So that I can come over, idiot.

Oh, sorry that I couldn't see through your creeper plan. Ass.

You're so funny Haruno.

Oh, how does Sasuke Uchiha have my number? And how do I have his? Cause um… He's Sasuke Uchiha. Well it was rather Sasuke-ish. See he just took my phone, dialed some numbers and his phone started to buzz. Dialing himself, he so would. So now I have his and he has mine.

Ever since he first came to my dorm, he's been coming almost everyday. He just waltzes into my room and makes himself at home. Usually Hinata's not in because she's always busying tutoring people.

Oh please Sasuke-kun, feel free to just start poking around with all the stuff that I own.

If not my dorm, we're either hanging out with the two great blondes in the common room, or in town during weekends. And sometimes, if he feels a bit mellow or something, we go on walks in the west wing hall. To tell you the truth, describing it as a "hall" doesn't do it justice. It's kind of like this long, long, big road that's out side the school. It has these giant white pillars to each side until you reach the west wing of the school, which is the school library. But no body takes that hall because there's an elevator that just leads straight to the place. Why take a nearly 30 minute walk when you can take about 5 minutes with an elevator right?

So walking there and coming back is about one whole hour. One whole hour of interesting topics, sarcastic jokes, and rude comments. One whole hour with Sasuke-kun.

If you haven't figured it out. You're an idiot. Like many of the population in my school, I also have a shallow crush on Sasuke-kun. I mean, who hasn't?

But anyway, tonight Sasuke-kun wanted to hang out at my dorm, which is why he's right here, relaxing on my bed, and playing with one of my stuffed animal.

See what he does is, every time he comes over he always finds a new thing to play with for the rest of the night. Not like, dress ups and make believes playing, but he just starts to fiddle with it while talking to me. Kind of like curious George, except he's not a monkey, that'd be Naruto.

"What is this anyway?" he asks as he inspects the plushy that he's holding.

"It's a pig with a tee-shirt, dummy." I reply as I start loosing hair trying to figure out my calc homework questions.

"Hn."

Argh, screw it. Calc homework wasn't due till next week, I'll just start on my psych homework.

"Got any plans for Halloween?" He asks as he's nudging on the pig's arm, moving it up and down.

"I usually just volunteer for the festival, you?" I crack open my psych text book, page 324…

"Probably just hangout at the festival with Naruto I guess." He mutters. Boy, he really likes that doll.

Question one (Identifying expressions) - You are conversing with a friend. He/she displays uneasy eyes, furrowed brows, and slight gaping of the mouth. What might your friend portray?

I scribble down; He or she portrays an expression of either a state of disbelief or confusion.

"Come with me then, 'stead of volunteering."

"Sure thing. I'll need to buy a costume…" I start chewing on the eraser sitting on top of the pencil. Nasty habit when I'm thinking.

Question two (emotions) - Where might one find enjoyment, comfort and relaxation in another? Give an example.

"Hn. Costumes are stupid…" he mumbles to himself.

One might find enjoyment, comfort and relaxation while in the presence of the desired person, such as being companied by a friend.

And I don't know why but I turned around to look at him (still playing with my plushy) and a smile just slowly rose to my face.

"What?" he asks and looks at me as if I've grown an extra nose.

"nothing." I say, my unexpected smile still on my face.

"Tch, weirdo."

--------

Sasuke was right, costumes are stupid. So stupid, it's hilarious, fun, and makes memories. Like right now, seeing Naruto in a costume where his bottom half is a cow, makes me laugh while Sasuke is just there smirking. I mean, it's brilliant. It's held up by suspenders and has the cow utter and everything.

Naruto declares he'll definitely buy it and "rock the festival."

Sasuke really didn't want to get dressed up but Naruto and I insist that he has too. He was the one who invited me anyway. So he just opted for buying a Jason Voorhees mask and dress up in dark clothes. It isn't much but this is Sasuke we're talking about. Plus he thought he might be able to hide from the fan girls if he wore a mask. But Naruto and I both know, with that unusual artfully messy hair, they'd have to be idiots to not recognize him.

