i'm happy for you, know that i am
She knew they were nothing but a weak physical attraction. Their endless make-out sessions drove their hormones crazy but they never made the move. It wasn't like she hadn't gone to third base before. In the back of her mind, something didn't feel right. She believed the bad feeling would go away if they finally slept together. They never reached that point.
She glanced over to his table, he sat there happily smiling at his blond best friend's jokes, and stealing glances at his new interest, his new girl. Those two are perfect, a match made in heaven and everyone agrees.
There were many things the pink-haired girl had that she didn't.
She—Sakura is smart, beautiful, caring, and had this intense emotional connection with him. Sakura made him laugh and smile without trouble. He went to places Sakura wanted to go. He opened up about his feelings and fears with Sakura. They had been friends for years but it wasn't until spring break that they became official. Their bond was as powerful as his with Naruto.
It didn't take long until she found out Sasuke had developed feelings for Sakura.
She wasn't sure if it was when they were seeing each other or not. They were never official but it hurt so much when he broke things off. He told her that he's able to talk to Sakura about things that they could never.
Sakura had become his source for happiness. His reason to smile.
She cried for days until one day, she realized maybe what they had was a trial and error. They were the each other's before person, before meeting their true love.
Or maybe he was never hers to begin with.
As she glimpsed over at the perfect couple again, she frowned. She wanted them to break up so she could be with him again. Knowing that that would never happen, she grabbed her bag and left. As she walked away, Karin wished someone would love her like Sasuke did with Sakura. Possibly as much as Karin loved with him.
