A/N: I expanded on my one-shot found in my 'Say it Again' compilation, "I Got You." You can read that before you head on over here, so you have a feel of how this story will go. :)

Boruto slumped down on the table, and pouted. "I really regret introducing her to all those people at Iwabe's party last week." He continued to watch Sarada and Chocho a few feet away from their table, surrounded by five guys.
Mitsuki was jotting down notes next to him. "I don't see what the big deal is." He shifted his golden eyes to their dark haired friend for a split second before returning to his notes. "They're just being friendly. Sarada is a good friend to have, after all."
Boruto released a long sigh. His best friend had a point. There was a reason why the three of them have been close since grade school. But he and Sarada went way back–back when they were only a day old. It was thanks to their parents, really. His dad and her dad. They went to the same school together, and even took the same course. The very same course that he and Sarada were taking–Law.
"Even if you glare at all those guys, they're not going to leave her alone," Mitsuki said.
"Tch. This is stupid," he sulked. "Why would I even care she has a lot of guys around her?"
"Because you love her!" Wasabi plopped down in front of Mitsuki with a shit eating grin on her face. "Hey, Mitsuki, what did you get for number three?"
Boruto froze in place. "That's bullshit and you know it, Wasabi. Sarada and I are just friends."
Mitsuki smiled until his eyes closed. "I'm actually solving it now."
"Oh, let me see!"
The two of them completely ignored the blond, adding to his growing agitation with the situation at hand.
The bell rang. Mitsuki and Wasabi packed up their books.
"I'll see you later, Boruto." Mitsuki waved. Wasabi did, too, before they headed to their building.
Boruto sat up and collected his things. His eyes never left Sarada's figure. She walked to class with three guys in tow. He felt himself frown.
"This is so stupid," he muttered.
Things were not going his way. Because Sarada had those three guys following her around, he didn't get to sit next to her in three consecutive classes. He had to sit at the back row, and got distracted just watching her be with other guys.
The bell rang, and he gathered his things. He was surprised to hear someone calling out to him.
"Boruto!"
He looked around, and his sapphire eyes landed on her onyx ones. She was waving at him from her seat, beckoning him to come to her.
"I told you guys, I can't go to dinner," she smiled apologetically. "I have a dinner with my family, and his," she pointed towards Boruto's direction with her head.
"What?" The guy with brown hair exclaimed. "What for?"
"Our parents are close." She grinned. Boruto was now next to her. She turned to him and smiled. "I'll meet you at the lobby in an hour, alright? Let's take your car?"
Boruto blinked a few times before responding. "Yeah, sure."
She linked her arm in his and waved at the three guys good bye. "See you!" Sarada pulled him away, walking a little too fast for his liking.
"What's going on?" he asked.
Sarada released a sigh of relief. "I've been trying to shake them off since second period."
"Well, it looked like you were enjoying yourself," he muttered.
Sarada was texting on her phone. She looked up. "Sorry, what was that?"
"Nothing." He rolled his eyes and stuffed his hands in his pockets. "What was that about? The whole, me bringing my car?"
She looked at him with her wide, dark eyes and blinked twice. "Don't tell me you forgot. We're meeting our families tonight for dinner."
Boruto shut his eyes tightly. "Oh shit, yeah. I totally forgot."
Sarada giggled. "That's so like you. Anyway, I'll see you in an hour in the lobby?"
He regarded her for a few seconds before smirking. "I'll pick you up at your dorm."
A smile came up to her lips. She felt better knowing that she would be in his company for a little while longer before they needed to socialize with their families. "Sure."
A/N: This is fic where I will indulge in all of my favorite romcom tropes. I hope you liked it! Updates will come every few days or so, since the chapters are really short.
Leave me a review and let me know what you think? :)
