So….. I finally have an update.

Between work and school I haven't been able to write a lot. Haha…. No excuse I know. But Now that I have a new laptop (I which I needed for over a year now) I am trying to get back to writing. So hopefully I will be updating more. Haha….Also working on a few different stories at a tine probably isn't helping. But now, I want to get back to doing what I like, which is writing. This story is really different from what I usually like to write which is one of the reason way I started writing it. I took one giant step out of my comfort zone, just to see if I could.

The next time I saw Itachi was at lunch. I don't usually sit at his table because he sits with all the seniors and I sit with the juniors so when I say see I mean just that. After I grabbed my food from the lunch line I went over to my table where most of my friends were sitting. Tenten, Ino, Naruto, Sasuke and Garra were there. I walked up to them and gave a "Hey" shout.

"Hi Sakura-Chan." Naruto returned with an excited tone.

"Hey, Sakura." Tenten and Ino said at the same time.

"Hi" Garra said.

And of course I got nothing from Sasuke. But I ignored it and sat down pretending like I didn't notice that he had completely ignored me. "How was everyone's classes?" I asked after I took my sit next to Naruto.

"It was Horrible! I know I completely failed my History test!" Naruto screamed. Before anyone else had a chance to say anything, Itachi walked over and looked down at Sasuke before he said anything.

"Hello Sakura and her friends." Itachi said in a polite tone.

"Hey! We have names, you know." Ino replied.

"Hmm... I'm sure you do. Sakura, I was wondering if you would like to join me and my friend over at our table for lunch?" Itachi asked me

"No, she would not! She's sitting with us! So you can just go back to your "cool" friends and leave us alone." Ino and Naruto answer at the same time for me before I had time to say anything. Itachi glanced over at them and then acted like he never heard them. When he kept standing in the same spot not moving, I could only assume that he was waiting for me to respond to his question.

"I'd like to Itachi, but I'm sitting with my friends today. Can I sit with you guys tomorrow?" I asked him.

"Of course, the offer will always stand for you, whenever you feel like it" Itachi said to me.

"Thank you." I replied with a smile. As he was walking away I saw Sasuke give him a glare and Naruto mumble something that sounded like "stupid best friend stealer".

Sasuke looked at me and said. "So how long have you guys been going out?" First freaking words he'd said to me in a while.

"Oh. My. God. You can talk to me. I didn't know that was possible, Sasuke." I was still annoyed at him for ignoring me so much lately.

"Whatever." Was his wonderful response.

"Sasuke, can you ever have real conversations with people?" Tenten asked him.

I tried my best not to laugh, but Naruto didn't. He was laughing his head off. "Haha. Tenten, that was awesome. And no, he can't." Naruto said between laughs.

"It's not that I can't. It's that I choose not too." Sasuke replied coolly.

"Sasuke, stop being childish. Would it even matter if Itachi and I were going out or not?" I asked him.

"I'm not being childish. And maybe." Sasuke said back to me.

"Well, we are. Later." I said to him.

"YOU GUYS ARE?! Why?!" Naruto yelled at me.

"Whatever." Sasuke said, walking away from the table.

"What's wrong with him? " I asked everyone at the table. Instead of answering, my friends just stared at me like I was crazy. "What? I'm serious. I really want to know if there's something bothering him." I told them.

"Sakura... you're blind." Ino finally responded.

"What is that suppose to mean?" I was totally confused.

"Nothing. You'll see. Anyway, I say we head off to the rest of our classes. They start in a few minutes." Tenten said.

};- .

Walking down the hall to my History class, I saw Sasuke walking in the same direction. I wanted to find out what was wrong with him earlier at lunch, so I walked faster to catch up.

"Hey Sasuke!" I shouted to get his attention. He turned around at the sound of his name and looked at me.

"What?" Sasuke asked in a irritated tone.

"I just wanted to ask you what was wrong with you earlier." I said to him while we kept pace with each other.

"It's none of your business." Sasuke responded.

"You don't have to have an attitude. I was just wondering." I told him.

"Yeah, well you don't have to date my brother. But you are. I feel almost bad for him." Sasuke said with a smirk.

