Yep! The flames really won't stop. Alright, fine. Keep them coming. You can't do anything more than that. What's wrong with being a virgin anyway? Because you keep telling me, "Kill yourself, virgin." I think being a virgin is better than hoeing yourself. Anyway, I'll kill myself if you do the honor of going first. ;)

These haters seriously should just get their own lives. Ugh. And I should really stop giving a fuck, eh? Sorry!

Battling With A Hot Guy

22

It's official. I am cursed this Valentine's Day. I just realized that since this day began, I had nothing but dismay. And, okay, so maybe I was wishing for at least someone to do something romantic for me on this day. So why do I have to be locked in this creepy room with this egoistic jerk? I'm still not forgetting my two friends who locked me up in here. Even if Sasuke put them up to this, they will see why they shouldn't mess with me.

"Are you just going to sit there?" Sasuke asked, disturbing my thoughts as I sit beside the door. "I'm going to slice the cake. Don't you want one?"

I didn't budge from where I am. "I don't like taking things that aren't mine. Didn't you say it's Karin whom you like? Then that cake must be for her." I remarked, taking out my phone to send a message to Sakura. I told her about the situation that I am in and asked her to tell Naruto and Kiba that they'll pay for this when I got out.

"Yeah, you're right. This cake is for her. But I can't give this to her anymore since I'm stuck here with you so might as well just eat it." He said in reply, slicing the cake in equal parts. "Are you sure you don't like some? It's a cheesecake."

I stared at Sasuke dumbfoundedly. I love cheesecakes. It's my favorite type of cake because it softly melts in my mouth. And usually, I can't resist it when people offers it to me. It was like ramen for Naruto. However, if I gave in to Sasuke's invite, that would mean I would declare my loss and his victory. "No, thanks." I responded, checking my cellphone for Sakura's reply and trying to make it look like I'm not interested in the cake.

"Suit yourself then." He said, taking a spoonful to his mouth. "It tastes really good."

As he spoke, my stomach started growling in hunger. I wasn't able to eat my food since Gaara arrived with his roses for Ino so I rushed out because of envy. And what better way to satisfy my hunger than to eat my beloved cheesecake? But my pride wouldn't let me. So I tried to distract myself. "Since when do you eat cake? If I remember correctly, you don't like sweets."

"Can't a person try something new?" Sasuke smirked. "So you were keeping tabs on me, huh?" He teased.

I rolled my eyes at him. "Sakura-chan always complain how you never eat chocolates and anything sweet. Don't get any ideas into your head." I said with a tone of annoyance. He just shrugged. I took out a mentos I'm keeping in my pocket and placed it in my mouth after taking the wrapper off.

"I can't believe you prefer eating a candy than this cheesecake." Then suddenly, he held out a paper plate with a slice of cheesecake and plastic fork. "This is my last offer. Take it or leave it?"

I hate him even more for teasing me like this. But I hate my stomach more right now. Swallowing my pride, I slowly stood up and started walking towards him. And just when I was about to take the plate, he moved it closer to him. "Hey!" I complained.

"Before I give this to you, you have to answer my question honestly first." He spoke with a smirk again.

"What?!" I exclaimed.

He put down the plate in the table in front him. And then he decided to ask. "Do you think I'm hot?"

"Are you serious?! I think you know my answer to that." I responded instantly, then I looked at the cake.

"Okay, seriously, why do you hate me? It's not like I'm doing anything bad to you."

I checked his face to know if he's serious or not. Judging by the serious expression plastered on his face now, I think he might be really serious this time. "You want to know why? Okay, I'll tell you. It's because of that stupid smirk you always have that I hate so much." I answered since it is somewhat true.

Since Sasuke nodded, I took it as a sign that I can eat now. I sat down in the chair in front of the table where the plate of cheesecake is. I immediately put a spoonful in my mouth. Sasuke wasn't lying when he said it tastes good. Probably one of the best cheesecakes I've ever tasted.

When Sasuke saw me enjoying it, he didn't try to take it away despite not being satisfied with my answer. Instead, he just spoke. "I thought you said you don't like taking things that aren't yours?"

I looked at him. "I'm only eating this because you insisted on letting me have it. And who am I to decline food? Food is a blessing." I lied, not wanting to let him have the satisfaction of seeing me eat my words.

