Fans and Cherryblossoms || Chapter 01: 3 Days Before
A|N: I'm sorry if I made Sasuke 'un-cool-like' I'm a girl, and I tried my best to NOT change his anti-social personality. Sorry. :) And the email addresses are pretty stupid, I know. But I don't want to give them email addresses like, 'cool343'--you can't trace the owner/character. So yeah. And I'm not accepting reviews, they're too much for me to handle. Haha. And don't send me messages about the dumb title. I figured to name it that, since the symbol of the Uchiha clan is a fan, and sakura is obviously a cherryblossom. :)
I wondered what I should get for Sakura's birthday. I missed her birthday last year, and I don't want to miss it again this year. I was sitting in my favorite bench in Konoha High. It was under a big oak tree. Her birthday was 3 days away.
All of a sudden, Naruto came out from nowhere.
"Hey Sasuke!" he yelled into my ear.
"Dobe," I replied, and then I ignored him.
"Anyway, have you finished homework?," he asked me.
I pointed to my notebook which was beside me.
"I'm all done," I said, smirking.
I don't like boasting, but when it comes to Naruto, it's so much fun.
He sat on the ground; he was at my left.
"Can you help me with Math?," he asked.
I glared at him. "Go ask Hinata," I replied, smirking again.
Naruto turned red. "She's busy."
I raised my eyebrow. "Oh yeah?"
"Yeah!"
We stopped talking for a few seconds to glare at each other in the eye.
Then Naruto stared at my blue notebook.
I took it and threw it at his face.
"Hey, What was that for?!" he yelled, with my notebook in his hand.
I extended my left hand.
"Huh?" Naruto said blankly, confused.
"You don't want my homework?"
Naruto looked at the notebook in his hand, then scratched his head and grinned his goofy grin. "Oh thanks!"
I sighed.
I looked at him copying my answers, then I wondered if I should ask him what he was getting Sakura. He couldn't have forgotten, they're pretty close. But asking it will be quite weird, at this place... at this time... while he's doing homework...
Sigh. It won't hurt to ask.
"Hey dobe, what are you getting Sakura for her birthday?"
"Why would you wanna know?" He asked, raising a brow.
I felt my face turn red. I regained my composure, then asked, "I JUST want to know."
"Well...", Naruto began. "Maybe I'll get her some stuff toy. You think Sakura will like that for her 17th birthday?" He asked, thoughtfully.
I shrugged. "Whatever, dobe."
I tried to hide it, but I was a little pissed off. Naruto is stupid, but he has a pretty good gift idea. And this also means I can't get Sakura a stuff toy.
I looked at my watch. It said 5:00 PM.
"You done, dobe? I'm leaving," I said, standing up.
"Sure sure, I'm done," Naruto said, keeping his stuff. Then he handed me my notebook. I placed it in my backpack.
Then I walked away, pondering. Then Naruto yelled my name out so loud, that everybody around us was staring at me. "Sasuke!"
I turned my head abruptly, glaring at him. "What?"
"Good luck with the gift thing, "he said, chuckling.
It somehow took me by surprise. I just gave him a nod and walked off.

As I was heading to my apartment, I passed through a library.
Maybe I should get her a book?
Then I decided against it. Sai would get her a book. Even though that freak was socially clueless, he wouldn't forget Sakura's birthday. Plus he was Ino's boyfriend, and Ino's probably blabbing about Sakura's birthday to everyone.
I sighed. This is so complicated.
For a moment, I thought about missing her birthday again. But if I keep doing this every year...
I took a deep breath and then let it out.
Don't worry, I thought to myself. You'll get her a good present. A really good one. An awesome present.
Awesome?
I slapped myself in the face. Was I going mad? I'd better avoid Naruto to stop myself from learning his lingo. Next thing I know I'm already saying, "believe it!"
Creepy thought.
I got inside my apartment and threw my backpack on the couch. Then I looked for my brother Itachi.
At that moment, the door open and he got inside with a package.
"Where did you come from?" I asked him.
He grinned and held up the package. "I bought something for Sakura."
I raised my eyebrows. Her birthday was still 3 days away.
3 days. 3 days. Now that I think about it, I have a lot of time.
I headed to the refrigerator.
"Geez..." I said, looking for a tomato.
Found one. I took it and bit into it.
I heard Itachi setting himself on the couch for some TV.
"Her birthday is still 3 days away," I finished.
I turned to him and stared at him blankly.
He grinned. I raised my eyebrows.
"What?" I asked.
He bit his nail, grinned wider, and asked, "you don't have a present for her, huh, little brother?"
I finished my tomato quickly and ran up to my room. "That's none of your business!" I yelled as I stepped inside my room.
I could hear him laughing.

I crashed myself on my bed and groaned.
Stupid Itachi.
I stood up and changed into my home clothes.
Out of boredom, I turned my computer on and went online.
I checked my inbox, and saw 3 messages. One was from Ino, and 1 from an unknown sender.
I opened Ino's message.
