Almost near the end. Thank you for the patience!

The Confession and the Ball
.
.
.
Two weeks later and, yes my birthday is getting nearer. So as the ball. Yeah, right. It just happened that the Ball fell on my birthday. Huh... Of course, no one has to ask me to be their partner because as everyone had told... I was officially Sasuke's partner though we haven't announced what really was between us. Sasuke never bother telling them what's the score. Nor is he being rushing on asking me to be his girlfriend.
"Hina. It's time." Sakura said as I was checking on her account on Blogger about me and Sasuke again. The three are again on my room and we're currently planning the most essential part of our game. The time when I will break Sasuke's heart.
"At exactly 12:00, I predicted that he's going to do something and will ask you to be his girlfriend already." Sakura stated.
"How did you know all that?" I asked curiously.
"Sakura is too smart. You know, she's like a psychic." Temari said jokingly.
"Hahaha! Yeah, right!" Karin exclaimed. "This is so going to be fun! Hina-chan, bring him down!"
Temari, Sakura and I stared at Karin. I looked down and remembered what Itachi said.
"I can't do this anymore." I whispered as I felt their stares at me. "I quit. I don't want to continue this anymore." I said seriousness all over my face. "Sasuke loves me truly now. And I don't want to hurt him. I can't."
"Sasuke loves you?! Who told you?!" Sakura shouted. Good thing my family's all off to Sapporo
"Who?! Sasuke?!" Temari asked, I nodded. "Hah! Of course he's lying! Why would he love a simple girl like you?!"
"He didn't really fell for you! He fell for what we've mde you." Karin yelled. I don't think I can handle them when they're mad.
"If you quit then we'll be the one to continue. But don't expect we won't include your name." Sakura warned.
"Because this is also your idea. And you're going to hurt Sasuke whether you like it or not." Temari again.
They all looked at me. "Let's go, girls." Sakura said and they all went out. They will do something. I'm so sorry, Sasuke!

The day of the ball came. I was about to go home to prepare already when I saw Naruto standing at the corner of my locker. His face was serious. I can tell that he's mad.
"Hey." He greeted but not smiling.
"Hey." I bowed my head.
"What exactly are you planning, Hinata?" He asked, I looked at him with a surprised expression. How did he know?
"Excuse me? I don't know what you're talking about." I said innocently.
"I saw you with Sasuke's three exe's. Haruno Sakura, Sabaku Temari and Uzumaki Karin, what's the meaning of it?" My eyes widened when I heard that. "I knew it. You're planning something."
"I quit already, Naruto-kun. I have nothing to do with it already." I said while I felt my eyes beginning to become hot.
"You actually wanted to get revenge on Sasuke, right?" He blurted. I stared at him. "So, it's true. What can you get by doing that?"
"Naruto-kun..." My voice started to falter.
"Don't give me that look, Hinata-chan!" He yelled. His usual friendly aura is gone. "Why did you teamed up with those three?! You're not the Hinata I met anymore... You changed... For the worse." I felt tears rolled down my cheeks. "Sasuke thought you're the first serious relationship he had... But what? You're just fooling him... You made this all up. You're messing with his life!" I can't talk anymore. Every word Naruto is saying was circling on my head. "Just tell the truth, Hinata... Prevent Sasuke from doing something he'll regret..." He warned then he walked off. I wiped my tears with my left palm.
I have to call Sasuke. I have to tell him now. Or maybe I should go to the Ball early and talk to him. I don't need to change dress. I don't need to dress with a gown. What's important is I should tell Sasuke before Sakura, Temari and Karin.
I immediately went home and changed my clothes, but I didn't used the gown I was supposed to wear. I dialed Sasuke's number. Pick it up! C'mon!
"Hey?" Sasuke answered.
"Sasuke! Thank goodness!" I yelled.
"What? Why? Are you alright?" He asked.
"I have to tell you something." I panicked.
"Huh? Why now? We'll meet later." He said.
"No! I have to tell you now! Let's meet already!" I was really panicking and my heart was beating so fast.
"Wow, you're excited to see me. Okay... Hey, look, I need to go now. I'm preparing something for you."
"What?! No, Sasuke! Don't-"
The line was cut. Oh, no! What now?! Sasuke already prepared something!
