Author's Note: Yay~ Summer is FINALLY here! Bring on the swimming pools, BBQs, video games, Glee marathons, and especially WARM WEATHER! I just finished reading the 16th chapter of the ever so skilled The Sneak and his/her fanfiction called My Point of Weakness (a typical NejiSakuSasu), and it's ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. What I'm disappointed is that s/he only has 11 reviews… So, I helped them out by reviewing and a few of the chapters :) What I'm also afraid of is that the fanfiction is so well-written, and compared to mine… -_- I'm afraid I'm going to stop getting reviews…

"SHMOWZOW!" – Finn, Adventure Time
Chapter 2 – Everlasting
At last, the first quarter of her sophomore year had passed, and she was more than relieved to start adjusting to the new Konoha High schedule. Over the past two months, she's befriending many, and even a couple of seniors. What she learned so far in her stay at Konoha High?
1.) Uzumaki Naruto is a complete, utter, humiliating IDIOT.
2.) Uzumaki Naruto, is still one of her close friends, like a brother.
3.) Tenten is secretly dating Lee.
4.) Uchiha Sasuke is for sure an egoistical bastard.
5.) Hatake Kakashi (otherwise known as Kaka-sensei, Mr. Scarecrow, and Poofy-Hair-Dude—named by Naruto himself) is ALWAYS late for 1st period language arts.
6.) Gai-sensei, the PE instructor IS, in fact, Lee's uncle (note: NOT father).
7.) Tsunade, the principal of the school, secretly sneaks in sake into her office.
8.) Shizune, the vice principal and nurse, secretly takes away Tsunade's sake.
9.) Yamanaka Ino, one of the school's most beautiful girls, is Uchiha Sasuke's girlfriend.
10.) Hyuuga Neji has a very shy cousin named Hinata who is currently dating Naruto (shocker, huh?).
11.) Nara Shikamaru is the world's laziest, yet intelligent person.
12.) Chouji has a thing for Korean BBQ.
13.) Kiba secretly sneaks Akamaru, his small puppy in his backpack or large jacket.
14.) Shino is a bug ADDICT.
15.) Karin and many other girls are obsessed with Sasuke.
16.) Haruno Sakura CANNOT continue this long list.
How does she even manage to survive the first quarter? She doesn't even know. It was another typical morning, only this time she was being picked up by Sasuke—Naruto's request—and Ino, that pig. Today was going to be chaos. Not only couldn't Sakura understand the fact that THE Uchiha Sasuke is going out with someone as loud and obnoxious as Ino, but she couldn't understand the fact of WHY she was stuck in a car FULL of couples.
The blonde haired girl had put her own arms around Sasuke's as he drove, she being in the passenger's seat. Naruto was sitting in the middle in the back seat with Hinata to his right, his arms around her waist protectively. Sakura? She was sitting to the left of Naruto, feeling left out as always. It was always this way every Wednesday morning before school, and after school. 'When is this ride over? I'm SUFFOCATING.' She tried as hard as she could to not heave a sigh in the annoying silence. It would just bring interrogation from the annoying pig, Naruto's worry, and Sasuke's usual 'hn'.
Soon enough, the silence was broken, and she could hear Hinata's stuttering voice, "Th-The Fu-Fuyu Sei-Seisoku Odori is coming up…" The what-da-wha?
Naruto grinned, "Of course I'll take you Hina-chan!" The Hyuuga only blushed, smiling back up at Naruto.
Sakura raised an eyebrow, "Fuyu Seisoku Odori? Winter Formal Dance?" She translated it perfectly. "Do you… Need a date or something?" She asked nervously. No way was she going to get a date. Who would ask her anyways? Girls were desperate enough to ask guys, but guys were NEVER desperate to ask girls.
"Hn," The onyx haired driver answered her. After a while, Sakura had managed to figure out his complex Uchiha-language. A short 'hn' with an emotionless façade meant 'yes'. A long 'hnnn' meant 'maybe' or with a stern-looking face, it meant 'be quiet'. Silence with an angry expression was the usual warning to back off. A small smirk with an 'hn' added was usually a 'of course'. It was a little frightening how well she knew Sasuke, the ONLY female to ever interpret his language.
His answer meant, yes. She started panicking; who was she going to ask? Naruto was going with Hinata, which pretty was obvious. Sasuke would most likely be going with Ino. Maybe she should ask Neji… 'That stoic I'll-be-better-than-Sasuke guy? No.' she thought to herself. What about Shikamaru? 'He's probably not even going. Damn boy's too lazy.' She reasoned. Kiba? 'That means dancing WITH Akamaru too.' She refused to despite that fact she would take care of him while Kiba had to go somewhere. Shino? 'Don't even GO there.'
"Sakura? Are you coming out of the car?" Naruto knocked on the window, blinking his large cerulean-blue eyes. Suddenly blinking out of her daze, she ran out of the black car and heaved a sigh, silently thanking Sasuke for the ride and as usual, he replied with his 'hn'; short and quiet as a 'you're welcome'. "Who're you planning to ask out Sakura-chan?" Naruto gave her his usual fox-like grin, almost ear-to-ear. Hinata had already left for her Biology class with Kurenai-sensei.
The pink haired flustered girl threw glares at the dim-witted, but otherwise loving, blonde, "None of your business!" She blushed, looking down as she crossed her arms, almost ashamed. 'Who'd want to date me anyways? I'm not pretty like—as much as I hate do admit—Ino. Not pretty like Ino… More like far from being beautiful at all.' She glared at her large feet, they were a little big for her a young girl her age, at least compared to most. Her legs were always paler than the rest of her skin…
"Ne, Sakura-chan?" Naruto grew concerned, each time he called out her name, she didn't respond. Her short pink bangs covered her face, so it was harder to see her actual emotion. Judging from the silence, it couldn't be good. "Sakura-chan?" She glared at how hideous she must look… Pink hair… Green eyes… The very description of a monster. She suddenly realized Naruto was calling out her name several times already. "-chaaaa—"
He was immediately cut off by Sakura's great strength, taking a hit to the head, "Urusai! I can HEAR you! I was just… thinking." She heaved a sigh, running a hand through her monstrous cherry blossom-colored hair, blinking her ugly color of green eyes. She felt like dirt, a diamond covered in dirt, mud, and caked with insects. Shivering at the thought, she rubbed her bare arms with her hands, sighing once more.
Naruto gave a small grin, recovering quickly from the punch, "So are you going to ask anyone out? I can help if you want me to Sakura-chan!" Sakura looked up at him, hope filled her green eyes when she heard the words, but she still couldn't help but feel so… Helpless, stupid, desperate. The blonde just kept grinning, "Don't worry about it Sakura-chan, I knew you didn't have a boyfriend," Boy, that sure helps boost her self-confidence, "so I already set up a blind-date! Actually… A bit more than one blind date…" He gave a smug chuckle.
Sakura stared at him in horror, "A… BLIND DATE? Do you know ONE thing about blind dates? They're the WORST idea ever!" She couldn't exaggerate that proven fact enough. Tenten had gone through a blind date, and ended up with LEE. She let out yet another sigh for the umpteenth time and just nodded, "Fine… See you in Language Arts then Naruto, Sasuke." She bid them farewell, heading over to History.
On her way over to History with Asuma-sensei, she had accidentally bumped into Chouji, who of course, was munching on sweets. "O-Oh, Sakura-san!" He grinned, his chubby cheeks like half circles. "You want a Gobstopper?" He held out one small green ball. "It's everlasting!"
Sakura politely refused the offer, smiling as she headed towards Asuma-sensei's class. 'Everlasting huh? I wish beauty was everlasting.'
