"That's nice...we better hurry up or that girl who screamed is gonna get a major ass kicking..." Sasuke ran faster, Naruto catching up to him. They ran furiously over to the abandoned area where gangs hang out and wondered what idiot would go into the area.
"Hey teme, who would go here if they know we have gangs?"
"I don't know...they're called rain gangs for a reason though...and we could get mobbed by one any time. So constant vigilance..." Sasuke paused for a minute. "Wait...Sakura's new here...she wouldn't know about the gangs or the abandoned area!" Sasuke and Naruto looked at eachother and nodded, and dashed even faster. When they got to the entrance, the two saw Sakura cornered by two tennage boys. Sasuke and Naruto ran towards them and the boys stopped them.
"Oh wow, little Miss Cinderella needs to be rescued by her princes. Get lost, or give us money!" the two groups of boys seemed to have a stare-down. Sakura just watched as they held death glares on eachother.
"Well, are you gonna get lost or give us money?" the other boy asked.
"Here." Sasuke took out $50 from his wallet.
"Sasuke, you don't have t--"
"Take it and get lost."
"Thanks for the money, but we're not going nowhere." the boys smirked. Sasuke and Naruto stepped forward and Naruto threw his arm up and punched the boy square in the nose. Sasuke ran over to Sakura and forced her on his back. Naruto and Sasuke ran all the way back to Naruto's, not knowing if the guys were still on their trail.
"What the hell were you doing out there!" Sasuke yelled at Sakura, taking off his wet shirt. (Sakura to this action :-O)
"I didn't know you had gangs! And I just wanted to say...that I'm sorry. Forgive me, alright?" Sakura tried to smile. "Um...do you have anything I could dry off with? Even if I did have an umbrella..." she looked to the ceiling.
"Sakura-chan, I have a towel right here!" Naruto cheerfully threw a towel at Sakura and grinned.
"Thanks Naruto."
"Do you want a soda, Sakura-chan?"
"No, I'm ok. I'm cold."
"OH want a cold slushie?"
"I said I'm cold..."
"A hot slushie?"
"Uh...you can't make a hot slushie."
"Oh...right. Hot cocoa?"
"Um...sure...thanks Naruto, you're sweet."
"Some for you, teme?"
"No."
When the hot cocoa was done being made, they all sat down on the couch and Naruto and Sakura drank theirs. Sasuke got up to get his own drink, just water, and sat back down.
"A lot has happened on my first day of school...it's starting to clear up. I'm sure my mom's worried, so see you tomorrow! And...uh...thanks for saving me." Sakura smiled and walked out the door.
It was only a light drizzle now, and Sakura didn't care. She had an umbrella if she needed it. Ugh...Sasuke...why did you save me? I thought you hated me? Life is too confusing...
Sakura looked to the sky and saw the sun peeking through, noticing a small rainbow. Whatever happens, I'm sure this year will be bright... and full of surprises... she smiled and started walking faster to her house.
"Sakura! School!"
"I'm not a child anymore, mother! I just need to get dressed and eat and do my hair and brush my teeth and that's it!" Sakura yelled. She was of course late for her second day of school and rushed through the house to get everything done. She then grabbed her backpack and sped down the road to the bus stop.
"Hey Sakura!" Ino smiled as she saw her new friend coming down the sidewalk.
"Hello, Ino."
"So, I heard Sasuke went over to 'help you with math'...sooo...was it weird? Did your mom do anything to embarass you?"
"No, it was just normal, you know like do your math homework..." Sakura lied.
"You're not a good liar."
"Fine. It didn't go as expected. He got mad at me and ran off."
"Oh...so you're on worse terms than before?"
"Well, I don't know..."
"Whatever. Here he comes, so maybe say hi to him." Ino pointed out as Sasuke walked down the side walk in mostly black.
"Um...h-hello Sasuke." Sakura stuttered.
"Hn." Sasuke gave his usual answer and walked on the bus as soon as it came to a stop.
"Well, I guess we're not any worse than before...that's all he ever says..." Sakura smiled innocently at Ino. As the bus came to a halt and the school, all the kids flooded out of it. Sakura and Ino came out last, behind Sasuke, and saw Naruto in bright clothes, waving to Sasuke and sprinting over.
"Uzumaki! No running!" a teacher barked as Naruto sped by, but he ignored the remark.
"HEY TEME!" Naruto yelled practically in Sasuke's ear.
"Ow, that was really loud. So shut up, dumbass."
"Fine...HEY SAKURA-CHAN AND INO!" Naruto turned around to Ino and Sakura and they smiled.
"Hi Naruto!" Sakura smiled. He really did have the gift of making people feel happy. Naruto talked the whole way to their lockers and into their homeroom, since they were all in the same homeroom. Eventually Sasuke told him to shut up, so he did.
"You make too much noise too early, Naruto." Sasuke stated.
"So? It's good to be happy!"
"Happy and hyper are two completely different things..." Sasuke sighed as they walked to their first class. Sakura and Sasuke seemed to keep a distance, but there was a time when their eyes met.
Sasuke...is looking at me...oddly... Sakura shook her head and followed Naruto and Sasuke into her class, because it was one class Ino wasn't in. Sasuke...forgive me... Sakura looked down.
