"Good Night."
He kissed me!
Her face was blushed red as she had pretended to have fallen asleep.
He set her down back to her spot as she stayed blushing the whole time.
The rest of the night, he had fallen asleep but she was kept awake.
What is this feeling? My heart won't stop racing and my mind won't stop thinking.
She thought to herself as the day changed from night to day.
It was a big mistake of hers to have not gotten an inch of sleep as she was now regretting it as her body felt weak & tired.
Sasuke's eyes slowly opened as he realized he was still in her room.
He lifted himself up from the bed, careful not to wake her up as he walked out of the room.
"Karin." He said as he saw her packing her things.
"You win." She said.
"What?"
"I can't force you to love me."
He stood silent.
"And I also have to be honest with you." She said.
"About what?"
"We never slept together. That night at the party, you didn't sleep with me. I only slid into bed to make it look like you did." She sighed as she pat his back.
I have no words.
"Thanks, Karin." He says as the door shuts behind me.
Sasuke and Hinata ended up going to school at different times, worried that people would start rumors if they saw them leaving together at the same time from the same place.
She noticed Sasuke a bit happy today but couldn't tell why.
"New Year's Festival!" Some boy cried out at the front of the gates with flyers in his hands.
"Toneri-Senpai?" She said as she noticed who it was the closer she got.
"Hinata-san, you talked!" He hugged her.
It still hurts my voice though. She signed.
Don't force yourself then, okay. He signed back as he handed her a flyer.
What's this for?
My school is holding a New Year's Festival! I would love it if you would come.
Then I will surely make it! She smiled at him as he blushed and looked away.
"Then I'm coming too." She felt a hand on her shoulder as Toneri's expression changed.
She looked up to see Sasuke as her face turns red remembering the kiss.
"Hinata-san, are you okay?" Toneri places his hand on her forehead as she nods and runs away.

Sasuke walks the halls of the school searching for her.
He spots her talking to a group of girls as he pulls her away from them.
"Sasuke-kun?! What are you doing?!" She says as they walk into an empty classroom.
"Karin told me the truth." He said.
"The truth? Karin? Alright, explain." Sakura sounded confused.
"She told me that I didn't cheat on you. That she slid into bed to make it look like I did." He said as Sakura stood silent.
