"God! I'm going to be late!" You shout as you run out of your house. You sigh in irritation. "I wish my stupid alarm clock hadn't broke..." You sigh. Suddenly, you run into someone, falling on your ass. "Owww!"

"Watch where you're going, Tokiko!" Sasuke Uchiha sneers. You look up at him, hate filling your eyes.

"What the hell, Sasuke! What are you doing here?" You question as you stand up, rubbing your soar ass. You've completely forgotten you're running late.

"Well, I was...uh...that is..." Sasuke stutters, looking everywhere but at you.

*He's acting so weird today. Is he sick or something?* You mentally question as you watch Sasuke glance at a nearby wall. You smirk.

"What's your problem?" Sasuke asks, noticing your smirk. He gives you a weird look.

"You want me to walk with you to the academy, don't you? Haha!" You smirk as you walk off in the direction of the academy.

"Hold on, Tokiko! I..." He shouts, but you're already skipping away. Sasuke bows his raven colored bangs, and walk after you.

*Why do I even bother? I bet she doesn't even feel the same way about me.* Sasuke says as he speeds up until he's toe-to-toe with you.

"About time you caught up. You're so slow, Uchiha!" You say, walking a little faster.

*And what's up with her calling me by my last name!...* Sasuke mentally questions, watching you.

*He's so quiet today...I wonder what he's thinking about.* You wonder, glancing back at him. You glance at his head. *Wow! Look at how perfect his hair is today!* You cover your mouth. *Did 'I' just say that?* You question, completely flabbergasted. You look down at the ground as the two of you walk the rest of the way to the academy. Once you enter the gates, you notice that your whole class is standing outside, watching the two of you. You stare back at them, annoyed.

"What?" You question.

"You two are late!" Iruka-sensei says as he walks towards them.

"Yeah, it was kinda my fault...my alarm clock broke." You say, scratching the back of your head, embarrassed.

"Then I suggest you get a new one." Iruka-sensei says, glancing at you. He walks over to Sasuke, giving him an evil eye. "And, what pray tell, is your excuse, THIS time, Uchiha Sasuke?" Iruka-sensei questions.

"..." Sasuke remains quiet as his attention is diverted. Iruka-sensei's eye twitches as Sasuke walks over to you, and the two of you walk over to the class, standing in your spots among them.

"Well, anyways, as I was saying. You will be taking your graduation exams at the end of the year, so, we will be focusing on what you need to know to graduate. Blah...blah...blah..." Iruka-sensei says, drowning on. You feel evil glares being shot your way from some of your classmates.

*Damn! What's their problem?* You wonder, glancing carefully over your shoulder to look at the culprits. You look aside of you, only to realize that Sasuke is still watching you. *Why is he there? And why is he staring at me. When we're in enough trouble already!* You question, glaring at him.

"What's your problem, Uchiha?" You question. His eyes widen as he looks away from you.

"Huh?" He looks back at you, confused.

*Don't tell me he didn't even notice he was watching me!* You mentally plead as an anime sweat drop falls down you head.

"Why are you looking at me?" You whisper. He turns his head.

"I wasn't staring!" Sasuke whispers. You look at him, amazed.

"Yes, you were. You have been for most of the class period so far!" You whisper back. He looks at you.

"Maybe you need to get your eyes checked, Yakura!" Sasuke whispers back, glaring at you.

"My eyes are fine, thank you." You whisper with a shrug. You turn your head, shaking you black hair.
