A/N: This is my first FanFic so please give me lots of comments. Tell me if I didn't get the grammar right. So this story here is a SasuSaku so just tell me if you like it. If you don't well, it is fine, I'll still continue it. I got this idea after reading a story from a friend. So here's the summary (AU): Sakura is a rich popular teenage girl who had just graduated from high school. What will she do now that her mother left her broke and all alone because of an argument? Will she be able to last this long without money? Sasuke, who lived his previous high school life as a nerd who is bullied by a lot of his classmates and humiliated by Sakura, is now the heir to the Uchiha Electronics Company. What will he do now that fate leads them to meet each other again? Will he take his revenge? Or will he help her?

The Twist of Fate

Prologue
Sakura's P.O.V.
My name is Sakura Haruno, 15 years old, a graduate student from Konoha High. I was used to living a life with my mother giving me whatever I want and not being told what to do. She always lets me go on shopping sprees and hang out with my friends. Those were the best nights I had. But that night last month wasn't the best night I had. Ever.
Mango, Guess, Chanel, Prada, Louis Vuitton, Fendi, Donna Karan... I hate to say good bye but I have to leave you!!! All that I can bring is my chucks. I just packed a few clothes and belongings since I don't know where or what kind of place I'm going to. As if I can wear stilettos wherever that place is... I still can't believe I'm doing this. I still can't believe why this is happening to me. Why? WHY?! Do I really have to leave my world of royalty? Not royalty as in royal but as the spoiled princess that I am. I so hate this.
[Flashback]
I was feeling tipsy when I arrived home at midnight because I had just come from the graduation party. As I walked in the living room, I saw my mom waiting for me, which is a very unusual scenario.
"Mom, did I break the curfew? Why are you still up this late? Were you waiting for me?"
"Yes, I was waiting for you because I've got some great news!"
"Really?! Spill."
"Our Wave visa application has been approved! We're leaving in a month! Isn't it wonderful?!"
Shock was evident on my face, "What?!"
"Then I will acquaint you to some eligible bachelors that I know over there!"
"I am not going with you! I'm going to have my college life here!!!"
"Sakura, honey, I always do everything that you say! And I want you to listen to me this time."
I walked out, like I always do when things didn't get my way.
"If you act like that make sure that you can live by yourself here, young lady. Because you won't be getting anything from me, not even a cent! You are so hard headed!"
[End of Flashback]
I stopped by the living room, enjoying my last few moments in my castle as a princess. 'Should I go? –Sigh– I'm still thinking if I should change my mind. But I have to do this! I need to prove to my mom that I can live without her! I've been living like a princess for fifteen years! This time, I want to prove myself.' Fully decided, I walked out the door. 'Whoops! Gotta check my wallet! Hmm... Thirty thousand dollars, I think this is enough money to start living alone. Good bye mom! I'm sure I'll be a successful person once we meet again!'
Sasuke's P.O.V.
[Nightmare]
I'm not a party going person. So why am I here in a club? Right, it's my graduation party. All I do is sit here in a corner, all alone, watching people have fun. Ugh, I feel like a total loser. Well, I always felt that way so I guess it's no big deal. I noticed a couple approach me and started wishing that I was part of the wall.
"Hey, Doofus! We need a thousand bucks; do you think you can give us some?"
'Great, the last thing I need is someone bullying me. I'm leaving this place.' I stood up and started to walk away until the guy called me.
"Oi! Where're you going? Come on man, we were just kidding."
"I'm leaving."
"Wait," the girl placed a hand on my shoulder, "before you go, let's play truth or dare."
She pulled me and her boyfriend to their group. I seated down and then they spun the bottle. Unfortunately the bottle pointed to me.
"Okay, what shall it be? Truth? Or dare?"
I stuttered, "D-d-dare...?"
"Oh, you're brave huh? Why not dance with Sakura Haruno?"
Everyone jeered, "Woooooooooo!!!"
They taunted me because they knew that I wouldn't be able to do it. 'I mean me? Dance with Sakura? That's impossible, more like preposterous. She's the prettiest, hottest, and the most popular girl in campus! Why on earth would a nerd like me dance with Sakura Haruno?' I stood up.
Someone pushed me, "Do it now."
And just like the idiot that I am, I walked towards Sakura.
I stammered, "S-sa-sakura? C-can you d-dance with me?"
She replied in a soft voice, "Dance..." she's drunk already, "With... you...?"
"Hahaha!!! This guy must be dreaming!" replied one of her friends. 'I hate these girls! Who do they think they are?! It's not their party!' Then again, even the hosts of their own parties can get humiliated.
She replied in a harsh tone, "I don't dance with losers. You know what? You're pissing me off."
–Splash– She threw vodka at my face. After that, I became the laughing stock of the party, my own party.
[End of Nightmare]
I woke up to the sound of my alarm clock.
"Whew!" I thought that night last month came back! I went down from my room. I really wanted to eat breakfast this minute.
My brother looked up from what he was reading, "Morning bro. How's your sleep?"
"Hn." I looked down.
"Nightmares about the bullies again?" he looked at me with a sarcastic smile.
"Uh... Yeah..." He stood up and patted my head.
"Don't worry about that. You won't be seeing them again. You've changed your look anyway so none of them would recognize you. You don't look like a nerd anymore so don't bother thinking about them."
"Really?"
"Yup."
"Uh, thanks." I sat down and began to eat. After eating three spoons of cereals, I asked him, "Where's dad?"
"He left an hour ago, went to work early. Oh, dad asked me to give this to you." He threw to me a key.
I caught it easily with my left hand. "I already have a car."
"That key is not for a car. It's for your own condo unit."
"Whoa. Thanks, again."
"Before I'd forget, I've started looking for your personal maid; I know that you can't maintain that condo unit alone."
I looked at him ridiculously, "A maid? I can maintain that unit by myself. You must be joking."
"I'm not. You need one since you can't even fix your room."
"I don't need one!"
"Yes, you do."
A/N: So what? Is it fine? Tell me. Oh and don't forget to review. The button's just down there. Wait for the first chapter, I don't really know when I can finish it, "A Job for the Jobless." See you soon! I'll be waiting for your review thunder!
