Shikamaru

I guess I made enough for today. I then shuffled through the money I had; which was about 700 dollars.

I've had better days though.

But that wasn't all. I have a little something that could make up for this lousy night of money.

"I'm rolling out," I said while dabbing up Naruto before leaving. I could've had a better night though but their band is trash so as expected not as much.

After saying goodbye I took out a cigarette and got my lighter out while slowly walking outside. That cigarette didn't last for long though. After all, he did show up.

Soon I snapped out of my trance and started to walk over there but with each step I got closer to him I observed him more.

He had new clothes on with messy hair that was slowly gonna cover his whole forehead. He looked tired and stressed at the same time while slowly walking with his hands in his pockets like he was hiding more than he said.

He soon came to a stop though and clenched his jaw a little while slowly glaring at me for a second. He then stood more straight and gave me a serious yet playful look while smirking.

"How'd we go, little bro?" I then gave him a smirk and tossed him the keys. It was to Narutos fathers car.

"Rich car huh?..Bingo.." He said while snatching the cigarette out of my hand and taking a wisp of it. He then slowly started to walk to the car leaving me just there thinking.

What have I gotten into?

"Yo come on man there waiting!!" Snapping me out of my trance we both got into the fancy car. I mean when you get a fancy car you should be happy right?

Right?

I mean I guess but I don't know...I just don't feel it. Maybe something's just wrong with me...

"Bro snap out of it we gotta pick up the others.." He then pointed to get out of the car and sit in the back to make room for the others of course.

It didn't take long to pick up then though. We've been planning this mess since they heard of the party that Naruto was hosting.

I just had to succeed to get the keys...Thankfully I did because who knows what they would've done if I had not gotten those keys....

"Mad car, after a few more years we probably gonna have 20 of these." They said while getting in the car. "With what, only fans?"

"Suck me Shika!"

"You would probably like that huh?" they said while laughing in the front and turning up the music a little.

"Not as much as your mom would," I said making one of them glare at me. We all started laughing but it soon ended as soon as the car started to speed up.

"Alright, y'all it's time." After hearing that I got chills. But I still ended up pulling out my ski mask and gun. "Yo hold on!!" The car then sped up and made a sharp left turn causing us to crash into a giant window.

As soon as that happened our plan was in motion.

Everyone then started to jump out of the car and started to fill up their bags with the most expensive things they could find. One by one.

But not without a little fun first.

They then started to throw things and knock them over yelling and laughing. But that didn't last for long.

"Yo stop! stop!! STOP." We then all stayed quiet and started to hear police sirens. "POLICE! POLICE!!" Soon everyone started to jump into the car without any hesitation.

But as we got in we then felt the whole car shake from a tantrum. "Man, the car won't move!! Just get the bags and GO!!" I then widened my eyes with fear.

This is not how I'm gonna go.

I then grabbed a bag and started to run. Soon everyone else was following behind. "Keep running!! And go hide with these. When you find a good place to store it come back." Itachi said while throwing the bag at me.

They soon all took off leaving me running in the direction of somewhere all alone.

Why would those bunch of idiots leave me with this??

Hinata

"W-what?!" I said while jolting up. With tired eyes, I looked out the window to see it was still night but to be honest I didn't really care about that.

I cared about everything that was scattered on the floor because of how it made me feel inside.

I felt so disgusting to even think of her in such a sweet matter because of what she did to me. But I couldn't. I still loved Sakura.

But even if I do now I don't wanna stay like this. Especially since I just tore everything down...So what should I...Wait.

If I'm gonna truly let go of her it has to be right. I'm not letting our ex-friendship get in the way of me growing up. It's time to let go.

I then got up and gathered all of the photos and things that were of hers and put them in a basket. Since everyone was asleep I had the opportunity to go to the backyard.

So how am I going to do this?..

Burial or burn it?

I mean if I do burial I could find it later if I ever regretted it but if I wanna truly get over Sakura I gotta start with the hard first step.

I then took out a lighter from my pocket and set a fire in the fire pit. Before throwing everything in I took one look at it one more time.

