Okay! I really need help! I have Writer's Block at the moment so I'm REALLY sorry if this chapter freakin' sucks!

Disclaimer: Still don't own Naruto. Life sucks….

Chapter 8

The entire group was walking towards their net class, which was math. Ino was walking next to Shikamaru and Emilee. Sasuke was walking next to Sakura, Hinata was walking slightly behind Naruto, and Neji and Tenten were walking behind everyone, since Tenten needed support for her knee.

Ino looked over at Emilee. She took notice that Emilee was giving glances at Shikamaru, almost as if saying 'wow you're really cute!'

'HEY! WHY IS SHE DOING THAT?!' Ino mentally screamed. She glared at Emilee and kept walking. After a minute or so, they reached the math room, with their teacher, Mr. Schuler. (He's my math teacher…he's funny as hell!)

"Alright class. Take your seats. I will hand out your new text books. Let me get them. I'll be right back," Mr. Schuler said very monotone like. He left the room to get the new text books.

"Wow, he's a fun teacher…" Sasuke and Neji said together. They glared at each other.

"STOP DOING THAT!" they said together. Again.

"KNOCK IT OFF!"

"I'M A BALLERINA!!" they screamed in unison. They received glances from the class, and the entire group was trying not to laugh their heads off. Soon enough, Mr. Schuler walked back into the room.

"Okay everyone grab a book and go sit down in your seats." Everyone did as they were told. "Okay, now turn to page 191, where we will learn about geometric sequences…"

Shikamaru already fell asleep. Emilee was still sneaking peaks at him, but this didn't go unnoticed by Ino.

'Why does she keep looking at him? It really bugs me…wait! Do I like Shikamaru? Aww man! I am falling for him!'

Sakura, on the other hand, was frantically writing notes that were on the board. Hinata was also writing notes. Sasuke and Naruto were staring at the board like it had seven legs and nineteen arms.

. In other words…

They didn't get it.

"Alright class. Here's your homework; do pages 192 through 197. ALL of the problems. You have twenty minutes to work in class, so get moving!" Mr. Schuler said. He received many groans from the class.

Hinata and Sakura were finished the homework by the end of the class. Sasuke and Naruto kept staring at the book in front of them.

"Umm…do you guys need help?" Hinata asked.

"NO! NOT AT ALL!" Naruto shouted. He looked back down at the book at just stared.

"You have no idea what to do, do you?" Hinata said.

"NONE WHATSOEVER!" he shouted back at her.

"Alright, let me help." Hinata sat next to Naruto and began showing him how to do the math problems. Sakura also saw Sasuke staring blankly at the text book and asked him if he needed help as well. He politely said yes, and they worked together.

"So Sakura…do you want to tell me now why you were late for gym? You obviously have high academic structure. I thought you were gonna burn a hole through your notes! So you probably weren't texting in the locker room," Sasuke said to her. She stopped what she was doing suddenly. She glanced downwards, and then looked back up at him.

"Okay. You see…when we were walking back to the photo shoot after meeting you guys…my agent…he walked up…to me…and said that…" she drew silent.

"Yeah. Keep going."

She took a deep sigh. "He said that I needed to lose ten more pounds in order to be put in one of the photographer's magazines," she replied. She had tears threatening to fall from her emerald eyes.

"Well…that's not too bad. I mean it could be a lot-"By this time, they were out in the hallway walking to their science class.

"YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND! IF I LOSE MORE WEIGHT, I'LL BE ANOREXIC!" she shouted at him. He was completely taken by surprise. He never realized that she was as skinny as she was, and how much her modeling career meant to her.

"Sakura…I'm so sorry. I had no idea…" Sasuke said

"No, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have freaked out like that. I guess I'm just so overwhelmed by the whole situation," Sakura replied. She was crying, much to her disadvantage. Sasuke turned to look straight into her eyes. She looked up into his. He gently wiped away her tears with his thumb and pulled her into a hug. She graciously accepted it. They both pulled apart and walked into their science class. (Okay just in case you're confused on how they got there, they were walking to the room until they hugged, and by that time they were at the classroom.)

-Ami's POV-

'Okay I have to get to science class. Wait! I see Sasuke! He must have science too! Yay! Wait, what's he doing? He's…he's HUGGING Sakura! That bitch, what drug did she give him?! Well Sakura, if this is the way you're gonna play, the let the games begin.'

-Normal POV-

Ami walked up to the two students as they pulled apart from the embrace.

"Well, look at what we have here. Sakura, you didn't tell me you had a thing for Sasuke!" Ami scowled.

"WHAT! No I don't. I mean, only as a friend-"

"Only as a friend? From what I can see, you were hugging MY Sasuke. Okay then Sakura, I'll just have to tell Karin. Then Karin will scream it in science class, and all of Sasuke's fangirls will…pretty much kill you. So you just wait bitch!" Ami stormed off into the room. All you could hear was…

"THAT BITCH IS GONNA DIE TODAY!!" That was from Karin of course.

"Oh crap…" Sasuke and Sakura said in unison. Reluctantly, they walked into the room. Ami wasn't kidding; all of the fangirls were glaring at Sakura. If looks could kill, Sakura would have been dead 10 seconds ago.

"Hello…how is everyone?" Sakura said. All of the fan girls got out of their seats.

"Wait…the teacher will be in here any minute. Why are you all getting up?" Sakura asked.

"Sakura," Sasuke whispered in her ear, "Kakashi-sensei doesn't come to the class. At least, not until the final minutes of it…so I suggest you run." Sakura sweatdropped.

"Oh well that's just peachy!" Sakura screamed.

"GET HER!" the fangirls screamed. They all charged at her. Sakura, being the genius that she was at the time, stood there, eyes wide open as she was jumped by the fangirls. The only thing Sasuke heard was her scream.

'Aww man what do I do, what do I do?! Okay Sakura could die…crap…I think I'm in love. I feel like I have to protect her…somehow…yeah. I'm in love.'

So Sasuke did what he felt like he should do. He started pulling fangirls off of Sakura, trying to reach her, to help her. The fangirls, realizing this, glared at Sakura before Sasuke could pull them off of her, and starting beating her up even worse than before. Soon enough, Sasuke got to Sakura and protected her with his body, receiving the kicks and punches intended for Sakura. Kakashi-sensei walked in the room shortly after, and screamed at the girls to stop. They ran to their seats and Sasuke got up on his knees. Kakashi ran over to the two students.

"What happened?" he asked. Sasuke told him the whole story, and sent all of the fangirls to the office, after warning Tsunade. (Tsunade's POV- "HOLY SHIT HOW MANY GIRLS? SHIZUNE! GUARD THE REMAINDER OF MY SAKE AND PROTECT IT!") The fangirls walked to the office and Kakashi sent to boys still sitting in their seats out into the hallway.

Sasuke was trying to wake up the unconscious Sakura. She was bleeding in multiple places, and was bruised severely. 'Come on Sakura. WAKE UP! Don't leave me like this…I'm so sorry I couldn't protect you enough…it's all my fault you're like this.'

"I'm gonna call an ambulance. Stay with Sakura so I can go tell Principal Tsunade." Kakashi said. He then left the room in a hurry.

Sasuke was still on his knees. He couldn't take his eyes off of Sakura. Even badly hurt, she was beautiful to him. She had the mot delicate features, and was absolutely breathtaking. He inhaled a breath as she cringed in pain. 'Don't worry Sakura…I'm gonna go with you to the hospital and never leave you out of my sight. Ever again.'
