"Oh, God." The two words echoed through my head as he passed by me. His cologne smelt amazing, almost knocking me out and sending me into a sweet sleep. Why am I thinking of him this way? He's only a friend and he will never look at me the same way as I do him. He will never be in love with a guy like me, when he is in love with a girl like her.
His name: Sasuke Uchiha. The guy that everyone in the school wants to be with or is hopelessly in love with. His charisma can draw anyone to him. His charm can make the straightest guy swoon just by looking at him. He also happens to be my best friend and the current object of my affections. I've liked him since the end of our eight grade year and now we're currently seniors at Konoha High.
The lucky girl: Sakura Haruno. The girl that everyone hates or is envious of, not because she's beautiful or smart. Not because she can pull of having cotton pink hair; but because she gets to be the arm candy of Sasuke Uchiha. She gets to kiss and make out and do god knows what else with him...if only for a few weeks.
Everyone knows that Sasuke Uchiha never stays with a girl for no more than two to three weeks, four at the most. Doing something like that would ruin his reputation as one of Konoha's biggest playboys. She knows it, he knows it, and I especially know it.
I've known him for almost our entire lives. I know that out of all of the girls he has ever been with none of them have ever had any emotional connection to him and that he's only with them for the sex and to hold up his reputation. What I know best is that he is also beyond straight and would never want to be with me.
Which is why it's incredibly stupid for me to be crushing on him this bad. If I ever told him how I felt about him, it would ruin our friendship. What's worse is that I get to sit there and watch while he goes through these pointless relationships with people who care about him as much as he does them. I wish that he would notice how much seeing this hurts me when he has someone right in front of him who loves him more than anything.
At the same time, though, I'm glad that he doesn't. I don't know what I would do if he ever found out about my feelings. I've been trying as hard as I possibly can to keep anyone from seeing it. I just wonder how long I can keep this up.
My name is Naruto Uzumaki. I'm seventeen years old and I'm in love with Sasuke Uchiha, my best friend.

So it's the last day of our senior year and I'm so excited! Last day means summer break and then it's off to college! Last day also means last day of Sasuke's current relationship with Forehead Girl! Which means I get him all to myself for the summer!
This year I've talked Sasuke into going to a beach resort for the entire summer break! We're supposed to be off after school let's out. I'm already packed and we just have to stop by Sasuke's before it's all sun tan lotion, flip flops, and swim trunks for the next two months.
But first it's off to boring classes. The teachers give us the dramatic speech of how they have had the best year that us students could give them and that if we ever need or want to see them that they would always be here. Blah blah blah.
Kakashi-sensei's class is unsurprisingly full of excitement about our summer plans and and which college or university we're going to. That is until he walks in, silencing the class at once. Kakashi is always late to class and he always chooses the worst times to walk in. Why I say this is because he chooses to pop in when the room is starting to reach the height of its excitement. It's like he has a fun radar or something. Especially today.
"Now class I know that you're all excited for the break but we're still in class and we still have learning to do. So sit down and open your textbooks to page three hundred and twenty six." He says as his eyes crinkle on the sides. The whole class lets out a sigh and I swear he's smiling under that damn mask of his.
Kakashi-sensei is the advanced english teacher. He's very eccentric and he wears a mask and an eye patch. We have a theory that he was in some bar fight when he was in his 'prime'. He's actually a very young teacher but he reminds everyone of an old man. It may be because he has grey hair or the fact that he never seems to have any type of fun. Except for that porno book that he's always reading, even while teaching.
Finally his class ends and school lets out. Summer is finally here and now all I have to do is get the rest of my belongings and find Sasuke. I go to my locker and put my remaning school supplies in my bag, which isn't much. I reach for my creative writing journal when a pale hand snatches it before I get a chance to even touch it.
"You have five seconds to give back my journal before I hurt you." I say as I reach back and open my hand expecting them to give it back. They don't. "I'm serious. Give me back the fucking journal. I need to meet someone soon so my summer can start and you're currently getting in the way of it."
"Oh am I? Who is this person that you're supposed to be meeting so I can tell them it's not going to happen?"
I'm about ready to punch this guy. "OK, dude, seriously just give it back." I turn around trying hard not to stick him one in the face. "And by the way, the guy I'm supposed to be meeting is Sas- Sasuke?"
"Hn. I had you there didn't I? You're so easy to piss off, Naruto." He smirks as he holds the journal out to me.
"What the hell, man. I was seriously ready to turn around and punch you!" I move to grab the journal when he pulls me into a tight embrace and whispers in my ear.
"I love it when you're mad." He whispers and then licks the shell of my ear causing me to shudder.
I jump about a foot away from him and hit my back on my locker door. "Ugh. You know I hate when you do stuff like that to me!" I say, wiping the saliva off my ear and rub the part of my back that I hit.
"Which is exactly why I do it." He says with a chuckle. "Anyway I'm here to get you." He says as he stretches and crosses his arms behind his head, making his shirt rise a little and I can't help but stare.
"Totally! I am so ready to get this summer started!" I slam my locker shut and follow him out to his car. He drives a sexy, jet black Porsche Panamera Hybrid that always smells like leather and old spice.
-tR-
We reach his apartment and get out. I admire the place while waiting for Sasuke to get out his keys and unlock the door. He finally unlocks the door, opens it and walks in with me following behind him. I take my shoes off and pad my way to his room. I throw myself on his bed and look around. His room is always clean and his bed smells like him. I flatten myself to the bed and shove my face into one of his pillows and inhale.
"Having fun there?" Crap! I've been caught! "Mmmm, Sasuke!" I moan trying to play it off. " Your bed smells sooo good! I just want to rub myself all over it!" I roll around on his bed before I fall off.
"Owwww." I moan from the other side of the bed.
"Serves you right. Defiling my bed like that." He laughs. It's a deep, rich laugh. I love when he laughs. He never does it at school or in public, only when we're together. It's like a gift to me.
"Are you okay? Do I need to call a doctor or anything?"
I climb back on top of the bed and sit down on the edge on the other side. "Yeah, I'm fine."
"Good because I don't know who would take you to the hospital." I attempt to duck as he throws his shirt in my face.
"Gee thanks so much for your concern. I love you too." I throw the shirt back at him.
"Well duh. I mean who wouldn't love this?" He catches the shirt and gestures to his body with his free hand. "Oh by the way I have something I need to tell you about our plans for the beach."
"And what might that be? You need a stronger sun screen for your delicate skin? 'Sasuke SPF one hundred and ten isn't strong enough for you is it?" I make and innocent face making the both of us laugh.
"No, but for your information, it's one hundred and eleven. Anyway I wanted to tell you that I'm thinking about Sakura coming. I think she may be the one, you know?"
"You can't be serious? This was supposed to be our summer before we went off to college!" Inside I feel like crying. Not only does Sasuke want to take Forehead Girl with us on Our vacation, but he wants to actually stay with her. My summer has officially been ruined and it hasn't even started yet.
