boruto's pov
i walk into the dorm with mitsuki, earning a glare from inojin and cho-cho. shikadai waves, grabs his bag, then cho-cho, and the two are out of the door.
"HEY! I WANTED TO STAY!" i hear cho-cho whisper-yell.
"come on, let's go cho. i'm not letting you stay." he groans.
"fine, whatever." she says.
i sheepishly smile at inojin, and look over at sarada.
she looked so peaceful, just laying there. sure, she had a bruised eye, but she still looked.. calm? how do people look so calm after practically getting beat up?
"6ft distance from her please." inojin says, glaring at me. i scoff, looking at him. excuse me? i'm being nice and he's gonna treat me like this?
"no need to be such a downer, inojin." i reply. he looks at me, then at mitsuki, practically screaming get-him-out-of-here with his eyes. mitsuki shrugs.
i hear a soft groan escape the dark haired uchiha, and my eyes gaze to her. she sits up yawning. putting her glasses and looks around.
"jin, tell me i'm hallucinating?" she says, looking straight at me. he looks at her and then at me, i wave at her, smiling a little.
she waves back, a small smile on her lips. mitsuki grabs inojin, and they leave the room. i couldn't help but eavesdrop on their conversation outside.
"HEY! I DO NOT TRUST THAT BASTARD WITH MY LITTLE SISTER."
"shh. we have school, don't we?"
"I CAN DO ONLINE."
"come on, let's get her food."
"YOU CAN, I'LL WATCH HER!"
the silence fills the hallway, so i assumed that mitsuki dragged inojin out of there. she looks at the nightstand, as more silence fills the room.
"don't you have school? and your girlfriend?" she asks, breaking the silence. i look at her, confused and sorry written all over my face. "sorry. i didn't mean it in a rude way."
"no offense taken. i can do online. sumire's in class. plus, it's kinda rude if i don't pay ya a visit, right?" i ask. she raises her eyebrow, and the guilt pours back into me.
"thought you didn't care." she says quietly.
"come on, my childhood friend gets beaten up-"
"you didn't care last night." she snaps.
"right."
the silence fills the room. she grabs the glass of water on the night stand and takes a sip.
"sorry, sarada." i say, fiddling with my fingers.
"don't say it if you don't mean it." she replies, taking another sip.
"really? so i apologize once and then you act all bitchy about it?"
"i'm a bitch now?"
"wait.. no..."
she rolls over to the other side and faces the wall opposing me. i could hear a small sniffle come from her, and she puts the blanket over her.
"hey.." i say, pulling the blanket off of her. "sorry.. i snapped." i continue. her dark onyx orbs look straight at me. i could feel those feelings from years ago pouring in, topping off the guilt.
"whatever." she replies. she grabs her frog stuffy and holds on to it, not meeting my eyes.
"come on, i mean it this time." i say, truthfully. she cuddles with the frog stuffy, probably not listening to a word i say. i grab the frog stuffy out of her hands, and she glares at me.
"what was that for?" she says, glaring at me still.
"you need to listen to what i'm saying." i reply, calmly. she groans and sits back up. i give her a small smile. "thanks."
"make it quick. mr. coco puffs isn't gonna wait for long." she replies. i couldn't tell if she was joking or being serious, but i tried to make it quick.
"i'm genuinely sorry from the bottom of my heart. and i didn't mean to call you a b word. i'm also sorry that i didn't visit you yesterday and picked sumire over you." i say quickly. she makes a face, considering my apology.
"fine. i'll accept your apology. can you get me my laptop? i need to do school. and so do you." she sighs. i motion her a small thumbs up and go outside of the dorm, grabbing my laptop and hers.
[ time skip , 5th period ]
the whole day i did online school, watching over sarada, and doing my own schoolwork. even though she was the sick one, it felt like she was watching over me more than herself.
i grab my pencil, taking notes to what professor anko was saying. i heard a small snore, and to my surprise, sarada was falling asleep. her glasses were slowly falling off, and she was leaning to the left. i admire her sleeping, which i quickly snapped out of, since i looked like a whole creep.
i take her glasses off on place it on the nightstand and took her laptop. i then made her all comfy in her bed, placing mr. coco puffs right in her arms. it made me happy, knowing she was good and still her normal self.
it felt still. like the world was finally at peace.
now i sound like sarada. have i been hanging out with sarada too much?
i chuckle to myself, trying to be as quiet as possible. i then go back to my chair. finishing up schoolwork, i couldn't help but glance at sarada a few couple times.
she just looked so peaceful and calm. even though who knows how much pain she's going through, she was still herself. i wish i didn't ditch her for sumire last night..
i whip out my phone and check my messages. i saw 20 messages from sumire. ignoring all of them, i went to sarada's contact and unblocked her.
i then placed it on the nightstand. i walk over to sarada, and sit in the bed, watching her.
before i knew it, i fell asleep, my hand around sarada's waist and resting my head on her shoulder.
