| Part 12 |

The next day at school, Hinata was waiting for you in front of the bathroom. While she was waiting she spotted Naruto and Sasuke. "O-Oh, hey you guys!" Naruto immediately spots her "Hey Hinata!" He then started walking towards her leaving Sasuke behind, Sasuke sighs trailing behind him.

Naruto notices that you weren't with her "Where's (Y/n)?" He asked looking around the place. Hinata looked at Sasuke then back at Naruto "S-She's in the bathroom, I'm w-waiting for her here" All of a sudden the bathroom door opens revealing you walking out also dusting off your clothes "I'm back" You arrive next Hinata then notices that she wasn't alone seeing Naruto and Sasuke. You start to sweat drop looking away, you felt weird being around them especially Sasuke. "Oh...Hey"

He saw you turn away as he also sweat drops feeling guilty once again. "Right.." Naruto looked weirdly at them, he finds it weird to see them being distant with each other. He couldn't blame them though.

You stay silent then suddenly remembers about the money you had to give him back. You've been trying to give it back to him ever since the day he went with you to your workplace. The money never left their spot such as in her backpack pocket, she took her bag then took it out "Uh..Here's the rest of the money that you left behind the last time.." You give him the money then starts to leave "I-I'll be right back" You quickly leave around the corner

Hinata watches her leave around the corner with a frown on her face. "(Y/n)-chan.." She knew exactly what she was feeling at the moment, the only thing she could do was comfort her. Naruto sighs shaking his head "Damn, You really messed up Sasuke" Sasuke glances at the money she passed over to him as he grips onto it "Just shut it"

"No need to be aggressive" Said Naruto crossing his arms also looking away

Hinata saw how distressed he looked, she didn't like the idea of helping but she didn't want to see him feeling off. She takes his arm then drags him "L-Let me help you, you really n-need it" She drags him outside the building with Naruto following behind.

"How could you possibly help?" He asked

"Easy, I-I'm her best friend. My help is m-most likely needed" She said smiling at him

"Go ahead I'm listening" He absolutely didn't believe it. His situation is more complicated than she thinks. Hinata explains with pleasure "You want (Y-Y/n)-chan to f-forgive you r-right?"

"Well, yeah.." He did want her to forgive her but he didn't know how to make it up to her. Hinata grins at his response "T-Then if you're not occupied after school, g-go to her dancing lessons."

"Since you looked amazed by her singing and dancing, you can do that"

Hinata nodded in agreement with this

"Y-You can either go and p-pick her up or come early to watch her or s-something"

Sasuke thought about their suggestions. True, he was amazed but he was worried about how she'd react to him coming to visit her during her dance lessons once he was over with his photo shoots "Maybe after her lessons, I can talk to her at my place"

"Thank god that your parents aren't here tonight after your photo shoots" Naruto added

Hinata looked confused at him, what did Sasuke's parents have to do with all that? "W-What do you mean?" Sasuke sighs as he didn't want to explain his complicated family story "It's a long story"

"N-No time for that, just do whatever you can. I-I'm going to see (Y/n)-chan. I know her hiding s-spots." She says then takes her leave, leaving them behind

···

You were hugging your knees next to the tree beside the track area, you weren't up for anything at the moment. Hinata sees you from afar as she goes to approach you "(Y-Y/n)-chan, are you okay?"

You fake smile at her trying to make her think that you're okay when actually you're not "I'm okay..I just don't know how to face him"

"He s-seems pretty hurt, I-I think he actually does l-like you" Hinata says placing a hand on your shoulder in order to comfort you "M-Maybe you should be a little bit m-more indulgent with h-him?"

You look down at her phone as it was turned off "Maybe I should have a talk with him...Well I'll try" Hinata grins at you "T-That's the spirit (Y-Y/n)-chan" The bell suddenly rings

¡DRING DRING!

"Oh, we should get to class" You say getting up from your spot on the ground as Hinata does some nodding her head. You both make your way inside the building.

Later on, class was over, you and Hinata were walking out of class when girls would start to glare at you. Why were the girls glaring at you? That's an answer that you couldn't respond too. You sudden sweat dropped by the tension between you and the girls.

"Why are they all glaring at me..?" You whisper to Hinata. She also seemed to be clueless at this point "I-I'm not even sure m-myself" She whispers back to you. All of sudden you receive a notification on your phone, you'd take it out when Hina calls for you with a panicky voice "(Y-Y/n)-chan, look" She shows her a photo of you and Sasuke on her phone.

You jump at the image, who the hell would do this? "W-What! H-How did this happen..?" You could believe your eyes, was this really happening??

Ino walks up to you with a smug look on her face acting as if she had nothing to do with the photo "Hmph, you're pathetic"

"How dare she kiss Sasuke-kun like that!?" A Sasuke fan girl would say to you clearly full of rage. She literally wanted to rip off your head.

Another fan girl steps in while shouting trying to catch everyone's attention "Listen up everyone! We aren't going to let her get away with this aren't we!?"

