Chapter 7
Boruto prodded the food on his plate, not hungry. His "walk", with Konohamaru had left him feeling beat. If his feelings were that obvious, did Sarada know? And if she did, how did she feel.?Did she think he was weird? His mind had been a very oppressive place lately. " Boruto?", his mothers voice dragged him out of his thoughts, " What's wrong? Why aren't you eating?", she asked. " I'm not hungry", he mumbled. She gazed at him, clearly concerned, but didn't question. "May I be excused?", he asked. She searched his gaze for a second. " Yes", she said. He got up from the table and walked up the stairs. Feeling her eyes watching him the whole way.
Boruto sat down at his desk and ran his fingers through his hair roughly. He was so confused. His mind, a war zone. His thoughts in complete disarray. He felt like crying. In fact all he wanted to do was cry. He felt tears run down his face. The reason he was crying was a mystery even to him. Why cant I get my stupid feelings straight!, he yelled inwardly. Tears continued to fall out of his eyes. Dammit!, he slammed his fists onto his table. As if on cue, he heard his door open and a small, soft voice ask, " Big brother? Are you okay?". Of course he wasn't, his feelings for Sarada were tearing him up inside. " Fine", he lied. " But Boruto you're cr-". " I'm fine okay Himawari!", he yelled rounding on her. Crap, he thought, I'm screwed. " O-okay", he heard Himawari whimper. " Himawari, wait", but she was already gone. Boruto crawled into bed and pulled the covers over his head. He waited for sleep to claim him. Sleeping was the only thing he really knew how to do right now.
Boruto woke up at 4:00 AM and slipped out of the house before his mom could murder him for yelling at Himawari. But he left a note so she wouldn't worry. He made his way back to the training grounds. He'd brought a ton of shuriken and was planning to actually hit the target this time. Maybe he'd actually be able to focus without Sarada there. " What're you doing her?", he heard a voice he knew all too well. Just when I thought, that I could catch a FREAKING BREAK, he thought. He turned around, but kept his eyes on the ground. " H-hey Sarada", he said. She stared at him for a bit. " You look terrible", she finally said. " Hey! That's-", but his voice faltered as soon as he met her eyes. He looked away, his cheeks burning. " What's wrong with you Boruto?", she asked. " Nothing", he said as he threw a shuriken. " You're lying ", she said. She could see right through him. " It's nothing", he said again. " Seriously Boruto", she put her hand on his shoulder, " I SAID IT'S NOTHING, SARADA! ", he slapped her hand away. " FINE! ALL EVER WANTED TO FREAKING DO WAS HELP YOU!", she screamed. She stormed away and Boruto gazed after her.
" What did I jus-", he said. " Why did I-". He started to run into the forest. He ran as fast and as far as he could, the sun had started to appear over the horizon and was now leaking through the trees. When Boruto finally ran out of breath, he leaned on a tree. He slid down onto the ground and buried his face into his arms. Why am I being so dramatic, he thought, It's just a stupid crush, not like the world is ending or anything.
It was nearly time to meet up with Konohamaru, Mitsuki and.... her, for today's mission. He made his way out of the forest. His shoes were covered in dirt and so were his pants. He went to their usual meeting place to find Sarada and Mitsuki already there. Sarada stared angrily at Boruto and he looked away. He was mad at her, but felt this way about her at the same time. Mitsuki noticed their look and smiled. " Are you two fighting? Aw, a lovers quarrel,". Boruto practically exploded. " NO IT'S NOT!", Boruto and Sarada said in unison and glowered at each other with red faces. Boruto looked at Mitsuki and saw that he'd taken a picture of them. " They're even blushing", he said. Boruto blew a fuse. " MITSUKI, DELETE THAT PICTURE GOD DAMMIT!", He looked over at Sarada. They met each others gaze and turned away. He hated her for making him feel this way.
