Chapter 1: Same Old Same New….???

*sigh*

Sakura sat on the cafeteria table, deadly bored because her friends are off to their club meetings in school. Sakura stared at her two-year love, Sasuke Uchiha. Sasuke just continued talking to his friends. He laughed, smiled, and looked like he was having a really great time. Little did Sakura know, Sasuke has been staring at Sakura whenever she wasn't looking. Little did Sakura also know that Sasuke hasn't given up on her when she thought he did. It all started two years ago when Sakura just moved in to the Konoha Academy, a boarding school miles away from Sakura's home. The girls' dorm rooms were close to the boys' dorm rooms so Sasuke and Sakura saw each other a lot. It started from Sasuke's increasing interest on Sakura and Sakura soon caught the same thing. The two then fell in love with each other despite the fact that they don't hang out, they're not friends, and neither do they really talk to each other. They haven't even had the same classes before. Sasuke was a senior and Sakura was a junior so becoming friends in school can be a little weird. They barely know each other, yet they're pretty sure one liked the other. So how did Sakura thought she was losing Sasuke? Well it all started when Sakura started hanging out with guys a lot. Sakura knew it was all for friendship but Sasuke thought that she had moved on, so Sasuke started befriending a lot of girls. With that, Sakura thought that Sasuke moved on and decided to try to move on as well. Sasuke did the same thing, but the two secretly fell for each other. Although this time, it wasn't as strong as before and there was pain added to it. The two suffered. Sakura heard a rumor that Sasuke likes this other girl and Sasuke heard a rumor that Sakura likes this other guy. To make things worse, the two knew that the two would separate the next year when Sasuke goes to college. The two then wouldn't know if they would ever see each other again.

'There's no point of loving him.' Sakura thought. 'I barely know him! I don't want my heart to be broken because of a guy I barely know. I heard that Sasuke and this girl Karin like each other. I know it's a rumor but I hear they hang out a lot and I know it can be possible. But why should I stop them? They know each other and they're friends. I would only be a bother.'

Sakura hugged her knees and looked out of the big open field. She sighed in boredom and disappointment as she looked away from Sasuke and rested her head on her knees.

"Hey"

Sakura turned to see Sasuke standing in front of her. He was embarrassed and shy but didn't show it. Sakura slightly blushed and tried to act cool. "Hey" she greeted back.

"Where are your friends? Why are you alone?" Sasuke asked. Sakura turned her head.

"They're in their club meetings. What about you? Why aren't you with your friends?" Sakura asked.

"It's okay. You shouldn't ask. Aren't you lonely?" Sasuke asked.

"Kind of, but it's ok. Really." Sakura answered.

"Do you want to hang around with me and my friends?" Sasuke asked.

"No it's ok. It's almost time to go anyway." Sakura answered. "But thanks anyway." Sakura expected Sasuke to walk away or something that signals that he was leaving. Instead, he silently took a deep breath and waited for a few seconds.

"Well if not right now…Maybe both of us should get to know each other. Not as a date but, I just want to know more about you and I was hoping that we could be friends." Sasuke offered. Sakura looked at him with surprise.

"S-sure I'd love to. But you're a senior and I'm a juni-"

"Age and grade doesn't matter to me. You?"

"N-no"

"Then you want to meet up at Mean Caffeine this Saturday at 12? We could hang out there." Sasuke asked.

"O-okay, I'll see you then. B-bye." Sakura nervously answered as she walked away. When she went to a place where no one was there, she jumped and squealed in delight.

'Oh my gosh! I can't believe I get to be with Sasuke! I have to tell the girls!'

*****

"Congratulations Sakura. You finally got to Sasuke." Hinata said as she gave Sakura a hug.

"Yeah Sakura. Congrats." Tenten said as she patted her in the back.

"I dunno Sakura. What if he's one of those jerks that ask girls to meet them at someplace and never show up or do something to make you feel bad?" Ino asked with concern.

"I really doubt it. I know I don't really know Sasuke, but I'm pretty sure he's not a jerk. And if he was, I would know and at least learn a thing about him." Sakura explained. The four girls were now in their dorm room doing their homework.

"Oh well. Whatever. Have fun Sakura and congrats. If anything happens, I'll be there for you." Ino said.

"Us too Sakura." Tenten said. Hinata nodded in agreement.

"Thanks guys." Sakura thanked.

*****

"You look great." Sasuke complimented.

"Thanks Sasuke. You look great too." Sakura complimented. Sakura was wearing a red spaghetti strap, a blue mini skirt, and brown boots that reached up her knees. Her hair was up in a ponytail. Sasuke wore a red plain shirt with a black jacket, dark blue pants, and red sneakers. Sasuke and Sakura secretly blushed at each other's appearances. The two were now at Mean Caffeine, the one of the greatest hangout and coffee shops in the world. The two then entered the shop and went to the register to order.

"What would you like Sakura? I'll get us both something." Sasuke asked.

"No it's ok Sasuke. I'll get it myself." Sakura said.

"No Sakura. I insist." Sasuke said. Sakura slightly blushed.

"Um ok. I would like a small caramel frappaccino." Sakura said. She could've gotten a medium one but she was too shy.

"Ok" Sasuke said. He then looked at the guy in the counter. "Hey Naruto, can you get me two small caramel frappaccino."

"Wassup Sasuke! Sure. And who's that girl with you?" Naruto asked as he looked at her. "She's cute."

"This is Sakura." Sasuke said. Unknown to Sakura, Sasuke was glaring at him.

