"talking"

'thinking'


Sakura's POV

I never knew what it was about waiting outside of the principal's office; maybe it was the fact that just four months ago I was sitting in the exact same chair waiting to be yelled at by the exact same woman for interrupting my physics class... only this time there is no Sasuke with me. I was never a girl to get in trouble, I was the smart, shy, quiet girl in class; but now it looks like I'll be visiting this office a lot this year.

"Sakura, please come in."

'Well here goes nothing.'

Her office was the same as last time, as was the busty older woman herself, I waited until she returned to her desk and when she motioned to sit I did; waiting to find out why she called me here.

"Sakura, your mother and I have been talking frequently since July. I know you're pregnant... and I know that it is Sasuke's child. I've given you a pass for gym this year since you are in no condition to participate; I also wish to talk about the time you will be out of school."

I didn't miss the glare she sent when she mentioned Sasuke, but I think it was more of an 'I-knew-this-would-happen-sooner-rather-than-later' kind of glare... which wasn't any better really. "Yes, we think the baby will be born in late January possibly early February. Sasuke said he would hire me a tutor for the time I'm home; I can still take my classes and hopefully graduate with everyone else?"

"That is the ideal goal here Sakura, but I have to be honest with you here... you have a very tough road ahead of you; girls in high school can be very mean, when you start to show a little more they'll know... and you know Sasuke still has a very active fan club here, even if he's not."

I was uncomfortable with where the conversation was going but I knew she was only trying to help me. Sasuke and I have been preparing for this all summer so I think I was ready to handle it... I think. "Thank you Tsunade-sama, but I'm okay, I can handle it."

"Well I know how stressful high school is, I personally have never been pregnant, but I know it is tiring also... so I want to spend your gym class everyday in the councilor's office."

"The councilor's office! As in Jiraiya-sensei's office!?" I felt like I was going to faint, I didn't want to spend an hour a day talking to the most preverted old man on the planet. And the minute he realized I was pregnant he's going bug me to death to tell him every detail so he could put it in his next book, the whole time grinning like an idiot.

"No, Sakura no not him. Obivously he didn't help much during his class, no I meant Shizune, she would be more suitable for this type of meeting." I slumped back in my chair not realizing how tense I had become just moments before. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to scare you, nor did I mean to keep you this long, it's nearly lunch and you must be hungry."

My stomach had been growling for about ten minutes now, and I was craving the three rice balls I had made that morning, I had no clue I had been in there for a good hour now. "I am a little Tsunade-sama."

"Alright, well you may go; however, I would like to set up a meeting with Sasuke to set up a tutor."

"Of course, I'll tell him ma'am." I stood from the chair and quickly left the room before she could throw anything else at me.


I was getting a little nervous after school when Sasuke wasn't waiting outside like he said he would; I know it was really silly of me, he could be busy doing many things and just lost track of time. Still the longer I sit out here the more uncomfortable I became, I have already started hearing the whispers and I know rumors spread quickly in the school; no doubt in my mind that by tomorrow everyone will know my condition. I can feel their stares on my belly and I want to shield my unborn baby from their judgmental glares.

It's not the baby's fault this happened, they had no right to be mad at it, but just because it's Sasuke's child and I'm carrying it all the girls think it's the enemy.

"What do you vultures want!? Go home!" Ino appeared out of nowhere and began shooing the mob of girls away from me. "Sakura what are you still doing here? I thought Sasuke was coming to pick you up?"

"Oh yeah he's coming, it's his first day in class too, he probably lost track on time; I'm sure all the guys were nervous today."

"Yeah Shikamaru nearly slept in this morning; if I hadn't called him five times I'm sure he would have missed his."

I didn't voice my thoughts about the real reason as to why she actually was calling him because it wasn't to get him up for school; she still didn't believe he wasn't cheating on her.

"That was really thoughtful of you Ino, to do such a thing for him."

"Yeah I know, I'm such a good girlfriend, there's no reason for him to even think about seeing that blonde haired bitch. Thinking she can ta-." I was so glad Sasuke pulled up right at that moment, I was tired and didn't really feel like hearing her complain about whatever the other girl's name was.

"I'm sorry girls but I need to go, really craving a milkshake right now and I have to go make Sasuke get one for me... I'll see you tomorrow!" Hinata waived but I'm not sure Ino even heard me, she was so far gone in her own little world, but I didn't really care because that meant I could leave easier.


"What was that about?"

"Don't ask Sasuke, very long story. How was your day?" After I slipped into the comfortable leather of the passenger seat of his car, Sasuke tore away from the curb, heading for home. I immediately knew soemthing was wrong the minute I asked that question, I could see his grip on the stirring wheel tighten and his glare on the road ahead.

I thought Itachi contacted him about something, or he didn't like his class this morning. "Sasuke-kun... is something wrong?"

"Hn... it's nothing."

"If it was nothing, then why are you trying to strange the stirring wheel?" As I pointed that out he quickly released his grip. "Sasuke... tell me."

"... Karin is in a lot of my classes."


Note: Again another short one... sorry school just started up again. Now we know that Tsunade isn't that mad... sort of. The next chapter is going to be a few months ahead, near November December and Karin's going to back making Sakura's life a living hell.
