Waiting for a Yes [Modern!Neji x Reader]

PART 2

The highlight of Neji's day was seeing [Name] in his Math class. She sat at the back of the class as usual, and she already had a notebook out with pencils. She was always prepared wherever she went.

Oh, how he wanted to sit next to her, and strike up a conversation, but he settled with sitting in front of her instead. Hey, at least he was close to the girl he liked.

"Good morning Neji," she greets him politely. Neji's body stiffens, he wasn't expecting her to talk to him. He turns and looks at her - he thought she was so pretty.

He pushed down the lump in his throat and said, "H-Hey [Name]. Long time no see. How've you been?"

"I've been doing well. And you?" she responds.

He wanted to confess. He wanted to say, "I've been thinking about you ever since freshmen year when you came into my life. I remember you being the new kid; you used to wear really big dorky glasses back then and your uniform used to be always too big on you. Now look at you. Your curves fit in that uniform so nicely, and you wear contacts now. God, you just don't understand how much I like you. Why can't you see it? I've been waiting for you, waiting for you to return my affections, or at least acknowledge them. Please [Name] please, notice me. To answer your question, I'm standing on the thin line of heartbreak and contentment, torment and happiness, hope and hopelessness; I'm between heaven and hell, stuck in purgatory and you're the only one that can bring me everlasting joy or endless suffering."

Neji sighs, thinking maybe that speech would pressure her into liking him, or cause her to run away forever. So he says, "I'm fine."

[Name] looks at the boy in front of her suspiciously. She knows that sigh means otherwise, but decided not to press Neji for answers. He turns around in his seat, facing forward again just as the bell rings.

Once again, students file in and last is the teacher.

"Good morning class," she says. "I'm Anko Mitarashi. I'll be your math teacher for this year. I'm also head of the detention center, so don't cross me, got it?"

She grins from ear to ear, and [Name] couldn't help but notice her weird style of clothing. She wore a spiked chocker, a black half shirt with a full neon pink fishnet shirt underneath, and lime green shorts? Clearly she was the type of teacher that preferred fun over anything else.

"This will be great," [Name] says sarcastically under her breath.

...

Astronomy was [Name's] favorite class. Some would even say that her eyes would shine like stars if anyone mentioned space. To her, anything outside of Earth's mesosphere intrigued her.

In this class, [Name] sat right in the front. She didn't want to miss anything in this class. She placed a notebook and pencils on her desk like she did any other class, but the notebook cover was space related. It had the constellations and little galaxies all over it.

"Whoa!" Sasuke gasps, acting surprised. His herd of fangirls trailing behind him. "Has hell frozen over? I thought I never see the day when [Name] [Last Name] would ever sit in the front row!"

"Ha ha. Ha ha ha ha, ha ha," she mocked laughter in that robotic voice of hers. "Very funny Sasuke. You should be a stand up comedian rather than a business man."

"Do you really think so?" he flashed one of his heart throbbing smiles towards [Name]. She stared blankly at him, his smile not even making her heart skip a beat. However, his fangirls squealed and took pictures with their phones.

Her eyebrows knitted together as she pondered something over. "Sasuke," she addresses her best friend. "You only act this way towards me, why is that?"

"What do you mean?" Once again, he sits in the seat next to her, only focusing his attention on [Name].

"You act flirtatious, and you're so at ease with me around, but you're never this way to anyone else."

Sasuke blinked, and reflected back on all the times he's ever been around [Name]. He thought this over for a moment and then says, "I guess I am more laid back when you're around. Maybe it's because I trust you and respect you enough to show my real self to you. Don't get me wrong, cold heartless Sasuke is also me too, but I guess I wanted to show someone that I'm not always like that."

"Hmm, how profound," was her only comment before the bell rang for the third class to start. His fangirls complain, all of them leaving the classroom. It amazed [Name] how Sasuke could deal with such a large amount of people chasing after him, and trying to gain his attention. He must be the Apathy God.

"How do you do it?" she asked, and the only response she received was a devious smirk.

...

A/N: aw man, I want a relationship like Sasuke and Reader ;-; but I will be forever alone like Neji. LOL, i'm fine with that though.
