A/N: Welcome. I've been working on quite a few stories right now, but this one seems to be the one I have the most chapters for currently and am almost finished the first main plot arch, so I thought it would be a good time to upload the first chapter so everyone can start reading :D Hope you enjoy.

Summary: Sasuke Uchiha is the "prince" of Konoha HighSchool, but he always turns down confessions, including one of Naruko Uzumaki's best friends, causing her undying hatred towards him.

Chapter One:

Naruko Uzumaki, grade twelve, was a simple, normal girl. She wasn't particularly smart and not particularly pretty, some may even call her a slacker or a tomboy. Naruko wasn't graceful, girly or talented. She wasn't popular with boys and didn't have lots of money. Her hobbies included playing pranks, hanging out with her friends and eating junk food; especially ramen. She was completely average and was quite aware of this fact. What Naruko did have, was an overwhelming amount of loyalty and compassion to her friends, and not to mention an infamous temper. It was these traits that lead her down the path of no return.

You see, since Naruko had entered high school there were two girls she had always been friends with; Sakura Haruno and Ino Yamanaka. They were loud and obnoxious and hyper just like Naruko, but their one fatal flaw was that they were both boy crazy. Naruko could never comprehend what was so exciting about the opposite sex because most of the time they were rude, disgusting and even more obnoxious then Naruko and her friends were, which was quite an accomplishment, but alas the two were always raving on about some cute boy. Luckily in their eleventh grade Ino threw in the towel and got together with her current boyfriend, Shikamaru Nara, and while this was great for her, it caused an overwhelming sense of jealousy within Sakura. Sakura wanted nothing more than to have her own boyfriend, and it had been eating away at her until twelfth grade when she finally found who she wanted to confess to.

Enter Sasuke Uchiha, the new transfer student who supposedly came from some rich private school a few towns away. No one knew much about him, but within the blink of an eye the mysterious transfer became the most popular boy at the school. Girls from all grades melted at the sight of him; tall, pale, dark haired. He was what every girl dreamed of which deemed him the title of Konoha High School's very own "Prince" with his very large fan base. Of course, where his appearance flourished, his personality lacked; he was rude, cold and stoic. Naruko found him rather repulsing, and sometimes she wondered if she was the only girl with a sane head on her shoulders, because even though Sasuke Uchiha was a total jerk, the girls still thought he was the coolest thing since sliced bread. Its said that he received at least three confessions from girls a day, but never once accepted them.

This is exactly what happened to Sakura.

Since day one of Sasuke's appearance, Sakura had fallen head over heels for him, and was almost like captain of his fangirls. If anyone had a shot, she thought it was her, so one day she got up the courage and decided it was her turn to confess.

Of course Naruko thought this was a terrible idea, but she was a supportive friends and encouraged Sakura as best she could.

It had been the end of the school day and everyone was gathering together to head home. This was usually the time all the jerk's fangirls pooled together to squeal and watch as he strolled out of school like a dream. Sakura really could have chosen better timing with way less people, but yet there she went, walking out in front of him confidently with her head held high.

The crowd went silent. Everybody stared.

"Sasuke Uchiha… I love you!" She yelled in front of everyone.

Sasuke had looked at her, facial expression unchanging. He kept walking, straight past her. For a moment everyone thought that he would keep going, but he seemed to change his mind. He stopped, turned around and looked at her.

"You know what?" He asked her.

Sakura turned to look at him with a big blush and hopeful eyes. "Yes Sasuke?"

"You're annoying." Sasuke stated and swung his bag over his shoulder nonchalantly. "I have no interest in an eyesore like you."

The crowd laughed, Sakura looked like she was about to cry and Ino had to hold Naruko back lest she get ahold of the jerk and strangle him to death. Sasuke, who didn't seem to care about the aftermath, turned and swiftly walked away, joined by his laughing friends.

Naruko had huffed, sucked up all her anger and went over to comfort Sakura with Ino in tow.

That had been three days ago.

Since the confession Sakura had fell into quite the depression, and it was bringing both Naruko and Ino down. No matter what or how hard they tried, Sakura wouldn't stop sulking or crying about how ugly she was or how humiliated she was. She even went so far as to say she would never get married to anyone now that she was so ashamed of herself. Ino had just felt pity for their friend, but Naruko… Naruko didn't get upset, she got angry.

And when Naruko got angry, she got even.

-x-x-x-

Naruko leaned against the wall next to the main stairwell. Luckily Naruko knew exactly where Sasuke would be thanks to Shikamaru who happened to be in his friend group, and if he wanted to leave the school he would have to come up the stairs to get out.

Naruko waited patiently, surveying the countless students who rushed up the stairs to their freedom at the end of the day. Luckily Naruko's target was on his own, making the execution of he plan much easier.

The onyx haired heart throb walked up the stairs leisurely and expressionless as always. When he reached the top of the stairs, he was stopped dead. Naruko shot her leg out in front of him, touching the other wall and blocking his path. His deep black eyes looked up from their thoughts and looked her up and down. Naruko almost growled, knowing he was looking her over and judging her appearance; messy blonde hair pulled up in big tails, big blue eyes, tan skin, scar marks on her face. She was short and not very well endowed. Naruko knew what he was thinking, she wasn't usually the type to confess to him as those girls were all beautiful and confident in their appearances. It was a good thing that Naruko wasn't planning on confessing.

"You're in the way." Said Sasuke.

Naruko crossed her arms but stayed where she was. "Do you know how much courage it took Sakura to confess to you? Then you go running your mouth saying all those rude things? I knew you were a bastard, but I didn't believe you were also an asshole. You have no right to say those things."

Sasuke's eyebrow twitched in annoyance. "Who are you?"

