Chapter 1: Meeting Between Our Prince and Princess
There she was, a girl at the age of eighteen, second year in the best college in Konoha. She was home for the summer. She was sitting on her chair legs crossed politely, hands folded on her lap. She was wearing the most beautiful of clothing. A knee length pure silk white dress with spaghetti straps on her shoulders. Her unique long pink hair was done up in a perfect bun with glittering clips. There was a sweet smile across her face as she nodded and agreed with her parents. It was the life anyone would have wished for; a big house, money, and a lot of fancy clothes, but not Sakura, nope. She hated it all. She hated being slightly richer then everyone else. Her parents think there the most superior because they have slightly more money, news flash it's the twenty-first century.

"Sakura, be polite and finish all your food, you'll look like a slop out in public." Sakura's mother, who had a lighter shade of pink hair then Sakura but the same beautiful emerald eyes as her. Sakura smiled.
"Of course mother, I never want to embarrass you." Sakura smiled sweetly that could have fooled everyone but her and her best friend Ino Yamanaka. Both of them knew the smile was fake. Inside she was screaming to be free. Her parents wanted her to be the most perfect daughter of all, because there slightly richer. They never wanted to be embarrassed in front of everyone.
"I'm done mom, I'm going to go visit Ino." Sakura said standing and pushing in her chair. Her mother nodded and she walked gracefully up to her room. When she got up to her room she undid her uncomfortable bun and took off all the stupid silky clothes. She opened her closet and pulled out a stash of ordinary clothes and picked an outfit from it. She took out a light pink t-shirt and a pair of faded jeans. Sakura let her pink hair flow down her back and headed out the door, avoiding the kitchen hence her parents would have a fit after seeing what she was wearing. She ran over to Ino's house which was not far from hers and rang the bell. Sure enough it was answered by the blonde girl.
"Hello Ino-pig, want to go shopping with me?" Sakura asked Ino who was taking the curls out of her long golden colored hair and smiled.
"Of course, what do you think I do in my spare time?" Ino laughed and let Sakura in while she finished putting on her make-up and picking the right outfit. Ino was the complete opposite of Sakura. Ino liked the fact of being rich, of being a bit more superior that others. Unlike Sakura, Ino always wears designer clothes and make-up and yet they still happen to be the best of friends.
"Let's go and get some coffee first shall we forehead girl?" Ino said linking her arms with Sakura who nodded even though she didn't want any and headed to the closest coffee shop they could find. They ended up going to one of Konoha's common coffee shop. When they entered the whole place was packed with people, especially girls giggling and glancing quickly at the coffee counter.
"Wow, I never knew this many girls enjoy coffee." Ino said looking around to see that almost the whole store was seated with girls and a few guys trying to get the girls attention that was not quite working since the girl's eyes seem to be locked on a particular someone. Ino and Sakura made there way to the counter to order.
"What I can get for you today?" Sakura and Ino mouth dropped. They both have never heard a voice so…hot before. They stared at the boys back and his unusual raven colored chicken butt hair cut. He slowed turned around and Sakura and Ino were even more shocked seeing his mysterious onyx colored eyes and his ever so perfect face. Every girl in the store swooned and giggled. The boy had a very unpleasant face on after hearing that.
"Hi…" Ino started to say putting her flirty face on. Sakura sighed and shook her head. She stood there and got ready to watch the show.
"What can I get you?" The boy asked again rather rudely. Ino was a bit taken backed by his tone but decided to keep on flirting.
"I would like just a plain old couple of coffee, and oh hold the sugar I want to put that in myself, thanks." Ino said giving the boy a quick wink and walked away. The boy rolled his beautiful midnight colored eyes and started making Ino's coffee. Sakura walked over to the counter and started to look at the menu, and catching fast glimpses of the very hot boy. He turned around just when Sakura was staring at him. Sakura looked away quickly avoiding his gaze.
"Do you want something too?"
"No, but thank you um…" Sakura said looking at his dark blue t-shirt trying to find a name tag so she could address him properly.
"Sasuke," the boy said to Sakura who gasped and smiled not one of her fake smiles, but a real smile from the heart.
"Thank you for asking Sasuke-kun." Sakura smiled at Sasuke who nodded and turned back to making Ino's coffee. Sakura looked around trying to find her blonde friend and saw her near a corner flirting with a boy with a pineapple hair cut. Sasuke turned to face Sakura but followed her gaze to Ino.
"You're friend is annoying."
Sakura took her gaze away from Ino and looked into Sasuke's eyes for the first time. She had to shake her head slightly to avoid being lost in them.
"Why do you say that?"
"Let me guess she's one of those richer people who think she can get everything she wants right?" Sasuke asked Sakura who was surprised that Sasuke could tell so easily, well she couldn't blame him, it wasn't that hard looking at Ino with her designer clothing.
