Chapter 12- Friday
"AH! Today's the big day!" Alice yells, bursting into my room and opening the blinds.
I hiss. "What the fuck, Alice?!"
"Come on, hun. Today's the day you get married!"
Married?! Oh no! It's Friday!
"The wedding's in seven hours." I tell her, then fall into my bed.
"Yes, I know. But you have to get ready; makeup, hair, nails, and we can't forget your beautiful dress!" Alice squeals.
"Ugh, fine. But I want Ino, Hinata, Tenten and Temari here." I tell her, and she nods, running out the door. Minutes later, they all arrive, Alice included.
"What's up? You weren't in school the past week!" Tenten asks.
"I got engaged." I respond, staring at my hands.
"WHAT?! TO WHO?!" Temari asks.
I gulp. "Sasuke."
"ASDFGHJKL!" They all squeal, and I roll my eyes.
"It's an arranged marriage. We were forced." I respond. "And the wedding is today. You're all invited."
"O-Oh my gosh! Curling iron, stat!" Hinata yells, and immediately one is placed in her hand.
"Let's make Sakura look absolutely stunning!" Ino exclaims, and all the girls chime in.
"Yeah!"
"Oh my god. Oh my god. Sasuke's gonna fall in love with you." Tenten says, and I blush.
"Y-you think s-so?" I ask, and all the girls confidently nod at me.
"Absolutely. Heck, I'd marry you right here right now." Tenten adds, adding to my blush.
"I love you girls." I reply, standing up.
"Now, let's get you in that dress." Alice says, and I nod. She and the girls help me put it on then gasp.
"Let me see." I say, standing in front of the mirror. I gasp at the girl before me. "T-this isn't me, is it?"
"I-it is you. S-Sakura, y-you're beautiful." Hinata says.
I smile at my reflection.
"The wedding's at four. You girls must get ready." Alice says.
"Oh shit! We have three hours!" Ino yells, running out the door.
"W-we'll be there." Hinata says, bowing and leaving with Tenten and Temari.
"So, what now?" I ask.
"You can take the dress off and we can have some tea before you go. It'll relax you more." Alice says, and I nod. She helps me out of the dress and slips a robe over my shoulders. I tie it up and we head downstairs. "Aaannd... Here you are." She says, placing the warm drink in front of me.
"Thank you, Alice." I say, closing my eyes and takin a sip. I finish the drink, and truth be told, I do feel calmer. "I should put some lipstick on." I respond, standing up and putting my cup in the sink.
Once I'm done, I slip on the dress, as the limo will be here in an hour, and grab my medical book, reading in my room.
"Sakura-hime... The limo awaits." Alice says a while later, and I nod. I drop my book and grab my heels, walking downstairs and slipping my heels on.
"Ready, dear?" Dad asks, holding his hand out for me.
"Nope." I respond, walking right past him and into the car. I can feel his confused look on my back, and I smile. I showed him! Chaaaaa!!!!
"Well, honey. You look absolutely beautiful." He says. I don't respond. "You're not still mad about this, are you?"
"Just don't talk to me. I always wanted my wedding to be special." I respond, and he stays silent.
We arrive at the cathedral. Dad steps out and offers me his hand, which I hesitantly take. A girl hands me flowers, and I smile at her. The music starts to play and we walk in. Immediately, I can feel all eyes on me. I gulp, but with the help of my father, we make it to the altar. I slightly now before climbing the stairs up to Sasuke, who looks handsome. The hint of a smile makes its way onto his lips, and I slightly smile as well. He hesitantly holds a hand out for me and I slowly accept.
"We are here today to join these two together through the sacrament of holy matrimony...."
"Do you, Sasuke Uchiha, take Sakura Haruno to be your lawfully wedded life? To cherish and love through sickness and tough times?"
"I do." He nonchalantly says, but somehow a blush still makes its way onto my lips. He nimbly slips the ring on my finger.
"Do you, Sakura Haruno, take Sasuke Uchiha to be your lawfully wedded husband? To cherish and love through sickness and tough times?"
"... I do." I respond, slipping the ring onto Sasuke's finger.
"Alright. You may now kiss the bride." The preacher says, and I blush a bright red.
Sasuke lifts the veil hiding my face and before I know it, his lips are on mine. We pull away after a minute to hear cheering, and turn to face our friends and family. And then I realize that Sasuke just stole my first kiss. I blush as we step down and get in a limo to the reception, held not too far from here. It's awkwardly silent.
"So... I feel like we haven't talked much."
"You think so?" I ask the Raven. "Everything was so rushed that I barely had time to think about anything."
"I second that."
"We hardly know each other. Even though we knew each other as kids. I wish at least we could have had a little time to get to know each other now." I add.
"Yep. Although I know for sure that you're a good kisser." He mutters the last part.
"W-what was that?!" I ask, blushing.
"Nothing. Hn." Sasuke says.
