I'm content with the reviews I got! I'm not really a person that 'needs' reviews, despite me asking for a certain amount. Here you all go! :) Sorry that this didn't come any sooner. I had to work on Sexual Orientation, and then I went over to my cousins house and spent most of my day there. Eating ice cream, and watching 'The Hot Chick'. Did you know that my best friend is Rob Schneider is her uncle? I didn't believe it at first but I saw a baby picture of her with him and I was amazed. Moving on!
"I remember the night you said let's go for, a ride I didn't want the night to end. Would we be more than friends? Yet little did I know before. We would be something more." a teenager sang sadly as she played her acoustic guitar in her room. She was still dwelling on the moments she shared with Noki. It passed three days, and Sakura was working on multiple songs. She realized that she could write millions to thousands of songs just because one thing happened to her.
She was thankful that she had friends that were there for her. Noki ended up with the slut Karin the next day when they broke up. Honestly, Sakura was the everything but surprised. Anger, jealousy, alone, everything. She was disgusted to find out that he went back to his old ways. Then again, he had been smoking and drinking behind her back. Kurenai, her music teacher, assigned Sakura to write and sing a song that currently happened in her life that was life changing. The second her teacher said that, Sakura already knew what moment she would sing about and the fact that she was half-way done writing it made it even better.
Sakura would be singing in a day, during second period at the auditorium. Her music teacher assured her that she would not be the only one that would have to sing a song. In fact, there was two other people.
"Everyone. I would like to introduce our second to last performance of the day!" said Kurenai in the microphone. "Haruno Sakura!" a cheer erupted and Sakura sat on the stool that was placed in the center with a microphone in front of it. Emerald eyes scanned the crowd and there, in the first row was her group of friends. In the third was Noki with Karin. She smiled at the crowd, a sad smile. Sakura leaned towards the microphone, "Uhm. Well I wrote this not to long ago, it's base on my experience.. and I hope that you get the meaning behind it.." her fingers expertly strummed the acoustic guitar.
"All we ever did was move around. I was always the new kid, never the cool kid, but all I ever wanted to do was to fall in love, just to be in love." She backed away from the microphone as she closed her eyes and bit her lower lip. When she opened her emerald eyes, it showed pain and dispair. Her friends stared at her all were worried. "But my heart was racing, my mind was screaming: 'You've got your whole life to do these things'."
Sakura's eyes shut tightly as she continued to sing, "But my legs were shaking, my hands were searching for him in the backseat of his car, I just lost it and I can't believe it." She looked across the crowd her eyes shut again as her eyes began to water. "I knew I was only sixteen but I thought I loved him. And It'd last forever. But only if I knew," a single tear slipped out but nevertheless, she continued singing, "that he wasn't true. How could you do this to me?" another tear slipped out as her voice sort of cracked. Her friends only stared in sadness. "My heart was racing my mind was screaming: 'You've got your whole life to do these things'. But my legs were shaking my hands were searching for him in the backseat of my car I just lost it, and I can't believe it..."
With a final note, she briskly stood up thanked the crowd that was staring at her and left. Unknown to her the second she thanked the crowd her group of friends stood up and waited outside knowing fully that she was going to go there.
"Kami.." whispered the sixteen year old girl as both of her hands cupped her face as she forcefully dragged them down her face. Her eyes were red, but not really puffy. Sakura walked outside shaking her head. It was foolish that she started to cry but she could not help herself. Her feet took her outside and she was surprised that she saw all of her friends outside. She was switched to guilt mode and apologized for having them worry.
Hinata was the first one to speak. Her light grey eyes showed that she wasn't angry, nor annoyed. Just concerned, "Sakura-chan..." she whispered. Hinata didn't say anything else but hugged the girl gently. Sakura hugged her back but was choking on small sobs that managed to escape.
