A/N: Well, here it is. My fifth chapter. It is taking me quite some time to write this chapter because I'm in depression. It sucks, but it's my life. I thought that by writing this, I'll at least feel a tad bit better. So there you have it, ENJOY! Read and Review please. This chapter is dedicated to all those who have reviewed this story from the very beginning and those who take their time to hit that precious little blue bar at the bottom. Oh! This is also dedicated to MoonlitRain16 for the advice about my upcoming story. Thank you.

Disclaimer: Hell Nah, I don't own Naruto. If I did, trust me, Sasuke wouldn't have left. LoL. Just thought I add that.

Recap:

So here they were, seated in front of an ice-cream store, chatting away. They failed to notice Sasuke, Shikamaru with a clingy Ino, Naruto, and Neji enter the ice-cream shop. Sasuke had a girl hooked on his arm, while Naruto and Neji also had one. It was 6:00 p.m., and it seemed like the night was going to last forever. The girls were having fun talking about things, being lost in their own world. That is until…

"Temari, we have to go home," said a boy wearing a dark purple hoodie.

"Oh, Kankuro, I would like you to meet my friends. This is Sakura, Hinata, and Tenten," said Temari..

"Nice to meet you all," responded Kankuro.

"Where's Gaara?" asked Temari.

At that, it seemed like time stood still.

"Gaara? You know Gaara?" asked Tenten.

"Hehe, yeah, he is my little bro," replied Temari.

Tenten, Hinata, and Sakura looked at each other and looked at Temari and Kankuro giving them quizzical looks. They all looked at each other and mouthed a "No Way".

While with Sasuke and his crew…

Sasuke was getting bored at Naruto mouth of about how great ramen was and how he was going to write a song about.

Dobe, thought Sasuke. He looked around until he saw Sakura. He saw that she was with a couple of people, and then out of nowhere Gaara appeared and approached two people with whom he assumed Gaara knew. He couldn't help but notice the way Sakura looked at Gaara. Sasuke couldn't help but feel a tad bit envious. He wanted Sakura to look at him the same way she looked at Gaara.

Even though he had known her for only a month, he had come to feel comfortable around her then any other girls. He continued to look at her until she looked around and came face to face with him.

Sakura had felt someone staring at her. She looked around only to have her jade eyes locked with onyx ones.

End of Recap.

Continuation of the last chapter, which was on a…

Chapter Five: We Must Fight To Runaway

SaTuRDaY

As Sakura sat there, staring at those alluring onyx eyes, she couldn't help but blush at the sudden realization that the Uchiha Sasuke was staring at her. It has been a while, well fifteen seconds to be exact and it feels like Sakura was under some sort of a trance. However just like Nelly Furtado sang in her song, all good things must come to an end. Tenten was screaming at a kid for dripping some ice cream on her shirt. Sakura diverted her attention to her friend who was causing quite the raucous.

Sakura approached her friend and found out more as to why she is causing quite a scene. The guy pretended to not know of the dripping, and when it made its way to Tenten's chest area, he made a move to try and wipe it off. Talk about perverted intentions. The guy soon found himself lying on the floor supporting a swollen eye, courtesy of Tenten. That girl can sure pack a punch. All the while, a certain Hyuuga stared at Tenten as if she were growing another head.

Damn, I sure wouldn't want to get on her bad side, thought Neji. He smirked as he watched Tenten being surrounded by her friends. It was apparent they were trying to calm her down before she goes and hits another guy. Sasuke noticed Neji staring intensely at Tenten and smirked as it dawned upon him that his friend has taken an interest in Tenten after all this time.

Sasuke had known of Tenten's infatuation with the Hyuuga since he stepped foot in high school. Making out with a fan girl is a force to be reckoned with, but sitting there while they ramble on about gossip would absolutely drive anybody to the brink of insanity. He had to learn this the hard way. However, it is thanks to these times he has come to know a lot about certain people with whom he would find as a "level below" him. He did not find anybody as an equal. He, himself, is well on his way to surpassing his older brother, although, it is just a brotherly rival. Sasuke was so caught up in his thoughts that he did not notice a fan girl on his left side. As he turned around, he came fac- wait, lips to lips with this fan girl. Upon her instincts, she immediately brought her arms around his neck and pulled him closer, as he struggles to get free. Now, this is Sasuke, not some insensitive jerk with no self-respect at all. He knew he couldn't hurt this girl, or she'd be knocked into next year! So as he sat there, struggling to get this fan girl's strong hold on his neck, he saw Sakura staring at him and it.

I swear, doesn't this girl breathe? At all?! pondered Sasuke. It was all too much.

Sakura, on the other hand, could not resist looking over where Sasuke sat looking deprived of air.

Poor thing, looks like a fish out of water, thought Sakura. She couldn't help but giggle at the thought of Sasuke being suffocated by kiss, with his fan girl no less.

