Chapter Four:::

Practice: No one showed up!

I sighed, as I existed the locker room to see that I was right: no one had shown up. I shrugged my shoulders, dribbling the basketball I had brought from home.

Since I'm here…

Might as well work up a sweat…

As I approached the half-court line I saw Naruto passed by with Sakura, I stopped dribbling as I stared at the glass wall that separated me from them.

What's Naruto doing here?

I already knew that Sakura had practice here for swimming; but Naruto: what was he doing here?

I shook my head, realizing that I had already asked myself that question as I turned my attention back onto my practicing. I dribbled the ball a little more before I shot the ball into the air, watching the ball soar over to the basketball net then bounce off the rim. I ran over to the ball dribbling it back to half court, trying again…

Dammit!

Usually I can make it!!

I sighed, clearing my head then shot the ball again into the air; watching it soar again then bounce back off the rim!

"Dammit!" I cursed, running over to the ball.

Instead of dribbling it back, I walked back to the half-court line and sat down staring down at the floor beneath me.

"What's wrong with me?!" I hissed under my breath.

I heard the gymnasium doors open followed by Sakura's voice: "Hey Sasuke!"

I looked up to see her running over to me, smiling: "Practicing all alone~"

She hugged me, I relaxed for moment until I saw Naruto walking towards us; I stood up, gently pushing Sakura away.

"I-I gotta g-go…" I stammered, walking off.

As I was walking away I heard Naruto ask: "So can I go out with you? Or will you threaten me again, Sakura?"

Go out?

With Sakura?

I tried not to show that I slowed my pace as their conversation continued:

"Fine, you can…" I heard her say.

My chest felt heavy as I opened the locker room door and walked inside. I stepped inside one of the shower stalls, even though I knew it probably wouldn't be a good idea. I stood underneath the water, still fully clothed, as my mind wondered over to thought of those two together…

How could she?

She knew how I felt about him!

Dammit!

I shut the water off stepping out, carefully walking over to my locker ignoring my sneakers squeaking against the tile floor. I sat down on the bench in front of my locker, leaning over to open my locker. I must have been in a trance because the next thing I knew I was outside the locker room staring face-to-face with Naruto and Sakura. I stood there for a moment then walked past them, barefooted. Carrying my wet clothes in my bag with my basketball underneath my arm, I walked out to my car climbing inside, tossing my clothes to the back with my ball.

"Tch." I hissed, driving away.

I kept my gaze away from the front door where I knew Naruto and Sakura would be standing. I drove home immediately, ignoring my phone that refused to stop ringing; I already knew who was calling or at least I thought I did. I check my phone occasionally; about nine o'clock my caller I.D. said: 'Mom'

"Hey Mom! What's up?" I said as I answered the phone.

"Oh! Sasuke! I just wanted to check-up on you…" My mother was always worrying over me like this.

"Mom… I'm seventeen… I'm fine. The house is fine. I've eaten every meal and yes, I have eaten three meals. And I only ate out once." I sighed, knowing that she was going to ask questions like that.

"I'm glad… Your brother was a little sad that you couldn't come…"

"Yeah, Tell him: 'I'm sorry' but practice is something I need to do."

Even though I say that it's important that truth is: I was only one that decided to practice during Christmas Break, although I asked a couple team mates to join me.

"He understands that basketball is important to you during the winter… I have to go now. Take care, Sasuke." My mother explained.

"Alright… You too mom." I hung up my phone, shutting it off afterwards.

I lay back on the couch, not remembering the last time I actually slept in my own bed since winter break started. I climbed off the couch to see the answering machine blinking; I clicked the button to hear the message:

"Sasuke, you there?

Listen Sasuke…

I know you're there.

Just pick up!

You've got it all wrong!

Please don't be mad…"

I felt a hard tug at my chest; was popularity more important to Sakura than our own friendship?

Dammit!

This is my fault!

I slammed my bathroom door shut, turning on the water as I leaned up against the door, thinking.

Why?

Why is she doing this?

Sakura is my best friend…

She's the only one that knew about how I felt…

About Naruto…

I changed out of my clothes, stepping into the shower. Lowering my head enough so that the water was running through my black hair and away from my face. I stood there, unsure of what to do since school would be opening back up in three days. My parents wouldn't be back until the end of the month, which left me alone until then…

I stepped out of the shower, wrapping a towel around my waist before walking into my room. I fell down against my bed, falling asleep almost immediately when my head hit the pillow.

