Sorry it took so long to update. I had to go out of town and didn't have the files with me. I GOT A CAR! Sorry just had to say that. Any way, I just finished chapter seven so I'm going to start working on eight. I lost my original planning sheet so I'm trying to remember all of the story.

Thank you all that reviewed. When I took this fanfic off it had 50 reviews! I want to see if I can beat that really soon.

On with the story.

Need For Speed

Chapter 1: Don't Cry Over Spilt Books

(($#((&$$)&P&)

"Hey Sakura class is over." A girl poked Sakura in the shoulder.

"Huh?"

"You were daydreaming again." Another girl answered for her.

"Come on we need to get home." The first girl told her.

"I'm going to go the library today guys" Sakura said wiping her eyes.

"What is with you and the library? I swear if the world was blowing up you would be in that stupid library reading something." The two girls began talking to each other

"What I don't seem to understand is with all that time she reads at the library how come her grades are so low?"

"I'll see you guys later ok." Sakura walked out of the class room and got her stuff from her locker. She quickly threw her stuff in her bag and headed out the front door.

"Crap!" It was raining out side and she had to walk the four blocks to get to the library.

She took off running and stooped at each corner stand under something, so she could breath. Eventually she made it to the library, almost entirely soaked though. She walked in and head to the bathroom. She came prepared for the weather, and changed into a shirt and jeans. After pulling her soaked hair back she stuffed her other clothes into a bag and threw them in her backpack. She pushed the door open and walked toward the front desk. The librarian had know her pretty well over the years. Sakura has been coming here since she was ten.

"Afternoon Sakura, how are you?" The kind old lady asked.

"Afternoon Mrs. Tawa. I'm fine, and you?" Sakura replied kindly back.

"I'm just great, thank you."

"Are any of the rooms open?"

"No dear I didn't think you were coming today so had all the private rooms filled. Sorry."

Sakura smiled and replied. "Don't worry I'll just find a table back in the back where no one goes."

"Sakura you might need to do that for a few weeks. The library is holding some conference and after today they're booked for a while." Mrs. Tawa looked sorry at Sakura.

"Hey no problem, I'll just keep my little table cornered off so that it'll be like my own private room."

With that Sakura waved at her and headed to the back area. Sakura set her stuff down and made her way toward her favorite section in the whole library. She reached the section and checked to see if anyone was looking. Quickly she picked out a few books and stuck them in an empty tote bag she had been carrying. When she closed the bag she checked to make sure no one was looking again and went down stairs.

When Sakura made it back to her table she sat in the far corner so no one could see what she was reading. She took one book at a time out and read quickly. After many years of reading she could finish books in under an hour, and still have read every single word that was in the book.

After finishing her book she looked up and lent her head back on the chair, to give her eyes some rest. When she looked up though there was someone in the section her books come from. No one really goes to this section, unless they are doing a report or something, because not many have a very high interest in it. She for sure wasn't allowed in that section at all, but that wouldn't stop her. No one could stop her from her dreams, no matter if it was against the law, like it was, to read what she was reading, because she was a girl, to like what she liked, because she was a girl, and to dream what she dreamed, because she was a girl, no one was going to stop her.

Sakura stared at the man's back for quite a while until he moved then she averted her eyes quickly and put her book back in its bag.

'Man that guy looks hot!'

Now normally this isn't what first crosses Sakura's mind. Her first thought would have been something like, 'Crap that means I'll have to be more careful.' or, 'I hope he doesn't look down here and see what I am reading. He might turn me in.' But no, the first thing to cross her mind is, 'Man that guy looks hot!'

Sakura was lost in her thoughts when she heard a chair being pulled out at the end of the table. She looked towards the noise and there he was. The man from upstairs, that was in her favorite section, came down here and sat at her table. Sakura took a good look at the man before she looked away again. He had chocolate messy hair and gorgeous amber eyes that read almost as fast as she does. You could tell he was tall and in real good shape. But the thing that intrigued her most was what was sitting next to him. A motorcycle helmet. The guy had a motorcycle. That's why he's reading about motorcycle repair.

Sakura got up and put her stuff up and headed toward the motorcycle section to put the books she was reading up. She couldn't sit there with that guy at the other end of the table. She didn't know if it was cause he was distracting because of his looks or because she was this close to being by someone who had a motorcycle. She reached the end of the table and failed to notice the guys bag sitting on the floor. She tripped sending the books she had all over the floor. The guy caught her before she hit but she didn't care. She had to get her books up before he saw what they are and got her in trouble.

"Are you ok?" He asked still holding on to her.

"I'm fine thanks." She quickly got out of his grasp, blushing head to toe, and scrambled to get the books up.

"Here let me help." The guy offered and bent over.

"NO, no, no I got it!" She quickly said picking the books up.

The guy saw the last book she hadn't picked up yet, "Motorcycle Racing: From Go To The Finish Line" by Adon Strepto. Sakura looked around the floor for her last book and with horror she found it in the guys hands. He held it out to her and looked at her seriously. His eyes softened and he sat back down, picking up his book to read again like it never happened. Sakura took off thanking God that he didn't tell on her.

Was it interesting at all? If it isn't obvious already, you'll know who the guy is in about five chapters. See you next week! My birthday is on next Wednesday. I'll be 17! Wish me a happy b-day!

Please review.
