Don't You Remember Me?: 12
Naruto didn't know what to think. Rei and Naruto were doing some of their project at a Starbucks. It had been a full two days of school since Sakura introduced Rei to him.
They were sitting in a booth in the front of the cafe. Rei had still been all over Naruto, but Naruto was too nice to tell her to stop. He liked her, but she was a little too clingy. Yeah, he liked her, so he wanted to be her friend.
Anyways, Rei had just gone to the bathroom, which left Naruto all alone. So, you know how Naruto is. He's not gonna work on the project. Simple as that.
So, he had to find something to keep his mind preoccupied. He looked out the window at the little shops that surrounded the Starbucks. A small bakery, a book shop, a Sakura..
Wait. A Sakura..? Sakura isn't a store..
Naruto made a double-take at the girl. She had her hair down and it was curled. Her navy-blue dress was blowing in the wind. She had on black heels, and she wore a smile.
Gaara was walking with her. This is what made Naruto not know what to think.
She was laughing at something Gaara said. Naruto wasn't laughing.
As a matter of fact, he was mad. Why is Sakura with him?! WTF..??!! I asked if she wanted to come with me to, well.. here! She said she had to do something!! But I didn't know she meant to go on a date!!! Tch..
Flashback-
" Hey, Sakura-Chan! " Naruto said afterschool Tuesday, which was yesterday.
" Hey' ya Naruto.. What's up? " Sakura asked grabbing her stuff from her locker.
" Well.. I was just wondering if you wanted to go with me to Starbucks tomorrow? " He said, scratching his cheek.
Sakura had a look of sadness.
" Uh.. Sorry Naruto, I have to do.. Something tomorrow. " She said frowning at him.
" Ohh.. That's ok, I guess. Maybe some other time then Sakura-Chan.. " Naruto said, disappointment in his voice.
Sakura looked at him, pain in her eyes.
" I really am sorry Naruto. But I have to go, see you tomorrow. " She added briskly as she walked the oppisite direction of Naruto, out to her car.
Naruto watched her go.
End Flashback-
I just asked to work here with Rei because I was already going to be here. But, Sakura lied to me! What the hell..?!
Sakura and Gaara were almost out of sight by now. Naruto clenched his fists until they were white.
" Hey Naruto, I think were done for today. Don't cha' think? " Rei said as she walked out of the bathroom.
Naruto just sighed and said,
" Yeah.. I guess. " He had a little edge in his voice.
Rei looked at Naruto.
" Are you ok, Naruto-Kun? " Rei asked, worry in her eyes.
Naruto sighed and forced a smile onto his face and said,
" Yeah.. I'm fine Rei.. " Naruto added a fake laugh, she didn't seem to notice and smiled.
" Ok, I was just wonderin' .. "
Naruto nodded and they left.
Sakura and Gaara..
" So, how is she..? " Sakura asked Gaara as they walked.
" She's.. Um, great. " Gaara smiled. Sakura rose an eyebrow.
" Oh yeah..? Like how? Like a girlfriend..? " Sakura asked, the wind blowing across her legs. They were passing a Starbucks. Sound familliar?
" NO! I mean.. no.. " Gaara panicked, his face flushed and was turning the color of Sakura's hair.
Sakura laughed.
" Ok, ok..! I know you guys are just friends.. But have you ever thought of being anything more than that? " Sakura asked, knowing that the answer was 'yes,' but Gaara would never admit it.
Gaara's eyes shifted over to Sakura, suspiciously.
" .. No, why-cough-would I..? "
Sakura rolled her eyes and said using all of sarcasticness in her voice,
" Yeah.. Of course not.. " She smiled knowingly.
Gaara blushed and said,
".. I ha-haven't! "
Sakura couldn't help but sigh in annoyance. He will never except the fact that he likes her..
" Whatever Gaara.. "
Gaara sighed in relief as she decided to stop pesterring him about her.
They had made it to the autoshop to pick up Gaara's car. They were going to the airport.
About 15 minutes later..
" When is her flight supposed to get here? " Sakura whined at Gaara, while watching a few couple planes land outside the window.
" I told you, she's gotten' off the plane already, so stop annoying me. " Gaara said darkly.
" Gosh, don't bite my head off.. I was just wondering.. " Sakura's lip was fake trembling.
Gaara rolled his eyes and said,
" huh.. Ok, I'm sorry.. "
" Yay! " She said while she tackled him.
" ..Ow, c'mon get off of me, Sakura.. She's gonna be here any minut- " Gaara was inturrupted, but was still trying to push a, rather annoying, Sakura off of him.
