Secretly in Love [SasuHina Fanfic]

Chapter 10

Sasuke's POV

Is it just me or Hinata is avoiding me? I don't really know the reason but I have a feeling that it's because of that fake Hinata. I waited for her after school at the school gate. Everyone is looking at me and wondering who am I waiting for, but I just ignore them like I always do. I saw Hinata walking now towards the gate. She noticed me and she turn her head the other way. She really is avoiding me.

"Hinata." I said as I approach her

"S-Sasuke-kun.." she said

"Can I walk you home. If you don't mind." I said scratching the back of my head and she just nodded

We walk in the usual way that I take to her house. It's not far from ours that is why. She hasn't said any words since we left from school.

"Uh, Hinata." I said as I stop on walking, she stops also and looks at me

"Why are you avoiding me? I noticed it early that you are avoiding me. You can't even look at me in the eyes. Is it about the fake Hinata? Did she say something to you? Do you believe her?" I asked continuously because I'm really worried

"Uh, I'm sorry Sasuke-kun, I forgot what you said to me. Yes, she did say something to me earlier and I don't believe her like you said. I'm sorry for making you worry. " She said and bow at me

"What did she say to you?" I asked

"She said that she really likes you Sasuke-kun. And she also said to distance myself from you because..." she pause that makes me curious and nervous at the same time

"You like me, that's what she said." My eyes widen in surprise. So that's why she's avoiding me.

"It's-"

"But I know that you don't right Sasuke-kun. I am just you're friend right? And I already like someone else that's why you don't have to worry about what she said and I know that you also have the girl you like Sasuke-kun." She said and smile at me brightly. She just thinks that she is just my friend? A friend huh? I can't say anything about those words, I'm speechless.

"I know that the girl you like is much better than me, because it's not like you can like me right. Hahahaha what am I even saying. No one will ever like me. I didn't even know if the person I like will look at me the way I look at him." But I'm looking at you, can't you see that? Why don't you just believe that I really like you? Those are the questions I want to ask but- "Hinata..." she look at me but I don't have the courage to look at her

"can I know who is the guy you like?"

"Eh? Why all of a sudden?" She was surprised

"I'm just curious who this lucky guy is." I said and smile at her

"Because Hinata, you're beautiful, kind, smart, you're perfect. Don't look down too much of yourself. Don't say that no one will like you because I know there is someone that is looking at you but you just can't see it. And I know that the guy you like can also like you back."

"I'm not that person you said me to, and I know that he won't like me back but I can just look at him from afar like I always do. I will just love him even though it hurts to see him with the girl she likes. I will endure the pain even though I can't take it anymore because I love him. I love Naruto-kun so much that I can't even stop loving him even though he can't even look at me......I know that Naruto-kun is courting Sakura-san and he's madly in love with her. I know that much but I still.....I still..." That strikes me so hard to hear that the person I like, likes my best friend. And the worst part is, she seems to madly in love also on him that made her cry this much by just telling me how she really feels. I also want to cry now because that crushed my heart when I assume that I am the guy she likes but it's not. I shouldn't have assumed this much; so that I won't be able to feel this pain I am feeling right now.

I hold her in my arms and let her cry out her pain in me. I know what she feels right now and it hurts me even more to see her like this. I know that this wouldn't help her much but, I am just doing my best as her 'friend'.

"I'm home." I said and went straight up to my room

I lay on my bed and Hinata's crying face shows up on my sight. I didn't notice that my tears are starting to fall from my eyes.

It's hurts so much. It feels like there is something that is crushing my heart. It's so heavy that I can't even lift it. I don't even know how to.

That wasn't me that she keeps on following. That wasn't me that she keeps on looking. That wasn't me that she is stalking. And that wasn't me that she likes.

I assumed so much that I am miserable right now. I don't think I can even face Naruto after I heard Hinata's confession that she likes him. I think it's only natural for me to hate Naruto because of this. I don't want to see his face ever again. I don't know what I am going to do if I see him. I just can't take off my mind Hinata's words earlier. It keeps on ringing on my head.

I wish this is all just a dream that when I woke up tomorrow, everything will be back to the way it was.
