I woke up, screaming. That dream again. It had been coming to me every night, each night longer and longer. And the worse part was, I never could get myself out from the dream; unless it wants me out.

Sweat beads starting forming on my head, thank goodness my parents wasn't home. Right now, they were most probably tanning themselves in some beach. I didn't really quiet care though, I was used to it anyways; they didn't need me and as so, I don't need them too. As long as they provide me everything I need, I was okay with it. Sure, I missed them sometimes and I wanted them back but, what could I, Sakura Haruno do? Nothing. That was for sure.

I continued to sit there, staring at my bare wall. Ever since I was small, my wall has been bare; moving house to house it was always the same. I groaned as I slowly dragged myself off the bed and went for a shower. Once again, it was Friday and that another boring day in school. At least after today, there will be 2 days of relaxation. After doing what was necessary, I grabbed my car keys and headed for my Audi TT RS.

Literally, I hauled me and my books towards my class homeroom. Seems like I was early, as always. A tiny sigh escaped from my lips. The best I could guess was that my body still needed rest from that countless nights of nightmares; it really stressed me out. I glanced at the clock hanging on the class wall, 7.15 A.M... Still 45 more minutes to go. I rested my head on my hands which were on the table.

A few minutes passed and a shadow formed in front of me. A small, clak came from the front as the chair was sat on.

" Sasuke..." I whispered and looked up. He smiled, or what at least looked like a smile. Sasuke was the only one there for me, the only one I could ever talk my heart out too. But... I looked at him in the eye, those indistinct eyes I always looked at...

He was only a friend.

"Sakura." My name left his lips and into my ear. I looked away.

He was only a Shadow friend.