"Two small caramel frappaccinos for the happy couple!" Naruto said and walked away before Sasuke hit him. Sakura blushed at the statement. After receiving their drink, Sasuke and Sakura sited themselves on a table.

"So how's school so far?" Sasuke asked to start a conversation.

"It's pretty good I guess. How about you?" Sakura asked.

"I guess it's ok." Sasuke answered.

"So do you like MusicDreamers?" Sakura asked.

"I like them they're pretty good."Sasuke answered.

"Me too. They're like the most amazing group of performers in my life!" Sakura said.

"Cool, do you like basketball?" Sasuke asked with slight awkwardness.

"I love basketball. I play it all the time with my friend Tenten. We're like rivals, but we're pretty good friends."Sakura explained. "Do you like the night sky?"

"I gotta say I love them. I stare at the night sky to just relax, help or fix something, and think about stuff." Sasuke answered.

"Same here. I love the night sky. Especially when it's starry." Sakura explained.

"I know this is random and weird, but it's nice hanging out with you. Even though we haven't exactly spend a lot of time yet." Sasuke said as he slightly blushed.

"Me too Sasuke. Me too." Sakura said as she too slightly blushed.

*****

"So how was the date princess?" Ino asked. Sakura came back to the dorm room to see her friends watching some TV. She then looked at the clock to see that it was already 6 and looked back at Ino.

"It wasn't a date Ino. Sasuke and I are just getting to know each other." Sakura explained. "And my time with Sasuke was great! We had so much in common. And Sasuke was so nice and just so great to be with."

"Good to know Sakura. And by the way, getting to know someone is a date." Tenten explained.

"Not always though." Hinata said.

"Oh and by the way, while Sasuke and I were talking, we both were talking about our friends, which means you guys, and his friends and you guys sound perfect for each other. Turns out one of his friends, Naruto Uzumaki, works at Mean Caffeine." Sakura explained. Hinata blushed at Naruto's name. Sakura raised an eyebrow and smirked. "I see Hinata already knows Naruto." Hinata's blushed deepened.

"N-no o-of c-c-course n-n-not! I-I-I d-d-don't know h-h-him." Hinata stuttered. Ino beamed.

"Oh my gosh! Hinata never stuttered like that since she saw that blue-eyed blonde guy that looked like a fox when she was 10!" Ino said. Sakura beamed as well.

"Naruto is exactly like that! Oh my gosh, Hinata you have found your lost true love!" Sakura exclaimed. Hinata looked down.

"B-but I can't be with him. H-he's a year older than me." Hinata said sadly.

"Oh who cares about age? Sasuke actually had the guts to be with Sakura and he's a senior. What's the difference with this Naruto guy?" Tenten said.

"Tenten's right girl. Take your chances. Meet Naruto at school on Monday and talk to him." Ino said.

"But how can I talk to h-him if h-he's hanging out with his senior friends?" Hinata asked. Sakura smiled.

"I was about to tell you guys. We're going to meet Sasuke's friends next week!" Sakura said. The three girls gasped.

"Sakura are you crazy?! They're probably senior jerks! They'll probably judge us badly by our rank of being junior!" Ino exclaimed. "And I don't intend to have more enemies."

"I agree with Ino Sakura. They're probably mean." Hinata said.

"Whatever, if they're jerks, I'm not gonna stop myself from defending us. Anyways, I'm gonna play some basketball." Tenten said as she got her basketball. "Bye guys." Tenten said as she walked out of the door.

*****

Tenten dribbled the ball as she ran to the court and easily made a shot. She made jump shots perfectly but her third one was stopped when someone snatched the ball away from her and made a shot.

"Hey!" Tenten exclaimed. She then looked at the person and saw that he was very tall with long dark-brown hair. His eyes were like pearls. "I was playing my ball and I want it back please."

"I was going to play here with my ball until I saw you already took it." The boy said.

"You can either play here another time or play later. I was here first." Tenten said.

"And it matters because?" The boy asked teasingly. Angry, Tenten tried to get her ball back. Unfortunately, the boy's height made it unreachable as he raised the ball in the air with his hand.

"Give me back my ball!" Tenten yelled. The boy smirked.

"I'll give you back your ball, as long as you let me play with you." The boy said. Tenten raised an eyebrow.

"Why would I do that?" Tenten asked.

"Because I have your ball. And I want to play with you." The boy said as he smirked. Tenten grunted and gave up.

"Oh screw you I'll just buy another ball." Tenten said as she started to walk away. However, the boy knows what he wants and isn't intending to give up getting it.

"Oh so you're saying you're scared to lose to me. How sad, I was searching for a tough challenge. Too bad, I thought it would be you. Oh well I guess I was wrong." The boy said and smirked in victory when Tenten turned around.

"Fine! I'll give you a "challenge". But as long as you promise to give me back my ball no matter who wins." Tenten said.

"Hmp fine." The boy said as he started the game.

*****

The game was down to a tie of 19 to 19. Both Tenten and the boy were sweating and tired. Tenten started dribbling the ball towards the ring and messed up when she saw a crow sitting on a tree branch. So the ball bounced back and hit Tenten hard on the head. The boy then went up to her.

"What happened to the mighty basketball champion?" The boy asked with sarcasm. However, Tenten was too terrified to hear what he was saying. Tenten hurriedly picked up her ball and started walking away.

"Where is the champion going? Is she too scared to admit defeat?" The boy mockingly asked. 'Don't go.' Tenten however, heard the word "scared".

"The game's over." Tenten said as she walked away, leaving the frowning boy alone.
