Can Hardly Wait

"Sakura! Sweetie get up!"

Sakura's eyes opened as she heard her mother's voice from her door. She sat up and rubbed her sleepy eyes.

"Don't forget honey, you have to wear your uniform today."

"Thanks Mom!" Sakura shouted. She stood up and grumbled. 'We have a game today, great…it's probably girls' volleyball.' She and walked up to her closet and opened it.

By the way they wear uniforms if they have a game or something that involves school spirit, really stupid, but she wasn't the creator of the idea. She looked at her blue school uniform. It was a short skirt and a top that had a red tie on it like Kagome's from Inuyasha but blue. She slipped it on and put on her black sandals. She was guessing it was their perverted principal's idea for he would have the skirts this short for his own pleasure. She put a clip in her hair and smiled. "Perfecto!" She winked and turned on her heel grabbing her bag and leaving. She picked up her cell-phone and left.

She pulled up to the school parking lot and once again spotted Naruto, looking at her. She got out of her car, noticing he was in his blue uniform, shirt un-tucked like every other boy's. She rolled her eyes. "Yes Naruto?"

He walked up to her, he looked mad. "Sasuke-teme was at your house yesterday?"

Sakura looked at him. "Uh…yeah…how did you…"

Naruto cut her off by waving her hands out in front of him. "Why? You told me you were going to Ino's! Why!"

Sakura quirked an eyebrow by his weirdness. "Naruto…chill, jeez, I can do whatever I please."

"But I'm your friend…I was worried when I saw him yesterday!" Naruto bellowed.

"You saw him?" Sakura questioned blinked.

"Yeah and he was all like 'I don't think it's any of your business' and 'what do you think'! I mean the guy sounded like you did something!" he fumed shaking his head.

Sakura's eyes widened. 'Did he tell Naruto about the kiss?'

"He wouldn't tell me dammit!"

Sakura's eyes fell, she looked at Naruto with a bored expression. 'Okay he didn't, but still I'm confused.' "Naruto, get a life."

"That's what he said!" Naruto growled looking up at the sky.

Sakura ignored him after that; she really didn't want to hear his complaining. She spotted Gasha walking over also in her uniform. "Gasha-chan!" she waved her hand smiling as they walked closer. "Hey!"

Gasha smiled and ran up to them. "Hey guys!"

Naruto looked at her and grabbed her shoulders. "Did you know Sakura-chan was going to have Sasuke-teme over? Huh? Did you?" he asked shaking the poor girl.

Gasha smiled weakly as Naruto shook her like a child did a present. "Uh…no…c-can…you…stop?" She knew she was lying but she didn't want to upset the boy anymore, she knew he hated Sasuke.

Naruto let go of her, causing Gasha to fall on the ground. He scratched his chin. "So she didn't tell you either? Okay…I'm better."

Sakura sighed and helped Gasha up. "Sorry about that." She looked at Naruto. "Take a damn chill pill Naruto!"

"Gasha?"

Gasha turned around facing one of the guys from her team that Kurenai put her with.

Sakura looked at him. 'Aburame Shino?' She looked at Gasha.

Gasha smiled and looked at Sakura. "See you later, Sakura-chan." The two of them turned around and walked off.

Sakura blinked. 'Could that be the guy? The guy she likes?' She watched her friend walk into the building. 'How weird, she didn't even say anything about yesterday.'

Naruto blinked as well and looked at Sakura. "What was all that about?"

Sakura shrugged. "I don't know," she answered looking back at him. "We better get to class."

Naruto nodded and the two of them walked into the building, a pair of eyes watching them.

Sakura sighed and shoved her book into her locker after fourth hour. She walked in seeing their teacher leaning against his desk. He reminded her of Rock Lee, well Rock Lee reminded her of this teacher. She smiled and waved. "Hello Gai-sensei!" she took her seat and sat down getting ready for fifth hour.

"Good day Ms. Haruno," he replied.