"Yeah... Well don't, because he doesn't seem to mind being with me considering he asked me out." I said to him. He was really annoying me. First he ignores me for days, then he has a horrible attitude with me, and now he says what a bad person I am to be with. If there was an asshole of the year award, he would win it in a heartbeat.

"Well maybe he just has low standards Sa-ku-ra." Sasuke said to me. I couldn't believe he said that to me. For a second I felt like crying, or punching him in the face. I was torn between the two.

"Okay Sasuke. If I'm such a bad person than you don't have to bother talking to me. You really didn't consider me your friend that much anyway. So bye, Sasuke." I turned away from him and walked into my History class holding back my anger and tears.

When school was over, I walked over to Itachi's car to wait for him so that I could pick up my car at his place. I was still upset about Sasuke and what he said. But for the rest of the day I hadn't seen him at all, which was a little weird because I usually see him in two of my other classes. I couldn't say I cared completely though. He was an ass to me and I didn't plan on talking to him anytime soon, if at all. I had to wait about ten more minutes before Itachi came out and was walking toward me. Seeing him reminded me of Sasuke, which in a weird and unfair way made me want to punch him in the face just for knowing and being Sasuke's brother.

"Hello Sakura. How were the rest of your classes?" Itachi asked me politely.

"They were fine. How was yours?" I asked him back.

"Good. Is something wrong? You seem to have a sad look to your beautiful green eyes." Itachi said to me in a almost caring tone.

"I'm okay, I just had a fight with your brother earlier." I told him. That way if I was unable to stop myself later and I did punch him in the face, he might in some way understand it was because of his brother and him being connected to him. I hoped.

"Ah yes, I had noticed Sasuke's mood had been worse. I didn't think it was even possible. But he wouldn't talk to anyone, not even his loud yellow-haired friend who kept trying to get him to tell him what was wrong. I would have asked him myself what was wrong, but every time I went too close to him he seemed to get this look between wanting to kill me and wanting to torture me with listening to Guy-sensei talk for two days straight about youthfulness." Itachi told me.

"You're brother's an ass. Are you ready to go home, or do you need to stop anywhere?" I asked him.

"You do not like my brother? No, I'm going straight home. We just need to wait for Sasuke. I'm giving him a ride home too." Itachi said with a weird smile on his face.

"If your brother is coming than I think I'll walk home. It's not that far. I'll stop by your house to pick up my car later." I said to him.

"Don't be ridiculous Sakura; you're coming with me to pick up your car. I'm sure we are all mature enough to ride in a car together." Itachi stated.

"Yeah... well... Some of us are." I said. Two minutes later Sasuke came walking up to the car. The second he saw me though, his face got this look between hurt and angry.

"Little Brother, are you ready to go?" Itachi asked Sasuke.

"Yeah, sure. Hey Sakura..." Sasuke started.

I wasn't sure why now he chose to talk to me, when in a semi-nice way when he has done nothing but ignore me or days. I honestly didn't know what to do. A part of me wanted to say "hey" back and hope that we could be friends, but a bigger part of me just want to turn away from him and get in the car. The bigger part won. I looked right past him, turned around and got in the back seat of the car. Sasuke looked away and then got in the car.

Itachi, not sure what was wrong, got in the front seat and started up the car. Itachi turned the radio on to help with the silence that filled the car, but did nothing else to help with it. Halfway to their house, Itachi decided to open his mouth.

"So Sasuke, is anything wrong?" Itachi asked him in a semi concerned way.

"No." Sasuke responded.

"What's wrong is your brother is an asshole." I answered in the Itachi.

"Oh, really? Sasuke, what did you do this time?" Itachi asked him with hummer in his voice.

"Shut up, Sakura is just being childish." Sasuke Grunted.

"Childish! I'm being childish! I told me that your brother had low standers because has wanted to go out with me!" I shouted maybe a little too loud at Sasuke. After i shouted that Itachi stopped the car so fast and turned around to give Sasuke this disbelieved look.

"You said that to Sakura Sasuke?" Itachi asked even through he already new the answer. Sasuke at least had the decency to look a little ashamed.

"Yeah... I said that." Sasuke mumbled. Itachi let out this big sigh.

"Sasuke, just because you are jealous that i am taking Sakura out and not you Does Not give you the right to Ever say something like that to her. Do you understand me?" Itachi told him all bigger brother like.

