"So? What do you say?" She crossed her arms, patiently and calmly waiting for a response.

The person standing in front of her grinned widely as if he found something amusing. "Count me in." He extended his hand and she firmly took it. From that day, the deal has been sealed.

Sarada's POV

You only live once? I don't think that's right. The truth is we live everyday and it is up to us how we spend and make the most out of it.

Well in my case, I don't think I'm living my life the way I want it to be. It takes 18 whole years for me to realized that. Sad? Yes, but it's the truth.

All my life I've been living in the shadows. Immersing myself in books. I always thought that having knowledge was enough to satisfy me... but why do I feel that there's still something missing?

Then an idea popped into my head. An idea that may someday show me the answers that I needed. I know its a little bit crazy but I'm gonna do it anyway...

I was passing by the faculty office when I accidentally heard a conversation. I have no intention to pry but having a curious mind lets me.

"Do you understand now?" The voice said. "If you can't pass this semester, then you have to repeat a year."

Then I heard a "tsk" sound from someone. "Seriously? You can't do this to me." He reasoned.

The other person let out a sighed. "Whatever.. I'm just reminding you. Well then, bye."

"Hey!" He called but he was ignored. "Shitty old man." He puts his hands on his pocket and started to walk.

I heard footsteps coming in my way so I hurriedly fixed myself. As the person draw nearer, I tried hard to pretend and act normal as if I didn't heard anything.

It was just less than a minute that we walked pass into each other and I immediately recognize the person. I mean, who wouldn't be in this school?

I looked back and observed him, as if plotting something suspicious, I adjusted my eyeglass. "I think I found the perfect candidate."

Boruto's POV

Life is meaningless when there's no fun. After all, we only live once right?.. So here I am living my life the way I want it.

"I heard you're in trouble again." I looked back and saw Mitsuki walking towards me. He's my childhood friend, basically we grew up together and since then we're inseparable. The only difference between us is he's more calm and mature than me.

"I'm always in trouble." I stated.

He's now beside me. Neither of us talk for a few minutes. A peaceful silence surrounds us. We stood still, silently watching the soccer club's practice match, from the school's rooftop.

"We're seniors now Boruto. Soon we will have to choose our own career paths and prepare for our respective entrance exam." He explained.

"I will take a different path Boruto. When that time comes, I will not be there to get you out in trouble." Mitsuki continued. "Please take it seriously this time." He tapped my shoulder.

I looked at him. "What do you want me to do?"

"I don't know, you have to discover it by yourself." He said. "Well, I have something to do. Ja ne!" He walked out.

"Yeah right. You're always busy Mr. President.." I told him before turning my back to watched the match.

I heard the door on the rooftop open again so I thought that he must have something left to say.

"What do you want this ti~ " I didn't expect someone would dare to climb in the rooftop. Everyone knew that it's my spot, my turf.

"Uzumaki Boruto" she said boldly. "I want you to date me." I was taken by surprised.

"Excuse me?"

She gave me a smirk. "You heard me. Now, I want to make a deal."

Sarada's POV

Oh my goodness! This is so embarrassing but its too late to back out now.

"You heard me. Now, I want to make a deal."

Somehow his expression changed. "I see.. So you want something from me, Uchiha Sarada."

You planned this yourself. Don't falter now. "Yeah, something you can do."

"What made you think that I will accept it?"

"I just know."

He gave me a smirk. "Hm. Then tell me."

"I want you to date me until the day of the graduation ceremony."

"Then in exchange? You didn't come here unprepared, didn't you?"

"Of course.. In exchange, I will help you passed all of your subjects."

His eyes widened for a moment but soon disappeared. "As expected of you, Ms. Know-it-all. So you were listening at that time."

"Not really." I replied.

"Well, you're not my type and I'm positively sure that I won't fall in love with you either." He said while observing me from head to toe. The nerve of that man!!

A vein popped in my head. "Great! Then this will work, after all, I'm just doing this for research purposes." I said trying to calm myself.

"Let me think.. this will take some time.."

"Go on.. I'm not in a hurry at all."

Thirty seconds..

One minute...

One and a half...

Two minutes...

"So? What do you say?" I crossed my arms, patiently and calmly waiting for a response. Patiently and calmly, yeah right, as if I can wait.

Finally, the person standing in front of me grinned widely as if he found something amusing. "Count me in." He extended his hand and I firmly took it. From that day, the deal has been sealed.
