Hi there! Here we are again, with a new story! Review!
Chapter 1 Crush
It was the start of a new school year and Uchiha Sasuke was walking through the hallways of the school. He was studying Law for a year now and this was his second. Sasuke looked at his schedule. It was pretty good. All he could hope was that he had some classes with his friends.
"Sasuke!" Sasuke heard someone call at his left.
Sasuke looked around to find Kiba, one of his friends waving at him. He smirked and walked towards him. "Hey. You seem happy. It's a school day you know." Sasuke said. He knew Kiba wasn't very fond of school. At all.
"Ah yes." Kiba said, smirking. "But! I saw that there are a few nice girls walking around here. Like her." Kiba smirked and whistled to a certain blonde girl who came walking towards them. He burst out laughing when he saw her looking at him angry.
The blonde girl came walking upto them. "Don't you whistle at me Kiba." She said stern, then hit him on the head. Sasuke grinned. Oh stupid, stupid Kiba. Never whistle at Ino.
Kiba winced. "Ow, that hurt." He said. "So how are you today?"
"Fine, fine. And you two?" Ino asked as she gave Kiba another warning glare. "Pretty good considering we're going to school again." Sasuke answered and shook his head, grinning.
"I'm faring fine." Kiba said, looking neat. "Where is the other chick?" He grinned.
"She's probably late again." Sasuke said. "Not a day goes by that she's on time." He grinned when he saw the brown haired girl coming their way.
"Are you talking about me?" The girl said, as she put her arms over each other, looking at them sternly. She was wearing a light blue dress, which came until her knees. She was wearing black pumps under the dress, which made her look really elegant. Her brown hair was loosened.
"Yes. About you and how you're always late." Ino said and smirked. "You look good today." Sasuke complimented.
The girl nodded thankfully.
"Thanks." She said. "And I'm not that late today, class hasn't even started yet."
"It's a miracle." Sasuke said sarcastically and smirked. "Anyhoow." Ino said. "We need to get to class now, so what'ya'll got?" She asked.
"History of laws." The brown haired girl said, sighing.
"I have.. euh.." Kiba said, thinking. "Oh yeah, English."
"I have english too." Ino said a little dissapointed. "Well I'm with Neji." Sasuke said. "So let's get going."
Neji nodded and started to walk. "We see you in the break." She said, waving to Ino and Kiba.
"Later!" Kiba said and walked away.
Ino waved too and followed Kiba. Sasuke walked with Neji. "So, how's your vacation been?" He asked.
"It was a bit boring. I worked a lot and stuff." Neji said. "And yours?"
"Mmm been ok. Last weeks I stopped working. Didn't feel like it anymore. Just too bad we couldn't meet up before school began." Sasuke answered.
"Indeed." Neji said, smiling. "But now we can." She walked a bit closer to Sasuke now.
"Yeah, that's good. Man, I wished vacations took longer." Sasuke sighed, not really noticing Neji walking closer. She was his friend after all, not a stranger.
"Indeed.." She softly said. "Do you like my new dress"
"I already told you that you look pretty Neji. The dress is great." Sasuke said and laughed at Neji's shyness.
"Ok, thanks." Neji said, blushing a bit.
"So, how's your love life been this vacation?" Sasuke asked and smirked at Neji.
"..It hasn't been something impressing." Neji said, shrugging. "And you?"
"Mmm not much. Been out a couple times, brought home a guy, then kicked him out after a make out session." Sasuke said and shrugged too.
"Hmm.." Neji said, while opening the door to their classroom.
Sasuke held the door open so that Neji could walk in. Women first right. "You should go out a little more too. I mean you're pretty, you could get every guy you want." He said.
"But I don't want every guy." Neji said, laughing a bit, while sitting down.
"It means you can choose you idiot." Sasuke said and laughed too. He sat down next to Neji.
"I know, but I haven't seen someone interesting yet." Neji said, while straightening her dress a bit.
"Then get a little less picky. You can't convince you don't have 'anyone' you like." Sasuke said.
"..Well there is someone.." Neji muttered, while taking her books out of her bag.
"Really? Who?" Sasuke asked curious. Neji had never talked about her crushes before, so now would be a great time to find out who she liked.
"Ah well.. I don't think you know him." She said, blushing a little.
"Well still, who is it? What does he look like? Where do you know him from?" Sasuke asked, determined to find out.
"..Well he's very handsome and musculared, I can talk to him really well and I just like him a lot." Neji said, while looking at her nails, still blushing.
