Well, enjoy it! And a MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL!

Crushes Between Friends-

Chapter 14 - Mishaps in the Lunchroom

Just like old times. Sasuke and Sakura spent practically the whole weekend together. Catching up, hanging out, and doing what best friends do best. Don't get me wrong, part of the weekend they spent time with the rest of the gang, and Temari, but just not as much. I don't know about them, but I'd get pretty annoyed of some of my friends if I spent the whole weekend with them. (No offense guys.) Back to the point. Sakura and Sasuke were surprisingly not sick of each other though. Of course what do you expect, Sakura was being a fricken idiot for like a whole 2 months while Sasuke was basically trying to save her. But did she listen? NOOOO!! Anyways, got kind of off track again, they had a good time.

All was well on Monday until Sakura got notice from her secret admirer again.

I TOLD YOU SO: KEITH URBAN

You said you needed your space
I wasn't where you wanted to be
I didn't stand in your way
I only want you to be happy
And so surprised am I to see you here tonight

Well, can't you see that for worse or for better
We're better together
Please, just come back home
And don't say that you're sorry
And I won't say I told you so

Sometimes in our lives
We get to where we wonder if
The long road that we're onIs heading in the same direction
When it comes to you and me
We're right where I know we should be

Oh, can't you see that for worse or for better
We're better together
Please, just come back home
And don't say that you're sorry
And I won't say I told you so

Sometimes it's like we're deep in nothing but love
And the slightest thing can grow so foolishly
Please

Oh, can't you see that for worse or for better
We're better together
Please, just come back home
And don't say that you're sorry
And I won't say I told you so
But I told you so
Should have known better
Than to leave me, baby
Should have known better
Than to leave me, darling

That'S the song she left fo her. It kind of creeped her out to tell ya the truth. What it was about, she had no idea. She didn't have the faintest idea of why he gave her that song. But besides that, the day was good.

Well, it was good until that happened. It was during lunch. The gang was eating like usual, everybody there. Except Ino.

Sakura had barely seen her all dya. Each time Sakura got close to her Ino would turn and walk the other way.

Well, she didn finally see her. But she wished she hadn't.

Sakura had been talking to Temari for the whole lunch period. Doing some catch-up talking, seeing what had changed over the past 10 years, a lot by the fact. It had suddenly gotten quieter in the lunch room. Sakura turned begind her to see what everyone was looking at.

Ino was standing on one of the dark indigo tables 3 away from where Sakura was sitting.

'Hey, what's ino doing up there?' Sakura thought.

The first words that flowed from Ino's mouth were as follows:

"Who here has noticed Haruno, Sakura's newly gained weight?"

Sakura was astounded why, Ino her best friend of people. Was asking this. What was the point of this going to be? Sakura looked around to see if anybody had actually raised their hands. All of Sasuke's fangirls and get this, Sai and his friends. Sakura turned back to Ino. She had continued.

"Well, if you've been wondering where it all came from it wasn't from her eating habits, which are very piggy by the way." INo paused for a moment. Before continuing, One of Sai's friends asked a question.

"So if it isn't from her being a natural pig, then what?"

Ino replied:

"Ah, I was hoping someone would ask that. Well, since I don't want to spoil his fun, I'll let him tell all of you himself."

Sai stood up and started walking towards Ino, joining her on top of the lunch table. Everyone's attention was on the two standing.

"I banged Haruno, Sakura!" Sai shouted.

Sakura wasn't sure if anyone actually believed this, but when it was said there were gasps and students started whispering and pointing over at Sakura. Sakura, all the shile was glaring at Ino and Sai. Ino gave her a malicious smirk. Sakura jumped up and started to make her way towards Sai and Ino. They had gotten down off the table and both were laughing. When Sakura had reached them she tried to hurt them in some way, but luckily Temari and Sasuke had followed her and held her back. Sakura tried really hare to break free but couldn't.

"Aw. Is wittle Sakura mad?" Ino asked tilting her head to the left.

Sakura just glared.

"Ugh. You aren't going to cry are you?"

Sakura continued glaring. Ino just looked back at her with the same glare. Then Sakura finally spoke.

"What the freakin gell was that about!?"

Ino continued to smile.

"Oh, that little thing? Well ya see. I want something you're in the way," Ino moved close to Sakura's face, and Sakura kept a straight face, "so I'm taking you down."

Sakura glared and started struggling again. She finally broke loose, but she didn't go attacking Ino or Sai. Ino had backed up thinking she had wan. But Sakura got in Ino's face this time.

"Yeah? Well, you'd better be watching your back then. Because if I'm going down, I'll be taking you with me."

Sakura had jabbed Ino in the shoulder. Then she walked off. Sakura hadn't really talked with anyone during the rest of the school day. Sasuke had decided to wait until their ride home to talk to her about lunch.

"So what do you think Ino wants so badly?" Sasuke asked right off the bat.

"Isn't it obvious?" Sakura asked.

Sasuke looked questioningly over at her.

"It's you."

A:N/ Well, did you like it? I found it very fun to type. Very dramatic. But who cares what I think, I want to know what my reviewers think!! So there's only one way to do that. You've got to press that little button right over there that says 'review' on it. Thanx bunches!! Keep those reviews coming!!

IMPORTANT!!

I WASN'T ABLE TO PUT THE PICTURES INTO MY PROFILE. I'LL KEEP TRYING THOUGH, AND IF I DO GET IT TO WORK, THEN I'LL LET YOU ALL KNOW.
