Hey there everyone who reads this story! I hope you guys enjoyed it so far, I am also sorry about how I have two stories going at once and it makes it harder to update. Sometimes, I get confused. I mean, I have two stories going on! I forget what happened to one of the story and accidentally post it on the other story. If you guys don't get what I just typed it is fine because I am really not paying attention to what I'm typing. Yeah, sorry for about confusing you and such. I do not really like typing authors note but I figured, why not?

I know! I hate that feeling when someone takes your for granted. It sucks..But we all have to live with it. Don't you think that everyone has to go through that at least once in their lifetime? I do, for some odd reason...

Dylan is in fact gay, but he is also a scene kid. A scene gay kid, if you guys do not know what 'scene' is then I don't know what century you live in! He kind of plays the part of Suigetsu, but in a totally different way. If you get that!

Lastly: Twisted Obsession
Uhm, well I might as well be honest. You're review kind of hurt me, although it did make me laugh. I can tell you for a fact that Sakura will not try and make him fall in love with her, that isn't a very good best friend. What would you do? Now, before I go and spoil everything, I'll shut up now.

P.S: Go ahead and check out the upcoming stories posted on my profile! For all of you SasuSaku fans!

Anyway, thank you for everyone else that reviewed, if you guys have any other questions..just ask. I'll gladly answer. As long as it isn't a question like, "What will happen in the next chapter?" or something along those lines.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto..

"He is so into me!!" Sakura screamed happily. Her imagination then was filled with sweet things about her and Sasuke.

Seven days passed and Sakura was currently walking down a tiled hallway in Konoha University. She had on some black skinny jeans, with a bright yellow V-neck. She also had on some black shoes. She was heading towards her fourth class for the day. In her hands, she held onto two hard covered books and one paperback work book. Her hair was in two low pig tails, she was currently holding her cell phone in her right hand, carrying her books with her left. Oddly enough, during the week she and Sasuke began to drift apart. "You better watch where you are going, you might bump into somebody."

Sakura didn't look up, because she knew the voice very well. Instead, she just continued skimming through her phone. "Yeah, well. Too bad, I don't feel like it. Isn't your class on the other side of campus?"

"Hn. Your point?"

She finally turned to him. A frown evident on her face. "Sasuke! You're going to be late! Go on and get to class. You only have about two minutes." Sakura said, glancing at her watch. The boy still didn't move from his spot, "Sasuke, you better go now." she softly said. He threw his hand in his raven locks, the girl secretly had an urge to push his face down to hers. She resisted, of course.

"The reason that I'm here is to tell you that I'm ditching rest of the day. Dylan and I are going to go hang out." he said before walking away from her. Sakura sighed.

"..Sasuke, you shouldn't ditch. What about your education? Why can't you just hang out on Saturday? Or Friday?" She asked before he couldn't hear her anymore.

"You sound like my mom." he smirked and left her. She frowned and walked into her classroom, constantly worrying about her best friend. Sakura felt she was slowly losing him. 'It has been a week. Oddly, It seems as if I don't know my own best friend anymore. Like he is changed, the funny thing is that he decided to do this now..He never ditched class before, not once. Out of the blue, he hangs out with Dylan...Man, when should I tell him that I love him? I shouldn't wait to long...That's a fact..' She wasn't paying attention to her medical class that much.

"Sakura Haruno!" The girl snapped out of her thoughts and looked at her blonde teacher. "What is it...?" she answered back calmly. Her instructor, Tsunade, glared at her then ordered her to do something. "Come up here and show us what you need to do and what type of herb you need to use for a migraine." Sakura nodded and stood up from her seat to walk to her professor's desk.

On it, laid out different types of herbs. From arnica flowers, to goldenseal roots. To Sakura, this was all to easy. She already studied about herbs and how to make tea with them in a book,d willingly. She held up a feverfew leaf and showed it to the class, making sure everyone at least took a glance at it. "This leaf is a leaf of feverfew. It is said that it proves most effective when it is taken as soon as signs of an impending migraine attack are recognized. Unfortunately, this herb is generally less effective once the migraine is underway. For best results, this herb should be taken regularly for several months." Sakura smartly said, knowing that she stated the facts.

"Very good. Go take back your seat." Tsunade said, Sakura nodded and sat back in her seat. Soon, Tsunade picked another student to tell the class which herb to use for back problems. Sadly, her fellow male classmate didn't know and got extra sheets for homework.

