A/N: Thanks for reading and for reviewing! :] It makes me feel much better about my rewrite. Here's chapter 4!

CHAPTER 4

I woke up with a yawn, snuggling into my mattress. It was much softer than I remembered. I hugged my pillow tighter to me, feeling something silky tickle my face. How odd. I opened my eyes slowly, blinking a few times to wake myself up. My eyes focused on the TV screen that was currently playing Boy Meets World. I propped myself up on my elbows, confused. That's when I remembered yesterday! I must have fell asleep and Sasuke...I looked down, Sasuke's angelic face staring up at me.

"Good morning." I whispered. He smiled at me. I didn't realize I was laying on top of him until I felt him squeeze my waist. I suddenly was overwhelmed with heat and felt the need to step outside.

"Sorry. I must have…climbed on top of you…while I slept." I tried not to say that awkwardly but failed...miserably. But when I tried to readjust myself, he held fast, pulling me closer to him.

"Sasuke?"

"It's ok...just relax" His breath was hot on my neck.

"You kept me warm last night. Let me return the favor." He chuckled, pulling my face to his. Right when his lips were about to touch mine, I shot up. I looked around, panting. The TV was on and I was on top of Sasuke. But he was asleep.

It was just a dream. My heart hammered in my chest. I was intensely aware of the fact that his arms were wrapped around my waist. I stared at his sleeping face, letting my fingers trail up and down his cheek. He began to stir, so I quickly pretended to be asleep. I layed my head back down on his chest, my hand resting gently on his cheek. He moaned quietly, sending a shiver up my spine. I felt his head move slightly, before hearing his soft musical chuckle. He hugged me closer to him, snuggling his face into my hair. I didn't breath, hoping to god that if this was a dream I would not to wake up.

He began to shake me, saying my name softly. I stirred, beginning to 'wake' up. I peeked up at him slowly, just 'noticing' our position.

"Sorry!" I sat up, stretching. I was aware of his eyes travelling the length of my body. I did the only thing I could do. I laughed.

"Just so you know, you're weird." He said.

"I am not! I'm me." I walked into to kitchen, starting my routine. I always got a glass of water every morning.

"You laugh a lot...even after bad things." He hesitated before saying the last part, and I understood why.

"Yea, I know. That's just how I am." I winked at him before walking to my room, ready to start my day.

Before I knew it, break was over and we had school again. I groaned, dressing in my normal attire: dark skinny jeans, flip flops, and a solid color v neck. I sported a messy bun along with a pair of aviators and headed out the door. Sasuke told me to go on without him. I went to our 'spot'.;Every day our gang met in the same place in the same hall. After about ten minutes I realized that Sasuke still wasn't with us.

"Hey Sakura." I rolled my eyes before turning to see Neji. He was leaning against the lockers, hands stuffed in his pockets. Saying I was avoiding him lately would be an understatement.

"Hey what's up?" I asked, looking away. I casually looked around when I noticed a familiar hair style… Is that Sasuke? It was! He was standing with a girl who had platinum blonde hair. I knew her...Ino. I felt my chest tighten just a little bit.

"Well...I texted you last night and you never responded." I was too busy gawking at Sasuke and Ino to pay attention to what Neji was saying. I wondered what they were talking about, seeing as she was laughing at whatever he said. Whatever, that's none of my business. Suddenly she was hugging him. Her arms were around his neck, his around her waist. That's our hug…! They intertwined their fingers as they began walking towards us. I looked away before realizing Neji was looking expectantly at me.

"Did you hear me?" His eye brow twitched, signaling he was irritated.

"Um...what?" I gave him a sheepish grin.

"Sakura, I had something important to tell you!" He said in a rush. As he took a step towards me, I took one back. I nearly I fell to the ground when the heel of my foot caught someone else. I was about to thank Neji, grudgingly, for helping when it turned out to be Sasuke. He steadied me.

"You ok?" He asked. I snatched my hand back, stepping away from him.

"I guess." My tone was sharper than I meant it to be. He shrugged, lacing his fingers with hers again. I nearly gagged.

"Guys, I want you to meet Ino. She's my girlfriend." Everyone started smiling and greeting her. I simply nodded and walked away. It was incredibly rude, I know. But I didn't have the energy to even be around them. I needed air. You suddenly have a girlfriend. Lets forget the fact that you haven't even mentioned anything about her up until this day.

"Sakura, where are you going?" I heard Sasuke yell. I ignored him, walking out the school doors. Guess I'll be extending my break another day. I chuckled dryly as I skipped down all the stairs. I was walking through the football field before hurdling to the ground.

