Chapter Five Could you be
That was close I have to stop by Itachi's place to see if he will like the new design. I touch my lips thinking what was Sasuke thinking he didn't pull back. Wait what the hell was I thinking? Should I tell him what happened? I have to work been in work in an hour. I don't have to be in work for an hour, but mom doesn't check. Slang as she know I carry a Taser and pepper spray. She's fine with me out at night. Plus she knows I know how to fight, my step-dad and Tayuya. Well as long as I keep my grades up I can work as many hours as I want to and as late as I can.
I run the mile in nine minutes a new record. I need to practice for the marathon for the schools. When I get to the door I hear Sasuke's voice, "I had an odd day at school," he sounded flustered uncertain not his usual cocky self and your worthless act. "Yeah I can tell Sasuke. You sound really confused about something. Also you're at my place for the second time this month that's weird for you." I hear a sigh and someone pulling a chair I peak thought the peephole and see Sasuke sitting with his head in his hands, "There's this girl at school that makes me feel uncertain of myself and just weird. When I see her I want to run over and hug her or something, but she thinks of me as the horny bastard Sasuke that uses girls and throw them away, when I've done that. I just never feel anything with them. So I've never done it with anyone, but hell a girl dates you for a few days start rumors even girls I don't know. To make her think worse of me I kissed her. I kissed the nerd bird." I never let Itachi see me in my school or work outfit. I hear Itachi's confused voice, "Nerd bird that's that? You've never mentioned her." "I don't have to guts to trust myself to say her name at the moment and I don't how to describe her the right moment," I hear him sigh causing him to sound really despite, "I can be creepy and get a pic of the nerd bird." Itachi laughs, "Alright you better hurry off to get home." "I know but uncle isn't home for once so I wanted to know if I could just pick some of my things up and stay here." I can picture Itachi falling down and I hear the thump, "What you want to spend time with me?" "Uncle is the one that kept telling me not to talk to you or the little girl I use to play with." I freeze when his uncle gets back his head is going to be used for batting practice. I know that Itachi knows that if I find out that's what I'm going to do. "Ok you can jack the game room, maybe I can get some sleep. To tell you I'm expecting the band and our designer. I just want you to have to deal with the idiots when you're supposed to be working on homework." I can picture Sasuke rolling his eyes but he starts laughing, "Yeah ok even though I'm sixteen now. "Oh yeah Sasuke when's Uncle supposed to be back?" "A month I think is what he told me."
I sat down and thought of what Sasuke said and shake my head. Even though he does have feelings for me the torment he has put me through since his parents died I can't forgive for what he's done When I think it's safe I knock on the door. Itachi opened the door saw me, walked out, and shut it. I still don't know how he knows that I don't want to see Sasuke. "Hey do you have the new sketches for the posters?" he seems confused but giddy. I smile and pull out the sketch pad, "Some sketches just random it's just on this page," I pull on the tab to the design I made. He smiles and puts his hand on my head like when I was a little kid, "These are wonderful sketches and this new design based of puffy clouds. I like how you did outlines around them. "Thanks and don't forget Cherry Blossom Festival bring the blonde beauty of yours with you. Also wear a kimono." He laughs, "We have a month." I roll my eyes, "Ok I need to get a yakata. Plus before than Hana would love to meet the famous Sakura Haruno who designs, fights, and Dj's well working another job and getting top scores in school." I laugh, "Yeah but barely beats your brother." He smiles, "Still loyal to him." I glare at him and poke him in the chest, "I'm just stating the truth. I would have a boyfriend but no guy wants to get close enough to me." I almost scream out in frustration. Sasuke was a sweet little kid that saved my life and always protected me even though I didn't need it. I hear Sasuke calling Itachi. "Well he's coming and I need to get to work." Itachi grabs my arm, "Wait," I look back, "why don't you ever want to see him?" "He's a jerk that uses girls." "Sakura are you Nerd Bird?" I pull the perfect act, "Nerd what," I say this as I jump down to the next level and I pull a few more ninja tricks.
