Hey ya'll sorry it's taking so long for this any of my stories. I'm having computer problems and I don't know how that is gonna end. So it's going to be slow. But um I'm thinking about doing another story like this only in college for like three pairs plus a bunch of other stories. So tell me what you think about the college thing and give ideas if you want.

Ino POV

Apparently no body's life is going well. Sakura's family had officially gone down to Hades. Tenten well no body knows with her but it's bad with the way she's acting. Hinata is the only one actually happy. The boys even seemed off key and I'm not referring to the fact that they constantly stare at us now. Me on the other hand is going insane. I have no idea what I'm going to do. My parents' feuding is starting to get out of hand. I don't know what to do! They can't speak to each other with out finding something to fight about rather it's sensible or stupid. Depressing. Tenten's depression is the most noticeable. She's just not her self anymore. She's been fine during the morning then coming lunch someone lowered a big boom on her life. She spaced out refusing to answer question we all know dang well she can answer. I was afraid to leave alone in gym because heaven knows she'll get her self killed. I had no choice. I had a class of my own to go to. Tenten was never the type to talk about her problems. She always worried about others before hers. And even when there is no other she refuses to show her true feeling in the matter or even give a sign of her darkness. You can ask all you won't she won't say a word. All I could do was watch her walk in her direction by her self. It really worried me. Once she disappeared in the crowd I went my own way.

Sakura POV

I have class by my self with none other Sasuke Uchiha. The guy that walked me home and protected me from Karin and my farther. He really helped me out. I'm grateful that he did all that but why did now of all times did the teacher decide to assign seats! With him next to me! I don't want him to know anything more about my life. He's learned too much already.

Class was torturing slow. It dragged on and on. The good news was that he hasn't said a word to me. No instead he passed a note my way. I dread reading it. I unfolded it and it read:

What exactly happen between you and your dad?

I scribbled back:

Nothing you should be concerned about.

I want to know

Get over it

Tell me

Not a chance

Why not?

I hate you

What did I do?

I don't need reason to hate someone

Then just tell me

I made sure that was the end of it. I crumbled up the paper into a ball and threw it at him when the teacher wasn't looking.

"You're so stubborn." He whispered. I was childish enough to stick my tongue out at him. He only smirked. Danged idiot.

Tenten POV

Hate. My. Life. I'm hanging out in the bleachers of the gym not really in the mood to walk home. I just can't find something good about my life anymore. Not that I did from the beginning. First Neji tries to make a mockery out of me and asks me to the stupid dance then that wretched worthless lady had the nerve to send me a letter! Why should I care about her?! Why should she care about me?! I don't need to know how much her life was better with out me. Especially now that she's got a better daughter.

"Tenten." I looked up to Neji Hyuuga. "Why aren't you going home? You usually walk home with your friends."

"Maybe I don't want to go home." I said then whispered, "I rather be anywhere but home." It wasn't meant to be heard but he did and chuckled.

"You sound like Hinata. Are you going to try to kill your self too?" He teased. It made me mad. I picked up my math book and through it at him as I started to cry. I missed him but I blame it on my tears. "Okay I admit that was a little inapposite." Neji did the most unexpected thing ever. He sat next to me with his arm around my shoulders. I pushed him off. "Mind telling me what's wrong?" He asked. He sounded like he really cared.

"What do you care? Why are you even here?" I asked.

"I came looking for you. You misunderstood about yesterday. So I wanted to talk to you about it. Is that why you're crying?" He said.

"No." I confessed. What did I misunderstand?

"Then why are you crying?" I thought about it for a while. Then dug in the back pocket of my jeans and handed him the letter I received from my real mother. He took it and looked at me. I nodded, telling him to read it. He unfolded it and read it to himself. He kept his expression composed but I could tell e understood and was shocked. He folded it back and sighed.

"Talk about a stab in the heart." He whispered. I nodded in agreement. "I don't fully understand. Do you have a foster family?"

"Yes. I've been with them my whole life. All because my real mom didn't want me. I guess I wasn't good enough." I said depressed.

"I don't think that's true." He said.

"How would you know?"

"Tenten the letter did say that she's happy with her new family and daughter but then why would she send you a letter telling you?" I shrugged.

"I don't know."

"Maybe because she regrets leaving you?"

"Dang her."

"You're not making this easy, Tenten. Are you even listening to me?"

"Nope."

He sighed and looked at the letter. "Look, I get that you're mad as heck but you shouldn't hold it against your self. It's not your fault."

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"She's the one who didn't want you. You didn't do anything to force her into that decision. Don't bother blaming your self; all you're doing is hurting your self. She's the one who missed out on having a great person like you for a daughter." He said. It was very comforting. Very unlike Neji.

"Thanks, Neji, that's really nice of you." I said wiping away my tears. "Do you really think that?" I asked.

"About what?"

"About me? Being a great person?" I said then blushed and looked away. "I mean compared to what the letter said about you know her new daughter." He blushed and looked away too. Whoa! Neji blushed again?! It's cute. Note to self never say that again.

"Uh of course. Other wise I would have never said it." He finally said. "I mean if I was comparing to the other daughter." It was very awkward. I stood up.

"I think I should go home." I said.

"Would you like for me to walk you home? I still need to talk to you about yesterday." He offered. I actually considered it for a while. "I mean we could talk tomorrow. It's just that um well…"

"I don't mind." I said. "It's probly nicer than walking home by my self." I got my stuff and Neji handed me my math book I threw at him and we walked out.

Hinata POV

It's Friday! The day of the dance!

I've decided to have a sleep over. It's a thanks to all my wonderful friends for setting me up with Naruto. I really like him and I'm happy with him. But I set a little surprise for them. The surprise is that we're going to go to the dance. Of course Naruto is taking me while they get a ride with some other boys. I think they'll like whom they get to dance with. This was Naruto's idea and I think it's perfect. So this Afternoon is going to be awesome! I can hardly wait. In class I couldn't stop grinning and giggling about it. Naruto kept looking my way with that smile of his. He was defiantly excited about it too. Then as the morning announcements came on I noticed the sad news.

"Tonight's dance as been canceled do to the decorating committee feels it needs more work. They believe it will be done by Saturday night. So that is when the dance will take place. Saturday night a eight." I looked at Naruto shocked questioning what to do. He knew right away so he smiled and winked. I blushed like crazy. I guess he'll tell me what's he planning later on.

"Hey Hinata can't wait for tonight!" Ino said.

"Glad your excited." I said trying to hide my disappointment. It just might be a normal sleepover and not a thank you celebration like I wanted.

"Yeah. I think it'll be good for us. Lately we've been down a lot. Time to step back up!" Tenten said. I wonder what got her all perked up.

"It'll be nice to be away form home for once. Plus I got the day off." Sakura said. I noticed Sakura wasn't wearing long sleeves like she has been since the chemical incident. She had bandages around her wrist and hand.

"Are you okay?" I asked pointing to her hand.

"Yeah just a little trouble from Karin."

"Oh yeah which reminds me! I never told yeah about her getting suspended!" Tenten exclaimed.

"No way! That was you?" Ino said shocked.

"You bet!" She said proudly. "The chemicals were in her locker. It was too easy." She laughed. Class started so we had to quiet down. But every now and then giggle. After class Naruto grabbed my arm and pulled me aside.

"What are we going to do about the sleepover? I wanted to be special for them, Naruto."

"I know. Just relax. This could actually work to our advantage."

"How?" I asked.

"It's simple. While I hang out with the guys at my house, you can take the girls shopping."

"Shopping?"

"To pick out dresses."

"I've never thought about the dresses! That's something we really need for a dance."

"Exactly! So everything's working out for the better."

"Thanks, Naruto." I said sweetly.

"Oh one more thing, don't faint."

"Why-" I was interrupted by Naruto crushing hi slips on mine. I blushed like crazy! He then pulled away and ran off. He turned still running waving at me, laughing. Naruto kissed me. Naruto actually kissed me.

"Hey Hinata we're going to be late." Tenten said but as soon as her hand touched my shoulder I blanked out.

Sakura POV

"You're never going to leave me alone about what happened are you?"

"Nope." He said. He's being very annoying about this. He keeps asking me about what happened. Even after the first oh geez how many times? Maybe a hundred times ten! He won't let it go. Not even after school. "I don't see why you can't just tell me. I was there I saw what happened. Do you really except me to see that and act like it never happened?" He egged on.

"Of course I do. I don't see it as your business."

"I get that you might be a little …embarrassed about what happen, but I mean he acted like he would have hurt you. I want to help, but I can't do it if you don't let me."

"You're right." I said. He seemed relieved. "He was going to hurt me. But it's still not your business." I said and tried to walk away but he grabbed my shoulder and turned me back around.

"I'm trying to help here. You can't handle this on your own." He said.

"I can too!" I argued. "I have for years."

"Oh really? Cause I thought you were being nothing more than a coward towards him. I didn't really see that as 'handling it'." He said. He saw how hurt I was by that, and looked like he regretted it. He was speechless and didn't know what to say. "Sakura…um I didn't mean … I…I'm…" He stuttered on. I just shook my head. "Sakura please believe me… I mean not what I said but …I mean…"

"Just forget it. You said it. It's over."

"But Sakura you don't understand I didn't mean-"

"I uh need to go. Hinata is waiting for me at the…front entrance of the school."

"See ya." He said sadly. I shook my head.

"Don't count on it." I said and walked off. I hope I never see him again.

Ino POV

"But you said I could go! Why are you making me do this?!" I complained. My mom ordered me home right after school so I told Hinata I would join her later. But it doesn't look like it's going to happen. My parents are splitting up and I have to move in at grandmas with mom. We're in my room and she's throwing every once of my clothing and possessions in bags.

"Sweetie I'm sorry but I can't stand to be with that man another second and I'm not going to my mother's with out someone with me."

"If you won't go by yourself then stay here till tomorrow."

"No, Ino. You're coming with me." She said carrying my stuff down to her car. I quickly followed.

"But mom, Hinata's sleepover is to night! You promised I could go! Let me go and I'll join you tomorrow. Just let me go!" I argued.

"No! That is out of the question!"

"I can't believe you guys! Both of you is acting so stupid!" I yelled.

"I beg your pardon." My mother said shocked. I couldn't believe I said it. But I did. I guess now I have no choice but to tell them how I really feel. "Young lady, you do-"

"Shut up!"
