Impossible Love

Chapter Three

Date?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sakura was way to early at school, a big surprise, since she always slept as long as possible. But after declaring that she hadn’t been able to sleep and had gone to school to her friends, she smiled broadly to no one.

“Sakura-chan, you’re acting very weird.” Tenten said. “Are you ever going to tell us?”

“No.” Sakura smile turned into a grin, but she gasped when she saw a blond-hared boy enter the school. She let her breath escape when she noticed it wasn’t the person she had wanted it to be.

“There is some boy, isn’t there?” Ino suddenly said. Sakura sweat dropped.

“How did you know?!”

“Obvious, how you’re looking, how you’re smiling.”

“Damn you Ino-chan.” Sakura mumbled. Tenten almost jumped onto her pink-haired friend.

“YOU HAVE A BOYFRIEND!?”

Sakura turned hell red.

“N- No! It’s just… um… I met this really nice person in the hospital…”

Sakura was interrupted by Tenten, Ino and Temari laughing.

“Sakura and boys,” Temari sniggered. “Never goes together.”

“Hey, I didn’t beat him into the hospital if that’s what you’re thinking! He had a car accident and I called the hosp-”

“Car accident?” Hinata’s soft voice spoke up. “Y- you mean where I was as well? That boy?”

“Yeah, him!” Sakura smiled again. “Before I knew it, I was sitting next to his bed waiting for him to wake up… He’s really nice, you know. He likes the same music as me, and we both love cookies, and he’s good-”

“-In making out?” Tenten finished for her.

“No!!” Sakura yelled frustrated.

“Not? See, Sakura and boys…” Temari grinned. “When she has someone found as weird as her he can’t kiss!”

“That’s not what I meant!!” Sakura threw her bag to her friends, who quickly dodged it, laughing.

“Sorry, we’re just kidding.” Ino smiled.

“What does he look like?” Temari asked.

“Uhh… He’s a blond, and has amazing blue eyes…”

“I hope you aren’t referring Naruto, cause the only idiot who would fall for a moron like him is Hinata-chan.” Ino said teasingly. Hinata blushed and Sakura pulled a face as if she had eaten something very sour.

“Ew! He can be nice but I most certainly don’t like him! By the way, I would betray Hinata-chan and that’s so wrong! And only thinking of Naruto and me just… Ew!”

“Yeah right.” Tenten grabbed Sakura’s hand. “Then what’s his name?”

“Deidara.” Sakura said. She could feel the shiver going through her body. ‘And I only said his name… I’m too fond of him…’

“More details!” Tenten yelled. Hinata laughed quietly.

“Uhh…”

Right that moment; someone zoomed down the banister from the stairs on a skateboard. Sakura looked up and saw his long, blond hair swaying behind him.

“That’s him!” Sakura whispered. Then she wished she didn’t.

“DEIDARA!” Tenten yelled loudly, jumping up.

“Eh?”

Deidara turned his head, surprised, and his board got caught on the end of the banister. “GAAH!!” He flew off of his board and onto the ground.

Ino slapped her forehead as Tenten giggled nervously. Sakura quickly rushed up to Dei as he sat up.

“D-Deidara-san, are you alright?” She asked quickly.

“Yup!” Deidara grinned, but Sakura saw a small cut on his cheek.

“You’re hurt…” Sakura pointed out. Just as her hand reached out for it, she saw Tenten clearly in the corners of her eyes, looking at them with huge interest.

“Err, do you want to meet my friends?” She decided not to be so soft around Tenten.

“Un!”

They got up and Sakura led him to her friends. Deidara looked at all of them.

“Um, well.” Sakura took a breath. “Hinata-chan, Tenten-chan, Ino-chan and Temari-chan… Girls, this is Deidara-san.” She smiled.

Deidara waved cutely, slightly shy around all the girls.

“God he’s hot.” Tenten said. “Way to go, Sakura-chan!”

Sakura blushed like mad and slapped her friend against the back of her head. “Shut up moron, he’s only a friend.”

