A/N: Hi! Chapter two is finally here! Thank you very much for the reviews… I will reply them if I had time… I hope you enjoy this one like how you enjoyed Chapter one! Hey, to tell all of you the truth, this is not YAOI… I chose Naruto and Sasuke in the characters 1 and 2 not because this is Sasunaru YAOI… but because they are the main characters. Even though… there's some Narusaku parts here… eew… jokes! Don't worry; there will be a Naruhina and Sasusaku part here too.
Anyway, for those who did NOT understand Naruto's message… (Don't read this if you understand)
OK, I will axept it. I no dat Sakura-chan is nut a min gurl like that her fwend & oh-so-famous cheerleader Ino. Wen I spok to hur, she don't even luk at me! She just tink that popularity is evrything, Sasuke. I'm gld that even tho ur popular, your still nice Sasuke
…here's the correct translation (Jeez, you must really have a cellphone to understand Naruto's message to Sasuke! Just kidding! Hehe…)
Okay, I will accept it. I know that Sakura-chan is not a mean girl like her friend and oh-so famous cheerleader Ino. When I spoke to her, she doesn't even look at me! She just think that popularity is everything, Sasuke. I'm glad that even though your popular, you're still nice Sasuke .
OOPS! I edited Chapter 1 because actually, the day was Sunday, and it's March 5!
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Naruto…
The Right Decision
Chapter two: Chat Room
Naruto and Sakura are still walking, still waiting when they will reach the tea restaurant, which was not that far from the outskirts.
Sakura's heart beats faster, knowing it was her first time to dance with a guy, and she was not yet sure who would be her partner. Feeling curious, she spoke. "Naruto, why did you want to talk with m-me? Are you going to invite me to the prom?" Sakura asked.
Naruto stretches his arms. He sighed and faced towards Sakura. "It's because I want to talk you about my best friend… he still don't have a partner and I think you're the perfect one for him." Naruto said. He remembers what Sasuke texted him a while ago, and he must do this for his best friend, not for himself. Naruto was not really a selfish person unlike some who dumps his friends just because of a girl. Oh come on! Friendship is not like that…
"Your best friend? Who is he?" Sakura asked.
Naruto chuckled. "You'll know it soon… I believe you know him already." Naruto replied
Sakura sighed. 'I wonder who he was…' She thought.
After a few minutes of walking, they finally reached Cha, the most famous tea restaurant on Konoha. The price is not really that expensive… unlike some.
Sakura smiled and giggles. She faced towards Naruto and held his hand, but again, Naruto released it. "Huh?" She asked.
"I said… don't touch me, okay? We're just friends… not lovers." Naruto said.
Sakura sighed and walked inside, without holding Naruto's hand. The long black-haired waitress bows and accompanied them on their seat. They faced each other, which made Sakura's face turn red. The waitress giggles. "Hey, are you on a date?" She asked.
Suddenly, Sakura blushes again and looked straightly to Naruto.
Naruto hissed. "No. I'm just her friend. Her 'boyfriend' was not me, okay?" He said as he feels a little annoyed.
Sakura sighed again. 'Why is he acting so different now…? Unlike when we met on Grade three.' She thought, misunderstanding everything.
"We'll be having 2 cups of regular tea." Naruto told the waitress.
The waitress wrote their orders and nodded her head. "Okay, that will be 500 ryo then." She said as she walks away from them. Naruto grabs his frog-shaped wallet and gave the waitress a 500 ryo bill.
Naruto takes a deep breath and faced towards Sakura. "Hey, Sakura-chan… what… do you think about… Sasuke?" He asked her.
Sakura's heart beats faster as she remembers the very handsome Sasuke. Oh, especially those irresistible eyes and face… "Anou… Sasuke-kun is a nice seatmate, but it seems that he doesn't spend time with me. He's always with you… and if I ask him for lunch he kindly disagree and go with you instead. I love him… but it's a mystery if he loves me back." She said.
Naruto sighed. "No, Sakura-chan. He cares about you. He's just can't go with you but he was really busy. You know he was an honor student like you, right? Of course he really needs to focus on his studies. He always talks about you when we meet on lunch. He's just shy to spend time with you. He's not used on relationships with females." Naruto said.
'Yes! She loves him back! I knew it was not just one-sided love!' He thought.
