"So you bumped into this guy after Naruto straight out ditched you?"

"Yes,Ino. I've been repeating that for the next ten minutes."

"Don't you know what this means?"

"Nope."

"He's your knight in shining armor! Your savior! Oh-em-geee Sakura you lucky bitch!"

"Knight in shining armors don't exist, pig."

"They don't exist if you don't let them save you."

"I was about half in love when we sat down. That's the thing with girls. Every time they do something pretty… you fall half in love with them,and then you never know where the hell you are."
-J.D Salinger

The dobe was supposed to pick me up, but as of right now he was nowhere to be found. I clicked my tongue. I knew it was too good to be true.

I decided to go to the hotel by myself and just meet up with Naruto. That good for nothing dumb boy will meet my fist. Picking up my bag, I looked side by side to cross the road.

The flight from Sound had been smooth and peaceful. No delayed flights, no unnecessary fan girls and especially no screeching Karin.

It was half an hour before ten and I was really eager to sit down on a soft bed.

Taking a cab, I texted Naruto.

'Dobe, you're gonna get pummeled to the ground.'

The cab dropped me in a coffee shop near Konoha University. I looked at my surrounding and felt weird. There was no nostalgic feeling. It was like I have never lived in here.

I turned to the left and spotted a blond about a hundred meters away, and it looked like he was calling for someone. Immediately recognizing him, I thought of different ways on how to make him sorry.

As I was walking, I felt a small body crashed my sturdy one.
I frowned and looked down. A girl collided with me and she was crying. And she had pink hair. Wait, pink hair-

A loud sniff came from the damsel and it looked like she landed right at her butt. Squatting at her level, I offered my handkerchief. She lifted her tiny face and tried to rub any evidence of her crying.

"Are you alright?" I said. I was mean with girls back in Sound, only because my fangirls will torture any girl I come close with. Except for Karin, she's the one who tortures.

I glared at anyone who was looking at us.

Looking back at the girl, I was taken aback. The girl had the most vibrant green eyes I have ever seen. And then, there was that feeling. The feeling like you've seen this before. But where? And when?

I sighed, pink haired girl was just looking at me all the while sniffing like she was lost.

"Come on, I'll treat you to coffee." I told seemed to lighten up her mood because she stood up and dusted her pants. I pointed at the coffee shop where the cab dropped me and she nodded.

While walking, I forced myself to think I was doing this out of common courtesy. I was doing this because my mother taught me to never make a girl cry and never let them cry in your sight. But deep,deep,deep inside, this girl caught my attention. She has an aura that cures your homesickness, and she makes you feel warm with just her eyes.

I ignored the feeling scratching my insides and went inside the coffee shop.

I ordered black, and surprisingly the girl ordered black too.

We sat at the table near the window and sipped our coffee noiselessly, only hearing the background noise of people chatting their lives away and the faint sound of her breathing.

A moment after, she set her caffeine down.

"Thank you." She murmured. I , the girl talked.

"It's nothing." I said.

I observed her and contemplated on whether to make small talk, but I think she already planned ahead of me.

"I'm Sakura Haruno." She said.

"Hn."

"You're supposed to say your name after I said mine." She looked annoyed at my lack of response and I almost laughed. But an Uchiha doesn't laugh.

"Sasuke Uchiha." I stated. Sakura looked pleased and continued her coffee.

My phone vibrated in my pocket and I checked my messages.

'Teme, srry ddn't pcked u up got a girl problem call me later ja' It was from Naruto.

"So, what happened to you?" I asked the girl, bored out of my mind.

She visibly flinched at my question but nonetheless cleared her throat to talk.

"Boy. Replaced. Another girl. Get the picture?" she slumped in her seat and I frowned. Someone dumped her? Was he blind or was just a plain jackass?

"How about you? Where'd you come from? Why are you here?" I almost laughed at her ability to easily forget about being sad. She was too open, and I felt alarmed for a second. She was too carefree and sometimes it was dangerous. For example—right here, right now she doesn't know who I am but she was already spilling her story to me.

"You ask to many questions for a girl who was sobbing just moments ago." She glared and then pouted.

"I was just trying to make a conversation." I scoffed. Then she laughed.

Her laugh was angelic. With her perfect pearl teeth and small mouth, she looked like a dream come true laughing like that. She's really easy going and smooth, and I wondered if she ever fell inlove, or if she even felt what I was feeling right now.

I sound like a sap and quickly erased my thoughts before it gets more emo-er than that.

A comfortable silence passed through before I heard her sigh blissfully. She looked at me with her viridian eyes and soft crinkle of her cheek caused by smiling softly and I thought-

"Ne, Sasuke. Did you ever fell inlove? "

-I thought I just did.

Sorry for the short chapter. I don't have classes tomorrow and hopefully I can have more time to write down longer chaps. Thank you for your support!
