Normally, after some sort of revelation like that, especially in dramas, the leading man would kiss or hug the heroine. But Uchiha Sasuke wasn't always the type to follow trends so that probably wouldn't happen. Then again, he always does the opposite of what I expect so before he could do anything, I took out his cellphone from my pocket and pretended to read a message I received.

"Sasuke, I need to go. My brother just sent me a message saying he needs me home now." I told him, placing the phone back to my pocket before he try to snatch it from me to find out if what I said is true.

But, of course, he knew better. He raised an eyebrow at me. "Hyuuga Neji knows my number?" Sounding a bit suspicious.

I nodded in reply. "O-of course he does. I told him I swapped phones with Sakura-chan so I gave him your number in case he tries to reach me." I answered convincingly.

The truth is, Neji-nii have no idea that I didn't have my cellphone with me. He rarely calls or texts me so I think it was fine.

Upon hearing my answer, Sasuke smirked. That smirk which tells me he knows something I don't. And now I know exactly that I was busted.

"Is that so? Then why did someone named Nii-sama in your phonebook sent me a message saying he forgot he has a meeting so he couldn't take you and Hanabi to the mall later?"

Okay... So what he said was true. Neji-nii, Hanabi and I has plan to go out later today. Calm down, Hyuuga Hinata. Do. Not. Panic. I wasn't completely busted, right? "Hey! Why did you read even my personal messages?!" I snapped at him. An obvious attempt to change the topic and direct an accuse at him.

"Why don't you do the same?" He answered back with a smirk.

Actually, I did read one message from his heartthrob of a brother. But it wasn't intentional! I was in class during that time and the phone kept on vibrating so I took it from my pocket to stop it. It turned out to be Uchiha Itachi asking Sasuke where he placed the basketball. And then followed by a lecture to put back the ball where it should be. And a threat to put back Itachi's books back in his room or he swear to God he'll destroy Sasuke's room using just a pinky finger. Which was so funny by the way! Who knew the heartthrob and genius Uchiha Itachi could talk like that?

Nevertheless, he was right. I did the same so I decided to drop the subject.

"Whatever." I mumbled then I returned to my first agenda. "Anyway, can I go now? I still have a lot of homework to do."

"Are you saying your homework is more important than your boyfriend?" He said with a frown.

"Yes." I said flatly.

"You still can't go home yet. I'm still not satisfied with your punishment."

I frowned too but it feels so fake. I am actually enjoying our time together. Even if it's a punishment. My heartbeat is still not slowing down because of the confession which we're both trying to ignore. "What? How much longer do I have to stay then?"

He smirked evily as he raise two fingers. "Two more hours." He said and then his evil smirk just got more evil. Or is that even a thing? "Unless you give me a kiss."

I absolutely have no idea why but upon hearing that, I actually walked over to him with an equally evil smile and gave him a quick peck in the side of his lips. And exactly right after, I started running away the gym and towards my house.

It was only then a realization hit me. It was like my heart is about to explode. I just kissed Uchiha Sasuke. But that wasn't the fact that bothered me. It was not knowing the real reason why I did what I did. Did I kiss Sasuke because I wanted to? Do I actually like him enough to want to kiss him? I even smiled unconsciously while I was doing it. And Sasuke looked really surprised when I did it. Maybe I did what I did to make up for all the times he surprised me.

When I got home, as if Sakura-chan has an ESP, the phone rang with her on the line. "Hina! You were on a date with Sasuke-kun just now, were you?"

"Hey, are you spying on me? How did you know?" I exclaimed at her.

"I heard it from Naruto." She answered. "So how did it go?"

I felt myself blush as I remember my foolish actions. "It went well but it's not really a date. It's my punishment for breaking his rules." I replied.

She laughed. "How can a punishment go well? It must be a date for it to have ended well. And for you to actually say a date with Sasuke-kun went well, something must have happened. Spill it out, Hina-chan!" She responded with both teasing and excitement.

