La Li Ho~ MushiMonsters here with a new chapter of In Denial. I'm gonna be honest again that I was too lazy too write anything. It's just been so hot these days. Anyways there's not much to say really so enjoy the chapter.

Before I forget I'll be adding a little NaruHina too. Though there maybe a bit more NaruHina then SasuSaku so yeah.

Disclaimer: I Do Not Own Naruto and blah blah blah


Naruto P.O.V

Homeroom was boring, Iruka-Sensei just kept on saying what the principle said in the assembly. The only difference was the expectation for us. My head rest on my desk as I observed the people around me. I turned back too see that Ino was doing her nails, Chouji was eating, Shika was fast asleep. Shaking my head at the three I turned my head to where Lee and that sat.

Lee was listening to whatever Sensei was saying, Shino was just sitting there while Hinata was reading a book. I stared at her a little longer than necessary. The girl isn't really my type, but I will admit that she is a beauty. She'd make a perfect wife to some lucky fellow.

I never noticed how long I was staring until pearly eyes landed on my cerulean eyes. She looked at me and blushed a red color. I gaze her a smile and she smiled back. Shyly turning too look out the window. I was still staring at her and she looked back at me. Her cheeks still the same shade of red. I was so bored that I started making silly faces. She looked at me weirdly before giggling softly. I chuckled a bit and made some more silly faces. She ended up joining in and started making funny faces with me.

I chuckled at some of the faces she made. I looked over at Sakura too see that she had an irritated look on her face. I chuckled nervously and looked away. My eyes went back too Hinata too see that she was still looking at me. She mimicked me and put her arms on her desk, laying her head on her arms. We just sat there, staring at each other and I couldn't help but smile.

I was very oblivious to the fact that onyx eyes of my self declared rival were glaring daggers at me. I felt a shiver down my back and turned my head to look at the angry onyx eyes. He was glaring at me and I felt a shudder. The guy was intimidating, I had no clue as to why he was glaring at me so I glared right back. He gritted his teeth and managed to increase his glare, growling lowly.

I increased my own glare and sparks were pretty much flying between us from the glares we were sending each other.

'What is this guys problem' I thought.

"Naruto are you listening?" I hear the voice of my Sensei and looked over to the angry brown eyes. I gulped slightly. Iruka was not someone to mess with.

"Um yeah" I replied lamely. The class had their eyes on me.

"What did I say before then?" He placed his hands on his hips and narrowed his eyes.

"Ahhh... Naruto are you listening" I say back. The whole class started laughing and Iruka started glaring at me, it didn't help that, that Sasuke guy was still glaring at me.

"Naruto you really need to improve your listening skills. Detention after school" I hear a few people snicker at that remark. I found it unfair how Sensei called me out but not Sasuke. I grumbled and laid my head back on my arms. Sakura was shaking her head at me while TenTen just sat there amused. Kiba was still laughing at my reply.

I looked back over to Hinata and she smiled at me and gave me a thumbs up. I nodded slightly and turned my head back to the front. Just waiting for that bell to ring so that I could out of here.

The bell had finally rang and I had my first class of the day.

I looked at my timetable for the day, happy that there weren't so many classes. Only about six. Though, Maths, P.E, English, Science and Social Studies we had to have. While we got to pick 2 different courses for ourselves. I chose Drama and Music.

Homeroom - Umino Iruka. Room 3, 9:10 - 9:20.

Maths - Sarutobi Asuma. Room 10, 9:20 - 10:50

Break - 10:50 - 11:10

P.E - Maito Gai. Gym, 11:10 - 12:05

English - Hatake Kakashi. Room 7, 12:05 - 1:00

Lunch - 1:00 - 1:40

Science - Yuuhi Kurenai. Room 8, 1:40 - 2:30

Drama - Mitarashi Anko, Performing Arts room, 2:30 - 3:20

(A/N: This is pretty much the same times as my school. The timetable changes each day out of all 7 courses that you have to do. If your not doing one class one day, you do it on the next).

I found it pretty cool how the classes aren't the same everyday. I was a little bummed that I didn't have Music today, but I was happy that I had it tomorrow.

I had Maths with Sarutobi Asuma and I had no where to go.

I looked around and spotted Hinata packing her things. Sakura had already left with TenTen-Chan.

"Hinata" I called out. Said girl blushed heavily.

