" Hidden Love"
Chapter 13 " Another Day"
It was another day for all of the students as they walked into their school. Sakura was already at her seat, waiting for the first class to begin. She took out her notebook she usually draws on and began the draw. A minute later she noticed Sasuke walking into the classroom and went straight to his seat rather than stopping and talking to Naruto and Ino. Sakura looked around to see Naruto sitting at his desk, with a annoyed look on his face while Ino was talking to another female in the classroom. Sasuke walked up to his desk and took his seat.
" Morning." Sasuke spoke out as he put his bag down to the ground.
" Good morning. How come you aren't talking to your friends this morning?" Sakura asked.
" Well Ino isn't with Naruto and he is in a bad mood." Sasuke said.
" Oh okay." Sakura said then the school bell rang and everyone took their seats and Kakashi put his book that he was reading aside and closed the classroom door.
" Alright class, today you guys are going to work on a group packet. I have picked out your groups for you but I think you will enjoy who you guys end up with. Consider me being nice." Kakashi said as he began to call out the groups.
" Group number two. Ino, Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke." Kakashi called out and Sakura and Sasuke looked at each other.
" Well I guess he was right that we would enjoy our groups." Sasuke told Sakura quietly.
" What Kakashi? I don't want that pink haired freak in our group!" Naruto yelled out.
" Or maybe not..." Sakura mumbled then turned back to look at Kakashi.
" That is enough Naruto." Kakashi said then called out the other groups.
" Alright everyone now get together and for the rest of the period, you will all begin to work on the packet. One person of each group please come up and get a packet."
Kakashi started handing out the packets. Sasuke got up from his seat and got the packet and went back to his seat. Everyone went to each other's groups and Sakura watched Naruto and Ino walk over and sat with Sasuke and her.
" So Sasuke, did you hear that they are having a dance in two weeks?" Ino asked him as Sasuke tried his best to ignore her.
" Yeah Sasuke. We all are going to go so you need to find a date." Naruto said.
" Sasuke how about we go together? I bet we would be the best looking couple there."
Ino said with full of excitement while Sakura couldn't help but feel a little bit jealous.
" Excuse me but shouldn't we begin working on this packet?" Sakura said as she tried her best to change the topic.
" Mind your own buisness! You are just mad that no one would ever want to go near you at a dance!" Ino rudely spat out to the female.
" She's right." Sasuke finally spoke that caused everyone in the group to turn and look at him.
" See freak I am right! Even Sasuke agrees with me. I-" Ino began to speak but was cut off.
" No I met Sakura was right and we need to begin our packet." Sasuke said as he took a hold of the packet and began looking at it.
" Sasuke you should just go ahead and tell Ino she will be your date so she can shut it." Naruto began to complain.
" Wow Naruto, what is wrong with you?" Ino asked, ignoring the fact the Naruto just told her to shut up.
" I ran out of ramen yesterday." Naruto mumbled and he bang his head on the desk.
" Is he okay?" Sakura asked Sasuke.
" He gets withdraw when he doesn't eat his ramen." Sasuke said.
" So Sasuke, will you go to the dance with me?" Ino asked.
" No." Sasuke said.
" W-what? Why not Sasuke?"
" Because I said no." Sasuke said which caused Ino to get upset.
" Ino, I'll talk to him so stop whining." Naruto told the blond and she nod her head.
" Okay can we please start working on the packet now?" Sakura asked.
After class was over everyone left the classroom. Group number two had finally completed their work with the help of Sasuke and Sakura while Naruto was still grouchy as ever and Ino was pissed off and depressed. Ino got out of the classroom as soon as the bell rang because she was still too upset over her rejection. Sasuke and Naruto walked out of the classroom.
" Sasuke, you should take Ino to the dance." Naruto began to speak.
" No." Sasuke said back to his friend.
" Why not? Everyone else is going and since the dance was announced this morning, I'm sure many of your fan girls are going to start bothering you about it. Do you have someone else you have in mind?" Naruto asked.
' Sakura but that will never happen.' Sasuke thought.
" Why are you so cheerful all of the sudden?" Sasuke asked.
" Oh well I have cooking next remember? So now I can eat all the ramen I want!" Naruto said with excitement.
" Figures."
" But really Sasuke you need to ask Ino to the dance or else she is going to be a total bitch for the rest of the day." Naruto said.
" I don't care."
" You are impossible! What can I do for you so you will bring Ino to the dance? You don't have to be her boyfriend just be her date."
Sasuke thought for a minute, thinking over what Naruto was telling him. He had no intentions of going to the dance but Ino and Naruto would not leave him alone.
" I will go to the dance with her if..." Sasuke began to speak.
" What is it? Anything you want man!"
" I want you to stop being an asshole to Sakura." Sasuke stated.
" What? Why do you want me to be nice to that freak?" Naruto asked.
" Because I said so." Sasuke said.
" You are weird sometimes you know that? But since you are my best friend, I will do it. I will stop picking on Sakura if you escort Ino to the dance."
Naruto said with a grin on his face and saw up ahead was Ino at her locker.
" Sasuke, there's Ino. Now is your chance to ask her." Naruto said as they walked up to Ino.
" Hey Ino!" Naruto yelled out.
" Hi." Ino responded.
" Ino. I'll go to the dance with you."
Sasuke stated, not even looking in her eyes and began to walk off without hearing her response but he could hear her yelled with happiness behind him.
