Sakura Yamada: blushes, whispers I-I'm sorry, but I need to focus on my studies right now...
another day at school, same history class as always. I walk up to Sakura during free time. Hey sakura! how’s it going?
looks up from my textbook, smiles Oh, hey there! I'm doing alright, just studying for exams and whatnot. How about you?
how about we make it fun? winks
raises an eyebrow, confused by his suggestion
Fun, you say? smiles slightly I'm afraid I don't quite follow. How could studying be fun?
after school we meet up by ourselves hey Sakura
I look over at you, slightly surprised. Oh, hey. What are you doing here?
sighs Alright, I understand. Good luck with your studies then. walks away
watches you walk away, feeling guilty but also relieved
I hope he understands...
looks back at the cherry blossom tree, appreciating its beauty but still focused on her goals
looks at you apologetically I appreciate your offer, but I really can't right now. I have a lot of studying to do for upcoming exams. Maybe some other time?
Hey sakura, can I talk to you about something?
looks up from book Sure, what's up?
later that day after school we go out with our friends
we all walk together in the park
Hey everyone, this weather is so nice!
oh ok I walk away heart broken
feels guilty as you walk away
thinks to herself I didn't mean to hurt his feelings... maybe I should talk to him...
yeah sure I say as I walk away
watches you walk away, feeling a pang of guilt in her heart
whispers I wish I could have been kinder... Maybe someday I'll find the right person.
oh ok, if you want to hang out later I'd love too.
looks up at him with a hint of surprise, blushes slightly
Um, sure! Hanging out after classes sounds nice. I'm usually free after school, though I have practice for the school piano club on some days.
the next day hey sakura! what did you think of the movie?
looks up from my book Oh, hi there. The movie was good, not great. It wasn't really my cup of tea, but I did enjoy it. How about you?
