"Sakura!" A certain blonde and a pineapple head ran up to the girl, who was quietly walking back to the school.

"Oh, hi guys!"

"We thought it was you and Sauce's day today," Naruto said cheerfully – a little bit too cheerfully as always. "Why are you all alone?"

Sakura clasped her hands. "Well, you know. Forgot. About a book report. Silly me." She was obviously done with her book report. Hell, she finished next week's book report. "But I'm not gonna do that. You guys wanna watch movies with me in the dorm?"

Shikamaru eyed her carefully. "You're ditching Sasuke to watch movies with us? Something is up with you." He sighed, with a hint of both annoyance and worry. "What's wrong?"

Sakura glanced at both of the two young men, wanting to find an answer. Why did she leave anyway? She knows Sasuke hated Karin with such passion. But why did she turn around and walk away?

Naruto agreed with Shikamaru. "Girls just don't ditch Sasuke Uchiha for movies with, you know, us. I mean, I know I'm so sexy and beautiful and all that but," He shrugged and slicked his hair back. "Seriously. Just plain weird, I guess."

"Well, I'm a different kind of girl, " Sakura cleared her throat. "And today, I just want to be fat and watch movies with you guys. Sure, I wanted to go canoeing with – Wait." She turned to the duo. "How do you guys know I was going out with Sasuke today?"

"He told us last night. He was pretty happy 'bout it too. 'You losers don't do anything tomorrow, I'm going out with Haruno,' he said." Naruto stopped walking and snapped his fingers. "Dude. He's going to be pretty pissed if he knew you blew him off for us."

Shikamaru rolled his eyes. "Of course he's gonna be pissed, dumbass. So. Why are you blowing him off, Sakura?"

"Karin," the name came out of the pinkette's lips. "Don't tell Sasuke though, please."

"Yeah, what about her? Sasuke hates her."

Sakura put her palms on her forehead. "She's every man's dream. You see her with Sasuke, and you immediately think 'Gosh, they look so cute together.' I mean, come on. She's pretty, curvy, she sure can pull off a dress. And then me. Look at me. You see me with Sasuke, and what do you think? That we're – "

"Perfect." Shikamaru and Naruto finished. "You're hair's a mess"

"You're flat."

"You can't call that an ass, baby."

"Skinny-ass legs."

"No one can see your curves because of the clothes you wear."

"You probably don't have curves anyway."

"But you have that goofy personality to match with your goofy appearance." Sakura's eyes brightened. "And that's what makes Sasuke smile. You think bitches like Karin that wears fifty layers of makeup and probably sticks some oranges in her bra can do that to that asshole? Please, not even some of us can make him smile."

"Question!" Naruto spoke up. "Do you like Sasuke, Sakura?"

Sakura turned purple. "What, no!"

"Whatever. Let's just go watch those damn movies." Shikamaru said. "You should call him though."

"Or he's gonna be pissed." Naruto added with a nod.

"Okay," Sakura replied getting her phone out of her pocket, and quickly dialing his number. She held her phone to her hear and waited for a response. "Yo. Uh, I can't make it. Why? Uh," She looked at Shikamaru and Naruto desperately, the two not even batting an eyelash. "I-I have a book report. What? I'm lying? Naaaaaaaawwh. Nawh. No. Yes. Fine, I –" Naruto snatched the phone from her hands. "HEY, Best Friend! Come over to Sakura's dorm, we're watching movies. Bye."

Green eyes stared at the blonde in shock. Sakura grabbed the phone and frantically began making excuses. "No I was not blowing you off! I swear! …Fine. I was. Why? Uh..Just come over okay? Okay. Bye."

Sakura suddenly grabbed Naruto's collar with one hand, and grasped her other around his neck. "Why, Naruto. Why?"

"I'm sorry, promise I'll buy you lunch for the rest of the week!" Naruto cried out. She stared at him, daggers in her eyes, and let him go.

"You break that promise, I break your bones."

"Holy shit, shut the fuck up you two, it's only noon and you're already being troublesome." Shikamaru complained.

"Where are your roommates anyway?" Naruto asked, grabbing a bottle of juice from the refrigerator.

Shikamaru tapped on the microwave, waiting for his popcorn. "Well, Ino's at her parents. Tenten's probably with Neji. Hinata…I really care."

"Shikamaru..don't you think Hinata's kinda cute?" Naruto said in a sweet voice and looked at Sakura with wide eyes. "Don't tell her I said that."

"Whatever, dobe." Shikamaru said.

"Oh that's right, you have Tema-" Naruto brought his statement to halt after seeing the look on Shikamaru's face. Sakura laughed.

"So, what do you guys wanna watch first? Scary, comedy, romantic, romantic comedy, mystery…."

"SCARY first! Then mystery. Then comedy. So I would forget about the scary one and will actually be able to sleep tonight." Naruto said.

