Sarada's POV:

When I woke up it was 1:00am. I looked at my phone and I had 20 text messages from Chouchou. Great. What does she want now.

I just woke up. What do you want.

Chouchou 👭🍡
Finally! I've been waiting for a response. Anyways can I stay over your house?

What! Why?

Chouchou 👭🍡
'Cause my parents are getting on my nerves and I need to get out.

Absolutely not.

Chouchou 👭🍡
Please. Cmon! You're my best friend don't do me like that (╯︵╰,)

Ugh. Okay fine but if my mother catches you I'm not the one to blame.

Chouchou 👭🍡
Great! I'm already outside your house anyways. Bye

Just then I heard a loud knock on my window. I quickly rushed over to my window, almost tripping over my own feet.

I pulled back the curtains and opened up the window. It was none other than the idiot who I call a friend: Chouchou.

She hopped inside and jumped onto my bed. I quietly shut the window and sat down on one of my bean bag chairs.

"Well aren't you cozy over there." I said putting my hair in a bun. She was tucked under my covers and was snuggling my stuffed crocodile. His name was crocodilly.

"Sarada, I swear you have the best bed in the universe." I chuckled. She's done and said this so many times that I personally think she sleeps on a rock.

"So did you just come over here to sleep or do you wanna talk?" I asked. She sat up with the cover wrapped around her body and patted the spot next to her.

I got up and sat down on the bed. When I looked at Chouchou she had this weird smirk on her face. I raised one eyebrow at her.

"Sooo how did things go with Bolt?" She asked. I knew she was gonna ask this since she is basically our school's shipper/gossiper.

"Everything went fine. I just treated his injuries and then I took him home." By the way she was looking I could tell she wanted more out of me.

She stared at me for a minute and put a hand on her chin. "You're lying." She stated. Honestly I really didn't want to tell her what was about to happen at his house.

I glared at her. "Are you calling me a liar."

She glared back. "Well I ain't callin you a truther!"

I sighed and raised my hands in defeat. "Fine you caught me, I actually went inside his house and fed him. There ya happy?"

She squealed and started jumping up and down. I pulled her back down and covered her mouth.

"Do you wanna wake up my mother and get kicked out." She quickly shook her head. "Okay then shut up."

When I pulled back my hand, she was smiling weirdly at me. "That's the first step to you guys become the school's power couple. The second step is bathing him, the third step is helping him with his homework and-"

I just tuned her out cause it was making me feel guilty. I had to lie to my best friends face about a relationship that's fake. I have to end this before the guilt kills me.

"Oh yeah and did you see what Boruto posted today on instagram today?" This caught my attention. "What did he post I was sleep all day."

She pulled out her phone and showed me the post. I grabbed her phone and my eyes widened at what I saw.

In the photo was Boruto and Sumire. He had his arm around her shoulder and her arm was wrapped around his waist. He put the peace sign up and they both had a tint of blush on their face.

What angered me even more was the caption. He put two heart eyes next to her @ name. I read the comments and half were saying how cute they looked together and the other half, which were my friends, were saying that he was 'cheating' on me.

I gave Chouchou back her phone and looked down while playing with my fingers. "Hey you ok?" She asked rubbing my back.

I looked at her and smiled. "Yeah I'll just confront him at the party today and maybe give him a hit or two." She punched her fist in her palm. "That's the spirit. Give him an extra one for me."

I laughed at her and the rest of the night we talked until we dozed off.

♧Timeskip♧

When I woke up the time read 9:30am. I closed my eyes but popped them back open when I remembered something. Shit! My mother leaves at 9:35. If she sees Chouchou here she'll beat both of us up.

I frantically shook Chouchou but she wouldn't budge. "Mmm I don't want lightly salted potato chips." She mumbled. I looked at the time. It read 9:33.

A light bulb went off in my head. "Chouchou~ I've got the new wasabi Doritos." I said in her ear.

Instantly she sprang up. "Where! Where are they?" She said looking around. I shushed her and told her to get under my bed.

She looked at me like I was crazy. "Sarada, you expect a body like this to fit under that tiny space?" I could hear my mother coming up the stairs so I pushed her on the floor and shoved her under the bed.

I laid on the bed and acted like I was playing some games on my phone. "Damn Sarada what have you been eating?" She mumbled/said. I kicked bed, making her shut up.

Just then the door to my room opened. "Honey I'm leaving. I made a quick breakfast for you so you won't get hungry." She said fixing her hair.

"Okay mom." I replied. She walked over to me and kissed my forehead before walking out. Just when I thought I was in the clear, she stopped in the doorway.

"Oh and I heard some thumping from downstairs. What was that all about?" She asked. Come on Sarada think think think!