Sakura noticed he was talking to another student (probably from his last hour.) Sakura got a better look at the girl. She too was wearing the school uniform, she had long brunette a hair in two buns above her head. The girl turned around and smiled at Sakura. She had the biggest chocolate brown eyes Sakura had ever seen; she waved back. She was very pretty. The girl exited and Sakura blinked, she didn't know who that was.

She looked back at Gasha. "Hey Gash, who was that?"

Gasha looked up. "Huh? Who?"

"That girl that was in here?" Sakura questioned.

Gasha smiled. "Silly Sakura, that was TenTen, you know, she's the best at sports, I can't believe you didn't know that."

Sakura blinked. "I never thought she would look like that…she's a senior right?"

Gasha nodded. "Yep…I say she the prettiest in the senior class, but it's really strange…she doesn't have a boyfriend," Gasha stated, sighing. "How could someone that pretty not have a boyfriend?"

"I could say the same thing about Sakura-san."

Sakura froze and turned around. "Oi Lee-san! What are you doing here?"

Lee looked at her and blushed. "I came here to talk to Gai-sensei…uh see you later." He ran up to the teacher.

Sakura blinked and looked at Gasha who was smirking. "Lee-san has a point Sakura, why don't you have a boyfriend?" Gasha questioned nudging her friend.

"You know why I don't. I like Sasuke-kun," Sakura whispered. "Why aren't you dating anybody, Gasha?"

Gasha crossed her arms in front of her chest slowly. "Well Sakura-chan…I only want one guy as well…I will not date anybody but him."

Sakura smiled and rested her hands on her chin leaning on the desk. "I can't believe you won't tell me, I told you Gash."

Gasha stuck her tongue out playfully. "That's your mistake," she teased, giggling.

Sakura giggled to herself and shook her head. "Gasha…you're such a pain."

Naruto sat down and glared back at Sasuke. He growled and stood back up stomping over to the Uchiha's desk. "Sasuke-teme," he spat.

Sasuke looked up his hands clasped together on the desk in front of his face. "What now?"

Naruto sat in the seat in front of him (sitting in the desk the wrong way). "I want to know WHY!" he demanded, in a quiet voice so Sakura wouldn't hear.

"Why what?" Sasuke questioned annoyed, this blonde was getting on his last nerves.

"Why you were at Sakura-chan's place?" Naruto asked.

"Not this again," Sasuke mumbled under his breath. He looked at Naruto. "It was for the stupid project baka."

"Is that it?" Naruto questioned with an upraised eyebrow.

Sasuke growled. "Yes that's it."

Naruto relaxed a bit, almost grinning to himself. He heard Sakura and Gasha's laughter from where he was at (they weren't even that far, three desks in front to the left.) Naruto sighed and leaned into the desk. "What was I thinking? Sakura-chan might like you, but she'd never do anything with a loser like you."

'Loser like me?' Sasuke looked at Naruto. 'This guy really needs to get a life.'

"Naruto…sit down and take your seat."

Naruto turned around noticing Gai-sensei was talking to him. He stood up and walked back to his desk, Sakura watching him as he did.

'What was he talking about with Sasuke-kun?' She looked at the Uchiha then at the front of the room.

'That loser, better not have embarrassed us in front of Sasuke-kun! I'll kill him if he did! (Fire in eyes again)'

Sakura sighed. 'I'd kill him too.'

The bell rung.

"See you guys tomorrow," Gai stated writing on the board.

Sakura stood up and looked at Gasha. "Ready to go?" she asked.

Gasha nodded and they walked out.

Naruto stood up and started walking after them, but was stopped.

"Hey dobe."

The Uzumaki turned around and faced the Uchiha. "What?"

Sasuke smirked. 'This loser would fall for anything.' "I wouldn't relax so easily, I'm still around."

Naruto blinked as his rival exited the room. "'I wouldn't relax so easily, I'm still around' what did he mean by that?" Naruto asked himself. He left the room to head to sixth hour.

He walked in, seeing Sasuke he decided to talk to him about what he said earlier.

Sakura stepped in front of the blonde stopping him in his tracks. "What do you think you're doing, Naruto?" she asked with an upraised eyebrow.

