A/N: Hello guys! Did you all miss me? XD Kidding! Well, I know you are all sick of my excuses but I was really busy with school these past few days and I'm lucky to even have time to write this chapter.

And to all the others who weren't included here, I'm sorry...I just didn't have enough time to go through everyone who reviewed my story…please forgive me. But I promise, if you review this chapter, then I'd see your names and perhaps I'd write everyone in the next chapter if I had the time.

Anyway, thank you so much everyone for all your support! ^_^

Chapter 17 - Day Two

"Aaahhh…" said Naruto as he yawned. It was the second day of their bet. Naruto worked until midnight last night and he was so exhausted. Naruto gazed at his alarm clock and his eyes immediately widened. He hurried to the bath and took a 5-minute shower. He grabbed an apple and rushed to the school. He dashed off to school. As usual, Naruto overslept but no one can blame him, he was working really hard.

"Make it in time!" Naruto screamed to himself while running like there's no tomorrow. At the same time, he's biting large chunks from his apple. Naruto ran up the stairs, through the hallway, and into his classroom. He opened the door, panting and sweating. The way he opened it made his classmates stare at him. His (still) wet hair moved gorgeously and his sweat (from running) made his skin look shiny and at that very moment, the sunlight made his eyes glisten making him look very beautiful (in a very manly way).

Everyone were open-mouthed at the sight. The girls were all blushing. A certain girl was all red and was at the verge of fainting. [A/N: I bet all of you know who that certain girl is?]

Naruto walked by without even noticing the blushes and stares directed at him. He was heavily panting.

"Yo!" greeted Naruto. He turned around and everyone redirected their attention to whatever they were doing.

"Whoa! Nice entrance!" grinned Kiba as he ruffled his best friend's hair.

"Well, what would you expect? He's the number one hyperactive knucklehead student this school has ever seen, remember?" Sasuke commented with a smirk on his face.

"What was that? Wanna fight?" Naruto sneered.

"Oh, c'mon, knock it off, okay? Don't start a fight this early in the morning. Save it for later." Shikamaru sighed, leaning on his chair.

Suddenly the bell rang and right on cue, Sir Iruka entered and everyone sat on their chairs. Time passed quickly and the morning classes were all finished. It was time for lunch and everyone headed to the cafeteria. As usual, the boys ate at the rooftop while the girls mingled in the cafeteria.

The girls were seated at the corner-most table in the cafeteria. Luckily, there weren't many people there at the time.

"Hey, hey! I never knew that Naruto actually looks oh-so-good." Ino squealed.

"Yeah, he was so hot!" Temari laughed. Hinata was sitting quietly, but she was listening to what her friends were saying.

"He is." Sakura smiled.

"Yeah, and his blonde hair looked awesome! His sparkling eyes, his tanned complexion, his goofy yet cute smile, his muscular build, wow! He is super hot, cute, and awesome!" Ino had sparkles in her eyes. Her friends can't help it but laugh. Hinata agreed to what Ino just said, though not verbally, she thought that it was a bit too embarrassing but she ended up blushing a bit.

"He's dreamy when you think about it that way. But Ino, Sai will be really upset if he hears this." Tenten laughed.

"Oh c'mon! Naruto may be hot, but Sai is way hotter!" Ino winked.

"Well, yeah, you can say that." Sakura laughed. They kept on talking about Naruto and the other guys.


Meanwhile, at the rooftop, the guys were also having a conversation of their own.

"Achoo!" Naruto sneezed loudly. Everyone looked at him. Kiba has a mischievous look on his face.

"Maybe the girls are talking about you right now." Kiba laughed but Naruto didn't know anything about it.

"Eh? Why?" Naruto was as innocent as a little kid.

"Because they think you're hot." Kiba laughed sarcastically.

"What? Me, hot?" Naruto was surprised and he had a slight blush on his face.

"Even Sakura might ask you out." Kiba was still laughing. Sasuke slightly flinched from that comment but no one saw it.

"Really? You think so?" now Naruto is all excited and Kiba just laughed harder.

"Darn it Kiba! You got me all excited for nothing." Naruto pouted which only made Kiba laugh even harder-to the point where he had trouble breathing. The others laughed along.


The girls suddenly gave attention to Hinata who was quietly enjoying her lunch. They all had smirks on their faces.

"So…Hinata?" Sakura started. Hinata looked at her and immediately had a bad feeling about what was about to happen.

"Uh...yeah?" Hinata gave a questioning look.

"Do you think Naruto is hot?" Ino smiled evilly.

"Uhm…maybe?" Hinata was blushing.

"Hmm…maybe isn't enough." Temari grinned.

"Well…I'm not so sure…" Hinata just blushed an even darker shade of red.

"Okay then…we'll let you off the hook this time, but you'll have to give us a proper answer someday, okay?" Tenten smiled sweetly. Hinata nodded and smiled. They resumed on talking about guys and the new fashion trends and stuff.


"Hey, Sasuke has been awfully quiet." Naruto commented.

"Well, you already nailed the first two days of your bet and tomorrow, it's do or die." Shikamaru answered.

"Oh, yeah. And I'll definitely win it." Naruto grinned.

"We'll see about that." Sasuke smirked. It seems like he just had a great idea.

"Hmmm…what are you planning?" Naruto eyed suspiciously.

"It's obviously a secret. But you'll find out soon enough…" Sasuke gave a very evil smirk. Naruto gulped and the other guys were curious about this plan Sasuke has.


So, what do you think? Short, huh? I'll try to make my other chapters longer. Cliffhanger! XD Haha! Can you guess what Sasuke's plan is?

I really appreciate your reviews and I'm looking forward to reading more. I'd really prefer constructive reviews and comments about my story because I want to know my faults, the parts you liked and did not like, stuff like that.

I was actually thinking of discontinuing my story because I'm busy and I'm not that excited about it. But because of your reviews, I felt a bit more excited. Depending on how things will go, it's either I discontinue this story, end it quickly or continue it with all my heart. But please support me till the end! ^_^
