The alarm clock sounded, "WAKE UP, WAKE UP! IT'S 5:30AM! TIME TO GO TO WORK, WORK, WORK! TIME TO EAT BREAKFAST, BREAKFAST, BREAKFAST!"
Sasuke reached for the clock and turned it off, "…Skating? Why did I dream of that? Have I skated before? I don't remember… That girl is always in my dreams. What is the meaning of this? I don't understand… I've got to get ready for work." He stood up from the bed. This would have to wait until later.
Chapter 7- Boys hang out!
Sasuke got off from work early since he had asked Kakashi for permission if he could leave early. Kakashi said he could leave. Sasuke walked out from the hospital. He couldn't stop thinking about the kiss that he got from Sakura. It's not that he didn't like it. It just that he… he had never received a kiss before. He doesn't know what to feel or what to think.
Sasuke sighed, "God…Why can't I stop thinking about the kiss?"
"Oy Sasuke!" Sasuke heard his name calling; he turned around and saw Naruto waving at him. Not only Naruto was there, there was also Shikamaru, and Neji stood there as well.
Sasuke walked over there, "Hey Naruto, Shikamaru, and Neji, what's up? Why are you guys here? I thought you guys were at work."
"Well, that's true, but today, it's my day off. I was bored and had nothing else to do. So, I thought that I should go out and do something. When I went walking, I met Shikamaru at the park where he was staring up at the clouds. So, we walked together. After that, Neji saw us from his limo and he decided to hang out with us. " Naruto explained to him.
"Really? Shikamaru, I thought you were at work today. Don't tell me that you had a day off?" Sasuke stared at the lazy man.
"No, I didn't have day off…It just happened that I didn't go to work today." Shikamaru said.
"Eh? Why is that? Don't tell me you're sick because you don't look like one."
Shikamaru sighed, "Nope, it's none of that…I just don't feel like going to work today…Also, it's too troublesome for me to work."
"I see. What about you, Neji?" Sasuke turned to face at white eyes guy.
"Well, I thought I should hang out with my friends and thought that I could take some time off from work since I don't get much breaks anyway. So, here I am. What about you, Sasuke?" Neji asked.
"I've got out from work early and was about to head home."
Naruto said, "I see. Say, Sasuke, wanna go grab something to drink? We were about to go drink at the bar. Wanna come?"
"Sure, why not? I could use a drink." Sasuke smiled.
"Great! Let's go drink at the bar." Naruto placed his right hand on Sasuke's shoulder.
They went to drink at the bar.
- Bar-
Naruto, Shikamaru, and Neji were having a chat, but Sasuke was silent, still thinking about Sakura. They stopped talking, staring at Sasuke who seemed like he was daydreaming.
"Huh? What?" Naruto snapped his fingers in front of Sasuke's face.
"Hey Sasuke, what's the matter? You sure were quiet the whole time. Is something wrong?" Naruto looked at his friend raven haired boy.
"Um… Nothings wrong." Sasuke was staring at his drink.
"Aw come on, Sasuke! There's something wrong. Even I could tell from your expression!"
"No, no… Really nothing."
"Don't give us that. If you don't tell us, it's going to even more troublesome." Shikamaru placed his right hand against his cheek, looking at him lazily.
"Yeah, that's right! If you don't tell us, I'll tell them about the most embarrassing thing what you did when you were a little." Naruto gave him evil looks.
Sasuke looked at blonde boy, "You wouldn't dare…?"
"Oh how do you know? You might never know? I might tell them." He chuckled.
Sasuke deadpanned, "…Oh all right. I'll tell you everything what happened last night."
"Right, now let's hear it, Uchiha." Neji said.
An hour past…
"So, let me get this straight. After the date, you and Sakura kissed?" Shikamaru said lazily.
The raven haired boy nodded slowly.
"Well, how do you like that? Young Uchiha got kissed by a girl. Must be wonderful right?" Neji placed his right hand on his cheek as he stared at him.
"Um…Hai…"
"Oh my god, it looks like my best friend is in love with her!" Naruto patted Sasuke's back as he shouted out loud.
