I ran in his direction.
At that moment I didn't think about anything. I cared the most about saving Uzumaki.
It was a moment, a matter of seconds, many scenarios ran through my head.
I ran blindly, as fact as I could. So I could find myself next to him, as soon as possible. I would even cover him with my body, even if I had to take the impact of the hit ,from the truck on myself.
Faster.
I'm almost there.
Almost!
I reached out my hand in his direction, once I was in front of him.
I grabbed his shirt, there were only few centimetres between Naruto and the truck.
I swiftly pulled his shirt to myself. We both landed on a pavement.
I only felt a strong wind, when the truck passed next to us.
And what? Did I make it? - I asked myself in my mind, with my face facing the pavement.
After a moment, when I finally got out of shock, I lifted myself with my hands.
I was trying to calm my breath. I felt few of my hair strips being glued to my face.
I turned my head slowly to the right, with a hope that he's there.
Everything happened so fast, that I wasn't even sure if...I made it?
Is Naruto alive?
Or maybe he is lying dead ,few metres away?
First thing I saw were blonde hair.
I focused.
I heard him breathing - very heavily, while crepitating a bit.
He tried to lift himself up with one hand clumsily.
Why is he behaving so weird? Was he that afraid?
-Are you alive? - I asked while breathing heavily, but I didn't get an answer.
-Ey, don't be so moody at a time like this! - I shouted.
My mood from "before the accident" came back.
Now I felt like punching him.
-Man, I'm saving your ass, and you are asking yourself to get hit.- I groaned and I barely managed to walk up to him. I kneeled down.
His behaviour was odd - He trembled and he was squeezing his eyes from pain. But why? Nothing happened to him after all. Why is he pressing his hand against his chest?
I reached my hands towards him, so I could get hair away from his face. They were wet from...tears?
-Ey Na- - I didn't finish because Naruto fell on me with his entire body.
Now I was the one sitting on the pavement , and Naruto sat between my legs, while pressing his head against my chest. I looked at him from above - he squeezed his hands even tighter on his hoodie, in a spot where heart roughly is.
I got scared.
-Naruto, what happened to-
-It will stop soon.- he said with a quiet voice.
-What will stop?
-Nothing, it will stop soon.- he said while forcing a smile. While he was still clenching his fist on his hoodie.
I had no idea what's going on, what am I supposed to do, what to say.
I wasn't ready for such situation, when Naruto would lay in my arms on a pavement, while being barely alive, while I wouldn't even know what has happened to him.
He was pale, and his lips seemed purple. Even so he smiled at me widely.
-But Naruto what-
-Nothing, don't pay attention to this.- he interrupted me, while trying to get up, but he fell into my arms again.
At that moment I was more scared than he was.
I felt as if, all my organs were flipping over.
-DON'T PAY ATTENTION?! - I shouted.-Tell me what's going on!- I demanded.
-My heart hurts. BUT IT WILL STOP SOON.- he added, when I was about to open my lips.
-But...how? Why heart? Did you hit yourself? Did something sharp wounded you there? Wait, show me.- I began to panic like a little child.
-What am I supposed to show you? Sasuke, I got-
-No! Since it hurts, we have to call!- I said to myself, while putting Naruto's hands aside so I could see his chest, and find the "reason" for his pain.
-Call who? Sasuke, listen to me.
-No! We have to call...an ambulance! A hospital!
-Sasuke but listen to me - I got-
-No, you don't. I will make a call!
-SASUKE! - he yelled.
***
Narration - Naruto
-Naruto! - I heard Sasuke's voice.
I wanted to turn around in his direction, but when I was turning around, I saw some lights heading straight at me.
I became paralysed.
Is that a light, that a person sees before death?
Suddenly I felt something pulling me backwards, I only saw some dark hair in front of my eyes.
Everything happened so fast, that I even forgot about breathing.
After a moment I landed on a pavement.
When I wanted to check what's going on, I felt something that I didn't want to feel.
My heart.
Again.
As if someone was stabbing me with a cold blade, right in the middle of my heart, and he began to twist the blade around. Making it hard for me to breathe, and taking away all my senses.
