CHAPTER 2

A Monday that sucks

Monday. Oh, what a wonderful blessing this day was to humanity. Especially when you have school so early in the morning that you haven't even fully woken up yet when your classes start. What a joy it is to be forced to sit on an uncomfortable wooden chair in front of an equally uncomfortable desk and pay attention to boring teachers and their boring lessons, when all you really want to do is go back to the warmth only the sheets of your bed can provide.

'Well things are as they are', Naruto thought bitterly, as he made his way down the long hallways of the building also known as Hell. Well, its formal name was Konoha High School, but don't let it fool you. It was full of annoying girls, who thought that just because their parent had money, they ruled the world, annoying brain-dead jocks who thought that they should be obeyed just because they were ripped and then there were these annoying teachers who thought that they knew everything.

Okay, so as you can already tell, Naruto was in a bad mood, but can you really blame him? His head still hurt from the encounter he had with the pale bastard the day before and he really, really hated Mondays. The annoying squeals around him, coming from the girls near his locker, didn't really help his headache much. They were probably fawning over this annoying boy band that everybody seemed to talk about. Worst part was, he must've passed around seven or more groups of squealing girls this morning, standing in circles and fawning over some magazines which obviously showed how 'mysterious and sexy' these Akatsuki guys were.

Naruto rolled his eyes, even more annoyed then before. With all that worshiping they were doing, one would think that they were forming some sort of a strange cult and these guys were their Gods. The blond subconsciously shuddered at the thought.

With a scowl he slammed the door to his locker shut and made his way down the hall to his first class. Math. Whoever thought that you can solve math problems this early in the morning, on a Monday no less, clearly was possessed by an evil demon or something equally hellish. No human being should be able to torture others of its kind in such a monstrous way, without being the Satan himself.

Naruto sat himself in his usual seat, way in the back of the room where he could take a nap without getting caught. Although if those dumb girls didn't soon shut up about the damn vocalist of that stupid boy band of theirs, Naruto would not be held responsible for the thigs he may do.

"Naruto!" Oh, yeah. Naruto almost forgot his girlfriend was also a part of these girls.

"Hey, Sakura!" He tried to sound as cheerful as possible, plastering a huge grin on his face, when she literally threw herself on his neck. He chuckled lightly as she placed a soft kiss on his cheek.

"So, I see someone's in a good mood this morning." He said as he brushed away a strand of pink hair that had fallen on his face.

"Yup" She said and let go of his neck only to sit on his lap. 'Okay, she definitely wants something' thought the blond. She rarely ever sat in his lap, and almost never when they were in public.

"Is it okay if the girls and I go to the mall after school? I know we had plans and all for this afternoon, but I have my eyes set on these really cute shoes and I know how much you hate shopping. We planned to go around the shops a little, I mean like explore. Like did you know I have never been to the metal shop, for an example". Okay that was weird. She'd never step a foot in the metal shop before and now she was willing to in her own free will? Was it the first of April or something? He wasn't mad about the canceled plans or anything. They had reached that part in a relationship, where they didn't need to be with each other 24/7 to know that the other was committed, but still…

"Since when do you show any kind of interest in metal? I mean, no offence, but the last time I asked you to come with me to the metal shop you said you'd rather drown yourself in the fountain than step a foot in there. Why the sudden interest?" He watched her as she bit down on her lip and then pouted playfully at the accusation.

"Well, yeah, it's not my favorite place, but I heard that The Akatsuki are in town right now, which also means that Uchiha Sasuke is here too and he'd definitely be there." Her voice was rising higher and higher with every word, until it sounded almost inhuman at the end. How did girls ever manage that, was beyond Naruto. Yeah, he could sing and reach some high notes himself, but damn he could never do such a thing with his voice. Although he suspected that this may have something to do with Sasuke. Sometimes the blond felt like Sakura preferred this guy over him.

"Mhm... Well, okay, I'll just go with Kiba and Gaara and see that cool new zombie movie. Of course you can always join us and then we'll stop by to grab your shoes." Sakura sighed and rolled her eyes.

"Naruto, you know how much I hate these kind of movies." She said with a cute pout, running a hand through his golden locks absentmindedly and he sighed contently, loving when she played with his hair.

"Okay." Naruto whispered softly as he placed a kiss on her temple. "But you won't escape me tomorrow." He wiggled his brows suggestively. "It'll be just you and me. We'll watch a movie then have dinner…? How does that sound?" He tightened his hold on her waist, watching her as she nodded her head slightly and smiled softly at him. Then, just when she moved to get up, the blonde grabbed her wrist and pulled her down on his lap again for a kiss.