"Sakura-chan!!! Your voice was great! You should totally get a record deal and do some singing!" commented Naruto. Sakura smiled at them she was grateful to have friends like them. Ino agreed a second later and everyone else just nodded. Emerald eyes turned to look at Sasuke, who gave her a smirk, it made her feel... happy. She felt her heart skip a beat for a reason that was unclear to her.
It was clear that Sakura still held some feelings towards Noki, but a part of her hated him. She also knew that she shouldn't take him back even if he went on his knees and begged, he didn't deserve her. After a few minutes of her friends comforting her, Sakura walked back to the auditorium.
Kurenai quickly walked to her and asked her if she was alright, and if she could play another song because one performance was cancelled. "Kurenai-sensei, I'm not - well, I don't really feel up to it." her mentor nodded and Sakura continuously apologized. Thankfully, the black haired woman excused it and went to search for another person.
Sakura gave a sigh as she plopped down in a seat next to Sasuke. "What's up with you?" he asked. The pink haired teenager shook her head and said that nothing was wrong. "...Hn." Inwardly, he scoffed. What did he take him for? Sasuke was not stupid, it was clear that she still felt uneasy about the whole situation. Never the less, he would back off a bit giving her her needed space.
But how long is that?
Two weeks had passed and Sakura and Sasuke got closer then they ever thought was capable. During those short fourteen days, she admitted that she held some kind of strong attraction for Sasuke. He, too, admitted that she was interesting and that she earned a place in his heart that was yelling that she was important. "You two should really, really go out! I took some individual pictures of you and Sasuke and wow - you guys are destined to be together!!" exclaimed Ino.
Sakura shook her head in annoyance. She just hadto tell Ino that she was attracted to the male. "Ino-chan, Sasuke and I are just like.... close friends.." Ino noted that how her voice seem to sadden at the moment she mention just being friends. Evilly, the blonde starting singing, "Sakura has a crush on Sasuke!" the girl that was mentioned in the song was blushing madly.
While she was blushing, they didn't notice that they stopped and now stood in front of Sasuke and the whole group. "What happened?" immediately Sasuke asked, when his onyx gaze landed on the red faced Sakura, he only got to the worst conclusion; someone hit her.
Much to everyone's confusion, Ino laughed hysterically while Sakura blushed even more and looked down. Unconsciously, Sasuke moved closer to her. The teenager was unaware and still looked down, her hair blocking her face. A pale, soft hand cupped her cheek softly and brought her face up so that she was clearly looking in deep onyx eyes, she said nothing but was confused the pink tint never leaving her face. That he found irresistibly looked cute, "What happened?" he whispered lowly.
"....Should we give them some privacy...?" whispered Neji to the others. They were bring completely ignored and it was obvious that they want to be alone. Naruto and Ino shook their heads and said they really were curious of what was going to happen. Shikamaru sighed and pulled Ino's arm and dragged her away, "What a drag.. we still have to get to class." he muttered.
With the help of Neji, Hinata managed to get Naruto with Tenten trailing behind. Leaving the two teenagers alone. "What happened, Sakura? Did someone hurt you...?" Sasuke asked, his eyes hardening. Sakura who was finally able to move and speak shook her head. "I'm fine.. It's just Ino is being - well Ino."" she said. Silence fell but neither dared to look away from each other's gaze.
Slowly, he started to lean. Sakura closed her eyelids and waited till his lips were set upon hers. Instead, she felt another forehead against her own. Emerald eyes opened and saw Sasuke's onyx orbs closed. His breath fanning her face in a way that made her heart beat three times faster. Much to her dismay, he pulled back in a blink of an eye.
Bewildered, she stared at him only to get a smirk. "You smell good." Sasuke stated and left her to her thoughts. Before she could even call out to him the bell rang.
"He seriously did that?! Sugoi! Just like any other fairytale! See, I was right! You guys are and most likely will get together. It's fate!" exclaimed Ino while the two girls were in the bathroom before third period. Recently, Sakura told her about Sasuke and what not and the blonde screamed in glee.
