Chapter 12

A week passed and everybody seemed to be enjoying their semester break. Everything seemed to be in order. Shikamaru was on Hawaii for a short vacation with his dad. Ino went to New York with some of her cousins. Tenten went to her grandmother's house in Canada and Sakura 's walking perfectly again.

"Hey Sakura-chan!" Naruto shouted

"Yeah?"

"You gonna play Soccer tomorrow?"

"Yeah… with Kiba"

"Can I come?"

"Eh?" she rose an eyebrow and stared at the blonde
"You sure?"

"I ugh… I'm scared of the ball"

"And why is that?"

"I always get hit in the head… I think that's why I'm thinking slower than usual?" he scratched the back of his head

Sakura fell down laughing hard. Naruto just sweatdroped and waited for Sakura to stop laughing. About a min later the pinkett stood up

"cough, cough… err, right" she said
"sure you can come"

"Err… Thanks"

"And don't avoid the ball"

"I'll try"

"Don't try, just do what I'll say" she smiled
"well I need to go inside now, mom's waiting for these"

"Need a hand?"

"Nah… I can pretty much handle this, but thanks"

"Ok! See you tomorrow Sakura-chan!" Naruto waved goodbye to the girl

"Sure thing!" She shouted back and went inside the house

She went straight to the kitchen, where is fixing their dinner. She carefully placed the bag of eggs on the counter and took a green apron.

"Dear I can do this… you can watch the TV or something"

"I wanna help"

"Oh all right" the older woman smiled
"can you hand me the cabbage?"

"Here"

"Thank you sweetie" Mrs. Haruno smiled again and started to chop the green vegetable. Sakura stared at her mothers smiling face, she stared intently on her mother's face then on her eyes, something was not right, she was still… sad.

"Hey mom…"

"Yes honey?"

"…Do you still think about dad?"

"Of course Sakura… he's still your father"

"I know that… but… does it ever cross your mind to… you know?" Sakura looked at what her mom was doing
"Go back to him…"

It went silent for a second; all that can be heard was the knife hitting the chopping board. Sakura thought she went over board with her question.

"Sorry…"

"No honey, it's ok…" the older woman gave a sweet smile "Sometimes I still do ask myself that"

"You still love dad… don't you?"

Mrs. Haruno just smiled and kissed Sakura's head "This will be ready in 30 mins" She said and continued preparing their meal

"Ok…"

"Oh! Sasuke-kun called an hour ago"

"What did he say?"

"He said he'll pick you up on Thursday so you can get your dorm"

"Oh… thanks mom"

"Honey why don't you go date him?"

"M-mom!" Sakura blushed
"D-don't say that!"

"Oh shush, you're 17, you're beautiful, you're smart and your hair is pink but you still don't have a boyfriend"

"Mom, Sasuke's not a guy"

"You mean he's gay?"

"NO!" she sighed
"I mean he's Sasuke…"

"So?"

"Earth to mom? Uchiha Sasuke A.K.A my "Best Friend"?"

"…so"

"Mom he's my best friend… I'll never fall in love with him! That's against the rules!"

"What rules?" she raised an eyebrow

"The rules!... of… of friendship! B-between best friends! That rules!"

"You know Sakura me and your dad started as best friends"

"No offence mom… but you do know what happened right?"

"Sa-ku-ra" Mrs. Haruno said waving the knife she was holding

"Mom! Put that down!"

"Sorry sweetie" the older woman chuckled
"You know sweetie, you shouldn't compare yourself to me or to anyone"

"So what if your dad and me didn't work things out? That doesn't mean yours will be the same"

"But what if it does?"

"What id it doesn't? You might miss one of the best things in life"

"I'm just scared… I don't want to go through the same thing you did for dad"

"Honey… you should trust people, give them a chance to make their selves a part of who you are"

"A part of who I am?"

"Specially your Best Friend" Mrs. Haruno winked at her and started cooking

"Sasuke…"

That night sakura couldn't even fake her sleep. She was tossing and turning in her bed, something seemed to be bothering her.


Sakura's P.O.V

I tossed and turned over and over again. I can't seem to even get a rest from thinking about what mom said… I think she may be right…

"W-what am I thinking!?" I sat up and ruffled my hair "Sakura! What the hell are you thinking!"

Sasuke? As in UCHIHA SASUKE!? My bestfriend! How could I! I'm thinking so wrongly of him! I sighed and hugged my knees, what was I thinking? I sighed again and turned to my right where my computer was. It was in screen saver mode. Pictures of Ino and the others were flashing on my screen. Then a picture of Sasuke and me flashed, he had his hair cut on the picture, he was looking annoyed as usual and I was laughing at him.

"Sasuke…" I said and took interest on my feet
"My best… friend…My lo…

My eyes widen when I realize what I was just about to say. I ruffled my hair more and lay flat on my bed "This is INSANE!" I closed my eyes and turned to my side "What's wrong with me…"

"Am i...?"

I shot up immediately and slapped my self hard, which hurts like hell! "NO! Hell NO! Not gonna happened!" I stomped my feet
"Best friend Sakura! BEST FRIEND!"

"Omg! I'm insane! NO! Get a hold of yourself! It's just the cabbage rolls! You ate four so this is why you can't sleep and why you're thinking of INSANE things! You're not! I repeat!"

I in hailed deeply

"I'm not in LOVE with Uchiha Sasuke!"

"Never!"

"Nope!"

"Not gonna happened!"

"Not even in 10 thousand years!"

"When Pigs fly!"

"No! Never!"

End of P.O.V

"No…"

"N-never…"

"Over… My… Dea-

"Good morning honey… Breakfast is-

Mrs. Haruno entered Sakura's room and found her Daughter sitting on her bed, bags under her half open eyes.

"Sakura?"

"Never… Not gonna… No…"

"Honey what's wrong?"

"No… I'm not… Him…"

"Sweetie?"

"Inlove… No… Can't…"

Trying to make her point, Sakura didn't even have a 1 min sleep. Mrs. Haruno giggled and let her daughter rest; she gave Sakura a sleeping pill so that she can sleep for the meantime. The older woman left the room quietly and went back to the kitchen where a mother is always found.

"One day Sakura… You'll know what I'm talking about…" She said and smiled sweetly
