New Year, New Love SasuNaru

Chapter 12: A Dance and Friends

Sasuke Pov

The school bell rung indicated that class was over. I grabbed all of my things and put it in my bag and stood up from my seat and made my way to my locker to put the things I didnt need back. "Finally, lunch." I said to myself. As I was unlocking my locker I felt a pair of arms wrap around my waist almost knocking me down as well. " Sasukeeee!! Are you ready to head to lunch? Its the best time of the day!" I regain my balance and smiled towards Naruto. I started putting my things away. "Yeah, well to be honest I dont really eat the school lunches... I mostly bring my own lunch to school so but I didnt bring any food so---" "Don't tell me that you're not gonna eat?" I just looked at him and rubbed the back of my head. "No, not really..." "Well that's not happing... at least eat something small, please?" "I'll think about it on our way to lunch" He smiled and nods.

We started walking to the lunchroom and as we were making our way there I saw some students putting up some posters. I didnt pay it any mind so I just kept on walking. As we made it to the lunchroom I saw one of the posters, I stopped and read it. "Winter Ball Dance! Tickets will be announced." 'Winter Dance?' I looked over at Naruto to see his face lit up. He looks over at me with the biggest smile showing his pearly whites. I blushed a "I'll tell you the details when we get inside but let's go inside first and get lunch cause I'm starving. So are you eating?" "Oh um yeah I don't----" "Okay, first I was asking now I'm telling you, you will eat something cause you will not go the whole school day without eating." He grabs my wrist and drags me to the line to wait for our food.

Naruto and I got our food and went to go sit at a table. I sat down at the table and Naruto sat across from me. "So what's with this dance? School just started." I said as I took a bite of my food. I got the same thing as Naruto which was Ramen. 'This isn't half bad..... I guess.' "Oh the dance! Its's beautiful, we always have it before we go on winter break cause we get a week off from school. The gym is decorated with snowflakes and fake snow in some places and all this other pretty things, it's just so beautiful!! You're going to have so much fun!!" He says with such a big smile. I smile back and continue to wat my lunch. "Do you have anyone in my mind to take to the dance?" I looked up a him a little confused and put my fork down. "Ummm, I don't think so..... I dont really know if I'll be able to go to the dance cause---" "Because you always end up moving...." "Yeah, that s why I dont really get excited for things like dances and clubs or make friends..." I say with a monotone voice and kept looking at Naruto who gave me a sad expression. I looked down at my lunch and continue to eat.

There was a couple minutes of silence until Naruto broke it. "You know, maybe you'll end up staying and will end up going to the dance as well...You never know." He smiled and I nod and gave him a small smile back. I was about say something until Kiba, Ino and Shikamaru came down to our table and sat down with us. "Hey Hey Naruto and Sasuke." "Hey Kiba, Ino and Shikamaru! Ino Sai isn't with you?" "No, umm but I did see him in the halls though, he said that he'll be going around the classes to help out the teachers for the afternoon classes so he wont be coming to lunch, but I'll be taking him his lunch to him." I looked at her and Naruto looked at her as well and smiled. "Thanks for looking after him Ino, he's always keeping himself busy now and days and we don't spend much time with each other but im glad he has such a great friend looking after him." He gave her a big smile and she gave him a small smile back.... but it was a guilty smile.

A couple of minutes pass and everyone was talking with one another. "Well, I'm gonna be on my way. I'm gonna take Sai some food before it's time for class again, I'll see you guys around." I kept my eyes on her as she got up from the table. "Wait Ino, I'll come with! I want to see him before class starts, I haven't seen him since this morning." "Oh umm sure. I'm sure he would love to see you." She throws her trash away and pulls out her phone real fast. I looked over to Naruto as he gets up form the table. "I'll see you guys in class!" "See ya Naruto" "Later Naruto" "See you in a bit." He gives us all a big smile and makes his way to the trash can. I look over back at Ino to see her still on her phone. I looked closely at her facial expression to see that she's blushing a bit. "Okay sooo I'm not the only one here that thinks that Ino and Sai are a thing? Sasuke knows what I'm talking about..." He stops talking and looks at me. I just closed my eyes and nodded and sighed.
