Chapter Four
"Kiba, really, button up your shirt," I said, as I gave a hot fudge sundae to the blonde haired lady waiting in line.
"No, it attracts the ladies..." Kiba said as he looked at the line.
I rolled my eyes. "Yeah...just remember that ladies don't like hairy chests."
"How would you know?"
I turned and gave him a how-stupid-can-you-get look.
"Oh..." he responded.
Yes, that was the bonus pack of what came with my gayness, or anyone's gayness really-knowing what girls did and didn't like. That's why guys most of the time went to me when they needed help with girlfriends and crap like that. And that's why Sakura came to me when she decided that she liked Itachi.
I cringed. Why couldn't he just stay out of my mind for one day? It was bad enough to be "attracted" to him when I already lived with him, but thinking about him almost every half an hour was just ridiculous.
"I would like a banana split please," I recognized the voice right away.
"Want any strawberries for your hair with that?" I teased.
"Hmm...cute, but no thanks."
"Oh, and Sakura?"
"Yeah?" She asked.
"You're inaccurate."
"What do you mean?"
"Bananas can't do splits, they don't have legs."
"You make really stupid comebacks, you know that, right?"
I turned and smirked at her. "Hey, I wouldn't be talking."
She smiled at me. "Still haven't changed...even after what happened."
"Well...it's not like you've changed either." I said as I put a banana at the bottom of the bowl.
"True..."
It was quiet the rest of the time I made the "inaccurate" banana split.
"Here you go," I said as I handed it to her.
I looked at the clock. 3:45. Fifteen minutes till I was done.
"You came at the end of my work shift for a reason?" I asked, trying to sound as if I didn't know what we had planned.
She looked at me for a moment, not understanding, but then I saw the idea light up in her face as she mouthed the word "oh". "Well," She said, "I was wondering if you wanted to come over to help me with some homework, since I know you already helped Naruto and all..."
"Yeah...that should be fine. Let me call my parents."
She gave me a desperate look.
Oh right. I had to cover up somehow. Crap. Oh well, I'll probably think up something on the spot.
"Hey Mom...I-yeah...well, I was-yes Mom, I got my clothes put away, but anyways I was wondering-YES Mom...okay, well listen, I was wondering if I could-Mom, please, let me talk for a minute...okay...so you know how Kiba works with me right, he was wondering-Yes, Mom, he's the one with the dog-Yes, I'm sure he's got his rabies shot and everything...anyways-Yes Mom...just please...lis-Yes Mom...you know what? Just give the phone to Dad, okay?"
I sighed as I waited for Mom to give the phone to Dad. I gave Sakura a look saying my-mom-can't-possibly-anymore-annoying-on-the-phone.
"Hey, Dad? Yeah, can I go to Kiba's house after I'm done at work? Yeah, I'll probably have supper there...okay, thanks...bye."
I closed my phone and sighed.
Sakura laughed. "My, I never knew your mom was the nagging type."
"Only on the phone."
I looked at the clock once again. 4:00.
I started to take off my name tag and hat. "Do I have hat hair?" I asked.
"Yeah..."
"Good...I knew I would, so I didn't gel my hair."
Sakura just laughed.
"What's so funny?" I asked, mildly confused.
"Just how much you care about your hair."
"Oh..." I looked back over at Kiba. "See you later..."
"Yeah..." Kiba said, looking at me with jealously.
I just smirked. It was nice not to have to work as long as he did.
Sakura and I both headed out of the mall. "Did you bring your car or what?" I asked. "It's a pretty long ways to walk back to your house."
"Yeah, don't worry, I know you don't like walking in those shoes."
I just rolled my eyes as I looked for her old red truck.
It stuck out like a sore thumb. Well, mainly because it totally clashed with Sakura's pink hair.
I got in and laid my head back on the seat. "So...what's our goal for this time?" I asked.
"Well...I know it might be a little much, but I just keep getting a bad feeling that Itachi's going to get a girlfriend before I-or really you-can make a move."
I turned my head to look at her. "Are you saying that you want me to get him to ask you-well, technically me-out?"
"Yeah...if I can get him to ask me-or technically you-then there'll be no problems in wondering if he's taken or not."
I smirked. "You know, I live with him...I'll be able to tell when he's "taken". He'll bring the girl home."
"Really? He's had a girlfriend before?" Sakura asked.
"No...but he's told me...you know, he needs my advice."
"Of course."
"So..." I said. "What do you want your username to be now?"
Sakura shrugged. "No clue."
"I guess I'll think of something."
"And it's not gonna be you want it."
I smirked. "I promise, that was just to get his attention. This time we can change it to anything, even if it doesn't get his attention."
"Anything?" Sakura asked. "Are you sure that's okay?"
"Why not?"
anything: so, I totally serious...but he thought I was kidding. :(
Uchiha101: why?
anything: idk...i think he thought i liked someone else...
Uchiha101: hmm...too bad...
anything: yeah, but what can you do?
Uchiha101: -shrugs- anything?
anything: o.0 oh my...
Uchiha101: lol, i didn't mean it that way
anything: sure you didn't
Uchiha101: -sighs- you got me ;)
anything: i'm a great inspector, aren't i?
Uchiha101: better than inspector clouseau
Sakura laughed. "Ironic much...I just watched Pink Panther last night."
"Hmm...that is ironic...do you think he's stalking you?" I asked with a smirk.
She only winked at me.
anything: lol, ironic, i just watched Pink Panther last night
Uchiha101: oh, i know...jk
anything: stalker... ;)
Uchiha101: -sighs- you got me again...
anything: aha! pink hair pwns all!
Uchiha101: lol, hey sakura?
I felt a lump in my throat. Somehow I had a feeling this would be it. He was going to ask me out. My knees felt weak, and my head was spinning.
anything: yeah?
Uchiha101: You...wanna...i don't know, go to a movie or something?
anything: sure, anything works for me
Uchiha101: of course it does...how about...tomorrow night, 7:00?
anything: yeah sure, cya then... 3
"Oh my God Sasuke!! I love you!" Sakura said, as she literally glomped me.
"No, you're suppose to love Itachi," I corrected her.
"Right, right. But thank you so much...I mean...I can't believe it! I'm gonna go out with Itachi!!"
Oh...wait a minute...Sakura was gonna go out with Itachi...not me.
Damn it all.
