Chapter 2

(Sakura'sPOV)

"I heard what happened to your locker and I swear, when I find out who did it-"

I placed my hand on Naruto's arm, pulling him back down. His face was flushed with anger and his hands were tight fists.

"It's my problem Naruto-kun, let me handle it."

Standing up again, he slammed his fists on the table and shouted,

"But you don't handle it! You let those people, talk to you like that!"

A group of jocks chuckled as they walked by,

"Freak"

Naruto's neck snapped in their direction and he left the lunch table with murder in his eyes,

"What was that?"he gritted.

One of them grinned slyly, while the other two cautiously walked away,

"I said,...she is a freak."

Naruto punched him in the jaw and I hastily ran to his side and tried to pull him back. I wasn't worth a fight. And he doesn't need another bad mark on his record or he is going to get expelled this time.

Despite my efforts, the punch quickly turned into a brawl and unfortunately, I was caught in the crossfire. Now that I have earned a trip to the nurse, sporting a black eye, Naruto seems to have knocked back into his senses.

"Sakura-chan, I am so sorry. I was just trying to protect you and then things got out of hand-"

I raised a hand up, telling him to stop talking. I stood up and pulled him into a hug and whispered,

"You don't need to protect me Naruto-kun. All I need right now, is my best friend."

His body jerked and I felt something wet go down my shoulder, but I didn't move my position. He was beating himself up for what he did, and I don't know how to help.

(Earlier)

I tried to pull him back, by grabbing his arm.

He quickly shrugged me off and went after the jock again. A fist hit his jaw and Naruto groaned in pain, but still kept punching.

Rolling them over, the jock roared in anger and stood up, kicking him in the stomach. Ignoring the direct blow, Naruto scrambled to his feet, and threw his fist towards the jocks face.

I was standing behind the jock so when he ducked, I was the one who took the hit. The force of his fist, made me tumble to the ground and the last thing I heard was Naruto calling my name before I blacked out.

(End)

Naruto and I have been friends since kindergarden. He was the trouble maker and I was the quiet, sidekick. Even when we were younger, he was always protective of me. Bullies would come after me left, from right and he was always there to stick up for me. It wasn't fair to him, having such a needy best friend. But I am too selfish to let him go.

Breaking our embrace, I stepped back and smiled at his slightly red eyes and bruised jaw,

"I have to get to detention because I skipped it yesterday, go ahead and get home before your mother freaks out."

"Ok. See ya later Sakura-chan."

"Bye, Naruto-kun."

When he left, I automatically headed towards detention, preparing myself for Mr. Sax's loud voice. I opened the door and instead of Mr.Sax, I locked eyes with another person. His eyes were almost black and his hair was darker than coal. He wasn't looking at me, but at his phone. And didn't acknowledge me, even as I sat down.

With a sigh, I put down my stuff and pulled out my head phones, ignoring the guy in the back row with his feet propped up. I was tempted to look back but kept my eyes forward, trying to forget I even saw his face.

I may look like a social reject but, I have overheard some conversations about the him. He is new, and apparently is nothing but trouble. Over half of the female population has called 'dibs' on him and I'm not trying to make more problems in my life. Leaning back in my chair, I drifted to sleep, listening to Teenagers by Chemical Romance.