"WHAT THE FUCK?" I screamed. I felt a sharp pain in my wrist. It was bent at a weird angle. Just seeing the sight of that made me nauseous.

"I…didn't know where you were going." I sneered, utterly livid. He was the last person I wanted to talk to. I didn't even try to hide the anger in my voice.

"Are you stupid? Where the hell do you get off tackling me? Where I go and what I do is NONE of your business. Now get the hell off of me you jackass." When he didn't get off of me, my anger flared. I punched him in the throat with my good arm.

"GET OFF ME YOU OAF!"

"No. You need to calm down." I tried to push him off, too angry to remember that my wrist was broken. I sucked in a sharp breath as the pain shot up my arm.

"You jerk! YOU BROKE MY WRIST!" I couldn't even bend it. And then I didn't feel his weight at all. I watched as he flew over my head. When I glanced to my left, everyone staring at us. Tenten, Sai, Naruto, Hinata, Kimimaro, and last but not least Sasuke and his girlfriend.

"Dude? What the hell!" Naruto looked pissed. Everyone either sported that look or looked confused. Lovely. Just lovely.

"I needed air. You know how I get anxious sometimes…and this stupid ass hole TACKLED me and BROKE my wrist." Sasuke was at my side in an instant, cradling my hand. When he tried bending it I nearly punched him.

"That hurts!"

"Sorry Sorry!" He set my hand gingerly back in my lap and helped me to my feet.

"Way to go brother." Hinata said. It was the first time I ever heard her use sarcasm. Ino walked over to us placing her hand on Sasuke's shoulder. She looked so nice but something in her eyes made me not trust her.

"Sakura, are you...okay?" She asked bending down to my level.

"Yep. Just needed air like I said." More like I needed to get the hell away from you.

"Guys come on we'll be late!" Just as Sai said that, the bell rang.

"Shit." More than one person said that as we all darted back into school. So much for skipping.

"You...sure can...run...Sakura." Sasuke breathed, his hands on his knees. We were in our fourth and last class for the day: Physical Education. Today was national fitness testing day. I just finished my smile in 5 minutes and 34 seconds. Sasuke finished a few seconds after that.

"What can I say…guess I was motivated today." I had been avoiding him all day. I wasn't looking at him nor was I returning any texts he sent me throughout the day. He mostly asked about my wrist, which was wrapped in a cast. I was immediately sent to the nurse upon entering the school.

"What's going on with you? You've been skittish for the past few days, and now you're being ridiculous today."

"I'm fine so you-"

"Cut the crap. I know there's something up when you don't even return my texts." I looked at the ground. He gently pulled my chin up, forcing me to look at him.

"Don't turn away from me. What's wrong?" What was I suppose to tell him? I didn't even know.

"I... I guess everything is sinking in. My life is changing before my eyes and I can't catch my breath. Plus…I um…will start my period this week." I knew my face was red. He grimaced, but I could have sworn his cheeks were pink.

"It's alright. You're not doing this alone. As for that girly shit, you can keep that to yourself next time." He crossed his arms, not looking at me.

"You asked, asshole." We both started laughing.

"That's my girl."

After class was over, I started walking towards the bus lot. Right as I opened my mouth to say something he grabbed my arm and steered me back towards the school.

"Wait. We have to meet up with Ino real quick." I grimaced.

"We? She's your girlfriend. Why do I need to come?" I started walking towards the buses again before being grabbed for the second time.

"Shut up and stop being a pain in the ass. Come on." I sighed, following him. When she spotted us, she jumped up and down like a little girl and ran over.

"Hey babe." Sasuke greeted, taking her into his arms. She smiled at him sweetly but when her eyes landed on me, they were not happy.

"Hey. Hey Sakura. You doing better now?" She sounded sincere. Maybe I was seeing what I wanted to see.

"Yeah I am. Nothing a little running couldn't help." I tried chuckling but it sounded off.

"We can't stay for long. I just wanted to say goodbye before we headed home." I politely turned away as he leaned in for a kiss.

"I'll meet you on the-" Before I had the chance to finish she cut in.

"So are you guys related?" I stared at her for a second before replying.

"No. He's my best friend." My eyes trailed over to him, smiling. She looked at him seeming to need confirmation. Do you not believe me? When he agreed, my smile widened.

