Sasuke's POV
"Shit...shit...shit..." I kept mumbling as I hurried to get ready. "Okay, Sakura's mad, but this isn't gonna change anything!"
My pep talks always sucked.
I rushed out of the bathroom to go downstairs and make sure Sakura wasn't destroying anything of value. Well, she was making breakfast. And Sakura isn't the GREATEST cook in the world. Not that she's bad, but...why am I rambling? I should be freaking out!
"Sakura?!" I gasped, nearly falling to the tiled floor from running so fast. "What." She only spoke in one tone. A mad tone.
Double shit.
"So...whatcha makin'?"
"A smoothie." I guess I should've noticed the multiple fruits sitting around the blender she was holding down. I momentarily watched the colors of the fruits change in the blender.
"That's...that's cool. Need help?"
"No." I didn't know what else to say after that. Think brain, THINK!
"Did you bump into my phone today?" I asked as I sat down at the island, moving a People magazine to my left.
THAT'S THE BEST YOU CAN DO?! DID YOU BUMP INTO MY PHONE?!
Triple shit, Sasuke! Are you TRYING to kill yourself?!
Sakura sat down with her smoothie, sticking a straw into the glass and taking a long slurp. "Yes, I did bump into your phone."
"Oh. I was just wondering since the light was on when I woke up and--"
"You know, there's an article in my magazine about a celebrity couple and how they broke up because the guy didn't really love the girl and only loved her for her MONEY!" Sakura interrupted and slammed her hands on the island table. She grabbed the magazine and sent it flying my way.
"I marked the page in case you wanted to read it, Sasuke!" She was FURIOUS.
Quadruple S-H-I-T.
"O-Oh...that's nice..." I'm screwed.
"Okay Sasuke, while you're reading that, I'm going to brush my teeth and grab my bag and get in the limo. We have to leave in ten minutes." And with that, Sakura left the kitchen, stomping her way up the stairs.
...this is gonna be bad.
.xx.
Normal POV
"Sakura! We gotta go!" Sasuke shouted up the stairs. She trudged down holding her suitcase in her hand. Her eyes were bright red and puffy.
"Ready?" Sasuke asked. Sakura just brushed past him and walked outside, wiping her eyes in the process. Sasuke sighed and quietly shut the front door. Then he climbed in the limo after Sakura.
"So...dance competition..." Sasuke tried to make conversation. Sakura just clutched her pink and black striped iPod and listened to her music at what was probably full blast. Sighing, Sasuke told the driver the destination and stared at the window.
After what seemed like forever, they both arrived at the airport. They saw everyone waiting outside. Sakura was the first to get out of the limo. Sasuke followed her, telling the driver to get both their bags.
"Hey Sakura and Sasuke!" Ino said, waving them over. Sakura walked up to them, grabbing Ino and Hinata, and Hinata grabbed Tenten. She led them into the airport, leaving the guys behind.
"Sasuke, what's up with Sakura?" Shikamaru asked. "Don't ask," Sasuke said, running a hand through his hair. "Is she okay?" Naruto asked. "How in the hell should I know Naruto?! Why don't you go ask her?!" Sasuke stormed into the airport. Neji shook his head and told the guys to quickly follow so they didn't lose Sasuke.
.xx.
"What's wrong Sakura?" Hinata asked. The girls were already on the plane and sitting in their seats.
"Sasuke."
"What happened? Did you guys have a fight?" Tenten asked. "Not yet, but there's gonna be hell to pay when we get to Florida."
"What do you mean?" Ino asked. Sakura told them what happened, from when he said he loved her to the breakfast table.
"A BET?! Oh wait 'til I get my hands on him!" Tenten said, cracking her knuckles. Ino's face was a bright red, and Hinata had been gaping at Sakura's story since she told her about the text.
"It's not that big of a deal. Besides, do you know what day it is?" Sakura asked.
"Umm...the twentieth?" Hinata offered.
"Exactly."
"What does that have to do with anything?" Ino asked. Sakura was silent.
"Oh my gosh," Tenten said, bringing a hand to her mouth. "Isn't it August?" This time Hinata and Ino gasped.
"That's right," Sakura said.
"That means that...we start school in exactly a week and a day..." Hinata said.
"But then, Sakura, you have to leave right after the dance competition!" Ino said, completely shocked.
"I know. I'd have to get a plane to America right after the trophy awards."
"You can't leave yet! Can't you just...ummm..." Tenten tried to think of a good excuse for Sakura to stay longer. Sakura shook her head. "It's not fair to my fans if I stay here. I need to go back."
"I hate to ruin the conversation, but the guys just boarded the plane," Hinata said, pointing.
"I can't sit with Sasuke without killing him! Will you guys please sit with me?" Sakura pleaded. The girls nodded and Hinata got up to tell them that they were sitting together. The guys nodded and sat down on the other side of the plane.
"Tennie?" Hinata, using Tenten's nickname, put a hand on her shoulder as she watched Tenten glare at Sasuke. Tenten cracked her knuckles and stood up.
"WAIT 'TIL GET MY HANDS ON YOU UCHIHA!!!" Ino, Sakura, and Hinata were holding her down as Tenten screamed at Sasuke. Sasuke just turned his head and stared out the plane window. After a few minutes, the girls strapped Tenten in her seat. Tenten was breathing heavily and crossed her arms, very annoyed.
