Sakura was sitting near her window watching the rain fall from outside. It was the weekend and she decided to spend her weekend back at her house. Sakura's eyes were red from crying. She couldn't believe
what had happened the other day with Sasuke. She hugged her pillow tighter. I'm so confused. Things were getting complicated for her. Sakura touched her lips. That kiss.
-Flashback-
Sasuke pulled away from Sakura who was blushing. She stood frozen in her place. She didn't know what to say. Was she supposed to slap him? Kiss him again? Or run away. Sakura chose to run. She pushed Sasuke
away from her and ran out of Panera Bread. Sasuke stood there. He was hurt that Sakura just ran away like that.
Sakura was running back to the school. She was really confused. Why did kiss me? Does he love me? No, it can't be. Sasuke's a playboy. He's probably going to come and tell me that it was just a mistake and break
my heart. Sakura thought. Sakura finally reached the school. She went through the doors and ran to her dorm ignoring everybody in her way. Sakura closed the door behind her. She slumped down to the floor
crying her face in her hands. "Why? Why did Sasuke kiss me? Does he want to break my heart like he does to every other girl?" Sakura stood up and sat on her bed. "I need to talk to someone." Sakura could've
asked her mom. But then again her mother didn't really understand boy trouble. Since Sonomi would always get rejected by men. The door opened. It was only Hinata, Tenten, and Ino. "Sakura-chan! What
happened to you?" Hinata asked rushing to Sakura's aid. Tenten and Ino also ran to her. "What happened Forehead?" Ino asked. Sakura told them the whole story. "That's great Sakura! That must mean Sasuke
likes you!" Tenten exclaimed. "No!" Sakura yelled. "It's not great! Don't you get it? Sasuke's a playboy and just because he kissed doesn't mean he likes me. He'll probably then break my heart! Why do you think
Gaara is always protecting me?" Ino put her arm around Sakura's shoulder. "Sorry, I didn't know you would feel that way. If you need someone to talk to, come to us. We'll help you." Tenten and Hinata nodded
and they all hugged Sakura.
-End Flashback-
There was knock at Sakura's door. "Come in." The door opened and in came Temari holding a plate of cookies. "Hey Sakura, I'm just bringing you up a snack incase you were hungry" "Thanks, just put it on the
table." Temari took the plate to the table. The she sat down next to Sakura. "Listen, Sakura. I heard about what happened back at your school. Care to tell me what's bothering you?" Sakura nodded. "Well, it's
complicated. Sasuke is a playboy so I know he kisses girls and then breaks their hearts. But then he kisses me and I don't know if it's love or just lust. And…I think I'm developing feelings for him also. It's all so
confusing!" Temari hugged her sister. "It's ok. I'm sure you'll find out. But for now forget about him and move on. You still have time." Sakura realized Temari was right. All she had to do was forget about Sasuke
for a while and move on. It's not the end of the world. "Your right Temari. I shouldn't let one kiss ruin my life! I should just forget about it and go on with my life." Temari smiled. "Good girl. Now I'm going
downstairs. Kankuro is probably going to change the channel on the television." Temari left downstairs. Sakura looked back out the window and smiled. One kiss. It didn't mean anything…I hope. Sakura got up
from her window seat and went downstairs. She passed the living room and entered the kitchen. Sakura walked to the back door and went outside. It was still raining but she didn't care. (A/N: in this scene Sakura
will be the one singing) Sakura walked along the porch.
How
did I get here, I turned around
And there you were
I didn't
think twice or rationalize
Cause somehow I knew
That there was
more than just chemistry
I mean I knew you were kind of into
me
But I figured it's too
Good to be true
I said pinch me
where's the catch this time
Can't find a single cloud in the
sky
Help me before I get used to this guy
They say that
good things take time
But really great things happen in the blink
of an eye
Thought the chances to meet somebody like you were a
million to one
I can't believe it, (whoa oh)
You're one in a
million
All this time I was looking for love
Trying to make
things work
They weren't good enough
Till I thought I'm
through
Said I'm done
Then stumbled into the arms of the
one
You're making me laugh about the silliest stuff
Say
that I'm your diamond in the rough
When I'm mad at you
You come
with your velvet touch
Can't believe that I'm so lucky
I have
never felt so happy
Every time I see that sparkle in your
eyes
They say that good things take time (whooooo)
But
really great things happen in the blink of an eye
Thought the
chances to meet somebody like you were a million to one
I can't
believe it, (oh whoa)
You're one in a million, (yea yea)
All
this time I was looking for love
Trying to make things work

Sakura was soaking wet from all the rain. She loved the way the rain pelted onto her skin. Sakura took a deep breath. Is Sasuke really the one?

Back to School. Those words didn't leave Sakura's head. The last thing she wanted was going back to school and face Sasuke again. But the image of Gaara getting really mad at Sasuke for stealing her first
kiss. That made her laugh a lot. Sonomi dropped Sakura off at her school. "Bye Honey! Have a good week!" Sakura thanked her and walked back to her school. But the moment she walked in she heard
murmurs and whispers about something. The girls stared at Sakura and glared at her. Did I do something wrong? Sakura looked ahead of her and saw a huge amount of students crowding around the bulletin board.
