Deidara hears you out, smiling the whole time. The moment you are finished, he leans in, pushing his lips to yours briefly.

Your eyes widen and as soon as it started, it's over.

"I'll see you tomorrow, Suki-chan, un!" he says, striding down the hall, whistling. You turn scarlet before fumbling with the door behind you. Unlocking it, you stumble in, face burning.

'What the hell was that!?'

You thump your head against the table again, like you have been doing for the last hour.

"Why me?" you moan. "Why does everything happen to me?"

The door opens suddenly and you look up. Karin strides in, giving you a strange look.

"What are you doing?" she demands suspiciously. You groan.

"Nothing…" you reply. "Nothing…"

Crossing to her room, Karin throws you one last look before slamming the door behind her. Thumping your head back on the table, you moan again.

…Slow dancing in the club, the diamonds look like rainbows…

You blink a couple of times.

'That's not my ringtone…'

Fumbling in your pocket you pull out the strange phone and look at it for a moment.

Caller ID: Uchiha Tobi

Frowning, you realize you still have Deidara's phone. Sensing no harm in talking to Tobi you decide to answer it.

"Deidara-senpai!" The voice shrieks through before you can say anything. "Where are you?! Suki-chan and Naru-chan didn't show up!"

"Er… Tobi…" you begin, not sure what to say. "It's Suki."

"Suki-chan!" Tobi shrieks. "Why do you have Senpai's phone?"

"He left it with me by accident," you say. "I don't know where he is."

"Ok. Suki-chan, where were you today?" Tobi asks seriously.

"I'll tell you tomorrow," you promise. "Good night, Tobi."

"Good night, Suki-chan!" He replies before hanging up. You hang up the phone and switch it off. You didn't need any more of those calls.

"Ugh…" you glance over at the clock. 8.30pm. "Screw this; I'm going to bed before anything else happens."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

…I used to live in a world of black and white, until my dreams turned day into night…

With a groan you turn off your Ipod.

'World of black and white…how I wish that was true…'

Glaring around the English room, you curse Naruto and the others for being late.

As if summoned by your words, the door flies open and Naruto, Juugo and Shikamaru enter. Crossing to you, you notice Naruto doesn't look very happy.

"Hey guys, what's up?" you say, raising a hand. Naruto drops into his row, glaring.

"Tenten changed out of English," he moans. "She's in Psychology now! She's really smart, and she's going to find someone else who's smart, and forget all about me! Then I'll die all alone!"

Rolling his eyes, Shikamaru drops into his usual seat, head dropping down instantly. Juugo settles next to him. Rising quickly, you grab your stuff and steal Tenten's former seat.

"Calm down, Naruto," you say, arranging your stuff. "It'll be alright. You'll see her next lesson, right?"

Naruto nods slowly, still pouting.

"P.E," he says. "We have P.E together."

"There you go," you say, eyes fixed on the door. "You'll see her then."

"Right…" Naruto follows your gaze to the door and grins. "Waiting for Deidara?"

"Yea- No!" You catch yourself at the last minute, whirling to glare at the grinning blonde. "No! I'm waiting for Kakashi-sensei."

"Sure…" Naruto says, rolling his eyes. "If you are waiting for Kakashi, it'll be at least half an hour longer."

"Why do we come this early then?" you ask, puzzled. Naruto grins.

"The one time we all decided to show up half an hour late, he was on time," he says sheepishly. "I swear he did it on purpose."

You roll your eyes, before returning your gaze to the door.

"Deidara's not going to show up today," Naruto says in a bored voice.

"Why?" you ask. Then you catch yourself. "Why would I care?! That's what I meant!"

Naruto giggles helplessly. You turn your glare on him.

"Because he came yesterday," Naruto says, flapping a hand. "So he won't show today. He'll probably be in the art room."

As if to contradict Naruto on purpose, the door opens again and the Seniors enter, talking and arguing. Spotting you, Deidara breaks off his argument with Itachi and dashes over.

"Where the hell is my phone, un!?" he demands. Naruto snickers.

"It's alright, Deidara, the phone sex hotline will still be there tonight," he taunts.

Deidara throws him a withering glare, causing the boy to shrink into his seat. You pull the phone out of your bag and hand it to him.

"Here," you say. As he takes it, his hand brushes yours lightly, sending warmth coursing through your fingers.

"Why do you have his phone?" Naruto asks curiously.

"It's not important, un," Deidara drawls, dropping into the row behind them. The other Seniors follow suit.