"Finally," she muttered as she looked back and forth the street to see if ti was safe to cross the street, "What is there to do on a Tuesday afternoon? Hmm, Hinata and Ino must be doing something important. Ino might be at the mall..Sasuke left with Dylan. Whatever. I could get a nice ice blended mocha.." she said to herself as she turned around to get moving to 'Starbucks.'

Sakura entered the place and glanced around. Teens, parents, lonely adults, and some people who were just on their laptop. Her black shoes led her to the ordering area. The male worker asked what she wanted. "I would like a large ice blended mocha." After she paid, she take a closer look at her surroundings. Her eyes spotted a platinum blond with a chunk of blue. She didn't have time to go up to him, because her order has been called.

She mumbled a small 'Thank You' and then she walked up to the man that looked a lot like Sasuke's friend Dylan. The only difference was that he was not with Sasuke. "Dylan?" she questioned. He looked up with a friendly smile.

"Hey. Sakura right?" the girl nodded and sipping her drink. "Whatcha doing here?"

"Just getting something to drink..What about you? Shouldn't you be with Sasuke?"

Dylan nodded and smiled lightly, for a reason unknown to Sakura, "Yeah, but he went to go grab me some candy..you want some? I could give him a call and tell him to buy for two people." he offered Sakura shook her head. She gestured to the vacant seat in front of him. "May I?" He nodded. Sakura sighed, Sasuke has never bought her anything. Well, he did. It was only a pencil though. It wasn't important. Candy on the other hand, were sweet. Sweets make her happy. Pencils don't. Sakura will just ask Sasuke if he could buy her some candy later on.

"So, how do you know Sasuke?" he asked her. Sakura gave a soft smile.

"We were friends since high school."

Flashback:

Sixteen year old Sakura was walking up the many steps to the roof. The girl had on white leggings and a green and pink dress-like shirt. Teenager Sakura opened the door and walked aimlessly around the rooftop. Her ears heard muffled voices coming from the far left. She decided to go near it, to find out what was going on. As she came closer, she could make out the words.

"Take this!" a groan was heard, followed by a sound that sounded like someone was being kicked. Sakura heard someone cough and she quickly ran to it. What she saw horrified her. It was a boy, about her age getting pumbled into a pulp by a senior. The boy that was getting beaten up had spikey raven hair. The guy who was causing his pain had shaggy brown hair. That was all Sakura could tell, since one was facing her back. While the other was on the floor, eyes shut tight.

Sakura ran to them, pushing the standing senior off of the guy her age. "Hey, you okay?" She only recieved a grunt.

"What the fuck? Who do you think you are, little girl?!" Her pink hair was being pulled back, she screamed because of the pain she felt.

"Let me go! You asshole!" she said, which got her a slap in return. Not giving up and crying, she glared at the man, "Why do you guys do this?! Just because you're older doesn't mean you get to beat on us! Karma's a bitch. Next thing you know, you'll regret this. So just stop now!"

"You think I'm afraid to hit a girl!?" he punched her stomach. She gasped and coughed. Falling face first into the cement. Sakura shakily turned to glare at him yet again.

"No, I don't think you're afraid to hit a girl. But afraid isn't the right word. Guys who hit girls are cowards, weaklings. People like you think that hitting a girl is cool. Well, it's not! You're the one scared, since you can't pick on people your own age you beat on people below you..." she whispered out, clutching her stomach.

He gave her a surprised look, as she stood up and faced him. The boy with brown hair pulled back his fist, not being able to move, Sakura shut her eyes tightly. When she opened her eyes, the guy who was beating her up was knocked out. The other victim was standing in front of her, panting. Sakura still managed to walk over to him. "Y-you okay? What's your name? I haven't seen you around here."

Onyx eyes looked up at her, "I'm fine. Are you all right? I'm Sasuke Uchiha."

The girl stared at the body before her, "I think I could manage. Sakura Haruno. How did you get involved with this guy?"

"Walking down the hall alone." he stated. Sakura nodded understanding the situation. Then, they started walking down the stairs, hoping to get to the clinic.

"Do you want to be my friend?" she asked out of the blue. Sasuke stared at her confused, but then it turned into a smirk and then nodded.

End Of Flashback.

