Chapter 3: Do I Like Him?
Hello fellow readers!
I don't have any idea what to say next, sooo... disclaimer please!
Naruto: Theseonyxeyes doesn't own Naruto! That's weird.. i just said my name ._.
Onyxeyes: i will stop sulking and write more chaps for my lovely readers(walk toward the computer)
Sakura: hmm.. that's weird..
Sasuke: enjoy the story..
A couple of hours later, Sakura slowly stirred and opened her eyes only to find she's in a room and the smell of medicines pierced in her nose, 'wha- where am I?'. She thought as she tried to sit up only to be held by her companion.
"Now Sakura, don't move too much or you will hurt yourself. Let me help you", he offered and helped her sit up. Sakura hasn't notice who was the boy that helped her since she was too busy trying to remember what had happened.
"Oh.. Uh.. Thanks..", when Sakura looked up to see who helped her, emeralds clashed with onyx orbs. "I-itachi-kun?!", god, she was so embarrassed! And she would have never thought that Itachi's going to wait her till she wakes up.
"D-did you... Wait for me the entire time while i was sleeping?", she asked curiously. He smirked. "Yep... You attract me with those cute sleep talking of yours", he chuckles teasingly. Her face turn into a deep shade of red, "I do not talk in my sleep!"
"Actually, you do. Sakura", he smirked. She's not going to fall for that one, "if it's true, what did I said?"
"Oh, nothing much really, you were mumbling something about the red-haired girl's hair. I think she was called Karin"
"Are you serious? You're not lying right?"
"Me? Lying? Gorgeous men does not lie, Sakura"
"Yeah, you and that big ego of yours"
He laughed. "You are one interesting girl I have ever met", he looked at her with those amused orbs. "Oh, yeah, Shizune-san said you should change your uniform to the dry ones or you will catch a cold. It's in the upper drawer", he told her.
Sakura realised her uniform is soaking wet and walked to the upper drawer and retrieve the dry ones. "Maybe you should think twice if you want to change your uniform", he smirked. She raised her eyebrows, "what do you mean?". He lean on the bed and rested his chin on his palm, "that under clothing you wear looks cute on you" he winked and chuckles.
She blushed madly and cover her upper body with both of her hands, "P-pervert!". She took the dry uniform and rushed to the infirmary's girls bathroom.
Little did she know that Itachi is lying when she asked him what did she said her sleep.
-Flashback peoplez!-
Itachi was waiting for Sakura to wake up patiently while running his hands on her soft bubblegum pink locks. The infirmary was extremely quiet, until Sakura's unconscious form decided to break the quietness of the room.
"Mhmm.. Itachi.. kun.."
Itachi startled and looked at Sakura who was still in deep slumber. And something came up from his mind, he smirked. He lean forward to Sakura and breathe hotly in her ear, "Yes, Sa-ku-ra". "i'm.. c-cold..", she said while her body starting to shiver from the wetness of her uniform and the coldness of the air.
Itachi took another blanket and cover her petite form with it, "There. Does that do the trick, Sakura?". "Thank you", she mumbled and go back to her sleep. He just chuckled continously.
-End of flashback peoplez!-
Sakura went out from the bathroom with her folded wet uniform in hands. "You could put your wet uniform in the basket over there near the desk so the cleaning service can wash it and you can take it back tomorrow", Itachi said. She nodded and walked to the basket and put her wet uniform in it.
That's when she realised that Itachi didn't wear his P.E uniform anymore, he changed and wear his normal school uniform. Sakura was about to ask him when did he changed his uniform. But, knowing this is Itachi, she quickly dispose that thought from her head and took a seat next to Itachi.
"Thanks for taking care of me while i'm asleep, Itachi-kun", she smiled. "You are very welcome, Sakura", he smiled back at her. His smile is so soft it drove Sakura mad. "U-um.. it's 3 minutes more till lunch time. Why don't we go to the cafeteria now?", she offered. Itachi nodded and offered her his hand, which, she accept by the way.
They walk together side-by-side to the Cafeteria not caring if one of Itachi's fangirls saw them. "Hey! It's Sakura-chan, un! Sakura-chan, wait for me!", yelled one of Itachi's Akatsuki friends, Deidara. He ran towards them and walk between them, making space from Itachi to Sakura.
"Sakura-chan, i heard that you're hurt because of a bitch with weird red hair! Are you okay? I'm sorry i'm not there because i got chemistry and i just received the news from a really weird nerd!"