"Who the hell is this guy?" Sasuke asked and laughed. Neji had another friend and he didn't even know about it?
"You think I'm going to tell you?" Neji said, laughing.
"Well I tell you everything so yeah. You owe me." Sasuke said and smirked at Neji.
"Perhaps I once will." Neji said, smiling and shaking her head.
Sasuke looked at her confused. If he didn't know the guy, then why didn't Neji wanna tell him? He shrugged it away after a while. "So you wanna hang out today after school?" He asked.
"Of course." Neji said, smiling. "Sounds fun."
"Cool. Your place or mine?" Sasuke asked.
"Yours?" Neji asked.
"That's fine with me. Can I borrow a pen?" Sasuke asked as he looked through his backpack and saw he had no pens with him.
"Of course." Neji said and gave him a pen, smiling. "We should pay attention now."
"Sadly enough, we should." Sasuke said and smirked at Neji before turning to the teacher.
Neji sighed and worked the blush away. Sitting next to his crush was harder then she.. he.. thought.
At the end of that day, Neji and Sasuke walked outside of the school building, towards their bikes. Neji was closing the zipper of her leather jacket now, meanwhile searching for her keys.
Sasuke already had his coat on and his keys ready. "You bought a new jacket didn't you?" Sasuke asked and smiled.
"Yes I did, do you like it?" Neji asked, while having found her keys and opening the locker of her bike now.
"Yeah it looks good on you." Sasuke said and opened the lock on his bike too and sat on the saddle.
"Thanks." Neji said, smiling at Sasuke. "I was a bit unsure about it, since it's leather you know."
"Well it looks good on you. You coming?" Sasuke asked. At that moment a big, grey haired guy walked up to Neji and Sasuke. He stopped in front of Neji now. "Hello pretty girl." He said and smirked.
Neji looked at the guy with a frown. Wow.. that guy was huge.
"Um, hi." Neji said, while getting her bike. "Do I know you?"
"No but you could. How about you join me to my place hm?" The guy said and licked his lips.
"I'm sorry, but I'm going over to my best friend's place." Neji said, not trusting the guy. She sat down onto her bike now.
"Oh come on. Such a pretty girl shouldn't waste her time with guys like that. Join me." The guy said and grabbed Neji's steer so she couldn't go anywhere.
"Could you let go?" Neji asked, while stepping off because else she was going to fall. "It's not funny anymore, I don't want to come with you, understood?" She looked at him angry. That would do the trick.
"Don't frown pretty girl. It makes your pretty face less pretty." The guy said and grabbed Neji's face with a grin.
Neji looked at him startled.
"Let go, now." Neji said, threateningly.
"Mmm let me think. No." The guy said and just kept holding Neji. Sasuke figured this would be a good time to butt in. "Let her go." He said as he looked at the other guy.
Mizuki looked at Sasuke for a moment.
"Ah just let me have my fun." He said, smirking.
"Not with my friend, go find yourself a whore." Sasuke said as he grabbed Neji's bike and drove it in front of the guy so he would let go of Neji.
"Tch." Mizuki said. "You'd better get out of here and mind your own business laddy." He shoved away Neji's bike so it fell into the grass, but he kept holding Neji.
"Just let her go, she doesn't want you. Go find yourself someone else." Sasuke said calm and got of his bike.
Neji now kicked the guy onto his legs with her pumps, and when the guy let go of her moaning, she quickly jumped onto her bike and started to ride.
"Come on Sasuke!" She said.
Sasuke looked at her surprised before getting on his bike again and following her. "What the hell Neji!?" Sasuke yelled surprised.
"I'm sorry but I won't get myself sexually harassed!" Neji yelled back, as red as a tomato, while they could still hear the guy yelling at them.
"Are you sure you're a girl?" Sasuke asked and laughed. Neji really was something sometimes.
Neji kept blushing and muttered something.
After a while of biking they finally slowed down, exhausted. They got to Sasuke's place and Sasuke stopped. "Damn Neji. You sure as hell gave me the excercise I need." Sasuke said smirking.
"Pff... I got really scared by that guy." Neji said, while stepping off.
"I can get that, what a freak. Make sure he stays away from you Neji." Sasuke said as he opened the door.
"I will." Neji said, shuddering. "That's one of those types who really forces you into something."
"Yeah. So come in." Sasuke said, holding the door open for Neji.