Temari frowned at Deidara. “How old are you?”

“Uhh…” He pretended to count on his fingers, rewarded with a giggle from Hinata. “I’m twenty-one, un!”

Ino frowned as well while Sakura played a little with the strands of her hair.

“H- He has twenty-one fingers…” Hinata whispered giggling.

“No, I have only eleven.” Deidara said, looking dead serious, causing Hinata to giggle more.

“Ne, Deidara-san, at what time today are you finished?” Sakura asked.

“Hmm…” Deidara looked down at her. “What time are you guys getting out, un?”

“Ino and I; early.” Temari said, throwing a glare.

“Late.” Tenten mumbled annoyed.

“T- the same as Sakura-chan… At three.” Hinata said.

Deidara was quiet for a second. “Sakura-san? Could you come here for a sec, un?”

“Sure…” Sakura smiled and walked with him.

“What’s Temari-san’s problem?” Deidara asked when the others couldn’t hear them anymore. “She’s kinda creeping me out with all the death glares, un…”

“Temari…chan?…” Sakura looked around for a second, looking at her friend. “I don’t know… I’m sorry if she’s acting like that…” She bit her lip.

“It’s okay. Just creepy, un.” He mumbled, but his face cheered up. “Listen.”

“Yes?” She asked.

“I’ll see you and Hinata-sama at three alright?” Deidara asked. “I have something for you… I think you’ll like it, un.” He smiled at her cutely, causing her to blush.

“Uh… Okay… Sure.” She smiled back.

He ran off, grabbing his board, and Sakura walked back to her friends. Tenten gasped when Sakura came into view again.

“What happened!? He wants to marry you, doesn’t he!?”

“No!” Sakura yelled, grabbing her pencil case and starting to throw things at her friend.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After school, Sakura and Hinata met each other in the hallway and went outside, walking to the bike shelter. Deidara was sitting on top of it, waiting for them. The girls hadn’t noticed him yet, and suddenly a loud, female voice shot through the air.

“HARUNO!”

Sakura flinched. She knew that voice. It belonged to no one else then Ami, the most popular girl in the school. She turned around to meet the gaze of the purple haired girl. Behind Ami were standing two of her followers.

A fake smile played on Sakura’s lips.

“Ami?” She acknowledged, letting her know she was listening.

Deidara watched closely, frowning slightly.

“Who was that guy you were talking to this morning?” Ami asked, walking up to Sakura, swaying her hips.

“A friend, Ami.” Sakura replied coolly.

“Well,” Ami smiled mean. “You must have noticed that he is hot and you are not. So stay away from him. Understood?”

Sakura frowned. “And what if I didn’t?”

“Then I’ll be sure to make your life more of a hell then it already is.” Ami said, and placed one hand on her lip, smirking satisfied. The girls behind her – which Sakura now had recognised as Kyra and Jade – giggled.

‘That does it.’ Deidara thought. With a jump, he was off of the shelter roof and walked up to the girls.

“Hey.” He said.

They all looked up. Ami immediately flashed him a charming smile.

Deidara laid his hands on Sakura and Hinata’s shoulder while he returned a glare to Ami.

“What do you want, un?” He spat.

Ami wasn’t taken back by his rudeness.

“Giving you advice.” She said, still smiling at him. “Those two are far from popular. They’re nobodies. Why don’t you come with us? I could introduce you to more people. We’re way more better then her.” She laughed at Sakura for a second, Kyra and Jade following.

“Sakura-san? And Hinata-sama?” Deidara narrowed his eyes. “Nobodies, un?”

“Yes.” Ami answered, smiling cutely.

Inner Sakura was ripping an Ami doll to pieces.

“I wouldn’t normally do this since you’re a girl, un… But…”

Deidara came closer to the purple-haired girl. Sakura frowned again, wondering what he was going to do. Then, without a warning, he punched the girl into her stomach, hard.

Ami fell over, moaning, the tears jumping in her eyes. Sakura, Hinata, Kyra and Jade all four gasped in shock.

