HIGH SCHOOL BAD BOYS
CHAPTER 8
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sasuke and Naruto nearly fell to the ground in unison.
"What?" yelled Naruto and Sasuke in unison, "Boyfriend?"
"Is he for real?" thought Sasuke.
"No way! This-This bushy brow is Sakura's boyfriend!" thought Naruto.
Sakura sighed, "Lee, I told you were not going out." she took the flowers that Lee handed her and set them aside. She looked over at Naruto and Sasuke, "He's my friend. We went to private school together."
Naruto sighed, "I knew he couldn't possibly be her boyfriend!" thought Naruto.
"I see." said Sasuke with a bit of relef.
Lee sighed, "Why not Sakura?" he asked pleadingly.
"Lee, I'm sorry I just don't feel that way about you. I already told you." she tilted her head, "How did you know I was here anyway?" she asked, changing the subject.
Lee sat down in Naruto's chair. Naruto scowled that he stole his chair but then leaned against the wall instead.
"Your father told me. He figured I should know since I'm your friend."
Sakura nodded. "Oh." she smiled, "Well, Lee this is my two friends from Konoha Valley High. Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki."
Lee nodded at them, "Very nice to meet you!" he said happily. He extended his hand towards them. Sasuke shrugged and Naruto nodded. Lee laughed weakly and pulled his hand back.
Sakura smiled, "So how did the try-outs go?" she asked.
"Try-outs?" asked Lee.
Sakura nodded, "Yeah. Were all trying out for the school play." she answered.
Lee smiled, "I hope you get the lead role!"
Sakura laughed softly, "Thanks. So, how did it go?" she asked.
Sasuke dug his hands in his pockets, "Good. Naruto and I got a call back."
Sakura nodded, "For what role?" she asked.
"Billy." answered Naruto.
"That's great! I'm happy!" she smiled, "Who else got callbacks?" she asked curiously.
Sasuke looked over at Naruto, "Umm…Ino did. For the part of Julie." said Naruto. "You two have to perform again in front of Kakashi and two others for the part."
Sakura's face paled slightly, "O-oh." she whispered and forced a small smile, "Good for her…"
Sakura hadn't told Sasuke, Naruto, her father, Kakashi or anyone else who did this to her. Though she didn't need to, Sasuke and Naruto probably know well who did it. As for Kakashi, she just hoped he wouldn't ask as well as everyone else. Surprisingly she came up with the excuse she fell down the stairs, thought Kakashi, Sasuke, and Naruto would know she was lying. Konoha Valley High doesn't have any stairs, it only has a three step ones that lead to the office.
She looked down at the blankets that engulfed her form. She was told she would go home today, but could she really face Ino and Hinata again?
Lee noticed the look on her face. "What's wrong?" he asked.
She blinked, "Wha-? Oh, nothing." she answered with a small smile, "Just a bit sleepy." she lied. She felt another ping inside of her, she didn't like to lie to friends or family.
Naruto and Sasuke could see right through her act. Lee nodded, "Get some sleep Sakura. It'll help you out to get better!"
Sakura nodded. Lee then asked the question she had feared, "What did happen?" he asked.
Sakura frowned, "Oh…uh. I tripped down the stairs." she whispered as she told another lie.
Naruto and Sasuke noticed the pained look on her face. Lee opened his mouth but brown haired nurse came back in. There attention was brought to her.
She smiled, "Sorry guys, but you guys have to back into the lobby room. Sakura has to get changed."
The three boys filed out of the room without any heisitation.
--------------------------------------------------------
Lee turned towards the two. "What really happened to Sakura?" he asked.
Naruto scoffed, "What makes you so sure she was lying?" he asked.
Lee furrowed his brow, "I'm her friend. I'm not that stupid." he answered.
Sasuke scoffed, "And then what? There's nothing you can do about it."
Lee glared at Sasuke who only returned the glare. "I care for her." he gritted.
"Don't assume you're her only friend." gritted Sasuke back.
Naruto folded his arms, "Ah-hem. I'm here too." he gritted angrily.
