What about us?

Chapter 11: Date invitation

"…Ooh, such a beautiful girl!"

"Pervy Sage, you met her already, remember?"

"Really? I’m sure she looked different…"

"Don’t mind him, let’s go to my room."

"A-all right." When she went to his room, she was surprised again.

"It's tidy here!"

"Yeah, that’s because Pervy Sage made me…!"

"I see." Hinata noticed that his leg still hurt.

"How did it happen to you?"

"It’s a funny story, really…"

"I want to hear it!"

"Oh, well, Choji wanted to make a boy’s party. There was alcohol too. I drank too much and than I jumped from the roof, from the fourth floor."

"Really?!"

"But I’m fine, I have experience with parkour so I’m all right."

"Thank goodness." They talked for a while, it was really nice.

"What about the test, was it hard?"

"I-it was, strangely, Shikamaru finished it long before the others."

"Sakura-chan too?!"

"Y-yeah."

"Wow, I thought she’s the smartest in class-ttebayo…"

"I-I see."

"I'm going to school tomorrow, it's Friday, right?"

"Actually, I have to tell you from Sasuke that you won't miss the test."

"Too bad, I already thought I would avoid it."

"We don't have Kakashi-sensei tomorrow, but you should get ready for Monday. It wasn't exactly an easy test."

"C-cool…"

"Hmm? Is something wrong?"

"If I fail the test, I will be expelled from school…"

"No way!"

"Hinata, I’m so dumb! There’s no way I can pass!" When she saw him so lost, she had to help him.

"I-I’ll tutore you."

"Ha, really?!" She nodded.

"Thanks Hinata! You are really the best!" He hugged her tightly, leaning his head on her chest.

"Haaa?!" Hinata panicked and blushed at the same time.

"You, you are too close…"

"Oh, I’m sorry-ttebayo..." he said nervously and pushed away.

"D-don’t worry about it!"

"It was so nice," thought Naruto and blushed a little.

"Sorry to ask, but why did you come?"

"W-well, I was worried about you…"

"I see, that’s nice of you. You're probably the only one, aren't you?" He was thinking about Sakura. Hinata knew what he meant.

"Actually, Sakura-chan was worried too…" she lied for his happiness.

"Really, really?!"

"Umm…" she smiled.

"I have to definitely talk with her tomorrow!"

"S-sure. I’m sorry, but I have to go."

"Already?"
