Incoming Dates
"Sakura why do we have to come to school again?" The blonde boy moaned in annoyance with his head down on his desk.
"Yeah, I'd rather be at home with my magazines!" A blonde girl whined sitting adjacent to the boy. "Why did Christmas break have to end so fast?"
The pinkette merely giggled at their actions sitting beside the raven hair boy who seemed acustom to their nonsense.
"Ugh why are you so giddy after the holidays? It's so annoying." Ino groaned sitting up and crossing her arms staring at the girl in annoyance. "Your mood depresses me more."
"I'm only happy because I can't wait for spring, don't you remember?" Sakura responded happily writing in her notebook.
"Oh yeah, I forget every year." Ino muttered in though.
"Eh what's in the spring?" Sasuke asked placing the bookmark in the book he read.
"It's Sakura's birthday duh." Naruto whispered to the boy in a matter of fact tone. "Her name means cherry blossoms so it'd make sense her birthday is in the spring."
"Oh I see." The raven boy said back.
"She gets even more happy because the school does that spring festival every year on her birthday." The blonde boy said with a goofy smile folding his arms behind his head. "It's always a big deal."
'Sakura's birthday? Maybe I should get her something real special. That festival is only a few months away.' Sasuke thought looking up at the girl who was all smiles with her best girlfriend. 'Tch I'll get her something amazing by then.'
"Sasuke." The calm voice of the older Uchiha brother called out to the youngest.
"Hey Itachi." The said boy greeted coming close enough to him.
"Is Sakura join us today?" His older brother asked looking toward the school building with children piling out.
"No she's not. She's gonna sleep over at Ino's for the weekend so their going home together." Sasuke said huffing and puffing at the thought.
"Do I detect a bit of jealousy?" His brother asked amused leading the way home. "Be grateful it's not a boy she's spending her weekend with."
The young Uchiha boy froze in place getting flustered by the thought. "S-shut up Itachi."
"I'm only yanking your leg little brother." The eldest commented poking his brothers forehead before continuing to walk.
"Sasuke. Itachi." A plain voice called out.
The two brothers' turned their heads slightly to see a dark hair pale smiling boy walking casually in their direction.
"Hey Sai." Sasuke greeted walking at the same pace as the other boy. "I haven't seen you much around."
"Well since we aren't in the same class I have to walk to school on my own." Sai responded back. "But even if we aren't in the same class I still hear about you."
"What do you hear?" Sasuke asked confused.
"I hear about you and that Haruno girl have been pretty close which is extremely shocking to me. I heard she's your girlfriend." Sai continued to speak.
Itachi erupted in laughter while Sasuke went wide eye at the comment and looked away hiding the blush that grew on his cheek.
"I suppose those rumors are right." The boy said with a chuckle. "I'm guessing your getting her a present then."
"For what Sai?" The oldest Uchiha asked curious glancing at the smaller boys.
"Sakura's birthday is on the day of the school's spring festival."
"I just found out today." Sasuke mumbled walking ahead of the other two.
"What are you going to get her little brother?" Itachi asked.
"I don't know, I was going to ask mom when we get home." He answered back. "I want it to be the greatest present she'll ever get!"