She smiled. "That's alright Deidara, thanks for your concern", she smiled softly at him which Deidara found very beautiful. "Hey hottie! Miss the handsome me?! Come and have lunch with me sweetie!", Hidan yelled while winking from across the hallway.
Behind him was Kisame who was grinning like a mad man. Many students exchange looks with Sakura and starts to whisper with their friends, probably because of what Hidan said to her earlier. "Did you heard what he said to her?"
"Are they dating?"
"Lucky her!"
"My Sakura-chan! I lost to Hidan!"
Great, a new rumour is exactly what she needed right now.
"What!? They're dating!? I can't believe it!"
"Have you heard that Sakura always came to his house every weekend?"
"I heard they shared their first kiss at a park"
Well that escalated quickly.
Sakura mentally face-palmed, how did they even make that rumour?! That is a complete nonsense! While Deidara is really busy glaring holes at Hidan, Itachi used this as a perfect opportunity to escape with Sakura.
"Sakura, let's go to the cafeteria shall we?", he asked while holding her hand. She blushed madly, "O-okay". And they walked together to the cafeteria leaving Deidara and Hidan with their glare competition.
-At the cafeteria peoplez!-
"Yo Itachi!", Itachi turned his head to the right to see who called him. It was one of his basketball team mates. "What is it?", he asked, not really interested in the conversation. "Coach said that we should practice basketball after lunch"
"Okay. Do you mind if i eat lunch here?"
"Sorry Itachi, coach said we will be eating lunch together while discussing something"
He sighed. "I'm sorry Sakura. Maybe we could eat lunch together next time hm?", he forced a smile. He managed to hide his sadness with his smile but not with his eyes, it's full of disappointments. Sakura smiled sweetly, "That's okay Itachi-kun. We could have lunch together whenever you want, besides, i still got Ino-pig". He smiled and left.
Sakura took a deep breathe and let it all out. "Hey Forehead-girl! Over here!", Ino waved her hand at her. Sakura walked over to where her friends are and sat between Ino and Sasuke. "I brought you your bento since you're in the infirmary and your bento at our home class", she said while handing Sakura her bento.
She smirked, "Gee, thanks Ino-pig. I thought you didn't care about me?". Ino blushed, "Th-that's... I'm just worried that you're going to be sick again! If you're sick, the teachers will be telling me to give you your homework!"
"Tch, yeah right", Sakura rolled her eyes and opened her bento box and eat her lunch peacefully which consists of; rice, tempura, cooked vegetables and sausages. "I can't wait for summer vacation! Usually the shops are selling half prices and discounts! Let's go there after school, girls!", Ino squealedhappily while drinking her carton of orange juice.
"No can do Ino", Sakura said and then back to munching her sausage. "What do you mean?", this time, Tenten asked while raising her eyebrows. She was, after all, one of the cafe's workers. Sakura shrugged, "Yukiji-san wants us to work at the cafe today, and only today". "What!? Can't she do it herself? I mean, she's the owner of the cafe for god's sake!", Ino said while waving her hands in the air frantically.
"I know that, but she said that the cafe is really full on summer vacations. Besides, the other wokers declined to helped her at the cafe, so it's only up to us", Sakura explained to her friends. "Th-that's fine by me", Hinata said, followed by Ino's and Tenten's nod.
After having lunch, sakura waved goodbye to Hinata and Tenten and go to the History class with Ino since they attend their history class together. On the way to the history class, Ino talked about the new clothes shop near her house and it will be having a grand opening in two days time.
-In the history class peoplez!-
"okay class! I have some meetings to attend to so read your books from page 325-354 and do exercise from page 362-367. If you don't finished it, you can do it in your house! Now don't be noisy and read quietly!", the history class teacher, Kurenai Yuhi, informed her class and walked away from the room.
When the students already make sure that Kurenai is out of their reach, the boys start yelling and messing around while the girls are making into some kind of groups and began telling and hearing the juciest gossip they heard.
"Hey Sakura!", Ino yelled happily, leaving the assignment Kurenai gave her just a minute ago. "Ino, you don't have to yell i'm sitting next to you, for god's sake", she said while doing her assignment, she is not going to left her assignment just like that. She will finished it so she don't have to do it at her house anymore.
"Have you found a boy that catches your eyes lately?", she asked while moving closer towards her. Sakura, a bit shocked at this, "What are you talking about? You know that study is my top priority". Ino grinned like a wild cat, "You are not going to fool me Sakura. I am not going to fall for that one". Sakura raised her right delicate eyebrow, "Seriously, i don't have any idea what you're talking about".
