It was a lonely Friday night with Naruto Uzumaki. Ever since Sakura made a change of plans with her boyfriend he's been stuck in his room either listening to music or on his laptop. This wasn't the first time this had happened. They rarely even seen each other during the past month when school began and Sakura's involvement as Cheerleading captain Naruto knew ahead of time that he would scarcely see her but not like this.

Sometimes the blonde wished that he had played sports just to be with Sakura. Don't get him wrong, he isn't a skinny, scrawny, and lanky boy who can't throw a rock. Hard to believe behind his black and orange jacket or his white and orange sweatshirts he wears every now and then that he has some muscle behind it in his skinny form. With that body of his, he used to play every sport there is back in Junior High. Naruto was the star of the show, the brag around the school, and along with his star of fame, he had a rival that tried to outdo him in everything. And that boy or his ex-best friend was Sasuke Uchiha. But when his best friend stabbed him in the back, he practically ruined the poor boy's life. Even if Naruto was the best football player around, the coaches would never let him join the team, let alone try out. And that kind of torture ached Naruto's stomach.

Naruto was in his room lying on his bed listening to his music on his iPod. To Naruto, music drowns out his negative emotions and sees the bright side of things. But it was hard to get the green eyed crush out of his mind as he listens to his lyrics. Oh he wished to just hold her into his arms or to give her a kiss on her pink delicate lips. He loved her so much that he wished they weren't friends, but more than friends. But he just can't help to think of what she sees in Sasuke other than he's good looking. Yeah, he may have the grades and popularity, but what about his personality? What does Sasuke give Sakura that Naruto can't? Is it popularity? Recognition? Naruto ponders over the series of questions to himself. What does Sakura see in Sasuke? He's nothing but a douche who thinks he's better than everybody! Why can't she see that I would be perfect for her? He thought to himself. Just as he was sulking about Sakura and Sasuke's relationship, a knock was heard from his bedroom door.

"Naruto, come down stairs dinner's ready!" His mom calls from the other side of the door. Usually Naruto would gladly rush down the stairs to see what his mom had prepared for him tonight, but today he wasn't hungry.

"No!" He yells loud enough for her to hear. Mrs. Uzumaki was surprised that he had the audacity to yell no to her. She knocks again but this time a bit harder.

"C'mon and eat. Your father and I want to talk to you down stairs." Mrs. Uzumaki steadily keeps her voice calm not wanting to say other things for being defiant. Naruto wasn't helping out to well while she tries to sympathize with her son.

"I don't feel like it!" He whined as he pulls a pillow over his head to muffle out any other sound but his iPod. But the pillow didn't muffle the sound of Naruto's door flying to the ground breaking its hinges. A pink faced woman who is almost rad with long frantic red hair who was wearing a blue apron came in through the dust the door left from the dry wall pissed. Naruto hesitantly and slowly turned his head from his pillow to see his mother's face which in his case was scary.

"What did you just say?" She said while she didn't move her mouth.

"I-I said I'll c-come down stairs to talk with you and d-dad!" Naruto says quickly but she wasn't finished.

"And?!" She yelled waiting for him to finish the sentence.

"I'll eat dinner!" Naruto's mom calmed down with her long red hair now straight. Her skin was now a fair cream color that supports her calm expression. It's really hard to tell that she could actually be that frightening.

"Ok, I'll see you down stairs." After that she left his room leaving Naruto looking at his door on the floor.

"How did she even…"

_-_-_- minutes later-_-_-_

Once Naruto came down the stairs, he saw his father, Minato, sitting at the dining room table and his mother, Kushina, also sitting at the table with their plate full of food. Naruto saw the looks on their faces and he knew it has to be serious. Minato finally spoke to his son," Sit down son."

"W-what's going on?" Naruto asks as he grabs a chair and sat. Minato closed his eyes and created a large sigh before opening his blue eyes back open.

"Naruto, me and your mother have been worried about your behavior recently and were wondering if it's about Sakura." Naruto was embarrassed that they would say something like this and baffled that they guessed right at his behavior.