Sakura smiles happily. "Is it true? Really? But he didn't ask me for the prom yet…" Sakura said.
The waitress came and handed them their tea. Naruto drank some and Sakura did too.
Naruto chuckles happily as he stopped drinking for a while. "Maybe sometime he would… but I don't really know… he's too busy on his studies!" he said.
Sakura smiles happily and claps her hands. "Yay! Thank you very much, Naruto!" She said.
Naruto stands up. "So… I have to go now. I still need to eat lunch, you know." Naruto said, waving his hand goodbye to her.
She smiled. "Okay! I have to go too… My mother's waiting." She said.
Then both of them left the restaurant, both happy. Naruto grabs his cellphone and texts Sasuke:
Hai! Sakura-chan tinks u r bery nice and she lyks u… I hope u will ask hur 2 da prom sun. She's Xcited.
He sends it happily to Sasuke as he walks back to his apartment.
Meanwhile, at Sasuke's house…
As Sasuke was reading his favorite book of Physics, he finally hears a beeping sound from his cellphone and grabs it from his pocket.
He smiled as he saw the "1 Message Received" on his cellphone screen.
He reads the message happily, which made him jump with joy. "Yes… I knew it. I have been very pleasant to Sakura in class, maybe that's why she likes me… but I hope someone didn't ask her to the prom yet… or else I'll be dead!" He said, as he replies Naruto's Message:
Thank you very much, Naruto. I hope she'll agree to come with me:-)
He sends it happily, and started to read his Physics book again. Jeez… He was such a bookworm! Hehehe… Oh, being an honor student is pretty hard.
Naruto walks around the village once again, looking for the grocery store for his ingredients for lunch. He saw the grocery store and ran towards it, as he knew he was really in a hurry. His stomach grumbled, which made him sweat drop.
Suddenly, He saw a girl with long, blue hair on the meat section. He knew it was her, Hyuuga Hinata. She was wearing a sleeveless white shirt with a flower printed on it, and a dark blue skirt that is just 2 inches below the knee. She was wearing blue sandals too.
Naruto breathes deeply. "HINATA!" He shouted loudly as he tries to call her name.
Hinata gasps as she knew it was Naruto's voice. Her face turns really red and looked towards Naruto shyly. "N-Naruto-kun…" She said softly.
Naruto looked on her light-colored eyes and waved his hand happily. "Hello!" He greeted her as he ran towards the shy Hinata.
Hinata shyly waves her hand. "Hi…" She said shyly.
Naruto scratches his head childishly. "Yo, Hinata… Hehehe… Can I be your partner on the prom?" Naruto asked confidently. Yeah, Naruto is not really as shy as Hinata. He is always very energetic and confident.
Hinata gasps softly and her face turns redder. "Anou… O-Okay, I… will go… with… you, N-N-Naruto-kun…" Hinata replied shyly.
Naruto smiles happily and jumps with joy. "YAY! I finally have a partner!" Naruto cheered happily. Then he hugs Hinata happily, which made her blush again.
Meanwhile, at Sasuke's house…
Sasuke opened the computer happily, suddenly remembering his "friend" in the chat room, HappyGirl23. 'Maybe I'll tell her about my problem. She might help me, but… I wonder who she was… she told me she's studying on Konoha High too, but never mentioned her name.' He thought.
He opens the chat room on the internet, and types HappyGirl23 on the Receiver text box. Then he types:
Hey, how are you doing now. You know about the prom, right? I have decided my partner, but I still can't have the courage to ask her. She was Haruno Sakura, from 4A. She's my classmate. How about you? Did anyone asked you already?
He slicks the "SEND" button below and breathes deeply. Will that girl feel jealous? Or is she Yamanaka Ino who will spread it around the school? His username was SilentandMysterious723, pretty long, but very… mysterious.
At Sakura's house…
Sakura gasps as she saw a message on the chat room. It was him, SilentandMysterious723… her "friend" on the internet. She read his message and gasps. "Oh no! He wants to… ask me to the prom! But who on earth is he? He's my classmate, but I still don't know who he is…" She whispered. She clicks the reply button and types on the message box:
I'm Okay. Nobody is inviting me yet… but can you tell me what your real name is? I'm also from 4A and to tell you the truth… I'm Haruno Sakura.
