Crrrrrng! Crrrrrng! Crrrrrrng!

The noise from the clock woke me up. It's already 6 in the morning. I need to prepare for school now. I have good news to share to my friends. This is exciting! So I immediately jumped out of the bed and went to the bathroom. I looked at the mirror and saw a cheerful face, not a stressed one. Great! Everything's back to normal.

"You looked so happy. I'm the reason why, I guess," Sasuke said.

I looked at him and smiled. "Yes. Thank you!."

"What I did is the right thing. You don't have to thank me. We're quits now."

I shook my head. "Not yet."

He looked confused. "Why not?"

"You said you'll help me with Shino. You still have to do that," I reminded him.

"Oh, I almost forgot. Fine. I'll find a right time to do my promise."

"Good," then I stood up and grabbed my bag. "Is it okay if I leave first?"

He nodded. "Sure. I still have to fix my room. Go now."

"Okay. I'll go now!" then I left.

Lunch break. We all went to the cafeteria right after the teacher dismissed us. We ordered our food and sat around the table that we always use. I was about to take a bite of my sandwich when Ino said something.

"Has something happened? You looked different today," she said.

"She's right. I've never seen you that happy. What happened?" Kiba asked.

I shook my head. "Nothing, really. Does there have to be a reason to be happy?"

"In your case, yes. Last week, you were so stressed, like someone's annoying you from time to time. Tell us. What happened?" Shikamaru insisted.

"I swear. It's nothing. Why? Aren't you happy that I'm like this?"

"We're happy. We're very happy," Shino said.

I looked at him and smiled. "I know. I'm also happy."

"But I think this has something to do with Sasuke," Ino said.

I nodded. "Partly yes."

"Speaking of Sasuke, why aren't you with him today?" Shikamaru asked.

"From now on, I'll be joining you again. There's no reason for me to be with him now."

He looked surprise. "Did you break up with him?"

"I hope you did," someone said.

We all looked up and saw a girl. She's cute but not that tall. It's my first time seeing her but she's already angry at me. Did I do something wrong to her?

"W-Who are you?" I asked.

"Who am I?... You don't know who I am?" she looked insulted.

I just nodded. "Yes. I really don't know you."

"So Sasuke didn't tell you that he has a girlfriend."

A girlfriend? "What?"

"Fine. I think I'll just introduce myself to you. I'm Sakura from Class D. I'm Sasuke's girlfriend. I'm the girlfriend of the guy you flirted with."

Ino stood up. "I'm sorry but my bestfriend didn't flirt with your boyfriend. Oh! Is he really your boyfriend? But why didn't he tell us about you? Everybody knows that he's been single for three years now."

"That is because we want to hide our relationship from all of you."

"Really? Or is it because he wanted to hide the fact that you are his girlfriend? Who knows? Maybe you're a big embarrassment to him."

I stood up. "Ino, stop it," I said.

"How dare you talk to me like that?" Sakura said. She's pissed off.

"Please stop this," I repeated then bowed down. "Sorry for what my friend has said. Sorry."

"Hinata! You shouldn't apologize to her," Ino said.

"She should because she took Sasuke from me," Sakura said.

"She took nothing from you," someone familiar said. It's Sasuke. "I've never been yours to start with."

"What?"

"Who told you that you're my girlfriend? We're over. You're just my ex-girlfriend. Remember that." Wow. He sounded very cool.

"But you said you're not going to leave me. You promised that, didn't you?"

"Promises are meant to be broken."

She shook her head. "No. I trust you, Sasuke. I'm sure you're just using that girl to-"

"Who told you he's using me?" Shoot! Why did I say that? Aish! You're really stupid, Hinata!

She looked at me angrily. "You're not his type, okay? Do you really think that he'll be serious with you? Wake up, girl. That's not going to happen."

Then I saw Sasuke stood beside me. "You're not my type."

"Please. Stop this joke. Fine. I'll admit. I'm very, very jealous. So just dump her now. You don't need her."

"I need her." Why did it sound true?

"No, you don't," she insisted.

Few seconds passed before he answered. "Then look. Watch carefully," then he did something that made us all shocked.