"Goodbye Sakura." Soon one by one all of the things I was holding ended up in flames. Now it's time for my true new beginning to start.

My true new me.

Sakura

"I'm just a phone call away." I then looked to my right and smiled at her.

"I know. Thanks...For everything."

"Of course...You ready?" I then gave her a slow nod and slowly made my smile disappear from my face. Honestly, I wanted to stay in the car. I didn't want reality to hit me again.

I didn't want it to hit me again.

"Hey...I think your dad wants to say hello.." she said while now looking at me and giving me a smile causing me to turn around and see him standing there.

It's your time Sakura.

I then slowly opened the door of the car and started to walk to him. "Hey. Here she is!" He then put his hands in his pockets and gave me a quick smile.

"Hi, dad.."  His smile then turned away a little bit and quickly came back. It was an obvious disguise though.

"So you feeling better?"

"Yeah.."  We then stood in silence for a while...Well until someone decided to break the ice.

"You must be her father."

"Yes. Yes, I am."

"Well, I'm Meredith, nice to meet you." She then shook his hand. "Hi, nice to meet you too...And wait I just want to say thank you."

He then put on a big smile. "Just thank you for everything thing you have done for Sakura. I appreciate it a lot."

"Not at all. Happy to have been a help." She then looked at me and grabbed one of my shoulders "Goodbye Sakura, see you later."

"..Bye." After she left honestly I thought it would be more awkward but it wasn't as much as I thought it was.

Everything felt amazing. It felt amazing to finally be home again. The breeze and the trees looked healthier too but I knew I couldn't just stand here looking.

So I then looked up. It was quiet though. No one talked. "Welcome back home.." he said while opening his arms.

But I ignored it and just walked past him. Even though I did miss him that's not what I was currently truly thinking about seeing the most.

I was just aiming to go back to where it all happened. My room.

While walking inside I took a second to observe everything and how it was placed when I left. It truly felt like forever since I've been home.

Even if it was just a few weeks.

I then sat my things down and sat on the table near my bed while checking around my room until I slowly saw something.

It's the clothes.

I then froze; anger slowly crept on me as I stared at it every second. It was just a radiant reminder of what happened.

But that anger slowly disappeared, I wanted to feel those feelings but it was like I couldn't. It was like that I just couldn't truly express them how I wanted to. I don't know why though.

Truthfully what I wanted to do was maybe put them in a shredder and yell a few things but I just couldn't. I don't know but just not yet and especially not now.

I just don't feel like it's right.

I soon held on to the feeling I was getting and hid it in between my mattresses. For now, it can stay there where no one can get to it.

But after that, I just wanted to get out and cleanse myself. I felt so dirty.

It was like that dirty feeling where even if you took a thousand showers and cleansed your hands every time you touched someone else you knew you were still dirty.

Because you still did it and it still happened.

But I don't care, I'm gonna make that feeling go away. I have to.

I ended up stopping at the bathroom and staring at the mirror. My eye bags have gone away and I looked healthier than the last time I was here.

I then smiled a little and got some water; whipped my face a little and tried to get out. But something stopped me.

I carefully looked down and saw a long peace of my hair on the floor. As soon as I saw that my smile disappeared and my face turned sour.

I thought I had thrown it away...

•

"Bye Sakura!" With that, I slammed the door shut and started to walk to class. I ended up smiling confused though when seeing Shion and KanKuro together making out.

Did I miss that much after leaving the party?..

It doesn't really matter though because either way imma bother Kankuro tell he tells me how that happened.

While walking I ended up smiling like crazy just from that moment but it ended up disappearing after seeing one pain in the ass.

"Left on read. Brutal.."

"No one asked you to do that at the party," I said bluntly while giving him no attention.

"Okay. Well, this is where I learn you don't like surprises." He says while running up to me closer.

I then stopped immediately and turned around. "No. I mean it Naruto I told you to keep it quiet about that hook-up." He then stayed quiet for a second and just looked at me.

