Chapter 5: Let's call it a bet.
She lay gently on her bed and closed her eyes for one moment to think. For the first time, she thought of someone rather than her self or her letters.
'Who is he? Why does he seem so familiar? It seems like I've seen him before. Those same black eyes…where? Where have I seen those?'
Flashback:
"W-what is it?"
"I'm just curious, are you really in this class?"
"What is your name?"
"S-Sakura."
"Ah."
"Why?"
"Just curious."
She didn't speak another word for she couldn't find anything else to say to him. She just stared blankly at him, waiting for him to say something and after about a minute, he spoke again in his monotone voice.
"Nice to meet you Sakura." Then he turned away, leaving her eyes stare at his retreating figure.
End of Flashback.
That time, something in her is yelling to ask for his name but of course, she never dared. It was too normal for her but she isn't normal so she isn't suppose to act like that.
_Bloody Snow,
I had a nice day today. Not a lot of distractions, just the usual ones. The loudmouth screaming nonsense in my face spraying his spits in the process and the usual annoying people stalking me everywhere and taking pictures of my every move. Stupid, neh? Well, you could laugh all you want but that's just how my everyday goes.
But something else happened today. Guess it's safe to say it's something nice. I met someone; someone mysterious. Interesting, I must say. That's just about today. Be writing again tomorrow.
-teme-
She didn't reply to that letter. She just felt like she shouldn't. Anyway, what could she reply to that? The person just practically told her about his day and so what? She just writes reply letter to senseful letters, those that need replies.
_Bloody Snow,
Another senseless day. Just the usual whereabouts. Nothing new.
-teme-
_Bloody Snow,
This is like the worst day of the week. The loudmouth dragged me to the amusement park to meet his new girlfriend and guess what? The bitch ended up being one of those annoying girls. She chased me up to the end of the world. So that was obviously exaggerated. She just chased me up to the seventh stall from where we were. Good thing the loudmouth took action and punch her before she could get to me. The bitch fell on the floor unconscious on the spot and we just left her there. As soon as we were out of the freakin' place, the loudmouth started bugging me, screaming all his nonsense rants. Something about stealing his girlfriend and it annoys me so much that I've yelled unconsciously, "Die with that bitch!" But of course none of what we've said are serious. It's just the usual scene everytime he asks me to meet his new girlfriend and we're used to it. He told me that when he found a girl that will never be attracted to me and will love him and him alone, he'll never let go of the girl. Hope he finds her soon. Anyway, that's it.
-teme-
_To Teme,
So the name fits you. You really are a teme. I am not a diary or your little journal to write your everyday to so stop writing to me things that I do not have anything to do with. Got a problem? Write to me. If you don't have any, never write to me again.
-bloody snow-
_Bloody Snow,
So you're not all nice, I see. Well, remember, you are the one who advised me to write to you often and I'm just complying to your advise coz' they say your advises solves the biggest problems people could have.
Anyway, do you wanna play a little game? Let's find out each other's identity. The one who finds it out first wins. If I win,…well, I'll still think of what I want.
-teme-
_To Teme,
I am not interested of your little games.
-bloody snow-
_Bloody Snow,
You can not risk being discovered, can you? Well, guess you're not tough as I expected.
-teme-
_To Teme,
Let's call it a bet. I am confident I won't be exposed and guess what? I already have a clue who you are.
-bloody snow-
A smirk crept onto his lips as he finished reading his reply letter.
'I won't mind being caught first. I think it's even better you first find out who I am.'
For the first time a mischievous smirk appeared upon her thin, pale lips. She felt different, she felt…challenged and confident about it.
'I know I'll win.' She then closed her eyes and hummed a tune she heard someone humming one night. The tune, it's perfect.
He walked through the corridors of his school with an amused or dare to say it, happy expression upon his godly face which made him more good-looking than he already is. Good thing the corridors are empty at this time or he might already be running for his life because surely, his annoying fan-girls will die to get him. Why the corridors are empty? How can't it be? It's Saturday. No classes on Saturdays, right. And so he realized that fun fact as soon as he reached his classroom.
"Darn it! How could I forget, it's Saturday. I'm freakin' out of myself today." A head facing the window turned to him as he finished his statement and as soon as he saw the familiar face, he thanked heavens he's so out of himself today of all the days.
How could she not be surprised? No one, no one except from her goes to school on Saturdays and yet this person is here and coincidentally he entered the same classroom she's in but why not? He belongs to this class too anyway.
He put a small smile on his face as he advance towards the girl he seems to be fond of. Why? Simple. She's mysterious and somehow he's attracted to those types maybe because of his curiosity perhaps.
"Hi." He said in his usual monotonous voice.
She bowed slightly as a polite and timid greeting to him. She tried to stretch the sides of her mouth trying to imitate the expression on his face, trying to smile but she couldn't. She doesn't know how to. How will she know, she never knew how to smile.
Flashback:
"Sa-ku-ra. You're name is Sakura." The white-haired woman told her baby as she brought her up in her arms. A big joyful smile is evidently shown on her adorable face as she carefully watches her baby's eyes lit up joyously as she muttered, "K-ka-s-sa-n?"
Her already big smile widened as she heard her baby's first word. "Oh, my Sakura. You talked." She hugged her tight but gentle so as not to hurt her fragile body. A normal child should've smiled by then but not her. Her thin lips formed an unmovable straight line.
End of Flashback.
Sasuke missed the look of her trying to create a small smile and that's surely a heck of a loss for him. He'd be more than willing to teach her how to smile if he knows she doesn't know how to but it's much better to make her smile than teach her how to, right? So it's still a good thing then.
"What are you doing here on a Saturday?" He asked, looking out the window she was facing just before he arrived.
"N-Nothing?"
"You always go here on Saturdays?" She nodded. Really, he isn't a conversationalist but this girl is forcing him to be one. She won't talk unless needed so what options do he have? He badly needs to know something about this mysterious girl.
"Why?"
"hmm?"
"What do you do here on Saturdays?"
"N-Nothing?"
"Nothing? You go here to do nothing?" She simply nodded.
"You're really mysterious."
"One evening, you've been here doing nothing too, right?" She turned her head back at the window and started to hum her favorite tune. The tune she heard from the boy she saw one evening doing nothing at the school corridor.
He stared at her wide-eyed and with a slightly open mouth. 'How did she know of it? Have she seen me that night? Who? Who is this girl?'
AiEiNoTenshi's corner!
Konban wa!
Laughs…I've already posted the first and second chapter this afternoon and now I've finished the fifth chapter. Nice.
Oh, I want to apologize to all the readers who are patiently waiting for the updates of my other fics. I'm so sorry but I think I won't be able to update yet. Maybe not until I'm finish with this. I'm really sorry.
