Addiction
Chapter 5:Confusion
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto in any way.
People say time heals everything. I have been waiting for so long for Sasuke to speak up his true feelings for me. I've been waiting for that special someone to lift me off my feet, and suprise me with a happily ever after kiss. It's impossible because time is running out and I feel as if the clock had stop and I'm stuck in time. I will never get to be with Sasuke. For some reason I feel confused at what I am feeling. Before I felt romantic and floating on air, but today I feel so bland. I think it's time to forget Sasuke and move on. Time might heal everything, but I will no longer wait.
The spring dance is tomorow..
Sigh I'm still waiting for time to tick.
Hallway
Here I am with another new day at school. I stand in front of my dark green rusty locker. As I begin to crack the code of my combination lock, I see my friend Sai walk up to me.
"Hello Sakura," Sai greeted smiling his usual creepy smile.
"Hello Sai," I smiled back and finally opened up my locker.
"I hear the dance is coming up," Sai said smiling...again.
"Yeh, I can't wait," I replied back to him, grabbing my math book in one hand.
"Who are you going with," Sai asked with a different expression on his face.
This is very strange. Usually you would see a huge smile on Sai's face at every single second. What I saw was a different expression...more of a nervous expression. I'm a bit suprised.
"Well...whoever asks me first I guess," I replied back, still a bit confused.
"Oh, really?" Sai said lifting up his nervous expression and changed it into a huge smile.
"What about you?" I repeated his question.
"You Sakura," Sai said and walked away.
Wait a minute? What?!?
"Sai! What do you mean?" I asked him hesistantly.
"I am the first one to ask you aren't I?" Sai said still smiling.
"I guess you are," I said standing still in the middle of the hallway; as students pass by me.
I'm still confused. The boy that i've known for quite a while had just asked me to the dance. The only boy to ask me to the dance.

Lunch
Lunch time and here I am on the grass. As I take a bite out of my Japanese tray full of varieties to choose from; I take a look at the people I see around me.
I see Hinata and Naruto sitting at one small bench together. I see Ino and Chouji munching off potatoe chips. I see Tenten smiling at Neji as he replies with a smirk. I see Temari and Shikamaru silently chit chatting about their training together. And I see Rock Lee with...no one. No one at all. Not even a friend to talk to, or to tell secrets with. Just him and his tray. I stood up and walked over to his seat. I guess I wouldn't mind cheering him up.
"Hello Lee," I say smiling at the boy.
"Oh! Hello Sakura San," Rock Lee replied with two thumbs up...plus! his wide smile.
"You seem lonely," I say frowning a bit.
"Not anymore Sakura San! I now have you to make me happy," Rock Lee quoted. (very cheesy)
I chuckled a bit, hearing his sweet compliments seem to flatter me.
"Rock Lee, you could sit with me at lunch if you want," I explained.
"You mean it?"
"Yes I do."
It's strange how Sai changed his expression. It's strange how I'm beginning to let go of Sasuke. Or how Rock Lee felt when he was alone. And I think I'm beginning to actually like Sai, and finally let go of my past.
Weird huh?

Home
I almost forgot about my secret hiding place. I found it on the first day we moved here. It is a little cellar under my bed...but only Tenten and I know about it. No one else.
I haven't been down there for a while, maybe I should tomorrow...after the dance with Sai.

Midnight
"Sasuke-kun!"
"Hn."
"I love you! Don't leave the village!"
"I have to."
"Sasuke no!"
-----
Ahh!
Whoa. What a weird dream.
sigh
I lifted off my covers as I stepped out of my pink frilly bed and went onto the roof. I think I still love Sasuke...but how long must I have to wait?
I'm sitting here on the cold chilly rooftop. And I'm thinking and thinking.
Sasuke-My teamate for so long. That I became to understand him a bit more than what other girls couldn't understand. He hides his true emotions through a simple shrug or smirk.
Sai-A replacement teamate. Someone I still do not know. Someone that hides his true emotions behind his smile. Someone that I still need yet to know more about.
Hopefully, everything will go well for me at the dance.