Sakura's eyes widened at first, not expecting it, but then she quickly shut them and relaxed. She moved her lips in sync with these of her boyfriend. It wasn't any of those dynamic make-out kisses and no one moved to deepen it. It was just one of those that you share with your significant other time at a time, just because. After a couple of seconds they pulled apart and Sakura smiled. There was still something strange in her eyes, but at least her smile was genuine.

The bell rang, so she quickly jumped off his lap and made her way to her seat. In the meantime Naruto made a mental note to finally check these Akutski guys out. Couldn't be that bad since so many people liked them, right?


It was a nice day. The sun was still warm and shining brightly. Already the school parking lot was almost empty. Only exceptions made a couple of cars, but they too probably weren't going to be there in a short while.

The school day was over. Sooner than Naruto had thought it would be. Everything went normally. No one caught him napping, no surprise tests, lunch was very uneventful. Everything went too normally if you ask him, but he smirked. Maybe Mondays weren't so bad after all. He leaned against the side of his car with a content smile, enjoying the feeling of the sun-rays on his skin and the soft breeze that caressed his cheeks and ruffled his golden hair.

Kiba, Gaara, Shikamaru, Lee and Chouji should be out of the school soon. They were supposed to go to the mall together and watch this cool new movie that just came out. He really wanted to see it and now that Sakura had canceled their plans he had asked Gaara and Kiba to go watch it with him after school was over. At lunch Lee and Chouji were talking about how they wanted to see the very same movie and they decided they should go together, and of course Chouji decided he should also bring his best friend Shikamaru, who found it way too 'troublesome' to even argue with them for being dragged around.

And here they were now, crossing the parking lot.

"Sup, blondie?" Kiba slapped Naruto's back and grinned at the way his friend almost fell to his knees. The blond just glared at him, tough Kiba was completely unaffected by it, used to the glare as he was from a very young age. "Okay, who's ready to see some zombies getting their asses handed to them?" He looked around all five faces with a grin that only Naruto managed to equally match.

"Okay, my youthful friends, let's go!" Lee shouted and sprinted to his car, making Chouji snicker at his enthusiasm. Shikamaru yawned and put his hands in his pockets and together with his chubby friend followed Lee to his car. They had this unspoken rule that Gaara and Kiba always rode with Naruto, so sitting arrangements were never discussed.

The redhead quickly hopped into the front seat beside the blond and smirked slightly, calmly waiting for Kiba's outburst. For some reason tormenting the brunet was the high-light of his day.

"Heey, what the fuck dude, you damn well know that this is my seat! I never ride in the back!"

"Hm, well I guess you are today, aren't you, dog-breath?" There was a glare directed in the red-heads direction and just when Kiba opened his mouth to retaliate, Naruto brought the car to life and cut him off.

"Damnit Kiba, just sit in the back! It won't hurt your ego that much! Jeez, the things you two bicker about!" He muttered at the end. Seriously, sometimes Naruto couldn't help but think of them as an old married couple. He felt like if he wasn't there to interrupt their stupid hassles, they would have killed each other a very long time ago. Knowing how they were both so short tempered, things between them usually escalate pretty quickly. Deep down, Naruto was sure that they'd help the other out if they were to be in whatever need, but it was these moments when none of them were in any need of help, when Naruto was really scared for the safety of his two best friends.

With a pout and a huff Kiba sat ungracefully in the middle of the back seat with his hands folded over his chest.

The moment Naruto pulled out of the parking lot, silence engulfed the trio and Gaara reached forward to turn on the radio. Some slow romantic song started playing through the speakers in the car and Kiba made a barfing noise form the backseat. Ignoring him, Naruto just hummed to the familiar tune.

"What the hell, Naruto?" Kiba laughed from the back. "Don't tell me you listen to this crap or I'm seriously about to scratch you out of my list of friends."

"Yeah, I just love the way these songs sound. Just so full of love and they make me feel so giddy." The blond said with an even tone, sending Kiba one of his are-you-for-real looks. "What do you think, dipshit, Sakura must've left my radio on this station."

Gaara snorted at that.

"That's what they all say." The redhead muttered, acting like he didn't notice the glare that was directed at his head. He made a face at the sappy lyrics as he watched out of the window and reaching for the radio once again, changing the channels until metal started blasting through the speakers of the car.

