The first date was mainly a date as friends. It didn▓t really help that all she talked about was Itachi. I thought she would have gotten a life by now instead of using my life as an excuse.
Itachi▓s graduation was coming quicker than I thought possible to my advantage and disadvantage. It would mean I wouldn▓t have to face his hard, almost forced, glare everyday. I still had feelings for him nonetheless.
We never talked - Itachi and I - we just kept at our sides. Mine being the light side of course, I▓m not that terribly evil now, am I? Okay, I can be at times, but that▓s not what we▓re here to talk about.
Itachi never acknowledged that I was there. He acted as though I was just one of those lecturing teachers that you never listen to.
I know what you▓re thinking, and I did try to confront him more than once. I tried to talk to him. I tried to forgive him every time that he rejected me. Actually, he did look like he was going to tell me something once, but then he stopped. When I tried to urge him on, he just walked out of the room like the little wimpy woman I loved.
Graduation day was already here, and my stomach wasn▓t. I felt like I was going to barf.
My parents came, which didn▓t help at all. I felt like now I was stuck in this cage where I couldn▓t contact my brother.
⌠I▓ll meet you there,■ Itachi told Mother and Father.
Yes, they were going out for lunch...without me? Oh no, we weren▓t a dysfunctional family at all. We just have parents that don▓t pay attention to one of their children and two brothers that are in love with each other...I think.
⌠Itachi,■ I said his name without even knowing what I was asking for.
⌠I▓m sorry Sasuke,■ Itachi muttered.
You should be.
No, I didn▓t say that. Thank God.
⌠For what? I thought you said I was a freak to society--⌠
⌠But I want to be a freak with you. I just thought you would have a better chance for life if you were more....normal according to society. I was wrong, loving me is what makes you more normal.■
Whoa, okay, well...um, I guess that was his graduation speech, huh?
⌠Why do you tell me now?■ I asked.
⌠Because...this time I▓ll really be waiting for you.■
