Oneshot
Girls are icky. And wierd. I sure don't like them. They are so.. strange.
Especially this one girl. But I like her.
She is the wierdest.
Her name is Sakura. But everyone calls her 'Sakuwa' because most people can't say her name right.
'Cept me. I can say her name perfectly. At least that's what she says.
She calls me 'Sasuke-kun,' too. But only her. I don't like it when the other kids call me that.
And she always sits next to me. Everyone says she likes me.
But then she gets annoying. And I don't like her.
But I like her when she's not annoying.
She's nice. But I don't like-like her. I just like her. Because she's nice.
And she gives me her onigiri at lunch.
But when I went to class today she wasn't there.
And I didn't sit next to her.
And I didn't get a chance to say her name perfectly.
And I didn't get called 'Sasuke-kun.'
And I didn't tell her she was annoying.
And I didn't get my onigiri at lunch.
And I felt lonely.
And I didn't like it.
I decide to visit her after-school because she must miss me too. I do it for her because I don't miss her that much. Just a little bit. And she must miss me more than I miss her.
I knock on her door three times because I know where she lives.
She lives 5 houses from the bus stop. I walked her home once. But just because she asked me to. We walked and didn't say anything. She didn't ask me again.
Her mommy greets me.
She asks me to come in and I do. I walk to the living room because I've been there before.
My mommy and Sakura's mommy are best friends.
I sit.
Her mommy asks if I want anything to drink and I say I don't want anything, thank you.
She leaves and calls Sakura.
Sakura comes down. Sakura's mommy goes upstairs.
Sakura says hi to me.
I say hi back.
I can't think of what to say.
"To what do I owe this visit?" she says because she can. She uses a lot of adult words because she's smart.
"You weren't at school today.." I say feeling funny.
"Oh, I know. I had to help my mommy with cooking. She had a party today so a lot of guests were here and we had to cook a lot." Sakura smiles.
I really like her smile. It's very pretty. But I can't tell her that. She's going to think I like her.
"Oh.." I really don't know what to say.
"Yup, you know, Sasuke-kun, I'm a woman!"
I thought my mommy was a woman. How is Sakura a woman?
"You can't be a woman," I say.
"Yes, I can."
"No, you can't." I puff out my chest to scare her.
"I am, too, a woman, Sasuke-kun!" Sakura turns a little pink.
"Nu-uh! You're not a woman," I tell her.
"Yes, I am!" Sakura looks a bit mad. "I am ALL growed up!"
"No, you're not! You're a girl!"
"But I'm a woman!" she argues.
"But my mommy's a woman!" I say loudly.
"I am a WOMAN! And that's tha—What does your mommy have to do with this?" she asks.
"Well, I can't like a woman. That'd be like liking my mommy."
Sakura is quiet for a minute. She looks at me wierdly. And then her eyes brighten up. And they become all nice and pretty. And she's smiling her pretty smile.
"Sasuke-kun." Sakura looks like she's going to burst with happiness. "You like me!"
And then she jumps on me and hugs me. It feels like I'm going to choke but I don't because her hugs are warm.
My mommy's hugs are warm.
Sakura looks at me. "I like you, too, Sasuke-kun!" And she laughs.
I don't remember hearing her laugh before. If I had, I woulda made her laugh more.
I really like her laughs and her hugs and her smiles.
Okay, so I kinda like-like Sakura.
Just a little bit.
Sakura squeezes me.
And I don't feel lonely anymore.
