Author's Note: Thanks to everyone who reviewed! I appreciate it. Oh! and just so you know, this idea actually came to me as I was reading a fanfic made by a fan of a really popular Korean band.( No I'm not Korean, I just think they're cute. Yeah, shallow I know.; ) Don't worry, I didn't plagerize or anything. I give credit to the author of that story though! But anyways, I don't wanna take up too much of your time, so here's the next chapter!
Disclaimer: sighs Still don't own them...
Chapter 2
Ino growled for what seemed like the hundredth time that day.
"Oi! Forehead! Don't you have anything other than sweats, giant t-shirts, and wife beaters?!" she asked frustratedly.
"What do you think I am? A fashion diva like you?" Sakura muttered.
"How am I supposed to turn you into a girly girl if this is the only type of clothing that you own?!" Ino screeched.
Sakura shrugged and settled herself onto her bed. Ino was mumbling incoherent things, while Sakura found herself dozing off. Suddenly, her pocket vibrated and she bolted up in shock.
"Hello?!"
"I surprised you again huh? Tch. So annoying. You're almost like Shikamaru now Sakura," came a surprisingly calm voice.
"Oh shut up Sasuke-kun. I can't be perfect like you. But anyways, what's up? We hardly ever call each other anymore since we moved in together." She said boredly as she looked at her nails and surprisingly found they were clean.
"Yeah well, I don't think I'm gonna come home today. You know, me and the guys are doing our weekly games tonight. Anyways, just wondering if you wanted to double date this two days from now. We haven't hung out for a while and it would be nice if you came and finally met Karin." Sakura blushed at the thought of Sasuke asking to double date, but it immediately faded as Karin was mentioned.
"Uhm, Well..I," she stuttered.
Sasuke smirked over the phone.
"You know Haruno, you don't have to come. I understand if you can't get a date."
Sakura narrowed her eyes into the phone.
"For your information Uchiha, I can get a date if I wanted to! Just because I choose not to go out on dates doesn't mean I can't get one!"
"Hn. I'll see you Saturday then. Go to that restaurant about ten minutes away from our apartment at six." he informed her before hanging up.
Sakura groaned as she stuffed her face into her soft pillow.
"Who was that Sakura?" Ino questioned as she threw all the giant shirts and a majority of her sweats and wife beaters into a box.
"Sasuke-kun."
"Still like him?"
"No!" She yelled suddenly before realizing it. She started again in a slightly calmer and softer voice, "No.. I love him."
"Geez Sakura! It's been 6 years already! When are you gonna tell him? You already live together for crying out loud!" Ino pointed out, as she found more wife beaters in Sakura's dresser.
"We're best friends Ino! And don't make me remind you that I wouldn't even be living with him if you and Sai hadn't wanted to live together. Plus, even if I wanted to tell him that I love him, I'd have to wait until after he breaks up with his girlfriend." Sakura muttered.
Ino gave her a look before shrugging.
"So what did he want?"
"He wanted to know if I wanted to go on a double date with him and Karin on Saturday because 'we haven't hung out in a while.' " she quoted.
Ino noted Sakura's distaste for this Karin girl and smirked.
"At least he cares enough to invite you." she argued.
She gave a frustrated yell as she found even more sweats and shirts.
"Where do these keep coming from?!"
"They've accumulated over the years. Forgive me for not throwing the old ones out." Sakura said boredly.
"Whatever. I've finally finished and you could use some clothes in this empty closet of yours. Let's go to the mall and get you more clothes and a perfect outfit for Saturday!" Ino said excitedly as she dragged Sakura from the arm and pulled her out the door.
"Sasuke-teme! Let's go get some ramen!" Naruto yelled as he dragged Sasuke by the collar to the food court.
"Dobe! Let go!"
"Okay okay. Geez, don't get your boxers in a bunch." Naruto commented.
"Whatever."
The two were silent for quite a time before Naruto started looking at the people around him. He spotted what seemed like two familiar girls. One with blonde hair and the other with pastel pink.
"Oi teme! Isn't that Sakura-chan and Ino-pig?" He asked using Sakura's nickname for Ino.
"You'd know if it was Sakura, dobe. She's the only girl we know with pink hair." Sasuke responded, before turning to look where Naruto was pointing.
He raised an eyebrow. Hold on, was that Sakura?! That girl was wearing a dress, and looked quite pretty (although he would never admit it), but that just couldn't be Sakura! Sakura... Sakura wore sweats and wife-beaters! Wait, was that girl wearing make up? Since when was Sakura wearing make up?! Was that even Sakura?
"OI! SAKURA-CHAN!!" Naruto yelled out from across the food court.
Two heads turned simultaneously at the loud yell, and Sakura's eyes widened tremendously.
'Oh crap. No one was supposed to see me like this until Saturday!' Sakura thought.
"Ino! They're not supposed to see me like this! Let's go!" She whispered harshly.
"No! Let's go see how they like the new you." Ino said proudly as she eyed Sakura before dragging over to the two boys.
Sakura bowed her head as they came closer. The problem was, the closer they got, the more surprised the two boys looked.
'Woah. Sakura-chan looks so cute. Well, not that she wasn't cute before, she's just, WOW.' Naruto thought as he looked at Sakura in her white summer dress.
'I've known Sakura for 6 years and I've never seen her in a dress before. Is this some sort of sick trick?' Sasuke thought at the same time.
"Hey guys.." Sakura said hesitantly breaking the awkward silence that came over the group.
The two boys just stared at her, as she fidgeted slightly.
"Well, don't just stand there and gape! How does she look?" Ino asked the two while twirling Sakura around the best she could.
"Hn."
That snapped Naruto out of his reverie.
"WHAT?! 'Hn.' is all you can say teme?! Are we looking at the same person?" Naruto ranted.
"Aa."
"Damnit Sasuke! Something is seriously wrong with you. Your best friend is standing in front of you, in a dress, which she doesn't usually wear, and all you can say is 'Hn'?! Look at her, she's gorgeous, and you better believe it!" Naruto pointed out.
Sasuke rolled his eyes.
"Naruto, she's my best friend. If I wanted to check her out, I would have done so ages ago! Besides, I've got a girlfriend in case you've forgotten!" Sasuke hissed backed.
Sakura watched wide-eyed as the two fought, but as she heard Sasuke's reply, anger bubbled up inside of her. Ino just watched on with amusement.
"Wait, what are you trying to say, Sasuke?," Sakura asked as she interrupted their fight momentarily.
She didn't give him a chance to respond as she took another deep breath before ranting again.
"Goodness! I know I'm not the most attractive girl out there, and I know I AM a tomboy, but aren't you kinda rubbing it in my face?! Especially now, when I'm trying to change! When I want to change. Geez, I can be a tomboy and you wouldn't even dare to look at me, and I can be a girly girl and you'll just say how you still wouldn't wanna look at me! I'm not saying I want to be looked at ('even though I really do,' she added mentally) but it would be nice to have some support from my best friend!" Sakura finished, looking up at him with teary eyes.
He was so shocked that he couldn't even respond.
Sakura shook her head before running off with a screaming Ino after her.
"I didn't think what I said was that offending..." Sasuke muttered.
Naruto slapped his forehead, 'and he calls ME the dobe?! He has some serious issues. BELIEVE IT!'
Author's Note: Well, there's chapter two! Thanks again to all of those who reviewed the first chapter! This one's for you.
