Hey everyone! So, I really enjoyed writing my very first fanfiction, and I've really into writing lately. I've always wanted to write fanfiction forever, but never had the chance, because I was always way too busy, but now I'm making time to carry out some of my writing. So, here is another fanfiction, this one is something that I would actually like to make into a story, but for now, I'm happy to have this as a fanfiction. This is a Sasu x Saku fanfic, I know that my other fanfic was Ita x Saku, but to tell you the truth, I'm kinda in love with both pairings (their both a tie in my book) so a lot of anymore fanfictions will either be Sasu x Saku or Ita x Saku. I do hope that all of you enjoy my new fanfiction!

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, if I did...my life would literally be complete. I do own this story line though!

Prologue

"That's the one sixth one that you rejected you know," the feminine voice of a teenager said to the other teenage girl next to her. The girl did not respond to her best friend's statement, rather she kept walking away from the boy that she had just rejected. Her face hide behind her long hair and it faced downward. She walked past all of the stores and walked back straight to her car with her best friend following right behind her. "Are you listening to me?" angrily spoke her best friend. She walked to the girl's car and grabbed the keys before she could escape from the reality of what was happening. "Hey! Are you really going to run away? Huh? Answer me! Sakura!"

The girl named Sakura finally looked up at her best friend. Sakura had glossy, cotton candy pink hair. It was in a simple braid that went over her left shoulder, nothing too broad, but very plain. Her eyes shined as bright as emeralds, for the green color was so expressive upon her face, it gave away the heart on her sleeve. Her nose was not too large, nor too small; her lips not many would be able to tell were small, but pouty. Her complexion was neither so tan, nor so pale, it was a healthy color. The physique of her body was very small, no taller than five feet, slim, and no fat. This girl, Sakura Haruno, had nothing extraordinary about herself other than her unique facial features. She was a plain individual, nothing that would stand out in a crowd.

Sakura looked at her best friend that patiently waited for her to respond to her previous yelling. Her best friend, Ino Yamanaka, sternly looked at Sakura straight in the eye. Ino's blue eyes penetrated through the shy walls that Sakura put up around herself. Finally, Sakura let out a deep sigh and spoke in a soft voice, "Ino, please. Can we…talk about it in the car…please?"

Ino kept staring straight at Sakura, until she released her own sigh and handed Sakura back her keys. Once the keys were in Sakura's rightful possession, both of the girls stepped back into the four-door 2007 Jeep, and drove back to Ino's home. They sat in silence for about ten seconds until Ino grew so frustrated with what had just happened, she shrieked in frustration.

"I don't get you! I mean, you say you would love to have a boyfriend, and whenever a guy finally works up the courage to ask you out on your FIRST date, you turn them down!" growled Ino.

Sakura kept driving in silence, and let Ino rant for a bit before she could give her input. "I mean, sure, he's definitely not the ideal boyfriend, but I mean he really likes you! He goes to all of the effort to surprise you, do romantic things for you, and everything else in the world to make you happy, and when he finally comes out with the truth of that he likes you, you reject him! I just don't get you! Argh! Do you know how mad you make me? I mean, if I was in your position every year, then I would jump at the chance to have a guy as sweet and romantic as every guy that has ever confessed to you. I mean really, just take a chance on someone why don't you? You have never had an 'official' boyfriend, been on your first date, hell you haven't even had your first kiss yet! I mean come on! This is so not healthy for a grown seventeen year old. You should be out partying it up, flirting wherever and whenever, going on dates, and so many other teenage things. Instead, all you do is homework, study, dance, and work. Argh! Why can't you just try?"

Ino looked like she wanted to say so much more, but ended her rant and continued to screech in frustration at her best friend. Sakura never once looked at Ino; her eyes kept on the road. But, deep down inside, Sakura knew that her friend was right, maybe not about the partying or the constant flirting, but about her trying.

The two of them continued to sit in silence on the car ride back to Ino's home. Soon enough, Ino's two-story home appeared just around the corner. Sakura parked in front of Ino's house, and turned off her car. Neither of the two friends moved. They sat in silence, until a small whimpering could be heard coming from the driver's side. Sakura's body shook in small shudders as she let loose all of the tears she had been holding back since the confession from the boy at the mall. She curled her body up onto the driver's seat and cried away the stress of the rejection she just gave him. Ino sat in the passenger seat looking at her friend sympathetically. Ino cared for Sakura, really she did. She just wants Sakura to find a guy that can treat her the way she deserves to be treated. Sakura was just too kind-hearted and fragile to be handed over to anyone; Ino knew that, hell, everyone knew that.

Soon enough, Sakura's tears came to an end, and only small hiccups and few tears leaked from her eyes. "Why can't you just try to love the guys that confess to you?" asked Ino. "There's no harm in that…is there?"

"How…how can I just…try to fall in love with some guy?" questioned Sakura. Ino grew quiet after hearing those words from Sakura.

"I can't just…fall in love with someone right after they confess to me. It just doesn't work like that. "

"How do you know?" asked Ino. "You've never in your life tried love at all. Sure, you have crushes on guys, and you've dated one guy, ONE GUY! A guy who totally and completely broke you, and don't say he didn't because I know he did, I was there, remember?"

Sakura stayed quiet. Ino looked at Sakura long and hard. "You're not still waiting are you?" questioned Ino in disbelief.

Ino's question made Sakura turn away in embarrassment and shame, but that action told Ino everything she needed to know. "Sakura, it's your Senior year, our last school year together with all of our friends and classmates together. No offense Sakura, but I don't think it'll happen."

"You're right" replied Sakura. "It most likely will never happen, but I can still dream, can't I?"

Ino stared at Sakura's weak smile upon her face. "Yeah, you can dream alright, but don't let this "dream" of yours hold you back! Come on girl, it's our last year together, and if he's not gonna make the first move now, then you better do something about it." Ino told Sakura firmly.

As her best friend, Ino knew Sakura was shy, especially when it came to the boys that she liked, but she knew that she was going to get Sakura a chance with this guy that she has been crushing on for well….forever! "Alright Sakura, this is your last chance. So you better do something about him or find someone else, okay? Because I am not going to spend our Senior year letting you pine after him, got it?" Ino was going to get Sakura's dream guy to notice her one way or another, and if it meant drastic measures, then so be it. Sakura was going to somehow, some way going to live out her dream, so Sasuke Uchiha…you better be looking.
