Chapter 1: The 'It' Boy
"Beep beep... beep beep... beep beep!"
My hand slammed down on the stop button on my alarm clock. I groaned and rolled over again, pulling my covers over my head and attempting to go back to sleep again. I was always grumpy and tired in the mornings that weren't on weekends. The reason I had to get up so early was obvious; school, hell, torture... whatever you'd like to call it. When I opened my eyes again and looked at the time on my alarm clock, I almost had a heart attack. 7:20 Am. I had ten minutes before my bus left.
I dragged myself from my bed and peeked out of the closed blinds that were covering my window. It was sunny and looked warm. There was barely any wind either. I smiled to myself as I got dressed into my school uniform. I folded up the sleeves of my polo shirt because they were too long and annoying, slipped on my black shorts and put my black high-top converse on. I did a rubbish job at straightening my short bubble pink hair, but it looked better than it would've had I just brushed and left it. I put on a little black eye liner and some mascara before I checked my timetable and cursed. I always had the worst subjects on Mondays. I took out the books I had left in my school bag from the Friday before and stuffed in my English, Advanced Maths, Ancient History, Music and Art books before zipping it up quickly and running down the stairs.
"Bye Mum!" I yelled as I reached the front door.
"You're not having breakfast?" She called back as I opened the door. I heard the bus turning onto my street.
"No time!" I told her.
"Have a good day honey!"
"I'll try," I muttered as I closed to door behind me and ran to the bus stop just as the bus got there.
I clambered on the bus and found my best friend, Ino, and sat in the seat next to her. Ino's blonde hair was pulled back into a pony tail, though her side fringe was still left out, covering her left eye completely. She looked at me with her blue eyes and shook her head in mock disappointment.
"You were lucky." She commented as the bus pulled away from the curb and started driving to school.
"I know," I laughed, catching my breath. I didn't think I had ever run so fast in my life!
"I don't think the driver would've appreciated it if you were late two weeks in a row, Sakura." She pointed out.
"True." I nodded. "I would've had to walk to school."
"Fun," Ino laughed.
"Oh, definitely!" I said sarcastically as the bus stopped at the last stop before school.
"Sakura Haruno, sarcastic as usual, I see." A voice said from above us.
I looked up, even though I knew who it was already. A boy with Black hair, relatively pale skin, onyx eyes and no freckles who was pretty tall stood in front of me. If I didn't hate him with a fiery passion, I'd probably think he was hot.
"Sasuke Uchiha, what a wonderful surprise." I rolled my eyes and unzipped my bag. I rummaged through it and pulled out my iPod before putting in my headphones and turning it on.
Sasuke sat in the seat in front of us, resting his arms on the back of the seat and his chin on his arms. "I know I'm wonderful, Sakura. You don't need to tell me."
"You're a jerk."
He looked down at my iPod that I held in my hand and noticed how I was purposely covering the screen.
"What is it today?" He asked, referring to what I was listening to. "Screamo? Hard rock? Soft rock? Punk rock? Or even, god forbid," he paused, "not rock?"
"No, actually." I said. "It's a new genre. It's called How-To-Kill-Sasuke-Uchiha Rock."
"Sounds cool," He commented. "Care if I have a listen?"
"Yes actually, I do. It's an iPod, not an usPod." I snapped as the bus pulled in at the school's bus bay. I stood up and walked off the bus, Ino following me, before he could answer.
Ino fell in step beside me as the walkway widened. "Will you two ever stop flirting and just go out?"
"Me? And Sasuke? You're kidding right?" I asked.
She shook her head. "He's totally into you."
"Well I'm not into him!" I told her stubbornly.
"Ok! Ok!" She laughed and pulled her phone out as her message tone went off.
"Who is it?" I asked.
"Just Sai." She smiled. Sai was Ino's boyfriend. He went to a private school in our town, but they had been dating for about a year and a half.
"What does he want?"
"He wants to go to the movies tomorrow night. He wants you to come too." She told me.
"Me? Why would he want me to go?" I asked in perplexity.
"I don't know... maybe so you don't feel left out? Don't ask me." She said.
"Tell him I'll go if he brings a friend." I thought about this for a moment. "A hot friend."
"Ok," Ino laughed and typed what I said into her phone before sending it to Sai. His reply was almost instantaneous.
