Author's Note: Hey guys I hope you enjoy the story you are about to read. It's my attempt at a SasuSaku Fic. It's a college AU…obviously.

DISCLAIMER: I Do NOT own Naruto or its characters (Let's thank Kishimoto for this). I'm simply a weirdo who loves anime and manga. If I was making money from this, I would probably be on some island somewhere sipping on some fruit drinks with a hot guy rubbing sunscreen lotion on my back.

Enough weirdness from me… Read and Review.

Chapter one.

There was one truth universally acknowledged by all who met him, Uchiha Sasuke was a dick.

It was as unbelievable as it was ridiculous how someone who said so little, managed to offend so many people.

In junior high school, he was the boy that every girl wanted to date and every guy hated because secretly they wanted to be him. He did not have any real friends. Let's face it, it is kind of hard being friends with a guy who makes you feel like an unnamed extra in your own life. He did however, have numerous admirers and one blonde boy who desperately tried to bring down his walls and wanted so much to be Sasuke's friend. If we are being honest, it would be safe to say that in some twisted way, the blonde and the raven really had been friends.

At the end of junior high, he left home without any goodbyes and that was the last that anyone heard of him.

Konoha University.

It was midday at Konoha University and as the sun illuminated the school grounds, the students felt like it was brightening up not only their day but also their futures.

In the halls of the University were many a students with their luggage and each was as excited about the year to come as the next.

This was not only going to be a new start for most but it was going to be a period in their lives when they would do the most growing up. A time when they would decide the kind of people that they wanted to be in society.

One girl was standing in her new room waiting for her roommate to show. The excitement and joy she felt could not be contained.

Her pink, shoulder length hair shone in the afternoon light. The rays of light peered through the open window and touched everything in the room, making it come to life.

She was on the phone with her very attached mother and as much as it was embarrassing her getting a phone call this early on, she was just as happy and grateful to have such loving and caring parents.

"Mom, seriously? It has just been 6 hours. I haven't even unpacked my stuff yet. How can you possibly miss me already?" Sakura Haruno's voice said to the woman on the other side of the line.

"I know that but it will just be so strange not having you at home with us. I can't believe it is your first year of college already." Her mother sniffed as she spoke.

"Mom, come on. Stop crying, I will be coming to visit as often as I can." Sakura said as she twirled her pink hair. "I have to go now, I think my roommate is about to come soon. I will keep in touch mom. I promise."

"Okay. And please be safe. I know how college is, remember to use a condom. I packed you a full box at the bottom of your suitcase. Ribbed" The woman on the other side said.

"Mom, geez! Stop! What the hell? You did not just do that." Sakura's face reddened. How could her mom be so free with her?

"Just looking out for my little girl." Sakura's mom said, "I love you."

"I love you too mom." Sakura was still hot with embarrassment and wanted to get off the phone call that had gone from sweet to awkward. "Bye mom."

After she was satisfied that her mother had heard her, Sakura hang up the phone and threw it on her new bed.

She was rather excited for her college life to begin. High school hadn't exactly been a walk in the park for her. High schoolers are mean and they never resisted teasing her about the colour of her hair.

This however was going to be a new start for her- a way to reinvent herself.

She couldn't contain the smile that formed on her face.

Walking over to one of her suitcases, she lifted it from the floor and carefully put it on her bed. She got out her beddings- a red duvet with matching pillow cases and blue bed sheets. After making the bed, Sakura moved to her other suitcase. She opened it and studied the contents. Her forehead pinched.

"I really need a wardrobe change." She said to herself.

Picking the folded clothes in heaps and putting them in the closet on her side of the room, she really hoped her roommate was not going to be a judgmental neat freak. When she reached the shoes at the bottom, she heard the door handle turn and her stomach got butterflies.

Her roommate entered and Sakura dropped the ankle boots held in her hands to the floor. Her jaw almost dropped to the floor too as she took in the lean figure of the blonde girl who had been her frenemy since forever.

"Forehead?!" the blonde standing at the door was just as shocked as Sakura.

"Come on, dear lord, what did I ever do to deserve this unfairness?" Sakura said as she bent over to pick up her boots. "Of all the sluts in the world, you had to be my roommate.

Sakura suddenly felt the walls getting smaller. This was supposed to be her time.

"This isn't exactly a picnic for me either." Ino said as she entered and closed the door.

"I thought you weren't even coming to this college. What happened?" Sakura asked as she continued to move her shoes from her suitcase to her small closet.

"Well, not that it's any of your business but my parents thought the University of Kiri was too far away and so I am stuck here with the rest of you losers."

"Ha, well what does that make you? You are here so I guess you are just as bad as the rest of us."

"Forehead, please, you can't compare yourself to me." she laid the suitcase she had been dragging behind her down and opened it. Ino then squatted to the floor, placed her hand in and showed Sakura one high heeled shoe with a bright red sole, "I wear Christian Louboutin, you wear God-doesn't-even-know-what."

Sakura hugged her blue pumps to her chest and smiled. Sakura wasn't poor. She was average. Ino was just…filthy rich.

"Say what you want pig, I am happy with my shoes." Sakura then stuck out her tongue. A bit immature but she didn't care. "Besides, money doesn't buy happiness."

"Said every poor person…ever."

"Oh shut up."

"You're only mad because I'm right. Mind you, I have 3 more suitcases coming." Ino said then started studying the room. "Wow! Could these dorms be any more archaic and nasty?"

"Hey, they are just fine. I kinda like it here already." Sakura said as she put the last of her shoes in the closet.

"Of course you do."

Suddenly Sakura wasn't so excited about college. With Ino as her roommate, she could only imagine the kind of noise and different men that the blonde will be bringing over.

"So are you going for that fresher's bash?" Ino asked.

"No! Do you have any idea what goes on at those parties?" Sakura shivered just thinking about it. She was excited about college, but not that excited.

"O-kay…square alert." Ino laughed, "If you maintain the same character you had in high school, you won't have any friends." She said matter-of-factly.

The pink haired girl had no response. She did after all want to reinvent herself. Maybe going for a party wouldn't be so bad. She would try out new things but nothing that would require her to change who she was.

Ino looked at her and laughed again.

"You were not seriously planning on being the book worm and insufferable know-it-all even in college, were you?"

"I am here pre-med, so no Ino, I was just planning on spending my days drinking and having sex with random hot guys." Sakura shook her head.

"Don't be cute. Sarcasm will only get you this far." Then Ino indicated just how much by measuring about 2cm with her thumb and index finger.

"And being a fun loving slut will get you STDs, so what's your point?" Sakura then slumped on her bed. This conversation was exhausting her.

Was this how all her days would be?

"My point is, college is…you know what, never mind. Just continue being your boring self." Ino finally gave up. You can drag a hobo to a shower but you can't make him take a bath.

"Glad we understand each other, pig."

"No wonder you have no boyfriend." The blonde said under her breath.

"What was that?" The emerald eyed Haruno raised herself off the bed and looked challengingly at her roommate.

"I said, I'm going to have a look around." And with that she left the room.

"This is gonna be a stressful year." Sakura dropped her face comically on her pillow and screamed out loud. Her screams muffled by the red polka dot soft pillow.

Male Dormitories, Konoha University.

"How the hell did you get into this college?" A surprised Kiba looked at the beaming blue-eyed blonde who had walked into the room that he was going to be sharing with Neji.

"What the hell Kiba?" Naruto closed the door quickly, "You want everyone to hear you? What if a cute girl was passing by?"

"If she went at out high school then I'm sure she knows that you are a clown, just like everybody else." Kiba said with a smile on his face, just as Naruto slept on his bed.

"Oh shut up." Naruto retorted, "Sup, Neji?" he said to the quiet Hyuga on the other side of the room. Neji just looked at Naruto and turned without even a word.

"Still the quiet serial killer type I see." Naruto teased, "Hey, Kiba you're being a crappy host. This is the part where you offer me a drink."

"Don't tell me what to do." Kiba said as he got out a football and threw it in the air before catching it.

"I see you still think you will be a pro football player." Naruto looked at the brown haired boy and a huge smile formed on his face.

"I see you are still a giant douche."

"Jerk!" Naruto said.

"Dumb ass!"

"Is this really what my college life is going to be like?" Neji shook his head from where he was sleeping on his side of the room, "listening to endless bantering and chatter from losers."

"Stop acting so cool, Hyuga." Kiba said as he pushed Naruto off the bed, "Get off!"

Naruto dropped to the floor on his butt and he flinched.

"Hey watch it. Not cool Kiba" Naruto said as he got up and rubbed his butt, "this is my best feature."

"Well, you were getting too comfortable, so don't blame me."

"Uggh" Neji said as he looked at the pair and then without a second look, he walked out of the room.

"What's his problem?" Naruto asked as he moved over to the bed that Neji had just vacated.

"The usual…a giant stick up his ass. Thinking he is better than everyone. So maybe not the best idea to be lying on his bed." Kiba said as he started throwing the football in the air and then catching it.

"I am not going to sit on the cold floor when there is a bed right here."

"Your funeral." Kiba laughed and continued playing with his football. "So who is your roommate anyway?"

