Chapter 2 - Intrigued Amber

–1 Year Later–

"Saku! Wake up or else we're going to be late!" a tall, blonde girl said loudly as she shook the soundly sleeping Sakura in front of her.

"Five more minutes dad.." she mumbled into her pillow as she wrapped herself even tighter in her blanket.

"FIRST of all, I'm not your dad! And SECOND of all, you don't HAVE five more minutes," the blonde tried to inform her friend, but to avail. She placed a hand on her hip as she shook her head. 'Desperate times call for desperate measures.. Time for my last resort,' she thought to herself with a smirk. "Oh my god!!! Spider!!!" she yelled, finally catching Sakura's attention.

"Ahhhhhhhhh!!!!" Sakura screamed as she rolled off her bed, still wrapped up in her blanket. "Where!? Where?!" she yelled in a panic, before noticing the hysterical laughter of her friend coming from the other side of her bed. "Sora..." she wined, untangling herself from her blanket. "Don't scare me like that.. You know how much I hate spiders."

"Exactly. Now go get dressed... quick! Or else we're gonna be late to our first day of class."

"Huh?" Sakura looked over at her friend, dumbfounded for a moment. Sora pointed over at the clock sitting on the desk which read 9:40. "Crap!" Sakura shouted, running over to her closet. "Why didn't you tell me sooner?!"

"Uh.. I thought I did?" Sora replied, rolling her eyes before walking out of the room so her friend could finish getting ready.

Less then ten minutes later, Sakura came running towards the front door where Sora was already waiting. Sakura had thrown on a pink tank top and jeans, since it was still pretty warm out and had thrown her hair into a ponytail. She quickly slipped on a pair of light pink sneakers that matched her top and picked up her bag.

"Let's go!"

– Ten Minutes Later –

The two girls ran into the classroom and tiredly plopped themselves into two available seats, while trying to catch their breath.

"Wow.." Sora said between breaths, glancing towards her watch then turning to look towards Sakura. "Just... barely.. made it.." she panted, earning herself a giggle from Sakura.

"Jeeze.. Don't die on me Sora," Sakura told her friend in between her giggles, as Sora glared back at her.

"May I have your attention class," came a very deep voice from the front of the classroom, catching everyone's attention. "My name is Professor Drewberry, and welcome to Algebra."

Sakura groaned as she took out her materials for class. 'Oh man... why does it have to be math first thing in the morning? Am I being punished for liking to sleep in late?' She thought to herself as she looked over towards Sora and gave her a big grin. Lucky for her, Sora is pretty good in math, so she gets a free tutor, which is great since she's such a failure when it comes to math.

Sora caught her friend's grin and had a feeling she knew what Sakura was grinning so happily about. Once again she was probably gonna get stuck playing tutor. Suddenly she got a great idea and pulled out a piece of paper and her pen. She quickly wrote something down, folded the paper and passed the it to Sakura, earning herself a curious look from the auburn haired girl.

She took the note and quickly unfolded it while the teacher wasn't looking and read it to herself. I know what your thinking and the answer is no freaking way! I'm busy enough as it is, without having to teach you too. Why don't you just get some extra help from the professor? Its free that way too.

Sakura frowned and grabbed her pen to write a quick reply. Aw, come on Sora.. I only need a little bit of help. No way am I going to ask that old guy for help.. For all I know, he could be some pervert just waiting to get me alone. Please Sora? Please Please Please Please???? She wrote back, and refolded the note to pass it back to her friend. She watched as Sora read the note and wrote a reply, keeping her fingers crossed the whole time.

The note was then passed back to Sakura and quickly unfolded. Get your mind out of the gutter Saku... the idea of that happening is a bit gross to even think about. And I guess I could help you out a little bit during some of our hang out nights... but you better treat me to dinner those nights for helping you out. Sakura smiled and looked over at Sora.

"Thank youuuuuuu," she whispered with the grin still on her face. Sora started to open her mouth to reply when she was suddenly interupted.

"Quiet please while I am talking," Professor Drewberry said, looking at the two girls, a bit annoyed. They both looked down at their desks a bit embarrassed, and went back to copying the notes on the board.

Yet, unknown to them, a pair of amber eyes had been watching them from the rear of the classroom with intrest...
