Chapter One

The Bet

His bright blue eyes stared at me unblinkingly, seeming to almost pierce right into my very soul. My pale hands shook from their place on the stiff, wooden table in nervousness. I couldn't control the way that my breath hitched just from the short amount of space between us. His warm, minty breath filled my senses as his smooth, unblemished face inched slowly towards mine and I watched his perfect, soft lips part while my heart beat nearly out of my chest. Sliding my eyes closed, I braced myself for the moment when his lips would touch mine, stealing away my very first kiss. This would be the moment that I would remember for-

"Oh you have got to be kidding me." I mumbled out into the empty space in the air. The rough, hard backed booked slipped out of my hands and onto the smooth mahogany desk in front of me, the title staring at me in golden bold letters as if silently screaming at me for uncaringly dropping it. Pushing up my silver framed glasses from their place sliding down my nose, I crossed my converse clad feet from their position propped up on the librarian's desk in front of me.

"Who would want to read that crap?" My dull voice echoed around the large, quiet library, bouncing off of the shiny tiled walls and through the expensive looking bookcases. The clock on the far wall tilted to one side as it tried to hang on , and obnoxiously ticked down the seconds until I could get out of here. I volunteered at the school library and had to work from the time that classes let out until the clock struck four-thirty, and it had to be the most peaceful way to spend my time. As soon as the last bell in school rang, students would mob out into the hall like a stampede of wild animals, trampling over anyone who dared to get into their path to freedom. While everyone else was outside yelling and screaming their little heads off about what guy looked at them, or what girl had the shortest skirt, I barricaded myself in the library. It was rare for anyone to come into my sanctuary for any reason, so it was my chance to just sit back and relax away from the screaming mob outside. The library was it's own special building set a few feet apart from the main part of the school, so I usually just hung out here and finished my homework until every last soul left the premises. No, I'm not one of those people who hate being near any living being, I just don't like to waste my time comparing how cute one guy is to the next or how much my life sucks.

Pushing off of the desk with my feet, I sent the brown leather chair I was in rolling backwards, the sound of my feet hitting the gray carpet loud to my ears. My name was Lyn Sorano, age sixteen and in class 2-A of Konoha High school, home of the Leaf Bandits. I was no one that you could really call special; I chose not to engage myself in a social circle, and I didn't try to be popular.

Bending down, I felt for the sandpaper texture that was my book bag and grabbed hold onto the single strap, standing up as I slipped it over my tiny shoulder. The material dug into the soft flesh at my neck until I shifted it to rest on the wool of my baggy white shirt. Glancing again up to the clock hanging onto the wall for dear life, I hollered into the tiny room in the back of the library that I was leaving. My call was met by a muffled goodbye from the old, senile librarian stacking books in the back and I slipped my way outside. I was greeted by the rush of cool air as I pushed open the swinging metal door and the scents of nature assaulted my nose, causing me to take a deep breath. Green trees whispered their hello's as I passed, the rough gravel of the pavement beneath my feet crunching to fill the silence. I hummed the last few bars of Itoshii Hito by Miyavi under my breath as I trekked back towards the school. I never had the chance to go to my locker right after the day ended, so I just waited patiently for everyone to leave before I made my way to my locker.

The silent whispers of the dead hallway met my ears as I pulled the brass handle of the large, beige door and stepped foot into the building. My footsteps were muffled as I softly padded my way down the long, steel, winding staircase in the middle of the floor. The school itself was really an architectural beauty. It's large marble beams supported the glass ceiling above as the sunlight reflected off of the glassy tiled floor, sending tiny beams of light bouncing off of the pale blue walls. All of the classroom doors were made purely of pinewood and each door had it's own special design that the art students had carved into them.

As my foot finally hit the last marble step, I sauntered off to the left, making my way down the rows of black metal lockers, scanning the doors for their numbers until I finally made it to mine. I twisted the silver lock, only stopping at the right numbers, and I pulled outwards, the locker opening with a click. Reaching in, I pulled out the necessary papers and heavy cardboard bound textbooks that I would need to study, and slowly slipped them into the brown bookbag on the floor by my feet. I was just shutting my locker closed when a loud bang echoed down the hallway followed by a clank and the voice of someone cursing. Curiously, I walked down the hallway and peeked around the corner. Pieces of metal and a binder were strewn across the floor and the wooden top of a desk lay broken in the middle of the floor. I couldn't help but tilt my head in confusion at the mess as I brushed my dark hair out of my eyes. A flash of blonde and a groan of pain caught my attention and I stepped around the corner with a look of concern on my face.

"Are you alright?" I asked the blonde as I carefully stepped around the papers littering the ground. I was met with another groan and met the baby blue eyes of the culprit.

"Yeah, I'm okay, heh heh." He sounded sheepish as he slowly picked himself up off the ground and I couldn't help but let out a sigh. I should have known.

