VALLED, PeaceMakerxHandgrenades, Princess of blah blah blah, AmethystGal07, Anmari Rin Suna, Akasuna no Akane, AkatSaku, Cherry-chan14, and LittleMissHippie...

I LOVE YOU! hahaha. reviews. AWESOMENESS.

chapter eleven.

"Ugh. Boys."

"I know. It's too bad that murder is illegal."

"I think you're more violent than I am, Temari-chan!"

"Is that a good thing...?"

"You know, I'm not sure."

"Well. That's reassuring."

EFF.

I'm being stalked. By mini Gai-sensei twin.

Oh noes!

He won't freakin' leave me alone!

I swear. If he could, I would probably find him following me into the bathroom so he could have another go at asking me to the dance.

I mean, the first time he tried was over the internet, and I said no.

But then... he decided to go up to me at school. And that, my friend... must have been the most awkward moment of my life.

"SAKURA-SAN!"

"Uh... hi?"

"I wish to ask you something!"

"Um, okay?"

"Wouldyoupleasegowithmetothedance?"

"Um. I'm sorry. Could you repeat that? But slower? And quieter?"

"I'm sorry, my dear flower. But I was wondering... if you would come with me to the dance."

Silence.

Snicker. Snicker.

"I told you last night, Lee-san. I'm sorry, but no."

"Ah. Are you already going with someone?"

"...uh -"

"I knew it! Who must I compete against to win your love, Sakura-san? I will do anything!"

Oh fucking fail.

"HAHAHAHA!"

"Oh shut up, you blonde idiot! It is not that funny!"

"HAHA! YES... HAHAHA! IT- HAHA! -IS!"

"Shut the hell up or I will beat your face in. I mean it."

"Aw. Come on, Sakura-chan, lighten up!"

"Dobe. Shut up."

"What the fuck, teme?"

"Oh my god! Not this again! Sasuke, hun, babe. Don't you dare even think of responding."

"...hn." (My translation- Yes, dear.)

Sakura: girl. you have got that boy whipped.

Ino: hahaha. don't tell him that. he'll deny it. (but we all know it's the truth.) ;)

Sakura: hahaha. so true. miss piggy wears the pants in this relationship.

Ino: but of course, babe.

It was now October twentieth, and there were only four days til Homecoming.

I still hadn't gotten anywhere with Neji, considering that Tenten was a procrastinator.

But!

I shall prevail!

I was like super stoked for Temari though. She had asked Shikamaru. The dork, who is supposed to be a genius, nearly passed out when she asked him.

Yes. He was that shocked.

I, of course, started cracking up whenever I saw him the rest of the day. So much that the boy was getting aggravated.

And yes. I was that amused.

Sucks for him.

Teehee.

Sadly, as of now, Tenten and I were the only ones without dates. Now, Tenten's dateless status I planned on changing soon (mwahaha). Not that she knew of my secret awesomesauce plan entitled: "Get Rid of YOUR Sexual Tension: Neji and Tenten Style."

Nope. She was still quite clueless on that part.

HAHA.

Anyway. Oh. Why do I not have a date? Well, dearie. The answer is quite simple.

Yeah, no. I spent days tying to figure it out.

I lost sleep over it. Yeah. Something's wrong when I can't sleep.

The point I'm getting at, though, is that fangirling when done for a good reason is really not all that bad.

If you catch my drift.

No?

Simple, yet hard to wrap my head around.

I liked Gaara. And after spending all that time in denial, I knew I had a problem on hand.

He was arrogant. No doubt about that. He had a horde of rabid fangirls who would gladly tear me apart limb from limb slowly. He was an antisocial prick/asshole/all-around dick.

But he was also sweet when he wanted to be, loyal to his friends, he's remarkably protective, caring to those he cares about, and as an added bonus, was sexy as hell.

Girls were a big no-no to the boy, however.

But yeah. I am happy with just being friends with him.

Sakura: panda-chan. panda-chan. panda-chan. panda-chan.

Gaara: what. the. hell. panda-chan?

Sakura: what? i can't call you raccoon-chan! now THAT sounds awkward.

Gaara: wtf? raccoon?

Sakura: yes. raccoon.

Gaara: what the hell are you going on about?

Sakura: you remind me of a panda! and a raccoon. but yeah. panda-chan sounds way cuter.

Gaara: cuter?

Sakura: yes. cuter. is such a girly word not in your vocabulary or something?

Gaara: shut up.

Sakura: i sorry?

Sakura: panda-chan?

Sakura: gaara, damnit. answer me!

Sakura: did i like injure your male pride or something?

Gaara: shut. up.

Oops. Oh well. He'll get over it.

...eventually.

Temari: ohmigosh! ohmigosh! ohmigosh!

Sakura: what? what?

Temari: gaara got a date!

Sakura: huh!? to what!?

Temari: to the dance, silly!

Sakura: oh! haha, oops. that's great!

You know, I hate when life does this to you.

I mean, really.

When life fucks you over, it really fucks you over.

Which is why, right now, I feel like shit.

With an empty feeling in my chest.

And it's staying there for a while, I think.

VALLED- teehee, the dress thing was taken from my own experiences... hahaha.

PeaceMakerxHandgrenades- i've been told that my story has caused a few people physical pain. i'm SORRY! hahaha.

Princess of blah blah blah- i know! i always seem to abuse poor neji-kun! hahaha.

Anmari Rin Suna- wow. that is a smart dog. haha, i have a fatass cat. yeah... he not smart. haha.

Akasuna no Akane- haha, those were my favorite parts to write! hahaa, and so they are. we were talking about men being idiots in my english class today. haha, the teacher brought it up, and i thought i should share that he is a guy. it's nice to know that some men accept that their gender is unevolved. =D

AkatSaku- okay, so yeah, i check my email from my phone right? and when i read your review, i full on squealed and jumped up and down. i swear. your review made me happy. in fact, so happy that people looked at me weird. but tis okay, haha. =D well, see, tiny spoiler, they aren't going together... but the dance is important to their relationship. ;) thanks for calling the structure perfect! this is basically my life there. texting and facebook, hahaha. yes, i tend to fangirl as well... i think all girls have. haha. gaara has to be my favorite character. not just in the series, but he along with sakura (cuz duh, i'm writing in her point of view, haha), are my favorite characters to write. YAY! =D

Cherry-chan14- ahaha, my guy friends love to play that game with me. see how much they can irritate me until i finally hit them. hahaha. lovely friendships i forge, right? hahaha. thanks for taking the time to review though. =)

LittleMissHippie- epic WIN? REALLY? YAY! i love this! haha, i'm sorry this chapter actually came out much later than i planned, but hey. school's back in session. haha, enjoy!