"N-N-N-Naruto-Kun" She stutters.

"Neh. Do you know where room 10 is. I got Maths with Sarutobi Asuma" I say.

"I d-d-d-do t-t-to" She says.

"Really that's great" She nods. "Can I see your timetable" Without a word she hands me her timetable and I was surprised to see that we had almost the exact same timetable. We've got almost every single class together. Well it does make sense, I did hear that everyone in our homeroom class were going to be in all the same classes, except for the options we chose.

I noticed that Hinata had chosen Art and Japanese.

I raised my brow but didn't say anything. Silently handing her timetable back. I was going to choose both Art and Japanese as well, I've been told that I'm pretty good at Art. I would've chosen Japanese but that course was too easy since I already know how to speak Japanese. Though I have a little trouble writing in Kanji.

I follow Hinata out the door too our classroom. We shared small talk here and there, she wasn't much of a talker, so I mainly did all the talking while she listened.

I was hoping that I could walk with Sakura though, I mean, Hinata's a great friend but I really wanted too walk with Sakura. Oh well.

We walk into class and I see everyone in my homeroom class already there. Sakura and that were up in the front. My self declared rival who I haven't officially met yet sat at the back looking cool. We catch each others gazes and I swear that he was picturing my murder in his mind. I looked pissed off at me for some reason. I shrugged it off and followed Hinata to where everyone else was.

"Yo" I sat down next too Kiba.

"You are such a player" Kiba says as I finally took my seat. Shikamaru and Chouji were sitting in front of us.

I raised my brow. "Why?" I say. Confused as too how I am a player.

"First Sakura and now Hinata. Tsk, Tsk Naruto" He shakes his head. I glared at him.

"It's not like that. Me and Hinata are just friends. She was helping to class, that's all" I replied honestly. He looked at me with a sign of doubt.

"Ah-huh. Then what was that in homeroom" He says.

"What was what?"

"You were staring at her"

"Was not" I defended myself. Okay maybe I was.

"Liar. I saw you two staring at each other and making silly faces at each other. I also saw the both of you resting your heads on your arms while just staring at each other and smiling here and there" He says in a matter-of-fact tone.

I blushed "Was not" Was my lame reply.

He laughs. "I will say this again. You my friend are such a player" He pats my back and continues to laugh. I punched him in the shoulder.

"Shut up. I was bored and as I said before, Hinata is just a friend" I defended myself.

"Ah-huh. Whatever lets you sleep at night"

"Asshole" I mumble while he just laughs.

Sasuke P.O.V

I clenched my fist in anger. I was angry that he was staring at her, I was angry that she was staring right back. She should be making those silly faces with me, not him. What made it even worse was that she actually SMILED at him. She has never smiled at me before!. Okay we barely talk too each other, but still.

I sat in the back row of Asuma-Sensei's class sulking. I will admit that I am jealous of how that guy got the girl of my dreams too react like that.

I looked over to the door and saw how both him and her walked in while casually talking. That done it, I saw red and glared at him. But not just any glare, oh no. The Uchiha death glare, a glare that promises murder. And one Naruto whatever his last name is happens to be the victim. I pictured his murder over and over in my head. He seemed to have gotten the message and glared back.

I noticed that he just shrugged his shoulders and went to sit with the others. I gritted my teeth, I wanted to go up there and smash his face into the desk. I listened in on that Kibi- whatever his name is and Naruto's conversation.

He was talking about Naruto being a player between Sakura and Hinata.

'That little shit, how dare he play my innocent little sisters and the girl of my dreams heart' I thought angrily. Two of the most important girls in my life being played on by some, some player.

Now this is more of a reason to make him my rival. Oh I can't wait for P.E today, I hope we play dodge ball and that me and Blondie are on opposite teams.

"Sasuke, your scaring me" I hear Suigetsu's voice and turned my head to glare at him for interrupting my glaring at a certain blonde. He gulps and waves his hands in defeat.

"Sasuke stop sulking. It's not good for the skin" I hear Neji say. I looked over at him and rolled my eyes. Neji's always been like that when it comes to looks. I swear he's more of a girl than a boy.

"Whatever" I grumble. Still sulking a bit.

"What's wrong" He asked.

"Nothing"

"I know you Uchiha" He threatens with his eyes narrowed.

'Well, might as well tell I dig his cousin' I thought.