I grabbed my hoodie, while pressing my hand against the chest, with a hope that it would make the pain more tolerable. It didn't work- The pain was getting worse.
I heard Sasuke speaking, but I couldn't reply - he would hear my voice breaking down, and he would notice tears flowing down from my eyes.
Besides...I got no strength to speak...
I wanted to lift myself up, but the pain attacked me with a double strength.
I landed on something more comfortable, than a pavement.
After a moment that thing, lifted me up and put me in a more comfortable position.
I realised, that it was Sasuke- I sniffed his skin which had slight orange smell.
I would recognize that smell at any time.
It's something shameful to admit, but sometimes during a lesson I get distracted. Then I slightly lean over in his direction...and I sniff him.
I have to calm down, otherwise I will lose all the little respect that he has for me.
It must look pathetic though - I'm lying somewhere on a pavement with him, and like a little child I'm struggling from pain.
-Naruto, what happened to-
-It will stop soon.- I responded quickly.
-What will stop?
-Nothing, it will stop soon.- I said while forcing on a smile.
I was focused on trying to calm my breath, but the pain wouldn't go away.
I smiled widely, so that I could at least pretend that everything is OK.
Sai taught me that - smile is the best weapon in everything.
-But Naruto what-
-Nothing don't pay attention to this.- I interrupted him.
I tried to lift myself up with one hand, but I failed. I fell over on Sasuke.
-DON'T PAY ATTENTION?! Tell me what's going on! - he demanded. I looked at him.
-My heart hurts. BUT IT WILL STOP SOON - I spoke quickly, when he wanted to say something.
-But...how? Why heart? Did you hit yourself? Did something sharp wounded you there? Wait, show me.- he spoke quietly ,and he began to pull my hands away from my chest.
-What am I supped to show you? Sasuke I got-
-No, since it hurts, we have to call! - he said.
He behaved...weird. He trembled, he was waving with his hands and he kept saying something hard to understand. He looked like a crazy person, that ran away from a mental hospital.
-Call who? Sasuke, listen to me.- I tried to tell him, but he kept interrupting me.
-No! We have to call...an ambulance! A hospital!
-Sasuke but listen to me - I got -
-No, you don't. I will make a call! - he said and he was getting his phone out.
I got pissed off, I had to finish this drama scene.
-SASUKE! - I yelled. He looked at me.
-It's only a heart defect.- I said in a calmer tone, when the pain calmed down a bit.
The boy stopped moving, and he looked at me with terrified eyes.
I wanted somehow to "calm" the situaton, so I reached his face with my hands...when suddenly he threw himself on my neck and he hugged me tight.
I was in shock.
***
Narration - Sasuke
-SASUKE! - he yelled. My body got stiff and I looked at him.
-It's only a heart defect.- he said calmly.
My eyes opened wide.
Naruto looked at me confused.
I couldn't hold it in - I threw myself in his arms.
I was totally thrown off my balance.
I felt powerless ,and I felt tears in my eyes, but I managed to stop my tears from flowing down.
I hid my face on Naruto's shoulder, and I put my hands on his head.
It suddenly became quiet.
"It's only a heart defect" ...? "Only" ...?
After a moment I realised what I'm doing.
I jumped away from him. I stood up and without looking in his eyes I gave him my hand, to help him stand.
He didn't grab it. He barely managed to stand up alone.
-Only a heart defect, huh? - I asked him quietly.
-Yeah, but-
-Why didn't you tell me?- I groaned, while looking at him with angry eyes.
-Is it something to show off?! - he asked annoyed.
-No, fuck. I'm going crazy whenever I'm with you,- I hissed through my teeth, and with a poker face I began to walk towards the metro station.
After a moment Naruto caught up to me. For entire way we haven't talked to each other.
***
When we arrived at the station, it turned out that a next train is in about 20 minutes.
We came to conclusion, that we won't bear sitting with each other for the next 20 minutes in silence, so we began walking through an empty field.