"Ah, now that's more like it!" And of course Kiba, who could never stay still for too long, started acting like he was playing the drums and sang along with the vocalist. Gaara too was bobbing his head along to the rhythm and Naruto swore he saw his lips moving with the lyrics. It seemed like only the blond was unfamiliar with the song, though the voice of the vocalist did sound familiar.

"Who are these guys?" They weren't bad at all. He actually couldn't believe he hadn't heard of them before.

"Oh man, don't tell me you're being serious!?" Kiba looked at him incredulously through the rear view mirror. Then he saw the pure confusion on his best friends face "Like, you mean, you seriously haven't heard them before? Dude, where have you been living for the past couple of months? In the 17th century? Cause, you know, they had no television and radio back then too." Gaara snorted again, but other than that he kept silent. "These are the Akatsuki!"

Naruto's mouth formed a perfect 'o'. He had wanted to check them out, but never got around to it.

"Well hearing how all the girls like them so much, I never thought they'd sound like that. I just imagined them all touchy feely to be honest." Kiba rolled his eyes. He honestly couldn't blame his friend for that, but still. These guys were everywhere. It was a real miracle he hadn't heard them until now.

For the most part, the short ride to the mall was silent. Only exception was the radio, Kiba singing and occasionally Gaara telling him how awful he sounded. Okay, so maybe it wasn't very silent after all, but that's what they were used to anyway.

In a couple of minutes Naruto had already parked next to Lee's green car and soon they were all making their way through the parking lot, laughing and bickering over stupid stuff like always. Naruto, as the person he was, would get riled up real easily by Kiba being the smartass he was. Gaara kept silent, only smirking here and there or throwing a biting remark at Kiba. Shikamaru was saving his energy as much as he could like always, muttering his favorite word time at a time and mostly gazing at the puffy white clouds in the sky. Lee was currently as enthusiastic as always, throwing fists and kicks in the air and Chouji ate his potato chips through fits of laughter over something funny someone had said, which honestly happened a lot. Sometimes they wondered how he never chocked, talking and laughing with his mouth full all of the time.

And just like that, the moment they reached the glass doors of the mall, everyone stopped talking and put on their most serious and cocky expression. Long ago, they'd made up this game, so whenever they were entering the mall, or any other place for that matter, they would enter acting like some famous rock-stars. It had taken Naruto a good half an hour to convince Gaara, but at the end the redhead had relented. It had started with only Kiba, Naruto and the redhead, but soon they dragged most of their friends in to that game of theirs. Now even Shikamaru was participating, though he had put on a good fight at first, saying how childish and utterly troublesome it was, but soon began taking part in the game too. Whoever was the first to brake the act was to buy the others lunch. Or at least that is how it worked in the beginning. Now it was more like ritual to them. They did it every time, walking in sync, their heads up and avoiding all the eye-contact, making people wonder who were these push-overs.

This time, though, the moment of fake-fame, lasted rather shortly than it normally did, because just a couple of seconds after entering the mall, Kiba had accidently stepped on the back of Naruto's shoe so the blond had started to lose his balance. In attempts to regain it, he was about to hit Shikamaru. The brunette on his side, trying to avoid Naruto's flying hands, sidestepped and in result tripped Lee, who, very ungracefully fell flat on his face.

A wave of dead silence flooded the atmosphere around them. Other people had stopped to stare at the group that just froze when everything went so quiet all of a sudden. All heads slowly turned to look at Lee… And everyone started laughing. Every single person around them was just laughing their asses off along with them. Yes, that's right, even Gaara was laughing. Well, so much for their big entrance.

In a couple of minutes the laughter had finally started dying out and everyone that had stopped to laugh at them was now just continuing with their lives. Lee had gotten up and announcing that he was okay, giving everyone the thumbs-up and his infamous grin. Soon all of the boys started walking towards the escalators on their left. Snickers could still be heard from the group here and there at the not so distant memory.

"Oh man, I haven't gotten such a good laugh for ages!" Kiba said, while still whipping tears from his eyes.

"Yeah, well that's good to hear, knowing it was all your fault. Glad you at least had a laugh." Gaara shot back with a smirk.

"How is it my fault? As far as I could tell, Lee tripped because of Shikamaru!" Kiba threw his hands in the air, pointing at the lazy genius.

"Hey, don't you dare, blame it on me. If I haven't side-stepped Naruto would have hit me square in the face." At that point they were already on the escalator, reaching the second floor, where the cinema was.

