Chapter Thirteen: Secret Admirer?

The bell was just about to ring when we reached the school compound. We then walked straight towards the locker room. As I opened my locker, I noticed a piece of envelope inside it. I cocked my brow in curiousity and stared at it. The peachy-orange envelope had a minty citrus smell which made me even more curious to open it.

"Oi, dobe," I heard Sasuke called. "...what's that?"

"An envelope that is peachy-orange in colour and has a minty citrus smell..."

"Very funny, Neji," I replied, rolling my eyes.

Neji chuckled. "So, what's inside it? A love-letter?"

"Yeah right," I rolled my eyes again. "There's no way a girl can enter this room. You should know that better."

"...maybe it's from a guy?"

My breath hitched all of a sudden. I had to try my best to hide the blush that was slowly appearing on my face. By the corner of my eyes, I could see that Sasuke was frowning and staring at me intensely. I felt a cold sweat running down my cheek. It was kind of weird - and quite frightening to see him glaring at me like that. Still, I tried to keep my cool.

"And why do you think a guy would give me a love letter?" I asked.

"Just read the letter first..."

I snorted and tore the envelope. Then, I started reading the letter. To my surprise - and horror, it was from a guy indeed. Again, my breath hitched as the blush crept back to my cheeks. My heart was beating rapidly as I could not prevent my blush from appearing. I glanced at Sasuke. He was frowning even more as he approached Neji and I.

"So, what does it say?"

"..."

"...dobe?"

I flinched a little when he brushed his long slender fingers against my elbow. With slightly trembling hands, I started reading the letter. It pretty much sounded like this;

Dear Uzumaki Naruto,

Roses are red,
Violets are blue;
Honey is sweet,
And so are you.

Yoroshiku ne, Naruto-chan. Boku wa Sai desu. You must be wondering why I am writing this letter. Well, first of all, I'd like to say that I like you. I mean, you're charming and cute. I know it seems unlogical, but I've been having a crush on you since the first time I saw you when you came to this school. No offence though, I just want to tell my feelings towards you. Anyways, I really think that we should get together sometimes. You know, hang out together - without your "bodyguard", of course...

Nevertheless, please reply to this letter. Or a much better choice, just meet me at the school hall after school. I will always be there every single day. Anyhow, I do hope that you will give your respond. Thanks for taking your time to read this letter. Ja ne, Naruto-chan! :)

Yours truly;
Sai

"...what the hell is he thinking?"

"You know him, Neji?" I looked up at Neji, slightly confused.

"Very much," he replied in quite an annoyed tone. "He's my classmate. A real trouble, I have to say..."

Then, I felt someone standing close behind me. "What's all this about, guys? You're already delayed for five minutes..."

"Huh?"

I turned around and realised it was Iruka-sensei. Apparently, he was in charge that morning. The three of us then followed him towards the classes. Neji got to his class first as it was closer to the locker room. I stared into the class and was surprised when I noticed a guy that looked very much like Sasuke stared back at me with a smirk.

"Naruto-kun? Naruto, daijoubu?"

"Huh?" I blinked. "Uh...uh...n-nothing! Hehe...gomen, my mind was somewhere else just now..."

"Hn..."

I turned my vision to Sasuke and could see that he was slightly angry. '...is he mad at me? I wonder why...' Before I could think further, we reached our classroom. Kakashi-sensei was already inside the room. Both Sasuke and I had to apologise to him before taking our seats at the back of the class. While the class was going on, I could not help but to think about the guy.

'It's really frighteningly odd that he looks just like Sasuke...' I furrowed my brows. 'I wonder if he has any relationship with Sasuke... But, if they really do have a relationship, Sasuke would have told me earlier... Hm...'

"Naruto-kun? Naruto-kun, are you with us?"

"Huh?"

"...you should pay attention to class right now. You can continue with your thoughts after school today, okay?" Kakashi returned back to the lesson.

"Nice one, dobe..." Sasuke suddenly said. "Just the second day of school and you already got your first detention..."

"Shut up!"

"Sasuke, stop bothering Naruto. You'll be staying in class after school as well..."

I rolled my eyes and rested my cheek on my palm as I stuck out my tongue at him. He made his usual 'hn' sound and then took out a small piece of paper. He scribbled something on the paper and handed it to me. I cocked a brow as I took it and started reading the...ehem, horrible writing. On it was written a question;

Will you go or not?

'Go? Go where?' I stared at the paper and blinked for a few times. Then, I turned to him and made a face that showed 'What the hell? I don't understand'. He took out another piece of paper and wrote something on it as well before passing it to me. I frowned as I took the letter. 'Really, why can't he just speak it out? It's not like we're a mile apart or something...'

School hall, after school today

Again, I stared at the paper before taking my pen and replied;

Dunno, y?

Then, I gave it back to him. He read my answer and let out a small snort. I snorted back and puffed my cheeks slightly. He smirked at me before writing something on the paper and giving it back to me.

Jus' askin'...
1 me 2 go wit u?

I almost broke into laughter as I read it. Indeed, it was supposed to mean, 'Just asking. Want me to go with you?', but I thought it was really funny when Uchiha Sasuke wrote something like that. Still, I let out a small chuckle and started writing my reply;

Sure, y not?

As he read it, he smirked again and crumpled the piece of paper into a small ball. Then, he stuffed it into his pocket. I smiled at him and turned back to the front. Letting out a small sigh, I thought to myself; 'He can be quite a pain in the ass sometimes... But when Sasuke's being a nice person, you'll never find someone nicer... That's why I like you, Sasuke...'


Woot! Oh God, looks like Sasuke's gotten a rival! Woot! Anyways, I know this is very much like my other story 'Hate that I Love You', but trust me, there's tons of difference! Especially when the almost-rape scene is revealed! By the way, I know thta most of you might probably know by now who the rapist will be. For those who still doesn't know...just read on, 'kay? Woot!

Yori: Sasuke was so nice! (hugs Koneko)

Koneko: Yup! He can be very nice when he wants to!

Tamabi: If only I can get a boyfriend as nice as him!

Gaara: ...you all are stupid...

Girls: Shut up!! (smacks Gaara's head)

Lol! That was fun! Anyways, she still doesn't know my feelings for her, so it's better to keep it a secret for the time being. Anyways, hope you guys will continue to enjoy my story! Woot! Wait for the next chappy to come out, 'kay? Woot! Ja ne, minna-san!