Sasuke went really bright red, "...Naruto, you don't need to say that out loud!"
"I can't help myself! I never thought you would be thinking of that cute girl! Well at least, you had already been kissed by bunch girls that you dated before so you're experienced!" He snickered.
Sasuke didn't reply back.
"You have, right?" Naruto looked at him.
Sasuke looked away from him, blushing.
Naruto's jaw dropped, "Oh my god, don't tell me that was your first kiss!"
He didn't answer back.
"Oh crap, I can't believe it! How you could not got kiss by many girls? What were you doing the whole time? Don't tell me you never dated before?"
"Hey, I was too busy at work and never have time for a date, all right?"
"Man, you should go out more often. Now it's time to go out and ask that girl for another date."
"Well…Maybe…" Sasuke looked down.
Naruto slammed the counter table which make Sasuke jumped a little as he was surprising, "Maybe! No maybe, you have to! If you really like that girl, then you should do it!"
"Naruto, I've barely known this girl for a week,"
"It doesn't matter! As long as you keep on going out on dates; you'll get to know her better and she'll get to know you better! That way, you guys can have more conversations and become good friends or maybe become a couple like us!"
Shikamaru and Neji nodded many times as they agreed with what Naruto said.
"Well, I guess I can do that."
"Good, good! That's more like it!" The blonde boy pats his shoulder, "Haha, I can't believe that was your first kiss. Took you long enough my man!"
"Naruto, what's wrong with getting your first kiss so late?" Shikamaru asked him.
"Nothing, I just thought it was funny."
"I don't find it funny. I think there is nothing wrong with getting a kiss this late," Neji lifted his sunglasses up.
"That's true. Well at least, you got didn't end up like him. I'm sure you kissed by bunch of girls before you met your girlfriend."
"…In fact, Tenten is the only girl I've ever been kissed, Naruto."
"Nani! You must kidding, Neji! Are you serious?"
"I'm serious. Tenten is my first girl, the first I've ever loved. We had known each other since we were little. She was the only one I feel comfortable enough around to hang out and talk to."
"Then tell us, how you fell in love with her?"
"…I don't want to…" Neji looked away.
"Looks like Neji is too chicken to tell us." Naruto smirked evilly.
Neji glared at the blonde boy, "I'm not chicken."
"Then tell us, Neji if you're not too chicken to tell us."
"…Oh all right, I'll tell you. It was in Junior High School, Tenten and I had the same classes together. Our classes were going on camping trip and I guess lots of things happen when we got there."
-Flashback-
"Hey Neji-kun." Tenten called him.
Neji turned around and saw the brown haired girl. She tied her hair into buns both sides way. She wore a blue t-shirt that has a picture of skull and wore baggy pants, "Yeah, what's up, Tenten?"
"Did you bring bento to eat?"
"No, not really. I forgot to bring bento when I was in a hurry to catch the bus. So, I have nothing to eat." He shoved his hands inside his pockets.
"Then how would you like to eat with me? I have lots of bento to eat. Not unless you want to starve yourself or maybe you can go catch a lizard and eat that." She laughed herself.
"Very funny, Tenten."
"Hey, I was joking! Don't get so serious!" She punched his shoulder softly.
"Hai, Hai, I got that."
"So, are you going to?"
"Sure, why not. It's not like my friends would share some food with me even if they never do."
"Great, let's go eat." Tenten grabbed Neji's hand. They were sitting down on the floor, eating bento.
"Look at that girl." The first girl whispered to her two friends.
"Yeah, I know. Talking to Neji like that, thinking that Neji would fall for her. What's so great about her? Look at her, the way she's dressed. She's a tomboy. She doesn't look like a girl at all." The second girl said.
"I know, but Neji always hangs out with her. We always been a big fan of him, trying to get his attention to us, however that girl always in the way from us. God, it makes me want to punch her." The third girl said in angry tone.
"Tell me about it. We should do something about her."
"Like what?"
"We should get rid of her. Here's the plan." They gathered around and told them the plan.
Sunset…
"Thanks for the meals, Tenten. I owe you one." Neji thanked Tenten.