While Naruto points out "But teme! With that gay hair they'll know it's you."

I wisely take a step back and let Sasuke-kun live his dreams. Halloween spirit right? (Who says Christmas gets all the jolly fun?)

As I'm standing back, and watching Naruto get beat up, I'm in my very own costume. (Which I, will also totally rock) I'm Alice, from Alice Wonderland obviously. Well the package says it's "Miss Wonderland." But we all know that just a cryptic way of saying "Hot and Cute Alice."

Like what the packaging really means, it's very cute. Its sky blue, and has ruffled skirt and shoulders that hangs of the shoulders rather than rest on it. It comes with this just as cute white corset looking like apron with a design of a heart, diamond, clubs, and spades (from the card decks). To top it off, black and white striped thigh high stockings and a sky blue ribbon headband to compliment my pretty pink tresses.

I have the body to support such a look, and I'm not going to lie. Even I think it's cute. So does Naruto. In his words

"Damn Sakura-chan! That costume looks awesome on you!"

As of Sasuke, he looks at me once (checks me out, up and down, squealll) and looks away as if he's embarrassed. I can't tell because he was wearing the mask. Maybe he was blushing.

Anyway, after our adventurous shopping at the costume store, we all headed back to our dorms.

--------

"Five bucks that I'll get the hoops on the bottles. In the first shot." Naruto says while receiving some neon colored hoops.

"With you're hand and eye coordination, I'll make it 10." Ino says crossing her arms together.

The festival is really lively, something that I enjoy a lot. It has all these pretty little pumpkin lanterns and candy corns everywhere. Sadly, the theme is all orange (soo tackyyy.) I'm just leaning against the game booth watching Naruto shout victoriously as Ino hands him over money.

"C'mon." Sasuke suddenly mumbles as he grabs and hand and drags me.

"Er… where are we going?" anywhere with you is fine, really. Wink.

So we end up a little out side the festival, behind it actually. And behind our school, where the festival is held, is a giant acre of trees. It's sort of like a park, we use it study the natural environment for some of our science classes.

And now, we're just sitting against a tree. My costume is getting dirty, but whatever when will I ever wear it again?

"So this is fun." I comment.

"Hn, better than being crowded up on people all night."

"True." Very true, fan girls come in packs these days.

"Wait here." He says as he suddenly out of nowhere (what the hell?) gets up and goes back to the festival. So I'm just sitting here, under a big oak tree like the real Alice in wonderland. Except I feel like a loser, a bit confused. I just start fiddling with my apron.

"Stop doing that, you look stupid, like Naruto." I roll my eyes as I scoot over for him to sit down. See, I would have gotten mad but as we all know, Sasuke a brilliant. It's like he knows what I love. He comes back with

Two bags of cotton candy

Can of ginger ale

Pop corn

Oh, a third cotton candy underneath the pop corn

A tiny bag filled with various candies

And a bag of potato chips.

God this guy is amazing.

He sort of looks really cute because all these amazing delicacies are over crowding his arms.

I start off with the tiny bag of candies. Oooh Now and Later, delicious.

"Well this was really nice of you. What's the occasion?" I say while I have my eyes oogled at miniature Hersey bars, Sneakers, and Toblerone. Good stuff.

"Just thought you'd be hungry." He says as he throws a pop corn into his mouth. Aww, he has a heart.

As we're just munching down silently I start thinking…

It's sort of like we're having a moonlight picnic. (Except no fancy blankets, and we're just munching down junk food.)

It sort of feels like a date.

And even though we're in a silly costume, sitting on dirt floor, away from all the festival stuff, it feels so right.

I look up and see him eating potato chips and it just smacks me.

God I really like this guy, I like this guy so much.

I've never felt anything so beautiful, and at the same time, so foreign in my life. This moment right now, spending time with him, I wanted it to stay forever.

"Oi TEME! SAKURA-CHAN! What are you doing here instead of at the festival?!"

Ugh, crap.

Hope you enjoyed. I had fun writing this chapter. And as always

Reviews are a pleasant surprise (:
