《 Every face wears a mask 》

♧ Chapter 11: Clowns And Not ♧

Naruto POV:

"Good mooorning, Sasuke" I yelled smiling and running towards Sasuke.
"Morning, dobe." He answered coldly.
He looked very tired. He had visible eye-bags underneath his eyes.
"Couldn't you sleep well?"
"I didn't close an eye. I'm dealing with insomnia."
"Oh. Have you thought about taking sleeping pills?"
"I followed a treatment for a while. But even the sleeping pills you aren't allowed to take for too long or else you will get addicted to them."

As soon as we got to school, Sasuke was surrounded by fangirls. What surprised me was that Ino and Sakura where nowhere to be found. That must be bad news.
I went to my locker to get my books for the first period out when I noticed a poster. Apparently if you write a poetry that is worth the first place you can win 5000¥ ....wow this is perfect. If I win this I will afford to buy Sasuke a new T-shirt. But can I write a poetry that will be good enough? Without realising it I was staring at the poster for like 10 minutes. Apparently everybody went to classes. Fuck I'm 5 minutes too late. I was about to dash off to my class when I was abruptly dragged into the bathroom.
No one else was here, that means that no one can save me. No one will hear me.
Two boys were holding me from each side, making sure that I can't move. When I looked up I noticed Sai. Of course that this must be Kiba's gang doing.
The next second I was punched in the stomach really hard causing me to fell on my knees. I started having trouble breathing.
Sai pulled my hair making me look at him.
"Hold him" he ordered. Having that said he started putting make up on my face. Make up and paint.
I didn't even have the strength to fight back. I didn't have the strength to speak up. What is the point in doing so? It's always the same story.
After he was content with his little art project he started taking pictures of me.
"Please...please just stop." I said with a weak voice.
"What was that? I didn't quite catch it." He said with a smile.
" I..I said...leave me alone"
He smirked and then throw another punch to my stomach.
I felt the other two guys let me go.
"Listen here, Uzumaki. This is just the beginning. Kiba has a message for you: Your hell here has just begun. I hate the likes of you the most. So pathetic, you don't have the courage to even stand up for yourself."
After that he left. Tears started rolling down my face as I was desperately gasping for air. Maybe I should just die.

Sasuke POV:

15 minutes have passed and the seat next to me was still empty. I had a very bad feeling about it. Deciding to follow my gut I stood up and asked for permission to go to the bathroom.
I thought that Naruto might be crying in the bathroom again so I went to look for him there.
But what I saw when I walked in made my heart skip a beat.
I immediately knelt down beside him. Was he having a panic attack? Nah, I doubt it. He was desperately gasping for air while holding his stomach.
When he looked up at me I saw that his face was painted with make up? This must have been Kiba's doing. Fuck I shouldn't have left him out of my sight.
Not knowing what else to do I hugged him.
He was also crying which made it harder for him to breath.
"I'm here Naruto. Please calm down."
He started to calm down and breath normally again, but that didn't stop him from crying. I hugged him tighter.
"What happened to you, Naruto? Who did it?"
No answer, just sobs.
I was doing my best to comfort him, to prevent him from falling to pieces.
After he calmed down he told me everything that had happened.
I was filled with anger. I'm going to kill Sai, but Naruto comes first.
He started washing his face and I helped him clean himself up.
I wanted to clean some paint off his cheek when our faces were dangerously close.
I turned paler than usual, because Uchihas don't blush. (Me: Sasuke made me write that. Actually he is blushing,too.
Sasuke: As if someone would believe that your own character forced you to do something. Uchihas don't blush and that's a fact.)
Naruto's face became as red as a tomato. The bell rang waking us up from the trance and I quickly pulled away.

"We should go to class...''

"Yeah, we should.''

The second we stepped in the hallway, I got a notification on my phone. And then Naruto, too. And after that notifications were heard from everywhere. People started laughing. I pulled my phone out and when I looked I was shocked. I quickly turned to Naruto to stop him from looking at his phone but it was too late. He already did. I grabbed him by his wrist and dragged him in the classroom, that was now empty. Naruto kept silent.

Apparently Sai created a page anti Naruto. He posted pictures of him from yesterday at lunch and from today in the bathroom. There was also a picture of me and Naruto hugging. Though you couldn't tell that it was me. Just what is their plan? The comments were so nasty and cruel. I reported the page then asked Naruto to give me his phone. I blocked the page from his phone so he wouldn't be able to get notifications or view the page.

"Let's go Naruto. We're taking today off." He didn't argue. Actually he didn't even say a word. His expression looks broken. When we were about to leave I noticed Sai in the schoolyard. Without saying a word I went straight to him.

''Sasuke what are you-" I threw my backpack on the ground ignoring Naruto . Sai was in front of me with a smile. I launched at him and...
