I read a fic today called Stolen Kiss (i think thats the title). I was laughing out of shock cuz the plot in it was super close to the plot of this story. Weird... but i loved that one-shot so much I had to add it to my favorites, y'know? Well, on with the show! Here's Chapter 2!
Chapter 2-- Secrets To Keep
He finished the last flyer and led her into the classroom. Mr. Iruka was already there writing on the board, "POP QUIZ". Joy.
The class was long and boring. It seemed to drag out forever. Shikamaru could've easily slipped into the class to nap and not get caught. Barely anyone was awake. Except Sakura, of course. She had to work to stay in this school, after all.
BLIIIIIIIIIIINNNGGGG!!!
Suddenly, the entire class became fully alert and raced out of the classroom and flew down the stairs with the rest of the stampede. Two words: Early Release.
Her jade eyes searched the crowd for a sign of Naruto or Sasuke. She had forgotten to ask where Sasuke parked. And to make it even better, there were five different parking lots.
"Sakura!! Over here!" She shot her head back to see Tenten flailing her arms above the rush of students a good distance behind her. But with everyone trying to race out, it was hard as hell to slow down. Forget stopping, the crowd would run you over!
Somehow, she'd managed to slow down enough for Tenten to catch up. "Hey Sakura! Man, with all these midterms, I feel like I haven't talked to you in forever!"
"Yeah, same here." She was trying her best not to fall down the stairs as bodies shoved past her.
"I think I see Neji down there. I finally got the guts to ask him out for a movie. See ya around!!" She Hopped onto the railing and slid straight down to the bottom. Sakura would never even dream of trying that here.
Since she wasn't all that coordinated, she'd surely lose her balance and fall off. And even if she was balanced, someone would want a good laugh and shove her off. Again, big fall means big hurt. And to top it off, she's deathly afraid of heights. Big time.
Once she was on the first floor, the crowds weren't as big and dangerous. All of those people who wanted to get out already were revving up their shiny sports cars and shooting out onto the road.
She slowed down at the entrance, not knowing which way to go first. Suddenly, two arms gripped her tight from behind.
"I've been waiting for you, missy. So slow, you know that?" Insults, deep voice, strong hold.. It was definitely Sasuke.
"Sorry, sorry." She apologized tiredly. He released her and patted her on the back.
"Come on, Naruto's pulling up the car. He said he wanted to go to the mall. You in?" He asked, eying her after wincing from the screech of his tires flying around the corner recklessly. He was now regretting letting Naruto drive.
They always went to the mall. Most of the time they never actually bought anything, but it was still fun just to be there. They made an effort to go at least twice a month. Mostly more than that. Johnny Rocket's had the best shakes and they were addictive.
"Sure! I'm hungry for a good burger, anyways."
Next day...
The indoor court squeaked as the boys dribbled the ball back and forth. Sweat swiveled down their faces as Coach Gai blew his obnoxious whistle.
"Alright! Take a break, guys!" He yelled, causing his voice to echo in the humongous gymnasium.
The teens plopped down on the cool benches and watched the cheer squad practice their routines.
"Dude, they're so hot!" Kiba barked. (ha ha, couldn't help myself.) He shook the guy next to him who happened to be Shino.
"Don't touch me." He warned him.
"Chill! Sorry, it's just- I love gym! Who doesn't? It's an easy grade and you get a great view of the cuties over there!"
"What do you think about that babe over in the super short skirt, Sasuke?" Sai asked. The rest of the guys looked over at the Uchiha to hear what he'd say.
"Hn." He replied curtly.
"Oh, come on! It's Yamanaka Ino, for crying out loud!" Kiba whined.
Sasuke looked back at the blond. She was pretty, but he wasn't interested in her at all.
"She's got a nice ass, I'll give her that. But she's not really my type." He would just see a pretty person. Nothing to seriously stare at. But he didn't want to raise suspicion, so of course he would go along with it as best as he could.
"Whatever, man. You're too picky, you know that, right? Every hot girl we look at you don't give a shit." Kiba lectured.
'I wish I knew why..' Sasuke shrugged it off and went to the showers.
The sky was pitch black. Stars glowed up in the heavens, aiding the moon. Everything was calm and relaxed as usual. Except Naruto.
His alarm on his phone vibrated in the pillow, letting him know it was about time to go. (1:30 am.) He crouched by his door and peaked out into the hallway. He was silently watching his uncle across the hall in his office typing up a storm.
'Would he just finish up already!?' Naruto yelled in his head.
That was the problem. Jiraiya always- and I mean always took his time writing up his books. But obviously it had to be doing some good. Seriously, it's not like they just found their money laying around.
Regardless, since he was right across the hall, any noise would be heard from Naruto's room. Finally, his uncle got up and stretched before leaving his office and going upstairs to his room. Thank God.
Naruto did his little happy dance and crept to his window. He snapped it open and crawled out to the tree next to it. He slid down the trunk and smiled at the red-head that was waiting for him.
"Sorry I took so long. He wouldn't stop typing! Gaara, I swear, even you would've fallen asleep he was so slow!"
The boy just stared oddly at the blond and shook his head. "No need to fuss now. It'll just waste the time we have." He purred out.
Naruto placed his hands on Gaara's chest as he backed him into the tree. Their lips crashed and sucked the life out of each other. They only had so much time until dawn. No one was to know.
Sasuke wasn't so sure about himself lately. Ever since the end of middle school, he noticed he didn't care much for girls in the way mostly all the other boys did. Then halfway through freshmen year, he began to stare at guys. He thought he was just looking. Like looking at a stop sign or looking at a pencil.
But during his sophomore year, something more happened.
He had finished with his shower and was sitting on the bench by the lockers, drying his hair with his towel. One of the guys from his gym class was covered only from the waist down with a towel. That guy was blabbing with a friend in front of Sasuke with another guy.
Sasuke would stare at his glistening abs and the white towel, barely keeping its hold around the teen. But he was snapped from his gaze when the guy would speak up and glare at him. "What are staring at me for? Don't tell me your a gay fag or something, Uchiha!"
His mind panicked. What should he say!? Quick, cover it up!
"Tch, like I'd be gay. Get real."
No way could he be gay. First off, just the thought of it felt weird. And everyone would be all weird, too, if they knew. He had to put an end to it. Maybe.. Just maybe.. He wasn't catching the signs of love like everyone else. Maybe he actually saw Sakura as more than just a friend. Yeah, that makes sense. After that, he started to think about her. Or at least tried to.
It's been like that all the way until now. Halfway through junior year. Everyone and everything.
I'm hoping this chapter was a bit more exciting now. The first was seriously just to bring out the characters and stuff. I'm not sure what I wanna type after this story. If anyone wants to, please send me an idea for a plot or something. I'd really appreaciate it. I'll definitely give them credit for it.
happy unbirthday
