Sighing I ran a hand through my shoulder length pink hair. My green eyes met the onyx ones belonging to my handsome boyfriend and clashed in a heated battle. Fiery desperation fought ice cold annoyance and after what seemed like forever- but was probably just a few seconds- I was forced to look away.

"Sasuke-kun, why can't you just participate with us? We need one more person to our team." I hissed in a begging tone. I would have screamed right out in frustration already had we not been in public.

"I already said I'd be part of my friends team."

Annoyance was practically dripping off his tone and seeped into his black emotionless eyes, along with the exasperation that comes with having to explain something over five times to the same person. When he treated me like this- which happened a lot more than I was willing to admit- I couldn't help but doubt if he really cared about me. I was his girlfriend, yet he acted like it didn't matter in the least.

Did he really love me? I quickly pushed that thought to the back of my head, where it blended into my unnecessary memories and other uncomfortable thoughts. It was too painful to think about, and it didn't help that evidence for such a thing being true existed.

"But I'm your girlfriend!"

"So? I'm your boyfriend not your pet. I'm not going to follow you around everywhere and listen to every stupid little request of yours. Get Naruto to join you or something."

The bus comes to a halt and he makes a move to get up and leave but I grasp his hand.

"What are you doing? The school is two stops away."

He just swats my hand away and makes a 'tch' sound.

"I'm walking the rest of the way. Don't follow me."

He steps out of the bus and as the doors slowly close I can feel my heartbeat quicken. Sure we've had a fight or two, but never has one of us just gotten up and left before. My body and mind feels numb, is this it then? Are we just gonna ignore the cracks in our relationship until it breaks, is that what he wants?

~~~~~~

We meet up before school like we planned, but the atmosphere is gloomier than what I'm comfortable with and Sakura-chan didn't bring Sasuke-san. I suddenly regret bringing Neji-niisan, what if we aren't going through with it, then I don't know what kind of reason I am supposed to present to him for bringing him here.

"Sasuke-kun... couldn't participate, sorry guys."

Sakura laughs, but it sounds incredibly forced and her face scrunches up as if it physically pains her to smile. Going by Ino's expression she has noticed too.

"So we aren't going to do it?" Ino sounds so disappointed that not even I, who thinks the whole idea is stupid, can help but look down saddened.

"No way, of course we're participating! I'm gonna show Sasuke-kun what a mistake he made!"

Sakura's sudden rise of voice startled us all and we jumped a little.

"We can ask Naruto to join us all we'll have a team." She continued.

"N...Naruto-k-kun?"

That was me. Yes, I have the biggest crush on Naruto Uzumaki, the adorable idiot of Konoha high. Really, I love to think that there is actually something between us but alas, we've never talked to each other. i can't help it, every time I see him I get really flustered and temporarily forget how to talk. Naturally- seeing as we've been friends dating back to preschool- both Ino and Sakura knew this. Therefore we wasted quite a bit of our precious time before classes started by teasing me. Apparently my scarlet blushing face was 'cute'.

Thankfully that came to an end as soon as Ino took one look at the clock and we all ran down the hallways in search for my beloved blonde, ignoring the commotion caused by the creepy biology teacher, Orochimaru-sensei's papers flying everywhere when a visibly annoyed Neji crashed into him.

When we finally found him, it was four panting, red faced and out of breath people that nearly flew around the corner, interrupting his chat with Kiba and scaring them both pretty badly. Not that I'd blame them, Neji-niisan's tired, angry and confused scowl at being pulled along in a wild goosechase for a boy he didn't particularly know for seemingly no reason would have been terrifying had I not been used to it already.

Under the pressure of two terrifying women and one scary, pissed off senior Kiba quickly got his backpack and got the hell out of there with a 'sorry man' look in Naruto's way.

"S-Sakura-chan, my best friend. W-what do you want buddy?"

Naruto, the usually confident and cheerful boy, reduced to a stuttering mess under the crazed look of Sakura. So when she introduced her 'bright' idea, and asked him nicely- a little too nicely- in a sweet voice- a little too sweet- to join our team he really couldn't refuse.

"Great! If we register now our first dare should be sent to us in a few hours."

And it did, indeed. Four hours later, in the locker room efter PE my, Ino and Sakura's phones lit up with a message from Nerve.

New dare: get to the auditorium in 5:00

"Seriously? What kinda boring dare is that?"

Ino finished drying her drying her hair and put in in a high ponytail, her hand resting on her hip just above the line of her underwear and turned towards where her clothes was lying.

Where lying.

"Where the hell...?" Ino trailed off and started looking all over the room for them, and soon me and Sakura joined her.

"They're gone..."

"There is no way I'm going out in public like this." Sakura declared, but glanced down nervously at her phone, the timer ticking. Every second we stood there the dream of victory was fading further and further.

"Should we just give up?" I really wished they'd agree, but that wasn't who they were and we all knew the answer.

"Are you seriously suggesting that Hinata-chan? Never! You go see if the hallway is empty."

"What do you mean?"

Sakura-chan grabbed ahold of my shoulders and pushed me out of the locker room. I gave an undignified squeak- not that I was usually very dignified- and made a move to cover myself. Fortunately as I looked around I saw no one. Then there was a voice behind me.

"Hinata-chan, you got that dare too?"
