It was 1st of February, Friday, 3:00 pm, and their classes had ended. It was
common for everybody to go to his or her locker, fix their things, bring home
books and do something else after class.
“Sakura!” shouted a girl hurrying towards her friend ahead of her. She
turned her head and gave her a questioning look. “We’re having a group study
in my place. Wanna come?”
“Oh, sorry Ino. I would like to but I still got things to do on my own,
maybe some other time. I promise I’ll make it up to you the next group
study.” Sakura said as they approached their lockers.
Sakura was a pink-haired teenager, tall; slim, pretty and with a slight tan
on her complexion. Ino was her best friend among all their group of friends,
taller than her, blonde haired, and with an outgoing attitude towards people.
“It’s okay. We won’t mind. Just don’t forget your promise.” Ino
grinned.
They proceed to do their own things and opened their own lockers. Ino’s
locker was a bit of a mess, not like Sakura’s, hers was neat but still you can
find some pictures of her boyfriend, and some snap shots of them together inside
her locker.
“What’s this?” Sakura asked herself, which made Ino look in her
direction. There was a little box inside Sakura’s locker, wrapped in red with
a ribbon on top. Sakura was curious about the small box because she did not even
remember that she had a box like that, and it was not hers. She opened it and
pried what’s inside. It was a bracelet, a gorgeous bracelet that has a heart
shaped pendant. Sakura can tell it was expensive.
She took the bracelet out and examined it, she found something that looked
like words at the back of the pendant, she looked closely, and it was her name
imprinted at the back! And there was a piece of paper inside the box saying: To
Sakura, of class IV-A. So it means that the bracelet was for her, but from whom?
The biggest question was: Who gave her the bracelet?
“From your secret admirer, I guess. Right?” Ino teased with a sly smile
on her face.
“Let’s be serious. Who would give me a gift like this? What’s the
occasion?” Sakura was bewildered.
“Don’t ask me. I don’t know anything about it. Well, I got to go now,
Bye! See you, Sakura!” Ino scoffed.
Sakura decided to bring the bracelet home; she didn’t even have a clue that
who was the bracelet from and that why would anyone give her such thing. It was
impossible that her boyfriend would give her that bracelet; he was away from
her. Boys in her class? She rarely talks to them.
All this thinking was making her more confused as she went home. She decided
to drop those ridiculous thoughts and started to study.
It was another simple day for Sakura. Nothing keeps messing with her mind
except the bracelet whenever she sees it.
“Another day, another story. Wonder what would be ahead of my day?” she
said shrugging the puzzled thoughts in her head.
As usual, her day started with Chemistry class and ended with History class
in seventh period. Nothing happened to Sakura, not until she opened her locker
again and found an envelope inside, with a message and no name. It was addresses
to her but there was no stamp. Again, she asked herself: who gave me this?
Gifts starting to appear each day, every after class when she opens her
locker. Her friends gave her no answer, and it seemed like her friends was busy
with something that she don’t know. She suspected many things, but still she
had no clue.
She received a CD of songs dedicated to her; all were love songs, a stuffed
teddy bear holding a heart in the middle. A pleasant heart key chain with a tiny
‘I love you’. Cards that says everything about love, a rose-designed
necklace and so much more! She brought home all those gifts. All in all there
were thirteen gifts. But who sent them to her?
First, there was the bracelet, then the envelope with a note of poem inside,
a teddy bear…A CD…. And…. And… Sakura was really confused. She sighed,
and turned away from the gifts. She slipped under the bedcover and lay still on
her bed. Then, something came in her mind.
Tomorrow… Valentine’s Day… How will my Valentines be? I missed
speaking with Sasuke…ever since his midterm exam, he seldom calls me
anymore… maybe he’s busy…I missed you…Sasuke…she thought as she
drifted to sleep.
[I called you today just to hear you say
you were not around]
Time passed so slow for Sakura. Her thoughts was invaded with hers and
Sasuke’s memories, she just missed him so much, and it made her sad and down
knowing she can’t be with him in Valentine’s Day.
