Chapter 9

Sakura continued with her Sunday routine. Kakashi appeared on his usual table at the usual time, the girl really didn't mind serving him, she was in too much of a good mood to care about who saw her. Naurto came into the cafe at about 12'o'clock, although she was expecting Sasuke, Naruto had someone else with him. A tall man, with white hair, but Sakura was too busy with other customers to serve them.

This was going to be the last week of school, the last few days she had left. The girl rolled out of bed, she was early this morning. The sun shone through her partially open curtains, 'it's such a lovely day' the girl thought. The pinkette climbed into the shower, and ten minutes later stepped out and into her clothes. She was so relaxed; she had honestly never been so at peace.

Ino began her routine banging on the door, Sakura opened, happy to see her friend and itching to tell her about what happened over the weekend.

"Forehheeadd" The blonde greeted her with a smile "Sooooo, what happened? I heard you had a run in with Naruto"

"How did you kno-"

"Sai, of course"

"Well, you seem to be talking to him a lot, anything you want to fill me in about?"

Ino grinned; "Well, while you were caught up in your own love life, I managed to get myself a few dates with Sai!"

"Ino! So what? Are you dating now or something?"

The blonde looked over triumphantly at Sakura "Pretty much"

Had the girl really missed that much of her friend's life while she was mixed up in her own? Both of the girls laughed at the weekend's events as they continued walking to school. Both of them knew this would be one of the last times they would get to do this, so they took their time walking to school.


It was now Thursday night, Sakura had stumbled in from work. Her relaxed mood had continued for the past 4 days, it seemed like nothing could annoy her. Not yet anyway. She sat on her bed and sighed. The girl hadn't had any trouble from Naruto or Sasuke; in fact it had been quite the opposite.

Naruto had followed her around on Tuesday, carrying her books and having lunch with her and Ino. She'd been flattered by the gesture and found that he was getting easier to talk to. Sasuke however, was still just sending a few nods her way whenever he saw her. She didn't mind but she was kind of confused, if you liked someone, you'd at least talk to them. But she supposed that was his way of showing that he liked her.

Kakashi was being as normal as ever. Emotionlessly, reading his book as the kids fell asleep to the drone of his voice. But Sakura managed to stay awake; it was strange, ever since that detention, she'd seen him in a completely different light. The fact that he actually took her seriously was so flattering that her face had gone the same colour as her hair. Or maybe it was the sudden realisation that he was actually really handsome, that had kept her awake. Which left her wondering how many people had thought something similar, not many she supposed, he was still their teacher after all. Well only for a few more days.

The girl slowly fell down face first into her pillow, one day left.


This is the shortest chapter ever, honestly but I needed to end it to get onto the next bit so...

Reviews would be handy, you know just saying :3

I wrote it while having breakfast, so I was eating the entire time.
