Sakura
"This is the life." I exhaled in pure bliss, as I fan myself in the hot tub. I place my head on the floor, taking in a deep breath. I never felt so, free ever since three years ago. I closed my eyes for a minute, letting the stem rise to my face.
"For once I agree with you, forehead." I looked up to see two pairs of baby blue eyes. Ino step in beside me in the tub and shivered at the suddened change of temperature. Tenten quickly followed and sat in front of me.
"I got to thank Hinata when she comes back to see us.." Tenten beamed as she took off her hair tie. Spreading her finger, making the elastic land on her arm.
Ino nodded in agreement. I smirked and snorted. "We wouldn't be in this mess if a certain someone has better hearing skills."
"And here I thought the fighting queen is actually good at everything.." Ino began to giggle.
I watched in amusement as I watch Tentens face become light red to a fresh ripe tomatoes color.
"S-shut up!" She yelled splashing hot water in our direction.
The next few days were like this. Laughing and just having fun, without worrying or thinking about the grudge that happens three years ago. The burden, the regret, the pain; was lifted off from my shoulder.
Our shoulders.
Sasuke.
Day 1
"S-shut up!"
Shikamaru groaned as he banged his head on the table, making papers fly everywhere while the pencils fall down to the floor.
"Hey! You're making a mess!" Neji growled.
"I can't think.. Hearing the girls laughing and giggling the next room doesn't help one bit." Shikamaru hissed, bending down picking up the paper and pencil.
I raised my eyebrow, sometimes I wonder if Shikamaru is Snore lax from this cartoon called Pokémon. All that animal does, is sleep all day long. Too lazy to do anything.
"We're listing things out that three years ago, that may have a connection to the girls." Neji sighed, quickly jotting something down.
"We would find out faster if you'd actually help us." I stared at Shikamaru, taunting.
"What did we have so far?" Shikamaru asked ignoring my glares, grabbing a piece of paper.
"I just wrote down when you guys enrolled to my school." Neji said.
"That's a good start." Shikamaru respond.
Day 2
"Hey, our class gone to Hawaii during spring break for two weeks. Maybe we met them there?" Shikamaru asked. I shook my head, the girls look too poor to be able to go somewhere that involves with a plane.
"Tenten does not seem like a bikini, swimsuit wearing type of girl." Neji argued, taking a sip of water.
"Although Sakura and Ino looked like that type? I don't know about you guys but I know very well how capable they are in dragging in Tenten in these type of situations. Don't get in wrong, Tenten looks very strong, but one things for sure. Sakura and Ino, if they work together they can overcome any obstacles Tenten put in front of them." Shikamaru remarked.
I began to shiver at the thought of Sakura and Ino jumping on Tenten, holding onto her foot as they dragged her away laughing evilly. While Tenten tried to stop by grabbing onto something, unfortunately for her there was nothing to grab onto, so there was only nail scrapping on the floor.
Day 3
"What about that time we went to Korea to see a Korean band named B2ST perform?" I asked, twirling with the pencil around my right hand.
"Nope, Tenten hates listening to music that she can't understands." Neji said, scribbling the idea out.
"How the hell do you know that Tenten hates foreign music?" Shikamaru asked, a smirk begning to form.
"I... Well.. S-she told me. Yes, Tenten told me." Neji said reganing his composture.
I hold in my laughter, however Neji caught it me rolling my eyes.
"What? I'm not saying it's bad to hire some guy to get information on a girl you like." I muffled.
"Yeah." Shikamaru acknowledge, catching on quickly on my joke. "I don't think you're a stalker at all."
Neji groaned and threw a pencil in our direction.
"Shut up."
Day 4
I shook my head as I tried to concentrate on the piece of paper in front of me. Unsuccessful, I threw the pencil behind me and crumpled the paper in a form of a ball. I rested my head on my hand, closing my eyes.
"I can't remember anything. All I can remember is... that prank we made, making our parents so mad, they forced us to go to some dumb camp as punishment." Shikamaru yawned closing his eyes.
...
...
-Enter the scene where all the guys snap their head looking at each other.-
"You don't think those girls are..?" Neji questioned looking bewildered.
"It can't be.." I thought. The image of a black haired girl with thick glasses appeared before me.
FlashBack
"You got to be joking!" I hissed, giving the Uchiha glare, anybody would have chicken down and coward away like they should be. However, in front of me were the creators of the infamous glare. someone had more experience of using that look.
My parents.
"I'm not, you're going to this camp if it's the last thing to do." My father; Fugaku uchiha said. His voice remained calm as he stared into my eyes, crooking his eyebrow.
"Whose idea was this?" Shikamaru grumbled looking in disgust as he examined the tacky camp uniform.
"Why it's your wonderful brother; Itachi! He mentioned this last week!" Mikoto uchiha, my mother clapped her hand together while putting on a happy expression, unable to realize the anger building up in my eyes.
Neji remained quiet, but I know that he's planning to murder someone right now.
"I'm going to kill him.." I thought, crackling my knuckles.
XOXOX
I crossed my arm in a room full of arts and crafts, not letting myself yawn. My father think that separating me and my friends into different classes would be discipline.
"Umm, can you pass the glue?" I looked over to see a girl shorter than me by a head. Her messy black hair covered her eyes along with her glasses. Overall she looks really plain. Nothing caught my interest.
"Hn." I passed the glue and resumed glaring at the art teacher.
A half hour later, I realize that the majority of the girls are looking over my direction, glaring at a particular someone to my right. I noticed that it was the same girl sitting beside me. I mentally laughed at myself, at how determined she's into her work as she's unable to notice the stares.
Each day I catch myself watching in amusement as she cuts the blank piece of paper into the shape of a bird with determination in her eyes.
"Nice drawing you have there." I said as I put down the eraser next to her, that she dropped.
The girl looked shocked as she mumbled a thank you.
From here on out, we began talking to each other simply by saying hi, to a good morning to a full conversation.
I didn't have any sort of feeling towards her, I didn't even have the chance to see if I had any feeling towards her.
XOXOX
"Hey, there are three girls looking over here." Neji smirked. It was around twelve in the afternoon, the only time I can hang out with them is during lunch and night-time.
"Wanna test out, to see if we lost our charm?" I asked already standing up from the chair.
"You're on." Shikamaru walked towards a blue hair chick and they began to walk off towards the cooking room. I grinned and shook my head as I grabbed a red head, wraping my arm around her shoulder.
"So he knew that the cooking room is empty now huh?" Neji said under his breath.
"Looks like it." I reached under the girl chin and I was about to kiss her, than the girl motion me to stop.
"Be right back." The girl moved away and ran with her friend towards a certain direction.
XOXOX
The bet I made with the guys never got accomplished, since the red-head girl never came back.
Arts and crafts ended, so I can no longer see that weird black hair girl. My father finally got somebody to pick us up from camp, not allowing me to have the chance to ask her name.
End of flashback.
"Did you guys meet a certain plain girl during camp?" I asked.
They didn't say anything as they continued to look into space, knowing I guessed it right I sighed loudly, running my hand through my hair. This is getting more complicated than I thought.
"So the girls thought we're just playing with them?"
"Looks like it."
"Troublesome."
"Come on, let's go talk to them." I stood up walking towards the noise that's full of laughter.
