VII – Beginning of Konoha High
We just got back home from the amusement park and I was sitting in my room, on my bed with my knees up to my chest. I heard a knock on my door and looked up as I told them to come in. I watch as my door opens, revealing the older Uchiha. "Sayako, are you okay?" Itachi asked as he closed the door behind him.
"I'm fine, Itachi. Why do you ask?" I replied, looking at him with curiosity. I follow his movement as he came over and sat on the bed next to me.
"Both you and Sasuke are acting strange. What happened at the amusement park?" Itachi asked, the look on his face showed concern. It brought to my attention that he might be thinking something really bad had happened, which nothing did. It was just an emotional confusion of what we think of each other.
"Sasuke didn't tell you?" I asked and watch the older man shake his head in response. I turn my head to look away from him. I was getting really uncomfortable about where this conversation was leading to. "Uhm… Well, we were on the ferris wheel and, uh, while I was looking out the window the ride stopped and I started to fall but Sasuke caught me-"
"Sasuke kissed you." Itachi interrupted with a simple statement. Heat rose to my cheeks once again and nodded my head in response even though he didn't ask it. "So that's why there have been an awkward atmosphere around you two."
"Yeah, I don't know what to make of our friendship now. Are we more than friends now or what?"
"Well, do you like him as more than a best friend?" The answer got caught in my throat so instead I just nodded my head to answer him. "Knowing my little brother, he likes you more than a best friend. So, right now you're both best friends with romantic interests, until one of you builds up the courage to ask the other out. Does that sound good?"
"Yes, thank you, Itachi. However, I don't see me building up the courage to do so any time soon." I said with a small smile.
"I don't expect the question to come any time soon. Just don't stress over it too much, alright? I'll see you in the morning. Night, Sayako." Itachi said with a light smile as he stood up and left the room. I smile to myself as I lay down on the bed, falling asleep faster than I thought I would.
It's been two days since the amusement park and now it was "the big day". Today was my first day in Konoha High. Itachi dropped Sasuke and me off before he went to work. Sasuke was acting like he usually did around me but I knew there was something different about him. "Sasuke, Sayako!" I look up from the ground to see Naruto smiling and waving us over to him. He was with five other people, two girls and three boys. I gave a small smile to the blonde boy and waves as I walk over to them.
"Morning Naruto." I greeted. Sasuke stayed silent with his hands in his pockets as he followed me over to them.
"Sayako, this is Kiba Inuzuka, Shikamaru Nara, Rock Lee but you can call him Lee, Sakura Haruno, and Ino Yamanaka." Naruto introduced, pointing to each one as he said their names. Kiba had brown hair and eyes with upside-down red triangles on his cheeks and was wearing a dark grey hoodie. Shikamaru had dark brown, almost black, hair and brown eyes and was wearing a grey-ish green short-sleeved shirt. Lee had black hair and dark eyes that looked black, he was wearing a green jumper suit. Sakura had long pink hair and green eyes, wearing a red dress. Ino had long blonde hair pulled up in a ponytail and blue eyes, she was wearing a purple shirt and skirt.
"It's nice to meet you all, I'm Sayako Sanni." I introduced myself with a smile.
"So, is this your girlfriend, Sasuke?" Kiba asked innocently. Sakura and Ino seemed to glare daggers at the brunette.
"Sasuke has fan girls? I never knew that." I thought as I watched the others, staying silent.
"No, she's not my girlfriend. She's just a very good friend of mine." Sasuke replied to Kiba's question.
"Of course she's not his girlfriend, Sasuke's mine!" Sakura said as she gave Kiba the death glare. I glance over to see Sasuke starting to walk away and I quickly follow him like a lost puppy, unsure of where she was supposed to go. I overheard Sakura and Ino arguing about who Sasuke "belonged to" until I went into the school.
"Fan girls?" I asked to get rid of the silence between us. Sasuke just sighs and nods his head in reply. "I bet you have a lot." I smiled, trying to joke about it.
"You have no idea" was his reply as he stops in front of a door that said "main office". "I'll see you at lunch or whatever classes we may have together." Sasuke said before walking off as the bell rang and all the students started crowding into the building to get to their first class. I nod as I open the door and walk in, going over to the desk. A girl with black short hair looks up from the papers she was looking at with a questioning look on her face.
"Uhm… My name's Sayako Sanni, I'm a new student that transferred from Suna High." I introduced myself.
A/N: Sorry it was so short, and took forever to publish online. Got a new laptop and needed to buy Microsoft Word.
Sasuke: Stupid fan girls..
Itachi: Sasuke, you need to tell Sayako soon.
Sasuke: Why?
Itachi: Your "stupid fan girls" might do something to cause something to happen between the two of you.
Sasuke: Tch… I'll tell her when I'm ready so back off, Itachi. It's none of your business anyway.
