Sometimes I think I'm having a temporary memory loss. _ ... I hope I can ask someone like Ino's father, Inoue-san to get into my mind and read it to me so I can remember. D:


After class I had nothing else to do except browsing the net with my smartphone at the pool table corner. There were guys playing pool all the time there and sometimes it got really noisy until it turned really annoying.

Suddenly there were even more noises intruding the already crowded place. The tapping of slippers on the floor, loud laughter and chattering. It was obvious. It was the other group of mean girls who were popular for their attitude. Most of the gossips were either about or coming from them. So it was best to be on their good side to not get into deep trouble, well more like deep-shit gossip... They sat down on a spot around the area and the table for 8 was filled.

I was not a girl who can socialize that well and glamor girls like them were never my type.

After a few minutes, another group of people came over to this area again. But this time, it was a bunch of guys who came up to the group of glamor girls. And among them, I saw a flash of raven who was having no emotion on his face. The glamor girls were already calling out to him when the boys arrived. His face showed nothing towards the girls too. Cold as ever.

"Hey..." he was sitting beside me without me realizing as I was too focused on my smartphone.

"Sasuke..." I gave him a scowl because he interrupted me in beating my own high score for my game.

He ignored the face I gave him and proceeded to take out his laptop, laptop charger and a wireless mouse from his bag.

"Hey" I wanted to get his attention.

"What?"

"Why do you bring all these stuff to college? Don't you think it's heavy? I brought my laptop once and I never ever wanna bring that bulky thing anymore," I said, this time giving full attention to him but not the phone.

"You will see why..." he waited for his laptop to boot up.

Once he set up everything, I could tell that all his focus was on the screen.

'Oh god, I know that look...' I thought to myself.

And here it came, the extravagant graphics and soundtracks.


-After 15 minutes-

"Tell me again, Sasuke... Why am I in this...?" I gave him a look of fake confusion.

"Because I was so pro at it and you thought you can do the same?" he smirked.

"You know, you are narcissistic," I showed him the tongue.

"Fine, gimme back my laptop," he faked his temper and tried to take his laptop away from me.

"Okay okay! Sorry!" we laughed and he did let me use the laptop to continue the game.

"You should press these keys for combos stupid," he took over the game sometimes to help me get high scores and complete the levels.

"Hey! Be considerate! I'm playing this for the first time you jerk!" I pouted.

"Okay fine. I should've known. To find a girl who play computer games is rare enough. Now hoping for a gamer girl like you to play like a pro is out of the question," he shook his head side to side to emphasize his point about my poor gaming skills.

"What?!" I turned my head away from the screen to look at him angrily.

"Nothing," his focus was back to the game.


-After hours of gaming-

"My eyes... My head... They hurt! And thanks to you!" I put my face into both of my palms to ease the pain away.

"You wanted to try it so not my problem," he looked down at my sitting form from his standing position while he was keeping away his laptop.

"You could have stopped me from gaming for such a long hour!" I looked up from my palms and whined at him.

"I don't find your so-called "long hours of gaming" to be a problem so don't blame me," he tied up the wires of his laptop charger.

"What a friend!" I placed my face back to my palms.

"Thank you," he said it sarcastically.

"Jerk!"

"I take that as a compliment" he zipped up his bag.

"What's that game again?" I asked with my face still buried in my hands.

"Devil May Cry 4," I wondered if he was annoyed with me asking this question so many times.

"I see. I should get the game from you some other time. It's good," I smiled.

"Yeah. I think I can make a better game with the name 'Angel May Not Smile'," he smirked.

"You insane?" I laughed out loud.

"No, I'm serious," he said with a straight face.

"Idiot," I chuckled and gave a light slap to his forearm.

"Ouch," he pretended to be in pain and gave a light chuckle back.

"Let's go home," I stood up from my seat.

"Right. Bye."

This game was the one that made us closer day by day without us realizing. When we played this game, what we thought of was not the characters and plots of the game, but us. Those times we have been through. :)


Stay tune for next chapter. :D
