Chapter 11:

Hate, love…same difference.

Rina walked into the class with Sakura trialing her. Sakura gat all the curious looks asking 'what the hell happened?' She also got all the glares for ruining there precious Sasuke's face. All she had to say to that was 'go to hell.'

"Miss Sakaki, Miss Haruno. You're late." Thank you captain obvious.

"Be glad I even came at all." Sakura snapped. The murmurs of gossip began. Sakura took Rina's seat and Rina took hers.

"Girls those are not the seats I gave you." he pointed out.

"SHUT UP AND TEACH!" Sakura and Rina shouted together. Finally he returned his attention to the board.

Sakura felt a tap on her shoulder. She turned around in her seat. It was Naruto. This should be interesting. She thought.

He mouthed the words "What happened?" He looked different than all the other gossip prying jerks. But Sakura was still on defense.

"What do you care?" She mouthed back. She turned back to face forward. She heard him start to write something. His pen stopped and she felt a weight on her shoulder. The weight fell to her lap. A note. She quietly opened it up, and read its contents.

Listen, I didn't have anything to do with the bet. When they began to talk about it I instantly knew to get out while I could. I just want to know what happened. (Not trying to get my ass kicked) you look like crap, and so does he. I already know why he does, but why do you?

Sakura began to reply. Kind of forgetting she was in class.

I don't care what you did or why. I don't care what I look like. Right now I wish the whole human race was dead, but I don't have that power…yet. So why do you care what happened to me, it's not like anyone else does.

She slipped the note back to Naruto.

She heard the scratch of Naruto's pen.

Actually you'd be pretty surprised. Most of the guys in the class think Sasuke's a lucky bastard to have kissed you. And the girls hate you for even being here. Oh and uh I …kind of …know your secret.

He slipped it to her and read it. He thought he saw Sakura's jaw drop. Then a scowl took its place. She began to write vigorously.

How the heck do you know?! Only he was there. Okay since u know, you should also know that if you tell a soul I will kill you. And same goes for Sasuke. Just tell me how you found out. Meet me in the park during lunch.

Sakura couldn't bare the class much longer. All the prying eyes and the singing lips of gossip. She had to get out. She got up handed the note to Naruto and walked out. She didn't care if she got expelled, what more could happen to her?


Ino now regrets telling the other girls about those two. All she wanted was to have her Sasuke back and single. She didn't expect to have him nearly drown in his own blood. His nose was slightly crooked and his left eye was bruised. He looked like he had an extremely bad head ache.

He'd been asleep all 1st, 2nd, and 3rd period. Kiba finally woke him up at lunch and he looked around and left the class. What Kiba thought was weird was that before Sasuke left, Sakura left and then Naruto read the note and got up and fallowed her. Something was going down.