"Ne, Ino-chan. I think that if we do get together - well, for me it is going way to fast.." murmured Sakura sadly. She wanted to be with Sasuke but what if after two weeks people at school would start thinking her as a slut? She did not want that to happen! Dating a boy that was cheating on you for quite some time was enough.
"What are you talking about? You're suppose to move on with Sasuke! He is so caring for you and all that other lovey dovey junk. " Thankfully, the bell rang and the two teenage girls walked out of the bathrooom and into their third period class. Sakura took her seat next to Tenten who had an annoyed expression, "What happen to you?" asked Sakura.
Chocolate brown eyes stared at her two friends, "Che. Stupid Neji." she said plainly. Neji was capable of irritating Tenten even if she was in the happiest mood in the world. It was simply because Tenten had a huge crush on him for the longest time ever, but never actually had the guts to ask him out.
"Eh. You'll get over it." stated Ino who took her sear that was on the other end of the classroom. Sakura took her seat next to Tenten.
School ended and during lunch everyone made plans to hang out at the mall. Although, Tenten mentioned that she was to irritated to join which made Neji back out. Shikamaru mentioned that he wanted to take a nap and Sai said that he would rather paint a landscape painting; knocking off Temari and Ino. Officially, it was only going to be Sakura, Sasuke, Naruto, and Hinata.
"Be ready in like five minutes." ordered Sasuke. "We'll meet at the mall."
"Why don't we just car pool...?" suggested Sakura, she remembered that her parents wouldn't be able to drive her and she didn't have a drivers license. Unlike Sasuke and Hinata who were lucky enough considering their young age. "My parents can't drive me. So can at least one of you guys pick me up?"
Sasuke sighed as he raked a hand through his raven locks, "I'll pick everyone in ten minutes, so you better be ready." the other three nodded and they scurried to their houses.
Slamming her door, she ran upstairs to quickly change her outfits. It took her five minutes to get to her house and only have five minutes to dress out of her uniform. Looking through her closet she found a purple sleeveless button/loop blouse with a deep v-neck crochet collar and smocked waist. It showed some of her clevege, but not to much. With the shirt she wore some white skinny jeans.
Her pink hair was down and it was simple but beautiful. About less then two seconds later a knock was banging itself on her door. Sakura knew exactly who it was and deciding not to keep then waiting she ran down the stairs almost tripping with her white sandals strapped on her foot. "What took so long?" asked Sasuke.
He was in a plain white V-neck with a black sweater over it. Sasuke also had some skinny jeans on and his hair was still messy. She scratched the back of her head and smiled, "Almost tripped, where's Hinata and Naruto?"
"At their houses." he stated. Out of nowhere he smirked at her, sending a pleasurable shiver down her spine. Sakura tried to ignore it, "Shouldn't we be going then?" she asked meekly. As Sasuke came near her his smirk began to go wider. Bravely, Sakura stood her ground and crossed her arms on her chest what she didn't know is that it only showed some more clevege. "Sasuke...?"
Sasuke was in front of her but not as close as they were this morning. He gently placed a hand on the side of her face and stroked it, just as gently. His face came closer and his lips almost brushed hers. That is, before she ducked and he ended up kissing air. Onyx eyes stared at her - with eyes wide. Her index finger placed itself on her bottom lip in a teasing manner, "Sor-ry! Maybe next time." she said as she walked out into his car.
He wanted her. Even if it was just a kiss. He wanted her, and he was going to get her. To himself, he made a vow that today he was going to kiss her. Because he couldn't take it anymore.
Yep, this chapter was pure randomness and I know that it's moving fast. Just to let you know this story isn't exactly going to be long! Like a short story. Maybe thirteen chapters? Maybe more. Don't know.
Thanks for the reviews! I know it was short but I am hoping you liked it.
Next chapter: Sasuke kisses Sakura! (Oh Kami!)
Review! Time to work on Sexual Orientation!
