Hey! I'm back with another fanfic, as you can see. I'm taking a new route with this one, hope you guys like it. Remember to read and review! Enjoy.

Chapter 1:

After her 2 hour 2 PM lecture in Tsunade's class, Sakura's brain was fried. And, on top of that, she had to go to the frat party that night. Because, not only was it Friday, but her friends Hinata and Temari were forcing her to go. Sakura had become more and more gloomy and boring and depressed as time went by after her most recent breakup with a student at Hidden Leaf University named Kiba Inuzuka. Let's just say she fell too hard and he had no intentions of catching her. He used the puppy trick to get her and then disposed of her when he no longer had any use for her. She was just a broken toy to him.

Nonetheless, Hinata and Temari had planned on getting her to the frat party by force if she didn't get dressed and go with them voluntarily. Sakura decided on the latter just based off the knowledge that the force might've been more physically painful than the voluntary action. She knew Kiba would probably be there but Hinata and Temari fed her all the logic she needed to go through with going to the party. Part of that logic being that she needed to show up and have a good time to prove to him that she's okay and he was gonna miss her even though she wasn't and he probably wouldn't.

By the time Sakura got back to her dorm after stopping to get a snack with some classmates, it was already around 6 o'clock. The party started at 9 so for the next 3 hours she had to do part of her homework and get ready. Sakura walked down the hall and into the living room only to see Temari all over this guy she'd been into from her governmental war strategies and tactics class (god knew why she took that in her junior year; she was a business major). His name was Shikamaru Nara (or something like that). Sakura lingered there for a moment, sighed, and kept walking to the room she inhabited in the dorm.

A couple hours passed by the time Temari knocked on the door. "Come in." Sakura said, closing her laptop. "Sorry if you saw us earlier, we're kinda getting a little infatuated. At least I am, I can't speak for him." Temari blushed, her lips curling everso slightly at their edges. Sakura smiled. "It's fine don't worry about it. What am I wearing to this frat party?" Temari went into Sakura's closet and pulled out a low-cut, sleeveless peach blouse and a pair of skinny black jeans. She threw the clothes at Sakura and placed a pair of suede black boots next to her. "That." Temari said blankly.

After showering and getting dressed, Sakura and Temari charged their phones and waited until Hinata got to the dorm room. "Sorry I got here so late, guys. I had a project to do with a really cute classmate of mine. His name is Naruto Uzumaki, he's literally tall, hot, blonde, and has these KILLER blue eyes. But anyway, I digress. Let's go." The three got up and headed out of their dorm with their phones and purses.

When the trio got to the frat house hosting the party, they were greeted by the scent of booze and mostly drunk, sex driven party goers all around them. "Alright, you two do what you want but I'm spotting Shikamaru over there and I think I need to go and see if I can mark my territory if you know what I mean." Temari said with a smug look on her face, walking away. "And then there were two." Sakura sighed, looking around. Before she knew it, Hinata was gone without a word. "And then there was one." Sakura muttered to herself, making her way to the keg furthest from any type of civilization.

When Sakura got to the deserted keg in the backyard of the frat house, she figured there was probably no liquor in it. Because, why would there be a full keg with no frat guys surrounding it trying to do something stupid to get them to black out, like a keg stand. She was surprised to find that the keg was still full of beer, and she was still alone. She couldn't help but wonder how the fuck it got there though because the guys never put kegs in the backyard unless they were using the pool. And today, they weren't. Sakura stood, cup in hand. Finally, she thought, listening to the bass of whatever song was playing inside, peace. Sakura laid in the grass, put her cup beside her after taking a rather large gulp, and looked up at the stars thinking of being back in her own dorm or anywhere else than that party. She was glad that the booze and the excitement was remaining inside of the frat house and not seeping outside into her little slice of serenity.

"Beautiful night, isn't it?" a deep, smooth voice asked her. Sakura sat up and looked in the direction the voice was coming from only to see a tall, rather handsome man emerge from the shadows. "Have you been here the entire time?" she asked. He smirked and looked down at the cup in his hand. "Yeah, I was the first one out here." the mysterious man said, his smirk turning into a charming, white smile. Sakura hadn't noticed that he'd been moving toward her slowly with every word. But, as he got closer, she was able to notice more about his physique. His hair was jet black and was slightly wavy. He was tall and sort of mysterious and brooding and his walk was calm. He had light brown eyes and long eyelashes, his smile had brought his almost-dimples to light and she'd become instantly intrigued with him, no matter how much she didn't want to be.

He sat next to her in the grass, his gaze never moving from the place in front of him. He was, evidently, great at avoiding eye contact. "Well, that's embarrassing," Sakura finally said. The man looked at her as she looked back up at the sky.

"Nah, don't worry about it." he said, chuckling slightly.

"Well, I'm sorry to impose, I'm sure you're out here alone for a reason." Sakura responded.

"No, actually, I was just out here because there's a dickhead in there that I wanna avoid."

"Me too. What's your name?"