"He says he'll see what he can do." She told me.
"Good." I smiled as the bell went.
"I'll see you later!" She yelled as she ran off in the opposite direction to me. She had physics first every Monday, so she was heading to the science labs.
I turned and walked towards my music classroom. I was dreading this class for once though; I had my guitar assessment, and all I could think about was how bad it would be if I screwed up. Another reason to dread music was the fact that Sasuke was in it and none of my friends were. Even though Sasuke was in all my classes, this one was the worst. I sat down in my usual seat and shoved my bag under the desk as Sasuke walked in and sat beside me because all the other seats were taken.
"Why can't you go bully someone out of their seat to save me the torture of sitting next to you for just one lesson?" I asked him.
He shook his head. "Can't do, Sakura. Haven't you heard bullying is bad?"
"You finally got the memo, huh?" I snapped back.
"Quiet down everyone!" Mr Kakashi yelled above the class. "Come on, quiet! Naruto, get off the drum set or I'll give you detention!"
The class settled down and Mr Kakashi sat behind his desk. "You all know what today is, right?" He asked us.
When no one answered, he just continued. "Its assessment day! Exciting, right?"
Still no answers.
"Ok then! Let's get straight into it! Let's see..." He looked for something on his laptop before continuing. "Naruto! Since you're so enthusiastic, you can go first for your assessment. I'm hoping you know your piece."
Naruto, one of Sasuke's friends who had blonde hair and soft blue eyes, stood up and nodded before returning to the stool behind the drum kit and playing his assessment piece. Name after name got called out and everyone played their pieces. There was some that made little mistakes, some that made big ones, some that forgot their assessment piece in the middle of a bar, and only one person that got it one hundred per cent right. Sasuke.
He returned to his seat next to me after playing his assessment piece flawlessly on the piano and winked at me. "Good luck."
"Not like I'll need it." I told him as Mr Kakashi called my name. Cocky, I know, but I wasn't about to let him get to me.
I walked up to the front of the class and played the assessment piece that Mr Kakashi had given me to learn for this very moment; Are You Gonna Go My Way by Lenny Kravitz. The song was actually really easy to play, even though it sounded difficult. I managed to get through the whole song without missing a beat even though I had to play it on one of the school's nylon string acoustic guitars, which made it harder to distinguish bends and force harmonics. I let out a breath I never realised I had been holding and walked back to my seat next to Sasuke.
"Damn, girl." He winked at me as the bell went to signal second period.
I rolled my eyes and grabbed my bag before stalking out of the classroom and to the computer lab that my Ancient History class had been booked in to for that lesson.
.
.
I got to the computer lab for ancient history and spotted Ino and our friend, Hinata, already logged on to computers with a spare one between them. Good. I thought. Now Sasuke can't sit next to me. I smiled and sat between my friends and logged on to the computer.
"What's got you so happy?" Ino asked as Sasuke walked into the room. "You and Sasuke finally declared your love for each other?"
Hinata snickered beside her.
"No." I snapped. "I'm happy because now I'm sitting between the two of you, there's no way he can sit next to me."
In the corner of my eye I saw a hurt look flash across his face before he quickly composed himself and walked over to me.
"You did pretty good in your music assessment back there," He commented.
"Really?" I asked sarcastically. "I thought one hundred percent was a terrible mark!"
"You only got one hundred percent because I wished you luck before-hand." He winked.
"Stop trying to steal all the glory, Sasuke. Like I said earlier; I didn't need it." I snapped.
"Mr Uchiha, chatting with Miss Haruno again are we?" Mr Gai asked, looking around the classroom before his eyes landed on Sasuke, who nodded. "If Miss Haruno here didn't hate you so much, I'd think something was going on between you two."
"He wishes." I muttered.
"I bet he does." Mr Gai chuckled before turning back to Sasuke. "But for now, Mr Uchiha, you need to stop chatting up my female students and start work on your assignment, seeing as you haven't even started it."
"Yes, sir." Sasuke said quickly and looked around for a spare computer. There was one next to Ino and one next to his friend Neji. Thankfully, he chose the seat next to Neji. I supposed he didn't want anymore attention from Mr Gai than that he was already getting.
I opened the web browser and searched up my topic, which was the Aztecs, looking for good websites when my school email account opened itself up in another window. I had a message from Ino.
