Sorry it took awhile. I've been quite busy and such. I got a few reviews for the last chapter and was so you to everyone who reviewed/favourited/alert
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto
Naruto stared deep into my bright green eyes, "Sakura, will you marry me?"
I was speechless. I had wanted this forever and was unsure of what to say. Hinata had suddenly appeared at the door. Her eyes filled with tears.
"Sakura, I thought we were friends." She suddenly turned into Ino.
"Sakura! Some friend you turned out to be!"
"I-I'm s-sorry! I didn't..." I couldn't speak properly. I watched as two of my closest friends turned away.
"Sakura" Naruto's voice sounded distant. I couldn't quite make out what he was saying, "Sakura get up!"
Huh? My mom? What was going on? I felt something ice cold hit my face. Water.
"Ahhh! Eww I'm all wet now!" I screamed as the cold liquid splashed me. I opened my eyes and saw my mother standing by my bedroom door. Naruto had somehow gotten there and
was holding the cup full of water. I glared at him. He smiled his gorgeous smile. My heart melted on the spot. I could feel a blush creeping upon my face.
"Sorry Sakura but I've been waiting for like twenty minutes." Naruto was oblivious to what he had just done, "Your face is kind of red. Are you sick?"
"Uh..." I thought quickly, "No I'm angry!"
"Well I'm sorry but if you don't hurry up, we'll be late for school." Naruto had backed out of my room, "So hurry up!"
My mom mouthed sorry and headed downstairs. I sighed and got up. My dream had been so real. I got ready in a flash. I grabbed my books and realized that my homework wasn't
finished. I stuffed the unfinished work into my bag and bolted down the stairs.
I ran into the kitchen to grab something to eat. Naruto was there at the table in his favourite seat. He was eating an unusually large mango.
"Umm Naruto, why are you eating that?" I was curious. Naruto never ate any fruits or vegetables.
"It's candy!" Naruto exclaimed happily. I shook my head trying not to laugh at my friend's gullibility.
"No Naruto, that's not candy." I couldn't hold it in any longer. I burst out into fits of giggles. Naruto looked from me to the 'candy'.
"It's not?" He repeated, "Then what is it?"
"It's a mango Naruto." I replied.
"What's that?" Naruto took another bite.
"It's a fruit Naruto." I watched his reaction. He glanced down at the fruit in his hand. Then he spit the morsel he had bitten out. It hit the wall and fell into the open garbage can. Then
Naruto bolted to the fridge and grabbed a juice box. He drained it in seconds.
"Eww!! I ate fruit! Gross!"
"Naruto, that juice you just drank was 100% real fruit, no sugar added." I pointed out between giggles. He looked horrified. He grabbed his bag and ran outside. I followed him,
shutting the door. Once we were well away from my house Naruto spoke.
"Why do you hate me?" He asked. I was shocked. I didn't hate him; I was in love with him.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"Every day, you always have some weird looking food that looks like candy. I always eat it and this always happens. Why can't you just put some candy in the fridge so that it doesn't
happen?"
"Well, for one, it's my house so I decide what I eat. Two, you shouldn't go into other peoples fridges for food without permission. And finally, you deserved it for pouring water on me."
Hey I may love him but I can still get mad at him.
Naruto was quiet for a minute, "good point. Alright then I'd say it won't happen again but odds are that it will."
"I know Naruto, I know."
We walked to school together, talking about the snow day and 's new outfit. Spandex gym shorts aren't a pretty sight. Well maybe if it were Naruto. No bad Sakura! Think about the
dream! Bad idea! We finally made it to school. Naruto waved good-bye and headed to his first class. I found Ino and we both went to History class. She was rambling on about some
upcoming concert. I just nodded, thinking about Naruto. Our teacher overheard Ino and separated us again. This happened every day. Honestly why don't they save themselves
trouble and not let us sit together? I'll never understand teachers. I sat at the empty desk by the window. It was going to be another boring class. I absent-mindedly drew little hearts
on my note book. Finally the bell rang.
Ino waved bye and headed to her next class. My next class was physics. I waved at Hinata as I entered the class. She smiled and sat at our usual seats. I sat beside her. On her left
was Kiba. He grinned at me.
"Hey beautiful." He winked at me. I rolled my eyes. Kiba could be such a flirt. I leaned across Hinata and lightly smacked him. He got the picture and stopped his silly antics. Hinata
giggled her nervous giggle. I smiled. No one knew about my little secret...Yet anways. I valued my friendship with Hinata and Ino so telling them was out of the question. I was staring
into space again. I don't understand it either. I never had a problem with paying attention. Now all I think about is Naruto. It's like an obsession.
"Sakura did you understand question four?" Hinata brought me back from my daydreaming.
"Uh well actually I never finished my homework." I replied.
"Oh." Hinata turned to ask Kiba. I sank back into my stupor. The bell rang and I walked with Hinata to our English class. Ino was already in the class. She was sitting at our usual spot.
Hinata went to sit behind Ino but I beat her there. She looked at me questioningly but sat beside Ino. I knew I was acting strange but I really needed to clear my head before talking
to them again. Ino attempted to turn around to talk to me but the teacher always caught her. She grumbled and turned around. The bell rang for lunch.
"Okay Sakura talk." Ino had cornered me in the cafeteria. I glanced at my tray.
"Can't we sit down first?" I suggested. Ino sighed and sat down. Hinata sat beside her. I sat across from them.
"Alright we are sitting. Talk." Ino looked serious.
"What do you want to talk about?" I asked curiously. Ino raised an eyebrow.
"C'mon Sakura you can't think we don't see you acting all funny. The snow day you were blushing like crazy and Hinata said you were blushing during physics too. What is up?"
Oh crap. They noticed. I thought quickly. What do I say? Shoot!
"Oh umm well..."
"Aha! I got it! You are in love!" Ino burst out. I grabbed her arm.
"Not so loud Ino!" I whispered.
"I was right wasn't I? So who is it?" Ino leaned in to her my answer. Hinata looked curious too. At that point Naruto sat beside me.
"Hey guys or girls...whichever you prefer."Naruto grinned. Hinata blushed and said hello. Ino brushed him off.
"So who is it?"
"What?" Naruto looked at me and Ino.
"Sakura's crushing on someone but she won't say." Ino explained.
"Really?" Naruto looked interested. Oh crap. What do I say? Egh! This isn't fair! I glanced at all their nosey faces and tried to think of an answer to please everyone.
"Umm it's ah...Kiba." I thought of the first guy that came into my head, next to Naruto of course.
"Oh My Gosh!" Ino jumped up and down excitedly. Hinata smiled like she knew all along. Ugh this so wasn't fair. I looked at Naruto. He looked...sad? I must have hurt him with my
answer. If only he really knew. I felt like crying. Life isn't fair!
The rest of the day flew by. Naruto hardly spoke to me. It hurt. I didn't think my answer would hurt him so much. We walked home together but Naruto didn't stay. He mumbled
something about homework and flew home. I did my homework and ate supper in silence. I washed up and went to my room. I pulled my diary out of its hiding spot.
Dear diary,
Where to begin? Today started out like normal. Then it all went downhill. Ino got me to admit I have a crush and Hinata was there and Naruto. So I lied and said I liked Kiba. KIBA!!!! Ugh!!!!
Now Naruto is upset and I can't do anything to help him. I can't just say I love you Naruto but lied because Hinata loves you too! He'd never believe me and Hinata would hate me and Ino. Well
who cares but life sucks!
-Sakura
After I finished venting I fell asleep still silently crying.
