If Uchiha Sasuke thought I was going to be afraid after reading his note, he was so wrong. So maybe everything was going to be a lot more challenging now, since Sasuke was probably going to attack me and not just simply counter every scheme I come up with. But I didn't work hard studying just to be outsmarted by someone like him.
The only thing is, I am running out of plans. Rumors definitely wouldn't work anymore, no matter how true they were they could seem. People just love him too much to believe in any of them. And as for spreading of his number, it was going prett. well but I bet that after a week of unanswered calls and unreplied texts, girls were bound to give up. I need to come up with something new, something that is guaranteed to work.
I was thinking all about my plans the next day as I headed for my locker. But twhen I reached it, my heart started beating fast in nervousness. My locker's padlock had been broken and the door was open halfway. I opened it wider, only to find all my things in a mess like someone had rumaged carelessly through them.
For a moment, I just stood looking at the terrible scene. But when I finally got back to my senses, I started fixing my things and checking whether there was something missing among them. Luckily, almost everything was there. Books, extra pencils, pens, papers and my jacket...
"Excuse me, you're Hyuuga Hinata, right?" I heard a girl said and then I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned to her after rearranging my things.
"Yes, what do you want?" I asked, failing to hide the irritation in my tone. I hated it when someone touches my things and now is not any different.
When the girl looked a bit younger than me, and has a she scared the expressionon her face upon hearing my tone. "I found this on my desk earlier so I asked around on where I could find you." She answered, holding out a familiar notebook.
As soon as I saw the notebook, my eyes widened. It was my notebook where I wrote all important notes. I always brought it with me but I accidentally left it inside my locker yesterday. Oh my gosh! Thank you so much for returning this!" I exclaimed gratefully as I received it from her.
The girl's expression turned from scared to bewildered. She must have been confused at my sudden change of mood. But nevertheless she accepted my appreciation. "No problem." She smiled and bowed her head then she turned to walk away.
When the girl was gone, I ckecked the notebook for torn pages or any damages that might have been done to it. Fortunately, there was none. It looked like the person who did this just wanted to scare me and didn't need much thinking for me to know who was behind this. I guessed he was serious when he said he was accepting my war. It doesn't matter though because I came well-prepared for his attacks. I'm not afraid at all.
Untying the ribbon that holds my hair in a ponytail, I couldn't help but let out a sigh. I knew there is something useful about using a ribbon instead of a headband for my hair. I tied the ribbon around my locker's lock so it would close temporarily. "That should do for now I guess."
I started heading for my first class. I do not want to be late and get myself in trouble again. When I got to class though, everyone's busy running around the room, passing papers to each other. I walked over to my seat and turned to Sakura-chan who seemed confused as I am. "What's goin on?" I asked her not actually expecting an answer from the looks of her face.
She shruged. "I have no idea either. I just got here and when I did, everyone's been acting that way already." She replied looking over towards the person on her other side. "What are those papers for?" She asked the girl.
The girl looked up from the stacks of papers and smiled. "Oh, they're notes for History and Physics." She answered in a friendly tone.
"Can I see?" Sakura-chan asked politely. The girl nodded and handed her some papers. Sakura, in turn, shifted towards me so that we could both see what it really is. "Wait a minute... Isn't this..?"
"My handwriting!" I finished for Sakura-chan. "Where'd you get this?" I asked the girl, suddenly feeling furious. As I had said before, I have always been sensitive about people copying my works and everybody knows that.
The girl seemed surprised by my sudden rage. But she still answered me nicely. "Someone from class the down the hall gave them a while ago. He gave us a lot of copies."
"The class down the hall? Isn't that Sasuke's class?" I asked Sakura, standing up from my seat, trying to ready myself.
She nodded. "Yes, it is but where are you going? The class is going to start very soon, you might get sent to detention again." She reminded me.
Just as she did, I caught sight of our teacher nearing the door to our classroom. I decided that I'd rather not risk getting into trouble so I took my seat and convinced myself I could confront him later.
During class, it seemed like everyone's got hold of my notes because every single answer given in our recitation seemed to be my answer. Sasuke doesn't deserve just a confrontation for this. He deserves way much worse. The problem is, I couldn't think what. What can I do that can make him feel the way I do right now?
"This is so frustrating." I complained to Sakura as we sat down for lunch.
"What is?"
I let out a large sigh. "What else? My not functioning brain. I just can't think of a way to get back at him. "I replied as I hit my forehead with my palm a couple of times. "My mind is supposed to be good in thinking up a revenge. But why can't it give me anything right now?"
Ino suddenly arrived at out table. "Maybe because it's a sign that you should stop?" She said taking a seat across me. "I just rceived a copy of your famous notes. Aren't you upset about it?"
"Why do you think I want to come up with something so much? If I let him get away with this, I'm never going to forgive myself." I responded. "I even have to buy a new padlock now. And I needed to take all my things home too because someone might steal something again."
Ino shrugged. "If I were you, I'll just give up. Who knows what he can do next?"
I shook my head. "I'm never going to give up. Not now. Not until I win this."
For the rest of the day, I have to endure the torture of hearing my answers in discussions, not coming from my own lips but from someone else. And so I was overjoyed when the bell for dismissal rang.
"Are you sure you don't need any help carrying your things?" Sakura-chan offered again.
I shook my head. "No need. I can carry them myself." I told her with a smile. I don't want to be a bother to her or to any one.
We said our good byes and went our separate ways. As I walked back towards my locker, I caught sight of Sai waving at me not far ahead. I wondered why he's acting that way because we weren't really friendly each other except the one in detention. Once he's standing in front of he, he stopped.
"Hi, Hinata." He greeted with a friendly smile. Which looks like he's forcing it or something. "Do you remember me?"
I nodded. "Yes, why?"
His smile just got even wider. "Then do you remember when I talked about the girl during one of my games?" He asked hopefully.
I nodded getting confused by the second. "Yes, why do you ask?"
"She's the girl you're eating lunch with today." He said with a boyish grin. "Can ypu introduce me?" He asked, blushing.
"You mean Sakura-chan?" I asked, more confused since I know Sakura doesn't play badminton.
Sai frowned. "No, not Sasuke's ex. I don't like to get Sasuke mad at me."
"Oh, you mean Ino!" I exclaimed, suddenly remembering her sudden appearance in our table at lunch. "Why do you want me to introduce you? Why don't you just introduce yourself?"
He blushed a little. "Well... I don't think it's proper for a guy to walk up and suddenly introduce himself to a girl." He explained. "Please?"
I couldn't help but feel amused by his actions. Suddenly, an idea popped into my head. Sakura-chan mentioned Sai is the Captain of the Basketbal team varsities when I told her about our detention. And Sasuke is one of the players in the team.
"I'll do it on one condition." I told him then started whispering my idea to him.
At first, he wouldn't agree but I expected that. "I don't know... People would get mad at me for sure."
"You're the captain, everyone trusts your judgment. Besides it's the only way you can make me introduce you to Ino."
He sighed and finally agreed. "Fine. I'll do it."
