As soon as I saw Karin's name flashing, I pressed the cancel button. But just after a second of ignore it, she called again and I cancelled again. When she called the third time, I cancelled and decided to silent his phone and put it in my nighstand.

I changed clothes and went down so we could eat dinner. It didn't take long since dad and Neji-nii are supposed to go to the company tonight. Hanabi should be early tomorrow so we decided against watching movies.

I went back to my room and took Sasuke's phone. Karin has more than 10 missed calls. I rolled my eyes at her determination. The phone began vibrated with Karin's name flashing again. I immediately cancelled it and dialled my own number.

Sasuke answered after four rings. "Why isn't my name saved under Hubby?" He immediately complained. "And what kind of ring tone do you have? It's horrible." He continued insulting.

"Stop complaining, it was your idea to swap phones. If you're unhappy with my phone then just give it back." I retorted and remembered why I called in the first place. "Anyway, Karin has been calling you non-stop. What do I do?"

"Answer it." He replied non-chalantly.

"Are you crazy? If I answer her call, she'd be furious." I reminded him.

"Hn. It's only natural for my girlfriend to answer my phone. I'm answering your calls too, and so far, none complained." He remarked like it was nothing.

I temporarily forgot the issue with Karin at what he said. What if Sakura-chan calls? She'd be hurt! "Hey, you're ruining my privacy! I don't answer your calls so don't answer mine.

"So go and answer them. It's not like I forbid you to do so. Besides, your friend didn't seem to mind me answering. We had a serious talk."

I suddenly got anxious now. A friend of mine that he had serious talk with? Could he mean... "Who was that friend of mine?"

"Someone I know. We just had a little talk about this girl he likes. I was discouraging him, and I even told him to leave her alone." Was it Gaara? Could it be? But it wasn't possible. I'm not the type of girl who can cause guys to fight. That was Sakura or Ino. Not me.

My heart started beating faster. It was Gaara for sure. "How could you do that? Do you see me stopping you from talking to Karin?" I said angrily.

"I don't even really talk to Karin. And what are you talking about?"

He sounded like he doesn't know a thing but I knew better than to believe his acting. "I'm talking about how you told him not to see me anymore just because you're jealous."

"Why would I tell Sai not to see you when he doesn't even like you more than a friend?" He remarked making me feel very embarrassed at what I just did. "Do you think Sai likes you that way? Does he look at you in that way? Should I strangle him?"

I felt my cheeks heat up. And what did he just say? Why would he strangle Sai? It was strange though. Sai never called me before. "I-I was j-just testing you.. I already know it was Sai. I j-just wanted to see how you'd react to my joke. Hehe." I sweatdropped at my lameness. I let out an awkwad laugh and cleared my throat. "So, what did he say?"

Typical Sasuke, doesn't dwell on things much, he didn't mind my change of topic. "He was just wondering if you know why Yamanaka isn't answering his call." He replied non-chalantly. "I have to go." He suddenly ended our conversation.

Since I remembered he said he answered my calls, I'm pretty sure he read every messages I have so I'm going to do the same. I actually expected to read a lot of messages, especially from his fangirls. But when I did see his inbox, there were only three messages. Nothing from Karin. One was from Naruto-kun, one from Sai and one from me.

Since I didn't see anything interesting in his inbox, I moved to his gallery. It was full of his pictures. I continued to scroll down and found a picture of a familiar girl sleeping with a piece of bread in her hand, like she fell asleep while eating. I was actually going to laugh at the foolish girl but then it strucked me that the girl is none other than me.

As I wonder why he has this picture of mine, I continued to scroll down and found another picture of me. This time, I looked like I was puffing my cheeks while looking at the black board with a board expression. But those two weren't all of it. There was also a picture of me sleeping with a drool on my lips.

Annoyed by the fact that he took pictures of me in my most embarrassing moments, I stopped looking at his gallery. I was about to call him again to confront him about the pictures but the phone started ringing flashing Karin's name again.

I finally had enough of it, since Sasuke said I can answer his calls, I am going to answer Karin's.

"Sasuke-kun! Why weren't you answering your phone? Are you feeling alright? I was really worried since you ate that disgusting food."

I wasn't going to speak but my blood boiled as soon as she insulted my cooking, so I decided to react. "For your information, that disgusting food is completely edible."

There was silence in the line, maybe she was surprised that it was me who answered. "Hyuuga Hinata? Why are you answering Sasuke-kun's phone? Are you with him right now?" She asked continuously. But before I could answer, she threw accusations at me. "No, wait. That isn't it. You probably stole his phone, didn't you?" She remarked angrily.

"Why would I steal my boyfriend's phone?" I remarked back, finding something to annoy her.

She let out a sarcastic laugh. "Are you kidding me? Everyone knows you aren't a real couple. You're just finding an excuse to stab him in the back." She hissed.

Because of that, I suddenly felt defensive. I wasn't really that mean, right? I'm just trying to teach Uchiha Sasuke a lesson, not stab him cruelly. "I'm not lie you, Karin. I don't stab people at the back. I do it face-to-face. You're just jealous because Sasuke chose me instead of you." I answered in my most cruel voice.

Karin went silent again. Probably taken aback by what I said. "I'm telling you. If he finds out you stole his phone, he'll break up with you."

Was she deaf or what? "I already told you, he gave it to me. He asked me to switch phone earlier. Jealous yet?" I remarked sarcastically.

"Me? Jealous with the likes of you? And did you really expect me to believe that? Even when Sakura was Sasuke-kun's girlfriend, he never let her carry his phone, not even once. In fact, he never lets anyone touch his phone at all. Not even Naruto. So why would he deliberately give you his phone? You're obviously just playing with him."

From what she just said, she really sounded like she's jealous of me. And so I decided to rub it in on her. "I don't know. Maybe because he really likes me?"

Karin went silent again for a few seconds and then she warned me. "You better watch your back at school, Hyuuga." Then she hang up.