I immediately went out of our house and started walking back to school. I might catch Sasuke earlier than the three! I have to!
I arrived at school and immediately went to look for Sasuke.
The party already started at exactly 9:00 pm and I still can't spot Sasuke. I was hiding at the gym's second floor, nobody should see me. I immediately saw Temari, Karin and Sakura. Sasuke, where are you!?
I went out of the 2nd floor and everyone who saw me were all curious of course why I'm not wearing a gown. "Have you seen Sasuke?" I asked the guy who was near the punch.
"Uh, no. I think he hasn't arrived yet." The guy answered. I smiled at him and went to the buffet table.
I went out of the gym. It was so dark and I saw Naruto walking towards the gym. I hid before he spotted me until he went in. I stayed at the dark side of the gym waiting for Sasuke. I was sitting at the corner where no one can see me.
I didn't know I fell asleep and I looked at my phone and saw that it was already 11:40. I fell asleep that long?! Argh! I went inside and immediately saw Naruto. He's glaring at me and I just nodded at him. He was like curious at what I'm wearing.
I continued to walk until I felt my phone vibrated. It was Sasuke. I looked around to see if he was just somewhere here. I answered the phone. "Sasuke."
"Hey, where are you?" He asked.
"Not important. Where are you?" I asked back, completely forgetting what he just asked.
"It's a secret." I felt he was smirking right now.
"C'mon, Sasuke, I need to know where you are." I said seriously.
"Wait, talk to you later, okay? Just go near the stage so I can see you easily." I was about to interrupt but then he cut the line. Damn! There's no use... Sasuke's going to be hurt even if I didn't want to. I went near the stage but not too close. Just good enough to see what will be presented in it.
I didn't saw Sakura, Temari or Karin anywhere. Maybe they're planning something right now.
"Hey guys!" Out from the curtains of the gym was Kiba. He was smiling cutely and he was holding a microphone. The music stopped and everybody looked at Kiba. "Since it's just 15 minutes before 12:00 we'd like to show a special number dedicated to of course, someone special for the guy who was about to present this." Kiba explained.
"Aww! Bring it on!" Some guys shouted. Everyone started to have the excited aura.
Kiba laughed softly and introduced the performer. "Everyone, let's give it up for the Basketball team Captain! The Ultimate Dream Boy! Uchiha Sasuke!" My eyes went large when I heard that. This is what Naruto-kun talking about!
Sasuke went out of the curtain where Kiba came from. He looked like a real-life Prince... But a Prince I can never have. "Hi. I think you all knows to whom I dedicate this special number, and wherever you are right now, Ms. Hyuuga Hinata... I hope you can watch me..." Kiba slapped hands with Sasuke. Sasuke went closer to the band set and took the guitar. He sat beside the drums and started to play the guitar. Kiba took the chair behind the organ and started to play it, too, accompanying Sasuke.
Sasuke: It's undeniable... That we should be together...
It's unbelievable how I used to say that I'd fall never...
The basis you need to know, if you don't know just how I feel,
Then let me show you now that I'm for real...
If all things in time, time will reveal... (Kiba: Yeah...)
One... you're like a dream come true...
Two... just wanna be with you...
Three... girl it's plain to see... that you're the only one for me...
Four... repeat steps one through three...
Five... make you fall in love with me...
If ever I believe my work is done... then I'll start back at one
(Kiba: yeah)
I can really feel the sincerity of Sasuke's voice... My eyes were started to fill with tears... Hinata... You're a bad girl...
Kiba: So incredible... The way things work themselves out...
And all emotional, once you know what it's all about, babe...
Sasuke: And undesirable... for us to be apart...
Never would have made it very far...
Cause you know, YOU'VE GOT THE KEYS TO MY HEART...
Sasuke was enjoying the music... And I felt that what he was singing is what he really wants to say to me... I'm so sorry...
Kiba: One... you're like a dream come true
Two... just wanna be with you
Three... girl it's plain to see... That you're the only one for me
Sasuke: Four... Repeat steps one through three
Five... Make you fall in love with me
If ever I believe my work is done... Then I'll start Back at One...
Kiba: Say farewell to the dark of night... I see the coming of the sun...
I feel like a little child... whose life has just begun...
Sasuke: You came and breathed new life
Into this lonely heart of mine...