"You don't need to thank me…You already owe me a lot. I always bring bento everyday for lunch because you're always forgetting to bring your lunch everyday." Tenten crossed her arms.
"Yeah, I know that. I'm always too busy doing my homework and also in charge of the events in school. Being a school president is such a hassle... I never have time to make it myself."
"Hey, I got it! I know that. You don't need to tell me that again. I've heard it a billion times. That's why I have to make bento for you so that you don't stave yourself since you're my friend."
"Right, I know. But thanks anyway."
Tenten looked away, blushing, "Should I tell him now about my feelings? What if he'll say no? I mean, I'm sure he doesn't like girl like me that act like a guy or even talk like a girl… It's better for me tell him the truth because I really like him! I hope it doesn't change our friendship."
"Hey Neji-kun…"
"Yeah?"
"Um…I have something to tell you…"
"What is it?"
She took deep breath, "I…I…lik-" She was interpreted.
"Hey Hyuuga, weren't you going to help us putting up the tent?" The boy called him.
"Yeah, coming." Neji looked at her, "Sorry Tenten, I have to go now. You can tell me later. I'll talk to you later." He ran to his friends.
"Yeah, later." She waved at him, her head was dropped, "I was so close to tell him my feelings… Ahh, why does everyone have to disturb the moment that I was about to tell him the important part. Sigh, I guess I'll tell him next time." She sighed.
"Hey Tenten."
Tenten turned around and saw the three girls were standing there, "Hai?"
"Oh, we came here to tell you that sensei told us that you have to get some firewood for tonight." The girl said sweetly.
"Oh, okay. Thanks for telling me. I'll do that now." Tenten went to look for wood.
30 minutes past…
"I got enough wood. I think I should head back." Tenten began to walk to get back to others.
10 minutes past…
"This isn't the way…I know I've been here many times because I seen this tree before." She was staring at the tree.
"Don't tell me I'm lost…" She looked around, realizing that she's lost, "Oh no...Could it be this wa-Ahhhhh!" She tripped and she was rolling down the hill.
It stopped before she got hit by the tree. She sat up, "Ah, how stupid of me to get tripped like that. Well, I gotta walk back up." She stood up, but…
"Ahhh!" She fell back down. She looked at her ankle, it was bleeding, "Ah crap, I can't walk like this…" She ripped her shirt at the bottom and tied around her ankle to make it stopped bleeding, "…Oh god…why does it have to happen to me…?" She mumbled to herself.
-Back to Neji-
"Hey you guys, have you seen Tenten?" Neji asked his friends.
They shook their heads, "Where could she have gone?"
Then Neji looked at the three girls were giggling. Neji noticed something suspicion about them. He decided to check them out by hiding behind the tree and he listen.
"Oh my god, I can't believe that tomboy really fell for our trap." The first girl laughed.
"I know. She's so stupid. She really believes us that sensei would tell her to get the firewood and she really went." The second girl said.
"I bet she's lost in the wood and she's probably won't be alive to get out there. Tenten is really stupid. Now that she isn't here, we can have Neji to all ourselves." The third girl snickered.
"What did you do to Tenten?" Neji appeared behind them.
The girls jumped surprisingly and saw Neji's angry look, "Neji-kun! What a surprise to see you here."
"Don't give me that look! What the heck did you do to Tenten?" He repeated again.
"Well…Nothing. We didn't do anything. What makes that we do something bad to Tenten?" She said sweetly. Her friends nodded agreement.
"If you don't tell me where she is? I'll do something to make your worst nightmare." He said in serious tone.
The girls gulped and hug each other, they never seen Neji this angry before.
Meanwhile, Tenten…
"How am I going to get back?" Tenten said.
Suddenly, it started to rain, Tenten was getting wet. She crawled close to the tree; she was leaning against the tree, rubbing her arms to get herself warm, "Great…Why does it have to rain now? Oh Neji-kun…" She was thinking about Neji.
-Neji went searching Tenten-
"Tenten, where are you!" Neji was running around in the forest. He was searching for her everywhere even though it was raining.
"I'm not going to let this rain stop me until I find her. Tenten, please be okay."
He started searching for her again.