"Yeah. That dumb ass is my best friend." When I started glaring at him he chuckled, wrapping an arm around my shoulder. From the corner of my eye I saw her eyes narrow before going back to her original 'sweet' expression. No I'm definitely seeing her for her.

"I see. Well, I'll let you go. Call me?" She said to Sasuke.

"Of course." They hugged and kissed once more before he turned and walked with me towards the bus. I did not look back at her. Just as I took a step into the bus, excited that the day was over, Neji comes running towards me. Good lord.

"Sakura wait!" I stopped walking but I didn't turn to face him. I looked at Sasuke as he peered back, looking confused.

"Yes?"

"Why are you following Sasuke?" Why the hell does it matter? Why do you need to know!

"I'm going to his house."

"Oh…you guys just hanging out or…?" His possessiveness was really starting to get on my nerves.

"Yes." Sasuke's eyes narrowed. He was beginning to catch on.

"Oh okay…Sakura can-"

"Just text me okay? We have to go." I pushed Sasuke to the back of the bus, watching as we drove past him. I noticed Tenten in the background, glaring at me. She couldn't possibly be mad at me. I didn't do anything. Come to think of it…she hasn't been talking to me lately.

Me: Hey. We just missed you.
How have you been?
Sent: 2:06 PM

Tenten: Hi. Yeah its fine.
I'm okay.
Received: 2:08 PM

Me: You sure? You've been acting
distant lately. Do you want to
talk?
Sent: 2:09 PM

Tenten: You're one to talk
Sakura.
Received: 2:11 PM

"Woah…"

"What?" Sasuke looked down curiously.

"Don't read my texts!" He shook his head, pulling out his own phone. That's right. Go text Ino. I even sneered at her in my head. There was definitely something wrong with this situation.

Me: Excuse me? Are you mad at
me?
Sent: 2:13 PM

Tenten: …a little.
Received 2:17 PM

Me: Why?
Sent: 2:17 PM

Tenten: Because I have a right
to be.
Received: 2:19 PM

Me: And what right would that be?
Sent: 2:20 PM

Tenten: Ugh just forget about it.
Its stupid.
Received: 2:21 PM

I sat there, dumbfounded. What could I have possibly done to make her so mad? I thought about it and felt so stupid when it suddenly clicked.

"Ah shit man." Sasuke gave me a weird look, looking down at my phone again.

"I said don't read my texts!" He chuckled but turned away. I knew I didn't have to ask her to be sure.

Me: You like Neji.
Sent: 2:25 PM

Tenten: Sigh…Yeah. It just sucks. I
mean…I don't mean to get mad
at you. Its not your fault but I…
I really like him and all he does
is talk about you. Its always you
you you. It's like I don't even exist.
Received: 2:27 PM

Me: Look I'm sorry. And I understand.
But I do NOT like him like that. He
seriously is getting on my nerves.
I think he feels like he has to protect
me or something and that's not the
case. You should tell him.
Sent: 2:30 PM

Tenten: I know. And don't be sorry.
Its not your fault. Can't help who
you like. But I don't know how to tell him.
Received: 2:31 PM

Me: Just tell him straight up.
Sent: 2:32 PM

Tenten: Idk if I can do that…
Received: 2:33 PM

We continued to text about how she could tell Neji the truth about her feelings. I was hoping that she'd do it soon and that he'd realize how perfect they actually were for each other. Because I knew I'd flip out soon if Neji kept riding my ass about everything.

"So Tenten and Neji, huh?" Sasuke said after a minute.

"You buffoon! I told you not to read my texts!" I snatched his phone away, smirking.

"Oh no you don't!" He started tickling me and I knew that he wouldn't stop unless I gave him his phone back. He made me pee once even after I warned him I was going to if he didn't stop. I was not going down that road again.

"Alright! Alright!" I slammed it into his chest playfully.

"Its about time. He was beginning to irritate me."

"You? Are you kidding me right now? How do you think I feel?" I stared incredulously at him.

"That's my point. He wouldn't leave you alone and it was getting on my nerves. You aren't his girlfriend. He didn't need to act like a dobe and be possessive of you." I smiled at him. Always looking out for me.

"What?" He asked, his eyes suspicious.

"Oh nothing." I kept smiling at him, un able to stop.

"You'll tell me sooner or later. I know where you live after all." And with that, I laughed.

And that's with you. Home is where the heart is.

A/N: So that wraps up another chapter. It's definitely different from chapter 4 in the original. Its so surprising how…bad my writing was years ago. Lol Not that its great now, but at least everything flows better. Anyways review please. :]