Deidara grabbed the front of her shirt, pulling her up. “Don’t you ever let me catch you making fun of or putting down any other student, un… Got it?”

Ami nodded, the tears streaming down her cheeks.

“Good.” Deidara let her go. “The only people who make fun of others are low-life scum, un! It’s disgusting!”

Kyra and Jade both took an arm of Ami, pulling her up gently and quickly leading her away. They both looked around quickly, staring surprised and scared at Deidara. He growled at them.

Hinata grabbed Sakura’s wrist, shaking on her legs.

Deidara’s voice was slightly calmer when he spoke again. “I really hate people like that, un… They think they’re so much better then everyone else…”

Suddenly, Sakura groaned.

“They’re going to kill me for what you just did…”

“Not if I have anything to say about it.” Deidara replied.

“You can’t always be next to me, Deidara-san…” She sighed. “Let’s just… forget it for now.”

“Forget?” Deidara looked up. “Oh yeah! Look what I brought you, Sakura-chan, un!” His smile was back.

Sakura looked at him. “… What?”

Deidara pointed over at the bike shed. Both Sakura and Hinata turned around, seeing Sakura’s bike standing there. Sakura blinked.

“But- … That’s my bike! It was stolen! How-?” She looked at him, wide-eyed.

“That would be telling, un.” He smiled at her. She stared at him.

“It has only been three days…” Hinata mumbled softly.

“Hey, she near enough saved my life.” Deidara sputtered. “The least I could do was a little favour.”

Hinata blushed, a little ashamed.

“I- I said it was okay, you didn’t have to… But… Thanks.” Sakura smiled at him. “Lets go get some cookies, ne?”

Deidara’s immaturity immediately kicked in. “YAY!”

“I- I can’t, Sakura-chan… My father, re-remember?”

Sakura sighed. “Oh yeah… I’ll just go with Deidara-kun— Deidara-san. I’ll see you tomorrow?”

“Y- Yes.” Hinata smiled at her and Deidara, then turned around to get her bike.

“Ok, I’m confused.” Deidara said. “What’s up with that one, un?”

Sakura shrugged. “Her father is over-protective about his only daughter… She almost always has to go home right after school… But, we were going for cookies.”

“Yay!” Deidara yelled again.

Before he realised it, she grabbed his hand and dragged him over to the other side of the street, to a shop.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sakura walked out of the shop, carrying her ‘groceries’, and sat down on the stone sidewalk next to him.

“Sit with me.” She smiled and patted on the ground next to her.

“H- Hai.” Deidara flopped down next to her. “Ite! … It’s not very soft, is it, un?”

“Well, it’s stone, after all.” Sakura handed him over a cookie.

“Yeah, I know.” He shot her a sheepish grin. “I’m hollow headed!”

Sakura giggled.

“No really, I’m just stupid sometimes, un!”

“We all are.” Sakura took another cookie. Deidara gave her his trademark grin.

“Hey…” He started. “Won’t your parents get worried about you, un? For coming home this late I mean…”

Sakura stiffened up a bit. “No.”

“Why not?” He asked. “M- My parents would…”

She only shrugged.

“Hmm… What part do you live in, un?”

“Uhh… Somewhere in the north of Konoha.”

“Sheesh, I’m on the total other end, un…”

“Oh… That sucks.”

“Un…”

Deidara smirked and fell back, facing the sky. Sakura turned around a little, looking at his face.

“What are you doing?”

“Nothing…” He replied.

Sakura looked at him for a second.

“I used to live, when I was little I mean, miles and miles away from here, un… Took me weeks to get here…”

“… Why did you go here then? This isn’t a real happy place… I mean… Yeah.”

“Are you kidding? Konoha has the best school anywhere, un…” Quietly he added, “It’s the only other village I haven’t been to…”

Sakura frowned, but loosened up after. She softly placed her hand on his. “I’m sorry.”

“Eh?” Deidara looked at her.