"See, so if you have watched your step for once, and didn't step on Naruto, everything would have gone smooth enough." Gaara looked at the blonde for conformance, but Naruto had long lost track of what they were all talking about. All of their voices were a distant muffled sound in his head by the looks of it.

He had a deep scowl on his face and was staring at something up ahead. The moment he saw the black duck-butt hair style, and trust him, it was hard to miss, he had forgotten all about his friends. That was the rude bastard from the day before and now he was surrounded by dozens of girls, screaming at him, some of them were even crying. 'Ha! Serves him right!' Naruto thought. 'He had probably kicked a puppy, or whatever he likes doing in his free time and now all the girls are fussing and screaming at him… wait is that Sakura?'

His inward line of insults had been broken when he saw the shock of pink hair in the crowd of girls… Girls who were trying to take a picture with him… Okay something was off here.

Naruto was brought back to his senses when his vision blurred and he found himself with his face inches away from the black polished tiles of the floor in front of the escalators. Obviously, when he was being incredibly busy staring at the pale bastard, he had completely forgotten he was on an escalator. And like every other escalator, this one had its end too. So when that end had come to Naruto's feet, he tripped and began felling forward. He had his fast reflexes to thank for stretching his arms out in time and catching himself before he kissed the floor.

"See! He does a good enough job of tripping without any of my help!" Kiba exclaimed, pointing an accusing finger at the blond, who just glared back at him.

Gaara, already forgetting about the hassle, followed Naruto's previous line of sight to see what had held his friends interest so greatly.

"Oh my god, don't tell me that's Uchiha Sasuke right there! Man, do I hate how he gets all the girls." Naruto, who suddenly broke out of his trance, looked at his friend quizzically. Surely he didn't mean that this jerk was supposed to be the guy over whom the whole female population was fawning over as of lately. He was about to tell them how much of a jerk the Uchiha actually was when he decided against it. God forbid any of the girls heard him.

"Yeah, whatever." Naruto rolled his eyes and got up again on his feet. "What's the big fuss all about, anyway? Aren't the stars supposed to be like every other human being?" The blond had his arms crossed over his chest and a childish pout on his face. He looked up again, and right on time to see a squealing Sakura throw herself at Sasuke, grabbing the sides of his head and planting her mouth on his, bending him towards her so she could keep the lock her lips had on his.

Naruto's eyes grew wide at the sight and he suddenly felt the horrible need to throw up, but forced himself to keep it down. How could she?!

He saw the Uchiha push her off him with disgust written all over his face and then walk away from the screaming crowd of girls, the back of his hand still whipping his mouth. There were also some large guys acting like his man shield now, probably so he wouldn't be bothered in the same way again.

Naruto whipped his head to look at his friends and felt relieve that Gaara seemed to be the only person except him to witness this. They shared a look and Gaara couldn't help but notice the hurt in the blue eyes of his first and best friend, at which his jaw tightened. He had known Naruto for a long time and knew all the pain through which the boy had been forced to through and seeing him hurt again, was something Gaara couldn't take very lightly.

In the meanwhile the blond was at a total loss of words, and that rarely ever happened to him. His eyes were staring unseeingly at his moving feet as he followed his friends through the mall. It's like his thoughts suddenly swallowed him whole, dulling all of his senses once again and blocking everything from the outside world and if his friends noticed his sudden change of mood they didn't say anything, to which he was very glad.

With a sigh and lips pressed tightly in a thin line, he pulled out his phone and stared at it for a little while, not sure if he wanted to confront Sakura so soon after what he had seen. Although a second later he felt anger surge through his body in thick waves while his mind played over the scene and he sent a quick text to his girlfriend, telling her that he was at the mall. He asked her to meet him in the underground parking lot in a couple of minutes, before putting the devise away and gritting his teeth. He didn't lift his again though, leaving his blond bangs to hide his narrowed eyes.

From then on, time started passing in a blur. The only thing he could see was that kiss repeating over and over in front of his eyes, making his fists ball at his sides.

Very soon he was on the line for thickets, not realizing when it had happened or how he was at the front of the group, but he decided it didn't really matter, as he had suddenly lost any urge to see any kind of movie. He stood in front of the bored girl behind the counter and smiled. A smile that turned out to be a real challenge and it came out strained, never really meeting his eyes.

"Five tickets please."

Behind him, Kiba took a look around himself and began counting on his fingers, with a frown on his face.

