A/N: Okay, so here I am, updating. I would like to thank all you that have reviewed my story. Ok, ugh, this is going to be just a filler chapter. I am so sorry, but I can't just jump on to the next chapter without explaining how it all began. And some wanted to know what the announcement was.

Disclaimer: Sighs No, I don't own Naruto.


Recap:

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.

End of Recap.


Chapter 6: Planning can be so "troublesome"

As the students gathered in the gym, as Tsunade made her way to the stage.

"Alright students now calm down and find a seat," she said coolly. However her words fell on deaf ears. Nobody was paying attention to the now fuming principal.

"EVERYBODY TAKE A SEAT…NOW!" yelled Tsunade. Some kids just need a little lecturing and maybe a bit more, she thought.

The students were now frantically looking for a seat, not wanting to get yelled at by Tsunade.

Sakura, Hinata and Tenten were already seated in the middle, while Sasuke, Naruto, Shikamaru, and Neji were all seated in the back. It was them plus the entire female population, excluding Sakura and her friends. So the four guys were in the back surrounded by raging lunatics, leaving the guys in the front.

Sakura looked in the back just in time to catch Sasuke looking at her. She averted her attention to something else when she noticed that Gaara was sitting by a bunch of jocks that were continuously making fun of him. In the past month, Sakura had learned a few about Gaara, but that was more compared to the whole school. He had become her unknown friend.

Sakura's flashback

Sakura was making her way to her locker. It was lunch and it wasn't until she was in the cafeteria that she figured out that she forgot her lunch money. She quietly, yet quickly walked to her locker when she noticed a red blur walk past her. She turned around to see that it was Gaara making his way outside.

I wonder why he is going outside for, thought Sakura.

While stuck in her thoughts, her body slowly made its way to where Gaara had just passed. He didn't go outside, he went to the office. Sakura decided that it was nothing. She turned around, only to be met with a very muscular chest. Sakura stumbled a bit back and looked at who she had just bumped into. It was Gaara.

"Oh, I am so sorry, I didn't see you there," said Sakura. She tried to sidestep him, but he ended up blocking it.

"Why were you following me?" asked Gaara, impassively.

"Wha- I wasn't following you. It must've been somebody else," she tried the other way, and he blocked it as well.

"Yeah, you must be right. I mean, there are so many people out there with pink hair," Gaara stated.

Sakura froze and looked up at Gaara. He was quite the looker. He was cute up close, but she wasn't going to tell him that.

"Well, I was, ugh, just going to the office as well," Sakura said calmly, even though her nerves were all tangled up.

"Right, even though it is lunch time, and nobody would be here," Gaara deadpanned.

Sakura gave out a nervous laugh and saw that Gaara was retreating. He was only making a call to his employer, when all of a sudden he saw that he was being followed by Sakura. He smirked at the realization that Sakura was following him, but he also knew not to test his limits, seeing how the youngest Uchiha was also eyeing her.

End of flashback.

Tsunade's voice quickly interrupted Sakura's thoughts.

"Okay, now getting down to more pressing matters," said Tsunade.

More pressing matters? How long was I spacing out? Sakura pondered.

"The Upper Classmen Week is coming up, and the annual Beach Party is going to be this Friday, followed by the Bonfire," said Tsunade.

"The committee has yet to give me an update," said Tsunade. She was obviously glaring at someone or maybe the whole school. "However, that can't be accomplished if we don't have a committee."

"So I would like to notify those who are interested in joining the committee, to come and sign up at the office," said Tsunade. Considering the looks on the students, she would be lucky if even two signed up.

Sakura immediately brighten up, earning questionable stares from both Tenten and Hinata.

"Ok, that is it, thank you. You are all dismissed," said Tsunade.

Tenten, Hinata, and Sakura remained seated as the students piled up at the door. Sakura smiled and turned to her three friends.

"Okay you guys, what do you say about signing up?" asked Sakura.

"Sign up for what?" asked Tenten. She knew for a fact that she wasn't going to like where Sakura was going.

"Oh come on! Sign up for that Beach Party/Bonfire committee," replied Sakura. However, based on the horror look that her friends gave her, she would have to take that as a no.

"Oh come on, it is going to be loads of fun," said Sakura.

"Fun? Sakura anybody who is basically everybody knows that planning this thing would earn them the Geek of the Year award," said Tenten. At this, Sakura gave her shot her a quizzical look, all the while Hinata remained still.

"S-Sakura-chan, a-anybody kn-knows that thi-this is going t-to be a h-hard job," stated Hinata.

"She is right, Sakura, the last person that planned this ended up burning the food, and the bonfire was cancelled because she also burned the table," Tenten said knowingly.

"Okay, well, I'm going to sign up. You guys can if you want to, but I'm going to do it," said Sakura.

