"Is this class almost over yet?!" Naruto asked out loud. "Shut up dobe. You're attracting attention." Naruto ignored him. "I don't care! This class is so boring!" "I'm glad you think of it that Naruto." Kakashi said

before turning page of his perverted book. Sakura was sitting next to Naruto and Sasuke and they were already giving her a headache. She rubbed her head and tried to take away the pain. It didn't work. Sasuke

noticed this. So did Gaara. "Sakura, you should go to the nurse ask for some pain relievers." Gaara suggested. Sakura got up from her seat. "Kakashi-sensei, can I go to the nurse's office?" She asked.

Kakashi nodded not looking up from his book. Sakura walked out of the classroom and went to the nurse's office. When she got there, Shizune (who is also the nurse) was at her desk. "Hello Sakura-san, is there

something you need?" Sakura nodded. "Can I have some pain relievers?" Shizune nodded and took a bottle of pain relievers and took out two pills. "Here you go." Handing her the pills and a glass of water. Sakura

took them. Soon after she tried getting back to class. On her way she felt her lunch coming back up. Sakura dashed to the restroom before anything spilled out. Her whole lunch including breakfast spilled out in the

toilet. She groaned at the pain. It felt like she was throwing up golf balls. When she done, Sakura flushed the toilet and washed her face. I feel like I'm going to die. Sakura walked out of the restroom and started

walking towards her class. On her way she stopped by the office. The door suddenly banged her forehead and Sakura fell to the ground. Tsunade stepped out. "Oh Sakura! Just the person I wanted to see!" Sakura

got up. "Ow. Well I'm here, what do you want?" Tsunade motioned for her to come into her office. "Sit." Sakura in a chair. "Sakura, I am aware that you are really smart. You see, in a week we will be having these

exams for school. And two of our students aren't doing so well so far. I was wondering if you will be able to tutor them for a while until the exams start." Sakura didn't really know what to do. "I guess it would be

ok." Tsunade smiled. "Wonderful! Let me introduce you the students. "Come in!" The door opened to reveal the faces of Traci and Yuki. What. The. Hell? Sakura was in shock. She has to tutor the two girls

who hate her so much. "You!" They yelled in unison. "Well I see you all know each other. That's great." Traci and Yuki glared at Sakura. Yuki was glaring murderously at her though. Tsunade decided to break

the silence. "I have to get back to some paper work so you girls may go now." Sakura left followed by Yuki and Traci. Yuki walked straight up at Sakura and faced her. "Listen bitch, it's your entire fault that my

Sasuke-kun doesn't like me anymore. I'm only doing this because my parents said that I can I have a huge birthday party and have Sasuke-kun there to perform if –flips hair- I get a good grade in school." Sakura

was having another headache. Traci didn't say anything. "So I better get a good grade or I'll make your life a living hell. Ok?" Sakura nodded. "Good." With that Yuki left down the hallway strutting. Traci turned to

Sakura. "Don't listen to that psychotic moron. She's just trying to scare you." Sakura felt strange. Was this the same Traci that was dated Sasuke and was really annoying? "I know what you're thinking. That I'm

just some slut who's after Sasuke. I'm not…anymore. Sasuke is so two weeks ago. I have a boyfriend, and now I've changed. So don't worry about me. See you in tutoring." Traci walked off leaving dumbfounded

Sakura. Things seem so different. "I better get back to class!" Sakura ran to her class. Luckily she had 3 minutes to spare before the bell rang for the next class. "What took you so long, Sakura-chan?" Naruto

asked. "I had to go to the bathroom since I was about to upchuck again. Then after that I bumped into the principal. Tsunade-sama wants me to tutor these two students." Sasuke then joined Sakura and Naruto.

"Who are the students?" Sakura froze. She can't tell Sasuke who they are. "Um…I think I have to go and help…Sunny! See ya!" Sakura left in a blink of an eye. "That was weird." Naruto said. Sasuke was

frowning. It was weird.

Sakura finally stopped running. She was out of breath and knew that she would have heart trouble again. She took the inhaler out of her bag and put it in her mouth. She felt relaxed again. "That was so close."

