Hehe, yay thanks for reviewing! Eight more days till I die! And I'm excited for it too! I'm getting my schedule on the 30th. And yeah. Once school starts I won't have as much time to update but I'll try my best. I just hope I don't get trampled by the older people...T.T

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto so blah.


It had been a few weeks since Sakura's first at Konoha High. She had gotten to know everyone fairly well.

Naruto was loud and loved ramen but was a great friend. Ino loved to talk and helped Sakura out when she had a problem and gave her great advice. Hinata was quite and shy but when she had to say something it would just keep coming out. Shikamaru was...well lazy...but he was very smart. People called him a genius. Neji was quiet just like his cousin. If he wanted to do something he would do it until he finished it. Tenten, to Sakura's eyes, was the best archer she'd seen in the school. She was also very patient. Tenten had shown Sakura how to hold a bow and let her try it out. It had taken Sakura about three hours to actually hit some part of the target. Tenten had been patient with her and shown her how to hold everything properly and gave her some useful tips as well.

Last but not least, Sasuke. Sakura was puzzled by him. He never seemed to show any sort of emotion. The most words she'd ever hear him say were "Hn." and "Aa." She didn't even know if those were words or not. Most probably not. There was the occasional "Shut-up dobe." but that was about it. He was always quiet and all he did was listen to what the others have to say. Sakura didn't even know if he was paying attention or not. But it intrigued her. It made her want to know more about him, he seemed so mysterious. She thought that that was why all the girls loved him...besides the way he looked. His black hair spiked up at the back and onyx eyes all seemed to add to his mysterious figure.

That was basically all she knew about him. But she was determined to learn more about him.

"Sakura-chan...what are you staring at..." asked Naruto slowly. She snapped out of her trance not noticing she had been staring at a certain raven haired boy.

"Uh, um nothing."

"Yeah, I'm sure nothing." said Ino sarcastically. "For the past 5 minutes you've been staring at Sasuke."

They all nodded, except Sasuke who seemed to be out of it. Sakura felt a small blush creep up her face.

"I-I was not staring! I was just er observing."

Tenten snorted, "That's the same thing!"

"Sakura-chan, you haven't opened your bento box yet." came Hinata's quiet voice. "You seemed too preoccupied to open it."

"Huh? Oh...yeah. You're right." It was lunch and everyone had started to eat. Sakura opened her bento box.

"I think I made a little too much." said Sakura. "Do you guys want some?"

They all looked at her food. It was true. She had made too much food. In fact she had made enough to feed them all.

"Are you sure?" asked Tenten.

"Oh yeah, take what you like!"

All of them, except Sasuke who seemed to still be in lala land, looked at her lunch. There were onigiri, sushi and little sandwiches. Naruto started to drool.

"Oi, Naruto. Remember to leave some for us too you know." said Shikamaru.

"I know that! I wouldn't take everything and eat it you know." said Naruto.

"The last time someone offered you some of their lunch. You ate it all." stated Neji. Naruto glared at him.

"It all looks to pretty to eat." said Ino.

"I know. I don't know where to start!" smiled Tenten.

They all took and item from her box and took a bite.

"Sakura-chan! This is really good!" exclaimed Naruto. He stuffed the rest of the sandwich in his mouth.

"He's right! It's really tasty." said Hinata. She was taking little bites out of an onigiri, savouring the taste.

All of them nodded their heads in agreement and took some more.

"R-really? You really think so? Wow, I didn't think my cooking was that great." said Sakura shyly.

"Maybe you should make lunch for us more often." said Naruto with his mouth full.

"Naruto, don't talk with your mouth full. We don't need to see what's in your mouth you know." said Neji. He was currently being hailed with rice flying out of Naruto's mouth.

Naruto shrugged. "Oi, Sasuke-teme! Don't you want any?"

Sasuke was finally out of his trance and looked at Naruto.

"No." he stated plainly.

"Aww come on Sasuke! Try some it's really good!" said Tenten.

"Yeah! You really should! Come on just a little bit?" grinned Ino.

"No." came the answer again.

All of them, even the boys, started to persuade him to try some until he gave in.

"Oh fine." he muttered. He reached over and took an onigiri and bit into it. They all looked at him expectantly. He swallowed.

"What?" he asked.

"Is it good, Sasuke-kun?" asked Sakura. Her eyes were eager to know how he liked it.

"Obviously it's good right?" said Shikamaru.

"It's okay."

Sakura's face fell.

"What are you talking about? It's not just okay! It's delicious!" shouted Naruto.

"Shut-up dobe."

"There's something wrong with you Sasuke." said Shikamaru.

All of them nodded, except Sakura.


"Ah, it's okay. If he doesn't like it. It's fine!" she said quietly. There was obvious hurt in her voice but it seemed that Sasuke didn't notice. He looked at her and then looked away.

"Oh ignore him Sakura-chan!" said Ino.

"Yeah, he doesn't know what he's talking about." said Tenten.

Sakura gave a small smile and nodded.

"How was school today?" Mrs. Haruno asked her daughter.

"It's was good. But I have a lot of homework to do."

Her mother smiled at her. "You always get a lot of homework everyday dear. Remember, don't work yourself too hard." There was a look of concern on her mother's face.

"I know mom. I'll take it easy. I promise!" Sakura was reminded of the time she fainted of exhaustion on the kitchen floor because she over worked herself. She stayed up late studying for her exams and tried to finish her project early. It left her with little time to sleep.

"That's good to hear." her mother smiled.

"Oh yeah, that reminds me. Tomorrow I'll need to stay after school for a bit because I'm going to be tutoring a younger student."

"Okay. Just don't come home too late. It's a school night."

"I promise!" Her mother hugged her and resumed doing what she was doing. (Cooking probably. Use your imagination. Haha.)


Short chapter...Okay, I lied. This wasn't as good as I said it would be. But next chapter will be. For sure. SasuSaku moments. AHAHA Yay!