Naruto Uzumaki-first in line to the thrown of popularity and best friend to the king of the school Sasuke Uchiha- stood before me with an embarrassed grin on his face as he rubbed the back of his head. I didn't want to, but I had to ask anyway.

"What…what happened?" Well they always did say curiosity killed the cat.

"Well you see," Naruto explained sheepishly, "I couldn't find my lucky necklace and I looked everywhere for it until Shikamaru told me that he saw Kiba put it in the air vent, so I tried to get it out but the desk I was standing on broke and I fell, heh heh."

"I'm sorry I asked." I muttered. Turning around, I went to leave until a hand caught my arm and spun me back around, causing me to come face to face with a very orange shirt. Lifting my gaze I met the bright blue orbs of Naruto.

"Hey, what's your name?" He asked and I raised an eyebrow at the question.

"Lyn Sorano." I twisted my arm out of his grasp and adjusted my bookbag strap higher onto my shoulder. A big grin suddenly spread itself across the blonde's face and he jerked a thumb to his chest.

"Well I'm-"

"Naruto." I jumped a little, startled by the new voice and whipped around to see the face of the devil.

"Oh hey Sasuke!" Naruto shouted in my ear and I flinched. Said person scanned the ground and shook his head in what appeared to be exasperation.

"Dobe."

Naruto, appearing to not be disturbed by the insult, grinned and swung an arm around Sasuke's shoulders. "I was wondering where you were! Come on, I'm hungry and I'm in the mood for some ramen!"

Sasuke shrugged Naruto's arm off of him and muttered, "When are you not in the mood for ramen?"

With an over enthusiastic wave, Naruto bid me goodbye and walked away with Sasuke-who didn't bother to acknowledge my existence- slowly trailing after him.

"You didn't even clean up your mess…" I whispered to myself as I glanced back at the mess laying hazardly on the floor. With a sigh, I turned and started on my way home.

...

Sasuke watched as Naruto downed the rest of his ninth bowl of ramen in disgust. The slurping sound finally ended as the blonde slammed his empty bowl down on the table.

"Ahh! Soo good!" He exclaimed. "Hey, you gonna finish that?"

Sasuke who had suddenly lost his appetite, shook his head watched as Naruto took his bowl and started inhaling the remaining noodles.

"Hey Sasuke." A seductive came from behind. Turning around, he was met with the flirtatious smile and the pink hair of Sakura Haruno and he barely contained the grimace that started to make its way across his face.

"Hn." He grunted in recognition as he turned back around in his stool to face the bar. Sakura suddenly latched onto his arm and rested her chin on his shoulder.

"I was wondering," she started, only to be cut off.

"Oh, hey Sakura!" Naruto exclaimed just as he finished downing his noodles. "What are you doing here?"

Sakura barely spared him a second glance and turned back to Sasuke.

"Like I was saying before, I was wondering if you wanted to, you know, catch a movie or something?" She ended the sentence with a girlish giggle and her grip on his arm tightened.

"No." The monotonous response came from the boy whose hair oddly resembled the butt of a duck as he detangled himself from the pinkette's vice like grip. Sakura opened her mouth to answer but she was cut off from what ever she was about to say by a voice calling her name.

"I'll see you later Sasuke-kun~" She sing-songed before scampering off to join Ino Yamanaka.

Sasuke, who let out a sigh of relief, turned to see the exasperated face of Naruto.

"How do you do that?" He whined and tugged at the sleeve of Sasuke's soft black shirt.

"Do what, dobe?" He responded with a look of slight annoyance. He honestly didn't know why he stuck around the blonde sometimes.

"Get Sakura's attention like that!" Naruto yelled, catching the attention of half of the restaurant as he jumped off of his stool. "You know what? I bet that you can't make every girl fall in love with you just because of your looks! I don't understand the appeal anyway, no offense, but I don't think you're that sexy! Um, I mean, I don't think you're sexy at all because I don't twist that way. Not that I'm saying that being gay is a bad thing, I mean-"

Sasuke shook his head and let out a sigh of annoyance. "Naruto."

"Um anyway, believe it! You know what, I bet you one hundred thousand yen that you can't make one girl fall in love with you in," Naruto paused in thought before pointing a finger in Sasuke's face and declaring, "Sixty days! That's about two months!"

Now Sasuke's attention was caught and not just by the fact that Naruto knew how to count.

"One hundred thousand yen?" He asked with a smirk. "Fine, you have a deal."

"But," Naruto continued, "I get to pick the girl!"

The smirk was still in place, "Fine, who?"

There was a pregnant pause as the ramen lover thought over the possibilities before snapping his fingers together.

"Lyn Sorano, the chick I met in the hallway after school today!" He exclaimed and he held out his hand for Sasuke to shake.

"Deal."

Soo, worth continuing? Please review, I would love to hear your thoughts (:
