The days passed, and Hana barely even saw Sasuke. When they did see each other, thingswere awkward and they would just nod to each other and go into theirbedrooms. Hana longed for it to be like before they kissed. Though atthe same time, she was determined to make him jealous and realize hecouldn't live without her.

Nari had helped herconduct a plan in her bedroom one night after practicing for theChunin exams. They would try to figure out which boys in the town hada crush on Hana (which turned out to be MANY) and then they wouldapproach whichever one Hana thought would make Sasuke super was growing increasingly nervous as the list grew smaller. Shewas tempted to ask out Kiba because he was really handsome, but shewasn't a fan of dogs and she knew that would be an issue for him.

As Hana started walkinghome one day, she heard Choji call her name. She turned on her heel,almost colliding with him. He panted as he stopped right in front ofher, clutching onto his trousers as he tried to regain his waited for him to speak akwardly.
"Hana – I wanted totalk to you about something" he said shyly, standing up and fixinghis posture.
"About what?" she asked, tilting her head to theside and blinking at him. He smiled a little, looking away fromher.
"I was hoping you would go get some food with me tomorrow."He was blushing heavily, and as soon as Hana noticed she knew thiswas her chance to make Sasuke jealous!

"Sure!" shechirped, feeling excited. So much so, she must have showed it,because Choji's blush depeend at her excitement and his eyessparkled. Hana was feeling kinda bad but she shrugged it off. She hadto do this, whether she liked it or not.

"Thank you! I-I'llpick you up at five" he said "would you like me to walk youhome?"

Even though she wasliterally only about a minute or two away from the apartment sheshared with Sasuke, she nodded. "Please."

Choji walked alongsideher. "I've wanted to ask you to food for a really long time" headmitted.
"Why didn't you?" she asked.
"Well, all theboys wanted to so I figured what chance did I have?"

Hana bit her bottomlip, shaking her head sadly. She felt so guilty, Choji seemed toreally be interested in dating her. More so than anyone else –including Sasuke.

"Well don't be silly"she said, smiling faintly but refusing to meet his gaze "I lovefood, after all."

He laughed "me too,if you didn't already guess."

He poked his giggled, giving his arm a playful smack. Just then, they arrivedoutside the apartment. Choji stopped outside, giving her a small hug.
"I'll see you tomorrow, then" he said "it's a date,remember?"
"I'll remember" she giggled, hugging him back.

"So I can totallytell the boys I'm going on a date with you?" he gasped. She raiseda brow.
"Sure."

He cheered, jumping upa little before he composed himself. "Bye, Hana."

"Bye, Choji" shelaughed, walking up the steps to her apartment. She was just about toopen the door when she heard someone clear their throat behind her.

She turned her head tosee Sasuke standing there.

"Oh. Hi" she saidto him, unlocking the door and stepping inside. He followed suit, thepair of them kicking off their shoes.

"Hi."

It wasn't long,literally, before Sasuke's curiosity got the better of him.
"Whywere you with Choji?" he asked.

"Oh" she saidcasually, walking into the living room. Sasuke closed the front doorbefore following her. "I have a date with him tomorrow so we werejust going over some last minute details."

"A what?" he asked,stopping in the doorway.

She turned to look athim before flopping down on the couch "a date."

Sasuke's face seemed tofall. It was already working. Though his words painted a differentpicture. Or at least they would – if Hana was an idiot.
"Hana"he said, groaning a little "is now really the time for this? TheChunin exams are coming up and you need to focus, he does as well."

"A girl can have fun"she said softly, relaxing on the couch "besides, Choji isadorable."

A low growl emitted hislips, but she pretended she didn't hear it.
"Oh, I need toinvite Nari over" she said "she needs to help me decide what towear."

"Can't you do thatyourself? She's annoying" Sasuke said, clearly annoyed.

"But girls always dothis stuff. Get used to it, Sasuke. I'm sure I'll be on many moredates in the future."

Sasuke watched herleave the room, his blood boiling with rage. Though his face waspoker, his mind was a mess and his heart was aching. What on earthwas Hana trying to do to him?

That's when it hit was going on the date with Choji because of what he had done toher. He had hurt her THAT badly? He had no idea she cared about himin that way THAT much.

He took a seat on thecouch, hearing Hana close the front door and go to fetch Nari.

"Why me" hemumbled, standing up quickly and watching her walk down the streettowards Nari's apartment. He had to get her back. Some how, some letting her know he knew her game. That's when the perfectplot entered his mind, and he knew it would definitely work.

When Hana returned withNari, Sasuke was eating noodles from a carton. He looked up, suckinga noodle up into his mouth and swallowing it before he stood.

"I need to talk toyou" he said sternly.
"About what? I'm busy picking outfitsfor my date."
"Yeah, she is!" Nari exclaimed happily "let'sgo, Hana." She tugged on Hana's arm but Sasuke pulled on the other,dragging Hana into the kitchen.
"I'll wait in your room" Narisighed, defeated. She walked into Hana's room and closed the door togive them privacy.

"What's wrong withyou?!" Hana exclaimed "I'm busy!"

"I..." Sasukewasn't so sure about his plan anymore. He didn't want to hurt Hana,but if she was willing to hurt him then...

"What's wrong?" sheasked, worry now evident on her face.

"I want to date Sumi"he announced.

Hana's heart sank. Didher plan not work?
"You- what you said earlier made me 's not just about exams, boys want to have fun too, right?" heasked. Hana nodded slowly.
"You're right. Absolutely."

"Okay then canyou...set us up?" he asked "for tomorrow night."

"How about we doubledate?" Hana asked, clapping her hands together "that'd be fun!"

Sasuke's eyes it not working? Was she not jealous, seriously?!

"Sure" he said,nodding. Fuck. He screwed up, right?

"Wonderful" shegiggled, poking his shoulder "look at you going on a date and allthat!"

Sasuke shook his head"it's nothing, go get your outfit sorted."

With that, Hana leftthe kitchen and entered her bedroom. She leaned against her bedroomdoor, shaking her head over and over. "No, no, no!"
"Whathappened?!" Nari exclaimed. Hana shushed her by pressing her fingerto her lips "quiet. He'll hear us freaking out."
"Whathappened?" Nari asked again in a whisper.

"Sasuke wants to goon a date with Sumi, so my stupid ass asked for it to be a doubledate!" Hana said, placing her head in her hands.

"Why the hell did youdo that?" Nari gasped, standing up.
"I don't know MY GOD I'MA FOOL!" Hana whisper-yelled.

"Don't worry, we'llfigure this out" Nari said. This was turning into a mess soquickly.

"We'll go ask Sumiafter we fix up your outfit and then we'll come up with a planafterwards."

Hana nodded, openingher wardrobe door. While Nari picked out an outfit for her, Hana saton the bed thinking about how she had royally screwed up her would really have to think to get herself out of this one, andeven then, there was no chance she would ever make Sasuke jealous. Hedidn't seem to want her at all.

Meanwhile, Sasuke satin the living room, head in his hands. He tapped his foot against thefloor, groaning every few seconds with frustration. That was easilythe most stupidest plan anyone had ever come up with in the historyof ever. He would really have to think to get himself out of thisone. Even then, Hana seemed to really like Choji and wanted to bewith him more than she wanted to be with Sasuke. Or so he thought.

He lifted his head,running his fingers through his hair.
"Why, oh why did I fallfor you Hana Uchiha?"

She definitely made himan idiot, but he wasn't exactly complaining. He would just have tothink of a plan to make sure Sumi Tanaka didn't end up being hisgirlfriend.

Boy, this was going tobe very hard.
