"God, I wish you could have come with me, Sakura-Chan. Pervy Sage taught me so much. He taught me an awesome new jutsu, I can't wait to show you!" Naruto had been chattering excitedly, but now he looked dreamily at the road ahead of him.
"I bet I would have loved it, Naruto-Kun. When can you show me your 'awesome new jutsu?'" I questioned.
"Next time we go to the training field, I'll show you, okay?" he said, beaming with pride.
"Sounds like a plan." I said, smiling as we pulled into my driveway. "I'll see you later, text me, okay?" I said, getting out of the car.
"Kay, Sakura-Chan. Love you."
"Love you." I replied.
"Tsunade-Sama! I'm home!" I shouted.
"Hello, Sakura. I'm loaded with paperwork tonight, so is pizza alright for dinner?" Tsunade said, entering the living room.
"That's fine, thanks." I replied.
"Remember, you have therapy after school tomorrow. No skipping out."
"Right…I'll be there, promise." I sighed. I skipped my therapy sometimes. Talking about the memories hurt, and I didn't like it.
"I'll leave the pizza money on the coffee table. See you later." Tsunade said, patting my arm as she passed me.
"Later." I said, walking up the stairs to my room. I pulled my cell phone out of my pocket, a droid, and texted Ino.
Hey ino-pig. Meet any good prospects today?
Ino usually spent most of the first day of school checking out boys, and trying to set up her friends. She'd been trying for me for years, but I never found anyone I liked. Her, Tenten, and Hinata were all hung up a boy of their own though. Tenten liked this guy Neji. He was too serious for my liking, but hot nonetheless. Ino liked this total brainiac, Shikamaru. He was nice, and cute and everything, but he's so freakin' lazy. My little Hinata is pretty much in love with Naruto. They would be too cute together, but Naruto is clueless.
You read my mind, forehead. Met some guy who would totally be a match made in heaven for you. Completely. Totally. I can already see the sparks.
Oh, I bet. Who are they?
Ino's definition of a good guy, and my definition, usually differed a little. I know she means well, but she's not exactly a reliable boy source. I pondered this, as I plopped on my bed, and pulled my calculus homework out of my book bag.
Okay, this guy sasuke, I can so see you and him together. He's new this year, and he's perfect, I tell you, perfect. And this other kid, kiba. Both of them, freakin' sexyyyyy. Sexy I tell you.
Sasuke? Sasuke Uchiha? Oh no.
Sasuke Uchiha?
Somehow I didn't think things would work out with Sasuke Uchiha.
Yeah! You know him already?
Kind of. I ran into him and made him drop his books. He calls me klutz.
Ino was never gonna let this go, I knew that. She was going to tease me forever. Why did I even tell her about that?
Omg! Sakura! You are a klutz! You've made my job so difficult.
Sorry? Haha, he said not to worry about it.
After finishing my homework, I called in for the pizza. My absolute favorite, chicken parmesan pizza. I was scared to try it at first, but Naruto got me addicted to the stuff. Then it occurred to me. Did she mean Kiba Inuzuka? Was she serious?
Well, that means at least he's nice.
Wait, when you said kiba, did you mean kiba inuzuka?
I don't have a problem with Kiba, but he is just so obnoxious! He is cute though. I have to admit that.
Yeah. Well, I know he's a bit obnoxious, but he's cute, and he can be really sweet. You could at least give him a try.
Well, we'll see what happens. I don't really know if either of them are good for me…
I knew that might annoy Ino a little bit, but I really wasn't sure on the whole set-up thing to be honest. I took my lap top off my desk and over to my bed, turning it on. I drummed my fingers on the mouse pad waiting for it to start, and then checked my phone when it buzzed again.
Give them a chance! Please? For me? I want you to be happy, sakura. *puppy dog face*
Oh, you know I can't resist the puppy face. Okay. I'll try.
