Clashing Personalities
Fourteen
Finding the chance to thank him is harder than speaking for Hinata. He and Deidara are always surrounded by their group, laughing and talking, and she always looses heart. It was a week ago when she and Deidara had that conversation. She had said she would thank him, thank Sasori, but every time she thought she could do it…it turned out she couldn't even get up.
But isn't that a normal reaction for a girl when it comes to talking to the opposite sex? Especially if the opposite is attractive?
And, from time to time, she will catch one of them watching her.
At this moment, in lunch, they are not. They're across the cafeteria, sitting at their table, and everyone is avoiding them like usual. The black-haired guy, and the one with a blue tint to this skin, is there along with the guy with the silver-white hair and lavender eyes.
"Sakura-chan, you're doing it again." Naruto's voice cuts through to her and she turns her attention to him with a hint of a smile.
"Gomen, Naruto." She replies and, for a moment, it looks as if he isn't going to say anything but he sighs and comments, "Something has you wound up. What is it?"
She tells him.
He frowns. "You want to thank him, them, for a picture?"
"You saw it. It was done so well. I already thanked the one who drew it…" she trails off and Naruto groans.
"You do realize that they're, like, the worst group in the entire school to get dragged into, don't you?" he asks her.
"It's not like I'm going to be with them. I just want to thank him for the picture." She says defensively.
"Then thank him, forehead." Ino's voice cuts in from behind as she approaches with the timid Hinata Hyuga at her side.
"It's…not that easy." She admits and Ino rolls her eyes.
"Of course it is. Just get up, walk over there, and thank him. That simple." Ino plops herself down on the empty seat next to her and Hinata takes Ino's other side.
"I have to agree with Ino, Sakura-chan. I might not like the idea of you near them, but you have been out of sorts over this for…how long?" Naruto puts in as Hinata nods her head in agreement.
Sakura worries her lower lip, glances over at the five males in their senior year, before saying, "Well, if it's that easy, why don't you do it?"
"Ah, because he didn't give the picture to me?" Ino supplies and Sakura groans.
She's right about that.
"Y-you'll be fine, S-Sakura-chan." Hinata casts a shy smile at her and Sakura sighs as she says, "I guess I'll have to do it sooner or later…"
"Why not sooner?"
"Shut it, pig." Sakura stands, pulling the strap of her bag over her shoulder, and looks over at Ino.
"Go on, Sakura! Just march up to him and thank him. Then you can run away."
She isn't sure if Ino is trying to help or make it worse, but, she finally decides, she turns and makes her way across the cafeteria. She eases between the tables, between the people, and she notices that Deidara is watching her now.
And she nearly falters.
But Sasori is also watching. He seems curious, if that is what she wants to call it, but he also looks a bit confused.
The other three have also turned their attention to her and, as she stops in front of the group, she notices that a lot of people have gotten quiet.
"Sakura-san," Deidara greets her as he leans back against the table.
"Deidara…" she trails off, nervous, before eyeing the four others.
Come on, Sakura! Just say it already!
Her gaze settles on Sasori as someone bumps into her. She staggers, arms wrap around her middle, and one settles along the side of her breast.
She goes still.
"Tobi…" Deidara groans, dropping his head in his hands.
"Gomen, Deidara-sempai! Tobi just stumbled into the pretty lady!" Sakura's hands curl into tight fists, shaking slightly, and her bangs cover her eyes…
"Tobi, you idiot! Let her go, hmm!"
Her teeth clench…
"Tobi is a good boy, sempai!"
Her nails bite into the flesh of her palm.
"Tobi, you moron, can't you fucking see where you damn hand is at?"
She twists, anger fueling her movement.
"Pervert!"
Her fist collides with the bottom of his jaw, snapping his head back, and she carries through with the swing. The man named 'Tobi' flies off the floor, over the table, and over his shocked friends. He collides with the stone wall behind him, leaving it cracked when he hits the ground, and Sakura, red-faced, folds her arms over her chest as her face, from ear to finger, turns an amazing shade of red.
Holy shit! Tobi flies! (ROTFLMFAO)
Sakura, it appears, is still very strong...but what does it mean? And how will everyone else react to it?
You need another chapter to find out...one that is soon to come out...I just don't feel like posting anymore. I'm tired.
I hope you enjoyed it.
Please Review.