The guy's ears twitched slightly at the sound of the question.

"You sure you wanna know that?"

"Why wouldn't I be?"

"Because that's how infatuation starts…" he laughed softly.

"Yeah, I'm sure." Sakura's smile grew wide.

"You've got a beautiful smile…"

"Thanks, I try." she giggled, he smiled and looked at her face closer.

"My name is Sasuke Uchiha. World History major. What would your name be?"

"Oh, Sasuke. I don't think I'll tell you that just yet… that's how infatuation starts."

Sasuke chuckled. He was a little shocked; no one, especially a girl, had ever used his own lines on him. And she was being flirtatious about it? No way. He could tell she hadn't intended to be flirtatious, but that didn't change the fact that she was, in fact, being flirtatious with him. Sasuke turned to face her and Sakura did the same. He liked it, the vibe. He wanted to know more about her instantly. "At least tell me what you major in."

"Okay, medicine."

"Oof. I heard Tsunade's a hardass."

"She's not as bad as people think. World history with Kakashi and whoever else teaches it when he's gone, which I heard is a lot, could be one of two things."

"You're funny," Sasuke said, laughing, "and what would those two things be?"

"Either extremely lax or unbelievably vigorous."

"It's both - Kakashi beat you there."

"Not surprised."

Sasuke chuckled. He noticed her throw her empty cup across the grass. He hadn't even noticed she'd finished her drink. He prayed she didn't ask what his was. He didn't want the conversation to end so he went on to ask another question. "So, who's the asshole you're avoiding?"

"My ex. Kiba Inuzuka, or better known by my roommates as 'Deputy Dickhead'. He kinda maybe sorta broke my heart like a couple months ago. My friends forced me to this party."

At the sound of Kiba's name, Sasuke's brows furrowed. He hated him. More than that, he loathed the man.

"Are you serious? By the way, Deputy Dickhead is comic gold considering the person in question."

"Unfortunately, yes. And, thanks."

"Well, that's the douchebag I'm avoiding too."

"Cheers to that." Sakura said, getting up to get a new cup and more beer.

Sasuke watched her walk toward the keg from where he sat. He hadn't noticed prior to this (a) how well put together her outfit was and (b) how absolutely fantastic her ass was. But, he made sure his gaze didn't linger too long. He looked into his cup, which he hadn't sipped from in front of her in fear she would see the red tint it left on his lips and tongue, let alone the washed out red color that would temporarily stain his teeth. He fought his conscience and gulped down the rest of the cup's contents. He swallowed afterward to try and get the red tint as far away from his mouth as possible.

When Sakura went back and sat down in front of Sasuke, she got a text from Temari: Hey S, you okay? You went MIA. Call one of us when you can.

Sakura responded: I'm fine. Think I made a new friend. Text me when you're all leaving.

"Do you have to get home?" Sasuke asked her.

"No, I'm good for now."

"Oh ok, cool."

"Yeah. What did Kiba do to you by the way?"

"Let's just say he's not the best to get along with. My kind and his kind don't mix well."

"Your kind?"

Sasuke thought for a minute before responding, "Well, honestly, I'm not an uptight asshole - that's his department. I'm more of the laid back, chill guy type. Not to toot my own horn."

"Makes sense. And, yeah you're cool to hang out with. I'm glad I met you today, really. I've need this sort of vibe for a little while now so thank you."

Sasuke smiled at the ground again. He looked up at Sakura and said, "Does that mean I get to know your name now?"

Sakura smiled at this, almost forgetting she hadn't told him her name in the first place. "Sure. Sakura Haruno." Sasuke smirked. "Nice to meet you, Sakura Haruno."

"The same to you, Sasuke Uchiha."

A few seconds later, Sakura got a text from Hinata: Leaving now, meet us out front.

"Well, that's my cue. See you around, Mr. Uchiha." Sakura stood up, gulped down the rest of her drink, and threw the cup in the same direction she threw the first.

"Wait, hold on." Sasuke said as Sakura started walking away.

"What's up?"

"I know this is very forward, but I'm gonna give you my number."

"You're not gonna ask for mine?" she chuckled.

"Well, let's think of it this way: I don't wanna seem thirsty. So, if you want to just hang out with me, you can choose to text me or not. Plus, if I really wanna see you again and you don't text me, I'm more than sure I can find you sometime somewhere."

"Nicely played…"

Nothing was said when Sasuke reached his left hand out for Sakura to give her phone over. Nothing was said when Sakura handed him her phone. Nothing was said when he put his number in, nor was anything said when he handed back.

When she grabbed her phone from his hand, Sasuke said, "Goodnight, Sakura."

"Goodnight, Sasuke."

With that, their initial meeting was over. Sakura went back inside the frat house in order to make her way back to the front of the house and meet Temari and Hinata. Sasuke? He went back to lurking in the shadows.

Hope you all enjoyed chapter 1! I like how it came out, I might make edits to it in the future. Stay tuned for chapter 2, everyone!
