🌸Sakura's POV🌸

"Time to get up!" My mother called through the door.

I groaned and sat up. I was dreading going to school today, especially after what happened yesterday.

The lunch bell rang. I went downstairs with the rest of my class to eat lunch. Butterflies pounded inside my stomach.

Today was the day I asked Sasuke to go to the dance with me! There was a skip in my step. I sat down at the table where Sasuke usually ate.

"Can I help you, Sakura?" My stomach clenched at the sound of his voice.

I quickly stood up and turned to face him, "Yes, actually, I have a question for you!"

"What do you want?" Sasuke sounded bored.

I fidgeted and stared at my feet, "Well... I was wondering... If maybe... You... Wantedtogotothedancewithme?!"

I clapped my hands over my mouth. My face turned beet red. I looked everywhere but Sasuke's befuddled face.

Then, Sasuke was laughing, "Like I would ever go to the dance with you. Or at all for that matter!"

I felt a sudden crushing weight on my shoulders.

Tears pricked my eyes. Furious, I wiped them away and stood up.

Amber was already gone by the time I went down for breakfast. I smiled so my mom wouldn't know how upset I really was.

I hurried to eat breakfast, I was going to be late at this rate. At the last minute I ran out of the house with a piece of toast in my mouth. I made it to school just as the first bell rang.

🌹Amber's POV🌹

Thursday was relatively boring. Kiba and I both managed to stay out of trouble but everyone had too much homework to hang out. Mrs. Haruno had also given me permission to spend Friday night at Hinata's.

Most of Friday wasn't much better. I already didn't want to wake up on Monday. I had decided to wear a maroon tank top under a thin black sweater.

It was last hour. I was struggling to stay awake. Suddenly, a loud bang shot through the room.

"What the fuck?!" I yelped.

Kiba laughed. He is sitting on top of his desk next to me. Akamaru was sleeping in the actual seat but jumped once I yelled.

"You're lucky the teacher isn't here," Kiba smirked down at me.

I glared back, "What was that noise?"

Kiba nodded towards the back of the class, "Naruto being a fucking dumbass like always."

I turned to see Naruto in a heap on the floor. He was under a bookshelf with several books on top of him. Hinata was blushing next to him and looking worried. Sakura was also there, rolling her eyes.

"The hell was he trying to do?" I mumbled, still half asleep.

"I guess get some book for the girls," Kiba rolled his eyes.

I laughed, "Why is Hinata blushing so much?"

Kiba's lips curled up into an evil grin, "Because Hinata has the biggest crush on Naruto. Sadly, Naruto loves another, who in turn loves another, who in turn gives no fucks about anyone."

"Sounds pleasant."

"But I have a master plan that will bring Hinata and Naruto together. Narunata forever!"

Now it was my turn to smile mischievously, "What is said plan?"

"Uh... Can't tell you yet, still ironing out the details."

"Fine," I pouted.

Just then the dismissal bell rang, signaling the end of the school day. I gathered my things, gave Kiba one last weird look, and went to get my stuff for Hinata's house. Hinata met me at my locker and we walked to her place.

"Here," I pulled a neatly wrapped lilac package out of my black bag.

Hinata blushed slightly, "What is it?"

"Well open it up and find out, silly!"

"I'll wait until we get home," Hinata tucked the present under her arm.

🐶Kiba's POV🐶

Shikamaru texted me when I got home.

Sloth: So? How did it go?

Pride: How did what go?

Sloth: -.- you know exactly what I'm talking about

Pride: Alright! So I didn't do it, whatever!

Sloth: So I win?

Pride: Not yet! I have until next Friday, right?

Sloth: *sigh* I guess
Tell me what happened.

Pride: Well I told her about Narunata but I didn't tell her I was using the same plan on her I haven't even told her about the party next week

Sloth: Well that sounds like a personal problem...

Pride: ...fuck off dude

I sighed and turned my phone off. I draped my arm over my eyes. Maybe I should go talk to Amber... It might be easier with Hinata around.