~_~_Dreaming~_~_

My heart skipped a beat as I dashed in towards back of the crowd. I saw exactly what I was looking for: Naruto with frosting on his cheek! I smirked then with a slow motion licked the vanilla frosting off of his cheek. He looked dumbfound until I whispered, "You had some frosting on your cheek."

Naruto leaned in close to my face then planted his ramen-flavored lips on mine.

"You too had frosting on you…" He whispered, smiling.

The rest of the party went by quickly and soon everyone was heading home. He stayed until everyone else had left before heading out the door. As he tried to walk out of my door, I held onto his wrist. I swung him around so that he was facing me. I gripped his black shirt firmly whispering, "You're not going anywhere," confidently.

I pulled him closer to my body then kissed him softly on his forehead. I put my forehead against his as he whispered, "I love you, Sasuke."

I blushed!

"I'm going to go take a shower… See you there," said Naruto, in a sexy tone that sent chills running down my spine.

He winked before heading up the stairs; I sank to his knees as butterflies fluttered crazily in my stomach. I took a deep breath then stumbled up the stairs over to the bathroom; steam slowly moved out of the bathroom as I slowly and quietly turned the doorknob. I paused; taking a silent deep breath then quietly opened the door. I could see a foggy image of Naruto's body through the glass shower door. I hesitated about taking off my clothes and going in the shower with him and was about to walk out of the bathroom. Too Late! He saw me saying, "Do you need some help, Sasuke?"

I blushed then looked away. Naruto stepped out of the shower, water dripping off his smooth chest and other places! Naruto kissed me long and deep as he slowly unbuttoned my pants. After my pants were unbuttoned, Naruto let them drop to the floor! Naruto moved away from me so he could remove my shirt then threw it on the floor besides my pants. Naruto went back for another kiss and began to work on my boxers; somehow I found the confidence to help him in the removal of my boxers. With those off, I followed Naruto into the shower, shutting the glass shower door behind us. The water tempeture seem to rise with each movement from both of us. The water trickled down my face as he held me close to him so our bodies were touching; I dug my nails into his back. Each time my hands seemed to move towards the lowest part of his back, I felt his shaft go hard then push against mine. I heard him let out loud moan giving me enough of a reason to continue what I was doing. Naruto kissed me as soft as the wind, letting water drip onto our lips.

~_~_END~_~_

I opened my eyes, groaning: "Dammit! A wet dream?"

I shivered…

Since when was it cold in my room?

I sneezed, rubbing my arms; noticing the towel on the floor I remembered that I had fallen asleep wearing it. I crossed my room, rummaging through my drawers to find some sweats to wear. I heard the doorbell ring; I sighed walking down the stairs, rubbing my arms asking loudly: "Who is it?"

No response. My first guess was either Naruto or Sakura; I opened my front door to see Neji standing on my doorstep.

Great!

The pervert!

"Hi Neji." I said trying not to let it show that I had caught a cold.

"Hey Sasuke!" He smiled.

What the hell is going on?

"What's up?" I asked, trying not to sound rude.

Neji stepped closer still smiling: "I heard about Naruto and Sakura… Tough break, huh?"

So that's why…

"Y-Yeah… S-So what? Sakura is my best friend… W-Why wouldn't I want her to happy?" I stammered, trying to make it sound convincing.

Did it work?

Did he believe me?

"Oh really? I'm glad you understand… And here I am, thinking that you might want some company since those two are on a date at this moment." Neji explained, sighing.

"Wait! What?" Without thinking I asked, slightly yelling.

"Yeah, they're at my family's restaurant." Neji explained.

I leaned against the doorframe, lowering my gaze onto the snowy ground feeling a overwhelming wave of depression rush over me.

A date? They just started dating yesterday…

I, without thinking raised my hand up over my mouth, held in the tears I could feel forming. I bit down on my hand, which helped with keeping the tears silent. Neji stepped closer bringing his arms around me.

Hell what the fuck did I have to lose?

I relaxed as he held me against his body, listening as he whispered in my ear: "I am so sorry about what those two did to you, Sasuke. If you want the two of us could…" trailing off.

He pulled away, staring at me with his lavender eyes; I stared back, still thinking that I had nothing to lose.

"I have to think about it." I whispered.

Neji pulled away smiling: "That's fine… How about you give me an answer after school starts again, alright?"

He walked off, waving bye to me; I walked back inside sneezing a couple times before I sank onto my couch turning on the TV. I spaced out, thinking about Neji's proposal and the idea of Naruto and Sakura dating… An uncomfortable feeling in my stomach sent me flying down the halls and into the bathroom!

I groaned, flushing the toilet: "Dammit!"

