Cliché? Maybe, yeah, a total cliché. I don't know why I'm writing it. Maybe because, I want the story to be just like that. I've always wanted to have something, like this in my life… Nah, not gonna happen. But why don't I just imagine that it could become true?

A story, based on true experiences (the story about the rejection.), at the beginning, while the end… A foolish girl's dream, transformed in Naruto mode.

I hope you enjoy. Because I know I will.


Fifteen


Art. Her favorite subject. Of course, she would draw all her dreams, just on a piece of paper. "Tell him, Sakura!" The little girl known as Tenten, pushed her playfully in the ribs. The pink haired blossom blushed. "No way! I won't tell him." She said, a bit too loud. "You won't tell who what?" The raven haired boy, leaned over them, since his desk was just behind them. "That she likes you!" 10 year old Tenten said, with a grin. The little raven, known as Sasuke, blinked a few times, and looked at the furious blushing Sakura. "No, she doesn't." He said, and looked back at Tenten. "She does!" Tenten said, impatiently.

But then, the bell rang. "Alright class, see you tomorrow. Don't forget, I'm giving you a quick quiz in English." The teacher smiled, as he waved to the 4-th graders.

Sasuke kneeled down to zip his bag, when his best friend looked at him. "I really like you, Sasuke-kun." She stuttered, blushing madly.

He just stared at her.

Sakura felt uncomfortable from this silence, and looked down, at the thought of rejection. She knew that he would do it. Sasuke Uchiha rejected Karin and Ino so many times.

"Sakura likes me." Sasuke said to Naruto and Neji. "What?" Naruto asked widening his eyes.

Sakura felt her tears coming, while she was exiting the room. "I knew it." She thought, while she was walking towards home.


"I knew it…" Sakura mumbled, and opened her eyes full of tears. She looked around. The sunshine was caressing her body. "It was just a dream." She whispered, and smiled sadly. He was gone. Sasuke was gone. Away from her, and everyone else. All the way in Suna. Getting a "proper education", as his mother would call it. Bullshit.

Ever since she told him, they distanced away from each other. Not that, she really wanted them to be friends, of course she did. She stopped being a nerd, got a full make over, even started to listen to exactly what he did. But no, he would still throw her away, like garbage, and it killed her.

Now, he's gone. And she missed him. Why, oh why, did that boy had such control on her? God, she hated it.

She was now 15. She hadn't seen him, in what, a year? Yeah, a year. When he came back from Suna, for a day, to see his classmates again, he ignored her completely. She got mad at him. She straightened her hair for him! When she got home that day, she cried again. It was becoming a habit of hers. To cry for him.

On Konoha's national day, he came back again. But this time she wasn't buying it.

"What's wrong with you? You haven't said even one "Hello"." Sasuke said, still holding her wrist. "Shut up! You don't even care! I hate you! Don't ever talk to me. Go to Karin! I'm sure, she will say, or do much more!" Her tears ran to her cheeks, and Sasuke watched her with widen eyes. "Sakura, what did I do?" He glared at her. She shook her head. "Yes, Sasuke, What have you done? This is it. You haven't done anything. I'm tired of thinking we could be friends. I'm sick of it! Let me go, damn it!" She cried, and ran away, as soon as she set free her hand.


Her phone rang, causing her, to remember herself from those memories. She glanced at the display. "Naruto." She whispered, and smiled softly. This sweetheart had never left her side.

"Yeah?" She yawned, looking around for some clothes. "Sakura-chaaan!" Naruto's loud voice filled the speakers. Good think, she wasn't on handsfree or anything. It would've caused her deafness. She chuckled at the phone, that was laying on the bed. "What's up, Fox-boy? Happy summer vacation." She chuckled, when he heard him laugh. "I prefer Ramen King, but fox-boy, I guess it's ok! But only for you, though." He chuckled, and she smiled. "Anyway. Party a my house. Our parents want to go on a holiday, for a week, and said that I have to take care of ya."