All three stared at each other. They all wanted one thing/one person. And her name was Sakura.
Kakashi interrupted their 'discussion.'
"Guys guys. Really? Sakura is suppose to be getting better, if you fight you'll only make it worse."
They looked up at him. He had a book in his hands while he was talking. Reading while still being able to hear some one else's conversation.
Sasuke scoffed, "What ever." he muttered as he stalked over to a chair.
Naruto followed Sasuke's lead, casting a quick glare towards Lee before finding a wall. Lee had his arms folded across his chest angrily. After a while, Sakura came out. She looked a bit more tired than usual but she still managed a smile. The nurse held her shoulders as she lead her to the lobby.
"Hey." she whispered, her eyes glazed with sleep.
"What's wrong?" asked Lee before Naruto or Sasuke could ask.
The nurse smiled, "Nothing. Just tired. We gave her some pain relievers for that bump on her head."
Sakura yawned, "I'm okay." she whispered. She looked at Naruto, "Sorry Naruto. But can we move our tutoring lesson to tomorrow?" she asked.
Naruto smirked, "Another day of not studying? Sounds good to me!"
Sakura chuckled lightly but then was cut off with another yawn. Sasuke nudged Naruto, "Hey. We should get a move on. That car of yours has to get fixed soon."
Naruto nodded, "Right! I almost forgot!"
Lee looked at Sakura, "I must go too. Farewell Sakura. Until next time." He waved good bye and exited the building.
Naruto and Sasuke looked at Sakura, "You want us to take you home?" asked Naruto.
Before either could answer Kakashi stepped in again. "Thank you." he nodded at the nurse and took a hold of Sakura's shoulders, "How 'bout I take her home, hm?"
Sasuke nodded, "Sure. We don't have a car with us, sounds reasonable."
Naruto nodded, then smirked, "How about a ride for us too?" he asked.
Kakashi laughed, "Alright."
----------------------------------------------------
"This is where she lives?" asked Naruto shocked. His blue eyes traveled up and down the petite but good sized house. It had a porch and was a one story home.
Kakashi nodded, "Yes. Is she asleep?" he asked.
Sasuke nodded, "Yeah." He scooped her up in his arms and stood up.
Naruto scowled, "Why do you get to take her?" whispered Naruto afraid of waking her.
Sasuke glared at him, "Because I already have her." he answered back.
Naruto stood up, "I'll take her." he glared.
Sasuke turned his back towards him, keeping his glare locked.
Naruto clutched his fists.
"One of you two, just take her already." answered Kakashi.
Sasuke glared at Naruto then took off. Naruto was about to follow when Kakashi grabbed his shirt collar. "Not so fast." he told him. Naruto nearly fell back into the seat from the sudden reaction. He began to cruse out loud as he rubbed his neck.
Sasuke walked over to the house and rang the door bell. He looked down at Sakura's sleeping form and a small smile formed on his face. He drew his gaze up when he heard noise from behind the door. Sakura's father appeared at the door, he almost gasped when he saw Sakura in Sasuke's arms like that.
"We brought her home from the hospital." Sasuke informed him. Sakura's father took Sakura and furrowed his brow at him, slightly accusingly.
"She's asleep due to some medicine they gave her." he answered.
He nodded slowly, "Yes…Thank you."
Naruto was then at Sasuke's side. "Here." he handed Sakura's father her backpack. "She forgot her back pack in the car." he shot a glare at Sasuke.
He nodded again. "Thank you." he said again.
They both nodded as well. Naruto and Sasuke turned to walk away but was stopped.
"Wait!"
They both looked back. Waiting for him to continue.
He looked down then back to them, "You see…please. Stay away from Sakura." he whispered, his eyes never leaving theirs.
Sasuke furrowed his brow, "No." he answered.
Naruto scoffed, "What he said."
His eyes widen slightly, "What?" he asked, "Please! You two aren't meant for her! Friends or no! She can't or she-she might…"
Naruto closed his eyes, "Become like us?" he answered through his teeth.
There was a tense silence. He looked away, "I forbid you to come here again." he whispered.
