Secrets
"Tenten doesn't like spicy food *hic* but Lee keeps buying it."
Much to the chagrin of the convenience store clerk, they returned to buy as much liquor as they could reasonably carry. She wasn't a big drinker, but her ice cream wasn't doing enough to distract her. The sight of her openly drinking with Sasuke would've turned more than a few heads if the streets weren't deserted.

"Ino and Sai are… are dating."

Usually, she was the one taking care of her drunk friends. Listening to them. Holding their hair. Being their shoulder to cry on. Sasuke drank like a fish but didn't need her to look out for him. She was free to talk as much as she wanted and none of her secrets would get out…hopefully.
"Hanabi told me she has a crush."

He wouldn't tell… he wouldn't.
Taking a deep breath, she uttered the words that had been weighing on her heart for months.
"I'm not happy."
