Disclaimer: If I owned Naruto, things would be different. Much different… However, I do not.
Chapter 3
After what seemed like an eternity, the bell finally rang for lunch. As everybody stood to leave, Sakura looked down at Shikamaru, who was still sleeping. Sakura gently rocked his shoulder, waking him up.
"Huh?…" Shikamaru said groggily, looking around. Seeing that class was over, he packed up his things and proceeded to go to lunch. "Hey," he called out from behind him.
"Yeah?" Sakura answered.
"See you at lunch?"
"Uh…" Sakura looked over to Naruto, who was getting his things, as well. "Yeah. I'll be there." Shikamaru, seeing that his question has been answered, left the classroom.
Sakura looked over at Naruto again, who was starting to leave as well. "Hey, wait!" she called out, stopping him.
Naruto halted, hearing Sakura call him. His grin turned into a smirk, seeing that she wanted to talk to him. 'Heh, she likes me. I can tell.' Naruto had also noted on what she was wearing, since he interested her so.
She was wearing a V-neck red short-sleeved shirt with a white long-sleeved shirt underneath. The red shirt had green writing that said in cursive, "Cherry Blossoms". She also wore blue jeans and pink and white tennis shoes.
'Then take her for God's sakes!' his devil commanded.
'You know we're not supposed to use God's name in vain,' Naruto taunted to his demon side. All he heard from him was a growl before he turned quiet.
"Uh… the name's Naruto right?" Sakura asked, standing behind him.
"Yeah. And you are?" he asked, turning around with that smirk still on his lips.
"Um… I'm Sakura. Sakura Haruno," she said, blushing as she looked down. "But, um… since you're new here, I was wondering if you wanted to eat lunch with me and my friends?"
"Sure," Naruto said, shrugging. "It'd be nice to meet some new people anyways."
Sakura nodded her head. "Cool. Follow me then." Sakura then walked out of the classroom, Naruto following right behind.
:) :p ;)
"Hey Sakura, who's this? A new boyfriend?" Kiba asked smugly as the two sat down.
Sakura immediately blushed. "No. This is Naruto. He's new here and I decided to be nice and invite him to sit with us for lunch."
"So… who is everybody here?" Naruto asked, looking at the people sitting at the table.
"Well, this is Kiba and his girlfriend, Hinata," Sakura asked, pointing at the two sitting next to each other. Kiba just smiled big and waved while Hinata shyly waved at him.
'I've read about these two in the world's documents. Hinata's clan is one of the richest, but her cousin is a vampire. And Kiba… his family's rumored to be werewolves,' Naruto thought as he smiled back at the two.
"And you've already met Shikamaru," Sakura continued on.
"Eeh…" was his reply.
'His family herds deer. Also known to be very lazy, and if I remember correctly, his girlfriend was taken by Sasuke,' Naruto commented in his mind.
"And last is Chouji and Shino." Chouji was too busy stuffing his face to even answer while Shino was just staring down at the table, not speaking. He didn't even have a tray in front of him.
'Shino's family is has one of the world's biggest insect collection, might even be able to communicate with them, and Chouji's family owns pretty big-top restaurants,' Naruto thought as he looked at the two. 'I've read these people because they were… well, more interesting than most humans, not to mention Kakashi made me. I can't believe Sakura is friends with them! Speaking of Sakura…' Naruto looked over at her, who was busy eating herself. 'The only exciting thing that happened in her life was her best friend being taken by Sasuke.'
"Hello all my youthful friends! How are you doing, on this great day?!" Lee exclaimed, sitting down on one of the free seats.
'Rock Lee. Loves youth. Enough said,' Naruto thought boringly.
"Naruto, this is one of our other friends, Rock-"
"Already know," Naruto interrupted as he began to slurp down his ramen.
"Um… how? I thought you were new here?" Sakura asked, confused.
Naruto stopped, coughing some on his noodles. "Uh…" 'Crap! I let myself slip!' "Well… how couldn't you know about someone with as much youth as he has?" Naruto said, hoping it would work.
"Why… thank you, my newest friend!" Lee said happily from across the table.
'Whew. That was close,' Naruto thought as he mentally wiped his hand across his forehead. Lunch after that went peacefully, and soon the bell rang, and everyone got up, saying their good-buys to each other as they each headed for their own class.
Naruto watched as Sakura got up to throw her food away, then leave. "Hey Sakura!" Naruto called out, getting up from his seat.
"Yeah?" she asked, turning around. 'Sweet! He wants to talk to me!'
"Yeah. Well, I was wondering, if you don't mind, that we could… do something after school," Naruto asked, adding a scratch to the back of his head to make it seem like he was shy.
"Sure! I-I mean… sure. That would be cool," Sakura said, stopping herself from acting too excited.
Naruto chuckled. "Good. So, I'll meet you outside afterwards?"
Sakura nodded. "Sounds good."
Naruto chuckled before walking closer to her, leaning in to whisper in her ear. "Heh heh… I can't wait," he whispered, his breath sending chills down her spine. And with that, he was gone
Sakura's face turned completely red, his voice still ringing in her ears. She turned around, looking around the now empty cafeteria. "What the… Where did he…" she thought aloud to herself before sighing, heading quickly to her next class before the bell rang.
The latest chapter is here! So, did you enjoy? Sorry it wasn't that long. I'll try making them longer in the future. Sasuke was supposed to be in this chapter, but it didn't happen. -sigh- Anyways, leave a review & I'll try to get the next chapter up soon!