'What the hell!? He's acting like last night didn't even happen!'

Naruto rolls his eyes, slumping down in his seat. "Stupid Kakashi-sensei," he mutters. "Always late…"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You slam the door to your room shut irritably. Kankuro, sprawled across the table, jumps. Karin raises an eyebrow above her glasses. You toss both of them a glare before stomping to your room.

Throwing your bag on the bed, you stomp around angrily for a moment, needing to move but not wanting to do anything.

"What the hell is his problem?" you growl. "He acted like, like nothing happened!"

Dropping down onto your bed, you stare at the ceiling for a minute.

…How long will I let this go? I can't stand to spend another night alone…

You snatch your phone out of your pocket to read the message.

To: Tasogare Akasuki

From: Tensakai Tenten

Message:

Get online!!!

Rolling your eyes, you drop the phone, shuffling over to grab your laptop from your desk, opening it up. As you wait for it to load up, you settle back on the bed, getting comfortable. Apparently there's a chat site the whole class used.

Opening it up, you raise your eyebrows at the screen.

Enter Username:

With a sigh, you type in something simple.

Username confirmed, welcome Suki-Monkey.

Slapping your forehead, you groan.

'Why can't I stop thinking about him!?'

You blink a couple of times as a box appears suddenly.

RamenLord has invited you to a private conversation.

Clicking the accept button, you shake your head at his name.

RamenLord: Suki! What the hell is up with your name!?

Suki-Monkey: Shut up, Ramen Boy.

RamenLord: It's LORD!! RamenLORD!!

Ten²: It's still got ramen in it!

RamenLord: Don't agree with her! Juugo, back me up!

BigJug: ……You could be more creative.

RamenLord: Yours is BIGJUG!!!

BigJug: You picked it.

RamenLord: Ahh! You're all against me!

TroublesomeCloud: No, you're just an idiot, Naruto.

RamenLord: Shut up, Shika.

Suki-Monkey: Did anyone else notice anything weird about the Senior's today?

RamenLord: I try not to look at them.

TroublesomeCloud: ALL of the Seniors or just Deidara?

Suki-Monkey: ALL OF THEM!!!

RamenLord: Hahaha! Suki and Deidara sitting in a tree! K-I-S-S-I-N-G!!

Suki-Monkey: …….There is no mature answer to that.

Ten²: Sure there is! Naruto and ramen, sitting in a tree! K-I-S-S-I-N-G!!

RamenLord: I wish… *dreamy sigh*

TroublesomeCloud: Don't you mean Naruto and Tenten sitting in a tree?

Ten²: O////O

RamenLord: O////O

RamenLord has left the conversation.

Ten² has left the conversation.

TroublesomeCloud: What a drag… I have nothing to do.

BigJug: I have some History work I could use help with…?

TroublesomeCloud: Sure. I've got nothing better to do. Night Suki.

Suki-Monkey: Night guys.

TroublesomeCloud has left the conversation.

BigJug has left the conversation.

Closing down the box, you sit back, sighing.

'Well, that was a complete waste of tim-'

You cut yourself off as another box pops up.

.Bang has invited you to a private conversation.

Frowning, you click the accept button out of curiosity.

.Bang: Suki-chan!!!

Suki-Monkey: …Tobi?

.Bang: No! It's Deidara!

Suki-Monkey: …….

Suki-Monkey has left the conversation.

Logging off, fuming, you close down your laptop, dumping it on the floor.

"Stupid Deidara," you mutter, crossing to the bathroom. "Acting like nothing happened all day and now! Ugh!"

Stomping into the bathroom, you slam the door behind you, frustrated.

You were going to damn well forget about the stupid blonde until you can get some real answers!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

'Itachi… Temari, ugh, put a bra on girl… Tobi… Pein…damn. No Deidara…'

Narrowing your eyes you scan the table again, and sure enough, the loud blonde is missing.

"Where the hell…?"

"Suki!"

You jump a mile in the air, turning to glare at Tenten as she drops her tray at the cafeteria table.

"Must you be so loud?" you growl. She grins.

"Yes. Yes I must," she replies. Picking at her food, she begins to eat.

Naruto slumps over to the table, sitting next to Tenten, causing both of them to blush lightly. Shikamaru, on your other side, snorts softly, even though his head is down.

"Where's Juugo?" You ask, looking for the tall boy.