Neji nodded and went in.
Sasuke closed the door and walked inside, putting his coat away. "Do you want something to drink?" Sasuke asked Neji.
"Gladly." Neji said. "Some water please."
"Do you ever drink anything else but water?" Sasuke sighed and walked into the kitchen.
"It's good for my skin." Neji protested, while getting off her coat and sitting down onto the couch.
"Sure. Your skin's already perfect, I'm sure it can do without all that water too." Sasuke said and gave Neji his glass of water.
"Thanks." Neji said, accepting the glass. "It's never perfect enough."
"Give yourself some slack Neji, you're the prettiest girl I know." Sasuke sat and dropped himself on the couch, next to Neji.
"Thanks." Neji said, letting a small blush come upto his cheeks again.
"So, what do you wanna do?" Sasuke asked lazily. He was sitting on the couch, knees up and with his back almost hitting the seat of the couch. He never had to try and look pretty and tough around Neji. He could just be lazy with her.
"Hmm I don't know." Neji said. "Perhaps watching some tv."
"There's nothing on TV. I've got a better idea. You tell me who your crush is." Sasuke said and smirked at Neji.
"No." Neji immediately said.
"Oh come on, why won't you tell me? Is he ugly? Is he ten years older? Or younger?" Sasuke asked and sat up straight now, grinning at Neji.
"..He's one year younger." Neji muttered, looking at her glass of water.
"One year? So he's my age then?" Sasuke asked surprised.
Neji nodded. "Yeah he is." She said.
"It's not Kiba right?" Sasuke asked frowning.
"Are you crazy?" Neji said, snorting.
"Occasionally." Sasuke smirked. "Anyhow, it's not Kiba. So I really don't know him?" Sasuke asked.
"Well... you kinda do.." Neji muttered.
"Oh...hmm..So he's in our class then?" Sasuke asked confused now. He only knew guys from his own class that were his age.
"..Yeah he is." Neji muttered, looking down. She took a sip off her water now.
"Then who is it? Shikamaru? Naruto? Shino?" Sasuke asked, trying to remember the guys in his class. Who would Neji have a crush on?
Neji shook his head. "It's none of them." Neji said, sighing. Shit.. Sasuke would guess it in the end, she was sure of it..
"Who else do we have? Lee? Chouji? I don't know anyone else Neji, would you just tell me?" Sasuke asked confused. Who could it be? Who was in his class and would have Neji to fall in love with him?
"..It's none of them.." Neji softly said. Shit.
"Then who is it?!" Sasuke yelled frustrated. Why couldn't Neji just tell him? They shared everything, they always had, what made this different?
Neji swallowed. "..I.." Neji softly said, moving a hand through her hair. Why couldn't Sasuke just guess..?
Sasuke sighed heavily. "Pfft well never mind then. You'll tell me one day." Sasuke said.
Neji stared at the floor. She had to stop herself from crying.
Sasuke looked at Neji. What was with her? "..What's wrong?" Sasuke asked confused.
"...N-nothing.." She softly said, looking at her nails now.
"It's not nothing...what's wrong." Sasuke asked, putting a hand on her shoulder. Sasuke never liked it when Neji was upset. She didn't deserve that.
"..Can't you g-guess it already..?" Neji asked, while a tear left his eyes.
"..I don't get it...Why are you crying..?" Sasuke asked confused. Why was Neji crying all of a sudden? Because he didn't guess who she liked? Why was that such a big deal?
"..S-Sasuke I'm in love with you.." Neji said, wiping away her tears.
Sasuke looked at her. In love with him? When did THAT happen? "...What?" He asked, confused.
"..I'm s-sorry.." Neji sobbed. "..I k-know you're gay and all.."
"...Well yeah..but..why?" Sasuke asked. This just didn't make sense. They were friends for years, this would change everything.
"...It j-just happened.. I can talk t-to you so good.. y-you look so good, you're exactly my t-type.." Neji said softly.
"...Yeah but..you knew I'm gay.." Sasuke said, starting to feel uncomfortable.
Neji nodded. "..I k-know.." She softly said.
"Then...why did you fall in love with me..We were friends.." Sasuke said.
"..We can still be friends..." Neji softly said.
"..It'll be weird.." Sasuke said and looked to the couch. He couldn't look Neji in the eyes right now. He was feeling so uncomfortable. He had liked Neji yes, but she was a girl and he was gay. That wouldn't work.
"..I know.." Neji said, sniffing a bit.
