Gambler of Feelings:
Chapter Two
A little bit angry Boruto by his previous encounter with that rude girl, heard the school bell. He sighed, his new personal grudge towards her must wait. Shikadai would scold him if he would be late to their club meeting.
"I'm not a idiot..." he whispered before going to meet with his group of friends. Boruto Uzumaki was well known by other teenagers as social, popular type of guy. However, due to his popularity, a small number of people could actually see what is hidden under his public mask. Boruto himself sometimes couldn't predict what he would do in a certain types of situations. Yes, he was social, yes, he had as well many friends, yes, he was probably the most lucky person to own a lot of precious thing, but still couldn't get one thing he desired - his father attention.
Naruto Uzumaki as this high school principal was very busy in maintaining this building. Although he was principal of this school, Naruto also was the boss in a big company called Hokage Inc. Boruto father was rarely at home and wasn't paying any attention to his children due to being tired. And even if Boruto could understand that the head of a Uzumaki family was very busy, it wasn't changing the fact that he felt hurt inside by his dad absence. The whole matter was also complicated by other people comparing him to his father. Boruto hated being compared to Naruto.
He understood that his father's success was not his. And yet people often praised him for it, like it was being his own. Except that they avoided talking about things, which Boruto achieved by himself. Boruto always had problems with it, but didn't want to create any unnecessary worries for his mom and younger sister. They were both stressed enough, even without his complaints about dad.
He walked by straight corridor, until he didn't stood before the strange door to theirs clubroom. This door was made from wood and the doorknob looked similar to a black crown. When he opened the door, he saw stylish brown tables, swivel chairs, and a cupboard containing board games. In some of the chairs were already sitting club members, which belonged to his closest circle of friends.
"I'm sorry for being late, ya'll know! I was helping a teacher and sort of bumped into someone on my way here." His apology and tone of his voice didn't convinced anyone sitting in the clubroom. Boruto was late every day to theirs club meetings. And he always invented new reasons for being late. It was mainly influenced by his dad close friend Kakashi Hatake. Boruto learned from him a lot of great excuses, especially when someone was inviting him somewhere, but he ended up being late. He had at least better contact with him, than with his own biological father.
"Nobody is fooled, Boruto. I think you should thought up a better excuse. This one wasn't that spectacular like former one" stated calmly, Mitsuki.
Mitsuki was one of Boruto best friends and for some strange reasons behaved like a stalker towards Boruto, but his honest opinions could sometimes hurt. Although Mitsuki had a good looks, unlike the young Uzumaki he wasn't that popular among girls at their school. Main reason for it wasn't Mitsuki itself, but his half-mom, half-dad called Orochimaru. Orochimaru claimed that 'he can be looking like a man, but is woman at heart'. Boruto never understood why Mitsuki always said that Orochimaru gender doesn't matter, especially to his all past girlfriends. Showing them all his collection of domestic snakes was one of Mitsuki strange ideas, but Boruto admited to himself that many of Mitsuki 'break-ups' were entertaining to watch.
Mitsuki, sharp, golden eyes, disheveled silver hair and the fact that he was now wearing a blue tracksuit, made Boruto almost laugh when he remembered the most famous break-up Mitsuki had with one of his girlfriends.
"You think something nasty about me, don't you, Boruto?" Mitsuki said, while sending to Boruto one of his scary smiles. The young Uzumaki almost forgot about sixth-sense this guy had.
"Me? No, of course not!" He nervously shook his head and noticed, that his words did not convinced his silver haired friend.
"It's troublesome" commented as usual Shikadai Nara. Shikadai was Boruto first childhood friend. However compared to the Boruto he didn't mind hearing comparisons to his own father. They both had the same very fashionable pineapple black hair, tied up in an ponytail and similiar speech pattern. The only visible difference between them was that Shikadai had green eyes just like his mom. Shikadai Nara was just too much lazy for caring about other people opinion unlike Boruto.
"For you everything is troublesome, Shikadai" spoke up Sumire Kakei. She was attending the same class as Boruto and was their class president. Sumire had a purple coloured eyes and hair, which she usually was tying into the two long braids behind her back. Sumire wore an official school uniform for a girls. A sailor's white blouse and black skirt, knee-length, white tights, and black boots. Boruto suspected that she joined the club because of her crush on Mitsuki. However it could only be his own impression.
"Since everything is troublesome, Sumire" responded Shikadai and yawned.
"Where is Chō-Chō?" asked Boruto and completely ignored this senseless conversation between the club members.
"On the family trip. She forgot to tell us about it. However our new club member can join to our club today, even without her. Apparently it is Chō-Chō best friend, so we can relax according to Chō-Chō words" explained Mitsuki, while Boruto sat in one of the chairs.
At the same moment, the door to theirs club room opened up and before Boruto appeared the same girl, which bumped into him earlier in the corridor, as well called him an idiot!
This was his chance to actually prove to her that he isn't an idiot. It was after all club who specialise in playing a different types of games. If she will be part of this club, sooner or later he would challenge her to a game. And Boruto Uzumaki never quits, especially when someone gets on his nerves.

Hello, everyone!
This chapter is more focusing on the Boruto than Sarada. x'DD Boruto didn't see Sarada broken smartphone, so he took her behaviour as insult.(LOL) I hope you all enjoyed reading this chapter. ;) And as well hope it doesn't contain too much mistakes. ^^' So here is my question considering this book. Which pair do you prefer MitsuSumi or MitsuChō? The book will contain moments for both ships, but I'm just curious which of the girls will be more suitable to Mitsuki according to readers opinion. x'DD
Yours clumsy author - Karinrumi ;)
