Unfortunately Yours (SasuNaru) ✔

Chapter 11: Liar

Naruko P.O.V

I ran out of the apartment after Sasuke's sudden embrace. I slammed the door shut and quickly slouched down before my door.

Why the hell did I say that?! And why the hell did he do that?! Most importantly, why did I even try to hug him back?! Am I stupid?! What the hell is wrong with me?!

I held onto my beating heart as I waited for my mind and body to calm down. I sighed in relief as I felt my heart slowing down.

Good...I'm starting to feel normal...

As soon as I had calmed down, I stood up and began to walk away to meet with Sakura at Ichiraku's.

***

"Hey Naruko, I saved you a spot!" I heard Sakura yell from inside the small shop.

I walked into Ichiraku's and sat down beside her. "Hey Sakura-chan, how's it going?" I asked with a weak smile.

"I'm doing pretty good, not that I can say the same for you. Why do you look so bummed out?"

"Me?! Nahhh never!"

Sakura looked at me with a face that showed she knew I was lying. "So...what did Sasuke do this time?"

I felt my heart stop at the mention of his name. I can't tell Sakura anything of what's happen...who knows how she'll take it...

I quickly scratched my head and began to think of a lie to tell.

"Sasuke? Who said this was gonna be about Sasuke?! What this is really about is...is umm..."

I began to look around, looking for something that could maybe help me make up a story. As I looked, I noticed the sand drifting all over the floor. I then quickly lifted my head and noticed the red color of the table.

Sand...the color red...that's it!

I cleared my throat and began to speak again. "What I was trying to say was that I need some help with my...feelings..."

Suddenly it went quiet, and in seconds, both Sakura and the old man started yelling in shock.

"Don't tell me you've fallen for Sasuke!" shouted Sakura in shock.

"My little Naruko is becoming a woman!" yelled the old man with a tear in his eye.

"No no no! You got it all wrong! And why're you eavesdropping on our conversation, old man?!"

"How am I not supposed to listen? I have ears!" He retorted as he emptied some noodles into a bowl.

I groaned loudly and slammed my forehead against the table. "Sakura-chan, I just need you to hear me out, okay?"

She stayed quiet for a while before she agreed to listen to me.

I lifted my head up and waited for the old man to give me my Ramen before I started.

"Two bowls of ramen! Now Naruko, please spill the tea," he said as he placed the bowls down and turned around to turn off his stove.

I sighed in embarrassment as I began to talk. "Okay so...I've been feeling this weird thing whenever I'm around this guy--"

"Who?!" They yelled in unison.

"Wait, I'm getting there!" I yelled back with a pink face. "Anyway! Every time this guy is suddenly nice to me or he shows me a side I've never seen before, It makes my heart do some pre-heart attack symptoms! Like why? Why does my heart suddenly do these crazy flips and turns whenever I'm around this guy?! I mean, he doesn't like me at all. I don't like him either. Then what's that wack feeling I get?! Is it...Is it heartburn?!"