Sakura blinked in surprise. "They didn't said anything about it." She said and sat on the bed, next to the telephone. "Well, you were sleeping like a dead corpse. They are on the road now, though." They laughed. "Ok, Naruto, I'll come, but first I'm on a date with Itachi." She said, and looked towards the window. "Itachi? WTF?" He yelled. "Calm down, dude, he needs my help for a gift for Konan. He just calls it a date, because he wants to be more interesting." Sakura giggled. Naruto sighted. "Okay… awkward." He laughed. "Anyway, 9 pm sharp. Be there, or I'm telling Kakashi!" Naruto said and hung up.

Sakura laughed. He was trying to scare her, with her father. Yeah… nice try.


After the "Date" with Itachi, that led to a total disaster… Imagine Itachi looking at a bra for half an hour at the mall, and his mother being in the same shop… Sakura had to convince Mikoto that her son wasn't gay. Itachi wasn't helping much, he was staring at them, awkwardly.

It was stressful.

Sakura sighted in relief, as she knocked on her best friend's door. What she didn't expect, was that a certain Uchiha opened the door. Sasuke Uchiha, to be exact.

She stared. "Sasuke…You are back?" She asked, not knowing on what world she is. "Yeah, I'm done with Suna." He said, and looked at her.

They just stayed there, not saying a world. Staring.

"I will be going." She looked down. "Sakura, wait… I'm sor…" She cut him off. "You what, Sasuke? You are sorry? You don't even know for what!" He looked in her eyes. She shook her head, and turned around ready to leave, but his voice stopped her. "Give me one chance. Just one. You won't regret it." She looked at him, frowning. "And why do you want it so badly?" She asked, as if she was ready to beat him up.

His gaze never left her eyes. "Because I…" He started, but they were interrupted. "Sakura! Finally! I thought you'd never come!" Naruto laughed, as he walked to her, and hugged her. He looked at Sasuke. "Did you make up?" He smiled, eyes full of hope.

Sasuke blinked a few times, not knowing what to say. "Yes, Naruto… we did." Sakura said, not even looking towards them. "AWESOME! Awesome! Hey Hinata-chan! The Teme and Sakura…." Naruto laughed, as he walked to his girlfriend.

Sakura was still standing there, in front of the door, where Sasuke was. She was looking to the ground, not wanting to see him. Finally she decided to break the silence. "Move?" She glared at his T-shirt. Childish move. He moved, so she could enter her best friend's home. "I'm doing this for Naruto. Because, he was with me always, and this is the least I could do." She said, and walked in the living room, leaving a stunned Sasuke behind.

"Sakuraa!" Ino smiled, and hugged her best friend. "Hot raven haired, to the left!" She whispered, giggling, in Sakura's ear. "I don't care, Ino." Sakura chuckled.

Once they settled down, they started having random talks, about the summer, what should they do, where should they go.

"So, Sak… How was the "Date" with Itachi?" Naruto laughed. "It was awful… and it wasn't a date!" She laughed. "And now…Mikoto thinks he's gay." She chuckled. She looked at Sasuke, founding him, staring at her. She quickly looked away, and he smirked.


After several hours, Naruto asked Sasuke, if they could go to the kitchen.

"What is it dobe?" Sasuke looked at his best friend, founding his grin a little scary. "When?" Naruto asked. "What?" Sasuke blinked, in confusion. "When are you going to tell her?" Naruto chuckled. "None of your business." He said, and looked around. "Aw, come on, Teme! You like her since we've known each other! And now look at her! She hates your guts! And yes, I've noticed. She can't hide anything from me." He said, and caressed his sun kissed hair. "I don't even know why, you rejected her, in fourth grade." He mumbled. "Because, we were little." He said, and avoided Naruto's questioning look. "I wanted a real relationship…" Sasuke muttered, hoping Naruto wouldn't hear him. Bad luck. "Aw, you are so cute!" Naruto laughed, and grabbed his cheeks, squeezing them. "Sh-tl-op l-it1" Sasuke mumbled, trying to get rid of Naruto's cheeks.

When he finally got free, from his grip, he smiled. Sasuke Uchiha smiled.

"Sakura loved to torture me like this, before." He said, and chuckled.

Naruto looked at him, and grinned. "Yeah, it was fun... and painful." He laughed.

"Yeah…" Sasuke said, and looked down, smiling to himself. He missed the old Sakura.
