Chapter 2: Long Distance

"Morning forehead!" Ino called. Forehead, or Sakura, was currently sitting at her desk. It's early morning and today was a big day.

"Hey porky." Sakura replied.

"What's up Saku? Don't you seem glum?" Tenten commented. Had she seemed glum? Sakura hadn't noticed.

"Today's the day! You should be beyond excited!" Ino said plopping herself down on her seat beside Sakura.

Today was the day. Sakura knew that. The girls' basketball team was traveling to Oto tonight for a game. But not just any game. A game where she could see him, number ten, Uchiha Sasuke.

"You're like head over ass for him girl! Tonight's the night to show him what Haruno Sakura is really made of!" Ino said. Yes, it's true. Even though he knew her skills and how well she was on the court, he didn't get to see her full potential.

Uchiha Sasuke was a sex god. That is a true fact babe. So, of course, he probably is always surrounded by girls. Girls prettier than Sakura.

"Where's Hinata? She's never late." Sakura sighed.

"I got a text from her saying she's sick." Tenten said checking her phone, "Looks like we're short of a starter."

"Dang, didn't she want to see that number twenty three from Oto, Uzumaki Naruto?" Ino asked, "Long distance relationships are such a pain in the ass."

"Shikamaru problems?" Sakura questioned. Nara Shikamaru, number fifteen from the Oto team.

"He's such a lazy ass. I ask him for one simple thing and he says it's troublesome." Ino sighed. The two weren't dating. Ino wasn't very fond of long distance relationships and Shikamaru probably thought it was troublesome.

"That's too bad. Neji's practically the same." Ino turned to Tenten, "He's such a girl."

Hyuuga Neji, number eighteen from the Oto team.

"Looks like one too." Sakura muttered. The girls laughed.

Then the bell rang signaling the start of class. Since today they were heading towards Oto, they get to leave early. Score! Also since it's away, they had to dress up. Not that they have a problem with that but when you have to dress up every time you have an away game, it's get just a tad bit annoying.

"Chill love! You look stunning today! Trying to impress Sasuke?" Ino said. Sakura looked at her outfit. It consisted of a black pencil skirt, a white blouse with some white 3 inch strappy heels, "I love black pencil skirts because they're so versatile."

"Yeah I know thanks. I like your outfit too Ino. Trying to make Shikamaru jealous?" Ino laughed.

"Forehead my love, you know me to well." Sakura smiled.

Before they knew it, it was time to leave. Everyone was out of class and they all piled onto the bus.

"Tonight's going to be easy. I don't even know why we bother coming." Tenten said.

Oto's girls' team wasn't so much of a threat in the basketball world. Their boys' team is just a powerhouse.

"It's good practice Tennie!" Ino said setting her duffel bag on the floor next to their seat, "Besides, Karin's going to be there."

Sakura groaned at the sound of her name. Karin hated her, just as much as cats hated the water. And it's all because of Uchiha Sasuke. All because he was 'interested' in her when they first met.

She and Sasuke had been texting for months after that. No big deal right? He's just a hot guy who has the hots for her. Right?

"Guys, please don't mention her to me." Sakura said rubbing her temples. She can already feel a headache coming on.

Last time they met, Karin had purposely pushed and kicked Sakura during the game. Sure they won, but Sakura played her worst that day. And she's not going to let that happen again.

"Say forehead, did you text Sasuke? Is he going to be here today?" Ino said wiggling her eyebrows at Sakura. Sakura sweat dropped.

"Uh, yeah he's going to be here and so will the other guys." Ino and Tenten gave each other a high five.

The bus soon pulled up in front of the school doors. Oto High School wasn't a big flashy school that had money unlike Konoha. Oto was just a school who just had enough to get by. Their students aren't rich or anything except for a few. Their education level is also low which makes gives Oto a bad reputation.

