Crushes Between Friends-

Chapter 7 - Fighting and Dating

—WEDNESDAY—

"Okay class, we will be starting a new assignment today! It'll be due on Friday." Sasuke, Sakura, and Sai were all in history together. They had Kakashi.

"I will assign three people to a team. I will also assign you the subject you will be studying."

Groans could be heard throughout all the classroom.

"Team 1, Akinay, Chon, and Tiro." He went on, and eventually got to team 7. "And lastly, team 7. Sasuke, Sakura, and Sai. You'll be studying the ANBU. I'll let everyone get a head start."

Kakashi shut up, and started reading his porno book.

"Okay, so." Sakura started. Things were still pretty awkward between her and Sasuke. They didn't talk the whole ride to school.

"Why don't we meet up at your house Sai?" Sakura asked.

"No. We still have a lot of junk around. How about your's Sakura?"

"I don't-"

"We can meet at my place." Sasuke said.

'There's no way that perv is entering Sakura's house.'

"Okay. Fine by me!" Sai said. "Where do you live?"

"703 W. Crawford Ave." Sasuke said right when the bell rang.

Everyone grabbed their stuff. Sasuke walked out of the room and waited for Sakura to come out.

'When will I tell her?'

Sakura was about to leave when someone grabbed her arm.

"Sai?" She asked.

"Hey, Sakura?"

"Yeah?"

"What are you doing Friday?"

"Um... n-nothing.

"Good. I was thinking that we could catch a movie or something."

"Yeah. S-sure. What movie?"

"I don't know. You can choose."

"Okay. I'll think about it." She said, smiling and walking out of the room.

Sai smiled brightly and did a small little victory dance.

Sasuke was still waiting for Sakura when she came out.

"What took so long?" He asked.

"Oh. Um... S-sai asked me out on a date for Friday." she said blushing and smiling while biting her lip.

"Oh. T-that's good." He said. Though he hated the idea of them even being in the same room.

"Yeah. I'm totally psyched!" She squealed. Sasuke just gave a small smile.

'Arg! A date? Why would she want to go on a date with him?'

For the rest of the day Sakura couldn't stop thinking about Friday. Sasuke was busy coming up with ideas to kill Sai. All of them not torturing, or cruel enough.

AFTER SCHOOL: SASUKE'S HOUSE-

"Okay, so, what should we look up first?"Sai asked.

"Um... probably where the ANBU came from." Sakura replied.

"Good idea. Do you know how sexy you are when you're smart?" Sai said giving her a charming smile.

"Um..." Sakura blushed maddly. Sasuke rolled his eyes.

"Can we just get started on this project?"

"Yeah." Sakura said, going over to sit next to Sasuke. Sai sat down next to her.

Sasuke went to and so started their research. Sakura took notes, Sasuke looked it up on the net, and Sai, well he just watched Sakura.

"Are you even going to do any work?" Sasuke asked.

"I am."

"Yeah? Like what?" Sasuke retorted.

"I'm taking mental notes for my date on Friday."

"Pft. Whatever."

They had been working for an hour now, and had most of the information.

"I think that's good enough for today." Sakura said.

"Yeah." Sasuke agreed, turning off his lap top.

"Hey, Sakura, do you need a ride home?"

"No. I live right next door."

"O-oh. Well at least now I know where to pick you up on Friday."

"Yep!" Sakura said smiling and giggling.

"Well, I'll be going now." Sai said. He gave Sakura a light kiss on the cheek and left the house.

Sakura was blushing maddly.

"Are you seriously going out with him?" Sasuke asked.

"What is it to you?" sakura asked.

"You're my friend, and this guy is bad news."

"What? You're crazy." Sakura said, walking out of the room. Sasuke got up and followed her.

"He's playing you. All you're going to get from this guy is a broken heart."

"He wouldn't do that. Besides, who are you to control my life!?" Sakura was starting to get mad now.

"He's using you. That's all I'm saying."

"Yeah?"

"Yeah!"

Sakura started crying.

"Well, if you didn't want me to go out with him, then maybe you should have asked first!" sakura opened the front door and before she walked out she had one last thing to say to him.

"Oh, by the way, don't bother taking me to school tomorrow." She walked out without shutting the door.

After she left Sasuke slammed the door, went up to his room, slammed his door and started pounding his wall.

That night, Sakura cried herself to sleep.

A:N/ OMG! They had a fight!! I didn't know that was going to happen, okay so maybe I did. Did you like it? Well I hope you did. Well it's late here, so until tomorrow!

R&R!!
