She said she was ok. But was she really?
Who knows what she was feeling on the inside. When he left her.
Sure, she had friends who loved her.
But not in the same way she wanted them to.

"Sakura-chan!"
It was Naruto. One of her best friends.
"Do you want to eat ramen with me?"
"No thank you, I'm not hungry"
"Aw. Sakura-chan, you weren't like this when Teme was here. It's not like Teme is dead or anything, he's just going to study in America. For some time…"
Sakura shot Naruto a glare.
"No thank you"
With that, Sakura walked away.
I don't want to hear about him ever again. Ouch. Maybe you do…
Sure, I won't forget him, but I hate it when people talk about him.

"Forehead girl, Some new people from a neighbouring village are going to study here, I head that they were invited to study here in Sasuke's place… but only the youngest one of the siblings… Are you excited to meet them?"
"No. I don't want to know"
"But Sakura… He's not going to come back for sometime… I think it is…"
Sakura cut Ino off.
"This has nothing to do with him. He left for his own good, I don't care. He can die for all I care" Sakura snapped at Ino.
The truth was that Sakura actually cared about him… Uchiha Sasuke… deep inside of her. She hated it but she knew she could never forget him.
"Well, you could at least meet these exchange students"
With that Ino walked off to find other people to gossip with. Sakura just stared in the distance at the Cherry Blossom tree outside the window. The cherry blossoms were in full bloom. Now why was she named after a cherry blossom again?
X
"S-sakura-san"
It was Hinata, one of Sakura's close friends. The only person Sakura felt she would be able to talk to without snapping at. Hinata didn't talk much about everybody's personal life or any gossip and such. She only liked to talk about random stuff such as ice cream flavours and her own life.
"Hello Hina-chan" Sakura said as she tried to smile for Hinata's sake, but failed miserably. It looked fake. Real fake.
"D-don't w-worry Sakura-san, By the way, A-are y-you sure t-that you do not w-want to m-meet the n-new students?"
"Yes, I'm sure. After all, they came from Suna right? All Suna people are snobby. It's a fact"
"Sakura-san, Don't be so stereotypical. T-they a-are actually pretty nice p-people. I've met them already"
"Hn. You have won this conversation, but don't expect me to be real nice to them. I hate new people"
"H-hai"

"Gaara-san, This is Sakura-chan"
Naruto was introducing the new students from Suna to Sakura.
"Hello Sakura-san"
"Hn"
"Ah. Sorry about Sakura… She's…"
Sakura cut Naruto off.
"Hi… Gaara?"
With that, Sakura walked off.
What's up with her?
Who knows? Nobody.
Maybe it has to do with Uchiha… Sasuke.
"Gaara-san, You came from Suna right?"
"Yes. I. Did"
Gaara was a stoic type of person. Not someone you want to mess with. When you first meet him, you'd probably get scared but apparently Naruto wasn't scared with Gaara. Naruto wanted Gaara to be his friend.
"Ah. Nice place, Will you be my friend?"
Gaara looked at Naruto as if Naruto just asked if he wanted to go out with him.
"…"
"Sorry if that was sudden. I do hope we eventually become friends, cause then we could go eat ramen together. I've been lonely since Teme left… So you will be my friend, Even if Teme comes back. Promise?"
Naruto gave Gaara a warm smile and his pinkie.
Gaara put his pinkie out as well, without a smile, that's the person Gaara was.
Naruto and Gaara had an unspoken connection. They both knew it. Nobody else, but people will have to find out… eventually.

"Nee-san, Have you met the new people at our school?"
Neji was the only person Hinata didn't stutter around. Hinata was used to being around him from time to time. After all, they were cousins.
"Yes, They are ok… really"
"Ah. It's good that you find them ok. Sakura-san is pretty mad at the new people. I think that they came only to replace Sasuke"
Neji's fist tightened. I wonder why he did that…
"Uchiha yeah? Well, I don't think that's the case. I think I'll set her straight… somehow"
"Nee…"
Neji left Hinata and fled to his room.
"…san"

"Forehead girl, The new guys from Suna; Gaara, whom you have met, Kankuro, Gaara's hot brother and Temari, their older sister is going to our school today. Officially. Gaara apparently…"
Sakura cut her off.
"Why are you telling me this?" Sakura snapped at Ino, once again.
"Because I thought you might want to know…"
"Well, I don't ok? I thought you would've learnt that by now since we've been 'friends' since… well, long"
Sakura said the "friends" bit sarcastically. This didn't go unnoticed by Ino.
"Well if you didn't want to be friends, maybe you can find a new best friend"
With that, Ino fled off.
It seemed that everyone was leaving Sakura behind. Sakura and her useless emotions.

In class, it was no better. Everyone was ignoring Sakura, whom was sitting in her seat in the middle of the classroom with her pink notebook.
She wrote everything there. Everything that you could think off, and even stuff you would have never thought of.
As nobody gave a crap about her, she could let it out with ease.
Only Sasuke knew about this notebook, he was her friend. A really close friend. She never blocked anything out from Sasuke. He never blocked anything out from her. But then he left, as he was mysterious… nobody knew when he was coming back. That was why Sakura had blocked the rest of the world from her.
TIME: 9:00 AM
DAY: Tuesday
Everyone is talking about them again. I wonder why they are so special in the first place. But as I have blocked everyone from me, everyone has been leaving me alone. They have blocked me as well, nobody will open up to me ever again… until Sasuke comes back. I actually thought that Gaara was pretty cute. But if I opened up to him, ever… I would lose him too like I lost Sasuke. I don't know why I keep snapping at Ino. She just makes me mad. Maybe her perky voice and pretty face makes me annoyed. I hate school. Two more years to go.

"Karin-sempai, I guess nobody stuffs Sakura-san with sweets anymore. Maybe its time to make our move on her. You know?"
"Yes Ami, payback for what she did. Becoming friends with Prince Sasuke? Despicable. We will make our move, soon"
"Yes, Karin-sempai. I will start making our plans. Our whole club will. It's payback Haruno" Tayuya said.

A/N: Meh. Very rushed, but I did my best other than that –shrugs- I'll try harder. Constructive Criticism is much appreciated.