“Must be really hard for you…” Sakura said slowly. ‘And I thought my life was fucked up…’

“I got used to it, un.” He said casually. “I’ve spend my whole life going between all the different villages… Hoping to find somewhere that felt more like home… I dunno, un, I guess it’s pretty stupid.”

Sakura shrugged again. “I don’t think so.”

He flushed slightly. She smiled, but when she noticed she was still holding his hand, she quickly let go.

‘I wonder…’ Deidara looked at her.

A girl came running toward them, waving her arms up and down.

“Who’s that, un?” He asked, while sitting up straight.

“Eh?” Sakura looked up.

“Tenten…san?” Deidara squinted his eyes.

Sakura recognised the brown buns immediately.

“Hey!!” Tenten yelled happily. She stopped when standing next to them. “Sakura-chan, do you have any money?”

Sakura sighed annoyed.
“Not anymore.”

“Oh, okay.” Tenten suddenly smiled very sweetly at Deidara, to the annoyance from Sakura.

“He doesn’t have any money for you either!” She yelled.

“What do you need, un?” Dei asked. Sakura sighed again.

“1,20?” Tenten asked.

Deidara reached into his pocket, pulling out a five note, and handed it over to the brunette. She squealed.

“You’ll get it back from me, I swear!” She said, with sparkling eyes. “Sakura-chan, can you come with me?”

“No.” Sakura said, deciding she’d rather stay with Deidara.

“Oh… And,” Tenten smiled again. “Temari-chan and Ino-chan were looking for you.”

“I’ll come with you guys, un.” Deidara said, while standing up. ‘I’m not hanging around to see what Temari-san wants… She’s way scary…’ He thought.

“Oh, mokay.” Sakura linked her arm with Tenten. “C’mon, Tenten-chan!”

“Yeyness!” Tenten grinned widely and the girls skipped away.

Deidara stared at the teenagers, who were skipping like they were five years old.

“Come on, Deidara!” Tenten yelled over her shoulder. Sakura turned her head, still skipping, and smiled at Deidara. He walked on a little faster to keep up with them and smiled back. Suddenly, Tenten started singing.

“A few times I’ve been around that track!”

“So it’s not just gonna happen like that!” Sakura added.

“Cause I ain’t no Hollaback girl! I ain’t no Hollaback girl!” They sang together.

Deidara grinned a little.

“What are you actually going to buy, moron?” Sakura asked when they arrived at the gas station next to their school.

“Lollipops!” Tenten smiled widely and went inside. Sakura looked around, seeing Deidara smile at her cutely.

‘He’s not only handsome, but sweet as well…’ Went through her head. ‘Falling in love with someone like him is like… suicide…’

Tenten was back and pushed a lollipop in her hands. “Dei, you want one as well?”

“E- Eh?” Deidara looked at her, surprised. Tenten didn’t wait for his answer and pushed it in his hands.

He smirked at her as thanks.

That’s when Tenten noticed he never smiled at others then Sakura. He smirked and grinned kindly, but his true smiles were saved up for Sakura. Tenten smirked back.

“Hey Sakura-chan.” She said. “Tonight Hinata-chan and I are going to the cinema, even though Neji-asshole and his friends are coming to because Hinata’s dad is such an overprotective dick. Can you come tonight too? Please?”

“Uhh…” Sakura looked at Deidara. “O- only if Deidara-san wants to come too…”

Deidara blushed slightly. “S- Sure, un.”

“Cool!” Tenten grinned. “Be at the cinema at nine. We’ll see you there! Bye!” Tenten waved quickly and ran off.

“Well, I better go home and change, un…” Deidara said. Sakura nodded and smiled.

“See you tonight.”

“Ja ne.” Deidara smiled back, flipped on his skateboard and was on his way home.

Sakura watched him leave for a moment, before turning around and walking to the bike shelter.

Sakura’s POV
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“AHHHH! WHAT SHOULD I WEAR!?”

Panicking, I threw all my clothes through my room. Normally I wouldn’t give a shit what I’d be wearing. But this wasn’t ‘normally’. I considered sitting next to the boy I liked in the cinema as a date.

I threw my shorts against the window.

