Hers

I still couldn't forget the first day you transferred here in Konoha, Sasuke.

Yes, I know you all too well.

You are Sasuke Uchiha. An intelligent, handsome and talented guy. The apple of my eye.

Actually, the moment you stepped on campus grounds, I knew to myself that I will be your fangirl.

Its funny, really. I keep taking stolen shots of you in some of our classes and worship you like a God, but you don't even know I'm existing in this world.

It was like, I am a complete no body to you...

And at first, I was completely okay with that. I'm contented with just stealing glances from you from time to time.

I always avert my eyes to your direction in class. You were just three seats away from me. But why do I have this feeling that, you may be so close, but it feels like you are also miles away from me. In between class disccusions, I just find myself unknowingly staring at you.

But you never even seem to look at me.

Not even once.

I added you on facebook, and I guess you still don't bother to accept my friend request, huh?

It was a good thing Ino, my bestfriend was always there for me to support this one-sidded love of mine for you. She always go--or rather, I always drag her whenever I stalk you.

You remember that one time that you were made the team captain and you guys had a practice one late afternoon after the English exams?

I was there. With Ino, of course, never leaving my side. I was one of the many girls who dared to yell your name, in hopes of you noticing me even if its just a second.

I was insane by that time. Yelling at the top of my lungs whenever you shoot the ball. Imagining that, you were doing that to impress me.

And then, one time,

Me and Ino decided to share lockers since we need to earn money for some concert tickets.

But that served as a blessing in disguise, because the locker we got, was the one next to your bestfriend's. Naruto.

If you only knew, I was so happy that time.

With you always talking to him and leaning on his locker whenever you scold him.

I was having hearts in my eyes. And if it weren't for the fact that Ino has a boyfriend studying in another school, I would be saying that she likes you too.

Remember that day in the cafeteria?

Me and Ino fell in line. We were actually right behind you guys. I was blushing madly then. Who would have knew I would see your broad back up close and personal?

Damn. I really am crazily in love with you.

Then, one fateful day,

We were walking in the hallways because that time Ino forgot her make-up kit.

We then saw you walking the other direction, passing by us.

And that was the first time I saw you smiled when you encountered us.

After that, I literally needed to slap myself real hard just to believe that really happened. Now, I always walk in that hallway.

Could it be that you, Sasuke Uchiha, are starting to notice me?

Well, that was what I thought....

One day, a month before our graduation in high school, when I was about to confess my love to you,

I accidentally caught you and Naruto slipping something inside our locker.

I got curious. So, I waited until you two to walk away.

I opened our locker and was more than surprised to find a letter. And what breaks my heart more, is the words written on the outer part.

To: Ino-chan

My heart broke that time.

With shaking hands, I opened it and read what was written inside:

I have always been looking at you. I admire how beautiful you are, and the fact that, you caught my full attention.. The moment I first laid my eyes on you, I knew I fell in love.

-Sasuke

Tears ran down my face. Why Ino? Ino already has a boyfriend Sasuke! You want her to cheat?!

Damn it....why can't it be me instead? I have been begging to God for you to notice me all year! And I guess I'm not that good enough...

And with bitter thoughts, I hid the letter.

As I did too with all the other letters you slip inside our locker.

I am not going to tell Ino about this. Not that I'm being selfish and all, but Ino and Sai are happy together.

They have been for two years now!

And I am not going to let you mess with my bestfriend's life.

So, week after, I gathered up the courage and waited for you. Leaning on our locker, glacing at the wall clock.

4:00pm.

The exact time I catch you slipping letters. You sneaky bastard. I am going to tell you to back off and step our of my friend's lovelife.

And then, moments later,

You came.
