Falling Into Your Ocean Eyes

Darling so it goes, some things are meant to be.

Notes:

AAAAAAAAAA chapter two!! I actually already had this chapter written when i posted the first one //sweats
i better get started on the third, yeet

Less than a second after entering the girls bathroom, I was mobbed by my classmates.

Ino shrieked, "WHAAAAAT?! YOU WERE PAIRED WITH SASUKE?! YOU'RE SO LUCKY!!!"

"Haha...I guess so..." I stammered out, "He's good at his work so at least we'll get a good grade-"

"That's not what we mean! You were paired with Sasuke-Kun!! Oh, he's so handsome! So dreamy...I wish I was in your shoes right now!" Sakura yelled excitedly, pulling me into a hug. I slipped out of her grasp and adjusted my hair, laughing nervously.

"I better...go.." I said, as I tried to slip away, hoping that none of them realised that I had his number.

By rights, I should have been ecstatic to work with Sasuke. All the other girls loved him. But not me. I loved Naruto. Only Naruto. And I wanted to work with him so badly. Instead, I was paired with Sasuke, who, as smart as he is...he's not the one I want. He's not the reason I get out of bed and go to school in the morning like Naruto is. He's just an acquaintance.

The rest of the school day passed as normal, just with the occasional person telling me how lucky I was to work with Sasuke. When the bell finally rang to signal the end of the day, I packed my stuff up, pulled my earphones out of my bag, and plugged them into my phone. I absentmindedly pushed "shuffle songs" as I swung my bag onto my bag, sighed, and set off walking home.

"Am I more than you bargained for yet?" I walked briskly, as Patrick Stump's voice blared through my headphones, ignoring the world around me. Cherry Blossom petals fell from the trees, swirling through the air. It was truly a beautiful sight. I stopped to take a photo of the trees and the swirling cacophony of pink and white petals. I was just about to put my phone back into my pocket, when it buzzed.

"Who is this?" I muttered to myself, confused. I rarely got texts, I only really used my phone to listen to music and the internet. I clicked to open the text.

"Hey Hinata! It's Sasuke. Want to meet up to work on our project tonight? We can go to the Library if that would be easiest :)"

I looked around me and blushed. It was only going to the library with a classmate to work on a project, why did I feel so excited? I stood and just stared at the text for a while, too nervous to reply, thinking over and over, what should I put?

Finally, I decided and started to type.

"Hi Sasuke. That would be great! We can discuss our plans for the project together properly that way. What time were you thinking? I'm free all night." I paused, then added a smiley face at the end of the text before hitting send. He sent one to me, so it would be rude not to send one back, right? I smiled to myself. It was nice, receiving texts from someone other than Kiba asking "Wanna go food?" every so often. Somehow, it made me feel a little less lonely. And Sasuke was a lot more...approachable over text. Perhaps because he wasn't surrounded by fangirls. Or maybe he was like me, and found it difficult to express his true thoughts and feelings in person, which is why he comes off as being rather cold. I was so lost in my thoughts when my phone buzzed again, making me jump.

"Yeah that's what I was thinking. Is around 6 okay? :)"

I smiled and began to type, "That's fine. We'll meet at the entrance? :)" and sent the message.
