Let's Be Friends!

Author's Note: Hey Guys! Here's Chapter 1! Hope you guys like it and please review!

Ino's Pov:

It's feels awkward just looking at Sasuke from across the table. I broke up with him 5 months ago and I should get use to being around with him already, but whenever we tried talking; I don't know what to say. It feels like I'm meeting him for the first time every day. I just wish if this 'awkwardness,' we have is over.

"Heeellloooo, Ino." Sakura said while waving her hands in front of her face. Ino shook her head and looked at Sakura. "Are you even listening?" She asked.

"Of course I am." Ino said while having a bite of pudding.

"Okay then, what did I just told you 5 seconds ago?" Sakura asked trying to prove that she wasn't listening.

"Umm… something about…." Ino froze because she didn't know what to say.

"Exactly." Sakura said.

Ino chuckled, "Sorry, Sakura. I was just thinking."

Kiba butt in on the conversation and he said, "I bet Ino was thinking about how to get Sasuke back." Kiba joked. Sasuke choked and looked away. Ino smiled and smacked his head. She turned to Sakura and continued their conversation. Kiba rubbed his head that was just smacked by Ino and he looked at Sasuke. He remembered how he was always with Ino. He was always happy with her. "Oi Sasuke, I never knew how you and Ino broke up."

"Hn, me either." Sasuke replied back.

Kiba had a confusing look, "What?"

He stood up. "Never mind." He walked away. Sasuke heard him saying 'Hey, where are you going,' but he just ignored him. He saw his fan girls staring at him as usual and saying how cool he is. When he and Ino were going out, they usually leave him alone. But when they broke up, they start following him and they tried to get his attention. He sighs and walked to the yard. He saw Naruto sitting in the bleachers alone. So he decided to talk to him.

Sasuke sat next to him. "Hey Dobe, how come your not with the others?"

Naruto smiled, "I should be asking you the same thing."

Sasuke rolled his eyes, "I wanted to walk around."

"Oh, me too." Naruto looked at Sasuke and notice that he looked sad. "Why so glum, dude?"

"Hn, its nothing."

"Do you still have feelings for Ino?" Naruto asked.

Sasuke looked at him with an angry face. "What the hell? We broke up 5 months ago. Why would I still have feelings for her?"

"So that's a no?"

"No shit, Dobe."

Naruto smiled and stand up from his seat, "Okay then, I'm going to ask Ino out right now." He starts to leave.

Sasuke's eyes widen and he grabbed his hand and made him sit back down. "What the fuck! When did you like Ino? You can't ask her out because what if I still have feelings for her!" Sasuke said without realizing what he had said.

Naruto laughed, "Hahaha, gotcha."

"What?"

"I tricked you. I just said that stuff because I knew you were lying." Naruto patted his back. "If you still like her, why don't you ask her out?"

"I can't." Sasuke looked down. "She told me to remain friends. So I can't ask her out if were 'just friends.'"

"But how could you be friends if you guys don't even talk to each other anymore?" Naruto asked.

"I don't know. It feels awkward talking to her."

Naruto chuckled, "So you're scared?"

"I'm not fucking scared. If you were in my shoes, you'll understand." Sasuke realize that everyone was leaving. "Hn, the bell rang."

Naruto stand up, "Shit! We have science next! Mr. Yamanto said if were late again; he will make us scrape up all the gum under the desk." Naruto said while running to his class.

"Hey Dobe, wait up!" Sasuke said while catching up to him.

Sasuke's Pov:

Sasuke and Naruto kept running and they didn't stop. They didn't stop; they just kept running until they get to class. Naruto was already in class and Sasuke was a quarter there until he bumped into someone. They both fell to the ground and they're science books dropped. Sasuke notice it was Ino and he almost blushed. Sasuke picked up his book and Ino's book too. He smiled and stands up. He pulled out his hand, to try to help her up.

Ino reached for his hands and when she finally got up, she said, "Thanks." She dusts off the shorts she was wearing. She smiled, "Umm… sorry about that."

Damn here goes the awkwardness.

"It's cool. I shouldn't watch where I was going. By the way, here's your book." Sasuke said and gave her the book back. She thanked him again and walk inside her class. She and her partner sit right in the front and Sasuke and Naruto sat right behind her. They were so close that they could hear each other's conversation.

Ino sat in her desk and waited for her partner to arrive. Sasuke sat at his desk. The bell rang and Ino's science partner didn't show up. Mr. Yamanto came in with an unfamiliar kid. Sasuke looked at the kid and he had gray hair and he was wearing a purple shirt with tight black skinny jeans.

Hn, he must be new.

"Hello class." Mr. Yamanto greeted to them. "We have a new kid in our class. His name is Suigetsu and he will be joining our Science class. Please be nice to him."

Suigetsu turned to his teacher, "Where do I sit."

Mr. Yamanto looked around the room if there is an empty room and he found one. He smiled, "You can sit over there." He said while pointing at where Ino's desk is.

"Umm… Mr. Yamanto, Ami sits here." Ino said.

"Oh that's right. She will not be attending this school anymore. She moved." He replied back.

"Aww, that sucks." Ino said.

Suigetsu smiled and sat next to Ino. Sasuke looked at him when he was sitting next to Ino.

Hn, I don't like him.

Suigetsu looked at Ino, "Sooo, your name is Ino right?" Suigetsu put his arm around her chair and leaned back a little.

"Yup." Ino said. "Your name is Suigetsu."

He smiled, "Wow, you already know my name. You must be into me."

