Hey, guys! This is, fear not, only the introduction to the story. I wanted to give some background information before diving into the details. I promise following chapters will contain actual detail, not just thoughts! Let me know what you think!
Sasuke and Sakura are child hood sweat hearts. At least, it feels that way to Sakura. The way she sees it they have all the makings of a great romance. She's smart, pretty, and a little shy. He's athletic, handsome, and confident. They balance each other out. Hell, they've been in the same class since fourth grade, they've been next door neighbors for ten years, and they're both on the track team at their high school. It's like fate is practically screaming, "Here's your soulmate, go get 'em!"
Granted one should take into consideration that Sasuke is utterly oblivious so he, most likely, hasn't noticed her in any of their classes for the past nine years, the fact that she sits in the back and he in the front probably isn't helping either, she really needs to start expanding her seating horizons. Also, the status of their houses closeness to each other has, in all likelihood, found a way to escape his keen senses, because, let's face it, Sasuke's really not that much of an observer. And sure, of course she joined track because she "genuinely loves the sport" and not because it was an excuse to see Sasuke shirtless on a daily basis.
So on their first day of junior year, fourth period Literature and Composition to be exact, the last thing she expected was to be paired up with Sasuke Uchiha for the rest of the year. Scratch that, the last thing she expected was the first words out of his mouth to be, "So ... who are you again?"
Come on! She at least liked to believed that he knew her name! It really wasn't that hard, six syllables, Sa-ku-ra Ha-ru-no. Ruling out literally sounding out her name to him as a response, she would come off as an idiot, she decided, Sakura had to suffice with a slight eye roll and a muttering of, "It's Sakura Haruno."
"Hn."
Oh good, this was going to be fun.
Reviews much loved!
