Chapter 12
Sasuke's POV
I woke up, raised my hand, groped around, and held the alarm clock in my hand. It took me a staggeringly long time to open my eyes to look at the time. It was six in the morning; at that point, I recalled that today was Saturday, so I dunked my head into the pillow to continue sleeping. Just as I was about to enter 'lala' land, a loud shuffling sound awoken me, and it seemed to be to be coming from the room beside mine. I stepped out of the room and walked to the next room. Then I saw something that shocked me for the rest of the day…
Normal POV
At Natsume's residence…
Natsume readied up as prepared to go to Sasuke's place to tell him an announcement. The teacher that tried to call him could not get through so he asked Natsume to do him a favour and go over to Sasuke's place to inform him. The teacher wanted to remind them that on Monday; the results of the play competition will be announced, telling them to brace themselves. Natsume reached Uchiha manor after a long, long, long walk. She lifted her hand and pressed the doorbell.
"Ding Dong Ding Dong"
After waiting for awhile, Natsume decided to leave, but just when she turned her head, the door opened.
"Hi there babe…what can I do for you?" A figure at the door said.
Natsume twirled around, only to see Sasuke, or at least she thought it was, besides the fact that he was a tat taller and stockier and that he had a different voice from Sasuke. Whilst Natsume was staring at the unknown figure, Sasuke rushed out and dragged Natsume away.
"Erm…can we talk some other time because my bro is here and I have some things to settle with him…" Sasuke said.
"But why…I want to see the well-known Itachi that represents the soccer team for our school previously, he attained like all the trophies possible during the years he stayed in the school…oh my god…his like a mini Ronaldo or something…" Natsume said, puffing her cheeks.
"Oh…very well…but I must warn you…he's a little perv…"
"It's alright…besides, you here, right?"
"Yup…enter my house then…but still…take precautions alright…"
"Oh yah…I'm actually here to tell you that Monday, the results will be out so our teacher wants to remind us and also to brace ourselves…"
"I see…anyways…why does it seem that you've have forgone cheerleading practice?"
"Oh that…I don't know…maybe I join in soon again…don't worry…I'll root for you…I'll join the basketball cheerleading side…" Natsume said, sticking her tongue out.
"Hahah…just make sure you are on your toes because here we go…"
Sasuke opened the door and they stepped in.
"Bro…I've placed my trophies in the house already…all ready for viewing" Itachi said.
"Whatever okay…" Sasuke said.
Itachi quickly dove forward and stretched his hand out to wrap round Natsume's arm.
"Huh what? Wooh that was smooth…hey…what am I saying…GET AWAY FROM ME…EIIIIII!" Natsume said, using her free hand to hit Itachi's hand away.
Sasuke rushed forward and pulled Itachi's hand away.
"Stay away…no entry bro…she's my friend…" Sasuke said.
"Chill…"
They walked on with Natsume looking at all the trophies inquisitively, bouncing around.
"OH MY GOD…YOU WON FOR THE SCHOOL, THE INTERNATIONAL SCHOOLS' CUP!" Natsume said.
"Yup…that's me…too bad I'm a little off that for now…a pity…" Itachi said.
"That cup is like legendary…I represents beating all the schools in North and South America!" Natsume exclaimed.
"Yup…didn't know girls were into this…normally they were into the boys themselves…like me!" Itachi said.
"Blegh…girls liked you…oh my…your skin is oh so very thick…" Natsume said.
"Whatever chick…"
"And stop calling me that…" Natsume said.
"You're playing hard to get aye…" Itachi said.
"Stop this…anyways…you want to stay over for lunch?" Sasuke said.
"I'd be delighted to…" Natsume said.
"Okay then it's settled…you stay there while my bro and I will serve lunch…" Sasuke said.
Itachi and Sasuke walk to the kitchen.
"What should I cook…hn…" Itachi said.
"Bro…I only spot spaghetti sticks left…"
"Oh goodness…very well…spaghetti it shall be…"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Half an hour later…
"Lunch is served…" Itachi said, taking the plate to the table.
"Yup…here…" Sasuke said, handing Natsume a plate.
"Thanks…smells great…" Natsume said.
"Of course it smells great…it is I who cooked it, the future renowned chef, Itachi!"
"Oh brother…here he goes again…you know, for one, you have really thick skin you know…" Sasuke said.
"I'm just going to dig in…listening to him is wasting time…besides…my stomach's growling…" Natsume said.
