Chapter 8: BAKA! DOBE! What A Bad Day Indeed
The next morning I rolled onto my side and stretched out my arm to get closer to Sasuke. I felt my soft bed under my hand. I opened my eyes. The other side of my bed was empty. I looked to the corner of my room. The window was open. My eyes grew wide. NO! He couldn't leave! Today was the day we would go to the festival together! I jumped out of bed and looked around my room.
"SASUKE-KUN!" I yelled and looked under the bed. GREAT! NOW WHAT WAS I GOING TO DO! I felt like I was going to cry. I ran down the hall and screamed his name again.
"SASUKE! SASUKE-KUN!" I screamed and went downstairs. He wasn't sitting on the couch.
"No...," I said and turned around. I almost fell over when Sasuke appeared behind me.
"Damn….good morning to you to," he replied and scratched his head. He looked worn out. I hugged him tightly.
"I thought you left…," I said and nestled my head into his chest. He chuckled and pushed me off. He then sat on the couch and rolled his eyes.
"Why would I do that? More importantly….," he looked at me and I started to blush. "Why would I want my girlfriend to hang out with a baka like Naruto?" he said and blew a hair out of his face.
I looked at him. He actually….he actually referred to me as his girlfriend! I smiled and sat next to him.
"Where were you that made me worry?"
He sighed and laid back. "Outside….training." He closed his eyes.
I smiled. "Well at least you're dressed. I have to go change," I said and kissed him on the cheek. He opened his eyes and smirked at me.
I went upstairs to go change. I took out a nice pink top and my favorite red skirt. However, I was such in a hurry and since I am a total klutz I tripped and fell with a big OOF!
"Crap…," I cursed when I fell onto the floor.
"Sakura? You ok?" I heard Sasuke call from downstairs. I stood up and brushed myself.
"I'm fine!" I called down and started to fix my hair.
"You fell didn't you?"
I jumped. Sasuke at the door, his arms in his pockets and he was giving one of his charming smirks. I nearly melted.
"Sasuke!" I said surprised. "I thought you were going to wait!"
"Well, I got tired of waiting," he said and sighed. "But if you want I can just leave…"
He then started to walk away.
"NO!" I yelled. He turned and chuckled.
"You're so annoying…," he said and walked back and stood by the doorway. I was still annoying? This was just great…. I sighed and turned back at my dresser, sadly. I continued to fix my hair. He sensed my sadness and walked over to me. He stood next to me and put another cherry blossom on placed it on the desk. He then leaned over and kissed my cheek. I tensed up. Wow, I wasn't expecting that….
"But not as annoying as before…I'll be downstairs…," he said and went downstairs. I blushed and looked at the flower. I smiled. I guess he wasn't as snobby as before.
Quickly, I fixed my hair and straightened out my outfit. I then pulled on my black boots and checked myself out in the mirror. I looked good. So good, Sasuke should drool. I smiled and headed downstairs.
I opened my mouth to talk when Sasuke took the words out of my mouth.
"Let's go…," he said and opened the door. There stood Shikamaru, Ino, Hinata and Naruto.
"Sorry, we're late!" Ino said and smiled. I sighed. I thought that Ino knew I wanted to walk with Sasuke to the festival alone! I guess not…
"Geez, woman you're so troublesome…," Shikamaru muttered under his breath.
"But it's still too early to go to the festival…," I said to make up an excuse to leave me and Sasuke alone.
"Yeah, I know but….," Ino started.
"I had an idea that we should hang out a little bit early…," Hinata said softly. Naruto stared at Sasuke evilly. Sasuke returned another evil glare.
"But…," I started.
"Eh! Don't sweat it! It'll be so much fun!" Ino said and grabbed my arm. She then took Hinata's arm and we walked off. Leaving the guys trudging behind us. Most of the way, me, Hinata and Ino were busy talking while the guys….uhhh….
"YOU BETTER NOT DO ANYTHING TO HER YOU HEAR ME BAKA?" I heard Naruto yell.
"Whatever…"
"AND NO GETTING ALL TOUCHY TOUCHY! THAT MEANS NO KISSING! NO HOLDING HANDS! DOBE!"
"Hmph…"
"AND IF I SEE YOU DOING ANYTHING SUSPICIOUS I'LL HURT YOU SO BAD! GOT THAT?"
"She's my girlfriend….why shouldn't I kiss her or do anything else? Back off and lay off her...baka. Got it?"
I stopped talking and looked back. Sasuke voice was cold and sharp. Naruto was quiet and his arms were crossed.
"Just….just….don't hurt her alright?" Naruto said.
"Hn….I would never hurt her….and if you do anything to her or hit on her in any way…" Sasuke grabbed his collar. "I'll kill you…"
I blushed and faced forward. He really cared about me. I heard Naruto grunt and push Sasuke off him. Poor Shikamaru, he had to put up with them and he was sighing the whole way.