"You should've let me killed him..." she complained.
"Yeah, I don't think the staff on the plane would appreciate cleaning dead body Tenten," Sakura pointed out.
"I'm sure they wouldn't mind TOO much..." Ino said, also cracking her knuckles. Hinata and Sakura sighed. "You guys wont ever grow up will you?" Hinata asked, already knowing the answer.
"Nope!"
.xx.
"Sasuke, when are you going to apologize to Sakura?" Shikamaru asked. The guys stared at him intently.
"Or get her in bed," Neji added. Naruto glared at him. "I can't believe that you still care about that bet when one of your best friends is going through a crisis here!"
"Well, I need to win that bet!"
"Why did you drag Sasuke into it?!" Shikamaru yelled.
"I wasn't gonna do it alone!" Neji rebutted.
"Just shut up! The point is, I agreed to it and Sakura found out this morning! Can we get to the part were you guys HELP ME?!" Sasuke yelled over the bickering boys. They all looked at him and fell silent.
"Gosh, SOR-RY!" Neji said, attitude and sarcasm dripping like venom. Sasuke sighed and put his head against the seat in front of him. "What am I gonna do...?"
"Do you love her?" Naruto asked. "Would I feel like this if I didn't?" Sasuke asked.
"Would you?" Shikamaru asked. Sasuke stayed silent. "I...I don't know...I think I love her...but I've never really been in love, you know what I mean?" he said after a while.
"You know Sasuke. I think you'll know when you feel it in your gut. Like, that sick-but-it's-a-good-feeling feeling," Shikamaru said. "I know that feeling, and I know for a fact that I love Ino."
"And I love Hinata!"
-crack-
"I mean...she's a very nice girl and anybody that even comes close to laying a hand on her head would get it cut off by you, Almighty Neji!"
"That's what I thought you said."
.xx.
"These are some really good peanuts you guys!" Ino said merrily, shoving peanut after peanut in her mouth. Tenten smirked. "Those aren't peanuts, Ino." Ino looked at her, her cheeks puffed up like a chipmunks. "They're rat droppings."
"What?" Ino tilited her head to the side.
"IT'S RAT SHIT, INO!" Tenten screamed. Ino yelped in disgust and starting wiping her tongue with a napkin. Hinata and Tenten laughed.
"Ino, you're so dense!" Hinata said.
"How could you be so stupid?" Tenten giggled.
"Wait...so it's not rat shit...?"
"NO YOU DUMBASS!" Tenten shouted. Ino blushed. "...I knew that..."
"Yeah, yeah, sure you did," Hinata said. Tenten giggled. Ino turned to Sakura, who was being really quiet.
"Hey, are you okay?" The girls looked over. Sakura nodded and kept looking out the window. The girls sighed and turned back to laughing at Ino.
.xx.
Sasuke was staring at Sakura from across the plane. He saw how sad she looked, and how betrayed she probably felt.
And it was all his fault.
"Sasuke?" Neji called. Sasuke turned his head slowly. "You okay?" Sasuke looked down and turned back to Sakura. Naruto spoke up. "You have to cheer up, Sasuke. Or you won't have a good time in Florida."
"I don't want to have a good time, unless Sakura is hvaing a good time with me..."
"You have to forget her. She's being overly sensitive," Neji said. Shikamaru glared. "Yeah, because I'm absolutely positive that Sakura LOVES seeing a text practically saying that Sasuke's only with her for a bet."
"Well, Sasuke shouldn't have taken up the bet."
"You shouldn't have told him about the bet! Let alone ACCEPTED it in the first place!" Shikamaru argued.
"Well...you know what...I don't need your...AUGH, forget it, Shikamaru! You're not even in this!"
"Alright, that's enough!" Naruto butted in. Pretty soon, all of the guys were arguing and screaming at each other. And the girls turned to see it all.
.xx.
"Geez, they need a chill pill or two!" Tenten said. The girls nodded. "Gosh, shouldn't we do something?" Ino asked. Sakura nodded. Hinata was listening to her Ipod, when all of a sudden her face scrunched up in displeasure.
"OH. MY. GOSH! SHUT THE FUCK UP! SASUKE AND NEJI, YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE STARTED AND AGREED TO THE FUCKIN' BET! NARUTO, STAY OUT OF IT, AND SHIKAMARU STOP TRYING TO BE THE GOOD GUY! NOW ALL OF YOU KISS AND MAKE UP BEFORE I REALLY BLOW MY LID!!!" Hinata was standing, her face a bright red, and breathing heavily. Everyone was dumbfounded, to say the least.
"B-But Hinat-a...we can't k-kiss and m-make up, we're g-guys--"
"SHUT THE HELL UP AND KISS AND MAKE UP BEFORE I WALK OVER THERE!!" The guys squealed pathetically and said sorrys and "kissed". Actually, they very manly hugged. Hinata, feeling very proud of herself, sat back down. The girls had their mouths wide open and were staring at her in disbelief.
"What? They were interferring with a great song!" Hinata said. The girls remained in their same positions.
"They were bugging me."
"Hinata, I love you."
"Yes, I know Sakura."
.xx.
Even I was astounded when writing this. Haha. Sorry for the late update! (I rhymed. Ha.)