We could see the highest buildings from the distance ,which were located in the centre, along the road there was nothing apart from pylons.
We walked on a left side of the road.- on my left side grew a long grass, while on the right some crops.
The asphalt wasn't even, it had some holes in it, but at the same time it was smooth. Perfect place to watch the sunset. Birds were chirping in the background.
Me, just like me, whenever I was stressed I smoked.
Naruto seemed irritated by it, because he kept grimacing.
-You didn't say, that you're smoking.- he spoke.
-And you didn't say, that you got a heart defect.- I said with irony.
-How is heart defect, related to smoking?- he asked.
I stood in front of him. His hair were being slightly blown by the wind.
-Firstly: We both hid something from each other - You your heart defect, me smoking.
Secondly: You can die from both things. - I "explained" and I took the cigarette in my mouth, I inhaled some smoke and I exhaled some in his face. He coughed.
I began walking.
-But you didn't take one thing under the consideration.- he began, after he stopped coughing.
-What? - I asked and I was inhaling the smoke.
-I don't harm anyone with my heart defect. While you harm people around you with smoking.- he said and he smiled with satisfaction.
I looked at him.
-Is that really what you think?- I asked calmly. He looked at me confused. The light from the sunset was reflecting in his eyes.
-Let's say, that you will die. Do you think, that you won't harm anyone? You're wrong. You will harm all the closest people to you - family, friends. Maybe you won't harm them physically, but you will harm them mentally. You don't even have to die to cause harm - such situation like the one that happened today, will harm your friends.- I said with a calm and quiet voice.
I didn't want to scare him, I only wanted him to understand.
Naruto looked at me with his big eyes, and he became sad.
The wind blew.
I walked forward while leaving him behind.
A moment later I heard his footsteps behind me. I turned around - he walked with his head lowered.
After about 10 minutes we finally began reaching our area.
The train began passing by. The train tracks were separating this field and our estate.
Kiba told me before, that if I turn right, in the direction in which the train just went, after 20 minutes I could reach the sea.
I have to go there one day.
I was standing in front of the barrier, waiting for all the train wagons to pass by.
After a moment Naruto, ended up next to me.
He still had his head lowered.
The train was gone. The barrier opened. We started walking.
We turned to the first alley on the right, and we ended up on our estate.
I never had a chance to go this way before, since whenever I go back with Kiba, we are taking the main road.
I was throwing away, my third empty package of cigarettes.
On our way home, we went to a small shop "owned by fatty" , which Kiba recommended to me. The shop had some: choco bars on a shelf, small fridge with drinks and a till with friendly fatty behind it. Next to it was a cigarette machine (Common in Japan). Some melancholic music was playing in the background from the radio, there were also bells above the doors. I walked up to him, without paying attention to a look full of suspicion of Mr. F.
The cigarette machine was in older version, for cash. I felt relieved.
-What can I get you? - asked the fatty, while putting away his newspaper. I looked at the machine.
-Red Marlboro, please.- I said. The fatty looked at me with his eyes that were sure that I'm under-age. Then he just sighed, and shook his head. He got his fat ass off the chair. he took his key and he opened the machine, - he laughed.
-Sorry , the machine is broken, I have to open it to give you the cigarettes.- he said while giggling.
-It's fine.- I said with a smile.
The man took out the cigarettes and he passed them to me.
I have to admit that I was slightly surprised, that he gave them to an under-aged person, without saying anything.
-Anything else?- he asked
I looked at Naruto, who stood in front of the shop, as if he was scared to come inside.
-Eyyy, Uzumaki, come here.- I said while laughing.
The boy looked at me scared, and then he came inside with a smile.
The fatty greeted him with an honest smile, and then he went back to reading his newspaper.
-What would you like?- I asked when we stood in front of the fridge with drinks.
-That thing, in an orange bottle.-he said while standing on his toes.
I reached for the upper shelf ,to help him get a drink which he tried to get.
-Green tea with peach. Is it good?- I asked while holding it in my hand.
-Yes, it's sweet. - he said and he smiled in a cute way.
His smile made me feel better.
