Shika's pov

Tema~ Can I ask you something?

Me~ Uh....sure...

***

We sat at a bench and she began to talk.

Tema~ First of all, why were you acting the way you were acting before school started?

Me~ Um well....I was just worried about you. Because of what that guy put you through. And I want to protect you so that you will never get hurt.

Tema~ O-oh.....um thanks.

Me~ So. What is it that you really wanted to ask me.

Tema~ Um...how do you put this. What do you think of me? You probably think I'm messed up.

She looked down at her feet while swinging them. I could tell she was heartbroken. But why?

Me~ Did the Vance guy tell you to do this? Why are you listening to him? I saw you get comfortable with him in class.

Tema~ He promised me he would let me go. But he thinks he saw something that he knew would be impossible. I mean, don't you think what he saw is stupid and unbelievable? Why does he think we would ever end up with together? Why does he think we like each other?

Me~ Wow. That really is stupid. But to answer your question, I think your an amazing person. Your a really great friend to have. I'm not surprised he was obsessed with you. I mean I know it's a bad thing but your worth obsessing over.

Tema~ Really? Would you obsess over me too?

Me~ I-I mean maybe if I liked you. But realistically speaking, if I liked you I wouldn't obsess over you.

Tema~ That's good to hear. I despise people who are obsessed more than anything.

Me~ That's good.

I'm lucky I'm not obsessed with her.

We hugged and went back into the school building.

Ino~ Where we're you guys? We were going to hang out again.

Tema~ Oh. I'm free. You?

She looked at me as if telling me to say that I won't be able to make it. But did she forget that I live in the dorm?

Hinata~ Ino forgot to mention that we're not hanging out in the dorm this time. We're going to my house.

Yes. Wait. NO! Wait. Yes! Now I can say that I'll be there. I guess she was too embarrassed for me to say that I'm going when we had that talk just now. To be honest, I am too but I can't keep hiding away.

Me~ It's a drag but I'm free.

The girls squeal and the guys looked pleased. Wait a second. Something tells me that I just walked into their trap.

* He could tell the guys looked pleased because: Sasuke smiled and he never smiles( more like he smirked), Naruto has a much bigger smile than he already had, and Neji had a smile while nodding. Could they ever be less obvious? -_- *

I looked at Tema and she looked at me.

Me/Tema~ We're in trouble.

Tenten~ For what? We're just happy we can all hang out again. Besides, who wouldn't be happy when we haven't really seen each other for days? That reminds me. I haven't seen you for days Tema when I should. Why?
