Answers

After 6 laps the rest of class were laying on the ground breathing heavily, but Sasuke and Sakura in this time were on the last, tenth lap. Both of them were not breathing normally and were tired but the tempo of the running didn't slow. When the finish was visible both of them in the same moment started running faster.

Sakura looked at Sasuke with annoyed look in her eyes. What the fuck does he want from me?! She looked at him once again and sow him smirking. Damn it, I will not lose to this guy. I hate this kind of guys. They think that they can do anything, because they are men. I will not allow him to win.

When Sakura was 150 meters from finishing line she started to run as fast as she could. She concentrated everything on running. She heard running steps near her , but she didn't care in this moment. She felt free for the first time in months. It was beautiful felling, She felt as she has wings. The race , the winning, it doesn't mater, because she forgot about it.

Then she saw that she is she is standing after finishing line and breathing heavily. But everything returned to her, her past experiences where once again with her. Sakura's face took once again cold look and she started going to cloakroom to change her self in her normal clothes.

She didn't sow that one pair of eyes were watching her carefully. He lost, but he didn't care, even if he hates loosing. He saw her face when she was running, it was different from the usual cold expression.

"Hm"

The lessons passed and now the bell rang announcing the end of the lessons. Sakura got up from the chair and in few minutes she was outside the door. Suddenly her arm was grabbed by someone's hand. Sakura immediately was in her fighting stance and she moved forward while she was ready to show interrupter his or her place.

"Don't even think that, you will go without answers." She heard familiar voice. And once again her arm was grabbed

"Yeah" another different, but familiar voice.

Sakura turned her head to see who was it. And she saw people she used to know few years ago and used to call friends. She sow the person who kept her arm. It was red haired guy with tattoo on the temple. Gaara. The person who defended her every time. He was her best friend in the past. But I don't need friends anymore, no one have to defend me because I can do it myself. I am NOT WEAK anymore.

Next to Gaara stood Temari his sister with blonde hairs. She was always there when Sakura was crying. Now I don't need her because I don't cry anymore. Crying is for weak people.

She sow there Hinata, Naruto, Neji, Kiba. Those people she used to know and used to trust. Now she didn't trust anymore anyone. No one will ever call me weakling anymore. I was strong, without emotions which make people weak. I don't have to depend on anyone. I am strong.

"Hi guys. What do you want?" Then she remembered that she told Naruto that she will talk with them "Ah, you want to talk about what happened to me when I was gone?" She smiled, but it was fake smile "Sorry, but there is nothing to talk about. I decided to start new life back then. I lived 2 years in many places and now I am hear."

Sakura turned again and tried to move but the grab on her arm only tightened. Gaara turned her to face them once again.

"And where do you think you are going?! Do you think that we will let you go with that fuckin little speech?! You will exactly tell us why ran away, where were you and what you did in this 2 years."

When Gaara sow that she didn't react. He started yelling at her "Sakura what happened to you. I only see you few minutes and you look like emotionless doll!!!"

"Sorry guys, but I have to go to work and I can't be late, because I will be faired and I will not have money for living. And if you want to talk with me you have to come in the evening to my flat. And I am sure that you already have checked my address. "She moved forward and this time no one stopped her "See you in the evening"

6 hours latter

Sakura came back home after selling for 5 hours hamburgers, hot dogs, and other kind of fast food. She was living in one of the worst district in the town. But she didn't care, she could defend herself perfectly. When she entered to her block of flats, she heard scream "Haruno pay rent or pack your things and swagger!"

Sakura took her money from her pocket and gave to him without saying a word. Then she went upstairs, not paying even one glance on the surroundings. She was used to dirt and awful smell. When she was on sixth floor she sow her friends from the past standing in front of her flat door.

"Hi guys" She said and then took her keys, opened door and entered living the door open for them. She walked to the kitchen and started doing supper.

"Anything to drink or eat?" She said without looking behind.

"Sakura how can you live here. It is pretty hideous. This people around here are criminals. Why do you live here?" Sakura heard Tamari's concerned voice.

"I live here, because I don't have money to live in better place. This is the best what I can have. And no I am not going to ask my parents for money. I didn't sow the for the last 2 years and I am happy for that. And I wish to never see them again ever in my life." She was done with doing tee and put 6 caps of tee on the small table.

"And we get to the point." Neji said "What happened 2 years ago?"

"Hm, I have to think from what to began with. Oh, I knowit began with my parents and what they wanted me to do. If you remember correctly my 'lovely' parents always said that I am nothing, stupid bitch or something similar. It always hurt me that they don't love me , they don't care about me. But one day, yes this day, when I ran away from home, I heard the news from my father. It was about my future. They planned to send me to school in other country and then I would go to planned by them university and then they planned my marriage with old guy. I simply said no and they said that if I didn't do what they say I can go out of house and never come back. So I did it with cry and wound in the heart." Sakura looked at her friends. Temari, Naruto and Hinata had scared expression on their faces, while Neji and Gaara was as always blank, but there was something in their eyes that said that they were angry on her parents.