[When the message was through, though I wanted to
I couldn't make a sound]
When she opened her locker, she was not thrilled to see a gift inside, it was
a rose, in an elegant white box, and a card was stuck at the bottom right.
[I wanna tell you the things I've seen
I wanna take you to where I've been]
“I’m yours, and your mine. We’ll be together, till the end of time.
You’re always in my head, and I hope I’ll always be in yours. Let me be your
Valentine, and let you be mine. Happy Valentines!” Sakura read.
[And I wish you were here with me
Don't you know]
It was weird, that note she read reminded her of someone.
[I really miss you - yes I do - yeah
I really miss you
Ohhhh yeah I do]
Could it be? Could it be…? Could it be really YOU?
[I'm writing to say I had a wonderful day
Hangin' with my friends]
She raced home, knowing there’s something going on. She didn’t what was
happening but she can sense something, whether good or bad, something was ought
to happen.
[But the memory dies as the sun reach the skies
I'm alone again]
She opened her door slowly, heart beat racing, mixing emotions was welling up
inside her. Many questions were inside her mind but right now she didn’t how
to deal with them. Then…
[I wanna tell you the weather is fine
When the night comes around you were on my mind]
“Surprise!” her friends shouted at the sight of her coming in to her
house. She gave them a look with surprise and bewilder. One of her friends
turned off the light, closed the door, played romantic background music and
candles were lit encircling Sakura. Sakura’s mind went blank. Suddenly, she
felt two strong arms encircled her frame and embraced her tightly. That familiar
embrace was too good to be true. Her guess was right; it was Sasuke.
[And I wish you were here with me
Don't you know]
“I missed you, Sakura.”
[I really miss you - yes I do - yeah
I really miss you - yes I do - I miss you
I really miss you
Ohhhh yeah I do]
Tears formed in Sakura’s eyes, she said nothing for a moment just simply
returned the warm embrace.
[I wanna tell you the things I've seen
I wanna take you to where I've been]
“Did you get my gifts? My fourteen gifts?” Sasuke asked. Sakura just
nodded as she rested her head on his shoulder, enjoying the warmth and crystal
tears formed in the corner of her eyes.
[And I wish you were here with me
Oh, don't you know]
“Good.” He smiled. “I got a lot of help from your friends, they helped
me get all those gifts into your locker each day.”
[I really miss you - yes I do - yeah
I really miss you - I miss you]
“You really surprised me, Sasuke. I didn’t expect you to come all the way
across town just to come here.” She said coarsely.
[I called you today just to hear you say
You were not around]
“I guess I did…Happy Valentines, Sakura. I Love You.” Sasuke said, as
he tightened his embrace on her and kissed her on the cheek.
[When the message was through, though I wanted to
I couldn't make a sound]
“I love you too, Sasuke… Happy Valentines.” As tears slowly rolled down
her eyes, deeply touched with her boyfriend’s actions. Their lips slowly met,
starting a romantic kiss in between the candlelight room.
[I'm writing to say I had a wonderful day
Hangin' with my friends]
They stood there quietly in the dark, engulfed in each other’s warm embrace
and sharing a long sweet kiss they missed in the times they were apart.
[But the memory dies as the sun reach the skies
I'm alone again]
...The End...

SasuSaku!
Did you draw this picture? It's amazing @_@ (And if not, you'd better have gotten permission from the artist
The writing is good, although it's kind of undetailled. The whole story should be longer: two weeks do not pass in five pages. There are a few grammatical errors, too
But don't get me wrong, it's still great
And the picture! @_@

Caring about someone, worrying about them, that’s bravery. Risking the safety of being alone to selflessly love another- that is true strength. And being hurt, and hurting one another...that is human. ~anime-artists
I'm glad my stubborn cousin agreed on making me a piece of drawing haha...
