"Let's make a bet." These words had a deeper meaning than she would care to admit. Her entire life depended on it. She wanted to win, no matter what results would bring their little mind game.

Two weeks passed away as well seasons changed. It was now winter, which left Shikadai usually in the grumpy mood. He always disliked snow, since unlike Boruto he found walking on it really annoying. If Shikadai would be an animal, he would for sure prefer to go into sleep hibernation and not doing anything during the winter at all.
However, his conversation with Sumire made him think about talking with Boruto. Boruto that was currently defending himself from a crowd of fangirls. His main reason for forgetting Boruto popularity was caused by seeing him often either at the club or Sarada's house, of course not counting classes.
It was a pain in the ass, but visiting Sarada's house with the entire club helped them a lot with preparations for the upcoming Sports Festival. If everything goes smoothly they should end preparing everything during this week and allow themselves to laze around afterwards.
In a short summary of events, winter, his past love and talking to Boruto was the last thing he wanted to do. Turning into the animal in order to hibernate on the other hand was taking the first place in the things he wanted to do right now.
When walking through school corridors the crowds of students chattering, running to their lockers and being excited about upcoming winter break would nearly squish him like a bug on the way. Great. Shikadai personally thought he somehow managed to survive walking through to his locker due to him being lazy and too much sleepy to care about squeaking Boruto fangirls.
Shikadai thanks to recent events almost forgot that his childhood friend is Mr Popular guy in their school. Young Nara always was thinking that popularity is too much trouble to deal with and it's better to have a nap than being worshipped.
It wasn't a subject that Shikadai wanted to initiate considering his role in the whole story, but Sumire being mad at him again would be too much troublesome to deal with.
"Hey, Boruto." Shikadai couldn't help feeling sleepy and yawned. The few female students around Boruto sent to him a nasty stare. It seemed that Boruto didn't care about surrounding them girls and instead waved to him with a big plastered smile on his face.
"Yo, Shikadai! Thanks for the rescue!" Boruto said feeling relieved. Yeah, he was attention seeker, but being the source of attention this morning was really overwhelming for him.
"No problem. Can we talk about something?" Shikadai emerald eyes expressed his annoyance with Boruto fangirls, which were spying on them behind the lockers.
"Sure, what's up?" Boruto response was causal as ever, but Shikadai knew his happy-go-lucky expression will soon change.
"It's about Asami. Sumire wants to know what happened between her and us that day. Can I tell her the truth?" Boruto expression just like he excepted changed. His bright smile disappeared and it was enough to scare some of the fangirls still hiding behind the lockers.