Natsume began eating, whilst eating, she tried to say something but all that came out were mumble.
"Swallow first…take your time…" Sasuke said.
After swallowing, Natsume said, "This is really good…looks like he wasn't really lying…" Natsume said.
During the time Natsume complimented Itachi, Itachi's hand slowly crept towards Natsume, just before dropping on Natsume's shoulder, Sasuke quickly stepped forward and grabbed his wrist.
"No can do…just stop harassing the girl will you…" Sasuke said.
"Relax bro…just trying my luck…" Itachi said.
"JUST TRYING YOUR LUCK!" Sasuke said with a nerve on his forehead.
"STOP BICKERING! I'm done eating and I wanna leave…" Natsume said.
"Okay…see you in school on Monday…Jaa!" Sasuke bided.
"Jaa-ne"
After Natsume left, Sasuke said, "Just don't disturb her okay…she's mine…got that?"
"Ohhhhhh okay…no more disturbing…chill a little…" Itachi said.
"Great…glad you understand…"
"Anyways, I forgot to tell you that I won't be staying long here…this house is too empty…" Itachi said.
"Yea…I'm most likely going to do the same…" Sasuke said.
"OKAY…good thinking little one…"
"WHAT DID YOU CALL ME!" Sasuke said with a second nerve on his head, then, Sasuke took a knife from the kitchen and began chasing Itachi around with it.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Two days later (Monday)…
All the students took their places on the seats in the hall. The principal walked up to the stage and to the podium at the side of the stage.
"Pupils of Konoha High…today, is a day of celebration, it is a day of…" The principal said, continuing on and on and on and on…well…you get the point.
"Huuuh…how long can he talk…doesn't he need to drink or something?" Natsume said, impatient and nervous.
"Relax girl…shhh…the results are commencing…" Sasuke reassured Natsume.
"Okay…" Natsume said, putting her fingers to her lips.
"First place goes to class 'E' of year three! Let's give them a round of applause!" The emcee announced.
Loud cheers came from the crowd whilst the winners make their way to the stage.
"Next in place, class 'C' of year three! Another warm applause for them please!"
The participants from the class walked up to the stage, greeted by claps and whistles.
"Lastly, the third placing, class 'B' of year one, this batch of potential actors and actresses definitely came unexpected…a surprise for us all…young and aspiring…put your hands together for them!"
Everyone clapped their hands. Natsume just sat there shocked, she could not believe that they actually got into the top three!
"Natsume…NATSUME!" Sasuke shouted.
"Huh…what?" Natsume said.
"We got to go to the stage…please compose yourself and not go ballistic please…"
"WE GOT THIRD…OH MY GOD…THIRD PLACING!" Natsume shouted.
"Keep it down Natsume…" Kiba said.
"Yea…shhh…" Gaara, Neji and Rock said.
"So troublesome…" said by you-know-who.
Sasuke took Natsume's hand and pulled her to the stage. The principal shook Sasuke's hand and handed the trophy to him. Sasuke and Natsume both held the trophy, one on the left and the other on the right, and held it up high for all to see.
"Alright!" Natsume screamed.
"Please don't make a fool of yourself!" Sakura reminded her.
"Yea…stay composed…" Ino reminds her again once more.
"WOOHOO!" Natsume shrieked again.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Need I to fetch you home, madam?" Sasuke said, bowing to Natsume.
"Will do…" Natsume said.
"Then step right in…" Sasuke said, opening the door.
"With pleasure…" Natsume said, stepping into the automobile.
Sasuke closed the door and then started the engine and then they were off.
"Actually…I wanting to send you home has a favour behind it…" Sasuke said.
"Yah…what is it…just spit it out…"
"I want to ask you if I should go and stay at the school's boarding…"
"I know that your current house doesn't hold much memory in it so I think you should move…"
"You really think so?"
"Yup…" Natsume said, sticking both her thumbs up.
"Then I shall ask you another thing now…"
"Yes…what is it?"
"Well…I would like to ask you if you would want to go boarding with me…"
"Hn…actually I would agree at first but…I'm a little short of cash now…" Natsume said, sticking her tongue out and scratching her head.
"If you're worried about that then worry no more…I will bare the cost of your stay so will you please?" Sasuke pleaded.
"Well…staying at the school will save travel costs and since you are paying for my stay then…I don't see why not!"
"Alright…I will settle the rest then…you just go home, inform your parents about it and wait for the good news…" Sasuke said, grinning from ear to ear.