She clicks the "SEND" button and her heart beats faster. She crossed her fingers. 'Please… reply… I still have to go out for grocery… please…' She thought.
Back to Sasuke's house, Sasuke saw the reply. His heart beats faster and his face turns red. 'No it can't be her! She's… S-Sakura!' He thought.
Feeling nervous, he clicks the reply button and types:
I'm sorry, I… can't tell you yet. I can't believe you were "her" and you'll just know my name if we meet really soon.
He sends it anxiously, and cancels the chat room. He shuts down the computer and sighed. 'I hope she will not know I'm SilentandMysterious723 or else…' he thought.
Sakura cheered with joy as she saw the reply. "Yes! My wish has come true." She squealed.
But then, she read the reply, and sweat drops fell down from her face. "Oh Fine! Never mind! I'll just go out and get the groceries!" She said, grabbing the shopping list on the table.
She walked out of the house and wraps her arms around her own body. 'I wonder who he was… It's not fair! Now he knows that I'm that girl, but how would I know who he is!' She thought sadly.
Sasuke stood by the window as he looks at the cherry blossom tree at the backyard of his house. He planted that when he was still younger, during his science project about trees.
Suddenly, he remembers Sakura. His face turns red and his heart beats faster. 'Oh no… How I wish I had the confidence to ask her to the prom now!' He thought.
He sighed and walked towards the main door. 'Maybe a little fresh air will calm me down…' He thought, as he walks away from the house.
Suddenly, he saw a pink-haired girl walking around the street. His face turns red as he knew it was Sakura. His heart started to beat faster, and sweats are surrounding his face. 'Oh no! It's Sakura. Damn it, why am I feeling this? Why are emotions difficult to understand!' He thought.
He walked towards her and waved his hand. "Um… Hi, Sakura." Sasuke said.
Sakura faced towards him and wraps her arms gently around Sasuke's body. "Sasuke-kun…" Her face was really red and Sasuke breathes deeply as his face turns redder.
"Can you… just take a walk with me? Even just for a few minutes, until we reach the grocery store." Sakura asked him.
Sasuke sighed and gently wraps his arms around Sakura. His heart beats really fast that sweats can't stop falling from his face. "Um… Okay. So you're doing the groceries." He replied shyly, as he releases Sakura from his arms.
Sakura giggled and tears of joy started to come out from her eyes. "Arigatou, Sasuke-kun. We still have school tomorrow, and the prom is coming really soon." Sakura said as she holds Sasuke's hand gently. Unlike Naruto, Sasuke didn't release his hands but just breathes deeply because of anxiety.
The two walked together, both faces are really red, and people can't stop giving them suspicious stares. Sasuke's heart beats faster that he can't even speak. Sakura gasps as she saw Sasuke's sweaty face, which was blushing really hard.
"Hoi, Daijobu desuka, Sasuke-kun?" Sakura asked as she gently touches Sasuke's sweaty face.
Sasuke shakes his head and holds Sakura's hand gently. "I'm… o-okay… S-S-Sa-kura… It's just… very warm, right?" Sasuke replied bashfully.
Sakura raises an eyebrow and looked around the cherry blossoms surrounding them. "No, it's just spring. And it's not really warm. Maybe it was just your hormones or your emotions." Sakura said.
Sasuke scratches his head and laughs a bit. "Yeah, probably." He said with his low voice.
Sakura sighs and stops walking. Sasuke stopped too and looked towards her with concern. "What's wrong? Why did you stop…?" Sasuke asked.
"I found out that my 'friend' SilentandMysterious723 in the chat room is going to invite me to the prom… but who is he? It's just… unfair. He knew that I am that girl he wants, but he didn't tell me what his name is." Sakura explained.
Sasuke gasped and his face turns redder. 'Oh no… how can I tell her that I AM that guy!' He thought. Sasuke smiles and holds Sakura's shoulder gently. "M-Maybe… he just want… to s-surprise y-y-you, Sakura." He said shyly.
Sakura giggles. "Tee Hee… Thank you very much, Sasuke-kun. You made me so happy. But I wonder who he is…" She said happily. 'Probably that was Naruto… he's also my classmate. It can't be possibly Sasuke-kun. Besides, Sasuke-kun can't be chatting on the internet now because he's such a shy person.' Sakura thought.
