Thank you, everyone that reviewed!
Concerning the book fight between Sasuke and Sakura last chapter: That was based on a fight me and one of my friends, Brian, last chapter. Except, we were using pillowcases that we made in Consumer Ed. If you want to know the whole story, tell me, and I'll tell you next chapter. Thanks (If you're reading this, which you probably aren't) Brian!

---Lunch---
Sakura trudged down the halls, mumbling to herself. "Stupid Sasuke... Stupid Sasuke..."
"Sakura!" Ino ran up from behind and poked at Sakura's arm. "What's up?"
"The sky." Sakura answered tonelessly.
"You're so boring! It's always 'The sky, the sun, the little birdies.'" Ino threw up her hands in disbelief.
"Well, Ino, if you would actually look up, you would see I'm right." Sakura opened her locker, stuffing in her books.
"Hey, you two." A voice cut through the air, causing Sakura to slam her locker shut, wheel around, and point an accusing finger at the person. To her surprise, it was Shikamaru. His gaze went to her finger, to her face, and back to her finger. "What's with her?" He asked Ino.
"I dunno. She's been like this ever since this morning." Ino shrugged and leaned back against the locker bank.
"S-sorry, Shikamaru! I thought you were Sasuke!" Sakura sputtered before clapping her hands over her mouth in horror at what she had said.
"Sasuke? As in that guy Ino forced you to talk to last night?" Shikamaru looked at Sakura questioningly.
"I-I didn't say anything!" Sakura felt her face turn red as she felt someone walk up behind her.
"What didn't you say?" A voice asked.
"LEAVE ME ALONE, STUPID!" Sakura yelled, spinning around and nearly punching the person behind her.
"W-what did I do?" Chouji held up his hands.
"Sorry, I thought you were this guy in my class that is really annoying." She emphasized 'annoying' before walking to the lunchroom.
"Hey, Sakura, wait up!" Ino ran after her best friend.
"Women." Shikamaru mumbled, rolling his eyes before walking after the two, with Chouji following suit.
---The Lunchroom---
Sakura walked towards the lunch line and grabbed a tray.
"What would you like today, dear?" The lunch lady asked her.
"Pasta, please." Sakura mumbled. The lunch lady placed a plate of food on Sakura's tray and Sakura stalked off towards the tables.
"She sure seems to be in a bad mood today." The lunch lady watched Sakura's retreating back before serving another student.

"Argh!" Sakura sat down at the round table where Ino and Shikamaru were already sitting with their lunches.
"Geez, Sakura. What's wrong with you?" Ino asked, picking up her sandwich.
"An idiot with stupid hair and an even stupider smirk." Sakura mumbled, glaring at the pasta before picking up her fork and stabbing violently through a piece. Examining it, she imagined it was Sasuke's head before eating it.
"Mind if I sit here? All the other tables are full." Sakura scowled at the voice behind her.
"Yes." Sakura mumbled.
"No, go ahead." Shikamaru gestured at the chair next to Sakura. Sakura turned her head towards the boy with oh-so-familiar black hair.
"Are you stalking me or something?" Sakura angrily muttered.
"Maybe." Came the answer.
"Ah. Remind me to call the police later." Sakura turned back to her pasta and resumed eating it.
"But then, who would want to stalk someone as annoying as you?" He smirked.
"You know what, Sasuke?" Sakura stood up and faced him. "I'm sick of you and your stupid, 'You're annoying' thing!" She picked up her fork and held it inches from his face, prongs towards him. "Now, I highly suggest you leave me alone unless you want to die a horribly painful and fiery death involving charcoal, some gasoline, and a match!" She glared at him with contempt.
"So?" He merely brushed her fork away from his face and stood up, standing a good few inches taller than the pink-haired figure skater. Sakura looked up and realized he was overshadowing her.
"Argh!" She flopped back down onto her chair. "I really, really hate you now."
"Okay." He smirked again and sat down.
"Wow, Sasuke." Ino looked at the mentioned boy. "Nobody's ever just said, 'So' to Sakura's blowtorch threat before!"
"Your point being?" Sakura glowered at Ino.
"Ah, nothing!" Ino quickly answered.
"Hmph." Sakura got up and walked away without finishing her pasta.
"You know," Shikamaru looked at Sasuke, "I think you're the first boy she's ever actually hated."
"Really, now?"
"Yeah." Shikamaru nodded.
"Go apologize!" Ino pointed towards the door. "Now!"
"Why should I?" Sasuke picked up his fork and tried to eat, but Ino grabbed his fork before he did.
"You aren't getting this back until you go get her." Ino waved the fork in his face.
Sasuke glared at her before getting up and following Sakura into the building.
"Ino, I think you're overdoing it." Shikamaru sighed.
"Shut up!"
---With Sasuke---
"Stupid women." Sasuke grumbled, walking after Sakura. "Hey! Wait up!" He called to her. She continued to stomp along the hallway. "I said, wait!" He continued to call after her.
After the 5th time, he ran up to her and grabbed her arm. "Can't you hear?" He asked her. She wrenched her arm out of his grip and continued to walk towards her locker.
"Can. You. Understand. Me?" He asked her, enunciating every word.
"Leave me alone." She opened her locker and grabbed a book.
"Listen to me." He grabbed her shoulder.
"No."
"Please?"
"No. Way."
"You do realize that answering me means you're listening, right?"
"Ye- Oh, shoot." She stopped.
"I see that got you to listen." He smirked and turned her around.
"Leave me alone." She avoided his gaze.
"Erm... I've never done this before but..." He scratched his head. "Sorry."
"You don't mean it." Sakura began to walk away, but was stopped by Sasuke again.
"How could I make you see that I do mean it?"
"There is no way." She glared at him before trying to walk away. Sasuke frowned and grabbed her arm. "Let me go."
The only reply she received was a hug.
