Chapter 3: Buzz

“Hey, teme.”

“Dobe, why are you calling,
again?” Sasuke asked, grabbing a piece of paper on his drawer and wrote some
names of people he knew. List of guys that he knew
that would fall in the category of pretty as the blond put it.

“Don’t be like that teme.” Sasuke snorted a bit. He was
kind of not feeling a bit friendly since he was
still at lost on whom the blond was crushing on, and it was three days since
the prank call he made. All he could come up was that the supposed ‘guy’
was pretty, that would be at least a dozen people he knew that would
categorize as pretty. He wrote them down on the paper.

“Hey are you listening, teme?” A loud shrill broke
Sasuke’s musing. “As I
was saying…he was once again surrounded by his friends and fans.” Oh, yeah the
guy was also popular. Sasuke crossed out a few
silent beauties off his list but still, more than five people fit the
category. He skimmed his list again. He smiled as he sees his name. What?!
A man can dream. He also fit the category, pretty and popular.
He’s not conceited damn it!

“I heard this girl say that he slept with her.
He’s such a playboy, the bastard. Then again he was
really cool so it’s not his fault that girls like him.” Sasuke snorted while
Naruto continues ranting about his crush. So, the
guy is a playboy and apparently straight. He snorted at that as he crosses his
name on the list. Straight he could pass, since the dobe
or the rest of the world did not know that he was crushing on the
blond; but sleeping with girls…nah uh.

“Then he…” Sasuke made a snorting sound so he may sound
as if he was listening. He then proceeds on crossing
Gaara’s name since the guy was asexual like
him; that is until he saw the blond of his life. Che!
That was cheesy. He glanced back again on his list. Four names were blaring at
him: Itachi, Neji, Sai
and Haku.

“Damn” Sasuke cursed silently as he re-read the names.
“Yes, I know he was such a bastard. He just walked pass me without even
apologizing.” Sasuke made a questioning glance at his phone and wonders
what the hell the blond was talking about. He read
again the names and weighed the option of killing them one by one or
assassinating them in one blow. The former was more
appealing but would take too much time. He sighed at that.

“TEMEEEEEEEE!!!” Naruto yelled
at the speaker to get the other party’s attention. Sasuke on the other side
felt his eardrums just got blasted. “What the hell
dobe?”

“You were not listening!”

“Well it didn’t stop you from calling.” A snort came
after. “Well…that’s because I have no one else to talk to.”

“Then why don’t you talk to your friends or something.
That Shi…whatever his name is.”

Naruto slump his shoulder and played with some random
object on his table. “But…he doesn’t listen to me.”

“…and I do?”

“Well yes, sort of. You do
make comments, nasty comments though…” A frown marred the
blond’s face. Sasuke on the other hand
snorted loudly. “…You really are a masochist.”

“Well I do like a fucking bastard.”

“My point exactly.”

“Well anyway I was asking you a question.” The
blond pouted and stares off the window. “I asked
you if you have many friends in your school…”

Sasuke grunted and exhaled loudly as he tried to remember
the friends he had. “I don’t have friends, well except for this one guy who’s
always following me so we kinda stick together and
that is. So yeah I might call him my friend.” The raven grimaced as he
remembered how Sai following him everywhere and
trying to make conversations with him. In the end, he deemed that
Sai has no interior motive except that he sure
looks good with Sasuke being his friend. The vain bastard.
Still Sai was okay of a guy.
He even searched the blond’s
number and gave it to him.

“That’s so sad teme. You should make friends.” A shiver
runs down Sasuke’s spine at the thought of even
befriending his fans. Those girls were dangerous. They’re
perverts. “So you don’t have girlfriends or some sort?”

“I like a guy.” Naruto almost fell out of his chair when
he heard the other’s answer. Well he was not really expecting that. He
clutched the phone tightly as he felt his heart racing a bit. “Wha…what
did you say?”

“Dobe.”
Sasuke berated himself at that slip of the tongue. He was an idiot. “So…that’s
why you weren’t shock that I was fantasizing another guy…” Naruto chuckled a
bit.

“Dobe.”

“Say teme…what is he like?”

“…”

“Come on. I tell you about my crush, and don’t snort at
that.” Sasuke smirked. Since he was already stupid enough to slip, why not go
all the way. The crazy part of him would have a field day. “He’s funny
bordering to idiocy.”

Naruto felt a little twitch in his heart. He was somewhat
hurt or maybe even jealous that the ‘teme’ was crushing on someone although he
does not even know why he was feeling that way. “He was popular too.  He has
many friends.” Naruto sighed at that. He sorta
envies the guy, whoever he, is because the blond
wasn’t popular, actually many hates him…he was a loser. Most of his friends
are losers too. Still he would not trade them from anything else. They were
good friends, like a family to him.  

Loser…him and the ‘Uchiha’
are miles apart. He was on the bottom of the ladder and Sasuke was on the top.
The only interaction they have is when they pass each other on the corridor or
on the field. Sasuke, who obviously don’t like him,
glared at him like hell and would make it to the point of avoiding him. The
most annoying part is that it was so obvious that the raven was avoiding him,
turning around on the last minute when he spotted the
blond, or even going the other way just to elude him.

“He’s really cute.” Naruto frowned at that. He wished
someone would say that to him. That thought made him snort a bit. Whom was he
kidding? He was not cute. He was ugly. Sakura would even go out of her way to
say it to him everyday. Unlike every guy he knew,
he still have baby fats and unruly hair that won’t go the way he wants it. He
was shorter than most guys his age although by only
a few centimeter. He has this scar on his face that made him look like a
cat…or a fox. He was soooo ugly and he hated
himself for that.

“DOBE!!!” The
blond’s reverie was
suddenly broken and he blushed at being caught zoning out.

“Che!
Dobe talk to you later my brothers here.”

“Okay bye.” Naruto gingerly put down the phone and his
mind drifted off somewhere.
