Chapter 3 – A sexuality change?

I grinned upon the person who was my rival. Seemingly, my god had come. It didn't feel like Sasuke was a competent rival but a mere friend that was always there. His smile seems to grace upon my soul as if god really had come. He reached his hand out and helped me to my feet. I touched it and I was then driven by the warmth of Sasuke. It felt like I could snuggle in his arms like the split fascination of the day I bumped into him. The thought was weird as I have never thought of anything for a male before but at the same time, it felt normal like nothing was different in the world or as if it was nature to be in Sasuke's arms. After the brief moment, he walked away to class, leaving me alone in the hallway but with a hopeful smile that I received from the friend who I never knew was there. Snapping back to reality, I realized I was 10minutes late and ran toward my classroom, people starring as I walked to my seat. The teacher gave me a glare and she continued with the boring lecture as I thought of what happened today. I started daydreaming and doodling on my page as a shadow stood over me.

"Naruto!" The teacher's eyes stood frighteningly above me, "May you just repeat what I just said right now?"

She left me in a daze and speechless. As I tried to think, which was utterly impossible, she took the piece of paper that I had out. Expecting notes from the sheet of paper, her eyes seem to turn to flames. However, she smiled a while later, a cruel smile that seemed to stare through your soul.

"Naruto, may you explain what this drawing is and how it relates to our topic. Debating is a large issue in the English course and a large topic within the debating course or debating in general is homosexuality. This drawing, I guess you can say that it can represent your opinion in homosexuality. Do you not agree?"

She handed me the paper and I saw that when I had been daydreaming, I had drawn Sasuke on the piece of paper…with hearts around it. I turned beat red and sunk in my seat as the class laughed, embarrassment flowing into my ears.

"Now, now class. Leave Naruto's sexuality alone. I'm sure he will still fit in." She glared into my eyes. She had taken revenge on me. I knew I slacked off a lot and I was almost failing the course but it all seemed a bit too harsh. I stayed quiet most of the block and ran home right after school, in case the rumor spreads like a forest fire and I couldn't stand the embarrassment from the whole school.

When I arrived home, I threw my wet self on the couch and I thought about the worst day of my life. Getting beaten up and embarrassed because of my sexuality was way too much. I hadn't known I was in love with Sasuke. I thought about how he would hate me and how he would laugh with his other popular friends; how Sakura would ignore me, not that I would really care. Then, a knock came onto my door. I didn't want to get it since it could be people from my school who came to make fun of me. It came again and I slowly moved toward it, turned the doorknob slowly and pulling the door toward me, revealing the black-haired boy, soaked to the knees. He smiled as I opened the door.

"Want to let me in?"

I nodded and he came in and sat on my couch, dripping with water. I sat beside him and wondered if he was going to make fun of me.

"I heard what happened in your English class. Rumors does spread fast don't you think?" Sasuke smiled but it wasn't a cruel smile. It was a nice smile as if he was there to comfort me.

I didn't say a word. I just sat there, repeating the words what Sasuke had said as if I didn't understand what he was saying.

"Hey, don't feel so down, I'm not here to make fun of you. Relax." He grinned one more time, making me grin along with him.

"So, why'd you come?"

"Hmm…I'm not really sure…" Sasuke said innocently.

Sasuke moved his hand closer toward me. I hesitated, thinking that something was wrong. He scotched closer and with his right hand, he cupped it toward the back of my hand and leaned forward, placing his soft lips onto mine. He held it for a few seconds then released. I just sat there, surprised to the point where movement was not needed. It was like a dream coming true. The lips sent a warm sensation into my body. I was planning on making my move this time but he got up and walked out the door with a cute, lovely smile.
