TGJ 2: My Grumpy Jerk

Chapter 39

"Use every chance you got to destroy them..."

"We'll destroy them!"

Sarada's POV

"You're going out on a date today, right? He asked you right?" Chocho's teasing eyes and voice give me chills.

"No, we're not going anywhere today," a weak response comes out of my mouth.

"Huh? But your last date was like a week ago, don't you think you should go out today?" she is persistent and sounds like putting herself in my shoes.

"I should not be the first to ask him out besides..." I pause and think.

"What?" her confused question.

"He told me he's busy for this whole week. They have a lot of projects and lab activities to do," I explain and she pouts like a sulking kid.

"Get that goddamn phone and call him! No one's busy when it comes to their loved ones," she's annoyed I can tell but it makes me feel pitiful waiting for a guy to make time for me. Should I keep myself busy as well? I shake my head and she notices it.

"Are you okay?" she asks full of concern. "I was thinking what if I keep myself busy too so I won't feel miserable waiting for him to talk to me," does that sound pathetic? I think I'm going to cry.

"If you don't make the first move and wait for him to make time for you, you should keep yourself working in the Student Council Office and become the best President we ever have," she speaks up with sarcasm.

"I don't want to look desperate for his attention, Chocho," my voice cracks and I hate it.

"No, that's not being desperate, Sarada that's being a girlfriend. You deserve attention too not only that stupid syringe and lab tools," she's boiling like hot water.

A deep heavy sigh lets go of my mouth. "If you don't call him now at least, make time to see him personally, perhaps it will surprise him and appreciate it," she giggles and nudges me.

"What?!!" I make a shocked cry. "What, what?" she shrugs. "No, I won't do that. He'll be upset seeing me there," I refuse her idea. "I don't understand you! Go see him and tell him he needs a break from school," she winks at me and I feel horrified.

The thought of going to see him and talking to him is not what a girl should do. What if he's busy and I'll just get in his way? Agh! I hate this so much!

But... I kind of miss him too. We sometimes eat at the cafeteria together, walk past each other without saying anything, and text when we have time. Are couples should be together most of the time?

But in our case, we can't! I'm busy and he's busy with studies and other activities too. Will this work somehow?

I think I have tortured my head with all the questions and forgotten the real situation I'm facing right now.

"Sarada, you're still with me?" I hear Chocho call out to me but I'm too busy to respond to her.

But what if other girls surround him and tempt him to break up with me because I don't do anything to make our relationship work? I'm boring and no fun at all. No, we just got started and we haven't seen enough of each other yet.

But it's possible to happen, right? There's a big chance it's going to happen.

No! No! No!

"Sarada, are you okay?!"

And I realized I was being paranoid. I was shaking my head uttering a loud 'no' at her and it alarmed her for sure.