Sai wants to go to the movies tonight rather than tomorrow night because something's come up. Is that ok with you? I mean, it's not like you're gonna be the third wheel or anything, because he also said he got a friend to agree to come along.
I read through the email quickly and replied.
Yeah that'll be fine. When do I need to be there?
I hit send and clicked back into my other window for my research as Mr Gai walked behind us. I clicked onto some random website about the Aztecs and scrolled down slowly, pretending to read the information. When he had gone, I heard Ino typing frantically and found an email in my inbox almost instantly.
The movie starts at 7:30.
I typed my reply almost as quickly as she had hers.
What movie are we gonna be seeing?
In the corner of my eye I saw Ino take out her phone and text someone. Probably Sai. She waited for him to reply before emailing me back.
Sai says that he's picking and that its a surprise.
I gave her a strange look but she didn't seem to notice.
If he chooses something stupid I'm ditching you guys. No matter how hot his friend is.
She laughed under her breath.
Hey, its your choice, my friend. Maybe he'll choose something good.
It was my turn to laugh under my breath this time.
I highly doubt that.
She gave me a death glare but didn't answer to my email. Then again, her glare was answer enough. I continued my research on the Aztecs and managed to finish my assignment just before the bell rang. Ino, Hinata and I quickly logged off our computers and hurried out of the classroom so we wouldn't get hounded by Sasuke and his friends. This was how it was everyday, we were always running out of every classroom we ever went in before lunch breaks so we couldn't get held up by some idiot popular boy who had a major crush on me. Sure, he was hot, but I hated him with a passion so he didn't even have that to use against me.
We were almost at our small oak tree we sat under when I tripped over a tree root which I hadn't seen in my hurry to get away from the classroom before Sasuke got to me. Ino and Hinata must've not noticed because they kept on running. Someone walked across my path as I fell to the ground, and I ended up unintentionally dragging them down with me. I cried out as I hit my head on another tree root that refused to stay in the ground where it belonged, and the root I had originally tripped over grazed my knee. I sat up slowly, my hand held up to my forehead as if to stop it spinning.
"I'm so sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going..."
"I'm sorry! I'm so clumsy. I'm always falling over stuff."
We spoke at the same time. I looked up at the boy who I had accidentally dragged to the floor with me and thought that maybe if I would've caught a glimpse of him before I fell, I would've fell on purpose just if it meant he would catch me. He had messy black hair which fell over his bright blue eyes, prominent cheek bones and no acne. He was looking me over too.
"It wasn't your fault, trust me. I fall over everything." I told him, leaning over to pick up my iPod that had flew out of my hand when I fell, but he beat me to it. He pressed the middle button and looked at the song.
"You listen to My Chemical Romance?" He asked curiously.
"Yeah, what's wrong with that?" I asked him.
"Nothing! They're basically my favourite band." He said, handing my iPod back to me.
"Well in that case, I love them - they saved my life and I want to be Ray Toro when I grow up." I told him, dragging myself up off the ground.
"You're gonna have to do something about your hair then." He pointed out as he did the Same.
I thought about this for a moment. "I wanna be Ray Toro with straighter and thinner hair when I grow up, then."
He laughed a little, then his gaze travelled down to my knee. "Hey, you're bleeding,"
I followed his gaze. "I'll live."
"Are you sure? I could take you to the office if you'd like."
"I'll be fine!" I reassured him. "Grazed knees stopped hurting in primary school. Besides, you don't even know my name and you already want to play doctors and nurses."
He gave me a questioning look, as if he didn't want to be rude and ask straight out what my name was.
"Its Sakura." I told him with a smile.
"Sasori." He returned my smile.
"Nice to meet you, Sasori." I said, holding out my hand.
"You too," He shook it.
"I guess I'll see you round, then?"
"If you look hard enough." He said cheekily before running off. He turned back when he was about two metres away and smiled at me again before he turned and met up with his friends again, and I walked up to the little oak tree, and Ino and Hinata.
"Who's that hottie?" Ino asked excitedly.
"No one," I muttered, smiling to myself.
"Well 'no one' seems to be pretty into you!" Hinata pointed out, nudging me in the shoulder.
