I kept thinking about what had just happened. Sasuke Uchiha gave me chocolates, on Valentine's day. When everyone filled in after lunch it almost was like it didn't happen. During class I looked across the classroom to see if I could read something off of Sasuke's face, but it was blank as always. The rest of the day passed by uneventfully, Sasuke was doted on by the girls and he didn't look at me a single time. When the school bell rang Sasuke disappeared in the swarm of girls leaving only guys in the classroom. I sighed watching Sasuke leave trying to make sense of what had happened earlier in the day.
"Sighing, Disappointed your boyfriend left you?" Kiba teased me messing up my hair.
"No way, I'm just confused what happened." I said trying to fix my hair, knowing that my efforts were probably futile.
"Figure out what, he gave you Valentine's Day chocolate, it doesn't get more simple that." Kiba said matter of factly way. He shoved all of his stuff from his desk into his bag.
"It probably was a dare, like why would he give Valentine's Day chocolate to me." I told him also putting my stuff in my backpack.
"A dare? Sasuke doesn't have anyone close enough to him to dare him." Shikamaru added in.
"Maybe not a dare, but maybe a prank?" Choiji suggested much to my relief, at least someone was backing me up.
"Yeah, it's definitely a prank. That bastard hates me." I snapped on Choiji's idea, Shikamaru simply shrugged and dropped the subject.
"Wanna go to the arcade?" Shikamaru asked, we all nodded in agreement.
We decided to go to a McDonalds first, we each got a burger and some fries and ate on the walk to the arcade. My eyes lit up when I saw the brand new arcade. Shikamaru said that it was cool, but I could have never imagined this. Gaming machines everywhere, it was beautiful. A couple other kids were already in the arcade, some of the younger kids playing the claw game while most of the older kids were playing the shooter games.
"Heh, I'm not waiting for you guys!" Kiba said as he ran off to his first machine entering his coins into the slot and beginning the game.
"Let's not waste any time then." I said laughing at Kiba's enthusiasm running to join him. Choiji and Shikamaru joined us at the machines around us.
We spent the rest of the day playing games and loitering before deciding to head home. Kiba and Choiji split first leaving me and Shikamaru to walk by ourselves for a while. We walked in silence since Shikamaru wasn't really one for talking and I was tired anyways.
"You have to consider the possibility it's not a joke." Shikamaru broke the silence. Even though he was being pretty vague, I knew exactly what he was talking about.
"You don't really think he can be serious, do you?" I entertained the thought that Sasuke actually was serious, but I really couldn't imagine that. We fought all the time, and we hated each other.
"I don't know, if I hadn't seen it happen, I would think its a joke. But there is no reason for Sasuke to that, he isn't really one to think practical jokes are funny." Shikamaru stopped walking to think, I turned around to face him.
"I don't want to think about it." I turned away and started walking again.
"Okay... You might want to know your answer though." Shikamaru caught up to me after he spoke.
The rest of our walk was spent in silence, the only other thing that was said was bye when we left each other. I still had a ways to walk to get home. The sky got darker as I approached the little corner of the word that was all mine. Two stories up a little apartment, the view was of a road and nothing special, but still this apartment made me feel at home.
I prepared my dinner of instant ramen and ate it in the dimly lit room. I threw my chopsticks in the sink for me to wash later and threw away the styrofoam bowl. I grabbed my bag and started my homework, even though I wasn't that good at school I tried to get the concepts. I couldn't afford a tutor or anything but I could at least try. A minimal amount. I stared at my homework with the confusing formulas with way to many letters and decided to stop for the day. I may not succeed but at least I try.
I wondered to myself what I should do some I wasn't going to do homework. There wasn't really anything to do, and since I ruled out all other possibilities sleep was the only one left. I took off all my clothes in the bathroom and turned on the water. I waved my hand in the water until it was warm an hopped in.
They say showers are the best place for thinking, so I guess this would be the best time to do it. What on earth was Sasuke thinking? I mean it could be a joke like Choiji said, but why would he do that. It's not like it really got on my nerves or anything. Sure, it was a little embarrassing, but it was probably more embarrassing for Sasuke than it was for me. Maybe he's just crazy, a crazy bastard. Although he does seem pretty sand despite being annoying. And now I have more questions than I have answers. Of course. I turned off the water from the shower and dried myself with a towel. I guess people were wrong about showers being the best place to think. It didn't help me at all.
I returned to my room throwing my towel on a chair before flopping on my bed. I let my eyes close and wrapped myself in my blankets. Sasuke, could he really be serious?