Sakura started to walk to her next class avoiding Sasuke. Tsunade passed by and then spotted Sakura. "Hello Sakura, about the tutoring thing. Can you tutor everyday after classes starting today?" Sakura

sighed. "Sure, I guess so." "Great!" Tsunade then walked away. "Why did I agree to this?" Sakura asked herself banging her head on the lockers. "What are you doing Sakura-chan?" Hinata asked who was behind

her. Sakura stopped her banging and looked at her friend. "I have to tutor these two students before the exams." Hinata was confused. "So what seems to be the problem?" Sakura looked into her lavender eyes.

"The students are Traci, Sasuke's ex-girlfriend, and Yuki, the whore that beat me up." Hinata gasped. "How can that be?" "I don't know. I should go now. I have to tutoring today." Hinata nodded. "Good luck

Sakura-chan." Sakura crossed her fingers and left down the hallway.

Sasuke and guys including Kiba, Lee, and Gaara were in the Boy's Lounge talking. "Kiba, can you tell your dog to stop humping my leg?!" Gaara growled. Kiba whistled and Akamaru stopped. "Is there something wrong with your dog lately, Kiba?" Naruto asked. "I don't know, lately he has been doing that. I think he's lonely." "You should get him a girlfriend." Shikamaru suggested. "Ah yes! That would be so

youthful to get girlfriend for your dog." Lee said. Naruto rolled his eyes. "Can you stop with all 'youthful'

stuff, bushy-brows?" Lee shook his head. "Gai-sensei says everything in life is so youthful. Especially love. Like my beautiful flower Sakura-san!" Gaara glared at Lee. "Don't talk about my sister like that." Lee

pumped his fist in the air. "Never! Sakura-san is the most beautiful girl in the world and I shall win her heart!" Gaara clenched fists. "Sakura is off limits to you!" he said through gritted teeth. "Hey isn't Sakura-

chan that pink haired girl? She's major hot!" Gaara nearly exploded. "You guys talk about my sister like that one more time you'll never see the light of day again!" Lee and Kiba shut up. Gaara was really scary.

When Gaara sat down Sasuke turned his attention to him. "Hey Haruno, did you know that Sakura works at the local club downtown?" "What?! How do you know?" "I saw her there." Gaara was really red and ran

out of the room to find his sister. Naruto was hiding behind the couch but then he popped his head out. "Boy, Gaara sure is scary when it comes to boys and Sakura." He shuddered. Sasuke laid his head back.

"He doesn't scare me." Naruto sat beside him. "That's because he hasn't beaten you up yet." "Like he could." Kiba and Lee got up from the couch. "I'm going to find Sakura-san and confess my love for her!"

Lee said waltzing out. Kiba clenched his fist. "Not before I do! Right Akamaru?" "Bark!" Kiba and Akamaru then left. "They sure are crazy about her. Wait a second; I like Sakura-chan too! I better go and

tell her that I like her before those to freaks do." Naruto sprinted out the lounge. "Gaara's going to kill them once he finds out what they are going to do." Neji said not sounding concerned. "I know. But who cares?" Sasuke muttered.

-Monday-

"I hope I'm ready to do this." Sakura whispered before knocking on Yuki's dorm room. Traci was already there. Sakura was going to tutor the girls today and they agreed (after a few arguments) to meet in Yuki's

dorm. Sakura held a couple math, English, science, and history books in her hands. Today was going to be a long day. Yuki answered the door. "Oh, it's you." She said in disgust. Yuki let Sakura through. Traci was

sitting on the floor, legs crossed. "Shall we get started?" Sakura asked putting down the books. Yuki brushed passed her. "Whatever." Sakura held in her anger. Calm down Sakura; don't let her get to you.

Sakura sat on the floor while Yuki went on her bed. "What subject should we begin?" Yuki didn't answer. Traci was thinking. "How about History?" Sakura nodded and got the history book out. "Let's begin." Then

a phone rang. Yuki got off her bed and took out her cell. "Hello? Hi mom. About my party I want to make the arrangements now. I want lots of presents and…" While kept on yapping about her party Traci was

busy looking out the window thinking about her boyfriend. "Guys, we should start the tutoring." Sakura tried interrupting them. They weren't listening. Then Sakura felt something in her stomach. She felt her

breakfast coming up. Sakura grabbed her keys and dashed out the door hoping to get to the bathroom. She didn't make it. She puked on the floor. Then when she felt done Sakura blacked out on the floor.