"No idea. I just hope it isn't some creep who will be watching me sleep." Naruto said. In actual sense, he would be happy with anyone. Naruto wasn't picky when it came to friends.

"Like that can ever happen." Kiba laughed.

Naruto ended up laughing too. "It's college. Stranger things have happened."

"So are you going to that party everyone is talking about?"

"Obviously. I mean, who do you think you are talking to?" Naruto replied.

Fresher's bash.

The dance music was loud enough to be heard from the other side of the campus and students were drinking and dancing everywhere that Sakura turned. There were some daring people making out in plain view of everyone and some who had the decency to do it in dark corners. There was one particular couple that stuck out in Sakura's mind. The guy had the girl pinned against the cold wall with his calloused hand holding her lifted thigh. The sight of the girls face as the guy touched her breast made Sakura blush.

"You are seriously embarrassing me, forehead." Ino said as she walked beside the pink haired girl.

"What?" Sakura looked genuinely confused.

"What are you wearing?" she almost gagged when she looked at Sakura's outfit.

The blonde was in a mid-thigh high, blue flared skirt, a push up bra underneath her skintight top that made her cleavage look like every teenage boy's wet dream with black ankle boots and her hair worn silky straight. Sakura, on the other hand had opted for blue jeans, a white tank top and black pumps. Her pink hair was combed back with a red headband in it.

"Hey, you should just be glad I decided to come with you to this thing, pig." She got out her phone from her front pocket and put in on vibrate. "Besides, I am confident enough in my personality and wit that I don't need to show off my legs to be liked."

"Right, because the guys here care about that kind of stuff." Ino scoffed. "I mean at parties, hot guys always walk towards a boring looking girl and say 'hey miss personality, I saw your wit from across the room and I just had to come and say hi. Wanna dance?' yes that always happens."

"Oh shut up, queen slut!" Sakura said. "Some of us can still fell happy and complete even without a man in our life." But deep down Sakura knew that Ino had a point.

Sakura however, wasn't looking for a boyfriend. She had liked one guy ever since kindergarten and when she finally confessed to him in middle school, he had rejected her like the loser he probably thought she was.

Thinking about that made her blood boil.

Curse him and his good looks. She thought.

"Hey, Pinkette!' Ino was snapping her finger in front of her. "Earth to Forehead."

"What? Gosh, you are so annoying."

"I am not the one spacing out at a party." Ino answered back, "Anyway I was saying I'm going to look for a hot guy who will be getting me drinks. See you back at the dorm."

Sakura reached for Ino's hand "What?" she couldn't believe her ears.

"You are not going to leave me alone in this crowd." Sakura pleaded.

"Stop being weird and live a little." The blonde grabbed a red cup of beer from a boy nearby and smiled then winked, "here." She handed it to Sakura.

"No!" her response was firm.

"Take risks and have fun." Ino put the cup in the pink haired girl's hands and walked away.

"Ino, what the hell?!"

"See you back at the room!" the blonde called back and disappeared in the crowd of dancing and drinking students.

"This is not happening…this is not happening." Sakura kept muttering to herself, "That slutty pig, I will kill her. This is not happening."

Sakura decided then and there that she was going back to her room. This scene was not her type of thing. She felt as uncomfortable as a devout nun in a male strip club.

"I never should have listened to that blonde haired betrayer." Sakura almost cursed as she turned and bumped her head in a hard wall.

The drink in her hand spilled all over her white tank top and only made her look like the loser of a wet tee shirt contest.

She almost fell to the floor as she staggered for balance. The wall stilled her movement and prevented her from falling butt first, in an embarrassing heap, to the ground. Her nose was buried in the wall and she took it its scent.

Damn.

Sakura reached up to get more support and only ended up placing them on the most toned arms she had ever had the pleasure of touching. And yes it was a pleasure.

This was no wall.

This was a gym-going, amazing bicep-having, fall-stopping specimen of man. Not only did he feel good to touch but he smelt good too-despite the sweat and beer stench of the party. His smell intoxicated Sakura and she felt shame for thinking such dirty thoughts.

When she was sure that she was steady. She lifted her head so that she could voice her apology. What she found staring back at her made her heart jump in her chest and her breathing quickened.

She set her eyes upon familiar long, unruly raven hair that framed the even more familiar handsome face. Her emerald eyes connected with his stygian orbs that just drew Sakura in the more she looked into them.

"Sa-Sasuke?" Sakura said breathlessly as she felt her knees turn to jelly.

The raven looked at her straight on and then smirked.

This is not happening. Sakura felt the world spin. This is so not happening.