Sakura, Ino, Tenten and the other girls had filed out of the bus. Taking a step into the school they could feel the air conditioner on high. It gave Sakura the goose bumps. Then Sakura felt a comforting hand on her shoulders.

"Chill girl." Tenten said before winking. She was walking beside Sakura and Ino was walking on the other side of Sakura. The three were in the front of the group, leading them to the locker room.

As they made their way into the gym they could feel people staring and people whispering.

"Hey look, it's the Konoha girls. They're not lying when they say Konoha has the hottest girls."

"Damn. Look at those legs."

"Well looks like our girls won't have a chance tonight."

Sakura sighed. Was Konoha really known as the school with the hottest girls? Sakura had no idea.

"Hey Saki, look." Tenten said looking up in the bleachers. Sakura looked at her before moving her eyes to the top of the bleachers where a big group of guys were sitting. One stood out to her. In his chicken ass glory, dark onyx eyes and lean figure sat Uchiha Sasuke.

He was sitting along with his team as well as the girls' team. Yup, she could hear Karin's screeching voice from here. Probably annoying Sasuke with her annoying antics.

"Come on girls, let's go." their coach said. Hatake Kakashi was the coach for both girls and boys teams at Konoha. Both excelling very well in their respective groups.

"Okay okay. We're going." Sakura said. Then she realized it. The locker room was all the way on the other corner of the room. That means they have to walk across the court.

Dear god have mercy on her. Sakura dreaded the meeting with both Karin and Sasuke. Why does god have to be against her, especially at this moment?

The team took a step onto the court and kept walking towards the locker room. With her friends by her side, she felt a lot safer. But it's clear; she could feel two pairs of eyes staring at her. One with murderous intentions and one emotionless.

"Hey Sasuke, isn't that the girl you're talking to?" Shikamaru said lazily. The lazy genius had his head on his arms.

"Hn, isn't that chick yours?" Sasuke asked gesturing to Ino who was walking and talking to Sakura.

"I don't know. Relationships are too troublesome."

"You would say that." Neji commented. Sasuke smirked.

"Which one is your girl Hyuuga? The one with the buns?" Neji blushed.

"S-shut up Uchiha."

"Speaking of Hyuuga, where the girl Hyuuga? Naruto's girl?" The turned to face Naruto who had a gloomy face.

"Whoa, he's quiet." Neji commented. Naruto turned to his friends.

"She's sick. She texted me saying she couldn't come tonight." Naruto said as he pouted his face again.

Poor guy. Love has made him whipped.

As Sakura and the girls changed they spoke about their plays. Though the game wasn't hard, they still wanted a flawless game. When they were done they made their way out. Sakura being last of course, she was the captain.

The girls all grabbed a ball and began warming up. Sakura stood by and stretched. She hated being stiff and then shooting. Being in Oto has one good advantage. Warm up songs. As if on cue, Payphone started playing.

Sakura ran up to Ino and Tenten who was currently making some free throws.

"Ah, I love this song. I love this place. And I love this fucking CD already!" Sakura laughed. Yeah this CD, she admits, was pretty badass already.

"Only thing right about this song is the lyric," Sakura began. She got in front and with a flick of her wrist, shot the ball. As the ball flew through the air she turned around, "All those fairytales are full of shit." and with that the ball flew right into the basket.

When the game began, the crowd came. Most were parents wanting to watch their kids and some others came to watch Konoha. I mean if you get to watch the future girls national champions play, wouldn't you come? Okay that was a bit conceited.

As Sakura thought, Karin was guarding her. And she wasn't about to lie, Karin was good at defense. But the way she shoves and kicks you, she would hate to have her as a teammate.

Just when Sakura was at the three point line, Karin came up in front of her. Karin struck out her arm to elbow Sakura in the stomach; Sakura jumps up and inclines her body back.

'All or nothing Saks.' Ino and Tenten thought. Sakura thought the same thing as she inclined her body back and flicked her wrist and the ball went flying up towards the basket.

Swish.

