Chapter 2 Giving back.

September 10

BRRRRRRRRRRING BRRRRRRRRRRING

'Damn. Stupid alarm clock.' Sakura rolled of the bed, slipped her sandals on, and made her way to the shower. When she was done she got together her uniform. She tired together her hair so that it formed a bun, she then put her wig and glasses on. 'I'm really not enjoying school. I can't even think straight anymore!' Sakura grabbed her bag and headed out the door. As she was walking to school she ran into Hinata.

"S-serena!"

"Hinata! Whatsup?"

"N-nothing, h-how has y-your first week of school b-been?

"It's been okay, I don't get lost anymore and I've made lots of friends."

"T-that's good. You m-must be g-glad it's F-Friday!"

"Yeah I need a break, definitely." 'Why is she still stuttering…oh yeah, she doesn't know me that well.'

When Sakura reached her classroom only Naruto and Sasuke were there. 'That's weird Tenten's usually here too'

"Hey Serena." Sasuke said waving

"Hey."

'Sasuke and I, during the past 5 days we have become best friends. It's so weird, I always have to watch what I say. It's really hard for me when he talks about Sakura… but I can't give up already. It hasn't even been a week.'

"Serena! You know I think I've seen you somewhere before!" Naruto said thinking

"Yeah you say that to me every time I walk in."

"I know. But it's because you look so familiar. But I don't know where I have seen you before."

"Naruto. Give it up. I've never seen you before!" Sakura said grinning

"Oh yeah? Sasuke pass me that yearbook please I wanna see if she looks like someone from it."

'Crap. He might find out who I am if he looks in the year book!'

"Don't boss me around idiot I'm not your slave." Sasuke said folding his arms.

"Whatever, I'll get it later." Naruto said hands behind his head.

'Phew..'

"Serena!"

"Tenten! I was wondering where you were, you're usually here before me!"

"Yeah sorry I was running late I had to go pick up something."

"Hey it's no problem."

BRRRRRRRRING

'So the day is officially starting. Great.'

When the bell rang Sakura took her assigned seat beside Sasuke.

"Serena, did you hear? Kakashi's giving us a project. It's supposed to be done in pairs."

"Yeah, right! Kakashi would never give us a project!" Sakura answer waving her hand to knock of the topic

"Whatever, but if we do get the project I am so not partners with Naruto."

"Ahaha. So you do have a funny side." She said smiling

"Shut up." he said looking away.

5 minutes late Kakashi walked through the door. "Class we have a project. It will be done in pairs and the topic is one of your choice. It can be about flowers, the solar system, or etc. I expect a drawing, an essay, and a explanation."

'Damn. Sasuke was right. I hate projects like these.'

"You're partner will be chosen by the name you pick out of the hat. I will choose 7 people to come up. Those seven will pick out the names of the 7 that are sitting down."

"Great, with this we could get anyone as a partner." Sasuke said groaning

"Okay come up Naruto, Amy, Neji, Lily, Rina, Kiba, and … Sasuke."

'Phew at least I won't be partners with Naruto' Sasuke thought as he walked up the row.

"Okay, now all 7 of you pick a name from the hat." Kakashi said holding out a baseball hat.

One by one, each pair picked up a name from Kakashi's hat. The results were Sasuke and Shikamaru, Amy and Katy, Lily and Lori, Rina and Lizzie, Kiba and Shino, and Naruto and Sakura. 'Man I'm with NARUTO!'

"Okay now that you know your pairs, its best you go to find a working place that you can finish all you work in."

"Naruto, is my place okay?" Sakura asked

"Yeah sure my house is to messy anyway." Naruto said chuckling nervously

'Naruto got Serena. Poor Serena, oh well at least I got Shikamaru.' Sasuke though looking over at Sakura and Naruto

After school…

"Naruto!" Sakura called waving her hand to get his attention

"Oh Serena! I was looking for you. Should we start walking to your house now?"

"Sure."

Sakura and Naruto were walking down the street laughing and talking the whole way to her house. When they finally got there, it was around 3:30. (A/n: school ends at 3) Sakura opened the door and put her bag down.

"Wow Serena! Your house is really really nice!" Naruto said glancing around the room.

"Thanks."

"So let's start working!" Naruto said pumping his fist in the air.

"Haha Okay."

"I'll go get the stuff from my room okay?" Sakura said heading upstairs

"Sure. I'll be waiting down here."

When Sakura reached her room she hid all her picture that contained her in them. She then got some supplies they might need for drawing there topic. After gathering all her supplies she headed down the stairs. Since she was carrying so many things she could hardly see the steps, which probably caused her to trip and fall. 'Oww...'

"Serena!" Naruto said running to the stairs

"Ouch..." Sakura said rubbing her head. "Wait… why do I feel a bun…?" 'Oh crap.'

"Seren- Sakura?" Naruto asked breathlessly

"Ehehe… Hey."

"Why…why are you Serena?"

