Chapter 25: Threats and Promises

Sakura's POV

In the morning, I wake up and immediately turn my phone on, hoping to get a text from Sasuke. I get butterflies in my stomach just wondering if he might be thinking about me when he woke up this morning.

A text pops up on the screen. It's from Sasuke. I can;t help but grin widely when I read his perfectly thought-out message.

Sasuke: Hey

The message was sent twenty minutes ago. I quickly type the only appropriate response and press send.

Me: Hey

I rush to the bathroom, but bring my phone with me just in case he texts me back. While I'm brushing my teeth, I hear the chime on my phone. Another text. I hurry to finish brushing, then pick up my phone.

Sasuke: u ok?

Me: bout what?

Sasuke: Us. Me.

Me: yeah. Why?

Sasuke: just checking.

At school, Sasuke and I sit on the floor in front of my locker before the bell rings.

I sigh in exasperation.

"I didnt do my math homework last night," I tell him as I pull out the sheet Mr. Wason gave our class. "After I got home I couldn't concentrate. I hardly understand it anyway. My brain doesn't compute calculus. I don't even know why we have to learn it. It's not like I'm going to use it in real life."

"Depends on what you do for a livin'." Sasuke slides the sheet onto his lap and studies it. "Come on, we have twenty minutes before the bell rings. I'll help you finish it."

I try hard to focus on anything else but him. I move my hand over his and draw invisible circles on the back of his hand with my fingers.

"You're distracting me." He says.

"I know."

He chuckles, then pulls his hand away. "Don't you want credit for the homework?"

I kiss him. "Yeah, but I'd rather just hang out with you."

"I don't want my girlfriend flunking math and having to take it over in summer school." He taps the paper with his pen. "Focus."

"Okay, okay" I put my pencil on the paper, ready to work. "I'm focused."

We work until there's ten minutes before the bell rings. All I know is that Sasuke has the patience of a saint. He was able to explain stuff to me at my level, instead of Mr. Wason's way which is way too confusing.

"Thanks," I say as I slip the sheet into my folder.

"Sit with me at lunch today," he says.

"With your friends?"

"Yeah." he laces his fingers through mine.

"Uhh, I don't really get along with them. They hate me."

"It'll be fine, I promise."

He kisses me, and turns around to walk away, but I grab his arm. "Wait." I call. He turns back around and look at me.

"Yeah?"

I bit my bottom lip. "Uhh, I just, you know, need to say something before I leave. I don't want to be worrying about it all day."

"Hit me with it."

"I won't have sex with you." I blurt out.

I swear I see his face grow hot, I probably hurt his precious libido. His eye twitches. "Like ever?"

I shrug. "I just don't want our relationship to be about sex and nothing else," I say. "Id we remove the sex expectation right now, it'll be better."

"I don't want us to be all about sex either, Sak, but I got to be honest. . . I was hoping it'd be part of it at some point."

I glance to my left and right hoping that noone is listening, "I just can't. Too many complications, you know?"

"No, I dont know. Do I even want to know? Shit, is this Kiba, or is this all about me?" He asks. I wasn't really expecting that so I don't know how to take it. He probably sees the hurt on my face because he sighs and take my by the waist.

"I'll understand if the no sex thing is a deal breaker for you," I say. He shakes his head and laughs.

"I'm not gonna lie, just lookin' at you, sak, makes me horny, but it's more than that. I like you. A lot. Enough to want to call you my girlfriend. I like just sitting with you and talking. The rest will come when you're ready, kay?" He says. Awww, that's so sweet! I just wanna take him and kiss him right here!

I smile, and nod. He sighs. "Alright, i'm cool with the no sex rule, but, uhh, can we keep the option open to talk about in the future? You know, just in case you change your mind."

I shrug. "yeah." I reach up and give him a big kiss on the lips. "But don't hole your breath that I will. We can do other things, though."

I can tell he's interested. He raises and eyebrow. "Like what?"

"I'll show you later." I whisper against his lips and then go right back to making out with him. Hinata and Naruto come walking down the hallway. "I guess you two worked things out last night, huh?" Hinata says.

I squeeze Sasuke's hand. "Yep."

Sasuke and I part when the bell rings. I know I'm not going to see him until lunch, because for some reason, even though we're in all of the same classes, we never see eachother. But I do see Kiba. He's in my gym class. I usually ignore him and he ignores me.

Today I'm not so lucky.

"So you've finally found another guy to obsess over? Kiba asks as we run around the track surrounding the football field. I run faster, but he keeps up with me. Mr. Gai-Sensei, our gym teacher, is holding a stopwatch. "Keep up the good pace," he calls out as we pass him.

"This thing with you and Sasuke won't last, you know." Kiba says. He stops talking as a couple of runners pass us. "When he dumps you, are you gonna make him feel like dirt and turn everyone from the north side against him, like you did me?"

I didn't turn anyone against Kiba. We broke up the same time he joined the Sharingan. Coming to school with gang tattoos didn't really help his popularity with the people I hang out with. I know almost everyone on the north side ignored Kiba after we broke up. I just don't think it had anything to do with the breakup and everything to do with him flaunting his gang affiliation.

I keep running, ignoring every word that comes out Kiba's mouth. I wish I had headphones in my ears to block him out completely.

"If you tell Sasuke what I said, I'll pass around that naked picture I took of you on my cell." He leans in close. "When I told you I deleted it, I lied."

Tears threaten to sting my eyes, but I hold them back. When gym is over, I rush to the locker and pray that Kiba was bluffing.

At lunch, I spot Sasuke in the hall just as we're entering the cafeteria. "Hey." he says.

"Hey. I'm eating lunch in the library today," I tell him. "I've got to study, and I can't do it when everyone is around. I'll see you in chemistry, okay?" I need to get away from Kiba and his threats.

He starts to follow me. "I'll go with you to the library."

"No." I say a little to fast. He looks at me, with a raised eyebrow, I laugh nervously. "Uhh, you're the biggest distraction for me right now. I need to focus."

"Seriously?" he asks, unconvinced.

"Seriously." I kiss him, loving the feeling of his lips on mine. We part and I start heading off to the library, thinking if about Kiba and his stupid threats. What is he does show the picture anyway? What will Sasuke think of me then?
