Can Hardly Wait

Two months later in November, Sakura got out of her car. You're probably wondering about that project, (well if not I'm telling you anyway) her group got a B. Everything was the same, most likely, her and Ino had their conversations, who said they were nice conversations. She walked up to the school wrapping her scarf around her neck. It was a cool morning.

Gasha was leaning against her own car when she spotted Sakura. She got up and walked over to her. Both her or Sakura didn't have boyfriends, and Naruto didn't have a girlfriend (anyone shocked there? I didn't think so). "Hey Sakura!"

"Hey," Sakura said smiling. The two girls headed to the school.

"So how was your weekend?" Gasha asked.

Sakura shrugged. "Nothing important."

They both spotted Naruto with a snowcap on. He grinned and waved. "Hey!"

They looked at each other then looked at the blonde.

The three of them walked into the school.

"Sakura-san! Sakura-san!"

Sakura sighed and turned around seeing Lee run up to her. He blushed and smiled. "Sakura-san?"

"Yeah?" Sakura questioned.

"Will you be my girlfriend!" he blurted it out.

Naruto flinched. 'Why that little…'

Ino and her friends walked by smiling and laughing.

'They heard,' Sakura thought.

'Why that…I can't believe him! We said NO before!'

She looked at Lee with a smiled. "Sorry Lee-san, but my answer is no."

Lee looked at the ground. "That's cool, I guess."

Gasha giggled. 'Poor Lee-san, I almost feel bad for the guy.'

Sakura put a hand on Lee's shoulder. "Come on Lee-san, we can walk."

'What! What do you think you're doing!'

'I just rejected the guy, it's the least I can do.'

Lee smiled and nodded. "Sure."

Naruto and Gasha looked at each other, shrugging they followed.

"Lee-san, why did you ask me? I thought you understood?" Sakura questioned.

"Well I thought maybe you changed your mind," Lee sighed.

Sakura giggled. "Sorry Lee-san, but its my same answer with my same opinion."

Lee nodded and looked at her. "Still friends?"

Sakura nodded. "Friends."

Lee shook his head. "It's going to be hard, you're a goddess."

Sakura slapped his shoulder playfully. "Come on stop it."

Lee nodded. "Okay."

After Lee went to his class, Naruto and Sakura separated with Gasha and went to Kakashi's class. They walked in and Sakura didn't bother looking at the girls in the front.

"Hey big-forehead, did you say yes?" Ino asked getting the attention of the rest of the class. She smirked. "Or did you break the poor guy's heart?"

Sakura sat down in her seat and looked at Ino. "Well Yamanaka…at least I have guys asking me out."

Ino looked at her with an upraised eyebrow. "You turned him down again?" she questioned.

Sakura nodded. "He's my friend…nothing more."

Chi chuckled. "You said no to a senior? You must really have your hopes up, Haruno," she hissed.

Sakura shrugged. "Maybe I do, but so do you."

Naruto looked from the preps then to Sakura. 'They're always on her case.'

Hinata looked at Sakura. "Lee-san again?" she questioned in a whisper so only Sakura could hear.

Sakura nodded. "Yeah…again."

Kakashi appeared before the bell rang (shocker). "Yo!"

Naruto blinked. "Kakashi-sensei, what are you doing here?"

"I teach this class," Kakashi answered.

"He means so early…you don't show up till after the bell," Sakura stated.

Kakashi shrugged and started writing on the board.

Shikamaru mumbled and looked out the window. 'Why do I bother?'

Lunch

Sakura grabbed her tray and walked over to the table (shaped like a circle fits six to seven people) Gasha and Naruto were sitting at. She sighed. "I can't believe Lee-san, I feel bad."

Gasha took a bite out of her homemade sandwich. "I don't see what's so bad," she said with her mouth full smiling.

"Gash that's gross," Sakura giggled knowing very well that her friend did that on purpose.

Gasha swallowed. "Sorry," she said trying to act like an eight-year-old.

Naruto took a drink out of his coke. "The guy really likes you."

"No duh," Sakura remarked lifting up her fork that had a piece of lettuce on it.

Gasha waved at Hinata who was walking toward them. "Hinata-chan over here!"

Sakura looked at her blonde friend. "Nani?"