Sakura fluttered her eyes open. Her head hurt but not as much. She could tell from the room that she was in the nurse's office. "I'm so happy that you're all right Sakura!" A voice said. Sakura turned her head and

saw Oshi. "Hey Oshi, what am I doing here?" Oshi got up from his seat and went to Sakura's side. "I found you in the middle of the hallway. You fainted and you were next to a pile of puke. So I took you to the

nurse. She said there is nothing wrong with you. It's just the side effect from your operation." Sakura sat up even though the pain made her wince. "Thanks. Lately I've been puking and feeling sick. Nothing serious."

Oshi was blushing looking at Sakura's beautiful face. He wanted to tell her about his feelings but he didn't think now was a good time. "You should get some rest." Oshi waved good-bye and left Sakura in the

nurse's office. I should tell Sakura sooner or later. I just have to. Sakura got out of the bed. "I should go to my dorm and wait for tomorrow to tutor those clueless freaks."

-Wednesday-

"So anyways, my mom says that she can't get me an ice sculpture of me for my party. She is so selfish!" Yuki complained. Traci was listening in interest. Sakura was banging her head on the table. I'm here to

tutor! Not to listen to some girl's stupid story! "Haruno, stop banging your head on my a thousand dollar table." Yuki said. Sakura stopped but got eve more annoyed. "You know, we should really start learning."

She said. Yuki rolled her eyes and sighed. "Fine." She sat on the floor and grabbed a math book. "I can't understand this! What's with all these numbers?" Sakura slapped her forehead. "It's a math book, dumb-

ass!" Yuki glared at Sakura. "Will you shut up? I didn't know." Traci was silent. Yuki was getting bored so she pulled out a fashion magazine. Traci was daydreaming. Sakura got really irritating so she left the room

again. They are so impossible! I should've never agreed to this!

-Friday-

"So where is Mexico again?" Traci asked Sakura. "For the last time. Mexico is right there!" Sakura yelled pointing to Mexico on the world map. "What's 81 x 3 again?" Yuki asked. "243" Yuki wrote the answer

down. Sakura sighed. All they have been doing was easy stuff when they should be practicing advanced subjects. For crying out loud Traci didn't know where Mexico was! "Did you see what Sasuke-kun wore

today? He was so hot in that outfit!" Yuki said. Traci nodded her head. Not again with Sasuke! "Um Traci? Yuki? Maybe we should start doing advanced stuff." Sakura suggested. Yuki stared at her. "Are you crazy?

I'm not ready for that stuff yet." "Ditto." Traci agreed. "But the exams are on Monday morning. And all you guys know is the basics. We only have two more days." "I don't care. I'm still not ready." Yuki

argued. Sakura was getting mad again. "I don't care if you are pretty Yuki but you should start listening to me!" Yuki stood up. "You're just jealous that I'm prettier than you and Sasuke-kun likes me and not you!

Face it, you're juts plain ugly." Sakura felt tears come to her eyes. "I'm not ugly." Yuki put her hands on her hips. "Calling me a liar? You have the world's biggest forehead, gross pink hair, pale skin, and ugly

green eyes. I bet all the friends you've made here are just pretending to be nice to you 'cause they pity you." "That's not true!" "How would you know?" The tears spilled out. "That's it! I quit being your tutor. I

should've just said no!" Sakura grabbed her backpack and left the dorm. "Crybaby." She overheard Yuki. Sakura kept on running passing by Sasuke and his new girlfriend. Sasuke saw Sakura rushing by but didn't

miss the tears. "Sakura!" But she kept on running. Sasuke wanted to follow her but Sakura ran straight into the girl's bathroom. "I'm such an idiot! Why did I cry in front of them?" Sakura asked herself while she

wiped away her tears. She grabbed her backpack and stared in the mirror. Her eyes weren't red nor puffy which was good. That way her friends wouldn't think she was crying. But what about Sasuke? I will just

make up and excuse. That'll work. Sakura walked out of the bathroom but only to bump into to Sasuke. "Sakura, what happened? Why were you crying?" He asked. Sakura thought for a moment. "I was watching

a sad movie…and I cried. So I went to the bathroom." "Why did you run?" He asked another. "I didn't want anybody to see me crying over a movie." Sasuke nodded. "I'm gonna go to my dorm. I need to get

some sleep." Sakura stated. She walked off not looking back.

