Don't You Remember Me?: 17
" Did you find a way to keep those two apart?"
" Hai. I inturrupted them. They shouldn't be a problem for awhile."
" Excellent.. Please do keep them apart, we need the boy for our own mission. I don't care what you do about the Haruno girl, but keep them apart."
" Hai Oroachimaru-Sama. "
School
Sakura walked to her locker through the usual crowded hallways. She felt so out of place.
Finally she got to her locker to get her binder.
Man was she bored, it had been about 2 months. Well, without Naruto at least.. Whenever they were together, they didn't know what to say, so they didn't and stopped saying anything at all.
She walked into her last hour class. A class that she had with Naruto, and she kind of dreaded it.
Sakura looked and found those same blue eyes looking straight back at her. It really hurt to see him. She didn't know what to think or to say. She walked over to Hinata and TenTen sitting besides them, instead of her usual seat next to Naruto. She looked back and saw the pain in his eyes. Pain, that he feels, or Sakura thinks he feels, is his fault. She looks back over to her friends and starts to chat about nothing in particular.
Then Sakura heard a voice. A voice that irritated her to no end.
She glanced back at Naruto and his group, and saw that her fears were true.
" Heya Naruto! " Rei said happily.
Rei had transferred to Naruto's last hour, to bug the hell outta Sakura it seems.
Eversince Rei's shown up here, she's ruined mine and Naruto's relationship.. The bitch, she should go fall off a cliff
" Hey Rei, what's up?" Naruto said, he still was very friendly towards her.
This really bugged the hell out of Sakura.
" Not much, but I was wondering if you wanted to go to this concert with me this weekend?" Rei said with a sly smile.
" Sounds cool, ok, I'll go to the concert with you Rei, " Naruto said.
" Great! Well, I'll see you later Naruto." Rei said as the bell rung. Rei passed Sakura, TenTen, and Hinata swaying her hips a little.
Sakura crushed the pencil that was in her hands.
TenTen sighed and Hinata shivered a little in fear.
" Hey Hinata, you want to go get some food?"
" Sure Kiba, I'll meet you in the parking lot. "
" Ok, see you there." Kiba said as he pecked her sweetly on the lips. Yeah, they were dating. Hinata was tired of Naruto not being able to understand that she liked him, so she and Kiba became closer. Then it lead to them going out. End of story.
" Well, I'll see you later guys! " Hinata said, excited for their date.
" Have fun Hinata!" Sakura smiled.
" Not too much fun Hinata, if you know what I mean.." TenTen smirked at the said girl. Hinata blushed a deep shade of red and quickly made her way out of the classroom.
" Nice one. " Sakura said as she rolled her eyes at TenTen.
" What, who knows what they would do?" TenTen said, and Sakura sighed in defeat.
" Ok, whatever.. But what is this that I hear that is going on between you and Neji?" Sakura smiled coyly.
TenTen went pale, and started to sweat.
" W-What do you mean?!"
" I hear that he has been tagging along with you to your basketball practices."
" Oh, is that all? I thought you heard that he asked me out." TenTen covered her mouth, but it was too late.
" Oh my gosh! Really? Did you say yes? When is it, gosh tell me!!!" Sakura said excitedly.
" I said no. " TenTen sighed.
Sakura was stunned.
" What?! Why???" Sakura said, shaking TenTen's shoulders.
After stopping Sakura from shaking her to death, TenTen said,
" Well, I really don't want to go out with a player like him. Especially if he's been in Ino-Bitch's pants. Gross! "
" Ackk! I can't believe him!" Sakura answered.
" Yeah, I know right? So how could I possibly go out with him? "
" Are you telling me that you would, you know, do it with him? " Sakura asked seriously.
TenTen then turned red, and regretted ever saying anything.
" That's not what I meant! Really, I-!"
Sakura had a knowing smirk gracing her features.
TenTen blushed a deeper shade of red.
She was silent for a minute, but came up with something.
" Well. What about you and Naruto? "
Sakura was silent.