-OK. Cigarretes and this tea.- I said to the seller, while waving with the bottle.
The fatty only nodded ,and he was pressing some buttons on the till.
-I will pay for myself.- mumbled Naruto and he took the bottle from my hands.
-No. I will pay for it, as an apology for making you inhale the smoke.- I said and I took the bottle back. Naruto only nodded.
-410 yens.- said the fatty. I paid him and we left.
-You're smoking like a dragon.- said grimaced Naruto, when I lit another cigarette.
-Thank you for a compliment.- I replied, without getting offended by that statement.
-It wasn't meant to be a compliment. It's unhealthy and it causes many deadly diseases.- said Naruto while waving his hand like a professional doctor.
-I will die anyway, so I rather die without crying in a pillow, that I couldn't do the things I like.- I said and I took the tea from his hands. I took a sip.- It really is sweet.
-Everyone will die, but from so many cigarettes you could die too early.- he carried on while taking the tea away from me.
-Then I will get myself killed earlier, and you won't have to fight with me over Sakura, she will be all yours.- I said.
-It's not about Sakura.
-Wow, really?- I laughed.
-Really.
-Then what is it about?- I asked.
-It's about you.- he said and I choked on the smoke.
-You see! I told you that it harms you! - he shouted and he took the cigarette from me, he threw it on the ground and stepped on it.
-Naruto!- we heard someone's voice. I looked at Naruto's house - A tall well build man, with long white hair stood in front of his house.
He was wearing long, dark coat, and boots and jeans with the same colour.- Good that you're here, because I have to go out.- said the man , while scratching his head,
-Could it be, a karaoke bar?- said Naruto with a mocking voice. The man just laughed.
-Whatever, just go- said Uzumaki. The man only waved to him with a smile on his face, and he vanished behind a corner.
-What's wrong with him? Isn't he too old for flirting with chicks in a pseudo-cowboy costume? - I laughed.
-You can read my mind. But Jiraya is like this.- smiled Naruto to himself.
-Jiraya?
-Yea. My godfather. Ey, no one is home now, wanna come over?
Me and Naruto, alone in his room...wow, so much could happen!
But...
-No, I will get going.- I said.
-Why? It's only 6 pm.
-Exactly, aren't 4 hours with me, enough for you?- I laughed and I started walking away.- It's getting dark, you could rape me.- I laughed.
-Don't be ridiculous! Sasuke, wait! - he laughed. I could feel him grabbing my arm, and turning me in his direction.
And suddenly something happened, something that I would never expect- when he turned me around, I leaned over a bit too much, and I ended up touching his lips with mine.
We both were in shock.
I looked at him with wide eyes.
He did too.
-I have to go.- I said and I almost ran, leaving him behind alone in front of his house, with a confused face.
***
I'm just an idiot. I ran off!
I could just laugh, and hide the embarrassment.
What I did, must had looked really fucking awesome...
It was so close, I could have kissed him! As a goodbye, accidentally and with a smile I could walk away. He would take it as a joke...
Oh God...I only touched his lips. I only touched them slightly!
But it was so sweet...sweet and innocent. He has such a delicate lips!
I began daydreaming, I was angry at myself for not staying there.
I entered the house. While opening the doors, I bumped into Itachi.
-Why are you so horny?- He asked, while lifting his brow.
-M-m-m-m-m-me?- I stuttered - Why would y-you say that?
-You are all red, and your eyes look as if you took some drugs. I told you few times, that you shouldn't smoke that brand.- He said and he went to the kitchen.
Itachi knew that I'm smoking, but he never told my parents on me.
I stood on the hallway, without understanding exactly what's happening. I touched my cheeks - they were burning.
-But- but-but it's not what it looks like! - I shouted in his direction, while he poured some coffee in his cup, with a bored expression.
-Then what? - he asked calmly.
-I just ki-
EY! WAIT A MOMENT ! SASUKE, DON'T TELL HIM THAT!
-What did you do?- he asked, while looking at me.
-Eeeee...because I...ran! That's why I'm red.
