"I just don't understand why out of all people, you would choose miss forehead here." Ino said after she finished her cup of tea.
"Oh grow up, Sasuke has a good taste, that's all." Sakura said, trying to defend herself. I kept quiet as they argued, eating my lunch. The news of us dating spread among our class very fast and it wasn't long before Itachi found out too. He didn't say anything to my face, he just texted me 'We're done.' and that was it. I tried calling him as soon as my class finished, but he wouldn't pick up. I couldn't focus on what the two were saying anymore, I was too deep in my own mind, thinking. I couldn't just go to Itachi and tell him that me and Sakura are not actually a thing, that would definitely be weird. And he would most likely not understand it at all.

"Are you okay?" I felt someone nudge my shoulder and as I looked up, I saw Sakura staring at me. "You've been getting ready to take a bite of your food for a while now."

"Of course he's not okay, if he was, he would be with me." Ino said as she got up, picking up her tray. "Trust me, this won't last long." She added and then left our table.

"Ino seems to be very jealous." I wasn't sure if Sakura said that to me or more to herself, but I didn't care either way.

"I'm not feeling so good," I put my food down. "I think I'm gonna go back to my room. Could you excuse me from our class?"

"Of course, do you want me to walk you back?" Sakura asked, putting her hand on top of mine. I didn't move away, I couldn't if I wanted this relationship to look real. Maybe it wasn't as much of a good idea as I initially thought, but with Kiba being the way he was, I couldn't take any chances.

"No, I'll be okay." I answered after a while and got up from my seat as well. As I was about to pick up my tray, she told me to leave it and just go, so I left the cafeteria. I was about to leave the building, when I saw Itachi going into the toilets. Without thinking first, I followed him there. He was standing in front of the sinks, looking at himself in the mirror. When he noticed that he wasn't alone anymore, he looked up.

"What are you doing here?"

"I have to use the toilet." I lied.

"Oh," he nodded. "I'll leave you to it."

"Actually,-" I closed the door behind me and crossed the floor to where he was standing. "We need to talk."

"There is nothing to talk about."

"Stop being like this. What even is the issue? Isn't this the same situation as you with that guy?"

"No, these two situations are very much different." It seemed as if there was a storm raging in his eyes as they were flickering on my face, but he spoke calmly. Maybe to ensure that no one could hear us, maybe so he wouldn't get overwhelmed with feelings.

"And how are they different?" I asked. "It's not as if we were something official. So why does it matter? Why do we have to be done?"

"Because you are not single, Sasuke." He hesitated before he said my name. It took me aback, because my name always rolled of his tongue as if it was the most natural word he knew. For a brief moment I felt a bit of sadness creeping from somewhere deep down. "I will not do anything to ruin your relationship. Congratulations on it, by the way." He added with a smile.

"You don't understand."

"That seems to be the thing with me, remember? I also didn't understand when Inuzuka showed me the photo you badly wanted to take of the two of us. He told me you just had to show him, but why was that? And then, all of a sudden, you have a girlfriend. I also didn't understand that. You're keeping things from me that are important." He lowered his voice as he was speaking. "But of course, your relationship is none of my business. But what was that with Inuzuka, I wonder."

"Itachi," I sighed. "Let's talk somewhere else."

"No. As long as the photo doesn't get out, we have nothing to talk about."

"Can you just listen to me for once?"

"I have listened to you. For too long, perhaps. This whole situation got out of hand. I knew this would not lead to anything good. It's all my fault for allowing the two of us to get close, if that's even how you felt. Who knows, certainly not me."

I took a deep breath and looked away for a second before laying my eyes on his face. The blank expression wasn't as blank as it seemed on the surface. A hurricane of emotions was hiding underneath, waiting to rage. And before I knew it, I grabbed his wrist and pulled him closer to me. I put my other hand on his waist and quickly kissed him. His lips were not welcoming mine like they did not that long ago. I didn't know what to say. How to explain what was going on, or what was going through my head. I wasn't sure myself. The feelings I felt towards him, or the feelings I felt when he said that we were done. The only thing I knew for sure was that I didn't want to let go. Of him, or the way I felt.

He pulled away from me quickly, burrowing his brows at me. Not knowing what to do, I stood there looking at him, hoping he understands. Hoping that somehow, that kiss was enough.

"This was so irresponsible." he wiped his lips with the back of his hand. "What would you do if someone walked in?"

"I'm sorry. But desperate situations require desperate solutions."

"Alright. I will talk to you. I'll give you one hour to explain the deal with your classmate. I am telling you now that we are done otherwise, so other than that, I don't want to hear about anything else."

"Fine." I agreed, knowing well that I wouldn't listen to what he just said later on.

"Let's talk tomorrow." Right after he said that, the bell rang through the whole building, telling us that the lunch break was over. "I have to go now."

"Okay, tomorrow it is."