"I like your cousin Hinata" I say bluntly, but quietly so that only he can hear. To my surprise he nodded.

"Continue" He says in a calm manner.

"Your not gonna yell at me or anything" I asked with a raised brow. He sighs out loud.

"Sasuke, I've known you for a while now and I know that your a good guy. Plus I already know that you like Hinata and I approve of you liking her" He says lowly so that only I could hear. I was startled that he already knew that I like her and looked at Juugo with a accusing look.

He simply just looked at Suigetsu and I turned my head towards him and glare. He laughs sheepishly and rubs the back of his head. "Hehe, it might of slipped out" I groaned while he continues to laugh sheepishly. Trust Sui and his big mouth.

I looked over to the blonde too see that he was still talking to that Kibi guy. I looked over too my dream girl to expecting her too be reading, but to my horror and frustration she was staring at that stupid blonde idiot dobe.

I went but to my sulking.

"Let me guess, you hate the fact that she probably has a crush on that new guy and your jealous that they've been smiling and making silly faces at each other. While also just simply staring at each other in home room, am I correct" I hear Juugo speak in a calm manner. He was spot on there. Due to my quietness he took that as a yes.

I glanced over at Neji too see him seething and mumbling to himself. "How could Hinata-Sama like someone so.. so irresponsible looking, I bet that new kid is trouble, he SCREAMS trouble. Also he sat Sakura on his lap. Oh he is dead, a dead man for playing with my sweet innocent cousins heart. Yes, Yes, He is dead... I must find a way to get rid of the corpse without getting caught... yes yes" I smirked, Neji was such an over protective cousin that people thought that Neji was in love with his cousin and that the two were dating.

Asuma-Sensei finally entered the classroom. Looks like he finally finished his smoke, It's no secret that the man is practically a chain smoker. You can see him having one at the back where all the smokers are, Asuma-Sensei is the only teacher that doesn't tell the kids off for smoking since he does it himself.

And it's a well known fact that the guy sometimes loans a smoke off some off the other kids here, and sometimes he gives them a smoke or two or he buys them a packet.

Why the principle will hire such a man is unknown. But then again there are a lot of messed up teachers in this school. Like my favorite sensei Kakashi, yeah I will admit that the guy is my favorite since he's better then all the other lunatic sensei's. Kakashi is a carefree man who's known for his tardiness, he's always late for classes. He'll either be there 10 minutes after the bell, or 10 minutes before the bell for next period. He also reads porn in class.. like literally. While were working he just pulls out a porn book and reads it in front of the class. The guys has some bad traits, but he's still my favorite since he's the only one that actually understands me.

"I see a lot of new faces and some faces that I have seen before" Asuma says while smiling. "Well, then, I best introduce myself. My name is Sarutobi Asuma, you may call me Asuma, or Asuma sensei.. Any questions" He says. No one responds so he just nods his head and tells us to introduce ourselves.

Another reason why I like Kakashi-Sensei better is that he doesn't bother with the introductions. He's pretty much just like.

'I won't bother with introductions since I'll get too know you during the year' And then does that eye smile of his. Yeah that's Kakashi for you, If you know him well enough that's code for. 'To be honest I don't really care'.

Once everyone was done Asuma started talking about what were going to be doing this year. Pretty much the same as last year which to me is a bore.

-Time Skip-

"Man that was boring. I thought Asuma-Sensei was going to be a bit cooler considering the fact that he sometimes buys us smokes" Suigetsu says. I nod in agreement.

Yes, I do smoke, though not as much as Asuma or Sui. Asuma probably goes through a whole packet a day while Sui has.. around about 4 or 5 a day. While I only have about 1 or 2 a day.

I noticed Sakura walking with Ino while eating a bag of lollies. Shaking my head I chuckled at the sight, I still remember the day she first got into her lolly habit, and from then on it never stopped. Honestly, now that were older I thought it would stop, but it hasn't

FlashBack - I know you love em *wink wink*

I was waiting in the lounge for my best friend to come over. Me and Sakura would go to each others houses every morning to pick each other up and have breakfast. We would eat and then either my mom or her mom would make us some lunch to take to school. I sighed, waiting patiently for my best friend.

My dad walked into the room and glanced at me for a bit. He nodded his head while I nodded back, that was a greeting between me and him. I've never really lived up to dads expectations. Don't get me wrong, I know he loves me while I love him, It's just that dads never been great when it comes to loving a family. I don't blame day though, His mommy and daddy were very strict on him.

