Summary; Aerie and Sakura are two best-friend trying to go through high school and all its drama. Sasuke/oc, Sakura/Naruto.

I don't own Naruto.

Warning; Sexual content, swearing, ooc, oc-centric, Konoha high fic, no promises on how far this story will go; meaning although I'll do my best to finish it, this story might still get cut.

Author note; For those who have read my other Naruto highschool fic, a new story is probably not what you want from me. I apologize for that. But while I was trying to update my other story my mind kept wandering and eventually I just wrote a new one. The summary is a bit lacking but its very similar to my other fic.


"If you're going to lay there and not help then I really do hope you get run over by a truck," Sakura nagged. Strands of pink hair stuck to her neck due to the sheet of sweat over her skin.

She wanted to take off her blouse but she knew she wouldn't in case of the one in a million chances someone did drive by the deserted highway.

"I don't know...how to fix a car," she heard her friend say slowly.

Aerie was taking the heat a lot harder than Sakura. Already the girl had abandoned her bra and now lay in the middle of the cemented road. If someone did come by, she didn't want to miss them.

She had poured a whole bottle of water over her head, and though the air wasn't so terribly hot, the long exposure to the sun had certainly warmed their skin.

Sakura sighed; the car felt like it was engulfed in hell's fire, the engine most likely had overheated and now her best friend lay practically naked in her thin summer dress sticking to her body like a second skin.

So Tulie wasn't the best car to bring with them on their road trip away from their receding love-life, but neither can ask their less than good standing boyfriend to give them a ride away from them.

…Even if it means getting stuck in the middle of nowhere with a dead battery and no way to call for help.

"I'm sorry I dropped your phone in the toilet," Aerie apologizes, as if reading Sakura's mind.

Sakura sighed, defeated. It was her decision to take Aerie despite knowing how irresponsible and childish the redhead is.

"If we do get abducted by aliens, I'll let them probe me first."

"Honestly Aerie, enough with the countryside stereotype."

"But if we get caught by an axe-murder, can you take one for the team?" She continued aimlessly.

Sakura sighed, for the tenth time that morning.

"I've never seen so much yellow," Aerie comment, disgusted.

She was referring to the field of yellow grass; tall and dried up…and the beige rocks...and the sand.

"We ARE nearing the desert," Sakura said, in her know-it-all fashion.

"Kill me now," her friend whined. "You made it sound so fun, going to drive-thru, being in a different place every day, eating pizza every night; living dangerously...I didn't think you meant being stranded and dying of dehydration."

"Oh of course and what a great job of dehydrating you I'm doing when you're lying in water!"

"...There's a car coming."

"Aerie we haven't seen a single car in our two hour drive, there isn't going to be one now."

"So your big brain is going to explain to me that THAT'S an illusion."

Sakura turn to see where Aerie was pointing at and there it was; a black shiny convertible speeding down the road.

"Oh my god Aerie this is our chance, don't screw this up." Sakura look to her friend to see Aerie now standing in the middle of the road, her arm raised and her thumb in the air, the typical hitch-hiker pose.

"You do know that you're suppose to stand on the side of the road right?"

"If they're not going to stop then I rather they run me over," she deadpans.

"I really hope they're not weirdos."

Luckily for the girls, the car stopped for them.

A boy a bit older than them got out of the car, looking somewhat relieve and yet worry at the same time. "You girls need any help?"

"Actually yes we do," Sakura reply graciously. "Our car broke down and we need to call a mechanic. Can you help us call someone?"

The boy glanced cautiously into his car at another person sitting in the passenger seat. "It's gonna be a four hour drive for the nearest mechanic" he grimaced "and I know them well enough that they won't even bother until two or three days later."

Sakura look dishearten.

And then the boy sighed, shuffling uncomfortably.

'Oh great, another sigher,' Aerie thought.

The boy kept checking back at his car.

Aerie turns to see what he was fussing about and caught a glimpse of a cute redhead boy.

She smiled flirtatiously. He was her type.

The redhead boy observed them from his seat before slowly making his way out.

Now first boy was really starting to look nervous, but the second boy just stood there, looking at them.

His red hair was messy, much like his companion's brown hair, though his manage to look softer. He had these pretty seafoam green eyes.

Aerie felt an instant attraction to him, though the black eye makeup and the tattoo on the forehead may be too much, he was handsome and he had a nice strong physique. He was taller than her and Sakura though he was obviously younger. Still he was closer to their age then the other one.