"Okay, well, does it help it wasn't planned?..Look I just saw you there and you looked insanely beautiful which is on you. And then it kind of just happened." He then smiled at me.

I laughed under my breath and looked somewhere else only to see Hinata glancing over but it didn't last for long because after a minute she left.

I wanted to go but the guilt in me just ignored it and told myself to give her some time."Okay look, I get why you're angry and stuff because I'm angry at myself. That's why I wanna talk."

"Ok? We're talking now.."

"And...And I'm asking you out." I then looked at him for a second.

"No thanks." He then gave me a confused look.

"What?"

"We've only hooked up once anyway. What, are you like desperate?" His eyes then widened "..desperate?...Desperate?" He said while stumbling on his words.

"I don't wanna go out with anyone. And if you are bothered to ask me anything about myself you would've known that."

I then turned and left him standing there.

Why am I dealing with him?

Hinata

"Look at all these new people," Sai said while pointing up. We were looking under the table where we figured out you know what...

"Shion they have you and Kankuro right there!" Shion and I then froze and looked closer.

"How can they have that already we only did it once last night..?" She said while putting her head under the table with us.

"Yeah like all of these hookups happened at Dusty's party."

"Who do you think is doing all of this though..?"

"It doesn't matter who's doing it. That stupid list ruined my life. And now there's a version 2.0 of it." I said while groaning.

"Well, yours was way better," Sai said while laughing but then got shut up when Shion shoved him.

"Well, I am never ending up on that map again," I said while getting from under the table and sitting on top of it. "Romance is dead to me."

"What?" Shion said while getting on the table with me.

"I was obsessed with Naruto for like a bajillion years. And for what? I just ended up getting humiliated. I'm an idiot."

"Ok so "idiot" is ableist language.." Shion said while leaning her head on my lap.

"Yeh Hinata. Besides what's your alternative? Switch up your guys?"

"Basically like I don't wanna even think about boys or anything related to them for the next...However long it takes me to feel normal again."

"And how is that gonna work?" Shion said while giving me a look.

"Um...Anytime I think about boys or anything like that imma slap myself in the face." I said while giving myself a soft slap.

"Sure like that's gonna work," Sai said while laughing again only to be quiet again after Shipn shoved him. "Sorry.."

"You know what? A better idea is that you could get a hobby!"

"That's like every teenage girl's number one hobby.."

"A different hobby!"

"Yess!" I said while standing up with excitement. "I will get a hobby!..I'll join one of those extracurricular groups they advertise on the noticeboard in the quad!"

"Perfect," Shion said just as excited as me.

"Super wholesome and doesn't have to do with boys at all.." Shion was now jumping up and down.

"I'm gonna go look for you. Let's go." She said while grabbing Sai.

•

"Get off the field lunatic!" Ignoring another comment I walked faster with a heavy smile. This is my chance to focus on anything else other than Naruto.

I then saw them in the distance. They were all in a circle wearing smiley face shirts and just laughing.
"Excuse me? Is this the Haha club?"

The guy I asked turned around and looked me up and down with a disgusted face. "No, it's the debate team."

"What?.."

"Of course, it's the Haha Club open your eyes.."

I then stood there kind of surprised. "I'm sorry I just thought it would be more like an improv class..-"

"No, we just um..We gather in a circle. Then we just laugh." I then gave him a weird look.

"Why?.."

"I don't know to be honest but it is fun. You should give it a try." I then looked around twice on both sides. "Okay.."

I then took two steps forward and started my forced laughing.

What am I doing?

Toneri

"Toneri!" I then turned around and saw it was the coach calling me. Stepping forward with a worried face I slowly with enough courage ended up saying "Yes?"

"Good news. You've been selected to attend district tryouts." My face then lit up.

"For real?"

"Yeah. Me and your dad have been chatting and we think you got a real shot at making it but you gotta want it to truly succeed in this opportunity.

"Yeah, for sure. Yeah..."

"Good, that's what I like to hear. Well, you and Kiba are gonna have to put in the hard work this week."

I then looked at him confused for a second. "Kiba?"