" Well.. What about Naruto?" Sakura asked, though there was a small blush on her cheeks. She knew exactly what TenTen meant.
" I mean, didn't you ever think of having you know.. with Naruto?" TenTen answered.
Sakura was red.
She never really thought about it. But, she put it out of her mind.
" No, I've never have." Sakura answered.
TenTen gave her a yeah right look, but Sakura didn't give in. She was sure she never had and so she proceeded in her thoughts.
" Besides, Naruto and I aren't really seeing, eye to eye right now. " Sakura said her eyes showing sadness.
TenTen's smirk turned into a frown and she looked guilty at Sakura.
" I'm sorry Sakura."
Sakura smiled sadly and said as she looked at Naruto as he walked out the door talking with Sasuke.
" It's ok. Me and Naruto, well.. I don't know if our friendship will ever be mended."
" But.. Sakura.. Don't you, I mean, don't you wish you and him could be more?" TenTen asked.
Sakura smiled and thought to herself before answering.
" No, I don't want to be more. "
Sakura was lying to herself and to TenTen.
On the inside, Sakura so very much wanted Naruto for herself. She wanted them to be more than friends, way more than friends. But, now, they couldn't even be friends, and it really hurt that she couldn't even be friends with Naruto. After everything, after all that had happened when they were young. They were no more.
" Ok, if you're sure. If you're really sure, because, there's no turning back now, " TenTen said.
Sakura sighed, but smiled and said,
" Yeah, I'm 100 percent sure!"
TenTen was unsure of Sakura, but went with what she said.
" Ok, well, I better go before coach makes us run laps."
" K,I'll see you later Ten-Chan," Sakura answered.
" Bye Saku-chan." With that TenTen left.
Sakura slowly left.
She walked out the double doors to her car. Sakura was in her car when she saw Naruto out of the corner of her eye. She really wanted to talk to Naruto. So she reached for her car door handle and was about to open it, when she heared,
" Hey Naruto, I forgot to tell you something!" Sakura's hand flew from the handle.
" Oh, hey Rei, it's you." Naruto stopped walking and smiled at Rei.
" Yeah, well, all I wanted was to give you this." Rei smiled.
" What?"
Rei got on her tiptoes and gave him a nice slow kiss on his lips.
Sakura's eyes were wide from shock. Then she was angry and full of jeolousy. Naruto didn't pull away from Rei.
Sakura pushed the gas down and recklessly drove out of the parking lot.
The sound of the car made Naruto and Rei stop the kiss and Naruto saw the licence plate of the car that was racing out of the parking lot.
It read - CHERRY and the car was Sakura's.
Oh shit.
4 months later..
Sakura walked to her usual table with Kiba, Hinata, Neji, TenTen, and Matsuri. She was not in a great mood that day.
First of all, Temari, Ino, and Rei had made her so angry that she attacked them, and she got into trouble. Then, her stupid fanboys were all over her and were trying to rape her. And Finally, Mr. Popular had to kiss the stupid slut .
Well, it's just like every day.
" Hey Sakura. " Matsuri said as she sat down for lunch.
" Hey Matsu. " Sakura said irritably.
" Sounds like your day was rough." TenTen said, Neji's arm was slung around her waist protectivly.
" It was, and stupid Mr.Popular made it worse." Sakura said laying her head on the table.
" Was he all over that slut again? " Hinata asked, Kiba was holding her hand.
" Yeah, he's always all over that bitch Rei! God, I don't ever not see them apart. It's disgusting!" Sakura answered.
" Bitch.." Matsuri muttered.
Sakura nodded and TenTen said,
" Mr.Popular isn't all that much better. He's been getting worse everyday, hitting on all of the girls even when Rei's not even about 5 feet away, it's sickening!"
" Yeah, he's such a player!" Hinata said.
All of the girls stared at Hinata.
" What?" Hinata asked.
" We've never heared you talk badly about Mr.Popular. It's really weired! " TenTen dramatized.
Hinata rolled her eyes.
