Hey guys! I finally updated, huh? this story was supposed to be on hiatus, but reading monstermimix3's message made me feel like continuing this story again! So I hope you guys enjoy this chapter :D

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto. Sigh.

I heard footsteps running towards me.

"Ino?" I heard Tenten say, "Are you alright? You never came back after you answered your call,"

I turned around to face Tenten, and I can tell that Tenten was shocked.

Tenten eyes went wide and asked frantically, "Shit, Ino! Are you okay? You look like you've seen a ghost!"

Looking at Tenten's warm brown eyes, I said, "I think Gaara knows my secret,"

Tenten's jaw literally dropped. "How did this happen? Did he over hear you or something?"

"I don't know, and I hope that he wouldn't tell anyone because if he does my life would be over!" tears started forming at the edge of my eyes. I cannot believe this; one stupid phone call will ruin my chances at having a normal high school life!

Tenten put her hand on my shoulders as a sign of comforting, "It's alright, I'm sure Gaara wont tell, he doesn't have many friends and he's not exactly the master of gossips, ne?"

Hearing Tenten's words comforted me, and I have to agree; Gaara isn't the kind of person who would tell people secrets. Especially when he looks so calculating. Remembering his eyes sent a shiver down my spine.

"Come on, let's go back to the cafeteria before Hinata gets worried,"

After classes, waiting for Tenten and Hinata outside their classrooms, I thought and planned to hunt Gaara down after this, but first I have to call Manager Mariko to cancel my appointment and do it next time.

I put my hand in my bag and fished for my iPhone. I dialed her number and waited for her to pick up. After several rings, she finally picked up.

"Moshi moshi?"

"Mariko-chan! I need to cancel the appointment,"

"WHAT? Do you know how long we've waited for them to make an appointment for you?"

"Gomen, Mariko-chan, but something came up and I really need to fix this,"

"No, you will come if you don't I – "

I hanged up before she could shout and lecture me for taking advantage of my popularity and having so many offers, blah blah blah. Something I didn't need to know since apparently she gives it as a weekly lesson.

The class finally ended and I put back my phone to wait for Tenten and Hinata across the door.

They finally went out and saw me, "Ino! Sorry for making you wait!" Tenten shouted. Hinata's eyes went wide and told her to shut up before anyone could hear. Tenten gave me an apologetic look as they came to me.

I glared at Tenten, when she was beside me I hissed, "My name's Lizzy not Ino! Good thing no one heard,"

"Gomen, Lizzy, its just that I got so used to calling you, you know.." Tenten scratched her head as a sign of apology.

I sighed, can't help it. They've been my best friends since I was practically a baby so I can't blame them.

Smiling, I was planning to tell them the plan I was going to do in order to shut Gaara's mouth just in case he told anyone. The plan was to hunt him down after classes, which is now, and try to blackmail him with something..

I was about to open my mouth when someone interrupted us, "Did she just call you Ino?"

Uh-oh. This cannot be good. I know this voice enough to know whom it belonged to without looking at him.

After a few seconds he cleared his throat again, "Do I need to repeat myself?" I can hear the tinge of annoyance in his voice when he said that. Facing him I looked at his eyes confidently and said, "Of course not, not unless you still think about the ex girlfriend you had 2 years ago?"

Raising his eyebrows he said, "Who, Ino Yamanaka? She's dead to me." His voice turning cold with every word he said.

His cold words pierced my heart, as if I did something so horrible that he had to hate me with all his life. Honestly? I don't know what I did to make him so pissed at me.

I heard Hinata gasp and I saw her backing out.

Tenten spoke confidently, "Well, it happens that Ino is doing a great job and she's getting more fans each day that passes," she took a step toward him and poked his chest, "So don't say that she's dead to you, cause you'll only see her everywhere you go," with that she walked away not without giving me one last look.

I gave her silent thanks and I received a nod in return. I knew that I needed to do this alone. Hinata gave me a small smile before following Tenten.

Turning back to Sasuke, I saw just how calm he was, considering a girl just stood up to him.

"So, new girl. We're finally alone,"

It took me a moment to take in what he said, and looking around we were alone in the hallway. Makes me wonder where Sakura is since she's like a glue stuck on Sasuke's body. But then, he also forgot that I didn't answer his first question. Good.

Sasuke saw me looking nervously at him and he smirked. "Don't worry new girl, I wont do anything bad to you, unless you want to,"

Oh God. He is still the same handsome guy I knew from 2 years ago. Wait, stop thinking that! He hates you, I hate him. Don't fall for his stupid charms again. I mentally warned myself.

"What do you want, Uchiha?" I tried to make my voice as cold as his. But he just smirked at me and leaned closer to me.

Taking a few steps back to distance myself from him, "Don't come closer," I warned him.

"I just wanted to spend more time with the hot new girl, can't I do that?"

Sasuke took a few more steps closer making the distance between us again, and when he saw no movement from me, he slammed my back against the wall and used his arms beside my head to trap me.

"Is it you? Are you Ino?" his breath hot against my cheek. Looking into his obsidian eyes, I felt a slight longing in my heart. Until now, after 2 years, I still love him.

His voice breathy he said, "You have the most mesmerizing blue eyes I have ever seen, Lizzy,"

I don't know why but suddenly his lips crashed to mine.
