Hey! I'm surprisingly glad that this story is doing quite well to my liking. I like to thank the people that kept supporting me throughout this story and for reading and taking your time to review. Lately, I've been feeling kind of lost about this chapter meaning I didn't know how to start it off. Either does a time skip or just continue where I left off. But then if I continued on either option, what will the direction head towards? I guess I've been kind of depressed lately other than school starting… I sure did have a good Christmas break but sadly I have to wait possibly three more months until summer vacation. And I'm impatient that the Naruto manga is coming out really slow! Face it, I'm a NaruHina fan to heart when it comes to cannon, but I also like to read NaruSaku fics because of the interesting plots the authors of the story are creating. Tbh, I thought of this story when thinking of a romantic love triangle between team seven. (Well as you can see, it's not a romantic love triangle after all) I thought I could add a twist to this story but I'm still learning. If you read some of my other stories, I have indeed improved from the very first time I was here to now from writing adventures, action, humor, and T rated romance I have finally came to sense that I could make me a good M rated story. Sorry for the long author's note but I just felt I need to pour out my thoughts right now…Here's your new chapter~ Annrob22

Chapter 5: A worrisome face

"What did I do to disserve this?" Sakura thought to herself as she was left on the ground silently crying in her hands which cupped her face. The bell finally rings signaling that lunch time was over. To avoid any stares to her, she went in the girls' restroom to wipe the tears from her face and to clean herself up for no one to even notice that she had even cried.

She's in a deeper hole than she thought is all Sakura could think in her second to last class for the day. With Sasuke's threat she didn't know what she could do? Either follow his orders or risk getting hurt any further. And past that fact, she was thinking about Naruto. About the blonde idiot that she loved. Sakura pauses for a moment, does she really love Naruto? If so she could have the strength to tell him the truth. But then again, she doesn't want to risk Naruto getting hurt by Sasuke. She starts fiddling with the led pencil she has in her hand to calm down her nerves. But Naruto will find out eventually about her and Sasuke by seeing them together because after all, Sasuke did wanted that kind of attention letting every boy know that she's his. Sakura starts to tap the end of her mechanical pencil on her desk quickly. What can she do? She really hates to see her favorite blonde be mad at her or possibly won't talk to her ever again. Sakura's annoying tapping of her pencil caused the whole attention of the class to stare at her. Nothing but silence was among the students.

"Ahem, Miss Haruno is you done disturbing my class?" asked Kurenai sensei. Her long black full hair rested on the middle of her back as her red eyes looked at Sakura waiting for an answer. She bows her head in embarrassment," Y-yes ma'am…" she says under her breath loud enough for her sensei to hear. Without further ado, Kurenai continued her Social Studies lesson for another thirty minutes before the bell rang signaling for homeroom.

"Ano Sakura may I speak to you for a second?" the red eyed teacher asked Sakura who was heading towards the door. She turns around and heads toward her sensei.

"Yes sensei?"

"It's not like you to space out in class like that. Is there something wrong that I need to know about?"

"No ma'am," I can't let her have any clues either;" I just had a long weekend." Kurenai stares at her student for a minute before buying her story.

"Well okay then. Next time, don't fidget with your led pencil." She said with a smile which Sakura returned back to her.

"Yes sensei." And left the room. She wasn't fooled by that fake smile her favorite student gave. Something was definitely wrong and she will get to the bottom of this. Kurenai's friendly expression transformed into a thoughtful glare.

What's up with her?

Sakura walked through the crowded hall towards her homeroom class. What she didn't expect was a strong hand grasping her shoulder. Her eyes widened at the thought of Sasuke touching her but relief overcame her as her eyes met with blue ones. His blonde hair hanging over his forehead with a worried expression of his love's face. Scared.
"Um Sakura are you alright?" Naruto asks still holding his gaze with her light green eyes. It took her a while to respond with a shaky voice," Y-yeah I'm fine." She tore from his hold and headed towards their homeroom leaving the blonde dumbfounded. Did I upset her? I hope I didn't do anything wrong to hurt her. His thoughts drifted to her eyes. It wasn't full of cheerfulness as it used to. Now it's fear. Is she afraid of me or…? He looked towards his homeroom door seeing the pink haired girl take her seat. Her expression reverted back from minutes earlier. Stunned. Sakura what happened to you?

Btw: Ano is Japanese for "Um…"

Thought I should add that little lesson on here.