🌹Amber's POV🌹

Hinata's room was as delicate and lovely as she was. The walls were pale lavender, with plum swirls dancing near the floor and ceiling. The trim was a snowy white. The canopy bed in the corner of the room matched as well. All the cabinets and doors were a light birch wood.

Hinata hopped up on the bed with the present I gave her. She carefully undid the silver bow and lilac wrapping. The box underneath was black. Inside the box was three things.

The first thing Hinata pulled out was a silver chain with a crystal dangling off it. The crystal was a purple amethyst.

"It's so beautiful!" Hinata gasped, "It must have cost a fortune!"

"Eh, it wasn't that much," I'd stolen that necklace three years ago from a street vendor and just never bothered to wear it.

The next thing was a box of chocolates. Those I had actually bought with legitimate money.

"Ooo!" Hinata squealed happily, making me giggle.

Finally, Hinata reached into the box and pulled out an object wrapped with care in bubble wrap. Curiously, she turned it every which way.

"Open it!" I said.

"Fine, fine!" Hinata giggled.

Inside the bubble wrap was a sculpture. It was a clay lily, perfectly sculpted and painted. The petals were crafted in such a way that the lily could be used as a cup.

"I-it's beautiful!" Hinata gasped.

"I made it myself," I admitted.

Hinata looked up at me, "You're amazing! This must have taken so long!"

"Well I only had the two days," I scratched the back of my neck sheepishly.

Hinata's eyes widened, "Oh..."

Hinata stood up and set everything on an empty shelf above her desk.

"So, we have Netflix," she offered.

"Oh fuck yes!" I hopped up onto the bed.

Hinata snatched a remote off her desk and sat next to me. She set out the box of chocolates for us to share.

"What are we watching?" I asked excitedly.

"Um..." Hinata flipped through the different categories.

"Oh! That one!" I exclaimed.

"You sure?" Hinata was hesitant.

"Yes I love that movie."

"But Tim Burton movies are creepy.."

"Trust me, you will like it. And if you get scared," I teased, "I'm right here. I'll protect you from the scawy monsters."

"Hey don't be rude!" Hinata shrieked.

I laughed, "We don't have to watch it if you don't want to."

Hinata sighed, "I guess we can watch it."

"Yay!" I hugged her tightly.

Hinata and I collapsed in a fit of laughter on the bed. I hit play on the movie.

"This is Halloween, this is Halloween!" I sang along loudly.

"I take it you like this movie?"

"This movie is my life!"

We laughed again. I popped one of the chocolates into my mouth. Then there was a knock on the door.

"Come in!" Hinata called.

The door opened to reveal a red faced Kiba. He held a navy blue bag in one hand.

"This is for you, Hinata," Kiba held out the bag.

"Oh, thanks," Hinata walked over and took the bag from him.

Kiba grabbed onto Hinata's arm and pulled her close. He whispered something in her ear that made her blush and then giggle. She nodded and walked back to me.

"Kiba wants to talk to you," was all she said.

"What?" No answer.

I sighed and got off the bed with an exaggerated grunt of effort.

"Hey, what's up?" I put one hand on the door and the other on my hip.

"Uh... Not much I guess..." Kiba looked down awkwardly.

"Is there anything you wanted to talk to me about?" I glanced back at Hinata and the movie.

"No, sorry I have to go!"

Kiba tried to run but I grabbed his hood, "No, get back here and tell me.

"Well, you see, there's a dance next Friday-" Kiba started.

I held up my hand, "Let me stop you right there, I don't do dances."

Kiba's blush deepened, "I don't either, but that's not what I was going to ask."

I crossed my arms and nodded my permission to continue, "A bunch of us are having a party that night in the fort. I was wondering if you wanted to come as well?"

I shrugged, "Sure, sounds fun.'

Kiba instantly relaxed and smiled, " Great!"

"See you Monday," I smiled back.

"You too!"