"Hey, um dude, I know you suck at math and all, so I kinda wanted to remind you there's actually six of us, you know?"

Naruto paid for the tickets without paying him any mind and instead pushing the tickets in his hands.

"I'm sorry, guys, there's something I need to do. I'll eventually come in too. You just head in." He tried to smile, though he failed miserably again. Everyone looked at him a little confused except for Shikamaru, who looked thoughtful and Gaara who simply sent his friend a curt nod.

Naruto's phone buzzed in his pants and he stared walking away, not waiting for any more reaction from his friends. He read the text which held a simple okay and a wink emoji. She had probably thought that he had some sort of a surprise for her. Oh boy, she was in for a surprise, all right.

The blond felt sick to his stomach again and he frowned. He really needed to talk to her, though he wasn't quite sure what he would say. Only thing he was sure of, he didn't like one bit what he saw and what he still continued to see in his mind. And maybe that was a good enough start as any for the conversation he wanted to have with his pink-haired girlfriend.


Naruto was leaning on one of the concrete walls in the underground parking lot. He wore a frown on his face and his hands were crossed over his chest. He was currently looking at the small cracks on the asphalt under his feet as if they were the most interesting thing in the whole universe.

He really wasn't sure how to start and what exactly to say when Sakura comes down here to meet him. What is one supposed to say in a situation like this, anyway? It's not like he saw a pair of shoes and thought she'd like them.

His mind just couldn't even begin to wrap around what he'd seen, although with every passing second he became more and more aware of how true and very real everything he had seen was. For a very long time now Sakura had been talking only about Sasuke. In the beginning she didn't dare doing it in front of Naruto, but not so long ago she had started telling him how cute he was and how sexy and stuff he didn't really give a shit about concerning this guy. At first he had decided not to dwell on it too much, hoping it would pass, but it turns out he had been sorely mistaken.

A part of him still wanted to believe that this was just some sick hidden-camera joke. That it wasn't Sakura who he had seen and this was just some big misunderstanding. He wanted to believe it was another pink-haired girl, who from afar just looked like his girlfriend, but just thinking of that made him realize just how absurd it sounded. And that realization made him feel even sadder, but most importantly it made him even angrier.

By this point he was sure that if stares could kill, his shoes would be in pieces and illuminated in flames as of how hard he was glaring at them.

His train of thought was suddenly interrupted when he heard a pair of shoes clicking on the ground, the sound moving closer to him. Naruto looked up and saw the familiar face, smiling at him like nothing had ever happened. Smiling like she hadn't just kissed another guy.

"Hey!" She smiled sweetly at him, then threw her hands around his neck and kissed him. And that was what got Naruto real angry. How dare she kiss him, when just a moment ago she was throwing herself at a complete stranger, kissing him?

Sakura felt that her boyfriend wasn't quite responding to the kiss, or at least not in the way she had expected him to. She felt his jaw tighten and his body stiffen. With a frown she slowly pulled away so she could look in his eyes. She gave him a confused look, as if asking him what's wrong but he only stared blankly at her. His face was like made of stone. A perfect mask.

"Why?" He whispered just loud enough so he could be sure she had heard him. He didn't dare move his gaze to meet her eyes and he just stared blankly ahead. She just looked at him even more confused than before, but didn't dare open her mouth to answer. That only made Naruto angrier and this time he shifted his eyes so he could look at her. "Why would you do that, Sakura?" He asked again, this time his voice a little louder than in it was the first time. "Why would you do that to me… No, to us? Why would you want to throw it all away?" He pushed her hands away from his neck and they limply fell beside her body.

Sakura just opened her mouth and closed it for a couple of times, surprised of his behavior. She did have an idea what this was all about, but she prayed to God she wasn't right.

"I'm not really sure what you're talking about..." She shook her head slightly. Her pink strands swiftly following the motion of her head.

"Oh, you damn well know how much you fucked up, Sakura. Just when I turn my back and you run to some random dude to kiss him. Is this all our relationship means to you? A complete, fucking zero?"

Her eyes grew wide in realization and her lips parted in surprise once more. How could he have seen that? She frowned. Her perfect eyebrows meeting in the middle as her gaze darted downwards to her feet. Then a bitter smile appeared on her face and she looked up with sad eyes at his.

"I think we both know it didn't mean anything at all to him and…" She gulped. "...And to me either." Her head bowed after that and she was look at the ground again.

