A/N- The first chapter is going to be in Sakura's POV. I will change them throughout the story. Oh yah, even though Sasuke is a total imbecile in the beginning, I'm PRETTY sure the main pairing will still be Sasusaku. Yes, I will make Sasuke pay for his idiotic actions, happy?!
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto but IF I did, Sakura would have beaten the shit out of the girls that teased her in the beginning.
If only he hadn't been so charming
If only I hadn't been so foolish
If only I didn't fall for him
If only he wasn't the stupid arrogant bad boy in every single love story
If only…
Chapter 1
First Mistake

"Will you go out with me, Sakura Haruno?" he asked, biting his lip in worry that the beautiful blossom was going to reject him. I raised an elegant eyebrow in surprise and confusion. This wasn't possible, the hottest guy in Konoha was asking me out, and he looked nervous. Haha, that's cute; like that would ever happen. "Umm, Sakura?" he asked hesitantly. My long slender fingers wrapped around the edge of my loose tank top and I clutched tightly, as if it was the only thing keeping me from waking up from this dream. Meh, might as well make the best of this dream before I return to the cruel precarious realm called reality.
"I would love to, Sasuke Uchiha." I replied quietly and I swear, I saw men swooning over my voice. Apparently, I've been told, my hushed voice sounds like a purr…. Crazy men. Sasuke released the tension on his lips and his signature smirk melted onto his face.
"Tomorrow at 6:00 P.M. then?"
"Sure, but where are we going? I want to dress appropriately."
"It's a secret, Sa-ku-ra." He taunted before he kissed me softly on the cheek and vanished. I know I should be mad at him for leaving so suddenly but, god, who could be mad at THE Sasuke Uchiha? I lightly blushed and turned around, heading back to my house. I could hear the male villagers' "whispers" about me and Sasuke. I rolled my bright emerald eyes in annoyance since I knew gossip never missed going to Ino first. She was going to pounce on me and bombard me with stupid questions. As I turned a corner, a bright yellow blob flashed in front of me.
"Oh no he didn't! Please tell me the rumors aren't true!" one of my best friend begged, looking at me with his sparkling cerulean eyes. My tinkling laughter echoed across the alleyway and I sighed. I was surprised Naruto beat Ino to interrogate me. Speaking of the she-devil, Ino lept off a rooftop and landed right next to the hyper-active blonde. She grasped my shoulders and shook me violently.
"AHHHHHHHH! You are going out with, wait for it, the hottest and most wanted (not in a bad way) man in Konoha!" She screamed into my ears. Innocent wandering villagers, who weren't aware of the news, whipped their heads around in astonishment. I had never dated anyone before, well mostly because Kakashi, Sasuke, and Naruto scare the shit out of them before they can form a word.
"Ino, shut the fuck up! I don't want the entire freakin village to know!"
"Please girlfriend, the whole village already knows and weird rumors have already started." Ino scoffed.
"…what rumors?" I growled through my teeth.
"Well, heh, no idea!" she chuckled nervously, fiddling with her fingers. I cracked my knuckles and advanced a step towards Ino. Not only was I known for beauty, I was popular for my temper and strength. She threw up her hands in surrender and blurted out,
"Somepeoplethinkyousleptwithhimandgothimtoaskyouou t!" I ran over the message in my head and I snapped.
"WHAT?! I did not fucking sleep with him, he asked my out first anyways!" I yelled in frustration.
"I know right! I would go help you beat those sluts up but I gotta go home, Shika is waiting for me. Bye and have a good time with…Sasuke-kun!" she purred and giggled. Her long blonde hair whipped around and swatted me right in the face as she took off.
Two Weeks from the Date
"Stop it, Sasuke!" I gasped through breaths as he tickled me and we rolled down a hill. We somehow stopped at the bottom before rolling into a beautiful lake that was placed right beside us. As I caught my breath from his tickle-attack, he smirked and I melted inside. Before I could react, he blew a breath in my ear and I flinched; he so knew I was sensitive there! The light air traveled through my ears, giving me the shivers and the giggles. He repeatedly "assaulted" me and I cried out too late,
"NO, DON-" SPLASH! I rolled into the icy lake and the freezing water caused me to gasp. I surfaced again to see Sasuke chuckling on, DRY LAND! I smirked evilly and extended my hand out. I slowly let my hand creep onto his as I seductively latched onto his hand. Before he could pull away, I used my free hand to push off the grass and swung him across the air. Dragging him with my hand, I threw him into the water with me and looked away as a huge splash took place. It showered lightly onto me and Sasuke surfaced after a couple seconds, looking ridiculous with his wet ruined hair. He glared at me playfully and we had a full-on water fight that afternoon in the pond. The water didn't seem so cold when he was inside with me somehow. As we both pulled ourselves back onto the lush green grass, we let the blazing Sun, dry our bodies as we talked like we had no care in the world. His last things he said to me that afternoon was,
"My biggest mistake was not asking you out earlier. If I did, I could have been with you so much longer and I could have found my reason to live earlier." I smiled so brightly and my heart felt like it was going to explode. "I want you to know that, I love you, for eternity." At that second, my walls burst open and happy tears streamed down my face. I opened up to him, I trusted him, and I let him into my heart.
And that, my friends, was my first mistake.
A/N- HeyHey! Sorry this chapter is short but I just want to introduce the story first. I'm slowly going to develop the plot and things will probably move faster from here. Hope you liked it and please comment on like how to help me improve! (Since I can't give this to my English teacher and ask her for suggestions… that would be awkward.)
