Pretending | Sakura Haruno

Pretending - behave so as to make it appear that something is the case when in fact it is not.

“Papa, I’m sorry-”

“Don’t call me that, it disgusts me!”

It was something Sakura was very good at. It was her hobby, a hidden talent. Because it was her life.

“Hmph, looks like you actually know how to do something,”

“How naive,”

She pretended to be happy even when she was upset.

She pretended to be well when she was hurt.

“Nee, Sakura-chan! Maybe you should take rest, it’ll be too difficult for you!”

“I’m... alright.”

She pretended to laugh when all she wanted to do was break down crying.

She pretended her feelings, her smile, and her perfect story.

“It’s nothing, I slipped and accidentally twisted my wrist”

“Some ninja you are,”

She was broken, maybe beyond repair.

But she was fine pretending.

“What do you even know about family, tch!”

She bottled up all her feelings when she wanted to be real. She wanted to please someone who would never ever think about her.

“That student of yours sure is weak Kakashi,”

“I agree, Sakura isn’t fit to be a ninja.”

She herself did know why she acted like this, but none of her friends knew that. Each and every one of them started betraying her and she was fed up with it.

“Hey, forehead! Are you even trying?”

But what could she do, she did what she always does, she pretends.

“I got tired of pretending, so I left.”

However, that was her mistake.

“I’m fine,” She replies,

But all her words were empty.

She gives them a smile,

A fake one.

Cause they will never know.