"I.....uhh....saw a bug so I was trying to get it away." Whew, nice save Sarada.

"Well okay, I'll see you on Monday night." She said before closing my door. Just to make sure, I waited until I heard the door shut and her car pull off.

"Okay Chouchou you can come out now." I said getting up. Chouchou then rolled out from under my bed and she was red in the face. I stifled a laugh as she got up.

Now that I got a clear look at her, her face looked like an angry tomato. I busted out laughing while holding my stomach. I wiped the tears from my eyes and saw her standing with her hand on her hip.

"Just what do you think is funny, missy?" She asked angrily. "Oh it was nothing now let's go eat." I said changing the subject.

We ate the breakfast my mother originally made for me but I had to share with Chouchou since she was already here. Once we was done eating, we went to the mall to get our outfits.

"Alright Chouchou." I said starting up my car. "If you want to use my aux cord you have to put on something I like."

She pouted and scrolled through her playlist. "Okay how about 'Run the World' by Beyoncé." She asked. That was actually my favorite song so I nodded my head.

She pushed play as I drove off.

✰At the mall✰

We went to a store called Charlotte Russe and browsed for some dresses. "Sarada what about this one." Chouchou pointed out. It was a yellow dress which had ruffles at the bottom. Not my cup of tea. I shook my head and looked for another dress.

One dress in particular caught my eye. It was a skin-tight, nude, off the shoulder dress which had matching nude heels with it.

(^ This is what it looks like. Sorry I'm bad at explaining.

I loved it so much that I didn't even care to look at the price tag. When I got over to Chouchou, she picked out a black dress with spaghetti straps and some thigh high black heels which were open toed.

When both of our clothes rang up it was $220. Eh not that bad compared to what I usually buy. I charged it to my father's credit card. Being a daddy's girl allows me to use his card whenever I please (/^▽^)/

We got our stuff and walked out of the store, only to be confronted by two of Sumire's friends.

"Well, well, well, if it isn't dumb and dumber." Wasabi Izuno said. "Heh I wonder which one is dumb and which one is dumber!" Namida Suzumeno replied to which they started cackling.

Chouchou and I hated these two with a passion. They have always been tormenting us since elementary school but we couldn't do anything about it because our parents thought it was 'unladylike.'

"Says the girl whose name is Wasabi like come on your parents named you after horseradish." Chouchou retorted. I snickered and gave her a high five.

"Well at least I'm not a fat slob like you." Wasabi said. That's one thing you should never EVER call Chouchou. It's. About. To go. Down.

"Don't forget about forehead freak over here." Namida started. "I mean, look at the way she dresses, she looks so poor. No wonder why her father left her."

That was the last straw. I threw down my bag and tackled that hag. I threw punches left and right at her face which kinda hurt my hand but I didn't care.

I looked over and saw Chouchou bang the Wasabi's head into a wall. Damn. Just when I thought I was violent.

I punched everywhere on her body and I was sure she had some broken ribs, maybe a broken wrist and a broken nose.

I was about to throw another punch but an unknown person hauled me and Chouchou over their shoulder and walked away. "Let me go!" I screamed repeatedly hitting whoever it was back.

When they set us down I looked at their faces. It was our friends Inojin and Shikadai. "Man why did you have to go and break it up, I was just about to slam her." Chouchou said with her arms crossed.

From their facial expression I could tell they were pretty pissed off. "Ugh, before you guys start lecturing us, we have a very good explanation on why we did that." I said trying to reason with them.

"Go on Chouchou explain." I said nudging her. Chouchou nervously chuckled and cleared her throat. "You see, they came at us first with some insults and when Namida started taking about Sarada's father all hell broke loose."

When I looked back at their faces, I could tell their eyes softened. Whew. It looks like they're taking my side.

"Okay that's Sarada's reason but what about you, Chouchou?" Shikadai asked.

"Easy." Chouchou said opening a bag of chips. "She called me fat." Inojin and Shikadai both looked at each other and shrugged.

"Everybody knows not to call Chouchou fat so she just learned her lesson." I said closing my eyes.

"What a drag." Shikadai sighed. I looked at the time on my phone. It read 12:01pm. "Oh would you look at the time, sorry boys but we have to go home and get ready for the party." I said getting our bags from their hands while dragging Chouchou away.

"Wait. It's only 12:01 and the party starts at 9!" Inojin yelled back. I ignored him and walked out the mall.

When I got in my car, we both let out a sigh of exhaustion. "This has been one hell of a morning, hasn't it bestie." Chouchou said holding her hand out.

"Hells yes." I said slapping her hand and drove away.
