Falling Into Your Ocean Eyes

And There's Nothing Wrong With Me, This Is How I'm Supposed To Be

I got back from school, and headed upstairs to my room. Thank the gods Father was still at work; I was in an amazing mood and no doubt he'd try to ruin it. I pulled my phone out and stared at it for a moment- was it too soon to text Sasuke? I didn't want to seem too clingy or needy. But then again, he did ask me to text him...

I sighed, and started to type a message. I could always send it later on, right?

"Hi! I had a great time today. Thanks for inviting me to the library," I paused before adding "And reassuring me. It made me feel a lot better. Thankyou :)" I locked my phone and sat down, pulling out the book Sasuke had lent me. Opening it, I thumbed through the pages, reading the names of the various chapters and subheadings. I flicked back to the first page and began to read, immersing myself in the book and ignoring my surroundings.

"The Anbu case of '68 is a mystery that even the best intelligence agencies in the world have not yet been able to solve. Many investigators commented that it seemed like the missing Black Ops group had simply disappeared into thin air, leaving no traces of themselves behind..."

I carried on reading; he was right, this case was truly amazing. I sat for what seemed like only a few minutes before it started getting dark; checking my phone, I realised that i'd been reading for almost four hours.

"Shit!" I thought, "I didn't text Sasuke!"

I quickly unlocked my phone, and added on to the end of the message i'd composed earlier "I'd have text you sooner, but I was so wrapped up in the book you lent me! It's great!" then hit send.

I started reading again, and a few moments later my phone went off; it was Sasuke!

"Hi! I really enjoyed today too. Hope we can do it again tomorrow. Don't worry about it, i'm here for you. You can talk to me you know. Also I thought you would be! It's such a cool case, isn't it?!"

I smiled and started to text back.

That night, we agreed to meet at lunch everyday to go to the library, and occasionally after school to do our work together. We'd chat, trade books, and talk about movies that we enjoyed; it seemed that Sasuke and I had a lot more in common than I originally anticipated. As the weeks passed by, I slowly forgot about Naruto; I stopped looking for him in class in the morning, I stopped wishing to be placed in the same groups as him, and eventually, he wasn't constantly on my mind; I only really thought about him when other people mentioned his name around me. Sasuke and I started texting and sometimes even calling each other late into the night. I genuinely enjoyed his company; I would always look forward to the next time i'd see him again, anticipating our next conversation. Eventually, being with Sasuke was as normal as breathing and I cherished every moment we were together. As the days grew longer signalling the approach of Summer and the end of our group project, we began hanging out together for reasons other than our schoolwork. We ended up spending time together almost everyday.

"...And those are the main effects of depression and anxiety in young adults. Any questions?" I asked. It was the day of the presentation that we'd worked so hard to perfect, and so far we were doing amazing.

"Uhh yeah..." Shikamaru asked, "You mentioned something about neurotransmitters earlier...I think I fell asleep because I forgot to take any notes...could you repeat that part?"

"Shikamaru, that is your own fault for falling asleep," Kakashi interrupted him, "If you want the notes then i'm sure Hinata and Sasuke will be kind enough to give you the notes later on instead of having to hold up the entire class by explaining it all again just for you."