-Then why are your eyes opened so wide? - he carried on, while sipping his coffee.
-Eyes...from...eee...smoking like you said. Plus the air in Tokyo overall irritates my eyes.- I said while I nervously giggled.
Itachi looked at me with an intelligent expression.
Quiet, Itachi is analysing.
I will hear his unique deduction.
Sasuke - It's a moment of truth.
Aha.- he said. I sighed with relief.
I sat by the table, opposite to him, while reaching with my two hands for a cup of coffee, like a five years old kid. Then Itachi took it from me.
I did a face of an annoyed child.
-You better make some tea, to calm yourself down. I never heard such a bullshit as this in my life - he hissed.
Oops..
Itachi, took his cup, and he left the kitchen.
I grimaced. I put my face on a table.
Suddenly I felt vibrations - I looked on the side - Itachi left his phone on a table.
I looked at the display, to see who sent the message.
Honey ;*
New message
HONEY ?!
I threw myself on his phone. I almost had it in my hands, when suddenly Itachi entered the kitchen, and he swiftly took the phone from the table.
-1:0 for me.- he said while leaving the kitchen, and sticking out his tongue.
Itachi ran upstairs, and he locked the doors to his room right in front of my face.
I only heard quiet giggling behind the doors.
-I will get you! - I shouted.
-Yeaa...of course. Pigs will began to fly before you do.- he laughed.
-Then are you flying? - I said, while trying to make fun of him.
Suddenly Itachi's giggling stopped. I stood in front of the doors while expecting a reply.
Suddenly the doors opened, and Itachi looked at me with a serious face.
I was afraid.
He took two steps forward, and I took two steps backwards.
With one move he pinned me against the wall, and he looked me in the eyes.
He lifted his hand, as if he wanted to slap me. I became paralysed.
After a moment, I felt him flicking my nose. I opened my eyes.
Itachi stood with a grin on his face.
I got annoyed.
I wanted to pull his long hair, but he ran to his room again, and he closed the doors.
-2:0 for me! - he shouted.
Monkey...
***
I was in a bathroom and I was brushing my teeth.
It's time to sum up today's day...
Meeting with Naruto was...I wouldn't say scary.
It was sweet. Especially when Naruto was sticky from the giant lollipop, which we bought in Harajuku. And the moment when he got scared of the clown from McDonald. And when he was hugging a little kitten, which was walking around the station. As well as when he wanted to take picture with me- of course I didn't agree, because I look horrible on photographs, but then he did that sweet annoyed face.
And the moment when we stood in the middle of the field.- he looked beautiful with sunset behind him...
And the time, when I felt his lips...but
" It's only a heart defect..."
Those words echoed in my head.
Am I insane? I threw myself in front of the truck?! For someone like that?!
I know him for few days, I keep fighting with him, I wanted to save him, while risking my own life?!
After everything I even shouted at him...
I'm weird. I'm fucking weird.
So fucking in love...
I raised my head and I looked in a mirror.
Did I just think that I'm in love?
***
I woke at 6:10 am.
I got myself ready and I went downstairs, to drink some coffee.
I found Itachi in a living room - he fell asleep on a table, with glasses on his nose and loads of papers around him.
I remembered the situation from yesterday - teasing each other, and being childish.
I miss that.
Even if I'm 16 years old, I would want to take him in front of the house and throw mud at him, jump on the puddle, or cover him in leaves. Being silly with an older brother.
But I don't think that it's possible because...we are too old for that.
Our "relations" aren't looking well.
We used to know everything about each other, and now?
I don't remember when was the last time, when we sat down and had a long and honest conversation...about everything.
I entered the kitchen and I prepared two coffees. I put one on a table next to Itachi and I poked him. He opened his eyes.
-Wake up.- I said and Itachi yawned.
He looked funny, when he was so sleepy.
-Thanks...-he said and he took a sip of fresh coffee.
I smiled. Normal brotherly caring.
I entered the kitchen to finish off my coffee.
Today we will found out important information about the trip ,and I'm pretty happy about that.