"Counseling," Naruto mumbles around a mouthful of ramen. "Ebisu's demanding his lunchtimes as well."

Tenten pulls a face, fork halfway to her mouth.

"Poor Juugo," she says. "The food that Ebisu'll feed him tastes worse than this."

You hear the doors open and your gaze swings over to them. Deidara enters, covered in clay, and heads for the order line. You glare at him.

'He ditched class all day to play with clay!?'

Rising, you leave your food and ignore Naruto's shouts as you cross towards the other blonde. Arriving at the line, Deidara raises an eyebrow at your appearance.

"You. Talk. Now," you snap, grabbing his arm and dragging him back towards the doors.

Ignoring the blonde's protests, you successfully tow him from the room, ignoring the weird looks you receive. Stopping outside the cafeteria, you release him and glare at him.

"What the hell is wrong with you!?" you demand. Deidara grins.

"Nothing, un," he says. "But something seems to be bothering you, un."

"What do you think!?" you shriek, causing several students to look at you. Glaring back at them, you grab Deidara's hand, dragging him around the side of the building.

"Jeez, Suki, if you wanted to get me alone you could have asked, un," Deidara teases.

Ignoring him, you stop, releasing him.

"Why have you been acting like this!?" you exclaim. "Like- like nothing happened!"

"Well, what did happen, un?" Deidara asks, his smirk giving away his amusement of the situation. You flush.

"You know what happened," you mumble, looking at your feet.

"Oh? Refresh my memory, un," Deidara says, grinning now.

Blushing the same color as your hair, you glare at the ground.

"Wh-Why did you k-kiss me?" you mumble. You hear Deidara chuckle.

"Because I wanted to, un," he says simply. "And I want to do it again, un."

Glaring up at the blonde, you frown.

"No," you say. "No. You've been acting like nothing happen-"

You are cut off as Deidara pushes his lips gently against yours, a little firmer than last time. Before you can even close your eyes, he pulls back.

"Aww, is Suki-chan upset that I was ignoring her, un?" Deidara teases. You stare at him, shocked. Deidara smiles sadly at you. "I am sorry about that, but I have a reputation, un."

You tilt your head to the side, puzzled. He sighs.

"People have certain expectations of me, un," Deidara says sadly. "And I don't want you to have to deal with that, un."

You frown, trying to understand his cryptic words.

"Anyway, the point is, un," Deidara continues. "If we're going to have anything, it has to stay quiet, un."

You think for a second.

"By 'quiet' you mean secret, right?" you ask. Deidara nods. Your frown deepens.

"Please, Suki, un…" Deidara says softly, wrapping his arms around your waist. "I really do like you… please, un?"

Biting your lip, you lean into his embrace, feeling comfortable.

"I- I… guess…" You mumble. "Quiet… I can do that…"

Deidara hugs you tighter.

"Thank you, un," he whispers. "You won't regret it, un."

Looking up at him, you give him a look of mock severity.

"I better not," you say sternly. Deidara grins, leaning down. Your eyes widen in anticipation.

Millimeters before Deidara's lips touch yours, a voice rings out.

"Suki?"

You curse Naruto, pulling out of Deidara's arms.

"Suki? Where are you?"

'He had to bring Tenten…'

"This is troublesome…"

Groaning, you step away from Deidara. The blonde tosses you a grateful look before vanishing around the corner of the building. As the end of his ponytail vanishes around the corner, a crash behind you announces Naruto's oh-so-graceful entrance. Spinning, you meet Shikamaru's knowing eyes.

"Um, hi guys," you say. Naruto and Tenten start to complain about how you vanished, while Shikamaru continues to watch you.

"Come on, Suki," Naruto says, grabbing your hand. "You rushed out before we could finish!"

Allowing Naruto to drag you back, you catch Shikamaru's eye again. He raises an eyebrow and mouths one word.

'Deidara?'

'Oh crap…'

Hey! Sorry for this being a day late (*laugh* that's a nice song, 'A Day Late') but I was really busy yesterday. To tell you the truth, I don't know why I update on Tuesdays. I have no studies at school so I have a lot of homework; I take karate and don't get back until late. Oh well, I just do. Anywho, I'll update next Tuesday as planned, but probably not the Tuesday after that. I'm going to Mexico for about 1.5 weeks and I don't know if I'll be alowed on or not. Maybe if I'm in a good mood I'll post two chapters next week instead of just one. (*hint hint* Reviews & messages make for a happy Singergirl *hint hint*)
