Sorry I took so long to update, people. I'm just gonna skip the excuses and get straight into my totally random comment:

My favorite song in the entire world is... drum rolllll...

I will follow you into the dark by death cab for cutie. I totally memorized the entire song a long time ago and now it's stuck in my head out of nowhere!! But i don't mind, lol.

Also, I checked how many people have read the story and how many reviewed. I was really sad. A lot of people read this, but not even 1/4 review!!! Please, guys, drop a review when you're done and brighten my day. Thank you. Now do what you came here to do: READ MY FIC!!

Chapter 3-- What Do You Say?

"Naruto. Come here." Sasuke commanded his friend from across the almost empty hall.

"What now, teme? I gotta piss!"

"I'm gonna ask Sakura out tomorrow morning, so I can't take you home tomorrow. Remember your car." Naruto blinked a few times as the hamster in his head began to run in the rusty wheel.

"WHAT!?!?! Really!!?!?!? She's actually told me she kinda likes you, too! But... How can you seem so... not into it?" Wow. A not-so-retarded question came out of his mouth. Actually, it wasn't a retarded question at all. That hamster must really be working hard in there.

"Hn. Whatever." He turned with his hands in his pockets and trudged away.

"HEY! THAT WASN'T AN ANSWER!!"

"Hi, Sasuke-kun! Where's Naruto?" Sakura greeted the Uchiha as she opened the car door. He had texted her the night before saying he'd pick her up. She didn't see this as a suspicious act or anything since he'd offer every once in awhile.

"He wanted to take his car today." He pulled back onto the street and sped away, not really obeying the speed limit. It's not like he couldn't afford to pay the ticket. But then again, he knew all the streets and corners the cops hid and knew to slow down there.

"Finally! I was afraid it'd rust soon if he didn't get it moving again. It's such a pretty car, too." She began to fiddle with the bracelet on her wrist.

"Sakura, do you want to go out with me?" He asked, barely taking his eyes off the road as he also swiveled around a car that wasn't going 70 mph in the 45mph zone.

"What?" She asked utterly confused.

"Do you want to be my girlfriend?" He rephrased, pulling into the school parking lot.

"I..I.."

He turned to face her completely after pulling the keys out of the ignition. "You know, I kinda just asked you out, so can I have an answer?" His grin made her laugh.

"Yes, Sasuke-kun. I would love to go out with you!" She leaned over and hugged him tightly, which he returned.

News spread like a fart on a bus. First only the people close by knew or noticed, then as those people started making a big deal about it, so did everyone else. Even if they honestly had no idea what was going on.

The two walked hand in hand down the hall. One remained cool and collected while the other was blushing like mad and staring at the floor with a permanent smile.

"Woo-hoo! Sakura and teme sitting in a tree! F-U-C-" Naruto was singing, before Sasuke punched him in the face, of course.

"Sasuke-kun, I need to go to class. I'll see you later at lunch. Bye, Naruto! You might wanna go get some ice for that."

"Wait!" Sasuke pulled her back to him. He held her tight against his defined chest. Her face was yet again red as ever.

"Uhm, yes?" She squeaked.

He leaned his head down and caught her lips in a feverish kiss. When he pulled away, she was even more red.

"I'll walk you to class." He whispered, smiling cutely down at her. She nodded shortly and followed him with her hand locked in his. If I could do that, no way can I be gay.

"GO TEME! GET TO SECOND BASE!"

Days to weeks had passed by, and Sakura was in heaven. She had the boyfriend she secretly always wanted and he wanted her back. Or so she thought. They held hands, made out in empty hallways, blah blah blah.. You know, the whole damn package. Even flowers on the occasion.

But.. Here. Let's just take a peak into one of their makeout sessions in his car. (They skipped lunch.)

Mhmm.. Sasuke-kun.. Ohmigod, this is amazing! More..

Sasuke:

Man, I can taste that granola bar she had. Ew, it had peanut butter. Oh man, I forgot to print the paper for 5th period.. Damn, I guess I can still go to the library before class. I can probably return Neji's notebook on the way. Is he going out with that Tenten girl?

Yeeeeaaaahh... He's obviously not too excited about what's going on. He just let it slide, though. That was his plan since day one when he kissed her for the first time.

Now, let's join the three amigos at lunch as they munched on the edible parts of their...burritos? Wait, no. I think it's a salad. Or maybe bits and pieces of the road kill they saw that morning. Oh well.

"Hey guys! I wanna tell you something. But you have to promise not to laugh, okay?" Naruto asked seriously while digging around for crumbs in his Chico Chips.

The couple looked at each other with uninterested faces and shrugged.

Naruto took a deep breath then leaned across the table towards them. Finally he whispered,

"I have a boyfriend."

Yes, he has told his friends. But will he say who it is? Will Sakura turn out to be homophobic? And what about Sasuke??? I guess you'll have to review and I might update faster.

happy unbirthday
