Chapter 2- "An Almost Twisted Lunch-Date"
A few months later. Sasuke began to hang around with Hinata little by little and it only made Sakura more and more angry that Sasuke was with another girl. They were getting closer as friends and they always sat together at lunch, Sakura couldn't believe it as she tried to get Sasuke to come back to their table but he refused. He said he needed a break from his fangirls and he just wanted some time away to get to know Hinata.
"But Sasukeeee..." Sakura complained, "I like sitting with you and I want to go to the movies!"
"Sorry, Sakura..." he replied, "Hinata and I already made plans for that..."
"What?!?!" Sakura couldn't believe it, how could she lose out to Hinata?, "What am I doing wrong?!?! Sasuke, I want to go to the movies!"
Sasuke ignored her and went back to Hinata as they both listened to his ipod. Ino sighed. They were in their third fight of the week and Sakura was getting worse with the begging and the complaining to where Ino couldn't take it anymore. She took Sakura to the side and glared at her.
"Do you obviously know what's going on?" Ino sighed, "Do you realize that you try too hard to get with Sasuke? It annoys him!"
"What?!?! You're the one that does it more!" Sakura yelled, "What makes you so much better?"
Sasuke sighed as he looked at Hinata, "Look at the two of them...One boy and it all goes to hell."
Hinata giggled, "It's kind of funny to see it happen..."
Sasuke laughed, "You girls and your drama..."
Sasuke and Hinata laughed as Sakura ripped Sasuke away from his ipod and Sakura dragged out into the hallway to talk with him. He shook his head and looked back at Hinata who was eating her soup and waiting for him to come back, Sakura looked at him like she was going to kill him and Sasuke just kept shaking his head.
Sasuke looked back at Hinata, "Do you mind? I have to get back to Hinata..."
"Sasuke, how come Hinata has to be the source of everything you do?" Sakura replied, she was in one fit, "She better not think about dating you!"
Sasuke sighed like he had to explain everything 500 times just for people to get it, "Hinata and I are friends were not dating..."
"It doesn't look that way, you treat her special!"
"Sounds to me that you're jealous." Sasuke was really serious, "Listen to me, I don't want Hinata to get caught up in any of this..."
"Sasuke I really like you! Why won't you give it a chance?"
He sighed again, "...I don't think I'm ready to make a commitment to anyone yet, I need more time..."
Sakura looked up, "But Sasuke I..."
"Is this going to take much longer? I need to help Hinata with English, she's having a hard time in that class..."
Sakura turned her back and looked away as she closed her eyes. Sasuke knew it was all jealousy and she couldn't hide it, she could be mad at him all she wanted but Sasuke didn't care, it was getting to be a real pain in the butt and he began to walk back to the table as Hinata split her cookie and gave him half. Sasuke sighed again.
"Sakura looked really upset...I guess it's my fault..." Hinata was concerned, "Now she probably hates me..."
Sasuke bit into his cookie, "I'm sorry Hinata, she just needs to get over the fact that I can't date her, she takes everything too seriously..."
Hinata stared at her book as she did her homework, "Ino and her fight constantly and...I wonder if I caused it to be worse, this is really my fault..."
Sasuke put his arm on her shoulder, "It's not your fault, they always do that..."
Hinata blushed deeply as she put her hand on Sasuke's hand, he began to almost smile as Hinata looked away. He quickly took it away and began to stammer, he finally got his words right and began helping Hinata with her homework.
"I'm sorry Hinata, I did the wrong thing..." Sasuke smiled a little, "Are you okay?"
"Yes" she replied quietly, "I'm doing okay..."
Sasuke looked at her for a little while, she couldn't help but blush further and it amused Sasuke. Sakura watched from afar in a jealous daze, she wanted Sasuke more than anything but that wasn't going to work now that he had his eye on Hinata. Hinata was a quiet girl and Sasuke didn't talk very much and it lead people into thinking that they would be the cutest couple.
Sasuke looked over at Sakura as he turned back, "Don't worry Hinata, I know you want to blame yourself and I'm going to be hearing it afterschool."
"But I caused it, I-I'm sorry Sasuke..."
Sasuke did a half smile, "It's alright, it's just jealousy..."
Hinata smiled, "Well if you say so..."
Sasuke began writing on a piece of paper as he slid it to Hinata. She didn't eye it at first but when she did she couldn't believe it:
Want to go to the beach on Thursday?
Hinata wanted to say yes but she forgot that her father was going to go out and Neji wasn't going to say yes. She pouted and sighed. It wasn't fair, she had never been out before and she didn't want the chance to go by.
She sighed, "Sasuke, Hanabi can't watch herself and what makes...you think Neji's going to do it?"
Sasuke looked up, Darn, I forgot how stubborn Neji can be...I guess we'll have to pick another time."
"Wait! I can convince Neji to do it..." Hinata wasn't sure how but she was going to find a way, "I'll be right back..."
Hinata ran out of the lunch room and bumped into Neji who wasn't happy to see her at all. Neji folded his arms and waited, she wasn't sure how to put her words but she had no choice and looked at Neji who already figured things out.
"Alright, something is going on because you came running to me..." he was serious, "What do you want?"
"Umm...um, could you watch Hanabi for me? I can't miss this important thing with Sasuke!" Hinata smiled, "I really need to go with him..."
Neji looked at her and sighed, "Why do I have to that? That's your job and Hiashi said..."
Hinata grabbed Neji's collar and begged him, "Please? Please? Please? Can you cover for me?"
Neji got away from Hinata, "I thought Naruto was your one and only..."
"It isn't that way anymore..." Hinata flashed Neji a cute look, "Please? Please?
Neji almost smirked, "That is your most pathetic attempt yet, I'm not going to do it."
Hinata looked down and removed something from coat pocket, it was a package of some sort. She opened the envelope to reveal an embarrassing photo of Neji in a red dress and make-up, Neji cringed and couldn't believe it. He thought no one could see him in his room when he was doing the dare at his sleepover.
Neji tried to get it back, "Hinata don't show it to Tenten! I know that's what you want to do..."
"Well, if Hanabi isn't taken care of then I'll have to do it..." Hinata smiled, "Hiashi isn't going to let me go and I really want to go..."
"Oooh, fine!" Neji swiped back the photos, "You win, I can't believe it either!"
Hinata giggled as she went running back to Sasuke with the good news. She had wanted to teach Neji a lesson for awhile but she was too afraid to. Now she had gone up against him and things were going her way. She began smiling and grinning when she bumped into Sakura and Ino.
She stood there and smiled as Sakura glared.
"It's not over, Hinata..." Sakura replied, "No one takes Sasuke away from me."
Hinata smiled, "Well, getting mad at me won't do anything..."
She walked past the two girls as she ran to Sasuke and he smiled, they would be going to the beach on Thursday and she couldn't wait. She knew getting her first boyfriend wouldn't be to far away. Sasuke smiled a little, he seemed amused by all the excitement.
That's Chapter 2, Please R&R.
