Shelly's Note: I can't write Lee, I don't know why I even attempt to...he's very out of character, deal with it...along with any other oocness there may be...I know it's there and it's unavoidable
I got up to part of chapter 20 written, though I was a little mad while writing it and that may reflect in chapters 17 through 20 and the ideas that were inspired for later chapters...this chapter however, s not one of those chapters as it has been written for a while
Thank you for all the reviews for last chapter, I figured 11 reviews earns a new chapter for today since I plan on hopefully writing a little more today
As usual, I own nothing, enjoy and please review
Chapter 16: The Girls
Sasuke POV:
"Sweetie, guess what?" my mom said as I walked into the kitchen the next morning, and I knew something stupid was about to happen.
"What?" I asked, very unenthusiastically.
"I invited some girls from your school over," she smiled and I frowned as I looked at her.
"Excuse me?" I glared.
"I was at the supermarket, and I saw some nice girls introduced themselves who said that they knew you and so I invited them over," she smiled. "They were very attractive."
"Mother, I'm gay," I glared. "I can spell it if you need me to."
"Do not talk back to me," she demanded.
"Then get it through your head that you can't change the fact that I don't like girls," I said.
"No you have to," she said.
"Why?" I asked.
"Because I have yet to tell your father, but when I do I have a feeling he's going to disown you," she said.
I just frowned, "I'm not hanging out with those girls."
"I'll send them in when they get here," she smiled.
I just walked into the living room where everyone else was sitting. Sai looked at me and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"My mother invited some girls over," I sighed.
"So?" Neji asked.
"It's all part of her scheme to make me not gay," I rolled my eyes.
Before anything else could be said I heard the front door open and voices talking, voices that I recognized and were often annoyed by. "Hey Sasuke," was called out from behind me.
I turned to see Sakura, Hinata, and Ino standing there.
"Beautiful Sakura, we meet again," Lee said as he stood up and took her hand, which she quickly took back.
"No touching," Sakura said.
I could already feel a headache coming on and it was only the start of the day.
Hinata POV:
I could feel my heart beat faster as I saw Kiba. I knew I didn't stand a chance; he was a attracted to Sasuke, as many people often were.
"S-so Kiba, h-how have y-you been?" I asked.
At first I thought he didn't hear me because he was staring at Sasuke and Naruto talking, however, after a minute he said, "Pretty good, you?"
"G-good," I said as I looked down. I was used to being ignored so it was no big deal. "W-what have y-you guys b-been up t-to?"
"Nothing much, just hanging out, we played truth or dare the other night which was fun, but nothing really big," he shrugged.
"O-oh that s-sounds fun," I said. He didn't even look at me while we talked which kind of hurt. However, I still liked talking to him. I just wished that he had noticed me. I looked around the room and saw that I wasn't the only one being ignored for Sasuke, Lee was too. I let out a sigh; I just couldn't understand how two people could be so blind that all they see is one person that they refused to see anyone else.
Ino POV:
I don't know why I was drawn to Shikamaru. He is lazy and yet isn't afraid to tell me what he thinks. I still have yet to figure him out fully. Most of the time we talked he would just lie there, adding in some remark every now and then. Yet I was drawn to him, almost as if he was a new mystery for me to figure out.
"So, Shikamaru, do you have a girlfriend?" I asked.
"No, most girls are too troublesome," he shrugged.
I looked at him, "Are you gay too?"
"No," he sighed.
"Oh, but girls are troublesome?" I asked.
"You're asking questions now, right?" he said as he closed his eyes.
"Yeah," I said.
"Then there's your answer," he shrugged.
"Excuse me for trying to get to know you," I said as I crossed my arms.
We said in silence for a few moments before he sighed, "Fine, go ahead, ask your questions."
I smiled, "Thank you." We started to talk and got to know each other, for once having an actual conversation with a guy instead of fighting over one.
Sakura POV:
I was staring at Sasuke as Lee was talking my ear off. I don't even know what he was talking about at this point. There was something about "Youth" and that's when I tuned him out. I just stared at Sasuke, not believing that he's gay. How could something that perfect be gay?
"Sakura, are you listening?" Lee asked.
"Of course, you were talking about youth," I said as I turned to him.
He frowned and I knew I was wrong. I felt a little bad, as I was ignoring him as Sasuke ignored me. However, I would apologize later; right now, all that was important was winning back Sasuke's heart. I guess more so, winning it in the first place.
"He's not going to love you," Lee said as he looked to where I was looking.
"Excuse me," I asked.
"He won't love you, not like I can," Lee smiled.
"Lee, you're sweet, but my heart belongs to Sasuke," I sighed.
"Who's gay," he said.
"No, he's confused," I said, not believing that he could be gay for one minute.
"Sakura," he started, but I shook my head.
"No, I don't want to hear it," I said as I crossed my arms and refused to talk to him. All I wanted to do was talk to Sasuke.
"Sakura, he only wants to talk to Naruto," Lee said.
I frowned, "I know, what does he have, that I don't?"
"Nothing, you're the most beautiful girl I've ever seen," Lee said.
I smiled at his words and decided then I could talk to him for at least a little while, "Really?"
"Yes, any guy would be lucky to have you," he said.
I smiled, "Thank you." We started to talk and he made me feel special, though a big part of me was still thinking about Sasuke.
TBC...
