Note: Because I'm in love with this story and really, really don't want it to end, I'm continuing on with it and even if I don't have many reviews, those who review make me smile!
This is in a really weird kind of writing, like, in my perspective. There is all this dialogue and me just coming in and saying inspiring stuff that I think is cool, but if you hate it, I'm sorry. It's like a he-said/she-said kind of thing, hence the chapter name of it.
Expect the Unexpected
Chapter Eight
"So, you like him?" Tenten asked as Temari looked at her friend with confusion.
"Um, yeah, I think so." Sakura answered while blushing.
"For serious?" Ino questioned with a look of utter shock plastered all over her face.
"As in, love-y dove-y kiss-y, kind of like?" Temari asked.
"Yes."
"Awesomeness!" Ino cheered. This most certainly surprised Sakura because just the other day, they were saying that they didn't want her to fall for Sasuke.
"What, you guys are okay with this?" Tenten asked, for she was just as confused as her pink-haired best friend.
"Yeah, why wouldn't we?" Temari questioned.
"Just the other day, you said not to fall in love with him!" Sakura exclaimed while throwing her arms in the air.
"Well, Temari and I discussed it and we decided that it was okay that you are in love with him, really. You can like whoever you want." Ino explained.
"Thanks you guys!" Sakura and her friends shared a group hug. "I love you guys!"
"So, are you two like, officially an item?" Ino asked.
"Well, I mean, he considered last night a date, but I don't know. Maybe." All the girls let out giggles and aw-s. This is why Sakura loved her friends so dearly.
…
"So, are you two dating?" Naruto asked his dearest friend who was currently getting stuff out of his locker.
"Hm, I don't know." Sasuke answered nonchalantly, trying not to let his friend's words faze him.
"Well, do you want to?"
"I guess."
"Wow teme, you sound so enthusiastic."
"Well, it's not that important. She's just another girl."
"Just another girl? Are you kidding me?"
"It's really not important. Just another moody girl who'll be annoying and waste my time with her annoying-ness and be a brat and only want me for my looks."
"You really are a conceited jackass, you know that, right?"
"So I've heard."
"You better be careful with her heart and everything, or I swear I'll kick your ass."
"Hn, whatever." Naruto just sighed, walking away from his alleged best friend. When will that idiot melt his heart and become a softy, like Naruto himself, who isn't doing too badly with the ladies these days.
Sasuke just needs to lighten up and let love in. He was acting pretty odd though since just this weekend, he was snuggling with Sakura under the stars, and then today, he said he didn't care. Maybe he was PMS-ing.
Well, Naruto didn't care that much, for he knew that Sakura would never find out about this. How wrong he was.
…
"And then he said 'Hn, whatever' like it didn't matter at all! Like I didn't matter at all!" Sakura wailed while bringing her soft, pink pillow closer to her face.
"What a heartless jerk!" Ino announced, flailing her arms in the air. Oh how she is starting to hate that Uchiha. Sure, he's really good-looking, but he's such a heartbreaker.
"I know! I don't even know why I thought I loved him."
"L-Loved him?" Hinata stuttered, a look adorning her face that showed evident disbelief.
"Yeah, for some odd reason. I hate him now, like officially."
Hinata was having quite a large amount of trouble keeping this in. She shouldn't tell Naruto. She knows that best friends come before the guy you love. She knows that if she tells him, Sasuke would find out.
But sometimes, you don't always follow what you know.
…
"She loved me?"
"Yeah teme, and now she doesn't. Great job."
"How did she even find out?"
"Apparently, as Hinata-chan said, she was walking to lunch when she heard 'just another girl' and then paid attention."
"So she freakin' eavesdropped on us?"
"Hey, we kind of did the same thing. Hinata-chan is telling me this information without her knowing!"
"What a great friend." This was muttered, but still heard by the protective blond.
"Hey, don't diss Hinata-chan, okay? She's happy and fine and everything wonderful. And without her, you wouldn't know half the things that you're hearing now!"
"Hn, fine."
"So, are you going to fix this?"
"How?"
"I don't know. Apologize?"
"No, because then she'd know that I knew and then she'd get mad at Hinata and it just wouldn't end well."
"Wow, Sasuke-teme is being sensitive and taking things into prospective. Weirdness."
"Don't even go there dobe. You're still a baka."
"But a smart one!"
"A smart idiot? Yeah, sure, that makes sense."
…
"So Naruto-kun said that he really didn't mean it." Hinata explained while pacing around the room.
"My ass he didn't mean it. Of course he did. He wants a pretty, un-Sakura-ish girl that is a total whore and walks around flaunting her stuff and doesn't do sports and is more popular and…and…yeah." Sakura was not one for heartbreak, but really, who is?
"Sakura, you're the best thing that he'll ever find, and you know it. He's just in denial because guys like him don't like being whipped. They like being free and not like admitting to liking a girl." Ino stated.
"Then why didn't he do it before?" Sakura asked.
"Because he never considered you two a thing before; just a boy-toy." Ino tried.
"Because he's an idiot." Tenten said. Sakura giggled, but only a little for her heart was still broken and it would not tolerate happiness. But who could be happy at such a sad time?
"I think I just need to get away from him, you know? My heart has been broken enough by such a jerk, so I've just gotta ignore him and everything will be fine, you know?" Sakura suggested, even though she wasn't ready for him to leave her life.
"Yeah, okay."
…
"She's just going to ignore me now?" Sasuke asked, scandalized.
"Yeah, that's what Hinata-chan said. She says that you've hurt her to much and being near you would only make it worse."
"Why are girls so full of drama? Why can't they be simple and easy-going like us guys? No one will ever understand them."
"Hinata-chan always says that it's the other way around."
"Hn, whatever."
"So what are you going to do?"
"Try to get her to not ignore me."
"But she's pissed. She'll never fall for your Uchiha charm again. Face it man, you failed and now you must face the consequences of not getting a girl to like you."
"She will like me again, I'm sure of it."
"Whatever you say teme."
…
"Oh my god! I did not just see him flirting with Karin?" Sakura demanded to herself while hitting her head against the bathroom wall.
"Um, no, she was just talking to him. He wasn't enjoying it." Hinata tried to convince.
"I bet he was! I bet he's going out with her!"
"If you're over him, then it doesn't matter, right?" Sakura smiled at her friend.
"You're right Hinata. Thank you so much! You're always there for me and so loyal. I can always trust you. Thank you for being such an amazing friend."
Hinata couldn't help but feel guilty at her statement, for she was a traitor to her, telling Naruto and Sasuke this information that she was hearing. She just kept telling herself that it would be better in the future when they are together.
The future was the only thing that kept her going.
…
"She thought that I was flirting with Karin?" Sasuke was outraged right now. How could she think such a thing? He was pushing her away!
"I don't know man. You do come off as slightly man-whore-ish."
"Just the other day everyone was telling me I'm a hermit, and now I'm a whore. Make up your freakin' minds already!"
"Sorry man. Just make it right, okay?"
"Hn." Naruto just looked at his friend oddly. Couldn't he see how badly he was screwing up right now? He then realized what he had to do.
'Time to go find Hinata-chan…'
So, this was kind of short, and kind of late, but I think I should get some brownie points for continuing this, seriously!
I love the story line and everything, and I hope you guys liked this chapter. I feel bad about Hinata though. And Sasuke was kind of moody-ish and OOC-ish, but not too much, right?
Like it?