"First off, I am Not jealous of anything you do whether it has something to do with Sakura or not. Second off you can not tell me what to do and expect me to just listen to you." Sasuke said.

"Apologize to her now." Itachi ordered him. I was starting to feel like one: they had forgotten me and two: they were no longer fighting about me but about their own younger brother to older brother issues. I thought it was time that I said something before it got to out of hand.

"Hey, guys it's fine. Itachi I don't want an apology from Sasuke, i wouldn't expect even if he did. And Sasuke...You're still an asshole. Now that we all understand that, Itachi can you keep driving so that I can get out of this car and into my own." I half told, half asked. I waited for one of them to say something, hell, anything. But they just kept glaring at each other.

"Okay, but we are not through talking, Sasuke." Itachi finally said. After the car started again all I could think about was how stupid guys were and why I bothered with them.

When we finally got to Itachi's house I couldn't wait to get out of the car away from the both of them. They were both acting childish in their own way. I opened the car door, looked back at both of them and had the strong urge to shake my head at them. Instead i just waved my hand at them and say.
"Bye guys, see you at school tomorrow." I told them.
"I will walk with you to your car Sakura" Itachi said.
"You don't have to do that. I'll be able to find my car myself, thanks." I told him in what i hoped was a please-leave-me-alone- voice.
"Bye Sakura." Sasuke surprisingly said from the back set. I wasn't sure if i wanted to say anything back to him, or just ignore him like he's been doing to me for the past few days. But i realized i'm not like him. So i looked through the back car window and said
"Bye" Before walking away and ignoring Itachi getting out of the car to "walk to my car with me" I'm so sick of guys. I was starting to think that going with Ino shopping wasn't such a bad idea. Jeez i must have been losing it if i thought that. I was just about to open my car door when a shadow fell over me. My only guess was that it was Itachi. That guy needed to take a hint. But the voice that brushed against the back of my ear was not Itachi's.
"Sakura, i wanted to talk to you. Can you turn around, please?" Sasuke asked me in a nice voice. I thought about opening the door and getting into the car completely ignoring him. But a part of me couldn't do that. Damn my niceness. I turned around and looked him in the eyes.
"Sasuke, there is most likely nothing that you have to say that i want to hear." I told him trying to say it as nice as i could, but at the same time putting some attitude in it.
"Look, i know what i said was wrong. And i'm... Sorry. Itachi doesn't have low standards. I was just mad. No, I was fucking pissed!" Sasuke said I couldn't understand why he would be so mad. That i know of nothing happened to him. Also, a part of me was wondering where Itachi went. When i looked back at the car he wasn't there. So i guessed that he went in the house. Apparently he could take a hint, It's his brother that needed to learn how.
"Really? You were mad? What made you so "Mad" that you felt the need to take it out on me. You wouldn't talk to me for Days!" I shouted at him.
"I wasn't mad, i was fucking pissed. Remember." Was he smirking while he said that?
"Is some part of this funny to you?" I asked him
"Maybe. Look Sakura, when you asked me out i didn't know that i was just a name off a list of guys that you plan on asking out. When i figured that out i was a little pissed." He told me in a serious voice. When i thought about what he said he was right to be mad. If some guy asked me out and then all these other girls i would be pissed too. Did he also sound a little jealous too through?
"Sasuke you're right. I'm sorry, i shouldn't have asked you out and then right after that ask other guys out. The thing is i have never had a boyfriend before and when i told Ino i was thinking about getting one we thought up guys for me to ask and see how it went with them. This whole dating thing is new to me and i have no idea what to do. It's becoming both annoying and too much for me." I told Sasuke in what felt like one breathe.
"Wow, i see. Well rule one in dating, don't go around asking random guys out and Not except some kind of trouble to happen." Sasuke said
"Yeah, i'm starting to understand that rule pretty fast i think. Look, i really am sorry. And you do have every right to be mad at me. I'll leave you alone at school and not bother you." I said to him trying to make up for being a jackass to him.
"You don't have to do that. Are you still going to go out with my brother?" Sasuke asked
"Yeah, I already told him that i would." I explained
"Alright i guess. See you at school tomorrow. Bye Sakura." Sasuke told me as he started to walk to his front door. Did he sound sad?