"Why didn't you tell us? Why didn't you go to us?' asked Neji

"Because I was tired on depending on other people, I knew that I had to learn how to depend only on myself. So that is why I started my life from the beginning. I know that you will always support me, but there will be no independence in this." Sakura drank tea and looked on the cloak. "Hey guys, can we talk more about it tomorrow, because it is already near midnight and I have to go to school in the morning and I have to do homework for tomorrow in this evening."

"Yeah Sakura, we will talk tomorrow, because today is too late, but you will have to tell us what you have been doing for 2 years. Take care of your self and don't disappear. Bye" said Temari

All of them said goodbye and went home. When Sakura was left alone in her flat, she felt that for the first time in 2 years that everything will go well. That she didn't have to be afraid of tomorrow and she could let her emotions to be.

In her dark room, near the desk on the chair in front of her homework sat young girl in age of 17 who for the first time in 2 years really smiled. She took her pen and started doing her homework. Maybe, just maybe my future will be other than I think it would be. Maybe it was mistake to leave them. But I like myself as I am now. No it wasn't mistake, I have done the right thing, but now I can live like I want without my parents. They will don't stop me now. Oh crap I have to do homework, it is really late.

Next day

Sakura went to her locker and took her books and went to her classroom. Today she had blank expression on her face and her eyes were cold as usual. However one thing was different, but it was not visible from outside. Only someone who heard her thoughts would have know that she changed in only one night.

What the fuck you are doing here again. I thought that I get rid of you long time ago. You wish, I was quiet, because you was not yourself for long time, but now I AM FREE ONCE AGAIN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!So I have to argue with you once again. Oh, shut up, Saku-chan. LOOK,LOOK on the right is hot guy. Go and flirt with him!!! Inner no WE don't like guys. Don't you remember…. Oki Saku-chan , but we have to move on.

Sakura sat on her chair near the window and looked outside and sighted. She heard that someone sat near her , but she didn't check. It was mistake and in near future she will get know of this.

"Sakura, ignoring me is not the best thing to do" She heard the man male voice behind her. This voice was quite interesting in hearing. She felt shiver. Stop it Sakura. Don't stop!!! Shut up inner!!!

Sakura didn't turn to see man behind her. What is more she didn't sow the smirk on this man face.

"Hm"

"Can you be silence I try to concentrate"

"Oh yeah and I think you should be more polite to other people. When you win the race you shuld talk with the person with whom you race with."

"I don't have to" What is with this guy?! Thought really irritated Sakura

"Is your forehead so big, because of your arrogance?' Sakura heard question.

In this one moment the hatred this person. She turned to this person with death glare and thinking about beating him into the plump. She sow raven haired guy with onyx eyes. Then she reminded about incident with blond haired Barbie. His name it was Sasuke. She narrowed her pink eyebrows. And then she quickly grab his shirt, then she stood up taking him up with her. Both of them stood. But only one of them was furious.

And third time Sasuke looked on her face without blank expression. He was sill smirking and she was more furious in one second.

"You fuckin lovely boy watch what you are saying to me. And stop smirking if you still want to have all of your teeth." Sakura said with death glare in her eyes.

"Wow the ice queen can be furious and can have complexes."

'How dare you …"Sakura started to say and tried to punch him when teacher entered to the class and sow what was happening.

"Haruno Sakura and Uchiha Sasuke to the principal NOW!!!!!"

5 minutes later in principal office

"I want to know why your behavior wasn't tolerable. This school is one of the best schools in Japan and you ought to behave like the best students. No, after quick thinking I don't want to know, because it is not necessary. Both of you will be punish. From today on for one month you will stay after the lessons for 3 hours and work for the school. What is more every project that you have in school in this year you will do together. After that you will tolerate the other person. And I don't want to hear objects. DISMISSED!!!"

When both of them went out the principal office. Sakura looked annoyed. Sasuke was smirking.

"You know pinky that you should be careful with your temper? It would not happen if you were calm."

"Don't call me pinky, you playboy" Sakura looked more annoyed. " And now shut up, I don't want to hear you."

Fuck and what I will do with my work, I have to earn money. Maybe I can work in the night and weekends. I think, it is one of the worst days in my life. Saku-chan be positive. You will spend time with this hot guy. JEEE!!! I don't think it is wonderful, I think it is annoying. Oh, come on I am you and I know that you like how he look. You can't lie to me. HAHAHAHA!!!!

Sakura went to her locker and took her books for the next lesson. Then someone tap her on the shoulder. She turned and sow Naruto, Gaara and Temari.

"Hey Sakura. Why do look so annoyed?" asked Naruto

"Hey. Oh, I think this day is against me. I didn't know that Temari and Gaara are in this school too."

"Yeah, we are, Neji and Hinata too and few people that you don't know and you should know are here too. Come with us now and you will meet them. Aha and you can't say no. But why do you think that it s not your day?" asked Temari

While there were walking through hallway, Sakura was talking about what happened and what kind of punishment she get. When they walked to the group of people, Sakura took a look on them. She saw Neji and Hinata with group of 4 people. Near Neji seat the girl with brown hair who kept in her hand knife. This girl was talking with long blond haired girl who hold hand of guy with brown hair. He was saying something about troublesome girls. But the person Sakura sow next, cause her to took one step behind. It was he. This raven haired bastard.