***
We stood in front of the class, while waiting for the teacher. It was about 10 minutes after the bell...but it's physics after all- lesson with Kakashi. He's always late,and he always has some smart excuses ready like : he had to help an old cleaning lady, he couldn't flush the water in toilet. Yea sure, and in reality he was sitting with his legs on his desk while reading a book, and eating some chocolate bar.
But we still love him.
I like that he is this way - chilled, modern and young.
All the teachers in our school, are wearing clothes like for a funeral, and he lately came wearing light green tennis shoes, with 2 blue highlights on his hair.
I'm not surprised that girls are drooling over him.
But he is married for 5 years and he has a 7 years old daughter - Kumiko-chan.
And I wish them the best of the best.
-Sasuke!- I heard someone call me.
I haven't had a chance to turn around, or do anything, I felt a gentle kiss on my cheek.
My body became stiff.
Suddenly I sniffed a smell, that makes my brain and body crazy.
-N-Naruto? - I asked surprised.- W-what are you doing?
-I'm giving you a gratitude kiss.- he said with a smile, after he got away from my face.
-W-what for? - I asked.
I could feel my body temperature raising and I could feel getting red. My heart pounded like crazy.
- I forgot to thank you yesterday for the tea! I remembered when I got home yesterday, I didn't have any cash on my phone so I couldn't send you an SMS to say thank you. It didn't leave my mind, and then I saw you- he explained with his cute voice.
-A-ha.- I said with a high-pitched voice. Naruto only grinned.
-Guys, come inside the classroom. I'm sorry for being late - Said Kakashi when he was in front of the classroom.
I kept staring at Naruto.
-Eyyy, anorexic - enter the classroom.- Kiba pushed me.
-Don't call me that...- I mumbled.
***
-OK, so we are going on a trip on Monday.- said optimistically Kakashi, and everyone in the class shouted "Yayyy"- We are leaving at...5 am.- he said and excited voices turned into whining.- We should arrive there at 8 am, once we get there we will eat breakfast. Then you will get keys to your rooms and you can unpack.
-Are the rooms decided?- asked someone from the front row.
-Yes, there will be four rooms, for six people each. First room: Shikamaru, Naruto, Hikaru, Isamu, Sai and Hajime.- Kakashi has read the list, and he looked around the class to see if there will be any objections. When no one said anything he looked at his list again. Second room: Hinata, Ayano, Temari, Tayuya, Seki, Yoko.- He looked at the class again, he girls exchanged looks and they began to squeal, to show that they are satisfied. Kakashi smiled to himself- Third room: Kiba, Sasuke, Neji, Lee, Shino, Choji. We looked at each other. Kiba grinned at us. I liked that too.
Fourth room: Ino, Sakura, Sadako, Yaeko, Michi, Norie.
We looked at Ino who unluckily ended up with Sakra and the rest of the class Barbies, in one room.- she didn't look happy.
-OK, since there's no questions I will carry on. Plan looks like this: Monday- arrival and Thursday - return.
On Monday we will tell you the plan of visiting, and we will give you a free day, since I don't think that you will be motivated to learn after 3-4 hours in a bus. I just hope that none of you will get lost.
On Tuesday we will wake at around 7-8 am, and we will be visiting mountains after breakfast.- he was reading from the paper.- Then you will listen to some...blah blah blah blah and test.- he said optimistically.
-What from?!- said Kiba, who after hearing the word "test" ,almost fell from his chair.
-Informations about the things you saw on a current day, I said that before. That trip isn't meant to be a relaxing day out, it has geographical-historical studying purpose, my dear ones.- he said and the class whined.
Wednesday will look the same- You will wake at 8 am and we are good to go - carried on sensei.- I think that we will be going to a national park, or something like that. Then of course test.
-Damn...it will be worse than a school! Test everyday! It's inhuman! - mumbled Kiba.
-That's why the trip is free - laughed Kakashi.
Thursday will be the same, but this time we will go to the lake. I hope that , there will be no victims.- joked Kakashi. We will return during evening. We will depart at about 7 pm that means we will be back here around 10-11 pm.