The ball went in and the crowd went crazy. Sakura wasn't known as the best three point shooter for nothing. She earned that title fair and square. It's no rumor that she can shoot a three pointer at any angle.

"SAKURA! YOU DID IT!" Ino screamed as she and Tenten attacked Sakura in a hug. And that's when she remembered that conversation.

Sakura and Sasuke were having their normal phone conversations that night.

"The what?" Sasuke had asked.

"The fade away shot." Sakura replied taking the cap off of her water while holding her phone between her head and shoulders.

"Fade away shot? You want to try that?" Sasuke asked surprised.

"Well yeah, I know it's your move and all, but it seems as if no other girl can do it. I'd really like to try. Plus it'll help me." Sasuke sighed. It's not that he had a problem with her using his signature move; it's that it's dangerous if she doesn't maneuver her body right.

"Help with what? Karin?" Sakura hesitated.

"Yes, I got to say though, she elbows hard for a girl."

"Are you okay? I saw her try that on you that day." Sakura smiled. So he had noticed her.

"Yeah I'm okay." She heard Sasuke sigh at the other end.

"The only reason why Karin does that is because she feels threatened. She thinks you're a threat."

"Oh god, another enemy. What gives dude? Like really? I have more enemies than I can count." Sasuke chuckled, "Well I'm going to practice every day at morning and afternoon practices and I will nail this shot."

"Well good luck. I'm sure Yamanaka, Tenten, and Hyuuga will help you." Sakura giggled, "And I asked my mom about transferring. The other guys did to."

"Oh really? What did they say?"

"Maybe."

Sakura looked up at Sasuke; he had his signature smirk on his face. She smiled up at him.

'I did it Sasuke!' She thought. Then she looked over at Karin.

"You don't need to feel threatened." Karin glared at her more intensely, "I'm not doing anything to you."

"Yes you are." She softly muttered then shot her head up at Sakura. It's a good thing that they had some distance in between or else Karin just might have murdered her, "First you take away Sasuke, then you take away my spotlight. What else do you want from me?" With that Karin walked away.

I guess what she said was true. When Karin figured out Sasuke was planning on transferring, she was boiling with anger. At least that's what Sasuke said. Before Sakura came into the picture, Karin was one of the best players in the nation. Then once Sakura became the center of attention for all media, she was downright pissed.

"Damn." Sakura swore. Then she walked down to where her teammates were and continued their game.

At the end Konoha won, 83-50. It was a big win for Konoha. Sakura and the team got changed and headed out to find their coach talking with Sasuke, Naruto, Shikamaru and Neji.

"Coach." Sakura called.

"Ah, you girls are ready? Get on the bus; I'll be with you in a little bit." Kakashi said. All the girls besides Ino, Sakura, and Tenten made their way to the bus. Of course not without giggling at the four handsome boys.

Sakura and the girls stopped and looked at their coach, "I guess we'll see you on the bus coach." Sakura said before looking at Sasuke who smirked then winked at her. All Sakura could do was roll her eyes and walk away.

Once the girls were out and onto the bus Kakashi turned and faced the boys. He knew that they were planning on transferring to Konoha next year and for he was the boys coach, he decided to talk to them.

"I look forward to seeing you on my court next year Uchiha, Uzumaki, Nara, Hyuuga." Kakashi said before turning and facing the doors.

"Of course." They all said. With that Kakashi walked out of the school and onto the bus. When he did, the bus immediately started and began pulling away.

"Dang, we didn't get to talk to them." Ino said as her and Tenten began a conversation about boys and the game.

Sakura smiled and occasionally joined the conversation, but stopped when her phone lit up with a familiar name on the screen.

Text message received from Uchiha Sasuke.

It read. She then opened it.

You looked gorgeous today; sorry I didn't get to say that to your face.

Also, transfer forms for next year? Complete.(:

Sakura smiled and replied to the text. This was going to be a long year, for she couldn't wait until next year. Her senior year.
