I Never Knew

Chapter 2

Sakura. Sakura. Sakura!

"Sakura!" Ten Ten hollers.

"Hm?"

"Are you okay? You have been staring into nothing for the past 20 minutes." Ino explains concerned.

"Yeah, I am fine. I was just thinking."

"About what?"

"I don't really know. It was all out of order."

"Oh?" Ino replies.

"Yeah, but it doesn't really matter, so it's fine."

"Well, it must have been important." Hinata chuckles, trying to brighten up the mood.

"Nah."

"We have to go to our last class," Ten Ten says, changing the subject.

"Alright."

I start walking alone to my next class. It's all the way upstairs, and I am far away from there. I wonder what class Karin has next. I look at my surroundings to see if she is near, but luckily for her, she is not.

I continue to walk until I spot a male student coming my way.

"H-Hey." He says.

"Hi."

"I wanted to give you this note." He runs away right after he gives it to me.

"Oh?"

I saw something or someone in the corner of the hallway, but it was probably someone walking upstairs, too. I don't focus on them, but I focus on the note now. I started to read the note in my head.

I really like you, and I wanted to tell you that for a while now. Please be my girlfriend. I will do anything. Hmm. There is more? He has bad handwriting.. Uh huh. So I think that says.. Nah. I give up.

I throw the note in the trash, and I start walking again to my class.

I finally arrive and sit in my seat until the lesson is completed. I take notes as usual and didn't really think of the note in the hallway. But still, in the back of my head, I did think of the note. I frown, I don't like the boy, I am just thinking about the note, that's all. There is nothing special going on.

I feel eyes on me. I turn around and see Karin.

She doesn't know what she has gotten herself into.

"Oh. It's you, Sakura." Karin says, rolling her eyes.

I just stare at her deep in her soul. I do that, so she gets nervous and looks away from me.

And it worked.

She just looked me up and down and didn't want to focus on me anymore.

I have never liked Karin she was a pick me. Personally, I would never want to be next to her. But in this case, I have to be.

I know what I want to do. But the question is... Should I do it? I could be caught. But do I care? Nah.

I focus in class again, trying to forget what she has done to him and trying to forget that she even exists. I wonder if there are some leftover tools in my special box...

And before I know it, the class is done.

Finally. If I had stayed here longer, I would have lost it.

I walk out. Despite everything, I know my friends should be around here somewhere. And I should get to them before I lose my mind thinking of what to do with Karin.

I find Ino upstairs.

"Hey girl!"

"Hey."

"Alright, you won't believe it. Lee did 2000 push-ups, and he embarrassed me by asking if I could get him water. Like NO!"

"Oh?"

Ino and I walk out of the school, and we wait for Ten Ten and Hinata. When they arrive, we walk together until we have to go our separate ways to get to our houses.

When I get home, I go to my room and sit on my bed. I need a few things before I can do my plan. Or else it won't work. I stare at the ceiling, then I look at my pale hands, and I imagine very interesting pictures in my head.

"Yes. Yes. That will work." I say as pictures fly through my head, and my head starts to buzz.

I get up fast, and I look through my old box that I had for a while. There are tools for times like these.

I desperately search and go through my stuff. I find some things that I need, but I need more.

I call the person I need.

"Hello," I hear quietly on the phone.

"I need some tools."

"Oh. I know exactly what you need.." She says.

I smile really big. I love her she is always there for me. Even in times like these. I am so happy I have her.

"Okay, thank you."

"No problem."

I end the call. And wait a few moments.

I can't wait..
