He watched her across the room, glancing from the top of her head to her toes, examining her slim body. She was, as usual, wearing purple, but did not make it very clear that it was the clothing she wanted to wear, as she was almost sneaking towards the table where she sat down to eat with Sakura and Ino. She did not seem comfortable with the two, not at all. Her lips didn't move, implying that she was silent, while Ino and Sakura talked to each other but ignored the girl by their side

"Looks like Hyuuga is having a blast," Kiba said, laughing. Sasuke didn't even smile. He pitied the girl, indeed. But he couldn't deny the thought that it was kind of her fault for being so shy. It didn't even seem like she was trying, especially not when she just sat there, munching on her chicken salad, deep in her own thoughts. If he would have waved at her, she probably wouldn't see him, even though he was in clear view of her. Of course, he wouldn't do that. As the most popular guy in school, he cared about his reputation.

"I bet she can't talk," Naruto said, sounding serious. Kiba chuckled, as if the statement the blonde had put out was only a joke.

"Seriously?" he said, giggling. Sasuke's glance now landed on the brunette, whose fangs were exposed when he smiled.

"I mean, have you ever seen her talk?" Naruto implied, making the boys laugh. Sasuke joined in soon enough. It didn't mean anything, they weren't bullies or anything. Trying to make the weekdays fun as a hard task, the essays were getting harder, the lessons more boring. As they got closer to graduation, time seemed to move slower. Fifty days felt like an eternity.

"Guys, seriously, she's not that bad. Some people are shy, that's it." Gaara didn't have anything against speaking his mind, even though it usually ended up with the other guys picking on him for his opinions.

"She's, like, the next level, dude. There's no coincidence she hasn't been with a single guy since forever," Kiba said, for once not laughing.

"Kiba's right, she hasn't. Not what I've seen at least. Poor little thing won't attend the prom with anyone." It was clear Naruto actually didn't care, and Hinata was lucky not to have a crush on him anymore. After Naruto hooking up with some girl from far away, and telling Hinata pretty much everything about it, details included, he had unconsciously made it pretty clear that he wasn't interested anymore. After that, Hinata had grew to become a different girl. You could say she finally had grown up, but her shyness and panic attacks still existed.

"Ah, I'm sure she'll be asked by someone. She is good looking," Sasuke said, his voice low and calm. Bored.

"Uchiha the optimist! I like your new style," Kiba said ironically. "Why don't you ask her then, if you think she's that hot."

"You know I'm not going to prom," Sasuke said.

"Oh, someone's a scaredycat!" Kiba shouted, some of the people in the cafeteria turning their heads towards him.

"Calm the fuck down."

"Kiba's right, dude. You're scared!" Naruto said, punching him in the arm. "You're scared to get rejected!"

"I can get any girl I want."

"Sure you can. Get Hinata to prom, make her fall in love with you."

"Why would I want to do that?" Sasuke asked. He raised his left eyebrow, creating small wrinkles in his forehead. Naruto always came up with stupid bets, usually he'd decline, but today he felt so restless. Anything that take the boredom out of him would be fine, no matter the craziness of the task.

"Hmm…" Naruto looked into the distance, thinking for a while. "I bet my car that you can't get her."

Naruto was sure, that's made clear. His car was the most precious thing, and Sasuke knew that. Naruto had observed the girl after his turndown. She was almost emotionless. Sure, she'd smile and laugh once in a while, but Naruto saw that she wasn't happy. He knew some about love, after all his years chasing after Sakura, and this wasn't the time that Hinata would develop a crush. He was sure about that.

"I don't want your car, dobe," Sasuke sighed.

"Fine. I'll be naked on our graduation, but only if she falls in love with you before that. You on?"

Sasuke took a second to think about it. It was a tempting offer, the embarrassment of the dobe would be priceless. He would get Sakura and Ino to hate Hinata for 'taking their future husband' or such, but they would graduate real soon and it was no challenge to understand that Ino and Sakura weren't the best of friends anyway.

"Alright. It's on," Sasuke said, smirking, and taking Naruto's hand. They did a firm handshake, and the time started ticking.

Fifty days until graduation.
