Chapter two: Naruto's POV

I couldn't believe my eyes. Shikamaru... He's here? I couldn't stop staring. I couldn't help it. It had been so long. Then I noticed something... he was looking at me. There was a shocked and worried expression on his face. I guess he didn't want to see me so soon, but I figure while we're both here, we might as well talk.

"Hey Shika. Long time no see." I say, Smiling at him. It had been a long time, to long if you ask me.

"Hey yourself. What's going on? How are you?" He asked me in a shaky voice. I guess he really didn't want to see me... He couldn't even look me in the eye. My heart dropped. There was a moment of silence before I talked again.

"Oh, it's been alright, I herd from Ino that you've got another boyfriend. Shino, was it?" I asked, smiling at him. I wanted him to know I was happy for him, which I was, so it would be less weird.

"Oh, yeah. We met a few weeks ago, at school. We've got a few of the same classes." Shikamaru said, and I saw that smile he use to have when he was thinking about... me.

He continued to look away from me. This time, at the ground. I guess he really didn't want to see me... then he said something...

"I miss you, you know..." He said, still looking at the ground. But the way he said it... it didn't sound real... like, he didn't mean it... He doesn't miss me.

Then the intercom sounded a number, and Shikamaru looked down at his receipt, and he3 seamed releaved.

"That you?" I asked him, hoping it wasn't.

"Y-yeah..." He replied. I was about to say good bye, when he gave me a hug. I hugged back, smiling at him as I broke it.

"See you around then, okay Shika?" I asked, smiling.

"Yeah... See you around." He said, looking down again as I walked away.

I cried that night. Not because I saw him... but because I have come to this realization...

I love him...

A/N: Okay, that's the end. Hope you enjoyed it. See you all in my next fic. Love ya all!