“Why don’t I have any nice clothing!?!? … Hinata-chan!”

I grabbed my mobile. Hinata would help me out. Quickly, I searched her number and held my breath while I held the phone to my ear.

“H- Hyuuga Hinata speaking.” Her soft voice sounded.

“HINATA!” I yelled through my phone. “I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO WEAR!!!”

It was quiet for a second, and one moment I thought I had screamed her deaf.

“To wh- what?” She answered then.

“Cinema, me and Deidara-san are coming with you and Tenten and I just wanna look good!”

“Y- you want me to help, I guess…”

“Please?” I begged, while I walked through my room, careful not to trip over my clothing.

“Sure, sure… J- just don’t make me deaf next time…” I heard her sigh, and I grinned a little.

“You still have that short black top, which shows a little of your stomach?”

“You mean the one with no text on it?” I asked, while pulling it from my bed. “I’m holding it right now.”

“That one is both elegant and cool. I think that’s a good one for the cinema.”

“And jeans?”

“Hmm… Those skater jeans.”

“Black or just normal jeans? I have two.” I found them in the corner of my room.

“Normal, I guess. And wear your white sneakers underneath it.”

“Hey, that matches quite good! Wait a second while I put it on okay?”

“S- Sure.”

I quickly laid down the phone while I dressed. I watched myself in my mirror. Hinata was right, it looked good. I took the phone again.

“Hinata-chan, I love you! I owe you so much! Thanks!!!”

She laughed softly.

“It’s no problem, S- Sakura-chan… I’m sorry but I need to go for dinner now… Bye, I- I see you tonight?”

“Hell yeah! Love!”

I hung up my phone, grinning to myself. Hinata knew too much of fashion. I didn’t, but I actually never cared about it…

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Deidara’s POV
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“WHERE THE HELL IS MY GOOD SHIRT DAMN IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

I ran in circles in my small room, emptying all my drawers and my whole closet. I couldn’t find it.

I ran around my room for another hour or so tidying everything. I still couldn't find it! I tried to calm myself down.

“I'll have some Pocky and think, un… No big deal…”

I reached under my bed for my last packet of Choco-Pocky, but instead of finding it, my hand brushed against a soft material. I pulled on it, dragging it out from under the bed.

“YAY!!!! MY SHIRT!!!” I did a little dance around my room, pulling the shirt over my head, leaving the mess and throwing on my pair of baggy skater pants, brushed my hair putting it up in it's usual high pony-tail and ran outside.

I got lost… Seven times, but I finally made it to the cinema, walking up behind the girl with very familiar pink hair, smiling.

“Yo…”

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Normal POV
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sakura and Tenten were waiting for the others in front of the cinema.

“Soooo. You do like him even though you said you didn’t?” Tenten leaned her chin in her hand. She hadn’t done much for the evening; she wore a short, dark blue skirt and a long-sleeved shirt with a small skull on it. Her hair was up in two buns, like always.

“Well… I guess.” Sakura blushed. “But he’s only a friend, he’d never like someone as me…”

“I wouldn’t say that so fast… He’s smiling a lot at you.” Tenten grinned and Sakura looked back sarcastically.

“He smiles at everyone.”

“That’s called smirking, Sakura.”

“Does not.”

“Does too!”

“Yo…”

Sakura almost had a heart attack when Deidara suddenly stood next to her. He looked good. He wore baggy ripped denims and a black sleeveless shirt that said ‘Free Hugs’ on the front in red lettering. Over that a long, black coat with red clouds on it.

“Hi, Deidara!” Tenten said cheerfully. Deidara grinned at her.

“Hinata and the others aren’t here yet, so we have to wait.” Tenten told him.

“Okay, un.” Deidara turned around and started climbing in a small tree. Both girls stared at him. He hopped off of it and disappeared over the top of the mid-roof.

“What the-…” Tenten mumbled.

“Beats me.” Sakura said stunned.

Deidara hooked his feet on the small railing on top of it and let himself fall over the edge to look at the girls.