You threw out the life line... just in the Nick of Tiimmmeeee...
I felt like crying right now. I was so stupid and I felt numb. So I let my tears fell on my cheeks.
Sasuke: One... you're like a dream come true
Two... just wanna be with you
Three... girl it's plain to see... that you're the only one for me...
Four... repeat steps one through three
Five... make you fall in love with me
If ever I believe my work is done... then I'll start Back at One...
Everyone clapped their hands and some shouted and cheered for the perfect performance. What Sasuke did was what every girl would dream. And every girl would want to be in my place right now.
Sasuke stood from the chair and left the guitar on it's stand. Kiba walked towards him and gave him a microphone. "Thanks." Kiba smiled at Sasuke. "Anyway, Hinata... Uh... Wherever you are please show yourself." Sasuke said. "I wanted to ask this now... So please let me... Hinata, you already knew a lot about me... And I hope I proved you how much I love you...?"
He sighed. A big one.
"I usually never ask a question I don't know the answer to... So at the risk of being rejected twice, I'm going to ask you again...
Hyuuga Hinata... Will you be my girlfriend...?" More tears rolled down my cheeks as I heard Sasuke said that...
A spotlight spotted me and Sasuke saw me because of it. The people slowly moved to give me and Sasuke space. He was a bit aurprised to see me not dressed with a gown and of course, crying.
I was crying right now and I can't stop it. Before Sasuke could walk towards me, I walked towards the stage and went up beside him... I was still crying and I saw Sakura, Temari and Karin. What are they planning right now?
"Why are you crying?" Sasuke asked. He gave the microphone to the dj and held my hands. Some were cheering us and some were squealing but he never bothered to look at them. He was focusing on me...
I shook my head sidewards. "Sorry..." I whispered.
"It's okay... It's okay of you can't still answer me... Just don't cry... Did I say something wrong?" He uttered. "Tell me."
I still shooked my head. "I'm so sorry, Sasuke..." I mouthed.
"For what? Tell me." He insisted.
"Sasuke..." I whispered. "I'm so sorry..." I glanced at the three girls just down the stage. Their faces were sad, even though we fought earlier I do think they wouldn't execute whatever they had planned. "I lied to you... I fooled you... I'm so sorry..." Sasuke's face was blank. "I'm so sorry I made you fall in love with me... We made it all up... Everything was planned for... Even you, falling in love with me..." Sasuke's eyes widened. He can't believe it. I faced the crowd since they were all shocked at the revelation.
I inhaled and looked at the crowd. I'm taking up all the courage to face them and to admit I fooled Sasuke.
"Everyone, listen up!" I started. "Everything I showed Uchiha Sasuke was a lie... We made it all up to get revenge... Because he is a certified player and he played with girl's hearts... We planned to break him, we planned to make Uchiha Sasuke fall in love with me." I pointed out the three and the spotlight was focused on them. I looked behind and saw Sasuke still wasn't able to recover from what I had just said. I wiped my tears and continued talking. "I'm so sorry... I know what we did was extremely wrong... But we just thought we can make Sasuke change for the better. And we also wanted him to taste his own medicine, to make him feel what he just did, and for those hearts he just broken... I'm sorry."
Everyone went silent until a guy shouted. "Hey, Hinata!"
I looked at him. "Yeah?" I asked.
"You just ruined it!" Then, he threw a pitcher of orange juice to me. I gasped at how cold it was. Sakura, Temari and Karin immediately went to my side and wiped the juice from my face and dress using their handkerchiefs.
"What the hell?!" Sakura yelled. "How dare you do that to Hinata?!"
"So are you telling us you never lied before?! You never fooled anyone before!?" Temari yelled too. They were protecting me.
"It was not Hina's fault, okay?! Uchiha Sasuke lied so many times and hurt people so many times! Why didn't you threw juice on him?!" Karin looked at Sasuke and faced the crowd again.
"You're all scums!" Sakura shouted again and they assisted me on going down from the stage. "You do not deserve this, Hina-chan. We went out of the gym. I still turned to see Sasuke one last time. His face was still blank. I do think he's still heartbroken and I don't think he'll be able to get over it that fast. I believe him when he said he loves me.
Ino was waiting for us on the gates and looked at me with sympathy instead of anger.
