CHAPTER 3
Screen Names
She took a bit of her apple and held the knife to her wrist. "Stupid jackasses. Hope they figure out why I want to live alone." Sakura took a good grip on the handel and without a second thought she sliced her wrist releicing blood onto her already red sheets.
THE NEXT DAY AT SCHOOL
"Hey guys." Sakura whispered softly as if talking to a scared animal. Her wrists were bandaged but no one noticed since she had a long sleeved uniform on.
Hinata and Tenten smiled. "Hey Sakura-chan." they both said, "Is there something wrong?" noticing her low voice.
Shikamaru noticed Sakura's bandages and walked over, "Sorry but I need to talk to Sakura. Alone." he said pulling Sakura away.
"Hey Nara. Whats wrong?" Sakura asked playing inocent. She put a fake smile on her pale face.
Shikamaru frowned. "Sakura I've known you for a long time. I know whats going on. Why'd you do it?" he asked holding up her hurt wrists.
Sakura felt bad, "Sorry I made you worry. I just did it. You only noticed since your one of my best friends. Not like anyone else will."
Shikamaru shrugged, "You're so troublesome."
Sakura smirked, "What you say Nara?" she asked playfully (friend playful)
They both chuckled. "NARA! What the hell are you doing?" Sasuke asked meanly as he walked up behind Shikamaru.
"Well I better go. By Nara. By Sasuke." she said sweetly still trying to hid her hurt wrists. For once she called him by his real name without trying to hurt him.
After she had gone away Sasuke looked at Shikamaru like he was trash. "What was that about?" he asked meanly.
"Haruno has been my friend since third grade. I was just talking to her. Got a problem?" Shikamaru asked noticing Sasuke was fuming. Is he jelouse. OMG he likes Sakura. Who would have thought. I guess she doesnt know eaither.
Most of Sasuke's friends had left already but Sasuke stayed, "So whats wrong with her wrists?" he asked.
Shikamaru was shocked, "You noticed?" Sasuke nodded as he leaned agenst the lockers. "She does that sometimes. She'll be upset then have a big mood swing the next day. She just puts bandages on for some reason." Shikamaru lied knowing Sakura would kick his ass for telling that she cut herself.
"GET TO CLASS!" a woman screamed from down the hall making them go to their classes since the bell had rung earlyer.
IN HOMEROOM
Since Hinata's seatmate was back Sakura had to sit with Sasuke. After being mobed by her fanboys asking, "Are you alright Sakura-chan?" or "Go on a date with me?" she just sat next to Sasuke.
"How do you deal with girls doing this?" she huffed trying to cover her head. She heard Sasuke chuckle.
She glanced over to see him smirking, "I'm used to it. Why were you over at my house yesterday?" he asked coldy.
"Itachi found me in the rain. He offered for me to dry off so I did. Sorry if it bothered you." she smiled again as Sasuke just glared at her. Suddenly someone flicked something and it hit Sakura's wrist. "Shit!" Sakura hissed as she grabbed her wrist in pain.
What the hell. She's making a big deal over bandages. Sakura stopped her whining and put her hand under the desk. Sasuke could see the bandages were turning dark red. She's bleeding! Shikamaru was lieing, Sakura hurt herself... why...
Sakura made no movements what so ever intell half bell rung. When the bell rung she quickly ran over to Shikamaru and almost started balling. Sasuke couldnt hear her words but he knew they were ergent. Shikamaru quickly jumped out of his seat and ran to the back of the room.
I wonder what that was about? Sasuke wondered as he left the class for break.
"Shikamaru please help!" Sakura cried as she held her bloody wrists out to Shikamaru. He nodded and grabbed some bandages from her bag.
"Good thing you carry these around." Shikamaru said making an atempt on making Sakura smile. He removed the old wet bandages to see a deep lasarashion on Sakura's wrist. "HOLY SHIT SAKURA! You cut yourself really deep this time." he gasped.
Sakura just looked away, "Will you please just bandage it before anyone comes back?" she asked inocently.
Shikamaru nodded, "I dont want you to ever do this again. Cause Uchiha's getting very suspishious. How come you do this anyways?" Shikamaru asked while wrapping her clean wounds.
"I love Gaara and all but I hate living with him. I can live on my own but my parents say I have to live with him. They think it will stop me from cutting myself." Sakura said almost proudly.
Shikamaru tied the rest of the bandages and smiled, "I'm done. So you gonna be ok now?" he asked.
Sakura nodded and gave him a (friendly) hug. Not knowing she was being watched by two jelouse eyes.
The bell rung and everyone came back to class. Sasuke was silent and kept sending death glares to Shikamaru. Why the hell did she hug him! I thought they were just friends. Since when do I care? Sasuke shouted in his mind while taping the pencil. He noticed Sakura was writing a note to none other then Shikamaru.
Shika, I'll talk to u bout u know wat on IM tonight. U remember my sn right?
Sakura passed the folded peice of paper across the row to Shikamaru. No one noticed since they were all talking to their seat mate since Kakashi was reading his perverted book. Shikamaru read the note quickly then wrote down something and sent it back over.
Srry Kura. I dont know ur sn. I changed mine. Its CloudGazur14. Urs? PS ask Hinata and Tenten for theirs. Every1 has an IM in this school.
Sakura giggled as she wrote CloudGazur14 on another sheet of paper. She wrote something down on the note that Sasuke could see.
Mine's WhipeCblossom666, Alright. I'll talk to u there. I'll get Hinata and Tenten's l8er. And NO hacking into our convo. kk.
Sakura sent the note over and Shikamaru rote something down on another sheet. Kakashi suddenly saw that everyone was talking and said, "Alright if I hear one more word detenshion for the whole class." he proclamed meanly.
Shikamaru stopped reading the note and shuved it in his pocket. The bell was going to ring soon and Shikamaru knew that he could talk to her then. Soon the bell rung and Sasuke was the first one to go over to Shikamaru.
Shit did he see us writing the note. I hope he doesnt get too mad. Shikamaru thought worringly.
"Hey Nara." Sasuke said with a evil smirk on his face. "I've heard your a wiz with computers. Could you help me?"
"Sure Uchiha. What do you need?" Shikamaru asked shakingly.
Sasuke smirked, "I need to hack into an IM chat room. Could you help with that?" Sasuke looked at Shikamaru's expreshion and wondered, Even though he likes Sakura he's going to get me a lot of things I want.
Shikamaru smirked. He read the note and now he wants to spy on Sakura. Lets make him sweat a little. Shikamaru nodded, "Sure Sasuke. But we have to spy on Sakura's conversashion with Hinata and Tenten."
"Why?" Sasuke asked stupidly. He really didnt understand.
Gosh for someone who likes Sakura you are really dence. Shikamaru rolled his eyes, "Sakura says that she likes someone in her classes. I want to find out so I can black mail her. And since I'll be helping you hack you have to help me blackmail."
"I like your style Shikamaru."
WITH SAKURA AND THE GIRLS
"Hey Hinata-chan, Tenten-chan!" Sakura yelled running up behind her friends. They turned and smiled at her. "Do you guys have a screen name? You know for IM?" Sakura asked.
"Yeah." they replied in unison. Sakura pulled out a peice of paper. Hinata's was RamenGirl92. Tenten's was SoccerQueen007.
Sakura wrote hers down then went to class.