“I can see better from up here, un…” He grinned again.

“He’s even a bigger idiot then us, you know that right?” Tenten said amazed. Sakura only mumbled something.

“Hey!” Deidara said pretending to be offended. “I happen to take great pride in my stupidity, un!”

Tenten laughed.

Sakura noticed Hinata walking up to them, together with three boys. A huge blush was on her cheeks.

The boy next to her was her cousin, Neji. He had long, brown hair, and the same violet eyes as Hinata. He looked pretty annoyed and his clothes were dark.

Behind him walked a boy slowly after them, a cigarette hanging between his lips. He was in Sakura’s class, named Nara Shikamaru. Ino and Temari both had the hugest crush on him. He had brown hair, tied up in a spiky tail. His dark eyes looked bored and he shoved his hands in his pockets.

The last boy had bright, blond hair and blue eyes. His clothes were all orange. Uzumaki Naruto, the boy Hinata had a crush on (that explained her blush, thought Sakura). He was talking happily to his friends, who didn’t take the bother to reply. None of the four noticed Deidara.

“Oh deary. It’s ‘Uzumaki-kun’.” Tenten mumbled. Sakura giggled.

“H- Hey girls.” Hinata said when she was standing next to them.

“Took you long enough.” Tenten said.

“Shikamaru was taking hours, alright!?” Naruto protested.

Deidara gave a silent laugh. ‘I’ll just wait for the right moment… I don’t wanna land on top of them…’

Tenten grabbed Sakura and Hinata’s wrists and pulled them into the cinema. The boys slowly followed.

Deidara jumped off the roof, which was about 10-15 feet from the ground, and came down in a perfect landing. Naruto saw it all happen and his mouth fell open.

“WHOA! Neji did you SEE THAT!?”

“See what.” Neji didn’t turn around to see what Naruto was pointing at. Shikamaru did and frowned when he saw Deidara.

“Weren’t you the guy who punched Ami?” He asked. Hearing this, Neji did turn around.

Deidara saw that the girls were inside buying popcorn. He quickly held his hands up in front of him, laughing nervously.

Neji and Shikamaru exchanged looks.

“I’m watching you, new-guy…” Neji glared at Deidara before he turned around and walked on.

“Oooh…” Deidara said sarcastically. Neji ignored him. Shikamaru slowly turned around to follow him. Naruto on the other hand, kept staring for Deidara a lot longer before turning around and quickly rushing behind his friends.

“Why do I have the feeling I’m not gonna be popular, un?” Deidara mumbled before following the others.

Tenten was holding three extra large bags of popcorn. “Can we just go inside?” She asked the group. Sakura quickly decided to help her before it would fall on the ground.

“Yeah.” Neji replied.

Deidara just nodded and smiled a little at Sakura, glad to see her returning a smile.

They went inside, Tenten and Naruto talking to each other. Deidara did an exact impression of Neji to Sakura after Neji had gone in. Sakura burst out of laughter and walked in next to him. Deidara smiled.

They all sat down, Naruto first in the row, Hinata following, then Tenten, Sakura, Deidara, Neji and last Shikamaru. Naruto quickly stole a bag of popcorn from Tenten, hanging over Hinata.

“ASK FIRST!” Tenten yelled. Naruto stuck out his tongue.

Deidara sniggered, ignoring the looks he got from Neji.

“Hey, what if Neji and Shikamaru share a bag, me and Deidara-san as well, and Tenten-chan, Hinata-chan and Naruto? We have three bags of popcorn, right?”

“Oh, yeah! Sure.” Tenten made sure that the popcorn was equally handed out; Hinata holding one, Sakura holding one and Neji holding one.

Deidara checked his watch. “Movie doesn’t start for another twenty minutes, un…” He said, more to Sakura then anyone else. “I’m gonna get a soda…”

“Okay.” Sakura stuffed some popcorn in her mouth.

“You guys want something, un?”

“Could you get me a breezer?” Naruto asked grinning widely, knowing he was underage but Deidara was too.