Sakura immediately stood up and Tenten and Hinata followed suit. They were walking down the empty hallway and heard somebody moaning.

"Aahh!" screamed Tenten.

"Tenten, calm down, will you," said Sakura. She, too, felt uncomfortable, first seeing Sasuke in the morning with a girl, and then hearing somebody, ugh, moan.

'Stupid, hormonal, sex-craved, loud-mouthed, idiotic lunatics!' Sakura's Inner self exclaimed.

'For once, I would like to go through a whole year without having to come in contact with people of such low standard,' her Inner self deadpanned,

'For once, I agree,' said Sakura.

While Sakura was distracted by her Inner self, Tenten and Hinata were looking at her oddly, due to the fact that her face kept on changing her facial expressions.

"Yo, Sakura? Earth to Sakura," said Tenten.

"M-Ma-Maybe she is b-being po-possessed," said Hinata.

Tenten nearly gave out laughing, while thinking about Sakura going Linda Blair on them.

"Okay, I so heard that Hinata. I'm not possessed, I just blanked out for a moment there," said Sakura.

"Well, here we are. We are finally at the office," declared Tenten.

Sakura looked at the door and remembered that it was lunch time. Nobody was going to be here. As she was turning around, she heard Tsunade's voice screaming at someone…..or something?

Tsunade finally made her way to the office and noticed three girls standing there, looking at her as if she were some kind of alien. She smiled at them.

"What are you three girls doing here, it is lunch time?" asked Tsunade.

"Well, Tsunade-sama, I wanted to sign up for the Beach Party/Bonfire committee," stated Sakura. Tsunade gasped.

"And us as well," said Tenten. Sakura looked at them and they simply smiled back at her.

"You girls know that this is something that is not to be taken lightly, right?" Tsunade affirmed.

"Yes, Tsunade-sama," replied Sakura.

Tsunade placed the key in the keyhole and motioned for them to follow her. She was without a doubt surprised that these three lovely girls would risk their reputation for the Beach Party/ Bonfire. They could not mess up or else they would be the laughing stock of the school.

She sat at her desk and told the three girls to take a seat on the couch, seeing how there were only two seats.

"If I may, but I must know why you girls are doing this?" inquired Tsunade.

Tenten and Hinata looked at Sakura and Sakura nodded her head in understanding. They wanted her to go first.

"Well, if you must know. As a junior, I need as much amount of credits that I can take up for college. College is right around the corner and I want to make sure that I have everything I need," said Sakura. At this Tsunade nodded her head.

"I just want to make sure it doesn't mess up like last year," avowed Tenten.

"Me t-to, Tsunade-sama," said Hinata.

Tsunade deliberated whether these girls were ready for the load of work they were going to get. From what she had read up on Haruno Sakura, she was simply an over-achiever. She gets good grade, gets along with people, and she can do anything and everything that she sets her mind to. Tsunade also remembered her condition. She was sick, too much stress and put a strain on the poor girl's heart.

"Are you girls sure?" asked Tsunade. All three girls took a glance at each other and finally looked up at Tsunade.

"Yep!" they all declared.

"Then it is settled. Seeing how school is almost over, I want you all to report to my class tomorrow. Also, I need you to see if you guys can recruit more that are willing to help. I'll let you do the announcements in the cafeteria, today. Okay?" asked Tsunade.

"Okay," they, once again, said in unison.

"When?" asked Sakura.

"Now," replied Tsunade. She got up and told the girls to not fall behind.

"What?!" Tenten deadpanned.

"Now. I mean it is going to be this Friday, and if you plan on making it the best, then you better make it today," said Tsunade. It was quite evident to the three that she was getting annoyed.

Tsunade burst through the cafeteria door, making people look at her.

Idiots, stop staring! Tsunade thought.

She quickly made her way to Janitor's closet and got out a microphone. The mic was connected to the school speaker's, so in that case if there were any emergencies the whole school could be easily notified.

"Okay students, listen up. These three girls have an announcement," Tsunade said through the microphone held in her hand. She was pointing at the three girls.

Tenten, Hinata, Sakura looked as if somebody had just dropped a bomb on them, hypothetically speaking, Tsunade did.

Tenten and Hinata quietly stepped back as Sakura stood there, even more shocked. She looked at the two.

"It was your idea in the first place," said Tenten. Hinata just nodded.

"Come on girls, I am not getting any younger," said Tsunade.

Sakura reluctantly took the microphone and stepped on a table where the whole student body could see her. Her heart was pounding so hard, that she honestly thought that she was going to have a cardiac arrest any time soon.

'Calm down, you idiot,' said her Inner self.

Immediately Sakura calmed herself. She looked out into the crowd and notice that all eyes were on her. She thought about what she was going to say and immediately brought up the mic closer to her mouth.

"As we all know, the beach party and bonfire is going to be this Friday. There are not that many in the committee and we were wondering if there was anybody willing to lend a hand. You don't have to do much, really. I, and my friends will take up most of the responsibilities," said Sakura. She smirked when she saw Tenten's face dropped and Hinata smiling back at her.

Out of the blue, a hand went up.

"I'll volunteer," said a….female voice.

Sakura looked up and was quite surprised at who said this. It was Ino. Tenten quickly went psycho mode and took the mic from Sakura and stood right next to her.

"We need people that are actually willing to do work," Tenten said. It was obvious her and Ino did not get along. There was a glaring contest going between the two, and it seems as if both weren't going to give in any time soon.

"Well, that is what I want to do," Ino replied, with just fire as Tenten.

A thought immediately popped into Sakura's head. She snatched the mic from Tenten and smiled that mischievous smile only Tenten and Hinata have come to know and hate with a passion.

Uh oh, thought Hinata.

This can't be good, Tenten contemplated.

"And you never know, we might actually have a mud pit with girls dressed and readied," said Sakura. She was laughing. Sasuke and Neji were both smirking. Tenten's face immediately turned into a growl.

"It was just a joke," Sakura said. She laughed nervously.

The boy population were whistling and smiling.

"I'm in," said a random guy.

"Okay, you people know that it was just a joke right?" asked Sakura. People felt the deathly aura that Tenten was emitting and it was not good.

"Yeah, but by the way things are heading, I'll come prepared," replied the same person.

Sakura just shrugged, and smiled the person.

"Anyone else?" asked Sakura. At this a few people raised their hands. It wasn't really surprising considering that mostly the 'cool' people kept still.

"Okay, well, please stay behind and give your names to Tenten. The others are excuse to go to their classes," said Sakura.

"Hey Tsunade-sama, just a question, but does the committee have to come to school on Friday?" asked Sakura. She was leaning to the side that Tsunade stood. She was well aware that the mic was still in her hand and very close to her mouth.

"No, the committee doesn't have to come to school on Friday. They will be at the beach most of the day," replied Tsunade.

Students froze at the entrance and Sakura looked up, and smirk.

She looks hot when she smirks, thought Sasuke.

Immediately Tenten was pummeled by students wanting to sign up.

"I'm sorry you guys, but we can only have at least ten to fifteen people," said Sakura. The students gave out a sigh and went to their classes. All the others who were in the way front remained.

They sure had a long week ahead of them, and it was just Monday.


Sakura, Tenten, and Hinata immediately went to work.

They were to get tents, tables, chairs, food, music, etc., for the party. Luckily for them, there were a few volunteers that were willing to do the food and music part, leaving them with just the major work load. Sakura decided to divide up the committee to make things a bit better for everybody.

Tuesday and Wednesday quickly passed by. Tenten was the head of the decoration committee, which were responsible with setting up everything from the tents, tables to the chairs and little things. Hinata was in charge of the food committee. She had parents that were willingly donating food, paper plates, and refreshments. Sakura was in charge of all of these. She had to make sure that each and everyone were getting their job completed without any mistakes. She also had to make sure that they had music.

"I got to handed to Sakura, this is actually fun," said Tenten.

"Y-yes, indeed i-it is," replied Hinata.

They were now sitting down in an empty cafeteria waiting for Sakura. Lucky for them, they were excused from some of their classes when Sakura needed them, and Sakura always needed them. They couldn't really remember the last time they actually sat through a whole class.

Hinata and Tenten were quietly conversing when all of a sudden Hinata froze. Tenten was waving her hand in front of Hinata when she looked at the same direction that Hinata was staring at. It was Ino, standing there looking at Tenten as if she was going to gag.

"What the hell are you doing here?" asked Tenten.

"If you must know, but Sakura asked me to meet her here," responded Ino.

"Right, and I am going to rule the world," Tenten said sarcastically.

"Pssh, whatever. All I know is that Sakura said for me to meet her here," said Ino.

Before Tenten could retort, Sakura came rushing into the cafeteria with a two 3-ringed binders that were humongous. They were very large.

"What the-" said Ino.

"Okay, you guys, Tsunade wants me to make sure that no fighting goes on tomorrow. She told me that about two years ago, at one of the beach party, some uninvited guests started a brawl and one of our own kids was badly injured," said Sakura.

"This is basically everybody that is in our school. Look I am not saying to tighten up the security, but seeing how the bonfire is at night, we have to make sure that everybody and I mean everybody makes it home okay," Sakura said. She lifted her hand to show Tenten, Ino, and Hinata the folders.

"Okay, seeing how we still have a lot of work to do, what do you say about a sleepover at my house, tonight?" asked Sakura.

"I'm in! I love sleepover," said Ino.

"I-Im in as w-well, Sa-Sakura-chan," said Hinata.

They all turned their attention to Tenten.

"Fine, just as long as she," Tenten points at Ino, "stays within five feet from me."