I laughed and looked over to where Sasori stood with his friends. He caught my gaze and smiled before turning away. I saw one of his friends punch him in the arm, nod in my direction and start laughing with him.
Then I saw Sasuke.
Sasuke Uchiha, the most popular boy in school who could have any girl he wanted, looked absolutely heartbroken after seeing me, one of the most hated girls in school, with another boy.
3. Unacceptable Elevators
The rest of the day was uneventful. Sasuke never came up to me in any of my lessons or at second break. I found it strange actually. For a second I started to worry about him and wonder what had made him so distant, but I pushed that thought out of my head because worrying about him meant I actually cared about his feelings.
After school I went home and did my homework as usual, had dinner with my parents which was awkward as ever, before I ran back upstairs to get ready to go to the movies with Ino, Sai, and this mystery hottie Sai had picked out for me. If he wasn't good looking I'd have to have a good talk with Sai afterwards. I was just reapplying mascara since I hadn't done that since this morning before school, when Ino pulled up in front of my house and her car horn blared out. I grabbed my bag which had my wallet and phone in and ran down the stairs and out the front door before my parents could say I wasn't allowed to go out.
"Ready?" Ino asked me as I fastened my seatbelt.
"You bet." I laughed. "If this 'friend' of his isn't hot, I'll have to shoot Sai."
"Shoot Sai, I shoot you." She said.
"Shoot me and I'll come back and haunt you."
"That's a bit mean." She muttered.
"So is shooting me!"
"So is shooting Sai!"
"Hey! It'll be his fault for bringing along an ugly friend!" I told her.
"What if his friend is hot?" She asked.
"Then I won't shoot him, duh." I said cheekily as Ino pulled into a parking spot right next to the front of the cinema.
"Are you sure this isn't disabled parking, Em?"
"Yeah! Ichecked first, idiot." She told me.
"Ok! Ok! I'm only making sure you don't get a parking ticket!"
"I won't, trust me."
We got out of the car and walked into the cinema to find Sai waiting in line for the tickets. We skipped through and stood with him, which got us some dirty looks from other people in the line but we didn't really care.
"Hello gorgeous," He smiled, wrapping his arms around Ino's waist and kissing her lightly on the lips.
She smiled back. "How's school?"
"Boring as ever," He laughed. "Still no boyfriend, Sakura?"
"Actually, yes! He's lovely!" I told him, getting an odd look from Ino.
"Really? Can't wait to meet this guy." Sai said.
"Me either!" I smirked.
"...Still no boyfriend, then." He guessed.
"We'll just have to wait and see until your friend gets here." I laughed.
"He'll be here soon." He promised me as we walked into cinema 3 where the movie was being showed.
"He better be, I'm only here because I was told I wouldn't be the third wheel!"
"You won't be," Sai laughed, showing me the tickets. "They gave us four tickets but we'll be seperated."
"So if this friend of yours doesn't turn up I'll be a loner." I stated.
"He'll come, Sakura."
"Fine! I guess I'll have to trust you then."
"You will." He smiled and gave me my ticket. Ino and I walked in together and she sat in the seat next to me until Sai came in, who was waiting outside for his friend with their tickets. The lights dimmed while Sai was still outside, so Ino ran over to their seats to make sure no one took them and never ended up coming back. The movie had just started when my "date" joined me.
"Have a good afternoon, Sakura?"
I turned around to see Sasuke Uchiha walking down the stairs and sit next to me.
"You can't be serious." I said. "You're Sai' friend?"
He smiled and shrugged.
"Looks like you'll be watching this movie by yourself then." I muttered, standing up and walking out of the dark room into the second floor lobby.
"Come watch the movie, Sakura." Sasuke said as he fell in step with me. "Just as friends."
"Nothing with you is ever just as friends, Sasuke."
"Come on, Sakura. It'll be fun." He tried convincing me again.
"I didn't want to watch the movie anyway. Sai is never good at choosing." I told him.
"What do you wanna do then?" He asked me in earnest.
"Go home." I snapped.
"Ino gave you a lift, right?"
I nodded.
"So you have no way of getting home. Unless I drop you there, that is."
I groaned. "I suppose I have no choice, right?"
He smiled. "Right. Come on."
He went to grab my hand but I jerked away. He brushed it off and we walked over to the elevator and waited for it to get to our level before hopping in.