Though I've noticed a change in my father, he acknowledges me more and more each day.

"Sasuke" He says.

"Yes"

"Come here" My father says sternly. And I'm wondering if I'm in trouble or something. I cautiously walk over to my father and gulp, praying that I wasn't in trouble. My eyes widen as he kneels down and opens his arms awkwardly, glaring at the ground because he thinks he's doing it wrong. I giggle a bit a ran into his arms. He awkwardly pats me on the head while I hugged him.

'This is nice' I thought. Happy that I finally get a hug from dad. Mother walks in a smiles. Giving dad a thumbs up.

"Fugaku, you know your supposed to wrap your arms around the boy right" Mother says in a teasing manner while I pull back and giggle. Father grumbles a bit before scooping me into his arms and hugging me. He lifts me up and I laugh, seeing a very faint smile on his lips.

"Well, well, what do we have here" I hear the voice of my older brother. Uchiha Itachi. Father puts me down and I run to my older brother, Itachi lifts me up and I smile at him.

"Nii-San" I say happily.

"Good morning otoutou. Are you waiting for Sakura?" He asked. I nodded eagerly while Itachi laughs. I looked over to see that father looked too be sulking about something while Itachi smirks.

"Whats wrong with dad?" I asked.

"He wants to get more involved with you and start acting like a an actual parent. You know, hugs" Itachi gives me a big hug while I laugh. "Kisses" He places sloppy kisses all over my cheeks while I giggle and wipe them off. "That sort of stuff" Itachi put me down and I pout, I maybe 7 but I like being held by my aniki.

"But why?" I questioned. He's never done it before, so why now?.

"As I said before. He wants to get involved with you, mother and I have been teaching him how to be a proper parent" Itachi states. To be honest, Itachi has been more of a father to me since I was a baby. Mother told me stories about how I would always cry for Itachi, even if mother was holding me.

I hear the door bell ring and beam. Itachi pokes my forehead and I pout before running to the door. Sakura stood at the doorway with her mother.

"Hey" I greet.

"Hi" She beams. Her mother and my mother talk a bit before Mrs Haruno takes her leave.

"Hello Sakura-Chan" Mother says.

"Good Morning Mrs Uchiha" Sakura says politely. Mikoto chuckles and ruffles her hair a bit, Sakura blushes, she's still not used to my mother doing that.

"Hello Sakura-Chan" I hear my big brother say with a smile as we walk into the lounge.

"Ohayo Nii-San" Sakura says while running up to Itachi. Itachi picks her up while Sakura giggles a bit. The first time Sakura met Itachi she was scared of him, but after seeing how awesome my big brother is she wished she had a brother. So Itachi filled that roll, I pouted at that though since Sakura considers Itachi to be her brother while I'm just her best guy friend.

-Time Skip-

After finishing breakfast we both leave the house with the lunches mother made. We walked hand in hand to school talking about random things. Sakura told me that her mother gave her money and that she was going to go and buy something at the shops. We went down to the dairy and Sakura brought a few packets of lollies.

From then on Sakura would buy lollies everyday before school.

"Sakura why do you always buys lollies?" I ask my best friend. While chewing on the lolly she gave me

"I wanna make it a tradition" She says.

"Tradition, for what?" I asked. Curious as to what could be happening in that 6 year old head of hers.

"Our friendship" She exclaims happily.

"Why?"

She shrugged her shoulders while eating her lolly. I shook my head at her antics, she came up with the weirdest ideas. She still brought a whole heap of lollies.

Flashback end.

I still can't believe that she still buys the lollies though. I don't know whether or not she still thinks about that tradition of ours or it's out of habit. The lollies were a symbol of our friendship, we buy then everyday together since it meant something to us.

The lollipops were our special lollies, every month we would eat a lollipop on the day we first met. She would eat the blue since it was my favorite color while I ate the pink since it was hers.

Come to think about it, it's our friendship anniversary. I glanced back at Sakura too see her taking out a blue lollipop. She looked at it sadly before popping it into her mouth. The guilt builds up again as I watch her eat the blue lollipop.

I shoved my hands in my pockets before walking away.

"Yo Sasuke, let's head to the back. Asuma just got me a pack of smokes, I wanna have a quickie before break ends" Sui says. I nod me head and follow him to the back.

