Ahhh so sorry for not updating in days! I've got so much things to do for school, this book essay for Writer's Craft class, preparing some food for catering and lasagna for this Friday's Honours Lunch (which I am going!), and being with my buddy and helping her get through a couple of stuff.

I really suck at explaining things but please feel free to use your imagination and I love quiches. yummy

Best Friends and Soft Orange Shirts

By sushicakes

I feel the malice in my veins
My heart swells with hatred in your name
And when you've got nothing to turn black and blue
You've still got Hell to look forward to

School is boring. Have I ever mentioned that? I mean yes I have my friends but my God it's so boring. To help with my boredom, I got some latest gossip from Ino. Apparently Tenten and Neji were caught by his parents from sneaking out to this hotel and well, you know. And some other random gossip about people in the art program and other people in school. I'm so glad to have Ino as my best friend; she always tries to make me happy whenever I'm feeling down. It's like we got some sort of best friend senses, like Spider Man. Blond #2, Naruto has been bugging me about finding the right tux for tonight's event. I told him to just wear that cute black one he has and with tie or no tie.

Sasuke has been busy lately which really sucks but even if we were to talk, it seems like he ignoring me or hopefully just tired. I care about him, I really do but what the feelings I got from him a couple of weeks ago, feels like it's not there anymore. I just really want to get to know him more. Shaking off these thoughts, I wondered why am I even bothering, I mean linking up everything it seems like he has lost interest in me.

"Sakura, how come you're sitting here all by yourself?" I looked up to see who it was and it was definitely someone I didn't want to see at all. "What's wrong? Cat got your tongue?"

"Fuck off Sai."

"Guess what?"

"I don't care."

"Well, I'm going to your mom's event tonight," he put his hands on my chin and lifting it up as if he was about to kiss me, "I hope we can, well, reconnect the right way."

"No."

"Why not? Is it because of Uchiha?"

"Don't you dare talk about him."

"Oh? He's your boyfriend is he? He seems like…" he paused and looked at me with those blank eyes, and I felt his other hand on my back, "like a replacement of me, is he?"

"HE WHAT?"

"INO PLEASE STOP YELLING!"

"SHUT UP TENTEN! SAKURA HERE IS IN TROUBLE!"

"Guys…"

"WELL DUH. THAT'S WHY I BROUGHT MY GU—"

"TENTEN!"

"WHAT SAKURA?"

"Uh that was Hinata…"

I looked at my best friends talking about my situation, all trying to figure out a way for me to still attend the event and not be visible to Sai or else he'd so something to me.

"You definitely have NO feeling towards who-must-not-be-named, RIGHT?" Ino turning towards me.

"After what he tried to do to me? HELL NO!"

"Sakura… what are you going to do?"

"I'm not sure."

Ino's POV

As we are all getting ready, I excused myself to call the guys to make sure they remember where the event is held at. That's what I told Sakura but really, I'm calling someone else and telling him everything she told us. I can't see my best friend get hurt by that guy who we all once called a best friend.

End Ino's POV

People are talking too much. It's like a room full of Ino's and Naruto's, just talking about fashion and ramen. There's talk about this and that or how this person made another million just by eating a hotdog… freaking strange ass people. My mom asked me to look after a few things which I happily agreed since I want to make tonight a success without any interruptions. Trying not to get drunk from the champagne that was going around, I ate some quiches to make sure it soaks up some of it. Walking around and greeting a few people, I spotted a similar raven hair boy, quickly putting the glass down, I ran towards him.

"Sasuke, hey."

"Hey."

"So glad you came! How is everything?"

"Everything's good…"

I felt as if he didn't want to talk to me at all. I tried to look for the right words to say to him but all I could come up with is, "Are you looking for someone? Naruto?"

"Uh yes…"

"Oh, he's probably with the other teens in the south hall in room B. Do you want me to—"

"No."

"Forehead! Oh em gee, these are so good!" Ino showed me the tea biscuit and it looked like as if she never ate or saw one before.

"Haha, yes it is. I thought you were in room B with the others?"

"Oh I was but then I came in here, stole a bottle of champagne and got some these yummy things!"

"Oh wow… okay well, let's head over there since my parents finally gave me the pass."

"YAY! I LOVE YOU SAKURA-CHAN!"

Sasuke's POV

I walked into the room B and saw a bunch of students from school just lounging around and drinking. Some stupid annoying fangirls were grabbing onto my legs as I tried to walk around to find someone. I heard dobe rambling about ramen kingdom and how it—damn him talking about it so much whenever we eat dinner, basically remembering every single word. I finally heard the voice and pushed a few people that were leading me towards it, finally reaching; I could see him taking a shot of vodka and having some girl on his lap, kissing him. I pushed the people around the table and grabbed his collar causing the girl to fall off, and I punched him in his right eye. As I tried to catch my breath and watching him slowly get up.

"YO! What the FUCK was that for?"

"What do you think? SAKURA."

I punched him in the stomach. He tried to block by grabbing my wrist but failed. Someone had pushed the table away since there was much more space around us. We could hear people shouting and stupid fangirls chanting. I could see him lifting his fist and throwing it at me but luckily I got out of the way. I had so much anger in this guy, trying to rape Sakura who called him her best friend for years when she even said no and stop. Feeling so much more anger within me, I charged at him, knocking both of us down. I heard Naruto yelling at me to stop but I ignored him. Punching Sai in the face twice, he grabbed my shirt and punched me right in my left cheek. I laid down on the floor as he hovered over me and punched me a couple of times in different places. I tried to slowly get up but Sai pulled out a small knife and before I could do anything else, I saw a pink blur.

End of Sasuke's POV

As Ino and I walked into the room, we could hear some people shouting "fight fight fight!" and stupid fangirls chanting. We both ignored it since it's probably some stupid drunks but seeing as I didn't want to disappoint my mom and ruin everything because of this, I walked over. Pushing through the people who were in my way, I could see Sasuke and Sai on the floor, both bleeding and injured. I don't know what to do. I could feel everyone looking at me and thinking the same thing. Without any hesitation, I went to Sasuke's side and held him as I asked someone to go and get at least two first aid kits and call the ambulance. Luckily, there was a classmate of mine who is here to help bandage up Sai as I bandage Sasuke up.

As I held his hand in mine, looking down at his face and sweeping some strand of hair off his face. He looks at me, grips my hand, closing his eyes, and I started feeling scared. I started to cry and holding his hand even harder but trying not to injure it more.

Don't go.