“S- Same.” Hinata wasn’t thinking about what she said.

“Get me a beer.” Neji said, since he was old enough to drink.

Tenten, Sakura and Shikamaru shook their heads.

“Okay… What flavour, un?” Dei asked, turning to Naruto and Hinata.

“Um… The red one, p-please…” Hinata stuttered.

“If Hinata likes that one, then me too!” Naruto grinned like an idiot. Deidara caught on instantly when Hinata grew a bright red.

“Ok…” He grinned kindly at Hinata and gave Naruto a wink.

Sakura and Tenten smirked at each other. Neji gave Naruto a death glare.

When Deidara left to get the stuff, Tenten elbowed Hinata.

“Since when does Naruto know you?”

Hinata only blushed even more, not able to say something.

Five minutes before the movie was going to start, Deidara came back and took his seat. He handed Neji his beer and then passed the two breezers down to Naruto and Hinata. Hinata thanked him quietly.

Neji glared at Deidara. “They aren’t old enough for drinks like that.”

“Uh huh…” Deidara turned to look at Neji. “How old are you?”

“Sixteen.” Neji replied.

“Uh huh…” Deidara said again. “So you’re only JUST allowed to drink, un… Which makes me the responsible adult… And as the responsible adult I say they can, un… So there!”

Neji stood up, his eyes narrowed angrily. “I’m not here to enjoy a show, I’m here to protect my cousin from freaks like you!”

For a moment, it was quiet. But Deidara had snapped at the word freak. He was shaking with rage.

From freaks like you…

“Tch.” Deidara glared at Neji, but then he turned around and stormed off, just when the movie started. Neji sat down, satisfied.

“Neji, you idiot!” Sakura screamed angry, throwing her bag with popcorn all over his long, silky hair. She turned around and stormed off, running after Deidara.

“Way to goooo…” Tenten mumbled. Hinata looked worried.

“D- Deidara-san, wait!” Sakura yelled, even though he was already out of sight.

Deidara was outside, sitting on the roof, unnoticed by all. He hugged his knees. He couldn’t help it; the tears were falling from his eyes slowly. He wasn’t a freak. No matter what they would say, he wasn’t.

He saw Sakura hurrying out of the cinema, looking around. For a moment, she was quiet. Then, she sighed and kicked hard against a wall.

“Goddamned…”

“Stupid Neji-teme…” Deidara muttered quietly. “Stupid prick…” He looked how Sakura sat down on the sidewalk.

“Sakura-san… Gomen…”

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tenten hoped that both Deidara and Sakura would return, so she left them alone, but when the movie ended they still weren’t back. When she and the group headed outside, she found Sakura sitting on the sidewalk.

“He didn’t come back?” She asked softly. Sakura shook her head and Hinata sighed.

“S- Sakura-chan, let’s just go home…”

“You go… I’ll go later…” The pink-haired replied.

“Are you sure?” Tenten asked worried. Sakura only nodded.

Deidara’s tears stopped as he glared death at Neji, who crossed the street with Hinata and Naruto.

Tenten have Sakura a quick hug. “I can stay as well…?”

Sakura shook her head. “No… Just go home, your parents would get worried…”

Tenten gave her a sad smile before taking her bike and leaving.

Deidara sniffed softly. ‘She has so many friends…’

Sakura didn’t leave, her arms around wrapped around herself, shivering from the cold. She started to regret the short, black top.

Deidara lowered himself silently and took of his black coat. He put it over her shoulders, causing her to look up immediately.

“D- Deidara-san… I’m sorry…” She whispered.

“No… I’m the one who should be sorry, un…” He replied, looking down at her. “I ran out on you…”

Sakura bit her lip again.

“I- I’m sorry… Come on… I’ll make it up to you, un!”

“No, it’s fine…” Sakura tried a smile. “I’m just glad you didn’t stay away…”

“My treat?” Deidara suddenly asked. “Frosty Chocolate milkshakes, un?”

Sakura’s smile grew. “That would be nice…”

She gave him a quick hug, causing him to blush.