"Wow," Dylan muttered. "So you saved him?" Sakura nodded. "Shouldn't be the other way around? Boy saves girl. Boy falls in love with girl. So on, so on." Sakura laughed and shook her head.

"Just because I'm a girl does not mean that I can't do some things on my own. Like saving Sasuke." she said. Sakura then took the time to observe his outfit. He wore a light washed short shorts with a black and white striped V-neck. With a black scarf. "What college do you go to?" she asked.

"I dropped out, I couldn't stand the teachers. They annoy me. I take it you go to Konoha University?" Sakura just nodded and then thought of the possibility of her Sasuke dropping out of school; yes, she said her Sasuke. Then they started to chat about many things, from songs and bands they like to their secret celebrity crushes.

"Sakura? What are you doing here?" a voice asked.

Sakura turned to the man she hopelessly fell in love with and gave him a beaming smile. "Hey there, buddy! I just got out of class, then when I was walking home I started craving for something to drink. I ordered, when I was about to leave I spotted Dylan alone. I decided to give him some company. After all, he should have been with you.."

"I had to buy some candy." he stated, with that said. He threw something at Dylan, it was a big bag full of different types of candy. Sasuke then sat in the seat next to Dylan. The two boys started talking and left Sakura out of it. She frowned, as if they forgot she was there with them. Sakura hurriedly drank the last contents of her cup and then stood up, catching the boys attention.

"I have to go." she stated.

"You sure? I mean, you did just get here." Dylan asked.

Sakura nodded her head, "I just have to go, it was nice talking with you guys. Good-bye Dylan, Sasuke." Sakura walked to the front door, smiling as she opened it for a little boy and his mother. Sasuke stared at her until she was out of sight. It wasn't like Sakura to just leave without a perfectly good explanation. In Sasuke's book, 'I just have to go' was not a good excuse. Something was wrong, and he could feel it. He just decided that he would deal with it later.

When she was walking home, she saw a clear view of one of her good friends..Naruto. "Naruto!" she called, he turned to her and jogged up to her with a slight frown on his face, "What's wrong with you?" she asked concerned for her dear friend. Naruto took his phone out and was texting someone before he answered her.

"The bastard won't text or call me back, I left him like twenty messages and texts. Do you know where he is?" he asked.

Sakura also frowned, "It isn't like him to not return any messages, but I just saw him about ten minutes ago with his friend Dylan. Why..? Is it something important?"

"With Dylan? Who's Dylan?"

"A friend of Sasuke's who is gay, now why did you need Sasuke so bad?" she repeated. Naruto shrugged saying that he wanted to hang out with him and the guys. Sakura shook her head but then remembered her encounter with her long friend Gaara. "Naruto, do you remember a kid named Gaara?" he nodded, "I saw him about a week ago when I was with Hinata and Tenten."

"Really? I haven't seen him in forever! Do you think he's gone already?"

"Probably, I mean, he only came to visit Temari."

"True. Next time, give me a call when he's back in town. I want to talk to him. I gotta go home and get some homework done."

"Okay, I'll - Hey! Wait a minute! You out of all people do not do homework!" she screamed, he laughed at her antics.

"Yeah, but now I have to. If I fail another semester, then I can't become a police officer. That's why I asked Hinata for her homework!! Since, you know, she's taking the same class as me. Who knew Hinata could be into crime?" Naruto said, then walked away from Sakura, "See ya' later Sakura."

"Bye Naruto!!" she yelled back.

After about spending three hours on her work, she changed into something more comfortable. Since it was already five forty three, Sakura just wanted to stay home. Sakura slid herself into a over sized black shirt with loose white shorts. Which were hidden when Sakura stood up. Right now, the pink haired girl was in the kitchen grabbing a bag of chips and a can of Red Bull. Sakura flopped herself on her couch and grabbed the remote. Flipping through the channels, it landed on 'Cartoonnetwork' which had on this crime fighting movie. Sakura believed it was called 'Teen Titans' or something along the lines of that.

Just then it went into commercial, saying they'll be back with more 'Teen Titans: Trouble In Tokyo'. She opened her back of chips while placing her feet on her coffee table to get more comfortable. A knock on the door disrupted her. Not wanting to get up, she shouted that the door was open. Honestly, she could care less of who came in. Turns out that it was her best friend. "Hey, what are you doing here?"

"What's wrong?" he asked, leave it to Sasuke to get straight to the point. Sakura looked at him oddly before letting him in.