Ino giggled, "Oh, what the heck, i'll just go to the topic! Did you craved some feelings for Itachi-kun?". Sakura was shocked. Craved some feelings for Itachi?! Where the hell did that came from?! Sakura really did not expect that from Ino's lips. Well, maybe a little, but still!
"Itachi-kun?! Where did you get that rumour from?!", she shout-whispered so noone can hear both of them. "Oh, noone told me. I just saw both of you likes to hang out together and stuffs. You know, if i had not know you better, i would have thought that you're dating with Itachi-kun", Ino said excitedly. "Oh, i'm so proud of you! You finally found a boy that you loved!".
Sakura sighed, she tidied up her books and put it in her bag. Leaving her assignment to do at her house. She knew Ino well enough that she's not going to let her finish her assignment any moment now.
"Ino, look, Me and Itachi are just friends okay?", Sakura emphasize the word 'friends'. Ino only pout and sulk in the corner, mumbling how she failed founding the right boy for Sakura. Sakura only rolled her eyes at this, but the real question is... Did she like Itachi?
I mean, sure he can be really annoying at times but he can be really soft and caring as well. The times when they're at the infirmary flashed in her mind. He taked care of her while she was sleeping. She remembered his smile that could not be denied, his soft lips which is always curved up into a smirk, those beautiful black orbs that always glint whenever he enjoys teasing her.
Maybe she really do like Itachi.
'that under clothing you wear looks cute on you'
Nah, maybe not.
She sighed. God, she has been sighing a lot lately. She leaned on the table and rested her chin on her palm, looking out the window in her left and stare at it blankly, spacing out.
'Hello darling, i'm back'
'Yeah, could you leave me alone for a sec? I'm not in the mood'
'Sweetie, i was just wanted to help you with your problem'
'Yeah right, what problem? And what's with the sudden behaviour? It's not like you'
'Just listen to me for god's sake! I'm fucking helping you! Pay attention to me!'
'Now that's the inner i knew..'
'Ugh.. i'm getting older because of you. Anyway, don't think about your problem, which is thinking if you liked Mr. Hot Uchiha or not. And pay attention to the hottie that was staring at you while you're spacing out'
'What do you mean? What hottie?'
'Duuh, Mr. Hot Uchiha of course! Now stop spacing out and gather your courage girl!'
Sakura came back from reality and that's when she realised, that Inner was right. There's Itachi. And he was staring at her. Sakura raised her eyebrow only to be replied by a grin and a wave from the Uchiha.
Sakura smiled. Her eyebrow raised in confusion when she saw Itachi reaching something in his pocket and when he took it out it was his phone, he fiddled with it a while and suddenly took a picture of Sakura which take her off-guard.
He saw the photo result and grins, Sakura blushed madly. How dare he took a picture of her in secret?! If he had the guts to spread the picture all over the school, he'll be so dead by tomorrow. She glared daggers at Itachi while Itachi fiddled with his phone again and typed something.
That's when she realised that her phone is beeping telling her that she has one message. She took her phone from her skirt and looked who messaged her. 'itachi-kun sent you one message'.
Sakura stare her phone screen in confusion. She clicked to see what Itachi had sent her and she was startled, she couldn't stop blushing! Itachi just sent her the picture he had taken earlier! Sakura looked cute with her chin on her palm, her giant emerald orbs showed her confusion, the lighting really support her features very well.
'You look really cute in that pose so i took a picture of you. Don't worry, i wouldn't spread it all over the school. Yet.', those were the words Itachi texted below the picture.
Sakura blushed and looked at Itachi who was grinning. Suddenly he turned his head to the right and yelled something, looks like he was called by one of his friends. He waved a good-bye to Sakura and smiled a sad smile and left.
Sakura look at his retreating form, his perfect black hair dancing in the air because of the wind. Sakura smiled and looked at the message Itachi sent to her ealier and smiled.
'Do I Like Him?'
DUN!DUN!DUUUN!
Did Sakura liked Itachi or not? Hehe, well that's for me to decide and for you to find out. Sorry for the late up-date. You see, i was Indonesian, therefore i'm sorry if i mispelled some words. I studied in the eighth grade. Sadly the principal put me in the regular class, not in the billingual (special class using only english), but i always got english 100 or 92 in exams. So my english teacher was thinking if i can enter this spelling-bee competition. I said yes and i have a partner for the up-coming competition. Apparently he's a boy. That's all about what i'm doing, what about you? :D
Sakura: Aww.. You got to be paired with a boy!
Ino: Is he hot?!
Onyxeyes: Who is this 'hot' you are referred to?
Hinata: (sweatdropped)
Tenten: Please do review!