My computer was on, so I logged onto my facebook, and saw I had a friend request. Sasuke Uchiha. I smiled, not quite sure why. The doorbell rang, as I accepted the friend request, and I went down to answer the door. I grabbed the money off the coffee table, and opened the door, to see one of Ino's prospects holding a pizza.
"Oh, hey Kiba. You're a delivery boy now? Didn't you work at Home Depot just last week?" I teased. Kiba was known for getting fired, and switching jobs a lot.
"Eh, it didn't really work out." he said, giving me a sheepish smile.
"I see that." I said giggling. "Well, here's your money."
"And here's your pizza. Gotta say, we don't get many orders for chicken parmesan pizza. You must be a weirdo."
"Hey! Don't knock it! It's good! Wanna try it?" I asked.
"Hmm, I don't know. It's sounds kinda weird."
"Come in and try it!" I demanded. I moved aside for him, and shut the door behind him. I led him to the living room, putting the box down on the coffee table, and pulling out a slice for him. "Try it."
"Alright, alright!" he said, laughing as he took the pizza from me. He looked a little hesitant as he bit the pizza, and then pretended to look disgusted.
"Kiba!" I yelled, smacking his shoulder.
"Okay, okay! It's actually pretty good." he laughed. He ate it quickly, and then headed for the door. "this has been fun, Sakura, but I gotta get back to work. Maybe we can do this again soon." he winked on his way out. I blushed, and closed the door behind him. I took out my phone, where I had a text waiting from Ino.
Eep! Yay! Thank you sakura-chan!
Just saw one of your prospects. I force fed him pizza.
I put a slice of pizza on a plate, and filled a glass with diet coke, to bring to Tsunade. I pushed open the door with my foot, and walked into Tsunade's office.
"Delivery!" I said, smiling broadly as I placed the food on her desk.
"Oh, thanks, Sweetie." she smiled.
"Yup! Text me if you want me to bring you another slice." I said, walking out, and going to the bathroom in my room. I washed the make up off my face, brushed my hair, and changed into cotton shorts, and a tank top. I slipped into my slippers, and went to the living room to enjoy my pizza.
No way! Which one!
Kiba. He is cute, gotta admit.
I sat on my couch with my pizza, and turned on the television. I really wasn't much of a TV person, but I had nothing better to do.
As I said! Perfect! [: but I gotta go work my shift at the flower shop. I'll see you tomorrow. Tenten is driving us again. Later chickie-pooo.
Have fun.
I really should text Naruto like I told him I would, but after I finished my pizza, I went for a walk, and left my phone on the coffee table. Sticking a post it note on the pizza box, I pulled a sweatshirt, which I believed to be Naruto's, over my tank top, and walked out the front door.
I walked with no particular destination in mind, but ended up at the playground down the street from my house. So I laid down on the merry go round, and spun around pointlessly, until I heard the creak of metal, as someone sat down. I craned my head to look in their direction and saw Sasuke sitting on the side opposite of me. Moving my head back to a comfortable position, we sat in silence, until he spoke.
"So I'm behind in calculus. Iruka-Sensei suggested you as a tutor. Could you tutor me?" he asked hesitantly.
"Sure. When do you wanna do it?" I asked. Even if I hated school, there really wasn't a reason I couldn't help Sasuke if he needed help.
"Whenever is good for you." he replied.
"Let's see, it's Wednesday…Friday okay?"
"Friday is great."
"Okay. Where?"
"We can go somewhere after school or something. I'll drive."
"Kay. Hey, what time is it? I left my phone at home."
"8:30." he said, after he pulled out his phone.
"Alright, I'm heading home then. I'll meet you by your car tomorrow." I said, getting up, and walking away.
"Hn." I heard him mumble as I walked away. But I didn't turn around to acknowledge his sound, or say goodbye. I went home, and went to sleep.
I meant to update sooner, but I've been seriously busy lately. But whatever, review soon please. (:
