Everyone was stun at the sudden turn of events. They all remember how adamant she was to not even being in the same space as him, but now she is here, apologizing and asking to be friends!? They all were still as if someone pressed a pause button.
But what got everyone moving again was the boys face filled with tears, his expression still amazed with the change of attitude and the look she gives him.
But he hoped this wasn't a dream and he quickly hugged her, which startled the adults there, they worried that she was going to snap again and were ready to separate the two, only to get hit by another round of shock.
Sakura hugged him back and timidly patted him in the back, which made him cry even more.
"Uhh.... are you ok?"
"Mm, I'm hick, r-really ha-h-happy to b-be your f-f-friend." He was hiccuping and crying when he return her words.
