Sarada sighed for the umpteenth time.
She buried her face in her pillow as she recalled the conversation she had with the purples headed kunoichi.
•Flash Back•
"Hey Sarada, Boruto seems to be popular with the girls?"
"I dunno, he just seems to get along with everyone I guess,"
"But, why did you ask Sumire?" She asked, with a raised eyebrow.
''Well, he's a pretty cool guy you know and anyone would fall for him. He's also caring, especially towards his friends'' Sumire said blushing.
"Oh...Um,"
''Are you interested in him, Sarada?"
" Nani?" She asked, looking surprised by her question.
''Boruto-Kun, I mean"
"N...Nani? She stuttered..."What do you mean? Of course not!." She said hurriedly.
''Hmm, I see. Well, I'm interested in him," Sumire said with a pleased smile on her lips.
'What TF is up with that smile? Sarada thought to herself.'
•Flash back Ended•
"She never showed any interest in the idiot, so why now?" she said frowning.
"Why the hell am I even thinking about the idiot any way!."
She released a tired sigh, 'It's not like Sumire has a chance with him anyway.'
She snorts at the thought
"And does she think I would go around telling just anyone I liked the idiot?" She said, getting up from her desk.
"But damn those blue eyes." Her dark onyx eyes flickered over to the clock on her desk.
"I should get some training done today. Chocho should be free." walking over to her wardrobe, she pulled out a simple top and got dressed.
She then headed down their stairs, picking up her sandals by the door she slipped them on and headed out the front door, closing it shut behind her.
•Training Grounds•
"So what's up Sarada? It's rare for you to call out me out to train with you," Chocho said, giving her a suspicious look.
"Nani?... come on Chocho, you're my best friend. So why would you act like we never spend any time together?"
"It's not that we never spend any time together, but lately you've been really focused on missions and training hard every chance you get," Chocho said, munching on her chips.
"So I was surprised when you mentioned we should go sparring today. So what's up?... Spill it!"
'Shit, she's already caught on that somethings up!'
"Can't hide anything from you, can I?" She asked, with a smirk.
"Of course not. So tell me already. You've been fidgeting since you got here anyway."
She sighed, "Ok, so Team Konohamaru was assigned a mission to escort Katasuke and his new Ninja tool to Rybuben City the other day, we arrived at the research institution without any problems, but guess who we saw working there? ...Class prez!" She said, rolling her Onyx eyes."
"Who's that?"
"Like seriously Choccho?...Sumire!" She said, giving her a look that said, like seriously!
'How the fuck can you forget a person like her?.'
"Oh!, I remember now. But why was she there?" Chocho asked. "She just gave up being a Ninja all of a sudden."
"I don't know, it was her choice. But what pissed me off was her question!" Sarada said, clenching her fist.
"What question?"
"She suddenly asked me if the idiot was popular with the girls and If I was interested in him!" She said blushing.
"Really? What did you say?" Chocho asked with a grin.
"I said No, of course!" She sent a glare in her direction. "And wipe the grin off your face Chocho!"
"Then why are you getting all worked up Sa-ra-da?" Chocho asked mockingly. "You know, now that I think about it, Boruto's good looking," Chocho said.
"Well, he's not as hot as my guy though." She said with a naughty look in her eyes.
"Honestly Chocho, you're maybe the only girl who thinks Mitsuki's hot."
"But after hearing me shut down any interest in the idiot, she suddenly drops the bomb that she likes him, I mean what the hell Chocho?".
"Wow!... well after the Nue incident, can you blame the girl for falling in love with her knight and shining armour?" Chocho asked.
"You're not helping!" Sarada said.
"Ok, Sarada let me get this straight. You have no interest in him and someone else likes him, so why are you getting angry about it?" Chocho asked.
"That's not the point Chocho! She's challenging me and I won't lose," Sarada said with a look of determination.
Chocho sighed...
"When are you gonna man up and just tell him you like him?" Chocho asked.
"Have you lost your mind?" Sarada asked clicking her tongue.
"When are you going to tell Mitsuki you want a piece of that ass?" she said laughing. "Chocho everyone can see you daydreaming when you look at him."
"I hate it when your inner self comes out!" Chocho said with a frown. "But Mitsuki's denser than a rock."
'We're both idiots.'
"Let's get some training done. it's been too long since we had some time to do this together."
"So what you gonna do about Sumire?" Chocho asked, turning to look at her friend.
"I have a sickening feeling I'll be seeing her real soon. But I'll deal with her when the time comes," Sarada replied.