"Well..." I started but I really couldn't figure out how to let things out. Especially since he was my bestfriend's ex-boyfriend. I'm not completely sure if I could tell him my newfound feelings for Uchiha Sasuke. But then again, lately, she's been acting like she wanted me to go for Sasuke. And so to be sure, I have to confirm my theory first. "Sakura-chan, would you be mad if I were to say I'm starting to like Uchiha Sasuke? I mean, it'snotlikeIlikehimrightI'mjustwondering."

I heard her chuckled and then sighed. "Calm down, Hinata. Didn't I answer this before? Even if I'd feel hurt if I find out like Sasuke-kun, I wouldn't oppose it because I value our friendship more than anything." She spoke and then sighed again. It's as if she wants to say something but stopped herself. "Wait a minute... You like him already, do you?!"

"I... I think so..." I said in a whisper, feeling embarrassed since I actually vowed I'll never like or fall in love with Uchiha Sasuke. "Are you really okay with it?"

"Yes, of course!" She answered almost too immediately. "So don't feel guilty, okay?"

"Then... Can I ask you another question? Do you think it's possible for someone who just started liking someone to want to kiss that someone?"

There was sudden shuffling noises on the the other line, she was probably surprised by my question. "Hyuuga Hinata! You kissed Uchiha Freaking Sasuke?!"

"I-i-it was just a p-peck!" Yes, on the side of his lips. God, Hinata! "Anyway! Just answer my question, please?"

She laughed so much I wanted to scream and ask the floor to swallow me. "Actually, Hina-chan, I don't believe you've only started liking Sasuke-kun. I think it's been there since grade school. I know exactly what you're going to say. It's impossible, blah, blah, blah. You think it's impossible because you were trying to ignore him especially when he always went out of his way to talk to you which you say is annoying and try to ignore him. But look at it this way, maybe the reason why you're doing that is because you're trying to fight and resist the attraction you actually feel towards him?"

"No offense, Sakura-chan, but that theory sounds absurd. The only reason why I kept ignoring him was because I couldn't take all those stupid things he did." I told her not wanting to believe that I have hidden feelings for my former enemy.

She just wouldn't accept my denial though. "So then how would you explain your kissing him then?" She shot at me. "Face it, Hinata. You're been in love with Uchiha Sasuke."

Those last words of Sakura-chan before we hang up haunted me for the rest of the day. It even kept me up all night. Could it really be that I just didn't like him? Could I really be in love with Uchiha Sasuke? But just a few days ago, I hated the thought of him. How could I easily have a change of heart? Is what Sakura-chan said really the most sensible explanation?

The next day, I had no trouble waking up on time even if I hardly got any sleep. As early as 20 minutes before the bell ring, I was already by my locker getting the books I needed for my class. When I started walking to the classroom, I bumped into Ino so we ended up conversing.

"How are you? Did something good happen?" I asked noticing she's beaming.

"I'm fine. I'm just excited because I'm throwing a surprise birthday party for Sai today." She responded, looking around to make sure no one heard besides me. "I can't tell you the details but you'll see later."

I nodded in understanding. "I see. Good luck with that then."

"Thanks!" She replied with a grin. "Well, I better go. See you later!"

I said goodbye too and continued towards my destination. However, upon doing so, I was once again distracted by a familiar voice speaking from a classroom nearby. Thinking it was Sakura-chan, I walked over to the classroom door. The door was slightly opened so I was able to get a glimpse. It is indeed Sakura with Sasuke.

Sasuke was standing in front of Sakura with hands on his side pockets. He has a serious expression on mirroring Sakura's. At that moment, I was thinking that Sasuke is really doing his promise to fix things with Sakura-chan. But then I heard what Sakura-chan spoke of next.

"What's the matter? You don't believe me? Listen to, Sasuke-kun. Hinata-chan is not the type who forgets easily. Yes, she forgives but not when it's about her friends. When she found out Gaara lied to her, she never gave him another chance. She even pushed aside her feelings for him. What makes you think she'd forgive you so easily?"