Two other fan girls add in their opinion "Hell no, She deserves a beating!"

"Yeah!"

Other random people in the school would disagree with the fan girls statement saying their opinion as well "You should let it be, I think they're cute together"

"Yeah, you can't just give her a beating for something that she didn't start" The random girl say as a sigh escaped her lips "And so what if she kissed him, it's not like it's the end of the world"

The random girls and the fan girls start arguing with each other trying to prove their points. You and Hinata would just eclipse away from it all heading outside the building. They were better off over their from the start

You look down at this situation happening in front of you, what could you do to stop this? Nothing.. It frustrates you a lot especially about Yahiko knowing about this "Why is this all happening right now..?"

"I-I don't know but w-we need to stop this m-madness" Hinata says determined to help out her best friend. Out of the neon, someone pops up in front of You and Hinata, the person seemed to be panicking a bit "Hey you! Your boyfriend with orange hair is fighting Sasuke, come quick!" The person immediately leaves hoping that you'd follow behind

"W-What!? Oh no this is bad!" She follows behind the person "Oh no.." Hinata says with a frown as she follows behind you. The person leads You and Hinata to a classroom, all the chairs were scattered everywhere along with having broken tables. Naruto was there trying to break the fight

Yahiko punches Sasuke straight in the face with so much anger that he couldn't even handle his strength "You bastard, why the fuck did you kiss my girlfriend!?" Sasuke had no intention on fighting him, he knew exactly why he kissed you in the first place so those hits that he's been taking were nothing to him. "I have no reason to talk to you" He spits out the blood that was gathered inside his mouth then would glare at him

"Come on, fight back or I'll make sure to destroy that face of yours that everyone seems to love" Yahiko was about to throw a hit on him again when Naruto caught his fist blocking his passage "Don't you dare hit him again!"

"So what? His face won't be good enough for photo shoots? Well you know what! I don't care!" Naruto throws his fist away "It's none of your god damn business!"

You arrive at the room seeing them fight, you didn't know how to break them apart. Panic was the only thing that could make it's way out of you. You see that Yahiko was at the point of pushing Naruto away when You jump in shouting with all your might "Yahiko, Stop!  P-Please, just stop..!" You started to have tears fall down your cheeks

Yahiko instantly stops everything then would turn his gaze to you "(Y-Y/n).." Hinata, with the small time she had, she made her way to Sasuke in order to pull him out of there "I-It's alright, I-I'll take you out of h-here" Sasuke stops her from doing anymore movement "N-No..I'm perfectly fine" He decides to move away from her only so that she'd be safe from Yahiko. Naruto cuts in with an angry look "Bro! You're injured!"

"It was worth it" He says wiping the extra blood from his mouth. You decided to go and block his way towards him, you didn't want any of this continue "I-I it's all my fault.." Yahiko cleans the blood on his knuckles with a confused look on his face. He didn't understand what was going on with you "What do you mean it's all your fault!? He fucking kis–"

You cut him off while sobbing "I started this.. If I didn't start to whole bet then, then... this wouldn't have happened!" You look away from his gaze sadly "I-I'm sorry.."

Yahiko looks at her in shock "What are you talking about? What is this bet?" You collapse letting your knees his the cold floor. You knew that after this whole thing, he'd most likely start to hate you.. "I made this bet.. if he managed to make me like him then I promised to be his.. and if he failed, he'd have to leave me alone for good"

"I was confident that he'd fail but–" Yahiko cut you off glaring at you, he didn't appreciate the big antic that you caused "But what?"

You looked down from him, you felt extremely ashamed. You were just about to respond when he spoke once again "You know what, we'll speak after all of this. I don't want to waste my time staying here" Yahiko finished coldly giving a death glare at the Uchiha then would leave the classroom. Your sobs continued when Hinata finally arrived to you. She took you into a tight hug "It's okay (Y-Y/n)" You hug Hinata back tightly "L-Let's just go..." You get up then would head over to Sasuke helping him up "Let me help you.."

Naruto didn't want you to deal with him so he decided to intervene "(Y/n), I can do–" You stop his talking by putting your hand in front of his face "No, I've got it" Sasuke just looked at her surprised, why would she go and help him in the first place? "(Y/n) I-"

"Shut up" You look at Naruto then at Hinata signaling them to move along "Come on, let's go.." They all head out to the infirmary leaving all the mess in the classroom behind. Someone's gonna pass by to clean it up anyways.

Once they got there, Naruto and Hinata decided to leave them alone. They knew that things need to be explained between them. "(Y/n)..stop" You didn't even listen to him, you just kept cleaning the blood of his face with a wet cloth "..." He moved her hand away in order for her to stop "I said stop"

You gripped onto the cloth tightly, why was he denying your help? "Quit denying my help" You put the small cloth in the water to out the blood. You'd then squeeze it letting the water infused inside drop. You then would start to wipe the side of his eye "I'm serious, stop!" He grips onto your hand. You start to have shadows form around your eyes "Why? Why would you let yourself get beat up!?" You shout at him.