"Yeah, you two are Khonas' best players. So now we have a double shot at it. It's called maths, danshi. Kiba!" Soon a sweaty 6'2 boy came jogging over to us.

"Right. So every spare minute I want you guys here training together. I don't want to see any of you slacking or not putting your best in this opportunity because this is a one-in-a-lifetime opportunity that you both most likely won't get again at such a young age."

"Yes, coach."

"Ok well, I'll leave you to it...Choji!" He said while walking off.

Kinda then side-bumped me. "Got a free period next? Wanna hit the weights?"

"Yeah sounds good," I said while walking off. And getting back to playing ball.

Like he said this is a one-time opportunity and I can't waste offers like this especially since my family isn't exactly the rich type.

Soon in the middle of the ball, the bell rang super loud. "Okay! The next practice is on Wednesday! If you miss it best believe our next next practice your running till your legs fall off!!" Everyone then got their things and started to walk off ignoring what the coach just yelled at us.

While walking with Kiba I saw Hinata. My stomach then ended up in knots. "I-I'll meet up with you in a second," I said while handing him the ball I had and walking off to her.

"So how'd your ankle pull out?" I said while smiling.

"Better than I expected.."

"Ah. It was probably the peas or should I say my peas.." I said while laughing a little.

"Of well thanks doctor.."

"Ah, that's okay. When I need help I'll know you'll be there..Hey..I was. I was wondering maybe you wanted to you know, hang out sometime?"

Her eyes then slowly widened. "Um sorry wait like..Um, I got to be somewhere right now but Im....Lets like talk later." she said tapping my shoulder twice and then dipping off.

While walking off I looked at her only to see her slapping herself. I then chuckled. "What a stranger person.."

Sai

"Listen I'm telling y'all chess is cool now." I then laughed a little "Is it?"

"Like it makes you smart and it teaches you patience and stuff like that." She said while grabbing my arm and leaning on me.

"Sounds revoltingly wholesome."

"It is. Just me, my opponents, some cute little Queens and castles, and whatever the other pieces are called the perfect hobby to consider since I'm avoiding those things."

"Isn't there a lot of boys in that club?" Shion said while giving me a look.

"Yeah but don't worry. None of them are my type or anything like that." She said while moving her hands while speaking. "So I'm safe."

Me and Shion then both gave her a look and ignored it and just continued walking into SLTS. "So we figured out when someone's into you, but that's just step one. Right?  After that, we need to find out what they might be comfortable doing sexually." I then raised up my hand.

"Say 'rimming' one more time Sai I'm gonna have to ask you to leave." I then put down my hand immediately after that.

"Anyway, what are some ways of communicating with that partner in one way."

"Ooh! Morse code?..On her-" Before he could finish his sentence Shikamaru threw a paper ball at him most likely knowing that what he was gonna say next was gonna be disgusting and perverted.

"Okay but like what about asking for guidance? Something like..Uhh. Like ask 'Tell me where you want me to touch you'."

"Here." Someone said causing everyone to laugh.

"Okay, let's split into our designated groups and work through the consent exercises attached. Hinata, can you please help me hand out the materials?"

3rd Person

Soon everything was going how it was supposed to..At least for Mr. Hatake.

But for Hinata, it was just another day in a hot annoying classroom. Especially since now she was not only just sitting with Naruto but she was also sitting with Ino, Kiba, Shino, and Toneri.

And the only person she liked at that table right now was Toneri. "Yo Naruto, heard there was a big mess at your house after the party."

The dirty blonde then used his hand to whip his face. "Yeah, it was a crazy night. Like, someone stole my dad's car...And crashed it into a shop off Keen Street.

He then started to shake his knee up and down and make a rhythmic annoying sound with a pencil. "You know I'd love to know the person that did it." He said under clenched teeth.

Getting more attention from not only his table but also Hinata.

But it was not too soon that after looking at him for a while she gave herself a miny slap on the cheek.

Come on snap out of his Hinata. No guy is more important than your education, especially this guy. So calm down.

Soon nonnoticeable breaths were made and after them it made Hinata think. What is worth it then?