Naruto and Sasuke glared at him. "What?" asked Sasuke.
He looked at them, "I don't want to see you two around here, got that?"
Naruto and Sasuke didn't say anything. He turned his back to them, "Thank you for your help." he whispered and with that he disappeared into his house.
Naruto kicked at the ground, "Damn. I saw that happening."
Sasuke turned, "Yeah." he answered.
-----------------------------------------------
"hn…"
"Sakura? You awake?"
Sakura sat up in her bed, "D-dad?" she whispered groggily. She yawned and smiled at him.
"Good. Dinner is ready." he smiled at her back.
She nodded and slipped out of bed, following her father down the stairs and into the kitchen. She sat in her chair and finally realized something.
"Dad, were Sasuke and Naruto here before?" she asked.
He slowed what he was doing but she didn't notice. "No…" he lied.
Sakura's smile faded and was replaced with a frown. "Oh…" she whispered. "I guess they realized I was okay." she thought sadly.
Her father noticed her reaction and frowned slightly. "Why?" he asked.
She lifted her head, "Oh, um…well…" she blushed slightly and looked down. "Talking to dads about this kind of stuff is really embarrassing." she thought.
He noticed her blush and furrowed his brow, "Just as I thought." he thought.
They did a small prayer and there was a silence as they ate. Sakura's father decided to make conversation.
"How's school?" he asked.
Sakura smiled, "Good. Sasuke and Naruto make it fun." she answered.
Her father mentally cringed at their names. He quickly asked another to get her mind off of them. "What's your favorite class so far?"
"Gym and Geometery." she answered.
He raised an eyebrow, "I thought you hated Gym…and I thought Geometery would be boring considering you already took that class at your old school."
"Yes well. Sasuke's in my gym and Naruto's in my Geometery."
She chuckled lightly when she remembered Naruto getting worked up about the quiz. Then her thoughts jumped when she thought about gym and Sasuke's sudden hug. She blushed as she tried to hide it from her father.
He angrily slammed his fork on the table. Sakura jumped slightly. "Are you okay?" she asked in shocked.
He shook his head, "Listen Sakura. I forbid you to see them any more." he answered.
Sakura blinked and then furrowed her brow, "What?" she asked. She couldn't believe the words coming out of his mouth.
He hesitated, "I don't want you around them anymore…there bad Sakura. I don't want you to wind up-"
Sakura stood up, "Father…what happened to the saying 'don't judge a book by it's cover' hm?" she closed her eyes as she felt tears sting her eyes, "They…they would never allow me to get hurt…" she whispered.
"She's our friend. You mess with her then your messing with us"
"They accepted me as a friend when no one else did!" Sakura could feel her voice begin to rise. Never could she imagine that she would get mad at her father like this.
"Since when is getting in trouble bothered me?"
"They protected me! They defended me even if they got a huge blame!"
"Do we need a reason? We just want to. Is that bad?"
"They didn't and don't follow everyone else." Sakura smiled slightly.
"What! Easy? Are you kidding me! Can you make the quiz's EASIER! THAT WAS SO FRICKIN HARD!"
"They made me smile and laugh decently since mother left." she whispered.
"S-sasuke…the whole class is s-staring…"
"Let them. Besides. You have got to learn to stop caring what other's think."
"They made me look at life differently…"
"I'm your tutor Naruto."
"That's great! I was going to ask for your help anyway."
"…and made me feel needed…useful." she looked back at her father. "So…don't ever ask me to not see them…" she whispered. "I love them." She was shocked by her own words but her face didn't cease the stern look she was giving her father.
Her father's face was frozen. Sakura looked away and put her dish in the sink. "I'm sorry father. But I can't do what your asking me." With that she walked out quickly trying to cover the tears that threatened to spill, leaving her father in the kitchen.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Uh oh. Sakura told her father how much they both meant to her. But theres that rule in life that says you can only love love one. hmm...wonder who that might be...Sasuke? Naruto? Or maybe...Lee! (no just kidding) R&R! Sorry again for the late late late VERY late up date. Later.
