Hello everyone!

So here is chapter 2 for you all! I understand there were a lot of mistakes in my last chapter, and that was because a lot of it was written in a rush actually on fanfiction, not on Word, so I didn't have spell check or anything. This time, I promise you there will be no mistakes! (I'll try)

Also, i know Sasuke is OOC in this, but i see no other choice than to make him OOC as Sasuke would never act this way in Naruto.

Enjoy!

Sakura walked home, her cheeks flushed from what had happened at the lake.

She still couldn't believe what had just happened. Her head was spinning. It was the most magical experience she had ever had in her life. But also, it was strange. She knew she had had a crush on Sasuke ever since she could remember, but she never knew Sasuke had a crush on her.

The only thing that she wished for now, was that Sasuke wouldn't find out her terrible secret, to which she had told noone yet. She couldn't let anyone know.

Stepping onto the porch of her house, she took a deep breath. She knew what was coming from her father and her step-mother.

Sakura's mother had died when she was two of Pnuemonia. Sakura could hardly remember anything about her mother. The only memory she had of her was one picture. Her mother was leaning against a convertible mercedes, with that look on her face that sais "You'd better not take that picture", but really, you know they wanted it taken. It was one of Sakura's dearest posessions.

As she entered the house, the first thing she heard was "WHERE WERE YOU, YOUNG LADY?!" erupting from her father's throat.

She sighed. "I'm sorry dad, I had to finish off some homework with my friend, and..UGHHH!"

Sakura cried out as she hit the wall behind her with the force from her father's resounding slap.

"Don't you lie to me! You were meant to be home 20 minutes ago now! Why weren't you home? Tell me the truth DAMNIT!!"

Sakura's step-mother Esmee stood there watching with a nasty smirk on her face.

Sakura remained silent. Esmee then became enraged. She stepped forward and grabbed Sakura by her collar, pushing her against the wall.

"How DARE you defy your father! Do you know how hard he works to make a life for us? Do you know anything about that?! And then you stand there, and refuse to even answer him?!"

Two seconds later Sakura was on the floor from a huge punch coming from Esmee. Sakura's nose was bleeding. Tears began to stream down her face.

"I-I'm s-sorry!!" Sakura cried "I really was caught up with homework, and I'll come back on t-time next time!" Sakura hiccuped. "I'll go start dinner for you guys right now..."

Sakura's Father laughed. It was more like a cackle than a laugh.

"Oh no, you're not making us dinner tonight. We've already eaten. You're not getting any dinner tonight, you ungrateful bitch! Come here!"

Sakura's father wrenched her arm in his meat like hands, and pulling her along the corridor, shoved her into her room, locking the door behind him.

"You're not coming out until you realize that you're a spoilt brat, who has no respect for her parents!"

Inside, Sakura dropped to her knees and sobbed. She didn't know why she was crying this much. She was regularly abused by her father and step-mother. She was often sent to bed hungry. What was making her cry so hard all of a sudden? She wiped away the blood and the tears away from her face with a grubby sleeve.

She picked herself up and walked over to her chest of drawers. She opened her sock drawer and reached right into the back and pulled out her one and only picture of her mother. She clutched it tight to her chest and sat down on her bed.

"Oh Mom" she thought "If only you could be here with me today. You'd sort out all my problems."

She took a look around her bedroom. It was a simple white painted room with a bed, a chest of drawers,a rug, and a chair. Her father had thrown away the idea of making her bedroom special, disregarding all the pretty patterns and colors as "Much too good for teenagers".

The next morning.

Sakura awoke lying on her bed sideways, without using the duvet, still in her day clothes. Her eyes still sleep-fogged, she glanced at her watch. It was 7 a.m.

Somehow she had managed to fall asleep after last night, the photo of her mother lying just by her side.

She slowly got up, and turned the door handle. It wouldn't move.

Baka, she thought to herself. She had completey forgotten that her father had locked her in.

She slowly got changed into a decent pair of clothes. She sat on her bed and waited. Surely her father would let her out soon? He knew she had school today.

half an hour went by. It was now 7.30 a.m. She had to be at school by 8. If she didn't leave now, she would be late to school, which would completely ruin her perfect attendance grades for that year.

7.45 a.m. She wasn't just going to let this happen. She thought about her father's merciless punishments. His cruel laughter. Her cruel step-mother Esmee. Anger began building up as quick as wildfire inside Sakura. She knew what she had to do. And boy was she going to get into trouble for it, but she didn't care. Not anymore.

She walked over to her window. Slowly, she built up chakra in her fist, chakra so strong she could hardly hold it anymore, and then drove her fist full force into the window. It shattered instantly.

Very carefully, so as not to cut herself, she jumped out of the window, which was no problem as her bedroom was on the first floor. She grimaced as she cut herself slightly on the broken glass on the way out.

Walking to school, she suddenly remembered the kiss that had happened yesterday at the lake. She felt a nervous, yet ecstatic shiver go up her entire body. Seeing Sasuke at school today would be super awkward. Usually, Sakura could avoid awkwardness though. What would happen today?

Her stomach made a squeaky rumbling sound. She hadn't eaten since yesterday lunchtime, and her tummy was protesting. Protest as it may, it would have to wait until lunchtime today.

Entering the school grounds, she saw her best-friend Lee coming up to her.

"Sakura!" He exclaimed when he saw her. "What happened to you, your hair is all messed up, and you have a black eye!" He then noticed the cut on her leg. "And you're bleeding! What in the hell happened?"

Sakura bit her lip. "I'm really sorry Lee, i can't talk right now, i have to get to class, it's really late!"

She ran into the school building, and into her first period lesson, which happened to be about the Geography of Konoha. She looked around.

She couldn't beleive it. There was only one seat left. This seat was next to none other, than Uchiha Sasuke.
