Boruto looked down at the button up shirt he was wearing and then back at his reflection. He ran a hand through his hair as he looked at his new black eye and swollen lip. He had gotten into another fight, this time with an older classmate named Iwabee. He was making fun of Iwabee during lunch for getting left back a year. Apparently Iwabee didn't like that, so he cornered Boruto afterschool where they fought in the parking lot but Inojin broke it up before anything got too serious. Boruto wasn't happy about the interruption and shoved the other blonde. It wasn't his fault though, he likes to think, he's just been more irritated than usual. Mitsuki joked that he was on his period but instead of laughing it off like usual, he ended up yelling at him. Mitsuki wasn't surprised when it happened but Boruto still apologized after.

A loud knock came from behind Boruto, shaking him out of his thoughts.

"Get out of the bathroom! You've been in there for twenty minutes and we're going to be late." Himawari complained from behind the door. The blonde rolled his eyes at his little sister's actions and opened the door to see her glaring at him with her hands on her hips.

"Yeah, whatever." He pushed past her and she stumbled back a little. Himawari glared at his back.

"You're being a jerk." Boruto shrugged but didn't respond as he walked away from her. He jogged down the stairs to see his mother checking the time on her phone. His dad stood right beside her and Boruto paused.

"Are you ready, Bolt?" Boruto blinked at his father's question. He hadn't been home this early in weeks. "Where's your sister?" Boruto shoved his hands into the pockets of his jeans and shrugged his shoulders. His eyes downcasted to his sneakers.

"Right here!" Himawari said as she pushed passed her older brother making him squeeze into the railing. Boruto winced when the wood pushed into his side, which was bruised from the fight. Himawari smiled innocently at her parents before turning back around and glaring at her brother. She knew he had a bruise there. Nobody said anything as they left the house but when the for into the car Naruto spoke.

"Bolt, how's school been?" Boruto didn't respond. He put in his earbuds and turned his music up. That was the last attempt at any conversation.

Sarada watched as her mother tried on outfit after outfit, none of them fitting her properly. She tried not to laugh as she watched. Her mother was pregnant, she had to be considerate. After Sakura's nap, she sat Sarada down and they talked. Sakura was fourteen weeks or at the start of her second trimester and she needed all the support she could get. They went over all the things Sarada already knew. This pregnancy was high risk, so Sakura wouldn't be working and she'd be home more often than not, she would need Sarada to be as understanding because if she thought Sakura was emotional already, she was about to get ten times worse. There was going to be a high amount of stress on everybody and too much stress or emotional turmoil could lead to a miscarriage. They just had to work with each other because a pregnant person and a teenager in a household would be an interesting experience.

Sarada stepped into the room and walked to her mother's closet. She pulled out a red sundress and placed it on her mother's bed.

"I'm going to go get ready, okay?" Sakura nodded her head as she looked at the dress.

"Thank you, princess." Sarada left the room and walked into her's. She quickly grabbed her jacket from the chair on her desk. She wasn't planning on staying for this dinner, she had way better things to do. As she opened her window the door bell rang. "Answer that for me!" Sakura yelled from down the hall. Sarada sighed. She threw her coat back down and left her room. When she opened the door, she came face to with the two people she didn't ever want to see at the same time.

Mitsuki barely interacted with Orochimaru, so he was surprised when he was asked to tag along to a business dinner at the Uchiha Manor. He questioned why Karin wasn't going or Suigetsu or Jugo. Orochimaru explained that they were all going and the invitation extended to him, for Sarada's sake. Mitsuki nodded in understanding. However, he didn't anticipate Boruto being there.

Boruto and Sarada haven't spoken or even looked at each other for months and now he had to watch them be awakard all throughout dinner. Not only that, he still hasn't told Boruto he's been talking to Sarada and Sarada doesn't know that Boruto doesn't know.

"This is going to be an eventful night." Himawari said as she entered the house with a amused whistle. Sarada's grip on the door tightened, Boruto looked at his feet with his music still blaring, and Mitsuki rocked back on his heels with a sigh.

What an eventful night indeed.

A/N
So today was my *first* day of school but that's a whole dub so tomorrow is the new official first day.