" Just because I've never said anything, doesn't mean that I don't know that Mr.Popular is such a man-whore!" Hinata said her eyes closed and proud.
" Good for you Hinata!" The girls all said and hugged her.
They all laughed while the two guys just talked about cars.
" So, like I was saying. Mr.Popular was all over the bitch and then I saw him groping Ino and Temari at the same time!" Sakura said with disgust in her voice.
" How the hell can anyone do that?" TenTen asked, an eyebrow raised.
" I don't know how. But he was doing it and gosh was it disterbing!" Sakura said.
" Wow.. That bastard. " Matsuri said.
" Yeah, well, I don't really want to talk about him right now. He's such an asshole. " Sakura said, trying to change the subject.
" Ok Sakura. Did you hear about the.. " Sakura didn't hear the rest of the conversation for she tuned them out. Right, you probably are really confused right now, right?
Naruto and Sakura still have not made up from the sleepover incident and don't ever talk, much less even look at each other. Yes, Rei became a bitch, not that she wasn't one, and joined Ino and Temari's group.
TenTen and Neji finally started going out and Hinata and Kiba are still going strong. Matsuri doesn't really talk to Gaara and Sasuke's still a playboy. Shikamaru started going out with Ino.
That's all you really need to know, for now I guess.
Anyways, Sakura was once again thinking for the up millionth time, about Naruto.
" Don't you think so Sakura?" Sakura's thought were inturrupted.
" Do I think what?" Sakura asked TenTen.
" Don't you think Matsuri and Kankuro would make a cute couple?" TenTen said with impatience in her voice.
" Uhh.." Matsuri was looking at her feet, a blush had crept onto her face.
" Yeah. Kankuro's so hot, you should go out with him Matsu!" Sakura exclaimed.
" Oh? Well, if you think I should Saku," Matsuri answered.
" Damn straight I do. He is soo hot! " Sakura said,making Matsuri only blush more.
" But what if he's like a really big jerk in person?" Matsuri asked.
" Well.. Don't you think that he diserves a chance to at least to get to know you? You never know, he could be a really great guy!" Sakura answered.
" Well, if you put it that way.. Ok, I will accept his date offer!" Matsuri said, her old self recomposing.
With that Matsuri went to find Kankuro.
" Sakura. Shouldn't you take your own advice?" TenTen asked worridly.
Sakura shook her head.
" I've fallen for a guy that never has loved me back in the first place. I can't do that anymore. It won't work. " Sakura said.
" Fine Sakura, but I really think you should listen to your heart instead of your head all of the time. " TenTen said.
" No, the last time I did that. I was hurt. I can't do that, not anymore. " Sakura said very stubbornly.
" Ok, whatever.." TenTen said as she got into a conversation with Neji. Hinata with Kiba.
She was all alone. Once again.
Sakura sighed.
The last time she was once truly happy was the night of the sleepover last year. Ever since, she can't ever find herself as truly happy as she was.
Sakura's eyes fell upon Mr. Popular and Rei. They were once again making out and thrashing about. God, it made Sakura want to throw up. She hated seeing them like this.
Especially since she had almost had her chance with him before. It really did hurt so bad, that she couldn't breath sometimes. Her heart was shattered into tiny pieces, and like gluing all of those pieces, it was really close to impossible that her heart would ever be whole again.
So instead of even trying, Sakura's eyes closed in defeat and let everything in her life sink in.
When she opened them again, Naruto was standing before her with that scorching hot smile.
Sakura couldn't help but feel hot under this gaze. But then she saw Rei and him kiss again.
It angered her and she wanted to push it away. Then as she did, Naruto became a different person. The person that she had basically created, but wouldn't admit to it. Mr. Popular was his name, no longer known as the Naruto Sakura once knew; for if she did call him that, It would break her picture she once had of Naruto, and she didn't want that. He was too precious to her. He was once the great guy Sakura was refering to when she told Matsuri that. But.. No longer is he that same guy. And it really hurt her. It really did..