Oh no! Don't tell me… Sakura pushed her way through and saw a paper. It was a picture of her and Sasuke back at Panera where they kissed. She saw the headline above:
Sasuke's New Whore
The girls were laughing at Sakura and pointing at her. "There's Sasuke's new whore! I can't believe he chose her. She's so ugly!" A girl yelled. Sakura knew the tears would come out any minute. Sasuke passed
by and saw Sakura. He was about to keep walking when he saw the paper. He heard the girls bullying Sakura. It got him mad. Sasuke pushed his way threw and got in front of Sakura. "Leave her alone you
sluts!" The girls were silent and then they left without another word. Sasuke turned back to Sakura but only to find her gone. He saw her leaving down the hallways. "Sakura wait up!" But she just ignored him.
"Sakura." Sasuke grabbed her wrist. "Why are you ignoring me?" He asked. Sakura turned to face him. "Can you just leave me alone Sasuke? I don't feel like talking to you." She said harshly. Sasuke was taken
back. Sakura had never talked to him like that before. "Sakura, about the kiss…" Sakura pushed him away from her. "Don't talk about it. Just let it go but leave me alone." Sakura then walked away. Sasuke got mad.
It was his entire fault.
Sakura wanted to get back to class but she felt pain in her heart. She was having trouble breathing again. Not again! Sakura ran to Tsunade's office. "Tsunade-sama! My heart! It hurts!" Sakura yelled. Tsunade
got out of her chair ran to Sakura. "Do you feel ok?" She asked. Sakura was about to answer if it weren't for the blood already coming out of her mouth. Sakura collapsed couching on the ground. "Sakura! Hang
on!" Tsunade ran to the phone and called 911. Sakura shut her eyes excruciating the pain. Why Sasuke? If you hadn't kissed me then I wouldn't be like this. Sakura then blacked out again. The last she heard was her name.
8080808080808080808080808080880808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080880808080
-In Class-
"Where could Sakura-chan be?" Hinata asked recalling not seeing her friend at all. "Did any of you guys see her before class started?" Shikamaru asked. They all shook their head except for Sasuke who was still
recovering from shock. "Well she if she isn't here, where else could she be?" Ino asked. No one answered. Kakashi then entered the class. "Kakashi sensei, why are you here? Don't you advance math in the other
room?" Naruto asked. Kakashi looked up from his book. "Actually I got moved to this room. Someone else is teaching that class. Sorry I was late; I had some business to do with Tsunade." "Liar!" Naruto yelled.
Kakashi sighed. "I'm telling the truth. Tsunade needed to talk to me about something. Now let's get started." Kakashi knew about what happened to Sakura but he didn't want to worry anyone. From the
window he could the ambulance coming. "Hey there's an ambulance outside! I wonder what happened." Tenten exclaimed. The class talked about the ambulance. Gaara was getting a bad feeling again. Sakura.
This is entirely the fault of Uchiha. Gaara heard about what happened between Sasuke and Sakura at Panera Bread and he wasn't too happy about. But he had to deal with the Uchiha later. Tsunade came into the
room. "May I please speak to Gaara Haruno?" She asked. Gaara nodded and went with Tsunade to her office. Tsunade was frowning. "Gaara, I am here to inform you that Sakura fainted in my office this
morning. She was taken to the hospital right now. It was nothing serious; just too much stress." Gaara jumped out of his chair. "Will she be ok? I need to go to the hospital and see her!" He walked to the door.
"Gaara sit down! I'll take you to the hospital myself right now!" Tsunade got up from her seat and grabbed her keys. "Are you coming or not?" She asked. Gaara nodded and followed her to the car. Tsunade got
there in a flash due to her 'Deadly Driving'. Tsunade and Gaara dashed through the doors and found Sakura's room. She was sitting on a bed while a doctor was giving her a shot. "Sakura!" Gaara yelled
rushing to her sister. "Are you ok? Do you feel tired? Was it because of the Uchiha? Are you scared?" Tears poured out of Sakura's eyes and then she hugged her brother. "It was horrible! Everybody in school
think I'm Sasuke's new whore because he kissed me! And now I don't know if Sasuke still should be my friend! What should I do?" Sakura asked. Gaara wiped her tears and looked at her in the eye. "I'm going to
talk to the Uchiha and then I'm going to hurt whoever put those papers about you and the Uchiha. But I think you should avoid that guy for a while to not get involved in anything. Who knows what could happen
if you hang out with that guy. Do you understand me Sakura?" She nodded. "Good." They hugged for a few minutes until Sakura fell asleep in Gaara's arms. Gaara turned to Tsunade. "I'm going to call my mom
and Sakura can stay with her for the rest of the week just to rest." Tsunade nodded. She passed him the phone and Gaara called up his mom. Sonomi arrived a few hours later and took Sakura back home. "Poor
girl. I just wish none of this happened." Sonomi said laying down Sakura in the back seat. "I'll see you later Gaara." Sonomi bid her good-bye and took off. Gaara clenched his fists. Time to have a talk with Uchiha!
8080808080808080808080808080880808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080880808080
-Back at School-
"Where do you think Gaara could've gone?" Neji asked. Class was over a few hours ago and Gaara was still missing. "Hn." Naruto glared at Sasuke. "You know what Teme! I can't believe you kissed Sakura.
And now you're acting as if it wasn't a big thing! The whole school thinks Sakura is your new whore!" "Hn." Naruto glared at him one more time and then he stormed off. "Naruto has a point Sasuke. It is a big
thing. Why did you kiss her in the first place?" Shikamaru asked. Sasuke ignore them. Neji faced Sasuke. "I don't even know why we're bothering to talk to you Sasuke! Don't you care about Sakura's feelings? Or
are you too blind to see it? Let's go Shikamaru." Neji and Shikamaru also left. Sasuke still didn't care. But deep down he felt a lot of guilt. He was going to follow them but a fist met his face sending him flying to
the wall. Sasuke got up and dusted the dirt off his clothes. "What the hell?!" His cheek was really red from the impact. He looked in front of him. Sai and Gaara were in front of him glaring murderously at him.
"You. Are. Going. To. Pay. Uchiha." Gaara said through clenched teeth. Sai was the one who punched Sasuke. "You made Sakura's life a living hell and now we're going to make yours too." Sai said. Sasuke
glared at them. "So this is about Sakura." Sasuke stuffed his hands in his pockets. "You guys don' scare me." Gaara clenched his fist and ran towards the raven-haired teen. He punched him hard. Sasuke still
stood in his place. But he still felt the pain on his face. Sasuke got mad and started punching and kicking Gaara. Sai stepped in and helped Gaara out. The whole battle was really bad. Luckily nobody saw this. Not
even the teachers. The boys were tired and knew if they got at least one more hit it was all over. Sai was too tired and collapsed to the floor to rest. Sasuke and Gaara stood up and both raised their first. "You're
done." They said unison and they charged at each other. "Stop!" A girl yelled. Sasuke and Gaara stopped and looked at the direction from where the voice came from. Sakura was standing beside them with a frown
on her face. "What do you guys think you're doing?" She asked. "Sakura, stay out of this!" Gaara yelled. Sakura didn't leave her spot. "No. I leave for a few hours and you are already trying to kill each other?
Look at Sai!" Sakura turned her head to Sai. He was on floor still panting. He was covered in cuts but other than that he was fine. Sakura helped him up. "I thought you were supposed to be with mom." Gaara said. "I
was. But I wanted to stay in school. Don't worry about me Gaara. I'll be fine. Come with me, I'll help you with your injuries." Sakura helped Sai to the infirmary. Gaara followed. Sasuke stood there. Sakura didn't give a crap about him. She completely ignored him.
8080808080808080808080808080880808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080880808080
"Ow! Sakura be careful!" Sai yelled in pain. "Well then hold still." Sakura was treating Sai. Gaara was sitting on the bed putting an ice pack on his eye. "That Uchiha is going to deal with me later." Gaara said.
Sakura rolled her eyes. "You won't just quit will you? Leave that guy alone. He isn't worth it." Sai lightly touched his cheek. "That Sasuke can sure hit hard." He said. Sakura giggled. "That just comes to show that
you need to start working out."
-"I do work out."
-"Apparently not enough." Sai glared at her but then he laughed too. Gaara stared at them. "You guys aren't a couple. Are you?" He asked. Sai stopped laughing and shook his head. "Of course not, Sakura's
juts my best friend. My only friend so far." He ruffled Sakura's head. "Hey!" They hugged each other. Gaara smiled. That's what I call real friendship. Sakura was having fun but deep down she felt pain.
Sasuke was such a good friend of her s and now because of one kiss it changes everything.
8080808080808080808080808080880808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080880808080
The next few days Sakura avoided Sasuke or just plainly ignored him by not speaking to him or not making eye contact. Her friends also noticed this and they helped her. If Sasuke would come into a room the same
as Sakura without her knowing then they would warn her. Naruto mainly helped her. He was really mad at Sasuke. It was like the friendship they shared for years (an awkward friendship) has disappeared. Sasuke
tried to talk to Sakura but would only fail. Things were definitely getting out of hand. Gaara didn't talk to Sasuke but every now and then they would hit each other and then not talk. Sai and Sakura were really
close. Not like a relationship but friendship. They worked hard on Tango. Sakura kept her mind focused on school, Tango, and her friends. Sakura decided to not do the piano program because of Tango. It would
make her schedule tight and very busy. Things were really changing within a month. Sasuke was really miserable without his friends so he spent a lot of his time being the playboy Sakura knew he was. He dated
more girls and made-out with them a lot. But none of those girls were compared to the kiss Sasuke gave Sakura. Bu he couldn't have her anymore. It was all broken. Sasuke's old friends got angry at him for
dating all those girls except for Sakura. She knew that was the way things were supposed to be. Being the school's genius girl. And the hot guy not paying attention to her. That was the way things were supposed to
be. At least that's what Sakura thinks…
