Chapter Four: Thank You
Her eyes gradually fluttered open, vaguely seeing the ceiling above her due to the darkness, and the pinkette couldn't comprehend on why it was so dark in her room.
She languidly sat up in her bed while looking over at her digital clock that was placed on one of her dressers and her pupils constricted at seeing the actual time.
Sakura had always woken up at six in the morning. It was her routine.
However...
The current time was four in morning, meaning that she only slept for two hours considering she went to bed around two in the morning, and a loud gasp had escaped from her lips.
"That idiot... I'm going to kill him..." she said under her breath while chuckling and hustled out of her bed.
Too much energy was contained inside her and she knew very well that attempting to go back to sleep would be futile.
Sakura decided that going on an early-morning walk would be good for her and she exited her room.
Several minutes later...
Outside, the sun had just begun to rise, and she was briskly walking along this path that lead to this lake.
She stared at the lake in awe as the sunlight reflected down upon the water and it was rather mesmerizing.
Cautiously, she began to walk across this wooden dock that lead to the very same lake, and she sat down once she reached the edge of it.
Her feet dangled over the edge of the dock, almost touching the water, and she leaned backwards as the palms of her hands were firmly placed behind her back.
The sun was almost about to fully rise as the sun rays blinded her slightly and the tender breeze danced with her hair.
From the corner of her eye, she saw a silhouette from afar, and reluctantly turned her head to the left. She saw a young man about her age standing on this luscious grassy hill from afar and her eyes widened ever so slightly.
The sky-scraping hill was unbelievably astounding and a wooden fence was firmly in place at the edge of the hill.
This young man was standing on the edge of the hill, his hands firmly gripping onto the wooden fence, and he intently stared at the lake.
His hair almost appeared auburn from afar; however, she realized it was actually a crimson-red, and he had possessed the most mysterious hazel eyes she has ever seen.
It was as if everything went into slow-motion once her eyes caught a glimpse of him and their hair gracefully danced with the wind.
He remained looking forward, not noticing her gaze, and his face seemed expressionless but so calm at the same time.
It was as if she was in some sort of trance while she felt her cheeks heat up slightly and she couldn't remove her gaze from him.
Her tiny mouth hung open innocently, utterly dumbstruck as her emerald eyes trembled wildly, and she felt the wind gently brush against her.
For a second, she blinked, and he had abruptly vanished.
Flinching, she was taken aback at his sudden disappearance, and her eyes widened in shock.
"Was...Was he really just there just now? He looks...kind of familiar..." Sakura whispered to herself breathlessly, utterly puzzled, and she adjusted a clenched fist to her chin as she began to ponder about the mysterious young man.
"Sakura, what are you doing here?" a voice demanded coldly from behind her and she instinctively turned around to see Sasuke.
Alarmed, her eyes widened slightly as they began to tremble, feeling her cheeks heat up somewhat, and she thought, 'Sasuke...'
