--Naruto POV--continue flashback--

“Why did Sasuke-kun yell at us?” Sakura asked on the verge of tears.

“He’s probably just jealous or something. I don’t care. Unless he tells Hinata…” I said. Sakura sat up and started looking hopeful.

“You think Sasuke-kun is jealous?” Sakura asked. Even though she just had sex with me, obviously Sasuke is still #1 on her list.

“Why do you care? Don’t you love me, Sakura?” I angrily asked. Sakura hesitated for a moment.

“Of course I do. Naruto, I was…just curious.” Sakura lied.

Quite a few things are going through my mind. I started to slightly doubt Sakura. I think Sakura still want Sasuke. I know she lied when she agreed about loving me. I know this because she gave me a smile. The smile wasn’t genuine. Not the smile she gives Sasuke. Nor the smile she sometimes give me. The smile was very phony. It looked artificial. I pushed all my thoughts about doubting Sakura out my mind. I, Naruto Uzumaki, is just having second thoughts. I always have second thoughts. Well…when it comes to ramen. Never had second thoughts are my true goal in life. And that is one hard goal. But I believe I can do anything. Like make Sakura stop loving Sasuke.

“What’s wrong, Naruto?” Sakura asked. I shivered. The smile looks so unreal. Defiantly not like Hinata smiles. Her smiles are so innocent and kind. I feel a little guilty for cheating on Hinata. Maybe she won’t find out. I just remember. Iruka-sensei told me something important once. I forgot. Instead I keep imagining a huge bowl with Sakura and ramen in it.

“Naruto. Naruto. Naruto!? Did you hear what I said?” Sakura asked.

“Huh…wait did you say?” I asked.

“Uh! Never mind. I have to go. I’m going to visit Ino. Bye Naruto.” Sakura said. She started putting on her clothes in a hurry. I thought she wasn’t even friends with Ino anymore.

“You and Ino are friends again.” I stated. I’m waiting to see if she’ll correct me.

“Huh. Yeah. Of course.” Sakura said while fiddling with her skirt. Sakura glanced at a mirror, gave me that phony smile, and left. Damn. I have nothing to do now. I guess I can get some ramen. I slowly brushed my teeth. Then I got dressed. I walked to Ichiraku.

“Hi old man!” I yelled. The owner gave me a smile.

“So what can I get my favorite customer to eat?” He asked.

“I guess I want some miso ramen. I want 3 bowls today. Thank you.” I said. Usually I eat like 6 bowls, if I have the money. For some reason, I’m not so hungry.

“Right on it.” He said. I started to tap my foot. I waited 5 minutes for Teuchi, the owner, to cook my ramen. As soon as I got my ramen, I started inhaling the smell. Mm. Ramen smells and tastes so good. I started eating, in a hurry. I don't know why, but ramen tastes better when you rush it down your throat. Well thats what I think. After I finished my ramen, I said farewell to Teuchi and his daughter, Ayame. Hm. I haven't seen Hinata today. I wonder what happened to her. Since I have nothing else to do, I'll visit her. I ran to the Hyuga neighborhood. I knocked on the Main House's door.

“Hi! Oh. Its you. What do YOU want, Naruto?” Hanabi said. She doesn't like me that much. She says Konohumaru is so great. Hanabi even likes Sasuke. But not me.

“Well hello to you,too. Where's Hinata?” I asked. Hanabi stuck out her tongue.

“She isn't here.” Hanabi said.

“Ok. Where is she,then?” I asked.

“How would I know? Goodbye Naruto.” Hanabi said and shut the door in my face. Ok. I wonder where she is. I started walking towards the Hokage tower. Maybe there is a mission I can do. I'm so bored. I wouldn't even mind talking to Sasuke right now. I was on my way to visit Tsunade when I heard a “Na-ru-to!” I turned around to see Ino.

“Hi Ino. Whats wrong?” I asked. She walked up to me and pushed me.

“How could you do IT with that pink slut named Sakura Haruno?!” Ino blurted out fairly loud. Civilians turned their heads to stare at us. I shrugged my shoulders.

“How do you know I did that?” I whispered. This could get to Hinata.

“Well how the hell do you think I know? From the pink bitch herself.” Ino said, clearly pissed off.

“You know I love Sakura.” I whispered while looking around.

“Shut up. You are such a retard. Don't you know that she still loves him?” Ino asked. I shook my head.

“Ino. Sakura loves me.” I said with a slight doubt in my voice. Ino stared at me with such intensity that I started sweating.

“What? Are going to tell her?” I asked. By her, I referring to Hinata. Ino gave me glare.

“You dirty dirty dog. Right now, Akamaru is looking way cleaner than you.” Ino stated while giving me glares.

“Are you going to tell her?” I asked again.

“No. But just to tell you. I will be watching you and that pink bitch's moves. I have something over your head. Hinata would be very depressed with the news I have. Plus Neji and Hanabi wouldn't be very pleased with you. If this comes out, you and Sakura are going to be dead. Every ninja in Konoha would be angry with you. Rock Lee would be on Sakura's side. Maybe.” Ino explained. I gave her a nervous grin.

“Hehehe. Thanks for the info. Uh bye!” I jetted off to my apartment. Ino was giving me death glares.
--end flashback--

A memory I don't want to remember. I looked up at the sky. My mother told me I would find true love one day. I always thought my true love was Naruto. I was wrong. I don't know who my true love is. I doubt its Kiba or Shino. They are my teammates and are like brothers to me. I would never mess up our friendship. Plus I don't like either of them like that. Shikamaru is a no. He's cute, lazy, and intelligent. I think Shikamaru already found his true love. I believe that person is Temari. I know she likes him. And I see the way he looks at her.

Kakashi is a pervert. Anyway he is like 13 years older than me. I do wish that I could see his face without the mask. I bet he looks so handsome. Naruto once said that he thinks Kakashi has buck teeth or something like that. I don't believe that. Chouji likes food. He eats a lot. We never talked. So all I know is that food pleases him. Some say he and Ino have something special.

Sasuke is so wonderful. Even my sister, Hanabi, thinks so. She told me that Sasuke is so hot. Its not just about the looks. Its about the personality and soul. If you first met Sasuke and Neji, you would think they are cocky and stuck up. You would think they are know it alls, mean, and cold. But that isn't the truth. If you look deeper, you can see their true personalities. Sasuke and Neji are kind of similar. For people like them, you can't just start gushing over them. Thats a bad thing to do. It would piss them off. All three of us are very antisocial. I'm antisocial because I'm too shy.

To me, Sasuke is a kind person. For some reason, I'm the only one that gets to experience his kinder side. Sometimes I can even tell what he is thinking. Sasuke has a huge ego. When it gets bruised, you don't want to be around. His mood goes from content to royally pissed off. But that is the same thing for Neji ,too. I wouldn't say this to his face ,but I have to agree with Hanabi. Sasuke is hot. Even if I'm a little attracted to Sasuke, I would never had cheated on Naruto like he did to me. I have too much dignity and class for that.