"I wonder what I'm going to give Karin now that you ate her cake." He suddenly brought up.

Annoyed by the mention of Karin's name, I glared at him. Upon doing so, I caught sight of a rose and a box of chocolates beside him, the same one he used to give Sakura. "I don't think she's going to be disappointed with just a rose and a box of chocolate. You can just call her name and she'll still feel elated." I mumbled, and took another bite.

"These aren't for her. It's for someone else." He answered.

I raised my eyebrow at him. "Are you saying that you're courting someone else besides Karin?" I assumed, seeing he's giving those to another girl. "How could I forget? You're a player so that's nothing to be surprised about."

Normally, Sasuke just shrug off my nasty remarks but this time he actually defended himself. "Who said I'm courting Karin or that other girl? I'm giving those as a reward for someone who managed to be with me even though she didn't need to."

"Oh, then that girl must be Sakura. Since she went out with you even though you were a big jerk." I shot at him, glad to have a chance to bring up Sakura so he would at least feel guilty.

"Why would I give those to Sakura? She hates almonds."

He knows that? Every Valentine's, when he and Sakura were together, he would always give her the same kind of chocolates, a box of chocolates with almonds. And sure enough, Sakura never ate them since she doesn't like almonds. So I eat them instead since almonds are my favorite. But Sakura and I just assumed that Sasuke didn't know. "Then why did you give the same kind of chocolates when you guys were still together?"

But he didn't answer it instead he asked back. "Why are you complaining? You're the one who gets to eat them. You love almonds, don't you?"

I opened my mouth to say anything about it but the door suddenly opened, revealing a not-so-happy Sakura and behind her are Kiba and Naruto. When she saw us, I noticed she's trying to hide back a feeling of being betrayed. But I can't really blame her. How would you feel when you see your ex-boyfriend and bestfriend sitting and eating cake together inside a dark classroom with only three candles lit.

"Sakura-chan." I started, standing up from my seat. "It's not what you think."

Sakura obviously didn't want to hear my explanation so she turned and started walking away. So I dashed out to go after her but not without slapping the arms of Naruto and Kiba. "I'm getting back at you two for this." I told them with a pout.

Naruto scratched the back of his head and grins at me while Kiba shrugged also with a matching grin. I jogged ahead until I found Sakura by her locker. She was talking to a guy who probably has a crush on her. He might be the one giving Sakura the sweet valentine she deserves so I didn't disturb them.

When I got to class, I was expecting the teacher to cut me some slack and not ask about my reason for being late but I was wrong since it's Valentine's. As soon as I entered the classroom, the teacher asked me why I was late.

"I was late because Sasuke pulled a prank on me. He locked me inside a room."

"Are you saying that someone pulled a prank on you instead of doing something sweet for you this Valentine's day?" She raised her brow at me. My classmates laughed at me but I ignored them and just nodded. "And you're saying it was Sasuke who did something like that?" She looked at me in disbelief. What can I do? Sasuke really charmed even the teachers.

From that point, I already knew that my teacher wasn't going to give me a break. Was it really harder to believe me than Sasuke? Once again, I was asked to stand in the back of the room. This time Gaara isn't here to make my punishment seem lighter or enjoyable. To make it worse, I noticed Gaara isn't even inside the room. Is it possible that Gaara is still with Ino right now and that I really was just a friend to him?

Suddenly, I felt a vibration in my pocket. Seeing that the teacher is busy writing in the board, I took my phone out and read the message.

[Gaara: Where are you? Why did you leave so quickly during lunch? I have something for you.]

Upon reading that, I felt my heart race. Gaara was going to give me something, that was why he wasn't around? That meant he's not with Ino after all. Instead, he's looking for me? The only problem now is I couldn't get out of the room. And just as I was about to reply, the teacher once again faced towards my direction so I hid my cellphone again. I just held in my excitement until class is over.

Once I walked out of the room, I dialed Gaara's number to see if I could meet him. Unfortunately, he's not answering the call so I just headed for my locker.

Upon opening my locker, I saw the box of chocolates, or at least the same one, I saw with Sasuke earlier.

Could it really be from Sasuke? Or was it from Gaara?