"You don't like the rich people?" Sakura asked taking the fixed coffee from Sasuke saying she will give it to Ino. Sasuke's mouth tugged into a slight scowl.
"No, I don't, they just seem like there ungrateful people who hate on the so called "poor" people. What's the damn difference?"
Sakura thought about it for a moment, she was thinking about how her parents never wanted her to talk to anyone but rich people never wanted her to dress like anything but a rich person. Now that Sasuke mentioned it, she realized that he was right. What was the difference between people who have less money and people who have more? Sure Sakura was considered one of the "richer" people, but Sasuke didn't need to know did he? Sakura thought about telling him she was one of those "rich" people, but held back because this is her first time making a friend who doesn't know she is slightly richer and usually when people find out they fake a friendship with her, just to get benefits with her money.
"You're right, what's the big difference. I think you shouldn't judge someone by how much money they have but how kind they are and how they treat everyone else don't you think Sasuke-kun?" Sakura said beaming; at least someone had the same idea she did. Sasuke 'hned' for his response.
"Is that why you already hate Ino?"
"Who?" Sasuke said. Sakura slapped her forehead forgetting that she hadn't told him her name, strange… usually Ino introduces herself, especially to such a hottie.
"Oh sorry, my blonde friend that ordered the coffee, you already dislike her?" Sakura asked Sasuke who looked at Ino who was still having a tight chat with that pineapple head. He was about to answer when a crowd of girls rushed up to the counter.
"Sasuke, please go out with me?"
"Sasuke you're so cool!"
"Sasuke I love you!"
"Sasuke marry me!!"
Sakura looked at all the girls that were all over a very annoyed Sasuke. Sakura looked at all the desperate girls and shook her head. Sure Sasuke was one of the hottest guy she has ever met, but that doesn't mean she's that desperate.
"Would you guys leave me alone for once?" Sasuke said shoving the girls who were trying to climb over the counter. Sakura sighed and decided to help the poor guy out.
"HEY," Sakura yelled as all the girls took there attention away from Sasuke and to the pink haired girl sitting on the chair with an angry look on her face. "Back away from him, and no one gets hurt."
"Who do you think you are, you don't own Sasuke." A girl with must I say really ugly red hair that was cut quite unevenly wearing the sluttiest clothes Sakura had ever laid eyes on. A red tube-top that shows her, pretty much flat chest and a black skirt that was way to short.
"Well either do you guys so stop treating him like your play toy, he told you to leave him the hell alone so why don't you listen to him?" Sakura said getting furious. She didn't even know why she was getting so worked up over this boy that she just meant ten minutes ago, but she knew what these pathetic girls were doing was wrong.
"What if we don't want to?" The girl with uneven red hair said to Sakura who looked disgusted. She cracked her knuckles loudly and scowled at the redhead who jerked back a bit.
"If you think he 'loves' you do you think he would be telling you to get away? You're a bunch of pathetic losers that only like him because he's hot. What if he is hot? Do you guys even know him? Do you guys ever talk to him? Try to understand why he wants you girls away from him?" Sakura said looking from one girl to another who was deep in thought about why they have been chasing the raven-haired boy around.
"That's what I thought, if you really like him then let him do as he wish, I mean if he's happy then so are you right?" Sakura said cooling down. The girls nodded and apologized to Sasuke and walked off except the stupid redhead.
"Who do you think you are?"
"I'm Sakura Haruno, and you?" Sakura said glaring at the girl.
"Karin, nice to meet you Sakura, just because you think your Sasuke's girlfriend standing up for him like that, doesn't mean you are. You better watch yourself, pinkie." Karin said and turned on her heel and stormed out of the store. Everyone was watching the scene and Sakura turned around and blushed furiously, embarassed. Sasuke watched Sakura turn redder and redder.
"Thanks, Sakura Haruno."
"What kind of man are you? Why don't you stand up to those girls? You just let them crawl all over you and let them stalk you? Man up would you?" Sakura snapped at Sasuke who was taken back but Sakura's yelling. Sakura realized she went a little to hard on the boy and took deep breathes calming herself down.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to yell at you, I understand there girls it would be wrong for a guy to pick on a girl." Sakura said smiling again to a very puzzled Sasuke. She seemed some what strange to him seeing that she was mad just a moment ago and now smiling like nothing was wrong.
"I'm not a wimp if that's what you're trying to say."
"I never said you were, I'm just saying that if you hit them you could possible be reported to the police for harassing a girl, and the police will what-so-ever not listen to your story about the girls stalking you and all, so it's totally understandable."
"Whatever, I've been dealing with them for years now, so I guess I'm use to it, even if I hate it there's nothing I can do about it."
