Enters Sakura, walking home from the school house after staying late to grade papers. The letter crumpled up in her pocket, she still couldn't find the courage to open it and actually read it. Walking inside her home and greeted by her cat, Byou.

"Hey byou…" leaning down and scratching the top of his head as the cat purring as he circled her feet.

"Ugh… I'm so tired. Good thing tomorrow is Saturday" she said kicking off her shoes, walking into the living room. Falling back into a large arm chair "Byou… come here kitty" she said holding out her arm.

The cat jumped on her lap petting his head "I miss sasuke…" she said softly "It's too quiet without him here"

She reached into her pocket and pulled out the letter "Oh… it couldn't hurt to read it"

Dear Sakura

How are things back home? It's been hell here the past few days. I really miss you and wish I was at home. Now I don't want you to worry about me okay? I found out yesterday naruto was shipped here too. You remember him? So we're going to look after each other and I'll be home in a few months.

Sasuke.

Sakura lets the paper fall to the floor "Don't worry huh? I have everything to worry about you idiot"

"Always telling me not to worry when I have everything to worry about…"

"It's just like when we were kids"

Sakura recently had her heartbroken by sasuke, which actually didn't stop her from trying. Then there was a problem that came up. At the start of the new semester sakura was fortunate enough to be sitting in front to her friend, Hinata.

Sakura ran into the class and took her seat "AH!!! What a good morning"

Hinata timidly sitting in her seat looked up at sakura "wow you're having a good start today sakura-chan"

Sakura looked back "Of course, it's the second semester and I don't have to sit next to the class troll"

"Oh… you mean naruto" she said softly.

"Yeah I mean I can't see how sasuke-kun can stand being around him all day, I mean look at him"

Naruto was sitting at his new spot near sasuke, wolfing down some ramen before classes started.

Sakura sat forward and folded her arms across her chest "It's not fair that he gets to sit next to sasuke"

"Well that's thanks to the girl's in sasuke's fan club"

Sakura turned around "Wha- He has a fan club?"

Hinata nodded "And a vicious bunch of girls too, remember that last girl that sat next to him went to a different school"

Sakura looked over to sasuke, who was looking at her. "Really?" she asked as he stared at her coldly.

"Yeah so you better be careful" hinata said as the teacher walked in.

During lunch sakura and hinata sat under the large tree in the middle of the school.

Naruto walked by munching on melon bread, and sakura looking at him disgusted.

"What? Why are you looking at me like that!" he shouted

"Nothing… you just disgust me" she said coldly as continued eating.

"Hey don't take it out on me cause sasuke rejected you the other day" sitting down

"Wha- How did you find out? And how said you can join us" she shouted turning bright red.

Naruto leaned over hinata's shoulder "Wow that looks good" he said, hinata turned a deep red and shoved her food in front of him. "Here you can have it" she said softly.

"Focus you moron" sakura said throwing a rock at him.

"Ow… what was that for? She offered her lunch to me" he said rubbing his head.

"Not that…." She said sounding frustrated

"Well I could care less but sasuke told me cause he's my friend and tells me everything" naruto said before taking the lunch from hinata. "And you're just stupid for trying"

"Why do you say that!" she shouted getting ready to punch him in the face.

"He wants to join the military…" he continued "we both do"

"I could care less about you too… but why the military?" she asked stammering

"Not sure it seems like his whole family did it… I wanna become a great pilot one day"

"The military…" sakura said, her chest starting to feel heavy.

Back then that had nothing to do with me, but for some reason I don't know why I just felt so helpless. I wondered is that the only reason why he rejected me, cause he believed I wasn't a strong person or was it just he didn't like me.
