♡ The Only Player SasuSaku ♡

♡ Part 28: figuring feelings out ♡

the bell rang and they all headed to their lockers and soon to class. as usual, sakura, sasuke and naruto walked together but there was one thing that was different. people were staring at the raven haired boy and little whispers with his name could be heard. 

she looked over to sasuke but he didn't really seem to care much. though, he dug his hands deeper into his pockets and looked down with the slightest bit of mortification in his gaze.

'tsk....'

he didn't really like all this attention. it was bad enough that he got attention from random girls before, but now everyone seems to be staring at his face because of the bruise. it just made him feel weird.

they got to class and took their seats. their sensei had yet to arrive but so did another, sasori.

naruto: by the way teme, my mom grounded sasori

sasuke: i forgot that weasel was your cousin

sasuke chuckled at the new nickname he gave the tomato head and naruto just looked at him weirdly

naruto: even when injured you're still as annoying as ever, teme

sasuke hit naruto's arm and finally their sensei came in

kakashi started the lesson and sasuke slouched into his chair to get a little more comfortable. he stared at his hand and remembered the face that sakura had when she saw how wrecked he looked. while he was in his train of thought, a little paper was thrown at him. he took it and opened it

"pay attention raven head -pinky :D"

he looked over to sakura who smiled at him, he gently smiled back and started paying attention.

the class continued and it finally finished. as they all got up and started leaving, sasuke remained in his seat

sakura: are you coming?

sasuke: i'll catch up

she nodded and took her leave. naruto looked over to sasuke and knew exactly what he'd say

sasuke: stay dobe

naruto got happy that he was going to skip class with his best friend and so he happily sat back down. kakashi turned around and looked at the two, smirking boys

kakashi: -sigh- i was going to read my book bu--

naruto: i can't believe you actually read jiraya-sensei's icha icha books.... it's kinda weird

kakashi: it's kind of weird that you can't get yourself a girlfriend

sasuke laughed out loud due to kakashi's comeback. this is why he loved his teacher, he was the coolest

naruto: well thanks sensei, you're 25 and still single... what a shame

kakashi: in my 25 years of living i haven't gotten my pants pulled down by---

naruto: sensei!

naruto awkwardly laughed knowing exactly what his sensei was talking about.

naruto: -mumbling- i was a young kid and the park was a wild place y'know

kakashi smiled

kakashi: i know

he sat down and took his icha icha book out. 

kakashi: so what is it

naruto: i don't know, sasuke wanted to stay

sasuke: to put it bluntly, kakashi-sensei.... how do you figure your feelings out?

kakashi looked up from his book and smiled.

kakashi: well in all honesty, it depends on what is it.

sasuke: on a person

naruto: can't you just think and the first feeling that pops up is how you feel about them ?

kakashi: so sasuke's feelings towards you would be annoyed, right sasuke?

sasuke chuckled

sasuke: right

naruto: you guys always gang up on me

kakashi laughed

kakashi: you're like my son don't worry

naruto's eyes sparkled to what his sensei just said. he happily laid his hands on his lap and grinned to himself

kakashi: okay but sasuke, to find out how you feel about a person, you need to spend time and soon enough, the main feeling that you feel when you're with them will show you what your thoughts of them are. 

sasuke: but what if i already spend time with them but i still don't know

kakashi: then you're probably not used to embracing your feelings. you're confused because this all to new to you. and that's normal sasuke

sasuke: hmph, i see

naruto: if this is about sakura, then you should just spend time with her y'know

sasuke: it's about everyone!

he awkwardly smiled and looked at his sensei and best friend. he scratched the back of his head

sasuke: i want to figure out how i feel about everyone around me, that's all

naruto: it's up to you y'know

sasuke: you say "y'know" a lot

naruto smiled brightly

naruto: i got it from my mom

kakashi: speaking of your mom, i need to call her and tell her you're failing

naruto: ah!

kakashi: i'm kidding

they all talked and eventually just skipped that whole class. the thing is, kakashi didn't mind at all that they were skipping. they were both getting good grades. though naruto would come over every once a week to get tutoring from himself and sakura.... but it always ends with sakura beating naruto up

AFTER SCHOOL

they all got ready to head home and naruto, shikamaru, ino and hinata were all coming to sakuras house to work on their project that they were all in together. sasuke was also in their group but he was going to her house anyways.

they all happily walked home together

ino: oh please shikamaru, you're the most unmotivated out of all of us

he yawned and walked in a very lazy way

shikamaru: at least i'm smarter than you

they all smiled and they finally got to the pinkettes house. they went inside and they saw their sensei laying down on the couch, still reading the icha icha novel.

naruto sighed

naruto: you've got to be kidding me sensei

kakashi sat up and smiled at his students

sakura: let's work in the dinning room

they all nodded and sakura led the way

shikamaru: okay let's start.

they started working on their project but before they knew it, the sun had already disappeared. 

hinata: thank y-you sakura-chan for letting us come over

she smiled and they finally took their leave. 

sasuke yawned

sasuke: i think i'm gonna sleep

she nodded her head and went to kakashi. she spent some time with him and sasuke had gone to bed

after awhile, she headed up to her room to sleep and there she saw sasuke calmly sleeping. she walked over to him and kneeled down. she smiled at the sleepy sasuke and then got onto her bed. she slept relatively quickly though she fell asleep with many thoughts in her head