Once there, he tosses me a smoke and the lighter. A light it up and pop it between my lips. No matter how many times I've done this I'm still not used to the stench.

"You look a little gloomy. What's wrong?" Sui ask. I glanced over at him before sighing.

"Anniversary" I spoke. I know that he knows what I mean when I say that.

He nods before taking a puff. I watch as he reaches into his pocket looking for something. My eyebrow raises, my eyes widen slightly when a pink lollipop was tossed in my direction. I looked at it as if it were some kind of poison or something. "Come on dude, you've been moping about your guys friendship forever. If you wanna be friends with her again, might as well start of small" He says, taking another puff.

"Look I appreciate it, but I just can't. I know that she likes me and all, but I can't" I say.

"Dude, get over it, it's all in the past" he says.

"I can't! Every time I get close I remember that face she made. The hurt in her eyes and the way she feel to the ground, crying and practically begging me too come back. That face has haunted for the last 9 years. I just- I just can't okay" I say angrily before taking a puff. It's quiet for a moment before Sui finishes his one and puts it out. He walks past me and stops.

"You can't, or you won't. There's a difference Sasuke" He says seriously before walking away. I just stood there, not feeling in the mood too smoke I put it out and stalk off. His words linger in my head.

I know there a difference between can't and won't. I'm not stupid. I stopped, growling at the fact that Sui is right. I kept saying I can't, when really I can but I just won't do it.

I guess I was just scared that she won't wanna be friends again, she'll probably want to be more than friends even though I just don't see her that way at all.

"Lolly-Chan" I hear the loud voice of that new kid. I hid behind a rubbish dumpster to see that he was talking to Sakura. "Can I have a Lolly" He giggles while I rolled my eyes.

"Fine" She says before giving him a gumball.

"Thanks" He chirps.

"Naruto, What options did you take" She asked.

"Music and Drama. Why?"

"Just wondering. Besides, I have to courses too" She says casually while twirling her black skirt. A habit she has when shes nervous.

"Cool, then we can walk together" That guy exclaims. I rolled my eyes again and shoved my hands into the pocket. Pulling out the pink lollipop in my pocket and just staring at it. It brought up so much memories of how we would only eat them when it came to our anniversary. I unwrapped the wrapper and popped the sweet into my mouth.

'Be cool, Sasuke, be cool. You can do. Just tell her you want to talk' I gave myself a little speech before emerging from my awesome as hiding spot and heading over to where Sakura was.

Sakura P.O.V

After Ino ditching me and Kiba ditching Naruto, we ended up just hanging out with each other. Just small talk here and there. It was then that I saw Sasuke come up to us and I panicked. Praying that my hair was perfect, and that my make-up didn't look like a mess.

He came closer and I froze. A sad look was no doubt etched on my face, in his mouth was a pink lollipop. Our symbol of our friendship. I felt like crying. Maybe, just maybe the old Sasuke will come back.

"Sasuke-Kun" I say shyly since I haven't talked to him in ages.

"Can we talk" He glanced over to Naruto. "Alone" I felt my face head up and my breathe hitch.

Sasuke Uchiha, the most popular guy in school, want's to talk to me. Me. Sakura Haruno!. Kyaa.

"S-sure." I mentally scolded myself for stuttering. "Sorry Naruto" I saw. He just smiles and waves while me and Sasuke walk off to who knows where. The bell sure is taking it's sweet time to ring, not that I mind though.

We walked over to where the rooftop is and just stood at the stairs. It was awkward. My heart was beating the entire time.

"How have you been" He asked nervously.

"G-good. You?"

"Good"

It became awkward again.

"How's Itachi" I asked.

"...Good" He says quietly.

"Um-" I was cut off by him

"I'm sorry" I widen my eyes. Sorry for what?

"For-" I never got to finish again.

"For ruining our friendship" He says with guilt written all over his face. I nod my head, he smiled sadly while I gave small smile back. He was quietly sucking on his pink lollipop. I giggled a bit. "What?"

"I remember how much protesting you did about eating a pink lollipop"

"Hn" he turns his head away while I laugh. He face turns back too serious. "Look Sakura, about what I said back then. I didn't mean it, I guess I was just angry. I was stupid back then. I wanted to go apologize but I couldn't, I felt so guilty" He looked down. I felt like crying, in fact I think I was since the next thing I knew Sasuke was in front of me, wiping away the wet tears on my face. "You always looked better without the make-up" He says while I blush.

