Konoha High I : The Dating Game

Finale

Sakura woke up bright and early, a bright smile on her face even though her body was weary from just waking up. The pink-haired girl got out of the sheets of her bed, walking towards the mirror to fix up her messy bundle of hair. Once it was fixed and neat, she smiled at her reflection in the mirror.

She quickly got dressed, sliding on whatever she felt like at the moment and walked downstairs. "Sakura-chan," her mother greeted her, "good morning."

Sakura smiled genuinely, "Yeah, good morning, Mom!"

Her mother smiled warmly at her, "You're in a good mood today, something happen?"

A small blush covered Sakura's cheeks and her mother's smile widened as she laughed to herself. "Ah, I see Sakura-chan. Well, you have your fun with your little 'boyfriend'."

"He's not my boyfriend!" Sakura replied hotly, feeling her cheeks grow warmer.

Yeah, Sasuke-kun may not be our boyfriend but we'll take care of that, Inner Sakura said mischievously.

Sakura's mother nodded her head, "Right, Sakura-chan, Sasuke-san isn't your boyfriend..."

Sakura cocked her head to the side in a confused manner, "How'd you know...?"

Mrs. Haruno filed her papers together as she looked at her daughter; "His mother and I were awake and saw what 'happened' between you two when you came home."

"What, you didn't trust me so you spied on me?!" the pink-haired girl questioned, lifting an eyebrow.

Her mother piled her work in her bag, "Oh no, Sakura. We just happened to be awake at the time. Of course I trust you."

Sakura shrugged, "Yeah, whatever. I need to go, see you!" Sakura's mother motioned her hands for her to stop and her daughter looked at her questioningly, "What? What is it?"

Mrs. Haruno gave her a small smile, "Your car's in the workshop right now, it's being upgraded. You should have it back by tomorrow."

Sakura gaped and quickly said, "How am I supposed to get to school then?"

Her mother picked up her bag and walked over to her daughter, giving her a light hug, "I'm sure you can catch a ride with someone. I'm late so I can't drive you, I'll see you later if I can." Just before she left, her mom glanced back at her. "Why don't you catch a ride with Sasuke?" She gave a coy wink seeing her daughter's face spread red with a blush,

"Mom!" Sakura called back, a question she was uncalled for.

"Just a thought, Sakura!" and with that, her mother left, leaving a slightly angry and embarrassed Sakura behind. She sighed, walking outside as she pulled out her cell phone to make a call to Ino for a ride. She speed-dialed Ino's number and waited patiently as the signal connected and the rings were stopped by Ino's cheery voice.

"Hello?" Ino's voice came through after the third ring.

"Ino-pig! Hey, it's Sakura," said girl spoke into the phone, feeling relieved that her blonde-haired friend had picked up.

"Forehead-girl! What's up calling so early in the morning?"

Sakura smiled on the other line, "I just need a fav—"

"Hey," came the low, husky voice of Uchiha interrupting Sakura's statement to Ino and grabbing the pink-haired girl's attention.

"Hello? Forehead-girl? Is Sasuke-kun there? I thought I heard his voice..."

Quickly remembering Sakura was on the phone, she said, "Oh, um, never mind what I was going to say, Ino. I'll see you later at school, okay?"

"Okay... sure, forehead," spoke the blonde with uncertainty, her eyebrow rose in a confused manner from the other line as she hung up.