Ino nudged me and Hinata looked at me. I blushed.
"Looks, like someone is pretty defensive of his girlfriend! AWW! That's so sweet!" Ino said and sighed. "I wish Shikamaru would be like that and not sit on his lazy ass."
Hinata and I giggled. "Wow Sakura. Sasuke must really like you," Hinata stated. I blushed and I looked back at the guys.
"BAKA! BAKA! BAKA!" Naruto taunted.
"Don't make me kill you before we get there…."
"UGH! COULD YOU GUYS SHUT UP! YOU GUYS ARE SO TROUBLESOME! DAMMIT!" Shikamaru screamed.
Ino, Hinata and I laughed.
Sooner or later, we finally arrived at the festival and already the place was crowded.
"See aren't you glad that we came early?" Ino said.
"And just think of all the people when the fireworks start? We probably won't have any place to sit," Hinata said sadly.
"Ehh…cheer up Hinata, I bet there will be seats," Shikamaru said while looking around.
Naruto ran past us and looked around in awe.
"ALRIGHT! RAMEN HERE I COME!" He said and ran into the crowd to go find a ramen stand. I rolled my eyes. Was there a time where he wasn't thinking about ramen?
"Naruto-kun! Wait up!" Hinata said and ran after him and they both disappeared into the crowd.
"Chouji!" Shikamaru called out. He turned around and smiled with a bag of chips in his hand. Shikamaru then ran after him. Ino sighed.
"I sware, out relationship won't last like this…catch you later!" Ino said and started to walk off.
"INO! WHERE DO WE MEET?" I called out.
"I'll meet you and Sasuke after the fireworks!" Ino called back and disappeared into the crowd. Leaving me with Sasuke….alone…..in a crowd….
I gulped and started to blush. My heart started to race faster and faster. A hand touched my shoulder and I jumped.
"So this is the festival huh?" Sasuke said and looked around. I blushed and turned around.
"Y-yeah…so what do you want to do first?" I asked. He looked away.
"Don't care…," he replied blankly and started to walk away. I ran up to him.
"Want to go get something to eat?" I asked and smiled.
"No."
I frowned. What was with his attitude? Oh right….he was always like this. I sighed. I didn't say anything. We walked for a while, without saying a word. The place was getting more crowded by the second. Most of the people were couples. I looked at Sasuke. He seemed like he was out of it. I stepped in front of him.
"Why aren't you talking to me?" I asked and frowned. He looked at me and rolled his eyes.
"Don't feel like it…when is this over?" He asked and looked around. It looked as if the environment was making him uncomfortable. I sighed.
"After the fireworks….tonight," I said and took his hand.
"Why? You want to leave already?" I asked and pouted. He shook his hand free from my grasp and started to walk off. Fine then…
The day went on and we spent most of the day not talking to each other. What was with the attitude change? What did I do? I guess…I guess…that was a lie about us being couple. I sighed.
"Hey mister why don't you win a special something for your girlfriend huh?" a man called out to Sasuke. Sasuke just walked off.
My stomach growled.
"Sasuke, you sure you don't want anything to eat?" I asked. He continued to walk and I started to lag behind.
"Sakura, stop being annoying and don't get lost!" Sasuke said. I frowned. He then continued to walk off. THAT WAS IT!
I then charged up to Sasuke and grabbed his arm. He faced me, his eyes full of surprise. Mine on the other hand were full of anger, frustration and sadness.
"WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH YOU? You were just fine before we got here! What has gotten into you?" I screamed. A few people even turned to stare. Sasuke grabbed back his arm and sighed.
"Can't I act this way? I can't be the love-sick puppy eyed person you want me to be," Sasuke said coldly. Tears started to sting my eyes. I stood there, speechless.
"You know what?" I started to say and tears started going down my face. "I don't care anymore! DAMMIT SASUKE! I can't believe….ugh! If you didn't want to be here, you could've told me! You can just go and leave already! I don't care! It seems that revenge is too important for you right now. So there! I'm letting you leave! Just….just...," I stuttered. But I couldn't find the words. But dammit, if he was going to act like a boyfriend, he had to show it.
I heard Sasuke sigh. "Sakura, stop being such a drama queen…"
I frowned and more tears flowed down my face. "THEN LEAVE THEN IF YOU HATE BEING WITH A DRAMA QUEEN LIKE ME! BAKA!" I yelled.
Wow, I actually….said that to him…the Sasuke Uchiha. Just to make matters worse, once I turned around some little kid threw up all over me. A few people laughed. But at that moment I didn't really care. I ran through the crowds of people, crying my eyes out. A crowd was formed and they watched the scene unfold. Some people called out to help me, others frowned at Sasuke and scolded him and other just laughed. What had just happened? Sasuke being a jerk and me taking it all in. I was stupid enough to fall for his sappy romantic charm and I was even more stupid to tell him to stay. If Sasuke was going to fake his feelings for me….he…he could just leave.
