Stitching the Gaps

Obsessing Over the Past

Chapter 49: Obsessing Over the Past

The new semester rolled up with interesting surprises. Pretty much everyone is a senior and the young Sasuke Uchiha's fan club wasn't ready for this shift of changes. The glow up tortured them.

Even for the guys in all grades.

The teens couldn't help gawking in disbelief. The guys' eyes were glued on the pretty beauty with flowy indigo hair and striking curvaceous figure in uniform. Even though she wore an oversize cardigan, it did not hide her fitted blouse and the skirt length reached her knee caps. Most of the guys didn't recognize her at all because they didn't know she existed until now.

Except for close peers. Even they were flabbergasted.

Some would say the fangirls took a hard toll from watching the gorgeous mystery girl holding hands with their dark handsome prince. They were conflicted between being impressed by the couple's beauty and envious of the girl's spot beside the Uchiha.

Sure, it devastated the girls who gave their hearts to the heartthrob in school. But this display gave them no hope or opportunity to be his only girl.

Things definitely happened during the summer. And Haruhi wanted answers. Throughout the day of navigating the new schedule, homeroom teachers for the year, and graduation prep meetings, Haruhi locked her focus on Sasuke and his mystery girl.

She wondered in the hallway. She saw two familiar students holding a broom and bucket. Haruhi assumed they finished clean-up duty at this hour.

"Hey, Ino!" Haruhi pounced in front of the blondes. Ino stopped her conversation with Naruto and looked at Haruhi with a small smile.

"Hey. What's going on with you?" Ino asked. She forgot Haruhi existed. When summer hit, she worked at her family's flower shop every weekday. She barely hung out with her friends, besides Naruto. He found ways to take her out on dates and such. However, irrelevant classmates left her peace of mind.

Naruto dropped his smile to a bored expression. He just saw another curious girl who's desperate to know his best friend's relationship status. He kept his mouth shut surprisingly. Only for the sake of the Uchiha's and his quiet girlfriend's privacy. People pestered him far enough about the whole thing, people are now scared to face him when his usual bright face drops.

Haruhi didn't pay attention to Naruto's annoyed demeanor. She was amazed at how perfect they looked.

Yeah. Summer senior glow-up is no joke. Ino wore her hair down and her body flourish in the right places. Tone legs, wide hips, nice size bosom. Even Naruto wasn't bad for his appearance. He grew a few inches taller. His hair was cut in a tapered look but left his spikey bangs over his forehead. His husky build was lean.

In Haruhi's head, she cried about how cute they complete each other. She wished she had that with a certain someone. But some bitch took him right under her nose. A sneaky fox.

"Nothing much. I'm extremely excited about graduation!" The raspberry girl said in a cheery voice.

"Same here. Finally, get to leave this crummy place." Ino wrapped one arm below her chest. Her boyfriend nudged her with the broomstick.

"Babe. We had some good times here." He winked. Ino brushed him off with a scoff and eye roll.

"You can't disagree." He pulled her in with one arm. Her cheek pressing against his undershirt that peeks out of his open button shirt. Ino sighed with a small smile.
