Behind the Camera

I watch. I watch during cheerleading practices. I watch during sporting events. I watch during school plays. I watch at home. I watch at school. I just watch and record what I see.

I have seen her grow out of her love of Tsukishiro-san. I have seen her stumble into a love of Mizuki-sensei. I see grow into love with Lee-kun. Sometimes I point out what she misses. More often, I keep my silence.

I know why she'll never love me like she has loved others. I'll always just be her dearest friend, and nothing more. It's not because her heart doesn't stray that way. Mizuki-sensei was a woman, and Sakura loved her. I puzzled it out years ago. Sakura's heart is drawn to magic. I have no magic. Therefore, I will never win her the way I want to.

I've made my peace with that. I will just watch, and record. I will draw my happiness from that. It is not my heart's true desire, but it will do.

NOTES: As with most of my CCS stories, this is all CC's fault. Really. Since I like the idea, I'll probably play with it again in future stories. INDEX INFORMATION LINKS BLOG
