Can Hardly Wait

'It's been three days of hell since Kurenai-sensei assigned our groups and lucky me to have Sasuke on my team, but Ino as well. It's seems a bit odd, Kurenai put people that hate each other on the same team like Kiba and Naruto and I and Ino. There is also Gasha and May-Lynn who wish to kill each other, just like Ino and I. This has to be the worst year of my life. On the bright side, Sasuke and I are in the same group.' Sakura was forced out of thoughts.

"Big-forehead! Big-forehead!" Ino's voice ran through Sakura's ear.

Sakura glared at the girl who sat on her couch. Sakura looked around the room, Shikamaru was on the chair, and Sasuke was leaning against the wall. "Yes Ino-pig?" Sakura questioned.

Ino looked at her annoyed. "We have to get started on this project from hell," Ino stated crossing her arms over her chest.

Sakura growled. "I knew that already!" she snapped. Having Ino around was not the best idea that was ever thought of. "You can leave if you wish! I can do the project by MYSELF!"

Ino looked back at her.

"Kurenai-sensei forbids it, I already thought of the idea, she barked at me, we have to do this project as a group," Shikamaru mumbled.

Ino sighed in disappointment. "Damn," she cursed.

This was hopeless. "Well that brings us back to square one," Sakura muttered.

"Bothersome women," Shikamaru mumbled under his breath.

Sakura glared at him. "Shut up!"

Ino glared at the lazy bum as well. "You can be quiet too, none of us want to listen to you complain anyway," Ino said shrugging.

"Like you should talk," Sakura said looking at Ino.

Ino glared at the pink-haired girl. "I've waited too long for this Sakura, we'll settle everything right here!"

Sakura stood up from the table chair. "Let's see it Yamanaka!" The two girls charged for each other.

"Both of you shut the fuck up," Sasuke ordered his eyes closed.

Sakura and Ino stopped and both looked at Sasuke.

"Sasuke-kun," they both replied.

Shikamaru stood up. "Find an idea and give me a call, this is boring," he yawned, heading to the door.

Sasuke stepped away from the wall. "Whatever," he mumbled. He left closing the door behind him.

Ino blinked at the door and looked at Sakura. "I have practice anyway," she stated crossing her arms again. She headed to the door.

Sakura watched her do so. "The next flipping meeting is at your place," she hissed.

Ino growled and opened the door. She opened it and slammed it shut. Sakura rolled her eyes and headed up to her room.


Ino stormed up to her car and swung the door open. 'Stupid Sakura, scaring Sasuke-kun off!' She snorted. 'I'm better anyway.' She started her car and pulled out of the Haruno's driveway not looking back at the house. She headed towards the school gym.

She pulled up to the school and parked her car. She walked of her vehicle grabbing her gym bag. She slammed her door again and stormed up to the school.

School had been out for two hours and it was time for her cheerleading practice. She closed her eyes trying to control her temper.

"Ah, Yamanaka."

Ino opened her eyes and looked to her left. "Mishi," she replied facing a girl with long aqua colored her and yellowish-grayish eyes. 'Mishi Chi, one of my best friends, but of course another Sasuke fan. I've known her since the end of fifth grade when I first went to cheer camp. I could tell her anything, well not everything.' They both had their gym shorts on and a tank top.

The two of them headed to the gym and walked in seeing other girls already stretching. Ino sighed and looked at Chi. "You are so lucky to have decent people in your group," she muttered.

"You're lucky to have Sasuke-kun in yours. Besides I don't have one class with the great Uchiha and you have almost every single one," Chi proclaimed.

"But Haruno is also in each one of those classes," Ino mumbled looking away at the side, somewhat ashamed.

Chi giggled, she lifted a finger in the air.

'Oh no here comes a lesson from the great Mishi Chi,' Ino thought rolling her eyes.

"Maybe it's fate Ino-san, its very possible, think about it,' Chi said preaching.

Ino grumbled. "Fate for what? I don't get to say three words to Sasuke-kun and when I do he's ignoring every word," she stated.

Chi sighed. "You and every other girl in this school."

They both sat down spreading their legs to begin stretching. The whole squad of girls was made of Sasuke fans, only two that Ino could think of didn't have their eyes or hearts set on him. That's a lot of enemies.

Their head leader who was also, Anko, stood up in front of them. She sighed. "Girls, today I just want you to the basic cheers to start off," Anko instructed.

The group of girls nodded and got into their formation.

"This is going to be a long day," Ino yawned closing her eyes.


Sakura sat on her bed writing down in her journal. She couldn't stop thinking about her end of the year project. She didn't know what to use. She shook her head and stood up. She had better stuff to do anyway. She dropped her notepad and left her room shutting the door.
Naruto kicked the soccer ball in his room with his knee. Kicking it over and over keeping his eyes on it. He growled and kicked it once it hit the floor. The ball hit the wall knocking off a picture that hung on the wall. He ignored the fallen picture and left his room. He hopped down the stairs.

"Naruto?"

Naruto stopped once he reached the front door. He turned around to see a man with brown hair and a scar across his nose. "Iruka-sensei, I'm heading out," he stated. 'Iruka-sensei, the man that took me in and raised me under his roof. I'm truly grateful for that, but sometimes he can get on my nerves just a little bit though.'

Iruka nodded. "Go on."

Naruto opened the door and started walking. If he calculated correctly the Hyuuga mansion was only five miles away, but knowing him he probably messed up on them, they were most likely blocks instead of miles.

After thirty minutes or so of walking he came upon the mansion. His group decided to meet at Hinata's, after he had refused to go to Kiba's and Kiba refused to go to his. He rang the doorbell and it opened with a smiling Hinata. She blushed and let him in, Kiba behind her wrinkling his nose.

Naruto and Kiba couldn't stop glaring at each other. They sat down on the couch and the other girl, Kaylin, looked at them. "We're doing our project on effects on plants from different type of weather, soil, the time of day its watered, in the sun or not, and etc. I think you get it," she said counting her fingers.

Hinata nodded and looked at the two boys. Kiba growled, beside his leg was his dog,Akamaru.

Naruto chuckled. "Your dog is as ugly as you Inuzuka," he stated standing up.

Akamaru growled and Kiba looked down at him. "He's just jealous that we at least have looks," he proclaimed.

"Arg," Naruto hissed.

"N-Naruto-kun…Kiba-kun….p-please s-stop," Hinata pleaded. Naruto and Kiba sat on separate couches.


Sakura opened her door seeing her friend smiling at her. "Gasha, what are you doing here? Don't you have a project to work on?" she asked.

"I could ask the same question," Gasha gleamed. "I am going to after this…but I need to use 'your' special top."

Sakura smiled. "For who? He's on your team?"

Gasha blushed and nodded. "You'll find out later." She walked in and looked at Sakura. "Why aren't you working on yours?"

"My team had something better to do," Sakura stated.

Gasha nodded and Sakura handed her the shirt. Gasha smiled bowing, then left. Sakura smiled and looked at the clock. Her team's assignment was on birth rate, so boring, the others got better ones, but theirs was all on the Internet.

Sakura noticed her cell phone beeping. She picked it up. "Hello?"

"Big-forehead, for the record I didn't want to call you, but the meeting is at my house, in an hour don't be late or don't show," said a voice. Sakura knew it was Ino.

Sakura growled. "How did you get my number?"

"I have my ways," Ino hissed then she hung up.

Sakura growled again and threw the phone across the room. Now she would have to check whom called, if Ino and her minions called it would be hell. In an hour she would get to see Sasuke again, but also Ino.
