Shikamaru's POV

It's Homecoming week.

It's not really of a big deal for me to be perfectly honest, but since I'm in the basketball team, the week's rather busy with games and practices. Other than that, everything is just normal as how I treat every other weekday in school.

Everyone seems rather excited this week. With booths here and there, people gossiping about the latest hot issues and rumors in the University, (I know it's not related about Homecoming but it's just all around the school) and the number of couples seem to go up. 

Well, I'm not sure if they're real couples but a lot more pairs of boys and girls seem to roam around in school.

"...Kamaru..."

Is there something big I'm totally missing out right now?

 "Shikamaru!" a sudden loud shout of an obnoxious blonde beside me exclaimed. "You alright dude? You're spacing out," Naruto asked with a rather concerned look.

I sighed and scratch my head, shaking away the thoughts that are occupying my mind. "I'm alright, just a little sleep deprived," I answered and yawned as proof.

"Of course you are! You can even sleep the whole day straight," Naruto said.

I scoffed and went to the changing room. We finished a game, just a practice one, with my teammates who didn't get to play and show off at the games and only got to be a bench warmer  the whole time. My whole body is tired. From all of those practice and games we did, I'd be lying if I said I could go with another one or two.

We played at Monday and today, Wednesday. The other days were occupied with other sport plays such as the football team and baseball, volleyball, and the list goes on.

Even though I'm not a regular, I was still a substitute from time to time if my senpais and the regulars would be benched. Sports are not really my thing to be honest, but my intelligence and tactical knowledge is needed in the team. Plus, I wanted something to spend some of my time on something productive and healthy, not just dozing off and slacking in my apartment, although it's my hobby no doubt.

"Hey, do you think there's soー"

"Sasuke, do you have a date for the dance?" Before I could finish what I'm about to ask, the blonde idiot decided to cut me.

"Wait, what's the daー"

"Of course I do. Sakura's my date," I wasn't allowed to finish my questions again when Sasuke was the one to interrupt. The dance? What's that?

I seem to be the only one who doesn't know anything about the conversation that was forming between Naruto and Sasuke, about this... Dance....

"Hmm... I hope nobody dared to ask Hinata out...." Naruto's jaw visibly clenched, his hands curling to a fist and eyes with a piercing look. "Or I'll definitely beat that guy into a pulp!" the blonde exclaimed, making the other people around the halls look at him weirdly, as if he's a psychopath.