"Sakura's friend; Naruko Uzumaki." She stated and kept glaring at him.

Sasuke looked at her in discontent and asked, "Sakura?"

Naruko blinked, "What do you mean 'Sakura?'. The girl who confessed to you three days ago in front of the whole school. Pretty girl with the long pink hair." Did he really not remember? He was proving to be more of a jerk then he seemed. "You know, Sakura has serious feelings for you. You shouldn't play with people's emotions like that!"

Sasuke stared her down; his dark eyes peering into her blue ones. It made her skin crawl.

"What?" She asked, wondering if there was something on her face.

Sasuke walked forward towards her, closer and closer until he was right beside her. He grabbed onto her extended thigh and pressed her shoulder against the wall, leaning in close to her face.

"You too? Do you also want to be with me?" He whispered sensually and leaned so close their noses were almost touching.

Naruko's eyes widened and she must have made an interesting expression, because Sasuke smirked in amusement in front of her. Silently laughing at her.

Naruko closed her eyes tightly and reacted instinctively; pulling her thigh out of his grasp and kicking him right in the stomach. Sasuke's eyes widened as he was suddenly sent sprawling backwards down the stairs, books flying everywhere

"What the hells wrong with you! Of course I don't!" Naruko screamed, not realizing what she had done. When she opened her eyes she let out a gasp of surprise.

Oh man, I'm so screwed!

-x-x-x-

Naruko groaned for what seemed like the billionth time as she blew her bangs out of her face. Of course, she would have used her hands if they weren't already preoccupied.

Somehow her stunt of kicking Sasuke down a flight of stairs had landed her in the position of piggy backing him home. Yes, you read that right; Naruko Uzumaki was carrying Sasuke Uchiha on her back down the streets of Konoha. It obviously didn't matter to Sasuke that he was probably twice her weight and much taller than her. His pride didn't seem to matter much either. Rather he was enjoying the torture he was causing the small blonde.

"Why are you so heavy you stupid baka?" Naruko hissed as she hobbled down the street, ignoring all of the weird stares they were getting from people. Could it get any weirder than a vertically challenged girl to be lugging a beanpole around on her back like he was precious cargo?

"You wouldn't have to do this if you hadn't have kicked me down the stairs and hurt my leg." Sasuke rebutted.

"The nurse said it was just going to bruise you sissy…" Naruko mumbled under her breath.

Sasuke tightened his arms around her shoulders painfully. "What was that you said?" He asked. Naruko wheezed and trudged onward in pain, "Nothing."

"Good, now hurry or you'll miss the green light." He motioned forward to the intersection she was supposed to cross. Naruko groaned again and ran (hobbled) as fast as she could across the street with Sasuke on her back. When she made it across she set him down against a bench and fell onto her side, wheezing.

"What do you think your doing? We have to turn right now." Sasuke said and crossed his arms, voice dripping in sadistic entertainment.

Naruko tightened her fists and punched the ground, wanting so badly to kick him again, but this time into oncoming traffic. She stood up and slid under his left side, using herself as a crutch. Sasuke put his weight beside her and limped along to her smaller strides. They stayed silent other than Naruko's groaning and complaining and Sasuke continually pointing it out that this was her fault, his leg hurt or which direction to turn.

"Left here." Sasuke said, and they turned the corner together.

Naruko paused and looked forward. "You have got to be kidding me. Why the hell do you live at the top of a hill!?"

In front of them was a very steep, very long and very menacing set of stairs.

"We have to climb these." Sasuke pointed out.

"Nope." Naruko shook her head quickly and tried to flee. "You have to climb there."

Sasuke was quick and grabbed her shoulder, spinning her around. "Need I remind you again that this is-"

"Let me guess: my fault?" Naruko interrupted and only got a glare in return. Naruko glared back, but eventually gave in. "Fine!" She screamed loudly and got in a crouch. "Get on. But if your fat ass breaks my back you will have hell to pay!"

Sasuke rolled his eyes but smirked as he climbed onto her small back with amusement.

The trek up the stairs was the most strenuous thing Naruko had ever done. She almost tripped multiple times, which she got yelled at for by Sasuke. By the time they reached the top Naruko was sweating and exhausted.

"We're almost there now." Sasuke said as he looked around.

Thank god. Home stretch. Naruko thought to herself and readjusted him on her back before walking forward. She looked upwards at their surroundings, trying to peer past her shaggy bangs that had been keeping her blind for most of their trip.

Wait a minute, she thought, why does this area look so familiar?

"There." Sasuke pointed.

Naruko sighed in relief and set him down. She stretched out her back and enjoyed the popping sensation. She then swept her bangs out of her face to see which apartment the jerk lived in.

"Eh…" Naruko whispered, jaw dropping. "Ehh!? You live here? Right here!?"

Naruko walked forward to the building and pointed at it. It was a two story creamy beige building with a big balcony on the second floor attaching to two apartments and another big balcony in the back connecting to the other two. It had white trim surrounding the windows which were all covered with pretty white drapes. The front of the building was adorned by a beautiful garden with lots of flowers, a pond and a white picket fence.

"Yeah, so?" Sasuke asked and crossed his arms and limped forward, following after her.

Naruko shook her head in disbelief. "This is where I live!"

"What?" Sasuke asked in surprised.

"Which room are you?" Naruko asked and looked at him.

Sasuke shrugged. "The new room, 204."

"Since when!?" Naruko demanded.

Sasuke frowned. Was she a detective? Nope, just annoying. "I've been here a week now."

Naruko almost collapsed. "You've got to be kidding me… Please tell me this is a lie."

Naruko soon found out that Sasuke was indeed, not lying.