"Yeah, and you and I both know if it didn't mean anything to you, you wouldn't have done it in the first place, Sakura! I think I forgave you these kinds of fuck-ups for way too long. You're never going to change, are you?" His voice started rising with every word. "The first time I saw you kiss another guy, you told me it was an 'accident', the other time I happened to see something like that again, you said you were drunk and now you're telling me it didn't mean anything?" He still remembered quite vividly the kisses he had the misfortune of witnessing.

Sakura's fingers were fiddling with the hem of her shirt by now and she was looking at the ground like a puppy being scolded for peeing on the carpet. But this... To Naruto this was something way too hard to dismiss so easily. And for whom it wouldn't be? That was something that some puppy eyes and a pout won't fix.

"I don't know about you, but I don't go around kissing people if I don't want it to mean anything. Did all the kisses we shared also mean nothing to you? Because I'm pretty sure the kisses I happened to accidently witness weren't the only ones you had with these other dudes. Am I right?" The girl screwed her eyes shut, the frown between her eyebrows deepening, obviously refusing to give him any sort of answer, but to Naruto that was more than enough. "How am I supposed to trust you when I know that the moment you think I'm not looking, you just go off and kiss somebody?"

Then, just like that her fingers let go of her shirt and her eyes opened. She stared blankly at the ground for a moment.

"What do you mean 'The moment I think you're not looking'? You mean to tell me your trust in me is so low, you needed to stalk me?" Her voice was barely above a whisper. It did feel like she said it more to herself than him, but he had heard her anyways. Naruto had no problem hearing every word she muttered under her breath.

"I did have trust in you, but can you look me in the eyes and tell me you deserved it?" The pink-head took notice of the past tense and looked up to stare at Naruto. "You knew I was coming to the mall today, so don't you dare even try and blame me for anything. Because even if I was stalking you, and I wasn't, you're still the one to blame for this falling apart, because if you haven't forgotten, you're the one who just kissed another guy and came here, trying to kiss me not five minutes later." He's voice was so calm and even, devoted from any emotion, it actually scared Sakura. He was the most expressive and animated person she had ever met, and seeing him so emotionless and cold all of sudden made the back of her eyes sting.

"Okay, and what if Uchiha had actually returned the kiss instead of pushing you away? What if he had pushed you against the wall and kissed you back instead? What if he offered you to be his girlfriend? Hm? What would you've done then, Sakura?"

Sakura didn't answer for a long time, only returned her stare to the ground under her feet, probably searching for answers there. Or maybe she was wishing it could open up and swallow her whole if the blush on her cheeks was something to go by. Naruto personally couldn't bring himself to care anymore if it did and for all he knew, she could be blushing at the image in her head of the bastard kissing her back and asking her out. He didn't know which it was, but he didn't dwell on it. He was way too hurt to care about anything right now and the silence of his girlfriend was just speaking volumes to him. It was all he had expected to hear anyways.

She then suddenly smiled sadly, making him frown slightly at the thought that he might have just been a little too hard on her and she was really regretting all of this…

"But he didn't" Was all she managed to say, braking him out of his thoughts and with that breaking the blonds heart farther more, because that was what told him that the sad smile was actually brought to her lips by the fact that the Uchiha hadn't returned her feelings, and not the knowledge that her boyfriend was hurt.

Naruto's face became void of any emotions once again. His eyes looked so dead, Sakura actually felt scared the moment her green eyes met his blue ones.

"I don't think there is anything more I can say to you, except that the last 11 months were probably a total waste of time." He began walking away from her when he stopped a couple of feet away and turned around to cast a look at her over his shoulder. She hadn't moved an inch from her spot, staying there as if she were glued to the ground. Her pink bangs were falling over her face, successfully hiding her eyes. She didn't chase after him this time, pleading for his forgiveness like the last time she realized he had seen her with someone else. She just stood there like a perfect statue.

"I'm sorry Sakura, but we're over." And maybe this is for the better. Naruto thought, seeing as how Sakura didn't even try to put up a fight when their relationship came crashing to the ground in front of her green eyes. He didn't wait for a reaction, knowing that none would come, so he just turned his head forward and walked away, out of the parking lot and with that, out of Sakura's life.

Man, did Mondays suck.


So, um, yeah. I promise I don't have anything against Sakura, I just needed this to happen so things would work from then on in the fiction. I know she's kinda OOC, but whatever, it's an AU, some characters are bound to turn out at least slightly OOC. Thanks for reading and leave a review if you'd like.
