I Hate You, I Love You

Chapter 1- Senior Year

"AAH! LOOK! IT'S SASUKE-KUN!"

"OMG, WHERE?"

"THERE! Black Mercedes!"

"Ohh, that's such a nice car! It's sexy, just like him!"

Oh boy.

Sasuke groaned inwardly as he pulled into the Konoha High parking lot. A crowd of girls, who seemed to be waiting for him, followed. Damn girls, couldn't they at least wait until he parked before pouncing on him?

"SASUKE!" Apparently not.

Sasuke got out of his car and tried to shrug off all the girls that suddenly clung to him like leeches. The overpowering smell of perfume, the fake little giggles, and the tight mini-skirts that these girls wore wanted to make him hurl. Honestly, he hadn't even been at school for five minutes and he already wanted to smash his face into a brick wall. He decided that this day could not get worse.

"OI! TEME!" And once again, he was wrong.

The spiky blonde head of his best friend, Naruto Uzumaki, tore through the crowd of fangirls (Sasuke was momentarily grateful) before throwing his arm around the shoulder of his best friend, promptly ignoring the Uchiha death glare that Sasuke was sending him.

"Teme! We've all been waiting for you!" Naruto exclaimed, pointing to a group of boys standing behind the crazy rabid fangirls. Sasuke glanced up and saw his long-time buddies- Shikamaru Nara and Kiba Inuzaka - shooting him amused looks. He gave them a curt nod, and then turned back to Naruto.

"If you do not get your arm off of me this instant, it's going to be broken."

Naruto laughed loudly. "As if you would ever do that to me!" But nonetheless, he backed up anyway. "Can you believe it's our final year, teme? Next year we'll be in university! We've got to make this year count, teme. Go to some wild parties and get some hot chicks, eh?" The blonde wiggled his eyebrows at Sasuke suggestively. Sasuke felt the urge to roll his eyes. As if Naruto would ever get a girl with his annoying personality. The only girl who seemed to have interest in the blonde was the Hyuuga heiress; but knowing her, she'd probably faint at the sight of her long-time crush.

"Speaking of hot chicks, have you seen the girls?" Naruto asked casually.

As if on cue, a light voice called out, "Hello, boys."

All heads turned to the three girls that just arrived, including the Uchiha's. The confident blonde girl with a big grin on her face ran and jumped into the arms of Shikamaru; the shy dark-haired girl turned bright red at the sight of Naruto (as expected); and finally, the lovely, lovely girl with the bubblegum pink locks.

The dark-haired boy's eyes trailed over her body, taking in the perfect curves, the long, long legs, and her flawless face. Her emerald green eyes sparkled and a small smile played on her pretty pink lips.

"Haruno," he said, a ghost of a smirk on his face.

"Uchiha," she retorted, smirking right back.

Despite the horrible morning he had when he first arrived, he felt his mood lighten.

This day could get better.

~*X*~

By then, all of the fangirls had left. They knew that with Haruno Sakura around, there would be no chances in getting the Uchiha prodigy.

Everyone knew that both people held each other's hearts, except for the two themselves.

~*X*~

Sakura wasn't dense. She wasn't as clueless as many thought. She knew that even though she and Sasuke argued and lashed out on each other all the time, there was also something more. It was something more than hate and dislike; but they always expressed it in hate.

She looked at the handsome boy standing before her. His jet black hair was styled as it always was (Sakura called it the Chicken-ass hairstyle that only someone like Sasuke could pull off) and his deep obsidian eyes lit up at the sight of her. A smirk was placed on his pale, perfect face.

He'd grown. Long, lean muscular arms showed under his navy blue t-shirt, and she could see the slightest hint of a well-defined stomach. As if it were possible, she'd have to say he's even more handsome then when she last seen him.

Maybe this year will be the year things will change between them.

"SAKURA-CHAN!" She was attacked into a bear hug by no other than Naruto Uzumaki. His tanned face made his white smile shine even brighter.

"Sakura-chan, how are you? I haven't seen you in a while! Oh, I'm so glad you came! Those annoying girls attacked Sasuke this morning and you shoulda saw his face! They all left when they saw you though."

Sakura suppressed a smile. "Oh, is that so," she smiled, glancing at Sasuke. "My, my. Still popular as always, aren't you Uchiha?" She let out a quiet laugh. "You're all tough with everything else but you can't handle a bunch of silly girls? Why, Uchiha, that's kinda sad, don't cha think?"

Sakura was amused to see a scowl replace the smirk on Sasuke's face. Nothing like teasing the boy first thing in the morning!

"You're quite popular yourself, Haruno." He nodded in the direction of a large group of boys staring at her. "Be careful. You never know what a bunch of hormone-crazed boys will do."

"I can handle myself well, Uchiha, unlike you. Watch closely and learn." With that, she strutted to the crowd of boys.

They all looked at her eagerly. After all, it's not often the most popular girl of Konoha High paid them any attention!

"Hi, guys," Sakura said cheerfully. "I was wondering," she continued, twirling a strand of her hair around her finger, "can one of you guy be a gentleman and find my friend Tenten? She's supposed to be here somewhere, and I can't find her anywhere." The rosette batted her thick long lashes to add effect.

It worked. The boys, shoving each other and racing around, promised they would not come back until they found her friend.

Sakura smiled mischievously and walked back to the group.

"Oi, Sakura-chan, didn't Tenten graduate last year?" Naruto asked, scratching his head. Ino rolled her eyes.

"Jeez, Naruto, what do you think? You're as dumb as those boys." she muttered. She flashed Sakura a grin. "Nice going, forehead."

"See, Uchiha, that's how you do it." Sakura said.

Sasuke scoffed. "No hell of a way am I ever going to try to seduce my fangirls. Only you would do something like that, Pinky."

Sakura's mouth dropped open. "Are you trying to imply something, Chicken Ass?"

"I don't know, Pinky. What do you think?" A pause. "Oh wait, sorry Pinky. I forgot that you can't think. You're too dumb."

"Take that back, Ass," Sakura growled.

"Or else what?" Sasuke taunted.

Oh, I'm gonna wipe that damn smirk off his stupid face! She thought angrily.

"Hmm," she said tapping her chin. "Maybe… give Ami Watanabe your number?" She giggled as Sasuke's facial expression turned to pure horror.

"You wouldn't."

"Yes, I would."

"Pinky." Ohh, his anger tone.

"Chicken Ass."

"Pinky, I'm serious."

"So am I. Quit glaring at me, Uchiha. I'm just quaking in my navy blue Converses." She batted her eyelashes playfully. "You don't want to scare a poor little girl on her first day of school, do you Uchiha?"

"Poor little girl my ass."

~*X*~

As the two bickered back and forth, their friends stood by watching them amusedly. It was senior year, all right, but some things will never change.
