Thanks!
#8: The Date
.
.

After the game, I ran to the secret meeting area, which is the gym's technical room and saw Sakura, Karin and Temari. "WTH?! I just said yes! And what he did is not part of the plan!" I burst out.
The three giggled. "It's so romantic when Sasuke suddenly asked you LOUDLY to be his girlfriend in front of lots of people." Temari is giggling and teasing me.
"Yeah! And you even shouted YES! Hahaha!" Karin laughed hard with some hint of excitedness.
"That's one great scene, Hinata. Congratulations! You are now officially Sasuke's girl." Sakura with her teasing grin. WTH's with them?
The laughter stopped when my phone suddenly rang. I checked who the caller was. "It's not registered." I said.
"Pick it up. It might be Sasuke-kun." Sakura said.
"What? It can't be!, I didn't give him my number."
"He has his ways." Sakura stated. I shrugged and answered the phone. The three were so silent.
"Hey, it's me. Where are you?" He asked.
"S-Sasuke?" The three nodded at me. "How'd you get my number?" I suddenly asked forgetting his first question.
"I saw you hanging out with Inuzuka." I just nodded even though he couldn't even see me. "I assumed he has your number and I'm right." He explained.
"Oh... Uhm." I was speechless.
"I was about to pick you up now. Where are you?"
"Uh.. I'll be at the gates. Just wait for me." I just answered.
"Okay. See you." He said and we both hung up. I sighed. A large one.
"I'm going to die today."
"Cheer up! At least you'll be with someone so handsome!" Karin joked. Sakura and Temari laughed at that. I rolled my eyes at them.
"Well, then. See you on Monday." Sakura said and the three went out of the technical room. I also went out and walked to the gates. Relax, Hinata. You can do this. You already know some things about Sasuke Uchiha. Everything will be fine.
"Hey, she's the girl Sasuke-kun asked out, right?" I heard whispers, some are even loud behind me. Talking about me. I don't want this kind of attention.
"Yeah. But didn't she once rejected Sasuke-kun?" The annoying voice of a girl spoke.
"Oh, you're right! But at least she made our school win!" The other girl giggled and excitedly said.
"Wow. I'm officially dating the school's most popular girl." Suddenly a SO SO SO familiar voice said in my ear. I got goosebumps so I turned to look at him.
"Don't whisper in my neck! I'm getting chills!" I shouted and everyone looked at us. He grinned. "Uh-oh."
"You're being too loud." He said, teasing me with his smirk. "Anyway. Let's get to our date already." He grabbed my hand and walked ahead. My face feels so HOT! I mean... Am I blushing?! Everyone's looking at us while we're walking. No one seemed to bother do whatever they're doing before me and Sasuke had this scene. They're like, frozen, staring at us! What's wrong with these people?
.

I don't know where we are but Sasuke's still dragging me to who knows where! We suddenly stopped and I bumped on his back that made him turn to me.
"Are you nervous?" He asked. I raised my left eyebrow.
"Of course not. Why would I be?" I said and asked back, snobbishly.
"Because you're finally dating me." I gave him daggers-look. He is so... Conceited, cocky, braggart, boastful, too proud for his sake! "Don't look at me like that. Starting today we'll be going out. Oh, and I have one rule." He proudly said. I wanted to crush that smile off his face!
"Rule? What was that for?" I asked, snobbishly again.
"Hey, it's only fair to not date any guy while you're dating me." I stared at him.
"I'm not a two-timer." I justified myself.
He raised his eyebrow at me. "I'm hungry. Let's eat first." We entered a classy restaurant and went to a vacant seat for two and of course started to order and eventually ate.
"Thanks for the treat." I said and smiled. A real one. Well, he did satisfied my stomach!
He stared at me. "Hinata." He started. I looked at him. his face is serious. What's his problem. Then he smiled. Nevermind. "Let's enjoy this first date, okay? I'll make you happy." He said and gave his rare, gorgeous smile again.
Wow. For a moment there, he made me believe him. He has a persuading power. And I wanted to enjoy this date. Who knows? There wouldn't be any opportunity to date Sasuke Uchiha if the game ended! So might as well enjoy the date like he said. I smiled at him. My true genuine smile. "I will." I said and stood up. He's like sursprised at what I did. I smiled at him again, grabbed his hand and dragged him up. "What are you waiting for? Let's start this first date!" I said, like there's going to be a second.
He smiled cutely and stood up. I dragged him up to the first mall we spotted. We entered and got in the a Game World.
"Don't tell me you don't like games?" I asked and teased him when I noticed he got confused.
He smiled playfully. "I love playing." Yes, you do. You just played a lot! Anyway, let's not talk about the plan. I just wanted to enjoy this first date! This is my FIRST date EVER. And he's the VERY FIRST guy who dated me.
We spent our whole 6 hours playing in each and every games! Well, I'm having so much fun!
We went to the last and only game we haven't tried at 7:00 pm. The Hot Hoops. Where we have to shoot the balls and beat the Defending Score. 150 shots in 40 minutes. Wow! Can we even beat that!?
"Can we beat the defending?" I asked nervously. Sasuke smirked at me and shrugged. "We might lose! We're going to pay a lot if we lose!" I nagged.
He smiled again. "Trust me." He said simply and inserted some tokens in. He stretched his arms got ready to shoot. Time starts NOW!
I watched Sasuke shoot every ball continuously. As in, he NEVER missed one. In 5 minutes she shoot 20 balls! Nice one! He's just so amazing! How can he do that?! He's really into Basketball! He's doing great!
20 minutes passed he still isn't missing any balls! He's just too great! A lot of people whether in the Game World or not, started to look and watch Sasuke shoot the basketball. Everyone got amazed for in 30 minutes he shoots 193 balls! I'm definitely sure we're going to win! A lot of girls are all watching too! And they're squealing, shouting, giggling or whatever annoying sounds they're creating! They're too annoying! Don't get me wrong, I'm not jealous!
Anyway, isn't Sasuke getting tired?! He has a lot of stamina, huh! Wow! He's really starting to amaze me.
And 40 minutes ended! He earned 199 shots! He's sooooo GREAT. Adding the sweat, he still looks exceptionally handsome! He turned to me and smiled.
"Well?" He teased. Some people we're shouting and teasing us.
"Congratulations!" I just said.
"C'mon! Say something to your handsome boyfriend!" A not so old woman shouted and the others demanded too. I looked at Sasuke and he smiled teasingly.
"Okay." I sighed. "You were great. And... And... You look... Handsome?" I said, unknowingly. Some squealed and teased us to no end.
"Come here." He said and dragged me towards him and hug me. Shouts, squeal and giggles started to became louder. "That's too tiring, you know. I need comfort." He said with his husky voice. Another round of giggles, shouts and teasing were heard.
He hugged me for, I guess 3 minutes and we seperated. "How about a kiss?!" Another shouted but I don't know where it came from. That's too much! I don't really like him.
"Aww! Just one!" Another shouted! They're too persistent! Tsk! Might as well give what they want.
I looked at Sasuke and nodded at him, his eyebrow twitched not knowing what I was about to do... And...