'Leave Sasuke-kun alone! He doesn't like losers like you!'

Naruto smiled, he was getting uneasy. He didn't want to tell Sakura what the Uchiha and him were talking about; she'd be pissed. "Nothing," he lied rubbing the back of his head. "Just having a conversation with Sasuke about an assignment."

Sakura rolled her eyes; she didn't believe a word. "Whatever." She turned around and sat down in her seat.

Gasha blinked. "You okay?"

Sakura nodded. 'I want to know what they're talking about, it isn't like Naruto to hide something from me let alone talk to Sasuke-kun, and for Sasuke-kun to talk back to him.' She blinked. 'What is up with them?'

Gasha looked at Naruto and Sasuke also with a questionable look. 'That must be bugging her.'

Ino walked in giggling and spotted Sasuke and Naruto talking. An eyebrow raised on her forehead. 'What could they be talking about? That loser probably wants to cheat off of Sasuke's paper.' She saw Chi looking too. The two of them blinked and shrugged walking to their seats.

Hinata looked from her seat as she watched Naruto. 'Naruto-kun and Sasuke-san?' She looked at Sakura and waved.

"Ohayo Hinata-chan!" Sakura said smiling.

"Hey Hinata-chan!" Gasha said also smiling at the Hyuuga.

Hinata smiled. "Hello," she replied. She looked at the board and started writing down the notes Anko put up (Anko only had journalism second hour then she was teaching this class the rest.)

Sasuke opened his eyes as he heard Naruto sit down. "Do you have a problem, dobe?"

Naruto glared at the Uchiha. "What you said earlier….what did it mean?" he asked with an upraised eyebrow.

Sasuke shook his head. "Ask someone else baka, you're getting on my nerves." He closed his eyes again ignoring the blonde beside him.

Naruto got up and sat down in his seat which was one before the one in front of Sasuke's. He looked over at Sakura who was behind one to the right. 'What the hell did he mean by that?'

Sakura looked at Naruto who was staring at her. "What?" she asked through gritted teeth.

"Sakura-chan, what does it mean when someone tells you 'I wouldn't relax so easily, I'm still around'?" Naruto questioned remembering that moment.

Sakura blinked. "It depends on the person I guess…what were they talking about?" she asked. 'He's confusing me, I have no idea if he doesn't give anymore information.'

Naruto scratched his head. "Uh well…a girl," he answered.

Sakura blinked and looked at Gasha who was listening in. "What do you think Gash?"

Gasha smiled. "Naruto, who ever told you this, was trying to tell you not to get comfortable, he's still there which mostly like means that the girl you like has another guy liking her instead of you, or he could be toying with you," she stated grinning. Sakura looked at Naruto. 'Whoa confusing.'

Gasha turned around in her seat looking at Sasuke. 'So that is what you two were talking about, what are you planning? We all know you don't like anyone, but why would you toy with Naruto?' She turned back around seeing Naruto also looking at Sasuke; Naruto turned back around. The two looked at each other and shrugged.

Sakura blinked. 'Who would Naruto be talking to with that subject?'

'Well it's obvious…the guy with fuzzy eyebrows, they both have a crush on you, so that's who it has to be…they haven't gotten over our good looks.'

Sakura blushed ashamed and shook her head. 'That's stupid…Lee-san and Naruto both know I won't date neither of them, they're just getting their hopes up.'

Gasha cleared her throat snapping Sakura out of her trance. The pink-haired girl looked at her friend. "Yeah?"

Gasha smiled. "Nothing, you looked zoned out." She smiled innocently.

Sakura nodded. "I did for a little bit."

Anko cleared her throat and smiled. "Alright…the assignment is on the board…if you have any questions don't be afraid to ask."

Sakura pulled out her notebook and a pencil. She started to think. She could easily do this assignment but she wanted to finish her big time article, what was she going to use for it. She shook her head. She started writing down the answers, once again she was being watched.

That's it for chapter four, how was it? Thank you guys so much!
