Disclaimer: I Do Not Own Naruto. ^ 0 ^

So…

Today is prom. And I'm going. Ino lent me this lavender dress, and it goes a little bit above my knees. And I'm wearing cream-colored flats with it. Some other girls are wearing flats since just 10 minutes in heels is a living nightmare.

And for my hair? I'm curling my ends. And my hair is pretty long. Like, to my waist. Call it waist-length hair. And, I'm going accessory-free tonight. Accessories aren't really my cup of tea.

Well, I have semi-good news. Shikamaru went to Canada (I want to live there!) to see his uncle. So, Ino and I are hanging out together tonight.

Well, with Hinata and Tenten of course! Hehehehe.

Okay, Ino said she'd pick me up at 9:15. It's only 9:10.

Five more minutes!

I'm kind of sad though. I'M DATE-LESS. Well, actually me and Ino are date-less. Hinata and Naruto are going together and so are Tenten and Neji.

So I guess me and Ino are dancing and drinking punch until 2 or 3 in the morning.

"Hello?"

"Are you ready? I'm out front in my car.

"Alrighty. I'm coming out." And I hung up.

I walk out of my house and I lock the front door than I walk and I get into Ino's car and she speeds off.

"Whoa! Ino are we racing someone?"

"No! I'm sooo excited to see Karin's hooker or prostitute dress!"

Whoa, I'm the only one?

We get there in minutes. There was, surprisingly, no traffic.

We park in the teacher's parking lot because everybody stupidly parked in the student parking lot.

We get out and straighten our dresses. And then we make our way to the gym.

We pass by all the couples who are standing outside near the gates. But when we get to the gym it's packed as hell.

Shino, the guy who likes bugs and the DJ for tonight, is blasting music like there's no tomorrow. And everybody is dancing.

"Oi!"

I turn around to see Naruto standing. "Guess what?" He grinned.

"What is it?" Ino said.

"Karin moved. TO CHINA!"

"SERIOUSLY?" Ino yelled.

"Yeah! Her dad got this awesome job over there!"

Somebody must love me up there!

"Ohemgee! My wishes came true!" Ino said and twirls around and accidently trips on her feet.

"Andddd, Sasuke's here, without a date." He raises his eyebrows simotaneously to me.

I look at him. "No."

"Sakura! This is your chance!"

"No."

"Come the hell on Sakura! Karin took him!" Naruto yelled.

"Actually, Naruto, he took her," I said. He gaped and said whoa.

"You saw him?" Ino sort of yelled.

"Yeah, like three days ago," I yell.

"I knew they got back together but I didn't think he went to her," Ino said.

People would've thought— since Karin's a slut— that she took Sasuke for herself. Boy, were they wrong. He took her. It's sooo sad just thinking about it.

"So," I start, "she's not here at all?"

"Nope." He said with a grin.

I'm kind of afraid actually. To, you know, talk to him. I mean when we had our mini-fight, he was pissed off.

What if he doesn't want to get back with me? Then what happens?

"What part of China-"

"Where did he go?" I said to Ino.

She cocks her head towards the punch table.

Fuck.

He's pointing at me and Sasuke has this unsure and constipated look on his face.

NOOOOO. THEY'RE COMING THIS WAY!

"Ino. Can we go to the—"

"No. I'm not going anywhere." She said and crosses her arms.

I don't really know why but something tells me I should look at the entrance doors.

So I do.

And Karin is standing there in this fire truck red dress that looks really snug on the fat roll area.

"Sasuke-kun! I'm here!" she runs over and hugs him and kisses him. Eww.

"Hey." He said after they kissed.

"Fuuuuuck." Naruto said and groaned.

It looked like a lipstick threw up all its red on her.

"It looks like period blood all over her," I said lowly to Ino.

Ino laughs out loud and everybody can literally hear her over the loud music.

She motions for Naruto to come over and everybody starts dancing again. And Naruto spits out his punch and laughs like maniac.

"Something funny Naruto," Karin asks with a frown.

He sobers up quickly and shakes his head.

She takes Sasuke to a more private place in the halls and the doors close behind them.

"Sakura that was hilarious!" Ino said giggling.

"It does look like period blood!" Naruto yelled.

"What does?" Hinata asks as she walks up to us.

"Karin's dress," Naruto answered and she giggles.

Kiba comes in the doors really fast and comes up to our group.

"Sasuke and Suigetsu are fighting." He said.

Naruto runs out and Kiba grabs my arm and runs.

Wait, why the hell is Kiba dragging me into this? I can't stop Sasuke from his evil side, only sometimes.

We get to the front of school and Sasuke's gone. But Suigetsu is sitting on the curb and Karin is crying.

"Where'd Sasuke go?" Kiba asked nobody in particular.

"He probably went home." Naruto said. "I can't get a hold of him." He says and pocketed his phone.

Ino and Hinata walks up to us and Ino whispers, "Why is Karin crying?"

"I have no clue," I whispered back.

"He hasn't come home? Have you called him?" Naruto asked. I couldn't hear the voice on the other line but it might be Sasuke's mother.

Naruto sighed. "Okay, thanks." He puts his phone away, "He hasn't gone home. He's probably at the park or something." He says and sighs again.

