So, how do you people like this story so far? Well, I've got time to spare, so I guess I'll start working on chapter 3.
Chapter 3
Ever since I saw that note and all the truth, I was confused, but I don't know why. Why would I question Sasuke's love for Hinata? Wait, that can't be to cause of my confusion. Maybe, just maybe, I don't believe something. That has to be it. But, what could it be? Of course I can believe that a man can love Hinata! Is it that I want to know of the other person, more? Is it so, because it doesn't feel like I hit bulls eye. All my mind can revolve around is Sasuke. What has the truth done to me?
It was another day of being alive with such secretive knowledge of Sasuke's personal life and I couldn't wait for it to end. At least, I wish it was lunch. I am SO hungry and sadly, Mom forgot about waking up and I forgot about the school life altogether. Something was just biting at me mentally.
Now, for me, was the boring class of biology. I am a master at this type of junk, and all the substitute teacher is doing is reviewing the exact same thing we learned last class. So there is no bother of listening to her.
Sasuke, why do I see Sasuke? Wait, do my eyes deceive me? When was he in this biology class? Maybe I lost my mind! Oh dear, it's the curse of the truth!
He must've felt my eyes glaring deeply into him since he glanced, slightly, at me. Realizing it was just me, and not some crazy fan girl, he gave me a faint smile. It relaxed me so much, you know, to know that I wasn't crazy and that my eyes weren't playing tricks. Or were they? I should cut this nonsense, oh but I am so happy that Sasuke has taken my words so seriously. All it took was half of what I had of my egg sandwich! What a miracle, but I bet the girls must be wondering what made him suddenly smile so much. I couldn't tell them that it was the work of my brilliance, they would suspect something and I don't want to guess what it might be. Horrible though, it must be.
What is this feeling beating inside me? Is it-
"Tenten!" the substitute teacher called. I was shaken by her words.
"Er, yes sir? Ma'am! Um, I mean chief! Uh...uh.." I stuttered. That was all I was able to spit out.
"Tenten! The teacher said you were a good student, but you're not making the same impression," she scolded. The others snickered at me. How dare they look down on me! "Now, answer this! What is two to the power of ten times three? Come on, you should do this mental math easily!"
"Uh, that's simple Teacher-san! It's 3072! Wait! Teacher-san, this is biology, right?!" I answered. What an embarrassment. Could it be that I am in the wrong class?
She grinned. "Ah, I guess you are a sharp kid. Most wouldn't have even answered it, let alone not needing much time to think about it. If only most were like you. However, I would like it if you were to pay close attention!" She turned her back to us and started writing on the board. "Oh yes, Tenten, this is biology class."
Everything went back to normal, whatever normal is, and the only remark I got was Sasuke's impressed grin. Well, maybe some jealous snarls but, what can I do about that?

Classes were over and lunchtime has finally arrived. Mm the smell of pizza, I can't stand waiting in line! Oh, why do the twelfth graders get to go first? Just because we aren't at the top of the chain, doesn't mean we will allow them to abuse us! At least, there aren't a lot of them in front of me.
I leaned my head to the side. Oh look, only five more jerks left! Hee hee, you always have to stay positive. I giggled to myself, knowing that I wouldn't pass out for hunger.
But I guess my luck just ran out. "Hey you, the girl with brown hair!" snickered some twelfth graders. I ignored them. "Hey, I just acknowledged you! You should feel worthy!" Mentally I growled, knowing that if I did, all it would cause was trouble and no food.
A guy with emerald green hair and eyes, the leader of the group I suppose, walked towards me. "You there, you're a pretty cute girl. I wouldn't want your pretty face to be ruined, so if ya know what's good for ya let us cut in front." I looked at him, a pretty pathetic look. Bruises and scratches from unnecessary fights, I'm guessing? What a freak. Does he think he'll step all over me so easily? Well, he thought wrong.
