No Longer in the Past (Sequel to Konoha High)

Chapter 4

I woke up, feeling better than I felt yesterday. I looked took my phone, and looked at the time. 6:43. Then I noticed the date. It was Saturday...

I sighed at my idiocy. I could have slept in. I laid back down in bed. I couldn't go back to sleep. Right when I was going to give up, my eyes slowly began to close, and I began to feel drowsy. Soon sleep consumed me.

~~~

My eyes fluttered open. I looked at the time. It was only 9:32. I got dressed. I wore black sweat pants with a matching black sweater. I opened the window. The sun was rising, the birds were loudly chirping, the grass and trees swayed from the breeze. 

What a nice day. I kept the window opened, welcoming the fresh air into my room. I wonder where Sasuke is. He's probably sleeping.  Honestly, I kind of wanted Sasuke to come here. But why would he after yesterday? 

Was I overreacting yesterday? Should I apologize to Sasuke? How could I apologize after saying something like that? I shrugged, ignoring everything. 

I jumped out of the window. Why don't I just take the door? I don't know, I guess I've grown use to jumping from the window. I love feeling the rush of excitement when I jump. I landed safely on the green soft grass. 

What to do today? I looked at the forest. The trees were lightly swaying, with leaves falling off the branches. I looked up. The sky was a clear blue, with occasional white clouds passing by. The bright sun was up. I was about to go to my bike to ride, but then I realized it would be a waste to ride on a bike on a day like this. I still didn't know where to go. 

Soon, my feet began to move on their own. I ended up at my favorite tea place. The building itself looked cozy. It was made out of wood, with old fashioned windows, a wooden door, with turquoise curtains for the windows. 

Once you enter, you see  turquoise seats that look like you could sink if you sit in them. The seats were near tables that looked wooden from a distance, but they were made out of plastic. The counters were also wooden, and the shop was decorated in black and white photos.

I walked towards the counters to order. There stood a man that looked about 24. He had brown hair, green eyes, with glasses. He was sort of tan, with freckles running across his face. 

"How can I help you today?" He asked. 

"One raspberry tea, with one teaspoon of sugar." I answered. 

"Alright, coming right up!" He yelled. He seemed enthusiastic. I sat down at an empty table. The seats as always, were soft. I took a deep breath in, breathing in the scent. 

As always, there wasn't a lot of people here. It was mostly silence, other than minor chattering in the background. The same guy was in front of me, putting the tea on the table. I nodded as I thanks.

"Would you like anything else?" He asked. 

"No thank you." After that he left back to the counter. I enjoyed the steam coming from the cup. I looked outside. Children and parents were passing by, smiling, and laughing. I looked back to the cup. I took a sip. I melted from sweet taste, and perfect temperature. 

I took my time sipping the tea, and looking outside. The sun made me feel warm. I finished the tea, and left a ten dollar bill. I left the building, and began to walk in a random direction. As I was walking, I noticed a black Hummingbird. 

Where have I seen that car? As I was walking, the window of the car rolled down to reveal Sasuke. He looked at me. 

"Hey." He said. He somehow seemed in panic.