"I asked her to sit with us today, is that okay?" Gasha asked.

Sakura nodded. "Of course."

Hinata walked up to the table and sat down. "Oi."

"Hey Hinata-chan, don't you usually sit over there…with the preps?" Naruto asked.

Sakura bopped him on the head. "Naruto," she hissed. She looked at Hinata. "Sorry."

Gasha shook her head. "Naruto without you Sakura and myself are considered normal which is right below the preps, but seeing in how you're an annoying loser…"

Naruto stopped her. "Finish it and you'll get jello in your hair."

Gasha stuck her tongue out. "Go to hell." She flipped him off and took another bite out of her sandwich with her nose in the air.

"Fuck yourself," Naruto growled sticking out his tongue.

Sakura giggled and looked at Hinata, who brought out her own lunch. "It's nice of you to join us Hinata."

Hinata smiled. "T-thanks for l-letting me," she stuttered.

"Anytime," Sakura stated.

Gasha smiled and nodded. "Yeah you can always sit with us Hinata-chan."

Hinata smiled and blushed a little. 'That's nice of them, but everyday with Naruto-kun, what if I made a fool of myself?'

Naruto slurped up the miso ramen he got and smiled. "This is great."

Something hit Naruto in the back of his head (a grape) causing it to nearly land in his ramen. Naruto growled and stood up glaring around the room.

Gasha and Sakura tried hiding themselves.

"Naruto, just leave whoever did it alone," Gasha suggested.

Naruto didn't listen and continued searching.

"Naruto, if you don't sit down I'll hurt you," Sakura warned. "It was just a grape, see?" She picked up the little piece of fruit.

"Sorry about this Hinata-chan," Gasha said ashamed by Naruto's actions.

Naruto spotted someone laughing and started walking to the table. He sat his hands down on the table hard and glared at the one he believed did it. "Inuzuka!" he growled.

Kiba smirked. "Yes Uzuamki?"

Naruto spotted the grapes that Kiba most likely threw at him. No one messed with Naruto and got away with it (usually Naruto made a fool out of himself). He grabbed a grape and hit Kiba with it (right in the forehead).

"What the hell was that for?" Kiba asked blinking.

"You know damn right you little fucker!" Naruto hissed throwing another grape.

Kiba stood up both glaring at one another.

"We can take this outside if you like," the brunette hissed through gritted teeth.

"Fine by me," Naruto hissed back.

The two of them walked out of the lunchroom.

"I can't believe he would get up and leave like that," Gasha muttered.

"Hey you guys there's going to be a fight," Kaylin stated walking up to their table.

Sakura's eyes widened. "Don't tell me…"

"It's Uzuamki and Inuzuka!" they heard some guys say running out.

"Shit, not again," Gasha complained.

The three girls stood up and ran out of the doors.

"Naruto, I'm gonna kill you," Sakura vowed.

They saw the circle around the two.

"N-Naruto-kun, Kiba-kun," Hinata said in horror.

Naruto balled his fist. "You won't have a face after this Inuzuka!" Naruto boasted.

"Sure, whatever," Kiba remarked not caring about Naruto's threats.

"Aaaa…" Naruto swung his fist at Kiba's face, Kiba catching it. He tried going under (the stomach) hitting the dog owner.

Kiba coughed and swung his fist at the blonde, hitting Naruto in the jaw.

Naruto swung again punching Kiba in the face this time.

Kiba lifted up his leg as well as Naruto, both moving amazingly fast

Right before they could kick each other, their legs were grabbed. Sasuke appeared between the two and looked at Naruto. "Dobe."

"Sasuke-teme!" Naruto hissed glaring at the raven-haired teen.

Kiba growled and put his foot down after the Uchiha let each of them go.

Naruto was shaking in rage. "Why the hell did you do that!"

"Idiot, it was embarrassing watching you two fight…it was pathetic," Sasuke remarked coldly.

Kiba snorted and left. "We'll finish this later, Uzuamki."

"Naruto!"

Naruto looked forward spotting Sakura walking in between the crowd cracking her knuckles and advancing toward the blonde with fire in her eyes.

Naruto sweat-dropped. 'This isn't going to be good.'

Sakura picked him up by the collar. "You baka! You were fighter because of a stupid grape!" she barked.

