A/N: This is a story I wrote during a very difficult part of my life. You may or may not already know that Sasuke is my favourite anime character EVER. Well, one day, I realised suddenly that Sasuke and Kukai are just as hot as each other! So I was left, head reeling, filled with panic, wondering how the hell I could choose between them! So I have given the choice to Hinamori Amu by way of this story. :)
It's in Amu's P.O.V and Nadeshiko is a girl. The rest, I'll let you work out.
It is called Hotness Title Pending because I couldn't decide on a title and then it just became habit. :)
Hotness Title Pending
Monday, 17th of March 2010
Dear Diary,
Today began normally. But then again, these things always do. You know, like in movies and stuff?
When I got to first period—maths… Great—and sat down, Tadase smiled at me. He then sat down in the conveniently placed empty seat right next to me. I mean, it actually was on my right. We switch seats every month so I would be stuck with him for that time. Oh, great (sarcasm). But I wasn't sure what to do about that smile... I figured the best thing to do would be to smile back, so I did. Maybe I should ask Nadeshiko about that tomorrow?
I mean, he has a girlfriend now (bitch) and he knows I like him. So I'm mad at him at the moment. We've been friends since fifth grade so now we're close. Or, we were close. I'm not quite sure where I stand now.
We're in tenth grade now so… we've known each other for roughly four or five years. I find it hard to believe I never thought of the possibility of him getting a girl other than me. Proves how far I think ahead. I just don't know if our relationship is different or anything.
So I was going through all that in my head when the teacher came in. It is totally rare for any teacher to be early so she caught me by surprise.
It's like it's an unspoken rule that high school teachers never come to class on time. Really, they never do. Well, except the really mean ones that want as much time as possible in which to torture you with knowledge you will never need and most certainly don't want. Seriously, I have bigger things to worry about.
So anyway, Mrs Kurenai started talking to the class, and I started staring at Tadase. You can't blame me—he was sitting right there! Even better, he was paying close attention to the teacher, and therefore unlikely to notice my intense scrutiny of him.
I was trying not to faint as I was hit by his breathtaking charm and that utter cuteness. I was completely preoccupied, so I didn't notice a new student walk in, and I'm kicking myself for that. I was too busy wondering how Tadase ended up with muscles. He'd grown without me noticing, I supposed.
I really can't believe I was too busy staring at him to simply look up and see the new kid. It would have been so easy!
What finally caught my attention was a sharp intake of breath to my left. I turned around to see Nadeshiko totally swooning. I was shocked! That's never happened before. She keeps her emotions in check, usually.
A quick glance around the room showed me that all the girls had similar reactions. I looked up at the teacher's desk and it was like the world just stopped.
The new kid was hot.
Forget Tadase; this guy's beauty rivalled Kukai's! Kukai is the undisputed champion of hotness in our school. Yeah, we girls held a vote. Ikuto came in second place by about a thousand votes. I'm exaggerating, of course. But my point is that Kukai won, hands down. Now, enter hot guy.
We're gonna have to have another vote.
He has this stunning black hair. It's really shiny. And he was wearing a blue shirt with some weird ice-cream cone symbol on the back. The cone-like bit was white but the ice-cream bit was red. I'd never seen anything like it before.
Then, he started walking towards me. I seriously almost squealed. He is that hot, even just looking at him would send any girl into total fangirl heaven. It turned out he was only walking towards me 'cause the seat behind me was the only one free, but whatever. I can have my fantasies… Now he'll be sitting behind me all month. Yes!
So what if I'm forced to face Tadase every day? The hot guy is right behind me! I'm sure I can come up with some reason to talk to him.
I noticed later that he has these really dark eyes. Maybe once upon a happier time they were blue. I say "happier time" because he seems really depressed about something. Maybe he's one of those deep and meaningful guys?
The day of classes was boring, as usual, but I found out something new. The new guy's name is Sasuke Uchiha. Even his name is awesome. Also, he's super smart. He knew the answer to every question in every subject. As brilliant as my best friend, Nadeshiko, is, she can't compare to his amazing knowledge of everything. No joke—everything. Even the stuff I bet half the seniors don't know.
On another note, the club I'm a member of (Girl's Group) are holding a meeting tomorrow to discuss this new student. We are planning to hold another voting session for the hottest male in school this Friday.
Girl's Group is a club at our school that all girls over the age of fourteen are automatically a member of. It's a very important club, as we decide which guys are worth our time, and we gossip to our hearts' content.
We meet in the gym whenever something comes up. Like a break-up, for example, or someone getting together with someone else. Also, when someone we thought was gay finally come out of the closet about it. That hasn't happened much, but it still happens occasionally.
I have a feeling that this time, after the vote, the hottest males in school will be Kukai and Sasuke. Ikuto is out of the running because he got expelled at the end of last year. Kiba would've been high up on the list, too, but he was also expelled at the end of last year.
I have to go have dinner now, but I'll tell you about Kiba and Ikuto some other day.

A/N: So what do you think? I have a feeling I'm gonna be either loved or hated for this story.
For starters, I'm fully aware that there are many, many people in this world who hate Sasuke. I'm just not one of them.
And many other people probably wonder why I love Kukai so much. I might explain that some other time.
Now, I know that some people absolutely hate Ikuto... My beta-reader included. This is why I have him expelled from the school. That and he's a bad boy so it seems appropriate.
See? I love my beta-reader so much; I expelled her worst favourite character from an imaginary school!! 3
Please review!!! I love hearing thoughts of readers!! And I like to know that I have readers. :)
BR/N (Firisu): Aw, you expelled Ikuto from an imaginary school just for me? Wow, I don't know what to say…
Hmm, reading this chapter made me feel like I was reading your journal (not that I've ever read your journal or anything—unless you include those 'letters' you wrote me while I was in China and only gave me after I got back—but you know what I mean).
