Chapter 4
"Hey Naruto have you seen Sakura today?"
"No…why?"
"She wasn't in my first or second period class."
"She's probably just sick or something…she'll be back tomorrow…don't worry about it."
"If you say so."
The next day
She did come to school the next day, her typical short sleeve black shirt replaced by black hoodie. The weird thing was that it was hotter than usual today. Humidity filled the air and you could tell that it was going to rain. He didn't comment on it though. Instead he decided to ask her:
"Why weren't you here yesterday?"
"I had a headache…"
"Oh…so I'll see you at lunch?"
"Um…sure…see you then." She closed her locker and pushed past him, wincing as her shoulder came in contact with his. He ignored it and walked towards his gym class, knowing that he only has one more period till lunch.
Lunch
She was at the table when they got there. "Hey Sakura!"
"Hey Naruto…"
"So how was Science?"
"I'm not sure…"
"Did you fall asleep again?"
"No…Look Naruto I just have a lot on my right now…so just please leave me alone." She got up and left without another word.
"I wonder what's eating her?"
"I'm not sure but can you go find out?"
"Me? You're her best friend. You go ask her."
"She'll just get mad at me again. Please Sauske…"
"Fine…you don't have to beg." He stuffed his hands in his pockets and walked out off the cafeteria to find Sakura. Sasuke walked down the hallway towards their lockers. As he was about to turn to corner he heard someone crying…he turned to corner to see Sakura sitting on the floor under her locker and rubbing her arm where he bumped into her earlier.
"My shoulder isn't that hard…Is it?" and he sound of his voice she got up from where she was sitting and turned away from him. "Sorry if I hurt you…I didn't mean to." He walked towards her shaking form and reached for her but as if she knew he was approaching, she took one step away from him and then ran towards the bathrooms. "Sakura!"
She could hear him calling her but she also knew that if someone found out about the incident two nights ago, he would be in trouble. And she couldn't bear to lose anyone else
