Sorry for the late update~ busy with uni, and lost my motivation. I think this chapter has an interesting topic~ review your thoughts.
Hmm i duno why but this chapter is in bold..
11. Relationships
Sakura stood frozen, unsure of whether to remove her hand from Itachi's. She saw Sasuke's eyes fall on their hands, and shift uncomfortably from her face to Itachi's. "Oi, forehead! What's up with you today?" Ino's voice broke through Sakura's thoughts. It was fifth period, sports. The class had finally been dismissed and allowed to change back to their school uniform. Sakura trudged towards her locker and paused at the corner. Hinata was holding out a pink envelope and was bowing to Naruto!
"Sasuke, what are you doing here?" Itachi asked.
Sasuke didn't reply. He simply turned away from them and walked down the street.
Sakura's mouth was dry, she opened her mouth to call out to Sasuke, but no sound came out.
"Sakura?" Itachi's voice was soft.
"Huh? Oh, sorry Itachi. Did you say something?"
"You haven't answered my question. Would you like to see more of me?" his thumb gently rubbed circles on her hand.
"I need some time to think about it. Thank you for today."
Sakura gently pried her hand from Itachi's.
Itachi gave her a small smile, and leaned in to plant a kiss on her cheek.
"Good night Sakura. Sleep well."
The day had dragged on and was extremely akward. Sasuke and Sakura had managed to avoid one another despite being in the same class.
"Nothing," Sakura sighed.
"I'm not that blonde. Plus you have bags under your eyes."
Ino continued her relentless questioning until Sakura caved.
"Okay, okay! I'll tell you." Sakura blew out her breath in a huff. "I bumped into Uchiha Itachi yesterday and he treated me to lunch." Sakura hurried along with her explaination, seeing Ino's eyes light up. "It was just food, not a date or anything. When Itachi took me home, we found Sasuke-kun waiting outside my houseā¦" Sakura trailed off, unsure of what else to say.
"Sa-ku-ra! You little flirt! You snagged the infamous Uchiha brothers!" Ino laughed, delighted with the gossip Sakura had told her.
"No! I didn't, Sasuke-kun doesn't think of me like that. You remember what happened." Sakura objected, trying to defend herself from Ino's preposterous accusations.
"Whatever," Ino said smirking. "So, you dating Itachi?"
"No. I don't believe in dating for the sake of dating."
"Huh?"
"I mean, sure Itachi is really good-looking, but is he the one I want to be with?"
"I think you should just love the one with you."
"Do you really want to give away your heart to someone you're just going to be with for a few weeks or a few months?"
"It makes you happy being with the person doesn't it? So what if you give your heart away? I have a big heart."
"What do you have left to give the person you truly love if you've given it away to other people?"
Ino looked at Sakura suspiciously. "You've never talked like this before. What's the change?"
Sakura twirled a lock of pink hair around her finger.
"I'm just saying, Ino. Starting a relationship doesn't just affect you and the guy, but everyone around you."
"What's this?" Naruto asked, looking confused.
"It-it's a le-letter, Naruto-kun. Please accept!" Hinata stuttered.