Sasuke showed her his most handsome smile. His face turns redder and his heart beats faster once again. "I wish… you… … … g-good… luck… Sakura." He said very shyly.
Sakura giggles childishly. Suddenly, Sasuke strokes Sakura's long, pink hair with his bare hands and pressed his lips against her forehead. Sakura gasps and her face turns really red.
Sasuke gasped. "I'm so sorry! I… didn't mean that!" He said bashfully, as his face turns really, really red, like a tomato! He knew that he KISSED her, right on her forehead… jeez; he should just have kissed her lips instead!
"It's okay. I… have to go to the grocery store now." Sakura said shyly as she walks away from him.
Sasuke sighed and quickly ran towards her. "If you want, I will… h-help you… with the groceries, Sakura." He said.
Sakura nodded her head and holds his hand. "Okay! That will be nice, Sasuke-kun!" She replied.
The two walked away from that place, as they head towards the grocery store.
About 30 minutes later, at Naruto's apartment room…
Naruto was sitting on the dining table while eating his favorite food, Ramen. He heard the beeping sound from his cellphone, and he quickly grabs it from his pocket.
As usual it was Sasuke, and he texted:
I'm so happy today, Naruto. Sakura and I have met today, and we went to the grocery together. Sounds cheesy for some, but I really liked it. I hope you found your partner for the prom now! Anyway, tomorrow is Monday so we'll meet at lunch on the library!
PS: I KISSED Sakura on her forehead. It's so embarrassing, but it's a good thing that nobody saw it! See you tomorrow, bye!
Naruto chuckles happily as he reads the message. Suddenly, Naru-devil appeared once again. "YUUUUCKKK! SASUKE KISSED SAKURA! How could he do that? He's such a NERD! Eew… I hate kisses… you must kill him right now, Naruto! RIGHT NOW!" Naru-devil said.
Naru-angel appeared, while giggling and playing his harp. "Don't follow Naru-devil. He's just like that when he saw or heard about love." Naru-devil told Naruto.
Naruto smiled, and nodded to Naru-angel. Naru-devil frowned and disappears with a "POOF!". Naru-angel went away too.
Naruto laughs like a hyena and walked towards the common room, and turns on the Television. As usual, it's the weatherwoman Mitarashi Anko on Konohagakure NEWS, pointing towards a computerized map of Konoha and the sun surrounding it.
"Tomorrow will be a beautiful spring day! It's time for class and work once again, and it will be a beautiful sunny day. Temperature range will be 20 degrees Celsius up to 25 degrees Celsius. The sun will rise at 5:30 am and it will set at 6:30 pm." She said.
Naruto sighed and grabs his plain, orange-colored diary. He saw a note written on tomorrow's date, March 6 saying:
5:00- wake up and go to school early!
Lunch time (12:00 NN)- eat lunch then meet Sasuke at the Library!
4 days before the prom, 7 days Before Final Exams, 10 days before Grad. Rehearsal and 19 days before HS Graduation!
He chuckles. "As usual, my Monday schedule never changes, but Sasuke will teach me more! Poor guy; He owes me a lot!" He said.
This day has been a very wonderful day for Naruto and Sasuke… even for Hinata and Sakura, but will Sasuke really ask Sakura to the prom? Or will he not come again? And will Sakura understand that Sasuke was her "friend" on the chat room? There's still a lot of questions that need answers…
TO BE CONTINUED…
A/N: Sigh… this chapter is not as long as the first chapter. Well, it's okay! If you don't understand Naruto's text messages, please submit a signed review or submit an anonymous review with your e-mail address. I'll be happy to translate it to you, but please learn to read this text messages! It's the new language for e-mails, but never for fanfictions! Hehehe… I hope you enjoyed Chapter 2 and please review… I promise to update as son as I can! Aywayz, Sasuke is totally OOc, right? Hehehe... I know that kiss-on-the-forehead thing is so cheesy and that's too fast! Sasuke is just lost in his own thoughts... hehehe...
Anyway, if you don't understand Japanese… (Don't read this if you don't like)
Hoi- it means the same as "Hey!" in english.
Daijobu Desuka?- My classmate told me that this means "Are you alright?", "Are you okay?", or "How are you" in English.
Arigatou- it means "Thank you" and one of the easiest words in Japanese to understand…