"To start over. Haven't you ever wanted to?"

"Yeah. But not so much as to change my identity"

"Yeah, but me, I needed to start over." She said looking down.

"Hey its okay. I won't tell anyone."

"Thanks Naruto." She said hugging him.

Sakura's Pov

Naruto he's such a great friend. I trust him a lot. I have no doubt that he won't tell anyone. If there's one person who should've found out that wouldn't tell anyone. It was Naruto.

Normal Pov

"So let's finish up today, how 'bout it Naruto?" Sakura asked finishing there drawing

"Sure. Y'know Sakura, Sakura's were a great topic for this project."

"Yep. There really easy to draw."

Next day…

September 11, Saturday

Ring ring ring

"Hello?" Sakura asked picking up the phone.

"Serena, it's me Naruto. Sasuke and I are going shopping, care to join us?"

"Sure one minute let me get dressed and I'll me right over."

"Okay see you here." Naruto said putting down the phone.

"So why are we going shopping?" Sasuke asked eyeing Naruto suspiciously. "You hate shopping."

"No, I don't" Naruto said defending himself.

"Then why are we going?"

"I thought I'd be cool to hang out."

"Whatever."

'Geez I'm here knocking and they won't come!' Sakura was outside Naruto house knocking very loud, but it seemed no one was going to answer. 'That's it I'm coming in.' Sakura twisted the door knob to find that it wasn't locked. 'Naruto, at least lock you door!' And Sakura walked in.

"Sasuke… you and Serena seem really close."

"I guess. She's cool."

"Do you like her?" Naruto said grinning

"Shut up."

"Oh… I see. So you do like her!"

"Shut it!"

"What? You're shy?"

"Fine! I don't like her! I think she's ugly, stupid, a loser, and annoying!" Sasuke screamed losing his temper.

"S-serena…" Naruto said quietly

"Huh?" Sasuke said turning around.

"Sasuke…"

"Serena! I'm sure he didn't mean it!" Naruto said defending Sasuke

"If you didn't like me… you could've just told me that the first time we met! You jerk! I though we were friends! But I see you were just secretly laughing at me!" Sakura said turning away crying.

"Hey Naruto…"

"Yeah?"

"How'd she get in?"

"The door was open."

"Hn"

Sasuke tried calling Sakura once the day after but she just ignored the call.

September 12, Sunday

Sasuke's pov

I messed up. I actually think she's cool, pretty, and smart. I just couldn't let Naruto know. But in exchange I lost my best friend.

Normal Pov.

Sakura was home thinking about everything that happened. 'Stupid Sasuke. Can't believe I thought we were best friends. That liar. I'm not gonna talk to him.' Sakura was lying on her bed just thinking. 'I need to get out.' Sakura took her wig and glasses off, changed her clothes, and left the house.

X

Sasuke was walking down the streets thinking how badly he messed up. He was looking around observing other people on the streets, when he caught a glimpse of pink hair. 'No way, it can't be her!'

"Sakura!" He called

Sakura turned around to see a waving Sasuke. 'Geez. Not him.'

Inner Sakura: Gotta be nice. You're not Serena anymore.

"Hey"

"Sakura haven't seen you in a while."

"Yeah wish I could say the same." She said turning away from him.

"Anything wrong?" He asked noticing she was trying to leave.

"No. Just wondering why you're so nice."

"Hey why don't we sit over at that table and talk?" He said changing the subject.

"Okay."

"Sakura, so where have you been?"

"America."

"That's pretty far."

"Sasuke. Something's wrong your talking way to nice."

"My best friend and I got into a fight today. I called her stupid, annoying and ugly."

"Harsh. What for." 'Wow I'm good at acting!'

"I didn't mean it. Naruto just…pissed me off."

"I believe that."

"The truth is I think she's pretty, smart, and cool."

"Geez. She really did something to you. You talk way to different." Sakura said punching his arm

"No. It's just that I'm being nice to you. Since I probably won't see you for a really long time. 'I'll miss you.'

"Yeah." Sasuke… I forgive you.'

"Serena seems really cool." Sakura said smiling.

"Hn." "Well couldn't expect to talk a lot forever."

"You're just like her."

"Huh?"

"Serena, she's just like you."

"Oh" said Sakura grinning. "I'd like to meet her one day."

Sasuke's Pov

Sakura… how did she know her name was Serena? I didn't say anything… Nah what am I thinking. She can't be Serena! I'm really losing my mind this year.

Sakura's Pov

Today wasn't so bad. I learned a lot about Sasuke and Serena. Maybe one I'll tell him who Serena is. Maybe.

Y'know I think Sasuke might like me still. I don't know. I might never know. I mean, I live in America.

Normal pov

Ring ring

"Hello?"

"Sakura, it's me Naruto! Sasuke—"

"It's fine I forgave him."

"Huh?"

"It's nothing Naruto."

"Okay Sakura! See you tomorrow!"

"Kay, Bye."

"Byee"
