Chapter 42 – Kakashi's Chapter (Part 2)

I must have missed something. When I came into the class room, many girls were crying while everyone else was whispering. I noticed that Sakura was covering her face with the text book. I looked to Sasuke who was doing the same. I was going to start the class when I noticed something in my trashcan. I almost had a heart attack when I saw it was a photo of Sasuke and Sakura kissing. Was that the reason for the crying girls, whispers and faces in books?

I smirked. My little students had kissed. It was about time. It was so annoying obvious that she loves him and he likes her. I've been waiting forever for them to get together. Now there was photo evidence. I guess I'd take it out of the trash for memory purposes of course.

I was so tempted to publicly congratulate the couple on their new relationship but I didn't really have time. I started class like nothing had happened. All day I witnessed more upset girls and heard more and more rumors about the kiss. I learned also that my room had been filled with them. Most people were taken by surprise while some whispered theories of the photos being fake and such. But the question I had was, who took the picture? Who posted all the photos up?

It was all very odd. But I was happy for Sakura. When we were both at my apartment I congratulated her on her new relationship.

"We're not dating!" She went red.

"Really?"

"Yes," She sighed, "He just kissed me to shut me up. I was bothering him."

"That is only appropriated if the two are lovers," I remembered that from Icha-Icha. She got even redder.

"Do you think he could like me?" She asked. I smirked. She was so clueless sometimes.

"Yes. I do," I answered.

"No. He thinks I'm annoying," She was so unconfident.

"But he kissed you, Sakura. He kissed you. There are many other ways for a guy to shut up a girl besides kissing her."

"I still don't think he likes me. I think if he did he would tell me."

"Maybe he doesn't know he likes you."

"What?"

"Some guys ignore all the signs that they like a girl and don't realize their feelings till it is usually too late," I explained. She seemed to take in my words.

"I still don't know. Sasuke-kun is usually pretty aware of his feelings and thoughts."

I shrugged.

"But maybe you're right. Maybe he-" I saw her get a hopeful glimmer in her eyes. She looked at me.

"How do I make him realize his feelings?" She asked me.

Despite reading one of the greatest love stories of all time, I was not sure how to help her get Sasuke to realize his feelings. We had already tried jealousy…Maybe she could give him the cold shoulder. Sakura would not like that.

"Just be yourself. He'll come around," I felt so cheesy.

"I hope you're right. But I was so upset that whoever that photographer was posted the kiss everywhere. I knew Sasuke-kun would be upset and he was. The last thing I want is for Sasuke-kun to be upset."

"Do you have any idea who it could have been?"

"No. It could have been anyone. When I found out, they better have a damn good reason for doing that."

"Maybe they just wanted everyone to know that you two were to be together and everyone else should back off."

"Maybe."

The day at school, the crying had stopped but whispers continued. I noticed that Sasuke and Sakura were missing.

"Where are Sasuke and Sakura?" I asked the class.

"Probably making out," Idate snickered earning some chuckles. I could only hope.

"Shut up, dumbass," Naruto yelled at Idate.

"You shut up!" The boys began bickering. I let them since Ino gave me the true answer.

"They were called to principal's office."

"Thank you, Ino."

I broke up the fight between Idate and Naruto and went on with my class. When I saw Sakura afterschool, I asked her why Principal Sarutobi had called her to the office.

"He wanted to talk to us about the phot incident. He wanted us to know that what happened was not okay with the school as it was defacement of property or something and it was something like bullying. He also told us if the culprit was caught then he would make sure they were punished. He then suggested we kept out romantic moments to more private locations," She blushed.

"I see."

"Yeah. And he contacted our parents. I am so scared about us going home tonight. I think they'll all be too happy."

"Well, I can keep you late if you want," I offered.

"No, it's okay. It's better to get it over with."

When our time together ended I wished her luck. I secretly wished I could go and see it. It was going to be so interesting.
