Hey guys, so I decided that I am not going to put Next to You on a super long hiatus—but I've decided to focus on developing other short stories and one-shots so I am putting Next to You aside for now. The plot of this story, I'm Not Into Her, came to me in a dream last night, so I thought I should write everything down and put it up as a short story for you guys to enjoy~

Oh by the way, check out xUchihaofDPhunkx's story Forever-it's a great read if you like action and/or is wishing for a Jurassic Park kind of story without character death and if you like SasuSaku romance~:D The link to the story is on my profile page. (P.S. It's a Sasuke/Sakura pairing xD)

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.

~*~I'm Not Into Her~*~

It was an absolutely gorgeous, gorgeous evening. The sun had just set, although streaks of bright pink, orange, and red still dashed across the dark blue sky above

the still-lively town of Konoha. A mother carrying heavy bags of groceries called out behind her to her laughing children, who were distracted by the leaves that

swirled in the wind, fallen from the great looming trees that encircled the town in a protective embrace. A fairly old obaasan rocked back and forth in her chair on her

creaky porch, and watched as the leaves fell in delicate patterns, as if dancing along with the breeze. Other town residents were going home from work and

whatnot, quick, heavy, and light footsteps pattering all over the streets, stopping sometimes to partake in quick conversations with neighbors and friends.

A peculiar-looking girl of around seventeen walked quickly from one street to the next, her short and soft pink locks swaying in the wind. She was in a mild

hurry, for she still looked around to admire the falling leaves.

"Wow, so pretty...as usual," she murmured.

Her destination in mind appeared as she hiked up the last street, a long pathway to the most prestigious neighborhood in town, the Uchiha District. The

famous Uchiha clan was the town's main support-financially that is-and the most powerful family in the Land of Fire. The Uchiha clan was the reason that

Konoha was a popular tourist attraction for foreigners from the Land of Wind or even the citizens from the next town over.

But while Konoha's citizens were lively and cheerful, the typical Uchiha family member was just the opposite. It was ironic that such powerftul but cold

political figures brought fame-the good kind-upon the town.

It's weird to be close friends with them too, the girl mused thoughtfully.

The swaying of her light coral hair stopped as the girl slowed to a lazy stroll, crossing the neatly-cut lawn that belonged to the destination in mind, and

stopped at the door of the biggest house in the Uchiha District. She rung the doorbell three times, and waited. She vaguely heard music thumping from

behind the great oak doors as she patted down pale pink flyaways and smoothed down her navy blue blouse before subconsciously tugging at a pocket of

her gray skinny jeans.

She waited, shifting from one ballet flat-covered foot to the other.

She waited.

And waited.

And-

The heavy mahogany door swung open, and a handsome boy of around seventeen with perfectly layered and spiked up black hair-resembling the rear end

of a duck-raised a perfect eyebrow at the girl whose bright green eyes were narrowed in irritation. Music thumped even louder from the house, and a vein

throbbed in her head.

"What are you doing here, Sakura?" The boy asked nonchalantly, leaning against the door coolly.

The vein throbbed harder.

Sakura breathed out sweetly with a menacing undertone just barely noticeable, "Um, excuse me-you invited me here to hang out! Don't tell me that you

forgot about that, Sasuke-kun."

Uchiha Sasuke. The hottest guy in Konoha, besides his older brother and the other guys of the Akatsuki gang at Konoha High School, was the object of

desire of nearly the entire female population, and also Sakura's childhood friend, and secretly, her crush.

He just wants you to think that he forgot about you. No worries, girl!

Shut up, Inner. He's not that nice. And you're delusional.

Ha! You just called yourself delusional.

Shut the fuck up.

"Oh that. Hn. I didn't forget," his low voice broke through Sakura's inner turmoil. Without a fair warning, her heart swelled with hope and the vein in her wide

forehead disappeared as a small smile appeared on her rosy lips. She made a move to enter the giant house- only to meet Sasuke's arm that

lashed out firmly to block her way. The smile disappeared, and a frown etched itself on her pretty face.

Confused, she asked, "Can't I come in?"

"No."

She was even more confused with her intelligent mind going miles a minute as to finding the reason why he wouldn't let her in-

And then she saw her.

Karin Hoshigaki. Her worst enemy and her rival-in-love, self-proclaimed by Karin herself, was scantily clad in a tight red tube top and denim

daisy dukes, her glasses in her hand and a triumphant smirk pointed right at her.

Sakura can feel her resolve fading, and she stepped back onto the porch, pink bangs hiding her tearing

eyes although a part of her mind tried to convince her not to jump to conclusions.

Inner, I told you that he wasn't nice.

Ooh. I cringe just reading that. Harsh.

So what do you guys think? :D
