On The Contrary

Chapter 3

It was fifth period, which was lunch for Sasuke. He just finished Trigonometry and was walking slowly down the stairs towards the cafeteria. He reached the large crowded room and found the table he usually sat at. His friends were already sitting there, Sakura, Neji and his girlfriend Tenten, Shikamaru and his girlfriend, Temari and Choji and Ino.

"Hey Sasuke." Neji greeted as Sasuke arrived at the table.

"Hn." Was the reply.

"How was classes so far?" Temari asked.

"Hn." Came Sasuke's thoughtful reply.

"What is your problem?" Sakura asked, giving him a scowl.

"Troublesome." Shikamaru spoke up. "Neji looks like your cousin is coming over here."

The table looked over to see Hinata coming from the table where Naruto, Sai and Kiba were sitting, watching Hinata's movements.

Sasuke's gaze stayed longer then he wanted on the blonde and he made contact with Naruto. He kept his stare, not wanting to be the one to break eye contact first, though Naruto was stubborn.

"Sasuke!" Sakura's shrill shriek brought him out of his staring contest and he blinked and quickly gave her a glare.

"What?!" His voice was harsh as he looked at her.

"I was saying, just go over there and tell him how you feel. Just staring at him won't get anything done. You need to be- "

Sasuke slammed his hand on the table, causing the whole table and some onlookers to stare. "Sakura, when will you realize, this isn't a love story. Naruto's not in love with me, not after what I did to him."

"Excuse me," Sakura and Sasuke turned their heads to look at Hinata who was now staring at the two of them. "On the contrary, Sasuke. Naruto loves you. It's just a love story where YOU have to go after him."

Sasuke blinked owlishly at Hinata then turned to face Sakura who was giving him a smirk. He gave her a quick sneer before crossing his arms over his chest and huffed in annoyance.

"Thank you Hinata, for the advice!" Sakura smiled brightly at her as she nodded and walked back to her table. She turned to look at Sasuke, resting her head on top of her fist. "I told you Sasuke, now, how exactly are you gonna get him?"
