"Do you understand?"
I turned to him, trying to decipher any thoughts behind his blue eyes.
He gave a blank stare, scratching the back of his head while actively avoiding eye contact.
Before Naruto could answer, footsteps. We both turn our heads to Sasuke who appeared behind us, his dark gaze assessed us like usual as he sat down against the bookshelf, not uttering a word.
He looked to us with silence, then seemed to realize we had questions.
"Itachi left." He stated flatly, crossing his arms.
His words were followed by an awkward silence. After a few seconds he closed the gap of quietness.
"Can I.. join you guys?" He asked with uncertainty while hiding his face.
I snapped out of my trance, reminding myself to answer: "Oh, yeah of course. I'm trying to help Naruto understand Trigonometry."
He nodded his head in response, for a split second I could see him eying our 2 coffees beside each other, then he swiftly turned away his gaze as he noticed me looking.
I could use a snack right now, i thought to myself I rose from my spot.
"I'll be right back, meanwhile maybe you two might be able to help each other." I said with a smile before I turned around the corner.
I walked away rather quickly, I still felt there was some unspoken tension from the other day at the skate park. What if he's mad at my joke from the other day, or from me falling on him?
The thought left my mind, I was probably going crazy from my recent caffeine intake. Speaking of caffeine, the shop here is cheap maybe I should get Sasuke something; after all, I saw him looking at both me and Naruto's coffees.
I look up at the menu options: mocha latte, Frappuccino, chai, coffee, vanilla bean coffee, etc.
I don't know what his tastes are at all though, what would he like? My gaze starts to wander as I see their juice selection.

Naruto:
Just like that, Sakura left me alone with Sasuke. I turn my focus back to my math problem and bite my fingernails out of boredom, how the hell am I supposed to do this?
Sasuke seemed to take into account what Sakura said earlier:
"What do you need help with?" Sasuke asked sounding annoyed.
