(Sasuke X Reader) The Eyes That Capture

Chapter 7

Everyone freezes when they see you.
They can't seem to take their eyes off of you. Confusion has taken over their mind.
The room is filled with an awkward silence.

"H-hye... " you say, trying to break the awkwardness, but they did not respond, instead just staring blankly at you.

"She's in the math team with us, so she's going to be around a lot. You guys have been talking about her a lot, right? So i think it might've been better if you know each other. "

Sasuke says as he takes a seat beside an irritated looking boy with spiky black hair tied in ponytail.

"You... Did...? "

Your question sends cold sweat dropping all over them. Their lips are sealed, afraid to mutter any word.

Suddenly, a boy with a messy brown hair, his eyes are sharp black with vertical slit-like pupil and has canine teeth, looks as if he has realized something and starts speaking.

"Oh right! You're the girl that can talk to the ghost, right?! "

His question startles everyone in the room.

You widen your eyes.

"Me what?!"

Being engulfed by shock, you can't help but to raise your voice a little bit.

"N-no! He was kidding! Right, kiba?"

A blond-haired guy with blue eyes interjects, seeming to fix the 'misunderstanding'. A smile is plastered on his face.

"Y-yeah, he is! Ha ha ha! Kiba sure jokes a lot lately! "

A beautiful long haired girl adds, also with the same awkward smile.

The guy called kiba looks confused.

"Huh? What are you talking about, ino? You are the one who told us that-"

Kiba is unable to finish his sentence as the blond-haired girl covers his mouth.

"Shut the hell out or I'll kill you."

She whispers, threat can be detected in her voice. Stunned, kiba just stays quiet.

"S-sorry about that, hahaha! We were just playing around and kiba here really likes to pull a joke."

The girl pats the frightened kiba on his shoulder.

You glare at them.

"Really..? " you ask, suspicious of their attitude.

The girl flashes a wide smile.

"Yeah, of course! I'm ino by the way. We're in the same class, you know. "

She says, proudly.

You stare at her for a while.

'We are? I don't think I've ever seen her before.'

You smile at her.

"Y-yeah, of course. I'm [name] "

"Oh, hye [name]. I'm naruto! Here is kiba."

The blond-haired boy also introduces himself.

"My name is sakura. " a pink-haired girl joins in.

"Temari here."

"I'm neji. "

"Shino"

"I-i'm hinata."

Everyone starts introducing themselves one by one.

"Hey, shikamaru! Introduce yourself. "

Temari pokes the guy that is sitting beside sasuke.

He sighs.

"Shikamaru. "

He mutters, irritated.

"Well, it may be hard to remember all of our names, but it's okay. Take your time."

Ino says while patting your shoulder.

"Have you eaten, [name]?"

Sakura asks cheerfully.

"No, not yet. "

"Oh, great! Come join us! We have lots of food here. "

"But... " you hesitate for a while.

"Is it okay? I mean, it's your food. I can't just burst in here and eat all of these, right?"

Sakura smiles kindly at you.

"Don't worry. We share all of our food. You don't have to be shy. Naruto here has been eating only other's food for almost two years now. And he's not feeling guilty at all. So don't worry. There is always someone worse than you. "

"O-oii, sakura. Isn't that too harsh? "

Naruto protests a little bit.

"Shut up, naruto. Come, [name]. Have a seat. "

Sakura seats you on a chair beside her and starts giving you food to eat.

At first, it is kind of awkward. But everyone is showing you kindness that you can't reject. They are all wonderful people. Even though you have just met, it feels like you have known them for ages.

They start telling you stories about themselves and how they become friends.

Sasuke, naruto and sakura are childhood friend.
Hinata's and sasuke's fathers are partners in business.
Neji is hinata's cousin and is ordered to take care of her while shino and kiba are hinata's friends since middle school.
Ino is sakura's current neighbor and
Temari is classmates with sakura and sasuke. Shikamaru is ino's childhood friend.

They often hang out in the empty music room with permission from the principal. Well, the principal is naruto's father anyway. That's why.

"Shikamaru's father is the head of an intelligence organization, you know. "

Naruto says, proud of his friends.

"O-oii, we're talking about my father now?"

Shikamaru who has been quiet the whole time finally speaks.

Naruto grins and continue talking about others.

The music room becomes merrier with all the chats.

You only listen to them happily as they tell their stories.

It has been a long time since you are talking like this with your friends. It makes you feel so happy. The smile doesn't escape your lips even for a while.

Meanwhile, in between the chatters, there is a pair of black eyes that keeps staring at you. He doesn't say a word, nor giving respond, but the others don't really bother because that is how he is.

He is just watching and as he watches,  a smile lands on his lips.

'Beautiful. '
