"Listen, my bestfriend really made me promise not to tell anyone about it since she didn't want Sasuke's reputation to be ruined. But since you really want to know then I'll tell you. But... Before I do that, you have to promise you won't tell anyone." I spoke to four girls hanging out in the girls' comfort room. When they saw me enter, they immediately asked me about Sasuke and Sakura's break up issue, knowing I am Sakura's bestfriend. And so I decided to work on my mission to destroy Uchiha Sasuke.
The girls nodded in agreement, each of them replying, "I promise" and, "Hurry up and tell us."
I pretended to look around as if to check if someone would hear me before I spoke. "Well... The real reason why Sasuke broke up with Sakura is not because of a new girl in his life." I said, pausing for a moment to give them a bit of suspense. "It's because of a new guy. Girls, Sasuke is gay."
"What?! And you expect us to believe that?!" One of the girls, Shizuka, exclaimed as her eyebrows raised.
I shook my head at her. "I know it's hard to believe because I couldn't believe it at first too. But then I noticed the signs and realized it was true."
"Oh, yeah? What signs?" Cherry, the blue-haired asked, folding her arms in her chest and leaning in closer to pay attention to what I will say.
Luckily, I had the whole thing planned out yesterday so I had no trouble answering. "There's a lot, actually. But the first and most sensible fact is that Sasuke and Naruto are always together." I pointed out knowing that they would definitely go for it. "They're practically inseparable."
Another girl, Sheena, nodded. "You know what? That really makes sense. Whenever I see Sasuke, Naruto is always with him. Not once did I see them separated."
"Yeah, and one time, I even saw them hugging each other." Another girl piped in.
As the others agreed, Shizuka, who wouldn't believe me earlier spoke again. "But they've been really close to each other even before Sasuke and Sakura met so I don't think that's a sign."
This girl is getting on my nerves. Why couldn't she just agree with me?! "Well, another sign is because he dumped Sakura who is very pretty and nice. I mean, there are a lot of guys who wants to date her. Why would a guy in his right mind dump a girl like Sakura?" I tried once again to convince them.
Once again, Sherry disagreed with a frown. "I don't find Sakura that attractive so I think it's normal for Sasuke to dump her."
"What did you say?! That's my bestfriend you are talking about!" I snapped at her.
Sherry shrugged. "I'm just being honest. There will always be someone prettier in a guy's point of view so there's nothing wrong in the picture." She said knowingly. "But you know what, that part where he and Naruto are always together seems very believable. So maybe... He is gay?"
"He really is gay, okay? If you still don't believe me, just try observing how intimate he is with Naruto." I responded. "Anyway, I have to go to class so I'll leave you girls now."
"Good bye then." They all exclaimed in unison.
Remembering how people tend to defy what was told to them, I decided to make them remember their promise earlier to keep what we talked about as a secret. "Don't forget, it's a secret between us." I said, placing a finger before my lips. Then I was out of there.
Based on my calculations, the gossip would spread all over the school by lunch break. After all, I knew that those girls I talked to were the last people to keep secrets. Everyone in school knew that. Good job, Hinata. Looks like you're going to win this battle easily.
I headed towards the classroom, where I know Sakura is waiting for me. When I got there, I saw her head buried under her arms. I sighed as I walked over to the seat next to her. I was really not used to her being so down like this. "Hey, Sakura-chan, I've got something to tell you." I spoke, shaking her by the shoulder so she'd get up.
She lifted her head slowly, "What?" She asked lifelessly.
"Remember the plan I told you about last night?" I asked her, trying to sound really cheerfully so that she might actually get infected by my cheerful bug, unfortunately she just nodded. "Well, I finally did it. I started telling people."
I didn't exactly expect her to jump in joy but at least I expected her to turn a bit happier. "So you were really serious." She remarked with a small smile.
"Of course I was. Why wouldn't I be?" I replied. "You're supposed to be happy about this since I'm doing it for you. I'm not used to this sudden switching of roles between us. You're supposed to be the one trying to cheer me up."
Her smile finally got bigger. "I'm sorry, Hina-chan. It's just that I'm still not used to not having Sasuke around anymore."
I forgot to mention. When Sakura and Sasuke are still together, him and Naruto used to hang out with us all the time. But of course, as usual, Sasuke and I never got along. He would mock and bother me whenever I studied while they were just enjoying each other's company.
"Well, I'm sorry to say but I'm glad those days are over." I admitted to my bestfriend.
This time Sakura let out a soft chuckle. "I should've known when he was treating you that way."
I nodded in agreement. "You really should have. I mean, if your boyfriend can't even treat your bestfriend right then how could he treat you right? You should definitely make sure your next boyfriend treats me well."
"Fine, I will." She remarked, suddenly standing up.
"Where are you going?" I asked, checking my watch. "The teacher's going to arrive in about three minutes."
She checked her own watch. "Yeah, you're right. But I need to go to the bathroom now. I'll be right back."
Sakura didn't return in time though. She came back five minutes late so our teacher scolded her. But the good thing is her mood had suddenly improved ever since she came back and since I was wondering why, I asked her. "Did something good happen?"
Her lips curved into a wide smile. "I heard the gossips. I didn't think it could be that funny. Everyone was talking about it." She stated. "I can't believe you used Sasuke and Naruto's relationship."
From what she said, I was surprised. I didn't think it was that fast for the rumor to spread. "Is everyone convinced?"
"I think so." She giggled.
I was going to say something more but I noticed our teacher glancing at our direction, giving us a warning glare. I changed my mind and turned my attention back to my textbook. Besides, my plan was working perfectly so there was nothing to worry about. Everything was going my way.
When lunch finally came, Sakura and I were sitting at our usual table enjoying our meal. As we did, I could hear Sasuke's name mentioned by people around me. It felt good seeing everyone was talking about the rumor I made up. When another bestfriend of ours, Ino, approached our table to ask about what everyone was talking about, I was pretty confident in answering her.
"Have you, guys, heard what everyone's talking about?" She asked, taking a seat across me.
"Yeah, it's about Sasuke being gay." I replied, trying not to sound too obvious that the rumor came from me.
Ino shook her head. "I don't think that's what they're talking about anymore." She countered. "It's something about you." Ino gestured to me and I looked at her puzzled.
Sakura's forehead suddenly furrowed. "What about Hinata?" She asked in concern.
"I'm not really sure if I heard it correctly but it was something about Hinata starting rumors about Sasuke because he refused to go out with her."
My eyes widen. "What?! Who the hell said that?!" I exclaimed angrily. "Are they out of their minds? Why would I get upset if a good-for-nothing jerk doesn't want to date me? I'd rather be single than go out with Uchiha Sasuke!"
Ino put her hands in front of her, getting anxious by my outburst. "Hey, hey. I'm just telling you what I heard."
"I wonder who's behind this." I said thoughtfully, observing every person in the cafeteria for a person I might suspect. Suddenly, I caught a sight of Sasuke by the entrance. As soon as I did, I figured out who was responsible.
Who else but Uchiha Sasuke himself?