Sasuke watched the two then shook his head.

Sakura looked to her side noticing him. "Oh…hi Sasuke-kun," she said blushing, she looked back at Naruto. "Baka!"

'That idiot Sasuke-kun now probably thinks we're losers cause we hang out with this dimwit!'

Hinata and Gasha ran up to the two.

"N-Naruto-kun…are y-you all r-right?" Hinata asked as she walked in front of him seeing blood ooze down his mouth.

"Yeah I'm fine," Naruto answered.

"Good cause Sakura-chan and I are going to kill you!" Gasha claimed.

"You…the one that broke the fight…what's your name?"

They turned around seeing a guy with long black hair and the same white eyes as Hinata.

Hinata's eyes widened, she looked away.

Sasuke looked at him. "Yours first."

The guy smirked. "Hyuuga Neji."

Sakura's eyes widened. 'He's the best boxer on our team…better than Lee-san.'

Gasha smiled. 'He's a senior…I wonder why he's talking to Sasuke.'

"Uchiha Sasuke," the raven-haired teen informed smirking.

"Just as I thought," Neji replied. He turned around and started walking away, Hinata's eyes following him as he went.

Naruto huffed out of jealously. 'I was the one fighting! Why wasn't I noticed!'

The five juniors left the spot and returned to lunch.

"You idiot what if you got caught?" Gasha questioned bopping Naruto on the head like Sakura did before.

Naruto rubbed his sore spot. "Then I would have to see the old pervert."

Sakura shook her head. "I wished Inuzuka-san would have kicked your face in!" she hissed. "Embarrassing us like that!"

Hinata looked at the ground as they walked; she really didn't have anything to say. She was glad neither of her friends were hurt in anyway, she wished they didn't fight period, but she didn't think that would ever happen.

Sasuke had his hands in his pocket. "You looked stupid, dobe," he stated.

Naruto glared at him. "Well then you could have left!"

"You should thank Sasuke-kun…he saved you from an ass beating!" Sakura bellowed.

Naruto crossed his arms over his chest, angry. 'Sasuke this Sasuke that, 'Sasuke-kun' my ass…what about me?' He cleaned out his ear with his pinky as Sakura continued.

Gasha crossed her arms over her chest. "I'm lucky that I wasn't embarrassed." 'He wasn't there…well I didn't see him, but I doubt he'd waste his time watching something so stupid and pointless.'

"I'm g-glad t-that you're okay," Hinata stuttered playing with her fingers.

Naruto looked at her. "Inuzuka couldn't beat me if he tried, I could kick his ass with one hand behind my back."

"Let's try it next time," Sakura suggested. "Since you claim you will win so easily."

Sasuke walked to where he was before the fight leaving it to just four. Sakura watched him walk up to the window seal and sat down. She blinked. 'Sasuke-kun.'

They took their seats.

Gasha sighed. "What is this…your fifth fight this year…your third with Inuzuka-san?" she questioned.

Naruto pouted as he ate his ramen. "Something like that." He put the hot noodles in his mouth.

Sakura shook her head. "As much as Yamanaka and I hate each other you don't see us fighting," she claimed.

"Well that's because of your past," Naruto stated.

"You were sort of friends with Inuzuka-san," Sakura informed.

Naruto grumbled. "Like you said…sort of."

Hinata looked at Naruto. 'Naruto-kun…what is on your mind?'

Gasha sighed again. "Naruto…Naruto…Naruto…when will you learn, huh?"

Naruto shrugged taking another bite from his noodle.

Gasha was tapped on the shoulder. She turned around and smiled. "Oi." She stood up by Shino. "Ready?"

Shino nodded.

Gasha smiled at the three at the table. "See you guys later." She turned to Shino. "So how have you been?" she asked as they walked away again.

Sakura blinked. "See I'm still confused about that," she mumbled under her breath.

"Is Shino-kun a-and Gasha-chan in some kind of relationship?" Hinata asked stuttering on a few words.

Sakura looked at her. "I don't know, I thought Gasha would tell me if she were."

Naruto sat down his chopsticks. "Well I say it's not any of our business…" 'Plus I could care less,' he added to himself.

Sakura sighed. "Naruto, you're such a pain."

That's it for chapter five! Yea! Finally it's here.