"No why would you guys think that?" Naruto lied as he tries to hide the fact that they were right all along. Minato looks at Kushina signaling that it's her turn to talk.

"Well Naruto, ever since football season started, you've been home a lot lately. And me and your father figured that Sakura is a cheerleader and she's going out with your friend-" Naruto interrupts Kushina before she could continue.

"WAS my friend." He stated. Kushina never understood his relationship with Sasuke. At first she thought it was kind of cute of them being best friends and eternal rivals at the same time. Who would know it would end to this? Kushina went back to her sentence forgetting that she was interrupted.

"Well she's going out with your EX- best friend that you don't want to see him with your long time crush. And that you might be jealous" Naruto knew that his mom and dad knew about his love for Sakura. They would see Naruto often blush when they were kids and Naruto would just talk about Sakura all day long after she goes home from his house. Naruto was getting irritated that they would assume something like this. This couldn't be true! Can it…? Out of frustration, Naruto jumps up out of his chair," Who said that I was jealous?"

"Calm down Naruto. Your mother and I were just concerned about you that's all. And plus, we don't want you to have one of those "thoughts" again." Minato said in a serious tone. Kushina sadly shook her head as she thought of what happened. She could've lost her son that night… The 'thoughts' that Minato meant was suicide. Naruto may look like the kind of person that is nostalgic at times and goofy too, but he once tried suicide when the early stages of the verbal and physical abuse at school. It was in his 9th grade year right after Sasuke said what he had said; everyone just suddenly hated Naruto like he was the unwanted person on Earth. That he was so unworthy of being in existence. It has gotten to the point when the kids started to write death threats to him. He would literally miss school for days and almost was held back in 9th grade at how many days he had missed and cries at home. One day, he was tired of the threats and decided to give them what they wanted. Next thing you know, luckily, Minato caught Naruto on time with a gun to his head threatening to kill himself. Minato was quick enough to grab the gun away from his son and embrace him with a hug as Naruto cried into his arms," I wanna die! Just let put me out of my misery!" Kushina was heartbroken at the site of a gun to his head as he was crying his eyes out. She didn't know that the abuse at school had gone wrong.

"Dad, that was years ago!" Naruto protested. How much he had hated it, he didn't want to bring it back up again.

"But we almost lost you Naruto." Kushina said as she wipes the tears forming from her eyes with her hand. He hated to see his mom cry and doesn't want to be the cause of it. Naruto decides to drop the old situation and start back on the topic.

"Naruto what we are really trying to say is for you to be active. Go to the game, it isn't late and talks to Sakura. I'm sure she wouldn't mind."

"It's complicated than you think…" Minato and Kushina decided not to ask what he meant by that and kept quiet. After a few minutes of awkward silence, Naruto pushed the chair back to the dining table and was headed towards the stairs.

"Naruto, aren't you going to eat?" Minato asks.

"No I'm not hungry." Naruto said while he went up the stairs to his room. Kushina was about to follow and comfort him but Minato stopped her.

"Don't do it Kushina. Let him rest himself."

Sakura was standing outside of the boy's locker room waiting for Sasuke. The game was over with the victory of 41-10. Most of the points (well all of them) were scored by Sasuke himself. As for Sakura she's been cheering for him all through game as she received deadly glares from other fan girls of Sasuke. She had figured it would be challenging to be his boyfriend. All of the high school girls, some are college girls, would try to flirt with Sasuke every chance they get. Some would even glare or purposely bump into Sakura at school or in public.

The longer she waited for Sasuke, the more she thought about Naruto. She really wanted to apologize to Naruto for the unexpected event. I'm so sorry Naruto. Sasuke mentioned the movies at last minute and I didn't want to disappoint him. I'll make it up to you tomorrow. For some reason she feels guilty leaving Naruto alone like that. He had really wanted to spend some time with her but instead she blows him off for Sasuke. She just hopes that the decision she made wasn't regretful. It was in the middle of September with the weather of 43 degrees as she still waited for Sasuke. Sakura had wished that she was somewhere else warm than outside freezing.

