That solid Anterior felt hard but she was frozen to that sudden action. Her hands still holding that box while her waist was clutched by a hand, while her eyes were looking at the box and shifted to the boy on the ground.

All were stunned to what just happened, it's like a sudden betrayal without a hint to notice. All turn to the two of them with that surprised look

"What just happened?" Chocho whispered beneath her voice, making her to only hear it

Boruto keeps on blinking as he questions himself what did he just do? His left arm was still holding her waist. Did his body moved on its own? Or did he do that on purpose?

Not a single word utter but keep their stares lock upon the two who were intimate. Sarada came back at her sense and took hard to absorb what just happened

"Who?..." her only word was release from mouth

He directly let her go, "Sorry, I just thought of helping-"

"That's doesn't matter!" She barges into him

She left her friends in shock because if Sarada was the Sarada before, she would be way too shock to even spoke, stuttering like the old Hinata would do. Blushing a little bit and would be in an awkward tone

She bent down a little to help that poor boy on the ground

Is this for real? Is she helping me?... she really is nniiiccceee!!!

The boy's eyes felt that feeling of being captivated by her kindness, he was blessed with bliss

"are you okay?" She reaches out one hand and held the box on the other

Boruto's brows were deep down, he feels enraged inside. But he didn't know why he was acting like this, because Sarada's been indifferent to him now or she would rather help that guy than defending herself about what happened... well, he was at fault too, grabbing her without authorization

The boy on the ground blush like red tomato and grab Sarada's hand and not a second she pulled him up, luckily the bouquet of red roses wasn't destroyed. He put his face on the line for his goddess to accept his gift

He quickly led out the bouquet in front of Sarada and his head bent down, not looking

Is he really that desperate to give that to me?... I saw myself in him, quite the opposite side of course... should I feel pity?

Her eyes layed down at the bouquet, not long after that, the boy felt like his hand was light and no longer holding anything anymore. So, this means she really accepted huh?

As soon she accepted that Valentines offered the other boys took their turn, luckily there were 3 of them so she could manage to carry her 'gifts,' after that, they were quickly shooed by chocho cause they already used their luck too much

"How can we go on if this Valentine's' gift' of yours is on the way?!" The chubby girl whine

All of her male friends look to her with the curious type of caution. Boruto stare at her with disbelief of her accepting it

"Help me drop this off in the apartment and we'll continue our day!" She smiled brightly at her best friend and then turned to the guys

"We'll go ahead first!" She smiles genuinely to them "well talk later, shikadai!" And she started to head off

"Wait, I'll come with you!" Boruto offered, stepping towards them when he was suddenly stopped by her voice

"No need, I still have something to do privately with chocho, Best if you hang around with your gang while I hang around mine, have a good day!" And continue to walk away from them

"Damn, that was harsh!" Inojin broke their silence

They stare at the back of Boruto who seems to be confusing, well they all are. But the one who took the most of it was the blonde boy in front of them

They walk while Sarada carried her gifts. They took the road with a quiet atmosphere surrounding them.

Sarada looks surprisingly calm as if the accident never occurred. Still, her face was on the road, averting chocho's gaze cause she knew she would be thrown with thousand question her chubby friend could ask

Chocho sigh with disbelief, "What happened back there?"

She finally looks at her eyes, stares at a moment before she realizes that she was asking her a question

"What happened, what?" She throws another one

"Don't you try to act as nothing had happened! You were all weird and... so... so-"

"Different?"

"Yeah, it's not like you!" She looks eager at her onyx eyes "you're not you!"

Sarada gave her the blank expression, almost the same as her father, Sasuke. She was like another person walking along with chocho.

What's gotten into her? Chocho question herself with a brow down

Sarada looks at her front again "Yes, I've been purposely doing it today... I think I had enough and needed to change a bit. It wasn't that easy to convince myself but I needed the encouragement from-"

"But that doesn't mean you should be mean to him,"

Chocho's interruption made her stunned. She was right, after all. Moving on doesn't define as avoiding someone

They stop halfway to her apartment, her gaze fell down to her sandals "I just don't know what to do anymore... I just thought maybe I need some time alone"

Her tone was stress, and her eyes are gleaming with struggles. Chocho couldn't find a way to comfort her, she might be good at advising love tactics but wasn't really good at consoling the heartbroken

She patted her back gently, "cheer up, it's not like Boruto is the last man on earth to hook up with! Besides, there's still that mysterious boyfriend of yours,"

Her teasing went successfully since Sarada pouted at her

Sarada heave a light sigh "I still can live without a man in my life, so I just need to be cold-hearted when it comes to love, right?"

"That's not what I mean!"

They got into a quite fit of a giggle and continue to walk the road, heading to Sarada's apartment