"..Look Neji...I really like you..but you're a girl...and I'm gay..Could we just pretend..this never happened?" Sasuke asked. He didn't wanna lose Neji as his friend.
"..We can.. we can.." Neji said softly.
Sasuke stroke Neji's hair out of his face. She didn't deserve it to feel bad. "..I still like you Neji. A lot." Sasuke said.
Neji nodded and smiled at Sasuke. "I know.. I know.." Neji softly said.
"I'm sure there will be another guy out there who you deserve." Sasuke said.
"..I hope so.." Neji softly said, sitting back a bit.
"I'm sure there will be..." Sasuke said. Then there fell an awkward silence. Sasuke didn't know what to say anymore. Not what to do. This was so weird.
"..I'm sorry.." Neji softly said. "..Perhaps it's better if I go home."
"..Maybe...But then we'll never figure this out..and I don't want us to lose the friendship we had Neji.." Sasuke said.
"..I don't want that either.." Neji softly said.
"..I just don't know what to do with it.." Sasuke said, softer then he ever spoke. Uchiha Sasuke never spoke softly.
"...Just act l-like I never told you ok..?" Neji asked.
"..You should act like that too.." Sasuke answered.
Neji nodded. "..I'm sorry.."
"...It's OK. Let's just..talk about something else." Sasuke said.
Neji nodded. "..Did you know who that guy was?" Neji asked.
"What guy? That harassed you?" Sasuke asked.
Neji nodded. "I'm wondering if he's on our school or not." She said.
"I think he is, otherwise he probably wouldn't be there right?" Sasuke said.
"Perhaps he could be visiting friends." Neji said.
"Hmm could be, but it's still unlikely. Let's forget about that guy, it was an idiot." Sasuke said and smirked at Neji. He just wanted to forget what had happened before.
"Yeah but well.. what if he tries again?" Neji asked.
"Bitch slap him and run away." Sasuke joked. "No I don't know, just make sure you don't walk around alone. It's not like he'll rape you."
Neji shook his head. "I don't think that will happen indeed, but it's just a bit freaky." Neji said.
"I know, just stay away from him. He'll probably find a new victim soon anyhow. Hey Neji, are you a virgin?" Sasuke suddenly asked, curious. Sex was one thing the two never really talked about.
Neji looked at him for a moment. "..Yes I am, why?" Neji asked.
"..I was just wondering you know. Not many people are virgins our age." Sasuke said, feeling himself get red a bit. What was his problem? Why would he blush for that?
"I know.. why are you blushing?" Neji asked, confused. Why the hell was Sasuke blushing?
"..Huh? Oh no..I-I'm just a little hot." Sasuke said and laughed awkwardly. "Anyhow, you did kiss right?" Sasuke asked, quickly changing the subject.
Neji looked at him with a frown and then shrugged.
"..No I didn't." She admitted.
"..You never kissed anyone? Why not?" Sasuke asked surprised. Which 19 year old girl had never kissed anyone before?
Neji shrugged. "I guess I never found someone I wanted to kiss." She said.
"..Don't you..just wanna kiss someone to get it over with?" Sasuke asked.
"Yeah well I do, but I can't just go kiss someone." Neji said, looking at the floor. You could see she was thinking about what just happened.
"..Yeah well, I did that too, just to get it over with." Sasuke said starting to feel uncomfortable again.
"Hmm I don't know.." Neji softly said. "It seems so rude."
"You could just go out and kiss someone too. I'm sure every guy would wanna kiss you." Sasuke said.
"It's still rude." Neji said, shrugging. She just had to tell him something... but she couldn't... not yet...
"Hmm. Hey do you wanna stay for dinner? I'm sure it's ok." Sasuke said and looked at Neji.
"Sure." Neji said and smiled. "Sounds nice."
"Good. Should we watch a movie?" Sasuke asked.
Neji nodded. "That's fine with me." She said.
"What'you wanna watch then?" Sasuke asked as he stood up to walk to the so called DVD closet.
"An action movie if it's possible." Neji said, sitting up.
"Seriously, you're the only girl I know who likes that. This ok?" Sasuke asked, holding up a DVD.
Neji was silent but nodded.
Sasuke got up and put the DVD in the DVD-player, then sat down beside Neji again. He put on the TV and smiled at Neji.
Neji smiled back and then focussed on the television. Smiling, but crying from the inside. 'He' was crying from the inside.
Chapter one is done!
