Author's Note: Okay, so I am completely re-writing this thing! I got a FANTASTIC review from MitsukiHyami and thought that it was a really great review kind of giving me pointers and such. Apparently I was making Itachi and Sakura's relationship move too fast. Um, okay, so I guess they won't even hug for about a month then. Whatever, it's your guyse's call. But the next story I write on here… I'ts gonna be MY story :). So everybody, don't get used to telling me how to write my story, m'kay? Alright, so on that note, we'll start the story…

Sakura awoke to the sound of her annoying alarm clock. She rubbed her eyes, kicked off her sheets, and stretched. 'Ugh..Monday…Greeeeaaat.' she thought. She got up and got in the shower. Whense was out, she turned on her radio and sun along to TiK ToK by Ke$ha. She got dressed in black skinny jeans, red and black knee-high converse, and a red t-shirt with a black vest. She grabbed her phone and ran out the door, praying that she wouldn't be late…again. Once she got to the school, she went to her locker where her friend Ino was. "Hey!" Sakura exclaimed breathless. "Hey…why are you outta breath?" Ino asked.

"Ran to school. I was gonna be late..again." Sakura explained. "Oh…okay." Ino replied. "Hey, did you hear that Uchiha Sasuke hasn't asked anybody to the Winter Dance yet…think he'll ask me?" Ino asked excitedly. "Maybe. I'm surprised nobody's forced that jerk to go with 'em yet." Sakura said sourly. "Why do you hate him so much, Sakura-san?" Ino asked half-heartedly. "Because he thinks he's so cool. Just because he's rich doesn't mean he rules the freaking school. He always has girls around him like their toys. It's stupid. HE'S stupid." Sakura told Ino. "Umm…okay?" Ino said, walking off. Well..that was rude. Sakura thought. Sakura opened her locker and grabbed her books and proceeded to class.

She sat down and opened her journal to start drawing mindlessly as the teacher babbled on about Japanese warriors. She was in the middle of drawing a wolf when someone sat down next to her. This irritated her a bit because she didn't like sitting next to anybody in her classes. She looked to her left to see who it was. She gasped to herself as she stared at the person sitting next to her. She thought it was Sasuke until she saw that he had sleek long black hair in a pony tail and had lines below his eyes.

"Hello." Said the mystery man. "H-hi." Sakura murmered. "I am Itachi. I'm new here." Itachi said. "Oh, um..i'm Sakura. Glad you could, um…come to this school." She said shyly. "Hn. So , why does everybody like that Uchiha guy over there?" He said, pointing to Sasuke. "Ugh. Everybody thinks he's a god or something. I just think he's full of himself." She said to Itachi. He smirked and looked back at Sakura with his beautiful eyes. Sakura caught herself staring and she blushed and said "So um…where do you come from?" Sakura asked. "Hairojayku. Back south." Itachi said to Sakura.

"Wow. That's far, isn't it?" She asked. He nodded and turned his eyes to Sakura's drawing. "A wolf. That's a really good drawing." Itachi said with a gentle smile. "Oh- thanks. I like drawing. Especially in classes when the sensei's get really boring." Sakura said. "Hmm…well do you think you could maybe draw me something?" He asked. "Uh…sure. What of?" she asked. "Hmm… a tiger." He said. "Sure." She said with a smile. She turned a page in her journal and started sketching while Itachi watched quietly.