"Um-" OK seriously, the guy has to stop cutting me off.

"I wanna be friends again" He announced. I had to hold the wall so that I didn't fall.

'Did I just hear right. He- He want's to be friends again' I swear at that moment in time my heart stopped beating, my eyes were so wide I thought they were going to pop out.

"Wha-" I say. Not sure if I heard right.

"I want to be friends again" He says again. Now I know my heart had stopped beating for the moment. Memories of our childhood came flashing back to me. My eyes landed on the pink lollipop casually sitting in his mouth. "Sakura" His smooth voice cuts me out of my thoughts. I shook my head.

"Okay" I say. Grinning from ear to ear.

'Sasuke want's to be friends again! Yeah! first friendship, and then... LOVE' I did an inner squeal at that thought. I've seen it in movies far to many times. A boy and a girl.. friends, eventually feelings begin to grow between the two and love forms. They say that love between best friends is the best kind because it will last forever.

Okay cliche I know. But it's what I believe.

At that moment the bell decides to ring and I sag my shoulders a bit.

"Wanna walk to the gym together" He casually ask with his hands in his pockets. Looking all cool and stuff.

"Old habits die hard" Inner says.

"Shush you" I say to her. Not realizing that I said it out loud. Sasuke raises his brow.

"umm-" He says. I wave my hand in front of his face.

"N-not you. I w-was.. just.. talking to myself" I laughed awkwardly. It doesn't help that he's staring at me funny. He shrugs it off and ushers for me too follow him.

The walk to the gym was quiet and my heart was hammering in my chest as we walked. I could hear whispers around us. Girls wondering what kind of relationship I had with Sasuke. I did a little happy dance inside and smirked a bit.

"Does your mom still work at the cafe" I hear Sasuke ask.

"Eh? Ah yeah. She's manager now" I said. He nods his head. I remember when we were younger, when Sasuke would come over mom used to take the both of us to her job and we would help out with the cleaning. Yeah she was a cleaner back then, though she wanted to do the cooking. She would often give me and Sasuke some off her pay for helping her out. Though Sasuke used to always try and give it back, but my mother was so stubborn that she would insist that he kept it.

"That's good to hear" He paused for a bit. "What about your dad. He still a carpenter?" He asked. I smiled sadly.

"No"

"What happened"

I was quiet for a moment before I decided to tell him. "On the job, an accident happened. One of the screws were lose, resulting in the whole buildings collapsing. Dad tried to save some of his work mates. He knew it was risky, but they were all safe." I stopped for a while. Sasuke glanced my way before looking back up. We made a turn. "While trying to save the last member, his left arm and leg ended up being crushed" I said sadly.

"... I'm sorry" Sasuke says.

"No. It's not your fault" I reassured him with a smile. He ruffles my hair. "Hey, you gonna ruin my hear" He chuckles before ruffling my hair even more. I began to panic. "Ahh! Cut it out. My hair's gonna get ruined" I tried my best too slap his hands away and mess his hair. But failed since he was taller than me. Which was so unfair. "Okay okay I give" I sighed. He stopped the assault on my hair and chuckled. I pouted before straightening my bangs to the way they were before.

"I see you still have that bow that Ino gave you" He says. Pointing to the red ribbon in my hair.

"Yeah" I say.

"How is she anyway?" He asked. Sasuke Ino and I were close as children. Though my relationship with Sasuke was stronger since we would constantly visit each other.

"She goods"

"She still the same loud mouth I remember" Sasuke jokes. I snort.

"Yeah. But she's still the same good friend" I say.

"That's good" He ruffles my hair again before we enter the gym and laughs. I panic and start yelling at him for ruining my hair.. again. He escapes into the boys locker room to get changed for gym. I sulk before making my way into the girls locker room. Hoping to find Ino there.

Luck seemed too be on my side as Ino was chatting away with TenTen. I made my way over to the two. I couldn't wait to tell Ino the good news.

"You look happy" TenTen comments. "Did Naruto ask you out already" She teases.

"No" Was my simple answer.

"Then why are you so happy" Ino butts in. She's never liked not being included in a group talk.

I smile. "Sasuke wants to be friends again" I squeal. TenTen gapes at me while Ino's eyes were as wide as mine when he declared that he wanted to be friends again.