I think I'll go walk there, just to get some fresh air.

"I'll go walk there." I blurt out. Shit.

"Are you sure?" Hinata asked.

"Yeah, I have my phone in case of anything," I said and started walking.

"See ya Forehead!" Ino yells.

I wave without looking back and I walk out to the street. Surprisingly, it's not that cold. It's spring so the weather switches from hot to cold. And there's a light breeze that makes me feel comfortable when I'm walking.

When I get to the park I see him sitting on the swing looking at the ground. I walk to the other swing and sit down on it, there really close together.

"Hey," I said softly.

"…Hi."

"Why did you fight with him?" I asked and started to swing a little.

"It's nothing." He said.

"Come on, Sasuke. I always opened up to you. Can you open up to me?" I asked.

"…"

I always knew Suigetsu started fights but, he never fought with Sasuke. "Did you get hurt?" I asked.

"Not really…"

"Alright…" I say hesitantly.

We sat there for a few minutes until he broke the silence. "You went to prom?"

I clear my throat. "Yeah, I didn't have a date though."

"I was never into proms but, Karin dragged me there." He said.

Ah, so he was dragged there.

"I see…" I said and took off my flats. Damn it, I got a blister. "So… I heard that she moved to China…?"

"Yeah, her dad got his job relocated."

So what the hell is she doing here in Japan?

"What do you plan on doing after graduation?" he asked.

"I'm probably going to move out of here."

"Move? Why?"

I smile a little. "There's not a lot here for me. I need to start a new life."

He didn't say anything. I hope I didn't offend him. "You okay?" I ask him.

"I'm sorry." He said quickly.

"Why are you sorry? You didn't do anything."

"Yes, I did. I was stupid for going back with Karin."

Um… I have to admit that was pretty stupid.

"That… doesn't matter anymore. Who knows, she might become a better person every day. You two may be perfect for each other." I said.

"No, we're not the right match."

"You're not?" I asked him.

"No, not really, she doesn't make me happy." He paused. "You made me feel happy," he said and looked at me.

I stared at the ground.

"…I… I don't know what to say." I really didn't.

"I do," he said, "Can I go with you?"

Whoa. He wants to move with me?

"You want to come with me?" I asked him.

"Yes."

"Um, don't get offended but, why would you want to come with me?"

"I want to… spend the rest of my life with you…" he said.

I remember this girl saying, "Isn't he sweet?"

She said it to me in… eighth grade, when I didn't like him.

I nodded and said, "Like candy…"

So what I'm saying is that he's acting like candy.

Except, he's acting way sweeter than candy, does that make sense?

I blushed. "You mean that?"

He looked at me and nodded.

I look at my shoes because they look really interesting—

Okay, I admit, I'm nervous! He's never said that before and…

I don't know what to do…

HOW DO CELEBRITIES DO THIS IN MOVIES?

It's called a 'script'.

SHUT UP.

Say something! He's staring.

What the hell am I supposed to say?

Well for starters, something intelligent. You look kind of dumb right now.

"U-um, do you-" I stopped because I think someone is coming.

"Sasuke-kun, are you hurt?" Karin came up to us. Her hair is a little frizzy. But then, it's frizzy all the time.

"No," He said. "I'm fine."

She got him off the swing and hung onto his arm. "C'mon let's have dinner at my house!" She didn't even look at me. And Sasuke didn't look back at me or anything…

And I start to swing higher and higher cause it's not like anybody will be coming anytime soon…

"Hey, do you think I should get this?" Ino showed me this new clothing catalog she got into a couple weeks ago.

"Ino, you can't be serious." I said almost gaping at the catalog, "Three hundred and twenty four dollars for a shirt?"

"It's a nice shirt!" She protested.

"It looks like it'll rip if you try to-"

"SHOULD I GET IT OR NOT?" Ino yelled.

I flipped through my hairstyle magazine. "No."

"UGH!"

"Should I get this hairstyle?" I asked her while pointing to a girl that had light-blue hair.

"I don't know Sakura," Ino started. "Wouldn't it be too expensive?" She emphasized.

"Ino, your shirt looks like it'll rip in the box that it'll be shipped in." I looked at the hairstyle one more time. "I don't think hair can just rip apart in the salon."

"How about this sky blue dress from ," She asked.

I looked at the said dress and it's awesome. It goes about an inch above the knees and it has sleeves. It's only twenty dollars.

"Get it." I said.

"Yay!" She bought her laptop so she could order what she saw and 'desperately' needed for herself. She also brought her debit card.

I went onto my laptop and I went to the same website Ino is on. I click on 'new items' and something catches my eye.

My sweater! My sweater made in Canada! My Canadian sweater! I got it for fifteen dollars and it's on this website for forty five dollars!

What the hell? I WANT A REFUND!

"You look mad." Ino commented.

Oh, I'm furious. More furious than a Liger.

"Hey isn't that your Canadian sweater?" Ino asked eyeing the sweater.

"NEVER SPEAK OF IT." I yelled.

I'm not really into this chapter…

Sorry it's a tad bit late. I've been off for a week. Just watching re-runs of New Girl and watching all of the Star Wars movies. ;3

See ya! (REVIEW.)

(Or the Liger will eat your flesh.)