Sasuke arrived at his art class and went to take his seat beside Sakura and sat down without saying anything.
" What's wrong?" Sakura asked him with worry in her eyes.
" What makes you think that there is something wrong?"
Sasuke asked but still wouldn't glance at the girl. Sakura put her hand to his face and made him turn to look at her.
" Because you won't look at me and you are acting distant."
Sakura said in a concern tone of voice. Sasuke finally looked into her eyes, the eyes he always enjoyed staring into. He then started to begin feeling guilty and looked away again.
" Naruto is going to stop bothering you for now on." Sasuke said.
" Really? Why is that? And why won't you look at me when you talk to me damnit!"
Sakura started to get irritated by his behavior. Sasuke let out a deep sigh then looked at her once again.
" Sakura, I'm going to the dance with Ino." Sasuke said and noticed Sakura's facial expression turned to shock then a moment later a little relaxed.
" Oh I see." Sakura said as she turned away from his gaze.
" Listen Sakura we'll talk more about it after school." Sasuke said.
" Okay then... I guess we can go talk at my apartment before I need to pick up Maynard."
Sakura said then the school bell rang and everyone took their seats. Sakura couldn't help but feel uneasy about the situation but she wouldn't let it bother her until they talked about it.
The end of school finally came and Sasuke met up with Sakura at her apartment. They hadn't spoken with each other since the beginning of their art class and the rest of the day Sakura couldn't help but think about the situation. Sakura opened up her door and walked into the apartment with Sasuke following behind her. He closed the door and walked over and took a seat next to Sakura on the couch.
" Okay... so let's continue our conversation from earlier where you told me you are going to take Ino to the dance."
Sakura spoke as she became a little nervous of where this was leading too but Sasuke didn't take notice.
" Alright well me and Naruto have made a deal. He really wants me to take Ino to the dance and I know if I continue to say no, he won't stop bugging me about it and Ino will act like a total bitch to everyone." Sasuke said.
" Alright... what did you mean earlier when you said that Naruto was going to leave me alone."
" The deal is if I take Ino to the dance, Naruto is going to leave you alone for now on." Sasuke said.
" So are you going to end things with me then?" Sakura asked.
" W-What? No Sakura! Why on Earth would you think that?"
" Well, you told me you were going to the dance with Ino and you had been acting weird ever since this morning."
Sakura said then felt Sasuke put his arms around her waist and began to lay down on the couch, taking her with him so she was now laying on his chest.
" No I just felt guilty taking her to the dance when I really want to take you." Sasuke said as he began to stroke her back.
" I know but I'm not even going so you should try and enjoy yourself."
Sakura said as she leaned up to his face and began to kiss him. Sasuke began to kiss her back then all of the sudden, an idea struck to his head and pulled her back.
" What's wrong?" Sakura asked the male beneath him.
" You are going to the dance too." Sasuke stated.
" Um... no thank you. I will probably be working and I would need someone to watch over Maynard. Besides, dances aren't my thing." Sakura said.
" Have you ever been to a dance?" Sasuke raised an eyebrow at her.
" No... well have you mr. popular?"
" Actually no... I almost went one time with this girl. I had the biggest crush on her back at my old school. She asked me to one of those dances out of the blue but I thought she really liked me so I said yes and up until the dance she was my the night of the dance, I went to go pick her up and when I did, she had some other guy there she was going to go instead and she laughed at me saying that asking me out was a dare by her friends and she broke up with me. So I didn't go that night after I got my hear broken and I didn't talk to her again. Whenever I passed her and her friends in the hallways, they would make fun of me." Sasuke said.
" Sasuke, I guess we both have our own heartbreaks." Sakura said as she leaned back into his chest.
" Yeah... I guess so." Sasuke said.
" I'm sorry what happened to you but I'm still not going."
" You have to. Come on it will be our first dance."
" Yeah our first dance with you being with some other girl." Sakura began to giggle.
" Whatever, I'm going to think up of a plan to make you go."
Sasuke said as he then grabbed her face and began to kiss her. Sakura closed her eyes and began to kiss him back with her arms on each side of his head to hold herself up. He then lick her bottom lip for entrance and opened her mouth so he could enter. He placed his hands around her waist and began to move them underneath her shirt so he could touch her skin on her back. They lasted like this for a few minutes then pulled apart and Sakura moved to sit next to him.
" If that was your way of getting me to show up to the dance you have to do a lot more than kissing me lips." Sakura smiled at the male.
" Well then if we didn't have to go pick up your son, then I'm sure I could convince your some more and kissing parts of you besides your lips."
Sasuke said seductively into her ear and began to nibble on her earlobe, causing her to blush and got up from the couch.
" Come on, Maynard will not be happy if we arrive late."
Sakura said and watched Sasuke get up from the couch and walked with her out of the apartment. On the way to Sasuke's car, Sakura's phone started to ring and took it out to see who was calling.
" Who is it?" Sasuke asked as he unlocked the car doors and the both got into the car.
" I don't know." Sakura said and answered the phone.
" Hello?" Sakura answered the phone as Sasuke started the car but didn't start to drive just yet.
" This is she." Sakura said.
" I'm fine..."
" Wait what?"
" Can I call you back?"
Click
Sasuke looked over to see Sakura with an emotionless face as she lower but her phone to her lap.
" Sakura... who was that on the phone?" Sasuke asked as he reached over and took a hold of one of her small hands.
" My...my father died."