The door bust open. "I'm here." Sasuke, hands in pockets closed the door and immediately walked towards Sakura. He stood before her, his face demanding and angry. He was probably about a whole foot taller than the girl. "Explain."

Sakura looked away, awkwardly pushing him away and at the same time backing from the boy. "Ever heard of the term, personal space?"

He grabbed her wrist and clutched it. "No. Now tell me."

"I swear, I'll tell you after we watch the movies." She whined putting her trapped arm up and attempting to bite his hand, much to Shikamaru and Naruto's snickers.

Sasuke slowly let go of her hand and sighed in defeat. He turned to the other boys. "When that time comes, you idiots better get the hell out of here."

The room turned silent, except for the sounds of the poporn popping in the microwave. Dangerous onyx eyes, slightly scared emerald ones, indifferent black pupils, and cheerful azure ones all filled the room. After a few seconds, the microwave beeped, filling the awkward moment. Shikamaru cleared his throat, although there was nothing in his throat to clear. "Popcorn's ready."

"Out." Sasuke declared sternly when the last movie's ending credits came up. He hadn't talked to Sakura within the movie session and he needed to talk to her now. Sakura hunched her shoulders, scared of what was about to happen. She looked at Shikamaru and Naruto, her eyes begging for help. The two shrugged and winked at her as they walked out of her room.

"Well, man look at the – " Sakura began, her voice quivering.

"Shut up. Now explain."

Sakura looked at him in the eye. "You shouldn't be hanging around someone like me. You're only causing trouble and hurt for the girls who like you."

"Who are you to decide who I should and should not hang around with?" Sasuke said, as gently as he could. "I'll hang out with whoever the hell I want. And do you really think I care abou any of them?"

She burst out laughing. "You," Sakura pointed at him. Sasuke looked at her weirdly, and raised his eyebrow. "You want to hang out with me?" Increased laughter. She straightened herself and put on a serious face. "Okay. Okay. Sorry. You actually want to hang out with me?"

"It's not that hard to tell me you don't want to hang out with me.'" Sasuke answered. "I hate it when people just can't be forward with others. Sakura, if you don't like being with me, that's fine, but I'd rather you say it to my face."

Sakura bit her lower lip. "I like hanging around you, Sasuke," she admitted.

He looked at Sakura gently and moved closer to her. "Do you?"

"Yeah."

Sasuke looked at her for about a minute before putting his hands in his pockets and said, "Okay." He sat on one of the beanbags in the room. "It's 8:30"

"Well, you better get out of here. Guys can't be in girls' rooms after nine"

"I don't care. Let's watch another movie. Your roommates aren't here yet?"

"They usually don't come back until ten. What movie do you want to watch?" Sakura smiled and tossed him a bag of chips and a can of Coke.

"I don't know. You got that Russian spy one that came out on DVD last week or no?" He asked, standing up to get a cup.

"Yeah, I do." She took a seat next to Sasuke's beanbag and picked out the movie. "Movie's starting." She smiled at the Uchiha, who, surprisingly, smiled back.

"Sakura. Sakura!" Sakura felt someone shake her shoulders. She slowly opened her eyes to find Sasuke within two inches of her. "What? Did we fall asleep?"

"Yeah, we did. It's eleven. Your friends aren't here yet though."

"It's fine they sometimes do that..You gonna be able to make it out without getting in trouble?" She asked.

"Probably. There's a stairway around the corner. You think you're gonna be okay by yourself here?" She nodded. "Okay. See you in first hour." The Uchiha quietly walked out the door with a wrinkly shirt, two buttons undone and messy hair. A first for the neat and clean Uchiha.

Thinking it was pretty hot, Sakura took off her tank-top and jeans and got in her bed. She hid under the covers until she heard the door slam. "I'm trying to sleep here." She said groggily.

"You!" Ino exclaimed and pulled Sakura's covers. She gasped. "YOU!"

"What? You guys sleep with only your underwear on too, sometimes." Sakura groaned, her eyes half open.

"Well, I thought we were all friends here. You didn't tell us about you and Sasuke!" Ino fake cried. "I can't…"

"What," Sakura sat up. "are you smoking on?"

Ino rolled her eyes. "Don't play dumb, Sakura. I just saw Sasuke come out of this room. His hair was an absolute mess, his white shirt very wrinkly. Two buttons undone on the top, one on the bottom. No belt, as well. It's eleven-oh-six. He's not supposed to be in here. Only one reason why he was. And we both know what that is."

"What…NO! Ino, we were watching movies. Right? And we fell asleep. That's it. Nothing happened. Swear to God." Sakura began to lay back down.

"Oh shut up. Don't worry. This secret is safe with me. Good night, love." Ino said in a sing-song voice. Sakura, too lazy to argue back, murmured a "Night" and went back to sleep.

Welp, sorry for the..nearly-365-day-delay. I actually wrote this around 6 months ago, but my laziness intervened with me ever putting it up. So well, here it is. Hope you enjoy and reviews would be nice :3