-Don't tell me that there will be school on Friday.- said Kiba.
-Yes! - Kakashi clapped his hands with a smile.
-But it will be hard to catch up on our studies. When I'm back I will be going to sleep straight away.- said Choji.
-That's why there's no lessons, there will be a bakery day.- smiled Kakashi.
-Bakery day?- I asked surprised.
-They organize that shit every year. First and second years bake cakes ,and they compete against each other for a trophy, "Best bakers of this school year".- explained to me Kiba, while waving his hand.
-What are third years doing on that day?
-Some are helping in some stands with cakes or something like that, and of course they are judging- explained bored Kiba.
-Have we got any volunteers?- asked Kakashi with positive attitude, and he took out his notebook.- Choji for sure I've been waiting one year for your cake with pudding.- Kakashi said in a dreamy way. With a smile he wrote down Choji's name down.
The boy just nodded.
-Sasuke? - asked Kakashi.
-What? Me?
-Can you cook?
-Yea, water in a kettle.- I said.
Prince Shikamaru burst out laughing.
-Write his name down, so that he can set school on fire, or drop us in rankings of the best schools- he laughed- That walking lack of talent can't do anything apart from showing off his lack of intelligence.
-But actually...he can't even do that.- he was making fun of me.
I want to punch him, but I will keep my dignity.
-Said a guy with a chain on his neck. Does your mummy feeds you steaks, and she let's you in a cage to play with other dogs? It would explain why you are so ugly.- I laughed. He didn't like what I just said.
-Boys, boys calm down.- Kakashi tried to calm us down.- Sakura do you know that you will be the host? - he carried on.
-Of course.- she said proudly and she moved her hair from shoulder.
-OK, that would be everything. At Monday at 4:45 am, everyone has to show up in front of the school, he concluded and he closed his notebook.
-Sasuke...-said Kiba
-Yea?
-Can you sleepover at my house on Sunday?
-Why?- I asked.
-Because someone has to wake me up...
***
3 lessons were over - physics, maths and Japanese. Now there's only English, PE and biology left.
Suddenly Sakura walked up to me.
-Sasukeeee - she moaned and she grabbed my arm- A sexy host should have a sexy helper. What would you say?- she asked, while getting closer to me.
-Get lo-
-Uchiha!- I heard Shikamaru's yell.
-What?- I asked. Sakura jumped away from me.
-Get away from MY chick! - he shouted, while waving his finger in front of my face.
-Tell that to your girlfriend.- I said and I calmly pointed at Sakura with my head. Shikamaru looked at her angrily.
-But Shika-chan, you got no time and I have to be with someone on the stage...-explained the girl, while sticking to him.
-What about Naruto?- he asked - I got some trust towards that orphan, because I know that you don't like him, and that he has no chance with a chick like you. While I can't be sure about him.- he said and he pointed at me.
I was in shock.
"What about Naruto? I got some trust towards that orphan, because I know that you don't like him."
I couldn't stand it.
I grabbed Shikamaru's shirt and I pulled him up.
Sakura screamed from fear.
-Did you hear youself?! How can you speak that way about your own friend?!
-Tee, why are you so confident, huh? Are you asking yourself to get hit? - he asked with his annoying smile.
-Sasuke! Put him down! - shouted Kiba, while running towards us.
-No! Not till he takes that back!
-What? - asked Sai, who ran to us with Temari.
-Naruto is not an orphan! He's your friend! I won't allow you to speak that way about him! - I shouted while still holding up Shikamaru.
Suddenly it became quiet around us.
I looked around the corridor.- few people stopped by to watch this scene, Kiba stood with his mouth opened while looking at me then at Shikamaru, Sakura stood next to us with a worried expression, Naruto stood by the wall, while Neji and Hina-
NARUTO IS STANDING BY THE WALL?!
I looked at him with terrified eyes.
He also looked at me but with questioning expression.
I put Shikamaru back on the ground.
Without saying anything I grabbed my bag, and embarrassed by this situation. I lowered my head and I ran upstairs without saying anything.