I pressed the ground floor button and the elevator started to move downwards.
"This is the first and last time I'm being seen in public with you outside of school." I told him.
"I don't doubt that for a second." He winked.
The elevator shuddered and stopped, but the doors didn't open and something clattered above us. The light in the elvator went out next. I looked at Sasuke in the dim light, who had a perplexed look on his face, then to the doors and pressed the button to open them. They still didn't work.
"You've got to be kidding me." I said under my breath.
"What?"
"It looks like we're stuck." I announced.
"You're kidding."
"Do I look like I'm joking, Sasuke? Does it look like I want to be stuck in here? With you of all people?" I snapped.
He looked at the floor.
I sighed and sat down at the wall opposite him.
"I'm sorry." I muttered. "That was mean."
"You don't have to apologise. Haven't you heard 'treat others how you want to be treated'?"
"Are you implying that your an asshole to me because I hate you?" I asked sceptically.
He shook his head slightly. "I'm an asshole to you so you're allowed to be a bitch to me." He said. "It's only fair."
"You act like you hate me all the time... or you just like winding me up." I said slowly. "Ino doesn't think you hate me, though."
"What does Ino think?" He asked, sitting down against the wall.
"Ino has this utterly stupid theory that you like me." I rolled my eyes.
"Well I don't hate you if that's what she means." He pointed out.
I shook my head. "She thinks that you like like me."
He went quiet. I wondered what that was supposed to mean.
"Why didn't you talk to me after ancient history?" I asked him, giving in and showing that I was partially worried; he usually talked to me every period and fought with Ino and Hinata to get the seat next to me... but he hadn't after lunch. The only thing I could think of that had happened was when I bumped into Sasori - literally. Was it possible that he was jealous of something that didn't even exist?
In the dim light I saw him lean his head back against the wall in defeat. He ignored my question.
"Look at me, Sasuke." I said sharply.
He did.
"Why didn't you talk to me today after ancient history?"
"You have a boyfriend. I respect that. And as long as your happy, even if its not with me - hell, even if its with someone I hate like him... than I can live with that, Sakura. But if he hurts you, I swear to god..." He trailed off at the end, not finishing his sentence.
I laughed slightly under my breath. "Today was the first time I've seen Sasori Sajuni in my life, Sasuke. I tripped over and he fell with me. That's all. Nothing happened."
"He likes you though. I can tell by the way he looks at you."
"Well I don't like him."
"That's what you always said about me." He whispered sadly.
I didn't have an answer to that. This was a new side of Sasuke - one I had never seen before.
One I might actually like.
"I like this side of you." I said quietly after a while.
He closed his eyes and leant his head back against the wall again.
"That doesn't change the fact that under any other circumstance you hate me. Or the fact that Sasori likes you. Not only that, but he has every little thing in common with you, and I have nothing. Nothing at all!" He said quickly.
"Why do you care so much? So what if someone else likes me and has everything in common with me? So what if you don't? So what if you're the most popular guy in school? I can date who I want. I can't change who I am, and neither can you." I told him sharply.
"You don't understand, do you?" He burst out.
His outburst took me by surprise and I didn't answer.
He shook his head. "Of course you don't." He said quietly. "You think I want to be the most popular guy in school? You think I want to have pathetic little girls running around trying to get my attention every second of the day? You think I want to have nothing in common with you?"
I looked at the ground.
"I hate being the popular guy. I hate those girls who are always trying to get my attention." He told me. "...The girl I like doesn't even have to try. We may have nothing in common, but I don't care. She's all I want... and all I can't have. She's the most beautiful girl in the world."
I was quiet for a while.
"Then why are you telling me this? Tell her. She deserves to know." I said finally.
He laughed humorlessly. "You still don't get it, do you?"
I looked at him in perplexity.
"That girl is you, Sakura."
And then the doors opened. Thank god I didn't have to put up with him any longer. Especially now he turned our conversation awkward.
"I'll see you at school." I told him as I walked away.
"Sakura!" He called out.
I didn't want to turn around. I wanted to keep walking and pretend that we had never had that conversation. But I turned around anyway.
"I thought you wanted a lift home?" He asked me from across the lobby.
"I'll walk." I told him. He called out my name again, but this time I didn't look back.