"Sakura I didn't know you would wait for me out here?" asks a familiar voice. As she turns around she saw an onyx haired boy wearing a black jacket with jeans. His black eyes were staring into her light green ones creating a light blush across her cheeks. Who would knew Sasuke was so sexy up close.

"Of course baby, you know I would wait for you." Sakura teased. Sasuke gave her a soft smirk and took off his black jacket and put it around the shivering pink haired girl.

"Here, I don't want you to catch a cold my cherry blossom." He flirted as he rubbed his nose against hers. Sakura felt instantly loved that her boyfriend would give her a jacket and a nickname. I don't see why Naruto thinks lowly of Sasuke. He's such a gentlemen. Sakura and Sasuke walked to Sasuke's car.

"So what movie are we going to see?" Sakura asked while getting inside his black Dodge Challenger. Sasuke searches for his keys and hopped in the driver's seat.

"Well I haven't thought that far ahead Sakura. Why don't we decide once we get there?" He suggested, cranking up the muscle car and turning his heat on high.

"Ok that's fine." Sakura was fine with the plan. She knew that Sasuke didn't have time to look at what's playing in the Theatre for tonight. Sasuke pulled out of the parking space of the recreation center to turn left down the highway to go downtown. He was doing 70 mph in a 55 mph zone. The up roaring of his engine startled Sakura at how fast he's going.

"Uh, Sasuke don't you think you're going a little fast?" Sakura worried as she looks at the car's speeding meter which was steadily growing towards 80.

"Sakura just relax, I'll protect you." He said reassuring that he will come to her aid if something were to happen. Deep down, Sakura doubted it. Surprisingly, they made it to the parking building which across from the theatre. Sakura was shocked herself that she survived that torturous roller coaster ride, walking out of the car wobbling.

"Sasuke, just because your brother got you a muscle car does not mean you can speed down the road with it. This is a public place, you know." Sakura scolded as she was walking side by side with her boyfriend across the street. They notice that the line was long when they arrived onto the lot. Apparently they wanted to see the new scary movie called The Purge.

"Hey Sasuke, do you want to see The Purge?" she asks looking at the movie cover.

"I didn't know you liked scary movies." Sasuke asks surprised that she liked those kinds of movies. Most girls he used to go out with are frightened of seeing Chucky. Who would know that Sakura would love scary movies? Not Sasuke, who is the only one that didn't know this piece of information. Sakura gave him a confused look as she thought, how would you forget what kind of movies I like? Sasuke caught on to Sakura giving him a confused look wondering what he did now.

"What is it now Sakura…" Sasuke groaned as if she did this on a daily basis. Well, technically she did if he forgets what she likes or dislikes. Sakura chose to not argue with him at this time and place. All she wanted is to spend quality time with her boyfriend.

"It's nothing." Sakura said as she was silent in the line along with Sasuke. The line was getting close towards to the ticket paying booth during a 15 minute period. Just as there were ten people in line, Sasuke excuses himself telling her to stay in the line while he had to go buy popcorn, candy, and drinks. Now Sakura stood in the line by herself and 5 minutes had past and the pink haired girl wondered where Sasuke went. She doubted that he went to the snack bar for that long.

"Where in the hell is Sasuke?" she said as she bounces her right leg promptly and crossing her arms across her chest. She was so worried about Sasuke that she didn't realize that she was the next person in line.

"Miss! Hey Miss!" the receptionist repeated through the glass at Sakura.

"Oh I'm sorry. Two tickets for The Purge?"

"That'll be twenty-fifty. And would you like to have some popcorn, candy, and drink?" Sakura paused for a second to process what the receptionist had said. Did she just say popcorn, candy, and drinks?

"Excuse me, mind if I ask, what happened to the snack bar?" Sakura was suspicious, and suspicious for a good reason…

"We are remodeling the snack bar. For right now, you get snacks here." Sakura couldn't believe what just happened. She couldn't process the information through her head to think that Sasuke Uchiha would lie to her.

I planned for this to be having another part to it but I decided to cut it into two parts. So chapter three should be uploaded by late Wednesday or Thursday and we'll go from there!