"Well Sasuke-kun, why don't you get a girlfriend?" Sakura asked the raven haired boy who narrowed his eyes and looked at her suspiciously. Sakura saw this and laughed.
"When I say girlfriend I'm not talking about a weird, dorky girl with pink hair like me. Maybe someone like my friend Ino?" Sakura said shrugging her shoulders. Sasuke's face immediately twisted up in disgust. He would have rather chose Sakura then that rich little want it all Ino. Sakura saw this and slapped her forehead again; she forgot what they had just talked about earlier.
"Sorry, I didn't realize I said that, I'm sorry Sasuke-kun. I hope you're not mad at me! Oh man what if you are, what do I do? Um…" Sakura said half to herself and half to Sasuke who had a very small smile on his face.
"You're a strange one Sakura Haruno." Sakura looked at the half smiling boy and smiled along with him. Seeing from his facial expression it doesn't seem like he was mad at her.
"So now that you know my full name, what is yours?"
"Sasuke Uchiha."
"Oh, so do you want me to call you Uchiha-san…or Uchi-kun?" Sakura said thinking of a right way to call her new friend. Sasuke once again gave a small smile and a chuckle, which was certainly not common.
"Sasuke is fine."
"Okay then Sasuke-kun, you can call me whatever you wish too." Sasuke smirked at what Sakura had just said. For some strange reason this pink haired girl gave Sasuke the temptation to play around with her.
"So is it okay if I call you annoying, strange, weird?"
"Well…if that's what you really think of me, then fine. But it doesn't seem quite fair seeing that I called you by your real name." Sakura pouted cutely.
"But you're the one who told me that I can call you whatever I wish and I wish to call you…annoying." Sasuke's smirk grew bigger. Sakura sighed and dropped her head slightly. Sure she had been called annoying a million times before, but something about Sasuke calling her that made her sad. Sasuke realized he went a little too far and felt guilty.
"I was just kidding…Sakura." Sakura perked up after hearing Sasuke say her name in that, calm, sexy tone of his. She blushed light pink and tried to keep a smile from spreading on her face.
"Hey…you guys have donuts here! I didn't realize that, uh can I get one?" Sakura said changing the subject while avoiding Sasuke's eyes afraid she might faint from looking at him. Sasuke sighed and shook his head and half smiled at how random this girl seems to be. She was not like any of the other girls he had met, she was different. She didn't cling on to him the moment she laid eyes on him. She was weird, but cute at the same time. She was so pure and innocent like…like a princess.
"So about the whole girlfriend situation, you should find one to hold back all the fangirls you know?" Sakura said regaining her composure and taking the chocolate sprinkle donut from Sasuke.
"I don't think so." Sasuke said returning to his emotionless face.
"Why not? I mean you're funny, nice, I think, and hot…an-" Sakura stopped herself from getting any further. She clasped her hand over her mouthr ealizing too late what she had said. Her face turned bright red and looked away trying to erase her existence from the store. Sasuke on the other hand was in half shock at what he just heard. Did she just say he was hot? He felt his cheeks getting slightly warming and looked away. An Uchiha never, I mean never blushes. What was the big deal, he was called hot everyday by dozen and dozens of girls, why did he blush when Sakura said it? Both we're in silence for a few awkward moments.
"Sakuraaaaa, let's get going I want to hit the mall now!" Ino said rushing to Sakura's side. "Sakura, are you okay? Your face is all red, are you sick?" Sakura jumped at how Ino was not helping the cause at all.
"Y-yeah, I-I'm fine, hit the mall? Okay let's go now, Um...good-bye Sasuke-kun, it was nice meeting you!" Sakura said handing Ino her cup of coffee and grabbing her arm, avoiding Sasuke's eyes and rushed out of the store. Sasuke watched Sakura leave and smiled faintly.
"Bye Sakura, it was nice meeting you too." He thought to himself.
Sakura and Ino were a fair distance away from the coffee shop and Sakura had calmed down. She felt her cheeks cooling off and sighed in relief.
"What was that all about? You got his name? How did you do that Sakura, you have to tell me what happened!" Ino said throwing a fit about how she wasn't the one to get his name and Sakura was. "By the way Sakura, are you planning to eat that donut? The chocolate is starting to melt." Ino said pointing to the half melted chocolate sprinkle donut. Sakura smiled.
"I forgot to pay him the money for my donut."
Star-Chan: How did you like it? Sorry if it sucked and sorry if there was any grammar errors/spelling errors, I admit I absoultly suck with grammar, and I have typo issues. I thought it wasn't as interesting as I thought it would be...but I tried my best. I tried to keep Sasuke in character, but everyone knows it's so hard to make the Uchiha romantic while being his semi-emotionless self! So Sorry if he was out of character. Yes Karin is in this story...hate her? So do I.
Please Review and tell me what you think! :) thank you!