"Are you serious" Was TenTen's answer. I nodded eagerly.

"You can even ask him yourself" I looked at the two and they gave me a weird look. "Aren't you happy for me" I ask.

"Ah.. Yeah. We are" Ino says with less enthusiasm. "But. If he does what he did before-" I cut her off.

"He won't. I know he won't" I say with a determined look. I know for sure that what happened before won't happen again. I don't know if our relationship will be as strong as it was before. But I'm hoping that this is not all a dream, that I won't wake up only too find out that Sasuke doesn't want to be my friend again.

"Alright then" Ino says before her and TenTen go back to talking about whatever they were talking about.

The three of us headed out into the gym waiting for our sensei to come.

"Lolly-Chan!" I hear that loud voice and I sigh out loud. Turning around I came face to face with Naruto. Our noses slightly touched, blue staring into green. I blush and quickly move back, he scratches his head nervously. "S-sorry about that" He laughs sheepishly.

"It's alright, What do want?" I found myself asking. Though I wasn't meant too sound rude and all, but I was curious as to what he wanted.

"I was wondering if we could walk home after school" He asked casually.

I sigh. "I don't know Naruto I mean-" He cut me off.

"Come on Lolly-Chan. Pleeaassee" I was about to say no when I looked into those blue eyes of his. The way they looked at me, I just couldn't say no.

"Fine" I say. He smiles. "But your buying me a pie after school" I say with a nod. He sighs but agrees. I know that it's not healthy, but I can't help it. The mince and cheese pies there are so good.

"That's so unhealthy for you" He says. I punch him lightly in the shoulder. He winces and nudges me, I rolled my eyes and nudged him back. He smirks and pushes me a little, I bit back the smile and pushed him back. Back and forth we kept pushing each other until we started chasing each other around the gym.

We were both laughing so much that we never noticed that all the eyes of the students were on us. Most of the girls looked on in envy, running past a few I overheard a girl saying how she wished she had a boyfriend like Naruto. I blushed and slow down a bit, Naruto caught up and nudged me. I snapped out of it before chasing after him, laughing loudly.

I saw Sasuke staring at us with a small smile of his face. I flush and quickly look away, focusing on my goal of chasing Naruto and pushing him. Wow that sound wrong.

All of a sudden a loud whistle was heard throughout the hall and we turn to see Gai-Sensei. I ended up bumping into Naruto and to my horror we both fell to the ground. Me on top of him, while he groaned a bit in a pain at the sudden weight.

We stared at each other for a moment. I was frozen on the spot.

"Now, now children. As youthful as showing off your love to the world, we still have a lesson to do" Gai says with his signature thumbs up. I quickly scurried of Naruto, some people were laughing at us while others were whispering. I walk over to Ino and TenTen and they both smirked at me. I rolled my eyes at them. I looked over at Sasuke too see him smirking as well.

He mouthed. 'Have fun' I glared at him and he chuckled.

Ashamed that he witnessed that. Naruto had it worse since Kiba and that were whistling and clapping him on the back. I couldn't help but giggle.

I stood at the sidelines with the girls waiting for Gai's instructions. I hate P.E.

"ALRIGHT YOUTHFUL STUDENTS. IT IS TIME THAT WE PUT ALL OUR ENERGY INTO" He reached into his bag and pulled out what looked to be a- "DODGE-BALL" He grins and I groan.

Correction, I hate P.E. Kami-Sama, please take pity on me. I thought to myself before lining up with the rest of the class. Oh well, here's to another year of failing P.E.


And cut. Phew. Yeah, it's longer than the others. But it's only fair since I've been to lazy to actually write anything so I'd thought I would make it up to people by writing a longer one. Does know how long it will take for me to write the next chapter. As some of you may know that I'm a very lazy person. Yeah, yeah, it runs in the family.

Anyways, umm, if you can, maybe check out my other story. It's called 'Capture'. It's a SasuHina pairing with some GaaHina. NaruSaku is also involved in it. So if you have time, maybe check it out. If your bored, or you like the couple, or you feel sorry for me.. lol.

Oh yeah, and starting from next week. I might not be able to be on here as much since school is going to be starting up again. Only 2 more years left and I'm out of there. I still haven't received my results for the exams. Hopefully I won't have to repeat and that I will pass this year, please wish me luck. So yeah.

One Love, MushiMonsters out.

Peace