Hmm, maybe I should help him.

With that she decided to take a shot. She hasn't really talked to Sasuke at all. Of course, there would be the constant exchange of "hello's" in the morning and trying to get some information on the given assignment to do at home, but never a casual conversation. Although, they never talk, Sakura feels liberated when she is around him. It is like even though, they don't communicate verbally, there are hidden message being sent from one to the other. It was definitely unexplainable, yet comforting.

She strode over to where the boys were with almost every eye on her.

"Is she another fan girl?"

"I thought she wasn't."

"Pink hair?"

There were also whistling being thrown at her, but she didn't pay any mind to it. Tenten sort of got the message as to why she was going there, so she didn't bother. She continued talking to Hinata, Temari, and Kankuro as Gaara sat there with half-lid eyes. It may seem as if he was bored, but in actuality he was eyeing Sakura's every move. He was being paid by Itachi to pay close attention to Sasuke and make sure he doesn't get in trouble.

Sakura felt a tiny hint of nervousness as her heart continued to pound against her chest. This would be the first time she would meet Sasuke in public and upon intentions as well. She was nearing in on them.

Five feet…

Four…

Three….

Two….

One….

Naruto, Shikamaru, and Neji were staring at Sakura curious as to why she is making her presence to them. They were also considered "acquaintances." As they were staring, they failed to notice Sasuke turning even more pale than usual, trying to pry of this attached thing.

Sakura was finally standing there, in front of Sasuke who now had his back turned and kissing the girl so she would look at Sakura.

"You know, if you keep on holding on to him like that, you're going to deprive your poor Sasuke-kun of needed air, which, on a rare occasion, could kill him," said Sakura. Sakura had to emphasize on the last part knowing how slow fan girls can be.

The fan girl immediately let go, letting Sasuke gasp for air.

The fan girl glared at Sakura for interrupting her time with Sasuke and then turned her attention back at him. He looked sick.

"Oh my gosh, Sasuke-kun, are you like okay? Cause like I will like get you like help?" said the frantic fan girl.

She placed her palm on his head and felt his temperature.

"Oh like my good gosh, like was it like something you like ate?" she asked yet again.

Sasuke glared at her. He was giving her a look that said 'What-the-fuck-?-Are-you-fucking-serious-?'

Was it something I ate?!? He thought.

Sakura was trying really hard to stifle her laugh as she heard the fan girl ask Sasuke. Naruto and Shikamaru were also trying not to laugh while Neji just covered his face with his hands. He, too, was finding it very hard not to control his laughter. Damn, if he wasn't so proud into keeping his rep as a stoic person, he would be on his ass, laughing.

That was it! All masks came off. Naruto fell off the chair laughing, holding his stomach, while Sakura was bend over, also holding her stomach. They laughed. Shikamaru was still trying, although, temptation stared him right in the face. He chuckled. He didn't laugh, he chuckled.

Tenten saw Sakura and rushed to her, as did Hinata, Temari, Kankuro, and Gaara, who was taking his sweet time striding to the laughing trio.

"Sakura, are you okay?" asked Tenten. Sakura's cheeks were all red. She looked like an apple in ripe season (A/N: Is there one?). Hinata squatted to see if she was okay, and then turned to tell her friends that she was okay, she was only suffering from a case of the laughs. A moment of silence dawned on the crew, this to include the boys. When out of no where, they heard a giggle coming from….

Neji's side???

Okay things were getting weird as it is, however, the fan girl chose this as the perfect moment to ask Sasuke if he wanted to go out. She scoffed at her and stood up, walking out of the parlor. The guys nodded their head at Sakura and their friends, but they failed to see Shikamaru looking at Temari and Temari winking at him. He smirked and finally made his way out. The fan girl glared at Sakura for like ages. Sakura had ruined her 'precious' time with her 'precious' Sasuke-kun and she was going to pay for it.

So they decided to split and meet up the following weekend. Well, Temari that is, not the boys. Sakura then decided to walk away thinking about upcoming events.

SuNdAy

The next day, which was a Sunday, was mostly family time for her and her parents. It was something she was really craving for, and being the lovely parents they are, they wanted to spend as much time as they can with their one and only child.

The day was mostly spent out. They had a picnic at the beautiful park, where Sakura trees are mostly in bloom. They went out for dinner at the Fantastique, which was a well known restaurant for many high class divers. They had fun. They laughed, they talked, they were a family and that was important. And then it came time to go to sleep. Sakura knew for a reason that tomorrow was going to be one hectic day. It was a Monday after all.

MoNdaY

As every school day starts, Sakura faces challenges even when she is not at school. First, there was the ever unconquerable alarm clock who would shout his battle cries early in the morning, bring Sakura to the land of the living yet again. He was shielded from her powers with her mother's threats of having to use her own money to buy another destructive beast. The world has gone mad was all that went through her head as she prepares her self for the worst battle yet, school.