I kissed his left cheek then he froze. It's just a peck on the cheek, idiot! "H-Hey!" I playfully nudged him.
He smirked and teased me with those onyx eyes. And another shouts boomed. This day would be memorable! A guy suddenly went to us holding a BIG Patrick Star stuff toy! OMG! I love Patrick Star! Aww! Is that Sasuke's prize?! I'm so jealous! He gave it to Sasuke and left.
"Wow. I'm so jealous. I love Patrick Star." I said and smiled.
"Then it's yours." He stated, I stared at him and he nodded. "I thought you love it?" He asked.
I nodded. "Do you really want to give that to me?" I asked back.
"Of course. I wouldn't know where to put it." WTH!? He's a player, Joon Hee! But, then, accept the stuff toy! He's handing the Patrick Star stuff toy to me.
"Thanks, Sasuke." I said trying to sound grateful.
"Another kiss would be enough." He joked. I gave him a death glare. "Just kidding."
"But really. Thanks for this." I said, sounding sweet. "No one EVER gave me a stuff toy. Especially, Patrick Star." I smiled my best. He smiled back.
"Don't mention it." He's such a cute guy. Just for now, okay? "So, let's go home?" He said. I nodded.
We walked our way home. We became really silent while walking home. I don't know what to say.
"Well... I should go. I still have to rest and it's getting really late." I immediately looked at my watch. It's already 10:05 pm!
"Oh, yeah! You should! Sorry for keeping you this late." I said.
"It's okay." He replied. "Hinata.." He half-whispered. I turned to him and saw sincerity in his eyes for whatever he's about to say.
"Yeah?"
"I... Nothing. I'm going."
Hm. What was he about to say? "Okay.. Thanks again."
"I'll see you at school." He lastly said and then walked away.
Hm. I now believe that I am a great actress.
Oh my gosh... What now? Just when I was about to think how I really feel, my phone suddenly rang.
"Where are you, Hinata?!" Temari yelled. "Your mom said you're not yet home!"
"I just got home. I'm tired, Tem-chan." I answered.
"You just got home?! Your date lasted for..." She paused. Maybe counting how many hours we spent dating. "8 hours!? What did you two do?!" She asked so loud, I have to really get the phone off my ear.
"Calm down. We just played in the Game World. You know, the game zone in the mall." I explained to shut Temari up. She could be really really loud sometimes.
"Woah! So how was it?" She still asked for the detail.
"Temari... Why don't you just go here tomorrow? It's really late. And I'm tired. Let's both rest, okay?" I said feeling sleepy. I'm really tired. It's all because of playing the whole day.
"Oh. Okay. We'll drop by tomorrow. See you then." Temari's voice became soft. "Bye, Hina." She said and we both pushed the end button. I'll have to reserve my energy for tomorrow.
