Chapter 4
Music's My Life
While Sakura's friends were chillin' out with Sasuke's guys, Sakura was at Music's My Life, one of the BIGGEST music stores in the mall. She was listening to Mariah Carey's 'Fantasy' and singing along with the music quietly. She held the headphones with her hands, like how people would in recording studios(A/N: Those headphones that are really BIG ones.). Her eyes were closed and she was singing like no one was there. Her head was swaying back and forth. That's when Sasuke entered the store. He saw the one he was looking for. Sasuke walked over to her and tapped her on the shoulders. She held up her index finger, meaning 'One minute', and continued singing until the song was over. She opened her eyes, put the headphones around her neck, and turned around, only to see Sasuke.
"You're Sasuke Uchiha, right?" asked Sakura. Sasuke smirked and nodded at the pink haired girl.
"Yeah, and you're Sakura Haruno, the one who's family owns a restaurant, right?" he said. Sakura nodded and smiled.
"Yup, that's me!" Sakura said with a grin. That's when she realized something.
"How long were you standing there?" Sakura asked.
"Long enough to hear you sing." Sasuke said smoothly. Sakura blushed and took the headphones off of her neck.
"Sorry you had to hear that. I-I'm not that much of a singer, really. And plus, my singing voice isn't all that good anyway." Sakura said, while tucking a piece of her soft silk pink hair behind her ear. She was blushing a slight pink.
"I didn't mind. You sounded wonderful and sounded like you should be a singer." Sasuke commented. Sakura blushed an even darker pink.
"Yeah, that's what they ALL say." Sakura said, while rolling her eyes.
"Then, why aren't you a singer? You would've been really successful by now." Sasuke said. Sakura's face went from dark pink to red.
"It's just that I can't get over my stage fright." Sakura said shyly. She went up to the cashier and paid for a headphone set and a couple of CDs and left the store, Sasuke trailing behind her. She went to the food court and went to the Taco Bell stand and bought herself some Cinnamon Twists. When she found out she didn't have enough money, Sasuke paid for it and gave it to Sakura. She blushed.
"Gee, thanks. You want one?" Sakura offered. Sasuke shook his head.
"Nah, I'm not into anything sweet." Sasuke said.
"Well I'm sweet and you're not interested in me?" Sakura said with puppy dog eyes. Sasuke blushed and Sakura started laughing at Sasuke's face.
"I was kidding, Sasuke!" Sakura said. That's when Sasuke put his arms around Sakura.
"But I am interested in you." Sasuke said. This made Sakura blush…a lot.
'This is my chance!' she thought. And just when Sasuke was about to say something else, Sakura quickly stuffed a cinnamon twist in his mouth. He eventually had to chew it and swallowed it.
"See? That wasn't that bad, now was it?" Sakura asked. Sasuke blushed and shook his head.
"I told you! You just gotta open up and try new things, Sasuke! You never know if you'll find something you like!" Sakura said. She gave him a smile and took his hand into hers. Sasuke's face started to flush, but Sakura's smile was still there. That's when they both started going into conversation. That's when Sakura looked at the clock on her cell phone.
"Come on, Sasuke. It's almost 4:30 and I have to meet my friends at Starbucks, which is on the OTHER side of the mall." Sakura said.
"Well then let me be your escort." Sasuke said. Sakura giggled. And they both walked to Starbucks together, still in deep conversation.
When Sakura and Sasuke got to Starbucks, Sakura saw that her friends were talking to Sasuke's guys. She giggled slightly at the scenes that were going on. Neji and Tenten were talking about their favorite weapons.
'Typical Tenten. Always thinking of her beloved weapons.' Sakura thought with a mental sigh. Naruto was telling Hinata a funny story about him and a very BAD ramen accident. Hinata was giggling at Naruto's story. Shikamaru and Ino were talking about clouds and what they liked and didn't like about them. Sakura silently took out her digital camera from her bag and took a picture of all three couples. Sakura started to giggle and her friends looked at her.
"Promise me you won't put that up at the restaurant?" Ino said. Sakura grinned.
"Don't worry! This is going in our photo album!" Sakura exclaimed. Her friends smiled at her, but when the guys heard Sakura say the words 'Photo Album', they started glaring. Sakura and Sasuke noticed this and Sasuke shrugged it off. Sakura didn't know why they were glaring at her.
"What? Do you guys think I'm going to use it as blackmail?" Sakura asked. They nodded their heads and Sakura giggled.
"I'm not THAT kind of a person. Ino and Tenten might, but not Hinata and me!" Sakura said. Her friends got up and walked over to Sakura.
"Well, we gotta go. Sakura's treating us to boba tea!" Ino exclaimed. The boys looked at them like they were crazy.
"What? You guys have NEVER EVER heard of boba tea?!" Tenten exclaimed. They nodded their heads slowly.
"W-Well, a-at the restaurant, w-we s-serve b-boba te-tea, s-so if y-you w-want s-some, y-you can a-always s-stop b-by." Hinata said.
"See you guys later!" the girls said. And before the girls left, they gave each of the guys a kiss on the cheek.
"Thanks for a great afternoon! I hope we can do it again some time!" Sakura said with a smile. The girls waved goodbye and headed to the parking lot. That's when Sasuke and his friends made the same vow: To visit the girl they hung out with that afternoon at Haruno Happiness everyday.
Sakura-Chan: Well, what did you think? Was it sugar coated with kawaiiness? I hope so! Tell me in the reviews and no flames please! Ja ne!