"Whatever," said Ino.

"Yay! So we'll go to my house and then I'll see if I can get the car and drive you guys to your house to get your clothes," Sakura declared.

It was after school and Sakura, Tenten, Ino, and Hinata were just exiting the school gates when Sakura realized that she had forgotten the folders in her locker. She gave the girls her address and told them to go on, and that to tell the butler to let them in. She immediately walked to the gates to see that Sasuke's car was still there. She shrugged and kept on walking.

She made it to her locker when she noticed that it was empty. What else did she expect, it was after school. She was loading the folders into her bag when she heard a couple people, specifically guys, laughing down the hall. She looked and saw that it was Sasuke, Neji, Shikamaru, and Naruto.

"Hey, Sakura-chan," said Naruto. He was smiling at her.

"Ugh, hey Naruto," she looked at Sasuke, Neji, and Shikamaru, "guys."

The rest just nodded at her.

"So, I hear that tomorrow is going to be fun," said Naruto.

"Let's just hope so," replied Sakura. Sakura thought that the guys had left and started humming 'Everything I'm Not' by the Veronicas. She loved that song.

"Like you're so perfect, and I can't measure up. But I'm not perfect, just all messed up," said Sakura in a sing-song voice. ( Some lyrics from 'Everything I'm Not')

"I was losing my-," Sakura shut her locker and was stunned to find that Naruto was leaning on the locker right next to her. Sasuke was at his locker, Shikamaru was lazily leaning on a locker opposite from hers and Neji stood next to him, with his back facing the locker.

Okay, creepy, thought Sakura.

'You're telling me,' said her Inner self.

A voice quickly interrupted her thoughts.

"You know, Sakura-chan, you different," said Naruto.

Sakura shot him a confused look.

"I mean, you are not like most girls here."

"Most girls?" questioned Sakura as she quirked a brow.

"Yeah, I mean you are the only one that doesn't droll over any of us," he pointed at the other guys standing there, "and especially teme over there."

"O-kay, should I be honored or insulted?" asked Sakura. She was snickering at Naruto's nickname for his supposed best friend.

Naruto placed a hand on his chin.

"I guess you can say honored," replied Naruto, grinning.

"Ugh, okay then. I'm going to go. See you around, I guess," said Sakura. She was turning around when she noticed Hinata run towards her. Neji immediately sprung from his leaning position.

"Hinata, are you okay?" asked a worried Sakura.

"Sakura-chan, Tenten is-," said Hinata. Unfortunate for her, Tenten came running down with a Ino dead ahead.

"Oh my," said Sakura.

Tenten was chasing Ino through the hallways. It seemed as though Tenten and Ino had gotten into a heated argument and now Tenten was after Ino like a lion on a deer hunt.

Sakura stood aside as Tenten and Ino dashed ahead of them. They were all looking at where they were heading as turned to look at each other. Hinata was the most worried, thinking that she was going to sleep with Tenten and Ino at Sakura's house. It will be a miracle if they woke up without anyone murdering the other.

"Okay, that was weird," said Sakura. "What happened, Hinata?" asked Sakura.

"Ugh, Sakura-chan," said Hinata. Her eyes were looking at each and every one of the guys. She did not want to tell them Ino knew that Tenten had a thing for Neji.

"Ugh, right. Let's go find them," said Sakura.

Hinata was already walking ahead.

"Well, see ya," said Sakura. With that she waved Naruto goodbye and walked down the hallway again. There were crashes heard, glass shattering, and many things falling.

"Ah, this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship," said Sakura aloud.

The guys just stood there. Girls, they thought.

Sasuke, however, was smirking.

She sure is different, he concluded.

A/N: Okay, this chapter, surely sucked! Well, that is my opinion. In the next chapter, we'll see how the sleepover went and the Beach Party and Bonfire.

In my school, we have a Senior and Junior Week. It is really fun. We get to do all different kinds of things. I am going to be a senior next year and well, I am in a committee that is planning for our class bonfire. It is going to be tight. And the moaning part, well believe it or not, but in our school it has become something we are all accustomed to. Really, it so weird.

Sasuke and Sakura bonding time. Uh oh, drama up ahead.

Next Chapter Preview:

After seeing Sasuke make out with a girl, Sakura decided to go for a walk. She was confused. Why was she feeling this way whenever she is around Sasuke? Why can't she get him out of her head? These questions were all that seemed to fill her head. Sakura wasn't really paying attention to where she was going. She was starting to go further beyond the boundaries.

Sakura sighed. She decided to just sit there. What else can she do? She had a school crush on a guy that played every girl that he went out with, and the girls didn't care.

While Sakura was lost in her thoughts, a figure approached her from behind. It wasn't until that figure was stood next to her that she turned to see who it was.

She gasped.

"Sasuke?"