Ino laughed, "Yeah I can't get my eyes off of you ever since you enter this classroom."

"So why don't we go on a date tonight?" He said. Sasuke hearing this; already feeling jealous.

Ino smiled, "Sure, but you're paying right?"

He smirked, "Of course, I always pay when I ask girls out." He leaned in towards Ino. "So give me your address and I'll pick you up." He said seductively.

Ino blushing at this said, "Hey, I thought we were just joking about all this."

"You might be, but I wasn't." He said. Ino didn't say anything. She was joking about what she had said. He laughed, "Hey princess, I was playing."

Ino was relief, "Phew, thank god you were kidding."

He smiled, "You're cute when you worry." Ino blushed.

Hn, that guy is annoying. Ino will never fall for him.

The bell rang and people exit their classroom. Sasuke decided to go home. After he was done with his locker, he went outside the school. He saw Ino and Shikamaru walking home, so he turned around and took the other path to go home. He wanted to walk with them home, but it would just get quiet.

When he got home, he saw his parents and his older brother in the living room. He went to the kitchen and grabbed a snack. When he got his snack he went back to the living room. "I'm going to my room, don't bother me." Sasuke said. He was about to go upstairs, but his mom spoke up.

"Honey, where's that blonde girl your always with. Doesn't she always come in here and hang out with you." Her mom asked.

"I believe her name is Ino." His dad said.

Sasuke looked at them. "For the million times, we broke up." Sasuke walked upstairs and went to his room. He lay back on his bed.

I told my parents that me and Ino are over. Why do they keep mentioning about her? Hn, that's right. They liked here. Ino will always come over and we'll always do homework together. Sometimes, she'll always have conversations with my parents; even my brother.

Just then, he heard his 'beep,' from his phone. He took out his phone and he got a text message from Kiba.

To Sasuke:

Hey what's up dude? Me and the gang all agreed to have dinner at China been there right? So don't eat anything. Meet us there at 7:00. See you there.(:

From Kiba

Sasuke put his phone back inside his pocket and looked at the time.

Hn, it's 5:23, I have time to sleep.

Sasuke woke up and he looked at the time.

It's 6:30, I should be going.

Sasuke went to the bathroom and fixed himself. He changed his shirt to a black v-neck. When he was finished, he went downstairs and told his parents he'll be out.

He got there in 25 minutes, because it was close to his house. He saw everyone there except for Ino. He sat next to Naruto.

Sitting Order: Sasuke, Naruto, Kiba, Neji, TenTen, Temari, Sakura, Shikamaru, Gaara, & Hinata.

Sasuke looked around and notice Ino wasn't here. "Hey, is Ino here?"

Sakura smiled and said, "She's over there." She pointed at Ino. Ino was opening the door and she walked up to them. They were sitting at a round table with chairs around it.

Ino smiled, "Sorry I was late. I have to finish my homework."

"Oh it's alright, Ino. Take a seat." TenTen said.

Ino notice that the only seat was available was right next to Sasuke. "Right…" She smiled and walked up to Sasuke and sat next to him. She was between Sasuke and Hinata. "So what you guys ordered?"

"Naruto, already ordered for all of us." Shikamaru said.

"So that means he's paying for all of us." Neji said.

"Hey, I thought were paying our own." Naruto said.

Sakura laughed, "You know what they say. First ordered… ummm first pay?" She said.

"That's not even like a …. Saying!" Naruto said.

"Oh well, you're still paying." Sakura said.

Naruto looked at his wallet and he found some extra money to pay all of them. "Fine I'll pay, but you all owe me."

There food arrived and they start eating. Ino didn't talk to Sasuke, she just talked to Hinata and Sasuke talked to Naruto.

Ino looked at her phone and checked the time. It was 7:34. She promised her mom that she will go home by 7:30. Shit, she was going to be late! She stand up, "I know it's early, but I promised my mom I'll be home by 7:30."

"Aww, really. We didn't have desert yet." Temari said.

Ino giggled, "I think I have ice cream at home." She walked up to Naruto and gave him a hug. "Thanks for the meal."

Naruto blushed, "Ah, you're welcome."

Ino turned to them, "Bye guys… I'll see you tomorrow." She starts to leave, but she heard someone calling her name. She looked back and it was Sasuke.

"Ino, I'll walk you home." He said while getting up. Ino almost blushed.

What! Why is he doing this?

He opened the door for her and they both started walking together.

Ino smiled, "You know, you don't have to walk me home."

"Yeah, but I want to." He replied. "And it was getting dark, something bad might happen to you if you walk home alone."

"Aww, you still cared about me."

"Of course I do. Even though we…. never mind."

They stayed quiet for a long time. They were almost there at Ino's house. Sasuke getting annoyed at this stopped and said, "Ino… why?"

Ino didn't know what he was talking about. "Why, what?" She responds back.

"Why you break up with me?"

"Sasuke, let's not-…"

"You didn't even tell me why you dumped me." He looked at her shock face and grabbed he grabbed her shoulders. "Now, we can't even talk to each other anymore! Tell me why you fuckin' dumped me!"

She ignored him, "Let go of me!" He didn't let go of her. He kept holding her close. They haven't been this close since a long time.

"Just tell me why!"

Ino slapped him in the face and he finally let go. "Do me a favor; never walk me home ever again." Ino ran to her house and left Sasuke.

Sasuke shrugged and walked to his house. She never told him why she dumped him. But she was crying really hard when she dumped her. It feels like she didn't want to dump him, but she did.

Jeez, I'm such an idiot. I over did it.
