"It's finally Friday," Temari sighs out loud enough for everyone at the lunch table to hear.
I moved away from the stuffed table a while ago. I felt claustrophobic. Thing is, it's kind of stuffed again. At first it was just me, Shikamaru, Chouji, and Sasuke with everyone at the table beside us. We still pull the tables together.
But now it's gone back to being almost as stuffed as before, like I said. Temari and Ten Ten sit across from me and Sasuke. Shikamaru and Chouji sit on the other side of the table.
To my dismay, Hide sits next to me. I've been very conscious of him. He's able to successfully pretend that nothing happened. He even talks to me like nothing happened at all.
"Don't be like that. Without school, you'd be stupid white trash with fewer friends than you have now," Hide says in one breath.
"Touché," Temari says.
"Alright everyone, Sterling and I decided we'd have a small party. I'm officially inviting everyone at these two tables," Hide announces.
The outgoing people at our tables whoop and grin. Suddenly, I feel a hand enclose mine. I stiffen because its Hide. I glance at him quickly, but he looks completely normal. The only thing I can do is hope he lets go.
"Are you coming tomorrow night?" Hide asks me, squeezing my hand. I feel the anger and shock.
"Why not?" I admit to defeat. I turn to Sasuke and ask, "Are you going?"
Sasuke only nods. I give him a smile and Hide lets go of my hand. I turn to him and try to tell him, with my stare, that he can't do things like that. He isn't even looking at me. I turn back to Sasuke to see that he's gone back to eating his lunch, so I go ahead and do that, too. The others go ahead and talk about what the party will be like.

"Mom! Sasuke is here to eat dinner with us!" I call into the house as I open the door.
Sasuke takes off his shoes while my mom comes out of the kitchen. A pungent smell of onions and peppers wafts into my nose, feeling like its making my nose hairs stand on end. My mom is smiling now, almost the same way she smiles whenever I come home.
"Hello again, Sasuke. I hope you know the drill by now."
Sasuke nods. We both go into the kitchen to find some peppers and onions being cooked. There's also some chicken being cooked next to it. Sasuke grabs the placemats and I grab the silverware. My mom is smiling, and she genuinely seems happy to have Sasuke around. I think she's missed having a male influence around, even if Sasuke is younger than her.
We set up the table and go to eating. My mom strikes friendly conversation about what Sasuke does in school, and what he does out of school. She manages to get more intricate answers from Sasuke instead of one-word answers. It even seems like Sasuke is being more laid-back now.
When it's time to go to sleep, my mom and Sasuke go upstairs so that she can give him my dad's old pajamas. After a while, Sasuke comes downstairs, looking a little red again. I turn to him from the couch, and he clears his throat.
"Your mom said you know where the toothpaste is," he mumbles. I laugh lightly and say, "Déjà vu, right?"
I go upstairs and help Sasuke get his stuff. Right around now my mom would be taking her own time to be getting into her pajamas since she likes to work like she just woke up.
Sasuke takes the tube of toothpaste. He lightly puts his fingers on mine, and he won't let me let go of the tube. I look at Sasuke to see him staring at me. My heart begins to thump faster and I can feel the blood begin to rush to my cheeks.
Sasuke leans forward and sets his lips on mine. This time, the side of me that is connected to Sasuke because of our names, reacts to this. This time, instead of just testing things, Sasuke seems to put some feeling into it. All I can feel is maybe loneliness, or like he's trying to tell me something but I can't understand the language.
Sasuke pulls away, too soon in my view. He slips the tube out of my hand and looks to his toothbrush in his other hand. He then says, "I need to brush my teeth."
I manage to stutter out an answer, although I can't remember what I said for some reason. I leave the bathroom and go downstairs where there's another bathroom. I brush my own teeth and then go to bed.

Sasuke went home early the next day. My mom said that I could go to the small party that Hide and Sterling are throwing. She trusts me, and I trust them when Hide said it would be a small party. Hide had texted me their address for their house.
When I find their house, it's actually just two stories. It's white, with a black mailbox. There's a small garden to the right of the sidewalk leading to the door. It looks like any normal house would.
When I go up to the door, and just before I knock, the door opens up. Hide is the one who opened it. He's wearing the usual x-bandages and charm bracelet. But this time, his clothes are different. He's wearing blue pants with holes. He's wearing a band shirt that fits his figure nicely. He's also wearing the same black sneakers he sometimes wears. On his other wrist he has a slightly long leather bracelet.
There he goes, making me feel plain when next to him.
"Haruka, I knew you would make it! Come on in," he greets as he moves aside.
When I come inside, I already see Temari and Ten Ten. They're hanging out with Shikamaru and Chouji, along with these two upperclassmen who I know to be called Rock Lee and Neji Hyuuga. I think Neji is Hinata's cousin or something of that kind.
As I let Hide give me a tour of the house I end up seeing just a few upperclassmen that I recognize, but never talk to. I end up seeing my own friends and wave to them. When Hide finishes I leave him as quickly as I can to find Temari, Ten Ten, and Hinata.
I sit with them and we talk. We even get Hinata to talk even though she seems alter and watchful. Eventually, Kiba comes over with Shino. They're here because of Hinata, I guess. I a while after they come, Sasuke and Naruto come over. Hinata blushes while Sasuke sits next to me.
After thirty minutes, we hear Hide shout, "Everyone gather 'round! It's time to play Truth or Dare which will then be followed by Spin the Bottle and Seven Minutes in Heaven!"
Oh no…
Like it was said before, I need you guys to give a review before you get the next chapter. It won't be until AFTER I come back from vacation, though. And I apologize for not updating sooner, because there was en error in editing. I hope you enjoyed this update.