She shot out of the shower, the time was currently 7: 23 and she had a few minutes to get ready so she can go to school and meet up with some of her friends. She wore a black baby doll dress that reached the pockets of her Dickies, which went below her knees. She had on black chucks with a fern that was crystallized on the side. She checked her self in the mirror and smiled. She went downstairs, ate her breakfast, and drank her pills before she dashed out the door and walked to school. It was currently 7: 39 and she had a few minutes left to get there.

She had made it a habit to stay on the sidewalks; also she has made it a habit to look out onto the road way before she would cross. After what had happen on her first day, there was no way in hell was she going to let that happen again. However, her thoughts were cut short when a black Mercedes-Benz pulled up besides her. The window rolled down to reveal those same alluring onyx eyes she had was staring at two days before. It was Sasuke, and it seems like he was by himself.

"Wanna lift?" Sasuke asked passively.

"Wha- Why?" asked Sakura. She found herself speechless and dumbfounded at his sudden forwardness. She cursed herself mentally as she stood there just staring at him.

Sasuke shrugged. "Just thought I repay you."

Sakura thought for a moment and then remembered the ice cream parlor. She looked at him and smiled.

"Ugh, thanks for the offer but I'm going to pass."

"Well, it's up to you, but just know that you now got ten minutes left before you reach school." With that said he rolled up his windows and waited a good ten seconds before driving off.

"That ass!" exclaimed Sakura. She was furious. He had caused her to waste her time. Oh boy was he in for a rude awakening.

Sakura barely made it in time, and as she arrived at the front doors, she saw Sasuke come out of his car……….with a girl, who was just fixing her top.

Great, thought Sakura. However, she had to admit, she felt a gnawing pain in her stomach when she saw that girl come out of the car. She decided to head in anyways thinking that maybe it was stomach ache and nothing more. Sasuke did not fail to see the girl with pink hair enter the front doors. He took a side glance at the girl fixing her top before making his way to the same doors Sakura had just past. He felt weird knowing that Sakura had seen him with this girl, who was nothing but a mere slut. In a way, it bugged him to no end.

Sakura was on her way to class, when Tsunade had announced that the first period class was a free period, and then proceed to their Science class, and then continue on to the gym for an urgent message. Sakura decided to just take her time as she saw a few kids come out of their class and parade around the halls like it was nothing. Heck! It was nothing.

As Sakura stood there fetching her things, a manly, yet addicting smell entered her nostrils. She tilted her head to look at her right and saw Sasuke at his own locker. It was just a locker away. She smiled and looked away.

It is weird, here I am standing a locker away from Sasuke and I can't even mutter a freaking 'hello'. He looks cute, and he is also smart. Ugh! Who am I kidding; he would never go for me. It's time to float on like all those other times.

Sakura sighed slowly as she closed her locker and glanced at Sasuke who was still putting a few books into his locker. She then turned around and walked to her first period. Sasuke saw the look she gave him before she left and couldn't help but feel guilty.

For what?! He thought.

He too the walked straight to class, having realized he was putting in books and then putting them back as if trying to seem occupied for a reason. He just wanted to see if Sakura was going to say anything about the 'ride' incident, but she didn't.

She didn't.

First period was used only by many to converse between friends. Others for playing, and some for sleeping. Soon the bell rang and they had to go to their science period. It had seem that there were going to be two periods before the announcement and two after for a half day.

"Now settle down students, I have a very important project that you must all complete for your semester grade," said Kurenai.

"Now I will assign you in partners, and if you don't like it, put up or shut up. Is that clear?" she asked. The students nodded in understanding. "Good, now this will be a team project. You will be judged on many things, this to include teamwork." At the sudden mention of "teamwork", the girls, meaning all the girls, except Hinata and Sakura, all stared at the 'Four', but mostly at Sasuke.

What the fuck are they gawking at?! He thought.

" Okay, now come back to me. I will call out your names and then I want you to get into your groups. Uzumaki Naruto and Hyuuga Hinata."

Hinata went blush crazy as Naruto strode to her and smile her that cheesy grin that can melt any heart right on the spot.

"Yamanaka Ino and….."

Shikamaru peeped up an eye and prayed that it wasn't him. He would literally get on his knees if it weren't for his stupid rep.

"Nara Shikamaru." Unfortunately, Kami was not on his side today, but for a good reason.

"Uchiha Sasuke and….."

You can hear girls whisper "Please let it be me, please, please, please.." It was an endless cycle of begging.

"Haruno Sakura." The girls gasp.

They glared at her. It was hard for Sakura to maintain herself as she felt like she was being shrink into nothingness and that was the only thing that would satisfy the fan girls. After Kurenai had told them about their projects, the bell rang, so the students started to exit the classroom and into the hallway. Signaling time for a break before they all move into the gymnasium.

As Sakura and Sasuke were walking down the hallway, all eyes were on them, as they felt something rumble. Was it an earthquake? No, to be more specific it was a herd of girls running towards something. Sakura traced where they were looking to stare directly at the very person in front of her, Sasuke.

"Up for running?" asked Sasuke while smirking.

"Wha-?" She didn't even finished when Sasuke pulled her hand and dragged her at the end of the hallway.

(Insert music clip: High School Never Ends – Bowling for Soup)

Four years you think for sure
That's all you've got to endure
All the total dicks
All the stuck up chicks
So superficial, so immature
Then when you graduate
You take a look around and you say HEY WAIT!
This is the same as where I just came from
I thought it was over
Aw that's just great

Sakura was practically out of breath when she tugged on Sasuke to stop. Her heart rate was going up and that was not a good thing. Sasuke decided to take a break for about five minutes before making a break for the gym. It was after four minutes, and Sakura's calm heart rate, that they felt the rumble again.

Not again, thought Sakura.

Sasuke smirked as Sakura sighed and held out her hand for Sasuke to take. He took and and made a dash down the stairway into yet another hallway.


The whole damn world is just as obsessed
With who's the best dressed and who's having sex
Who's got the money, who gets the honeys
Who's kinda cute and who's just a mess
And you still don't have the right look
And you don't have the right friends
Nothing changes but the faces, the names, and the trends
High school never ends

Sakura felt like passing out. She was not going to last pretty soon, when all of a sudden she was pulled into a dark room. It had a smell of pine and bleach. They could only guess that this was the janitor's closet. As they heard the rumble pass by Sasuke was about to take a peek to see if the coast is clear. That is when they heard girls talking outside.

"What is going o-" said Sakura. Sasuke placed his hand over her mouth to prevent her from talking.

"Sshh" mouthed Sasuke.

They were stuck there until those fan girls went away. Finally when there was no sound heard outside, Sasuke took a quick peek.

Good no one in sight, thought Sasuke as he exit the closet with Sakura close behind. That is, until they heard a few squeals and some "Sasuke-Kun" from the background. The fan girls were so close.

"Shit" said Sakura. This time, she took his hand and guided him somewhere, anywhere!

It was a good five minutes when they found themselves back where it all started again. They were down the hallway when the girls began chasing them.

Then out of nowhere, the girls cornered them from both side of the hall way. There was an exit in front of them, but that would lead them outside. They had no choice in this. They were not going to stand there and get eaten alive by those carnivores.

The whole damn world is just as obsessed
With who's the best dressed and who's having sex
Who's in the club and who's on the drugs
Who's throwing up before they digest
And you still don't have the right look
And you don't have the right friends
And you still listen to the same shit you did back then
High school never ends

They were outside rounding the school building. They had hid in Sasuke's car for about three minutes before there was no sign of any of those beastly girls.

They finally found an opened window on the first floor. The had no choice but to climb into it. They had very little time left, and they could not risk being seen. Sakura was the first to climb, while Sasuke was on the lookout. Sakura was standing there watching and waiting as Sasuke made his way in through the window. However, he heard a squeal and instead of landing on his feet, he sort of leaped forward to Sakura. Sakura saw Sasuke literally launch at her, but it was too late to avoid it now. She went down rear first and then elbows as Sasuke landed on top of her.

So here they were, Sakura lying down, body still, while Sasuke straddled her. They heard a few girls say a few things.

"Oh my gosh, I think I saw Sasuke go through that window," said a fan girl. She was pointing at the window.

Sasuke froze. He was still trying to get use to his new position when he heard that.

He looked down at Sakura and said, "Don't move." Automatically sending shivers down her spine. Sakura just kept on staring at his eyes while he stared at hers.

The fan girl peeped into the window and not bothering to look down where if she did, she wound have seen Sasuke and Sakura in a very intimate….. position.

Sasuke slowly leaned forward and was just about to kiss Sakura when a voice was heard through the speakers.

High school never ends

High school never ends

"Students are now to make their way to the gym for the urgent announcement. I repeat, students are to make their way to the gym for the urgent announcement. Thank you."

Here we go again

"Shit" they both muttered in unison as Sasuke stood up from Sakura and cleaned himself up. Same as Sakura.

T.B.C.

A/N: Ugh so what do you think. I was typing like mad really. And that was three and a half hour ago. I feel much better now. I just wanted to make this chapter better for the reviewers. I feel like they at least deserved a longer chapter than that I've offered. Hehe, there isn't really that much of a difference but oh well.

Thank you to all my reviewers and those who read as well.

Faafetai.