" -So, the minute I get off the plane, I see you guys fighting over who gets to see me first, huh? " The girls smiled as she pulled a suitcase over to where they were standing.
Sakura stopped attacking Gaara and ran over to her.
" Hey'a girl! How are you?!?!?!??? " Sakura grinned at her old-best friend from Sunagakure.
" I'm so good Sakura! How are you getting on here in Konoha? " The girl asked.
Sakura smiled at her.
" Well, It's been pretty good.. I've had to keep Gaara here in check though. He wouldn't stop checkin' out all of the girls!" Sakura said as if it was unbelievable.
The girl covered her mouth in fake surprise. Gaara rolled his eyes and walked over to the two girls.
" You know I wouldn't look at any other girl besides you Matsuri. " Gaara said, fake love in his voice.
Matsuri fake gagged with Sakura and said, while she batted her eyelashes at him.
" Oh, Gaara.. "
" Oh, Matsuri.."
" Oh, Gaara.. "
" Oh, Matsu- "
" Oh Get a room! " Sakura said as she walked away from the two laughing, dragging Matsuri's suitcase with her.
Matsuri giggled, while Gaara blushed deep scarlet, and they followed her out to the car.
5 minutes later in the car..
" So, Matsuri..? " Sakura asked.
" Yeah Saku? "
" I'm having a sleepover Friday. D' you want to go too? " Sakura asked, her face pleading with puppy-dog eyes.
Matsuri rolled her eyes and sighed,
" Yeah Saku, you know I would anyway! "
Sakura giggled, knowing she had won.
Gaara listened in. He was going to crash the sleepover anyway, right?
" Where do you live again, Saku..? " Matsuri asked.
" Ok, I live on.. hold it.. write it down. No, not with that pen! " Sakura said grabbing the pen out of Matsuri's hand.
" Why not! "
" It's my pen! " Sakura answered.
" But friends let other friends use their pens! " Matsuri said, trying to grab the pen back.
" No! " Sakura said dramatically.
" Yes! "
" No, my pen! "
" C'mon Sakura, share! "
" No!! "
" Sakura?! "
" No, never..! "
Gaara rolled his eyes. Sometimes these girls fight over the stupidist things..
" Fine, but you owe me one.. " Sakura said, giving in.
" Why do I owe you one, it's a frickn' pen?! " Matsuri yelled at Sakura.
" Cuz it's my pen, that's why.. " Sakura said.
" Whatever.. "
" Yeah, you better say whatever.. " Sakura muttered. Sakura was always like this with Matsuri. They were really great friends, but they fight over the stupidest things.
Matsuri rolled her eyes and said,
" Ok what was your address..? "
" 1616 Sakura St. " Sakura replied. Matsuri looked at her weirdly.
Sakura said,
" What..? It is! "
Matsuri shook her head and wrote down the address.
" Hey, Gaara. Do you think you could take me to Sakura's sleepover Friday? " Matsuri asked.
Gaara sighed and said,
" Fine. "
" Thanks Gaara! " Matsuri exclaimed as she hugged him, making him lose control of the car for a second, but he got it back under control.
Gaara glarred at her.
" Opps.. Sorry Gaara.. " Matsuri said while she scratched the back of her head, with a sweatdrop.
" Whatever.. " Gaara said darkly.
No one talked the rest of the trip back, for fear of annoying Gaara. Don't ever piss off Gaara. Ever..
As Sakura was in her room..
An idea popped into her head.
Oh, I should invite Kumiko! Yeah!
Sakura picked up her home phone with her own line and called Kumiko.
" Hey Kumiko, it's Sakura! " Sakura said happily into the phone.
" What's up Sakura..? " The girl asked.
" Oh. Well, I was having a sleep over this Friday and I wondered if you wanted to come? " Sakura waited for the other girl's reply.
" Really, a sleepover? Haven't been to one of those in forever, but ok Sakura. " The girl answered.
" Great, my new addess is at 1616 Sakura st. Yeah I know Sakura St.. But it should only take an hour to get here from Suna. "
" Ok, see you Friday then.. "
" Yeah see you Kumiko.. "
Sakura hung up and was left to dwell on her thoughts.
The sleepover on Friday, huh..?
Can't wait..
That's all for now! Yeah, I know it must be a little confusing, but the next chap. should clear it up for you. So, yeah, Matsuri is from Naruto too, so she isn't a character oh my own creation. But Kumiko is another OC of mine. Yup another one!
But anywayz, please review and I'll see you soon, later :)
