I walked down the hallways in silence, thinking about the Algebra mid-term I'd be taking next period. I was reviewing the formulas in my head, and I wasn't paying attention to where I was going. Suddenly, I bumped into something hard, and fell down on my butt. I looked up top see the outstretched hand of a cute boy I've never seen before.
"Sorry." I muttered as I took it. I got a chance to look at him clearly. He was really cute. He had black hair and a tall frame. He wore no expression, but what caught me most were his eyes. Those dark charcoal eyes that seemed never ending deep.
I was about to introduce myself when he suddenly walked away from me without a word. I frowned. Well that was rude. It's not like I purposely bumped into him.
I shook my head a little, trying to forget about the encounter. But no matter how hard I tried, those never ending eyes stayed in my head.
I failed the mid-term that day.

-Two days later-
I was in the library, looking for a book to use on a project. I knew exactly the book I wanted, but was having trouble finding it in the middle of the other one thousand books that were in here.
After about ten more minutes of searching, I finally spotted the book. I reached my hand to grab it, only to touch something cold and soft. I looked to my left to see the boy that I had bumped into in the hallway. I eyes widened a little in shock, but I quickly retained my composure.
"Oh, it's you." I said.
"Hn"
Hn? Is that even a word?
Suddenly, he grabbed the book, and thrusted it into my hands. After that, he turned and walked away without another word.
"Wait!" I called after him
He stopped, but did not turn his body around. I frowned. This guy needs some manners.
"Um…who are you?" I asked in a shy voice.
He didn't say anything immediately, so I assumed that he wasn't going to answer. However, just as I was about to tell him off, he answered, "It's common courtesy to introduce yourself before you ask someone else you they are."
I was speechless. It was the first time I had heard him talk. He had a deep, monotone voice.
"…Haruno Sakura."
He finally turned around, "Uchiha Sasuke," only to continue walking away again. However, before he totally disappeared, I heard him say, "I'll be needing that book in a couple days, so hurry up."
I finished the book that night.

-Five days later-
"Just go up to him, Sakura." My best friend Ino urged me.
I hesitated, but it was now or never. It was the Friday and the project was due on Monday. It was now or never.
I took a deep breath and headed across the cafeteria. I stopped in front of him, where he sat eating a sandwich, alone. He didn't even look up as I approached him, but I knew that he noticed me.
"Here," I said. I handed the book to him. He took it without a word. I was beginning to feel uncomfortable with the silence. Maybe he was mad at me for having with me for so long.
"…Sorry, I couldn't get it to you sooner."
"Hn"
"…Do you think you'll be able to finish the project in time?"
He sighed and got up to throw out his trash. "I could finish it in one day."
I nodded. "Well, I'll see you around."
I walked back to my table without looking back.

"Uchiha Sasuke? Oh I've heard of him. He's the new transfer student from Oto."
"I hear he was the star basketball player back in his old school."
"Awesome, can't wait to see him in action. Do you think he joined the basketball club?"
I knew eavesdropping on other people's conversations was rude, but I needed to find out more about Sasuke. Now I know that he's a transfer student, which explains why I've never seen him around before that incident in the hallway.

"Oi, Sakura, you don't happen to be crushing on Sasuke, are you?"
I stopped dead in my tracks at the question Ino had just asked me. Taking my silence as I yes, Ino grinned.
"Soooo, when are you gonna ask him out?"
"A-ask h-him ou-t, w-wha-at are you t-talk-king ab-bout?"
She raised an eyebrow that meant You're kidding me, right?
"I barely know the guy." I said.
"Who cares? You've been staring at him non-stop since he got here."
"Have not!"
"Yeah, right."
"I'm serious!"
"Suurrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeee."
"Ino!"
"Hey, all I'm trying to say is that Uchiha's popular, so if you do like him, you better act fast."
"……"