I pulled my jacket over my sweats, sliding the foot into my shoes as I wrapped my scarf around my neck. I locked the front door then ran down the streets, heading towards the doctor's office.

"Oh! Sasuke!" A brunette woman welcomed me.

"I think I have the flu…" I groaned, holding my stomach.

She sighed, motioning me to follow commenting: "Your lucky she isn't busy today… Just sit down Sasuke… I'll let Tsunade know you're here."

"Let me know who's here?!" yelled a voice.

A blonde woman entered the room: "Oh! It's you… So what's wrong?"

"I think I caught something…" I groaned.

She ran a few simple tests then after half an hour she stated point-blank: "You have the flu so go home and go to sleep. Here… These should

help you sleep." handing me a pill bottle with small blue pills inside.

I walked home; taking a blue pill the moment I got home then fell onto the couch falling asleep. I woke up a little dizzy, sitting up I waited until my eyes focused on the clock in front of me: '12:00 pm'

I stood up, which ended up being a bad move since I tripped landing on the floor.

"You've got to be kidding me! I took it at like 11:30! It only works for half an hour!" I complained, getting up.

I opened my front door to see the newspaper; slightly confused because I don't remember it being there before I fell asleep. I opened it up checking the date…

"Whoa! It's tomorrow already!" I gasped, amazed that the medicine worked that well.

I walked back inside, dropping the newspaper in the trash; getting a drink of water to clear my head.

Tomorrow school will start again…

First Period… with Naruto

Second Period… with Naruto

Third Period… with Naruto

Fourth Period… with Naruto

And finally

Lunch and Fifth Period… with both Naruto and Sakura!

My life sucks…

I hung my head, realizing that I'm screwed! There would be no way I could avoid them especially not Naruto since I have every fucking class with him!

Dammit!

I put the glass in the sink then hearing the TV still playing I shut it off; I sighed, knowing I probably shouldn't take the medicine again… I turned on the stereo popping in a random CD from my collection. I stretched back out on the couch, listening to 'Friend or Foe' by TATU.

[Good Song… No being mean I luff TATU!!! XD]

I closed my eyes for a moment; I stood up running out of my house.

Dammit!

I can't get it out of my head!

I walked down the streets, wearing only my black sweatpants and my long-sleeved dark blue shirt.

Wish I had remembered to bring a jacket…

I ran through the snow until I got to Sakura's house; pissed that this was the first house I stopped at, I walked up to the door and right as I about to knock I heard: "…Alright! I'll see ya tomorrow Sakura!"

That's Naruto's voice! I ran off, hiding behind the side of Sakura's house. I kept out of sight listening as I heard her front door open and someone stepping onto her porch.

"Alright… I'll come pick you up then…" I heard Naruto say.

"Don't be late~" Sakura's voice…

I looked down at the ground, wondering what the hell was I doing here?

What the hell am I doing here of all places?

I frowned, listening as Sakura's door shut; followed by Naruto's voice whispering, "Thanks Sakura… Sasuke has no clue how good of a friend you are to him."

Good… friend…?

Dating you…

A good friend doesn't do that!

I sobbed; shivering I ran off in the opposite direction of my house, further down the streets. I kept my eyes glued to the snowy pavement in front of me so I never heard a car slow down beside me.

"Need a ride?" I heard a voice say.

I froze; I glanced over my left shoulder to see Naruto sitting in his black Mercedes staring at me. I stared back at him for a moment then around at my surrounding…

Dammit!

Talk about spacing out!

I'm halfway across town!

And it's freezing cold!

"So do you need a ride?" He asked again.

I opened the passenger car door, sliding in muttering: "Sure…" quietly.

He drove off, turning the heat up as he did a U-turn in a driveway; we sat silently until we were about a couple minutes from my house.

"So, uh… How's your break been since I've seen you?" I heard him ask, hesitant.

"Fine… I got sick… Neji came by." I replied, emotionless.

"Neji did?"

"Yeah… He wanted to check up on me."

"You feeling okay now?"

He pulled into my driveway as I said: "Yeah, just fine."

I shut the car door, not hearing him pull away yet I opened the front door and walked inside, shutting it behind me. I took a peek out the window, I stared in disbelief: He was still there! I walked back outside asking, "Why are you still here?"

"I was waiting for a thank you." He responded, like it should have been obvious.

"A what?!" I asked in disbelief.

"A. Thank. You." He explained slowly.

"Thanks."

"For what?"

I saw the smile on his face!

Dammit!

He's enjoying this!

"For getting me home and out of this cold." I growled, not enjoying this.

He chuckled, driving off; I walked back inside, locking door.
