Crushes Between Friends

Chapter 2 - Senior Year Here We Come!

FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL-

"Sakura! Wake up! First day of school!"

Sakura stirred in her sleep.

SAKURA'S DREAM-

Sakura looked at the person beside her. How content he looked.

He felt someone looking at him, so he turned to his right to where he saw the woman standing next to him. They stared at each other intently. Then he put his hand under her chin, lifting it up. They both leaned in deepening the kiss. The unknown guy bit Sakura's lower lip asking for entrance. After thinking over it Sakura allowed him to. He explored the undiscovered area, swerving his tongue around inside her mouth.

They finally broke the kiss, both gasping for air.

Then-

"SAKURA! WAKE UP!"

END DREAM

Sakura jolted up, since her mom sort of scared her to death.

"Mom! Don't do that! You scared the heck out of me!"

"Sorry. You slept threw your alarm and Sasuke is already waiting for you down stairs."

"CRAP!"

Sakura grabbed a clean uniform and took a 5 minute shower and quickly put on her uniform. It consisted of a black mini skirt, a black jacket with a white under shirt. They also had to wear red ties, and black shoes. She ran back to her room and grabbed her shoes, and put them quickly, jumping all around. She ran down the stairs so fast she almost tripped.

"Come on! Let's go!" Sakura said as she ran past Sasuke and out the door.

Sasuke just stood there dumb struck. Then Mrs. Haruno came down the stairs holding a school and a purse.

"Sasuke, can you give these to Sakura?"

"Yeah."

"Thanks. Have fun at school."

"Bye, Mrs. Haruno."

Sasuke walked out the door and found Sakura sleeping in the car. Everytime her head fell forward she'd jerk back up, but she stayed asleep.

Sasuke climbed in and slammed the door really hard to see if that would wake her up. It didn't. So sasuke honked the horn and She jolted straight up.

"I wasn't sleeping!"

Sasuke started smirking and threw her two bags at her.

"Here, you might need these."

"Oh, yeah."

Sasuke started pulling car out of the drive way and drove away to school.

"If we3're late, you know it's all your fault."

"My fault? How could it be my fault?"

"You're the one who slept in!"

"Yeah, well. Your face!"

"Is gorgeous, I already know." Sasuke said smiling.

But all that got him was a smack on the side of the head.

"What was that for?" Sasuke asked rubbing his head.

" For being an arrogant jerk.

"We both know that you don't mean that."

Yeah, and what if I do?"

"Then, I won't be you're friend anymore."

"But then, you'll being breaking a promise you made to me. Plus, you couldn't even live without me."

"What? You're the one that couldn't live without me."

"Who had his arm wrapped around me the other night."

"I thought we agreed that didn't happen?" Sasuke asked slightly blushing.

"I was lying." Sakura said seeing the blush.

They soon arrived at the school, everyone was waiting at their usual meeting spot in fromt of the school on the court yard.

"Hey teme. Did you have a good time at the sleep over?" Naruto said lifting his eyebrows up and down.

"You really need to know how to shut up." Sasuke said.

" Aww. Teme. I didn't know you were so sensitive when it came to that subject." Naruto said earning a hit across the head.

The group of eight walked into the school. Sakura, Sasuke, Tenten, and Naruto all had 1st period together.

Sakura had to go to her locker first though, so she told them to meet her there. After she dropped some things off she was walking back when she bumped into someone causing her to drop the stuff she was holding.

"I'm sorry." Sakura said as she bent down to pick up her things. She was about to pick up a book but anther hand grabbed it first. She looked up to be met by brown eyes. The gut had sort of longish brown hair. She thought he looked pretty hot.

"It's okay." He said.

Thanks." Sakura took the bok he was holding out for her and put it in her bag.

"Um...my name is Sai." He said sticking out his hand.

"Hi. Sakura." She said shaking his hand.

"You a senior?" He asked.

"Yep!" She said as they both stood up.

"So, what's your first class?" He asked.

"History." Sakura said gloomily.

"Me too." He responded.

"OH! Want to walk together?" She asked.

"Sure."

So the two started walking towards the history class.

"So, Sai, are you new here? Cause I've never seen you before."

"Yeah, just this summer."

"Where from?"

"Tokyo."

"Oh." they reached the class door, and walked in, the usual, students chatting amongst them selves. Sakura spotted her friends. She started walking and signaled for Sai to follow her. So he did.

WITH THE OTHERS

"Hey, teme, how's that guy with Sakura?"

Sasuke didn't answer. He could feel the heat boiling up inside of him. Why was he feeling this way? It's not like he owned Sakura. She was just a friend to him, right?

When Sakura got there she immediately introduced them.

"Guys this is Sai-kun. He's from Tokyo.

Sasuke could feel himself tense up, and clench his fists at the 'kun' she added to the end of his name.

"Sai, this is Tenten, Sasuke, and Naruto."

She said pointing to each of them.

"Hi." He said giving a short little wave.

"Hello!" Tenten said.

"Hey!" Naruto greeted.

"Hn." Sasuke more or less grunted.

The teacher, Ibiki, walked in. Everyone quickly got seats. Sai sat in front of Sakura, Sasuke on her left, and to his left sat Naruto. On Sakura's right Tenten sat.

"Okay class today we'll be..." and so the long and boring session began.;

The day went by slowly and by lunch time everyone had been tuckered out. Since Neji, INo, Shikamaru, and HInata hadn't met Sai ye, Sakura did the intros.

"Everyone, Sai."

"Sai, Hinata, Ino, Shikamaru, and Neji." She said pointing to each one.

"Hi." he said.

Everyone greeted him. The only one that didn't seem to talk to him much was Sasuke. And he started to wonder why.

When school was finally over Sasuke drove Sakura home as usual.

"So, Sasuke, what do you think of Sai?"

"Hn."

"You aren't jealous are you?" Sakura said sort of smirking.

"Now, where would you get that idea." Sasuke said trying to hide the sarcasm.

"You hardly talked with me or him at all today."

"Just didn't have anything to talk about."

Sasuke pulled up into Sakura's drive way.

"Okay. If you say so."

"I say so."

Sakura smirked and gave Sasuke a kiss on the cheek.

"Good-night Sasuke-kun."

Sasuke just smiled. And when he saw her go inside pulled out and went to his own house.

Sasuke went inside his room. Closed and locked his door.

What had he felt back there? When Sakura kissed him. It felt so, sweet. It left him wanting her. Wanting to lock her lips with his. Wanting to hold her. Carry her. Love her.

NO! I don't love her! She's my best friend! I can't love her! Can I?

Sasuke had trouble sleeping that night. He couldn't get her out of his head. He couldn't stop thinking about her in someone elses arms. More pacifically Sai's arms. Every time he did it felt as if a knife had plunged through a heart.

His heart.

A:N/ Wow. I shocked myself. And I was even typing it! Go me! So I hope that you liked this chap. And if you hadn't figured it out yet I'm going to have SAIXSAKU couple in here.