I let out my snarl. "Make me you-" I said but I was cut off when a hand was slapped right onto my face, mouth to be exact. Biting would be my first intention but I looked up, to see the one and only Sasuke Uchiha. What was he intending to do?
"Yo," he said noticing my astonishment, followed by a quick smile. The girl in the idiot group melted after seeing his smile. Wow, he even attracts the older girls. "Hey, she's with me. So if you'd please, go to the back like everyone else." Sasuke looked innocent when he said that. Like he meant no harm.
The leader didn't appreciate the invitation. "Look buddy, we're letting her off with only a warning 'cause she's just a chic but we don't tolerate with dudes. Especially younger ones who act so high and mighty, A.K.A. you." They were nose to nose and I could tell Sasuke wasn't going to crack.
Sasuke gave him a devilish smile. "High and mighty you say? Never thought I was like that," he said and picked him up by the collar, "and it seems you haven't either." The leader could tell Sasuke wasn't showing any mercy and quickly caved in. Wow, I never saw a twelfth grader, who acts like he's at the top of the chain, that wimpy.
"Okay, she can go before us! Just put me down!" Hmph, like a spoiled child. He should have manners if he wants Sasuke's mercy. But Sasuke did what he was told and dropped him. Although something rude, and was sure to come, happened. He ran towards Sasuke, ready to punch him in the gut.
I can hear other students muttering over this, it's surprising that the teachers haven't come yet. Sasuke's changed, didn't he? He openly made me his friend, and is willing to stand up for me. I feel terrible, what can I do to make up for this?
The girl who was drooling over Sasuke had grabbed her leader's hair and tugged really hard. "Stop! He gave you a second chance! Now back of the line you go and don't ever touch my darling ever again!" The leader now seemed pathetic and hopeless. He did what she told him to do and brought the rest of his gang with him. As they passed, the girl gave him a blow-kiss and ran up, to the near front of the group.
Sasuke grimaced. "'My darling?' Keep dreaming you whore." I looked at him, never have I heard him say something that disturbing.
"Hey you, do you want your grub or what?" said the cafeteria lady. I ran to the counter and dragged Sasuke along with me.
I giggled. "That's it! I'll buy you pizza!"
***
In the end it was him who bought our pizza, rather than me who was planning to treat him. I humbly apologized, "I'm sorry Sasuke. I thought that if I bought you pizza it would be the nice gesture for what you did before. But in the end you were the one who payed the bill. Oh, I feel so awful!" I sobbed as a bit into my slice of pizza.
Sasuke leaned onto the wall. "It was nothing. It wasn't you fault that you lost your wallet the other day." He seemed to want to chuckle at that thought as he, too, bit into his slice of pizza. "After all, we really good...friends." His eyes grew dim. Ah, did I do something? Are we not friends? What should I do?
"We are not just friends!" I protested. He grew red and his eyes widened. I gave him a grin. "We are the best of friends." What am I doing? Why am I assuming this?
He let out a laugh. "Haha, I thought you were going to say something else but, hehe,"Sasuke never finished his sentence since he was laughing to hard. I feel offended but his laugh seems to soften me.
"Hey, don't laugh at me!" I growled and pinched him by the nose. "How would you like it if I told Hinata that you were being a total jerk to me?"
He stopped laughing at once. "Jerk?" By now we were nose to nose, as he was with the stupid leader. Oh no, this gives me a bad hunch. His eyes grew dim, "Hinata, eh? I'm tired of this being put on my shoulders..."
Then it happened.
Something out of the ordinary.
He kissed me.
The one and only Sasuke Uchiha.
I'm sure it was a big mistake! He must be thinking of Hinata! I did mention her name! Right? This had to be it! There is no other plausible answer!
Right?
Sorry that I made it go so quickly but I'm being lazy and putting together my ideas in random formation. It feels like I just want to get this over with...oh but don't worry! There will be more chapters! So don't kill me! AHHH!!! Runaway, it's the only solution.