"What made you think anything is wrong? Everything is great!" she exclaimed.

"Fine, I'll let it go." he answered plopping down on her couch he stared at her television, "What are you watching?"

Sakura grinned at him and took a seat next to him, "Teen Titans: Trouble In Toyko." Sakura laughed at the expression Sasuke gave her, it was a look that clearly said 'Why-in-the-world-would-you-watch-cartoons?'

"Hmm, so what other reason are you here? Beside, me being okay." she asked, staring at his perfect face.

"I want to ask you to accompany me to a party." he stated. In a way, Sakura thought of it as a date! She nodded, clearly accepting the invitation. "When and where?" Sakura asked him she always wanted to know where she would be going, she was not very fond of surprises. In fact, one time, on her fourteenth birthday she ran away screaming because everyone popped out screaming 'surprise'.

"Saturday. You don't need to worry about where it is, I'll come and pick you up. Be ready before five-fifty-five." Sasuke said still staring at the screen which played a flying girl, with orange-ish hair and green orbs come up from ink. With the help of a spiky-haired male, that was wearing green tights and a cape. Soon, they kissed.

"Okay." There was about five minutes of silence. There was simply nothing to talk about, the girl seemed to remember that earlier that day when she saw Sasuke and Dylan talk and chuckle without a problem. Right now, she envied Dylan. "Hm, Sasuke. Do you mind going to the kitchen and getting me my gummy worms? It's in the cabinet." she asked politely. Sasuke shook his head.

"No. Get it yourself. I'm to lazy." Sakura stared sadly at him. They were best friends, weren't they supposed to do each other favors? That's what she saw in movies and what not. With a sigh, she got up. Leaving him for a while. Truth be told, she never really wanted any candy. She just wanted him to actually go and grab it for her.

"Sasuke?" The man stared up at her, urging her to continue. "That day, you wanted to tell me something, the time we went to Ino's. What was it that you were going to tell me?" He stared at her slightly surprised and shook his head, saying it was nothing. Giving it some thought, she didn't want to push him, "Do you want to hang out, like tomorrow after class?" All she truly wanted was to spend some time with him.

"Can't. I have somethings to do."

"Like what?"

"Going to hang with Dylan and Juugo."

Sakura clenched her fists, "With Karin girl right?"

He stared at her strangely, "Nah, we asked her if she wanted to come but she said that she had to do something. It'll just be us three. Maybe some other time though. What about this Saturday?"

Sakura glared at his figure. Talk about losing train of thought, "You just invited me to a party on that day. Or was that mistake? If it was, you should just take Karin."

"I did? Oh yeah, I did. Sorry about that. You up for it though? There's going to be a lot of people, don't want you getting lost." Wow, talk about mood swings. A second ago he was caring, then he became funny, then he turned cold with a dash of asshole-ness. Then, Sasuke is back to caring.

"Yeah, I'm 'up for it.' I won't get lost. What do you take me for? A little girl? But, let me get this straight. I'm going to a party, with you on Saturday at five-fifty five..? Is anyone else I know that is going to be there?" Sasuke nodded. "Yep, I think Naruto, Ino, and that Gaara kid are going, I'm not sure about anyone else." She stared at his face for a moment more but stopped because there was a beeping noise from her cellphone, signaling to her that she had a text message. Sakura picked her phone quickly and read it, Sasuke saw that there was a smile on her face.

"What does it say?" he asked. Sakura ignored him and her fast fingers pressed the needed buttons and shut it close. Sakura turned to him and finally, answered him. "It was from..."

Ha, sorry it was.. well, not as good as you guys thought it would be! Okay, I would give a huge, and big, and gigantic thank you to TragedyDawl! She's has been helping me come up with ideas and what not. So props for her! She met Crispin Freeman, the voice actor of Itachi from Naruto! I know! I was jealous. But she deserved it! Anyway, I hope you like it, and well..I decided to start going into the main plot, if you could tell!

Heads up: Sasuke does not like Gaara, and Gaara could care less of Sasuke. That's just a little fact if you guys are kind of confused.

The next update will probably be on..July 30, 2009. But again, It depends. I hope you guys take your time to review, and I also hope that you guys enjoyed this story so far!

I'M SORRY FOR ANY GRAMMER MISTAKES...!!!

Okay, it is hot, and I want some ice cream..so Ja ne!