-Sunday Night-

"Hinata, you were right. Tutoring those girls was a big mistake!" Sakura yelled to her roommate. Hinata was on her bed nodding her head. It was two days later since Sakura had the huge fight with the girls.

Sakura avoided them as possible to not get in a fight. It has been successful so far. "It's ok Sakura-chan; it's a good thing you quit." Sakura sat down on her bed. "If it's a good thing, why am I feeling guilty? Is it

probably because if they fail it's going to be my fault?" Hinata didn't know what to say. "Hinata, I think I should go help them." "What? Have you lost it? It's 11:00 pm, how would you help them? We're not

allowed to leave our dorm at this hour." Sakura smirked. "Relax, I got it all covered."

Knock. Knock. Sakura was in front of Yuki's dorm again. The door opened and Yuki didn't look like she has had any sleep. "What do you want?" She spat out. Sakura gulped but took a deep breath. "Look, I told

Tsunade I was going to tutor you. I'm not going to let you guys fail because of me." Yuki's glared turned into a solemn look. "Why would you want to help after I said all those mean things to you?" Sakura

smiled. "It's called 'forgive and forget'. Besides, I don't want to make you suffer." Yuki smiled. "Thanks." Sakura nodded and entered Yuki's dorm. "Call up Traci and tell her to come to your dorm. We're going to

study extra hard." Yuki grabbed her phone and called Traci. Not long after Sakura, Traci, and Yuki were studying all night long.

-Monday Morning-

"I'm so tired." Sakura stated before putting her head on her desk. It was Monday morning and today was the day for the exams. "You must've been tutoring all night, huh?" Hinata asked. Sakura was asleep so she

didn't answer. "That would be a yes." Kakashi sensei then came in. "Good morning class, I hope you're ready for the exams today." The whole class groaned. "That's good. You will have and hour to complete

this test. No noise." Kakashi passed out the packets. "You may begin." The class grabbed their pencils and began writing. Sasuke was having a hard time. These questions are really hard. I only know half of them!

He looked over at Naruto and saw that he was panicking a lot. Sasuke smirked. He then looked at Sakura and was amazed at what he saw. Sakura had her eyes closed and yet she was writing down all the correct

answers for the test. Every now and then she opened her eyes to check her answers. She would nod and close them again writing down more answers. Sakura sure was ready for this test. Hard to believe it.

"That test was so hard!" Naruto said. "But I finally figured them after a few minutes. The exams were over and now the whole gang was outside talking it except for Sakura who was sleeping Gaara's shoulder.

"Sakura, wake up." Ino said. Sakura opened her eyes and groaned. "What is it, Ino?" She rubbed her eyes. "What did you think of the test?" Ino asked. Sakura yawned. "Boring. That was the most easiest test in the

world. I felt like I was in kindergarten." Tenten twitched. "You've got to be kidding me. That was extremely difficult! How could you say that it was easy?" Sakura just shrugged. "Hey Sak, look at what the

devil dropped in." Neji said. Sakura turned around and saw Traci and Yuki behind her. "Hi girls, is there something wrong?" Yuki smiled brightly. "I passed the test! I got an A! Thanks for your help Sakura!"

Sakura was then tackled into a hug. "Your welcome Yuki." Yuki let go of her and it Traci's turn. "Thanks too." Sakura smiled. She has never seen these nice sides. Yuki pulled out a card and handed it to Sakura.

"Here, you are invited to my birthday party. It's my way of saying thanks for helping me. You deserve it." Sakura took it and hugged Yuki. "Thanks. Anytime you need help in school just come and tell me." The

girls hugged and then Traci and Yuki left. "What was that about?" Sasuke asked. Sakura just looked at him and smiled. "Nothing really. Just a friend helping out a friend." A really good friend.