He sighs "I let him hit me because I knew that I didn't do anything wrong. I realize it now... the reason why I kissed you" You looked away from him then would touch your lips softly, the feeling you were getting was unfamiliar "What do you mean the reason? What does it mean..?"

"Take out your phone" It was the only thing he said also taking his out. He wanted to prove his reason. You look at him confused, why would you take out your phone in a time like this? "W-What..?"

"Just do it.." He says as you stay silent for a moment then would finally take out your phone "Turn on your love alarm on 3" You sigh going with it as you both turn it on, on the count of 3. Suddenly both phones ring. It was a shock for you.

You look at your phone surprised to see 1 red beating heart "I-It was you that rang it last time.." He sees a heart on his phone as well then grins "Now you understand why?" You start to blush also trying not to show it. You then nod at his words. "..."

He sees the blush then grins once again "I'm surprised that you like me back. Seems like I won the bet" You scrawl at him for that remark, you knew damn well about it "I should be the one saying that..Also, I don't like you like you think I do–" You keep looking away "I still have feelings for Yahiko.. I-It's complicated" You revealed avoiding the response he said about the bet.

"I honestly didn't think it was possible for a celebrity to like a normal school girl"

"Well visibly it is possible, you have proof right in front of you" You grip onto the cloth still not having eye contact with him. He takes the cloth from you then takes your other hand holding it "Hey, look at me"  You avoid blushing at his touch on your hand "Why should I?"

"Because I want to see you from up close" He lifts your chin up pulling your head up so that he could look at you "You're really beautiful, I don't know why I didn't mention this earlier" He sighs in disappointment to himself. You stay silent 'Why is he so close to me..?'

'Now I really want to kiss her' He approaches her also pulling her close to him. You gasp seeing that he was slowly making his way towards you 'Ah damn it, what do I do!?' You instantly turned away from him, you were feeling kind of ashamed of yourself then would avoid eye contact while fidgeting your index fingers

'Man.. I knew that this was going to happen' He also looks away nervously also slightly rubbing the back of his head. The nurse looks at them as a giggle escapes her lips "Did I disturb you guys? Oh silly me, I only can to check on the injured"

"Uh..Should I leave?" You get up from your spot nervously while sweat dropping "Yeah, probably" You let out a sigh of relief "I'll see you.. later I guess"

He nods still looking away "Yeah.." 'I should probably ask her now..'  You were about to leave the room when all of a sudden he catches your hand "W-Wait.!" He calls for you as you sigh in defeat. You turn around to face him "What is it?"

"Would you want to go somewhere after school?" He asks you kinda confident this time. You couldn't help but smile at that "Well, sure but..I have dance practice after school" He hangs his head low, he totally forgot about that. "I'll just pick you up right after, what time does it finish?"

You slowly rub your right temple "Oh well.. At 7 pm, it's kinda late" He didn't really mind if it was late, at least it means that he can stay away from his home and family for the time being "It's just fine, I'll see you at 7" You suddenly smile at that "R-Right, see you then"

You leave him to get treated by the nurse of the school as you then met with Yahiko outside the school. Your nervousness grew each second that approached,  what was he going to tell you?

"(Y/n)" Yahiko said coldly, he wasn't in the mood for anything at the moment. You gulp a bit at his voice tone, this wasn't going to end well "I-I can explain–"

"If you just think that going around, playing with people's feelings is 'fun' then you're damn wrong" He crossed his arms staring deeply into your eyes with the same glare as earlier.

You avoided his glare, you knew that you were at fault so you decided to take all the responsibility "My goal wasn't to play with feelings.. I just wanted to.." You grip onto your clothes tightly

"Wanted to what? Don't test my patience (Y/n)" His aggressiveness slowly started to surface by the anger he was manifesting "I-I just wanted to get rid of him but it didn't go as planned.." Your voice trailed off at the very end

"What is between the both of you? I want answers" He wanted to know absolutely everything, if you were about to say what he thought then he'd have to break ties. You stood there silently for a bit then finally responded "There's nothing.."

He scrawls at you for lying. He knew it when you were lying, it was written all over your face "Bullshit. You like him don't you?" You didn't answer and rubbed your arm, maybe you did kinda like Sasuke but you also had feelings for Yahiko as well "I still have feelings for you so I don't exactly know for him.."

Yahiko sighed, he definitely knew that you something was up with you and him "I don't think that we can continue on like this" He looked away "This might just hurt you just as much as it hurts me but it's for the best" Your eyes widened at his words, you weren't expecting him to break up with you. Tears couldn't help but trail down your cheeks "I- Yahiko–"

He grit his teeth then turned away "I'm sorry" With that he started to leave back inside the school. You stood there with tears slowly streaming down, things wouldn't be the same anymore..