Aerie grinned and made her way towards him.

"I can give you a lift to town; you can stay in a motel until the repairs come."

"Really that'd be great! How close is the town?"

"It's also four hours. It's not much of a place to stay but its whole lot better than sleeping in your car. And you won't have to worry about the poisonous snakes."

"Snakes!"

"Yea, try not to go near the open plains. Anyways I'm just going to check back with my brother then I'll help you load up."

"Ok, thank you so mu- Aerie!" Sakura looked mortified. Her friend had probably just screwed it up for them again.

"Oh no." The brown hair boy muttered. "Shit."

Aerie now can tick "making out with a stranger on the hood of a car" off her bucket-list since that was exactly what she was doing on the slightly new BMW with a goth-punk looking guy pressed down on her body, his mouth exploring hers. His skin was smooth but he was hard as a rock against her softer form.

He was an aggressive kisser, Aerie might be fooled into thinking it was passionate.

"No no no no no." Aerie heard Sakura in the background. She tried to detach herself but the guy kept a firm hold on her. She felt a hint of annoyance at being confined but quickly forgot when she felt him grind against her.

"Um why don't you grab your stuff and we'll move it to the trunk?" she heard the other boy tell Sakura.

When Sakura went back to her car, he regarded his brother cautiously, "G-Gaara...we're taking them to the motel in town. Can you...maybe take this to the back seat?"

Gaara ignored him at first so Aerie gave him a hard shove. Aerie didn't mind PDA but she was tired of being outdoors. She gave the startled redhead a mischievous smile before helping Sakura with their bags.

Aerie let out a breathy sound of pleasure when she felt the blast of cool air from the car's air conditioner.

Sakura sat next to her looking overly cautious at the two boys. The older boy was driving, he looked just as cautious as she. Gaara was seated at the passenger seat looking thoroughly pissed.

Sakura practically bulldozed her way to the back seat so that Gaara couldn't get in with Aerie. He sent her a deadly look which raised alarms in Sakura's head. Aerie laughed at Sakura's antic completely missing the current mood.

"So where were you girls originally headed too? Oh I'm Kankuro by the way, and this is my little brother Gaara."

"I'm Sakura and this is Aerie. We didn't have a particular destination; we're just visiting different places."

"We were going to Uto," Aerie piped in.

Kankuro chuckled, "Club city, eh? You guys even old enough to drink?"

"Nope but we got IDs." Aerie pulled her fake driver license bringing it up to Kakuro. Gaara took a look at it as well.

"Ha, Shippedo? Is that where you're from?" Kankuro checked the address, he lightened up significantly. Shippedo is a hicksville. "You guys don't look like farmers girls."

"We're not," Aerie laughed, "I thought it would be funny, but no one cares in the end. We're from Konoha."

Sakura groan, trust Aerie to have never heard of stranger-danger.

Gaara listen quietly in his seat.

"So where are you headed to? Do you live in the town we're going to now?" Sakura questioned.

"No we live in the next town over. It's a bit further."

"You have a nice car, do you own it?"

"Aerie, really?" Sakura asked.

"No worries, I love talking about my car. Yea it's mines. We're kinda well-off." Kankuro answered, good-heartedly. "Got this baby for two weeks now."

"Car fanatic?"

"No" Kankuro laughed "I'm into puppetry actually."

Aerie scrunched her face, "...well you've just become less manly."

"No kidding."

Sakura watched the two hit it off, Aerie was charming and she usually get along with most people. But she was surprised at how quickly Aerie's focus turn from the younger to the older one.

She checked for Gaara's reaction through the car mirrors and almost pissed herself by the murderous look on his face.

'No weirdos, that was all I asked for,' she cursed her luck.

Sakura was relieved when they finally got out of the car. No wonder why Kankuro was being so weird when they first met, being in a car with Gaara was difficult. The danger and unstableness radiated off of him like a cape. Aerie was the only one to not notice.

"This is it?" Aerie looked grossed out as they stood in front of a shabby two story motel. Like all motel, the parking lot was directly outside of the bedrooms.

"Don't be such a girl about it."

Kankuro looked amuse, "It's a small town," he defended. "I'll get you two checked in."

"Aerie while we're here I don't want any more shananigans from you. Do you hear me?" Sakura's eyes widen as she saw her friend once again plastered to the red hair boy. "Kill me now."
