Warning/Disclaimer: Since Itachi didn't murder his clan or anything *in this fic's world* Sasuke is going to be OOC to an extent. I hope you guys can enjoy this & tell me what you think in the reviews (flames will be ignored)! Also, this story is obviously a FanFiction (crazy on this website, I know) and I am not saying I am Masashi Kishimoto…I am just saying…no one's ever seen me and Masashi in the same room before…


~*Sasuke's P.O.V*~

Shit. I was late, again.

Hopefully Kakashi was, too, or he was too buried in his porno book to notice me walk in. Yeah, that would probably happen.

To my dismay, as I stepped into the classroom, everything was surprisingly quiet and everybody was in their assigned seat and the Principal, Sarutobi, was standing behind Kakashi's desk with his arms behind his back. Kakashi gave me an almost apologetic look before scolding me.

"Uchiha Sasuke. Late." He marked my name with a red pen on his clipboard before gesturing to my seat in the front. Goddammit I hate that seat – and I had never even actually sat there before. I slowly sunk down into my seat, feeling the stares of my classmates burning on my back. From my peripheral vision, I caught an unusual color that made me completely turn to the left.

Her hair was a bit past her shoulders and it was… pink. You would think a girl who dyes her hair pink would be a rocker or a goth or whatever, with heavy eyeliner and fishnets, but she was the exact opposite: She had no makeup extenuating her bright emerald eyes or her soft, pastel lips that matched her locks; her skin was fair and smooth, and she wore her uniform skirt at a modest length – the only decoration being the big red bow tied under her collar. She bit her bottom lip and tried to fight back a smile as a slight blush hit her cheeks.

I felt heat rise to my own face and I immediately turned back to face the teacher and principal. Just when I think a girl might be different, she has to start sweating me before I even say a word to her. Typical.

"I see you've noticed your partner for an upcoming project." Kakashi stated, grinning with his eyes closed. My eyes popped a little and then the rest of the class erupted.

"NO WAY!" That annoying blonde cheerleader named Ino slammed her desk as she rose, "I only teamed up with this loser because Sasuke-kun didn't show up!" She scoffed while pointing at the pineapple haired boy slumped in the seat next to her. I felt bad for that guy, he looked like he'd rather be taking a nap, but instead he was constantly whipped around like a pack mule by that insane loud girl. "Besides, that new girl's forehead is huge!"

"Yeah let her be with Sasuke! I want to be with the new girl!" The rambunctious class clown shot up also, making the shy girl in the oversized coat next to him look down sadly.

"What the hell you jerk?! You asked Hinata before that flat-chested girl even walked in! So shut up!" The kid who snuck his dog into school once, Kiba, barked from across the room, making the weird bug boy next to him shake his head.

Everybody blasted insults and threats and demands from all around the class, making the principal narrow his eyes at Kakashi who was starting to turn red.

"SILENCE!" Kakashi commanded, slamming his fist against his desk loudly, making everyone freeze. Even I was scared. After all, Kakashi never lost his temper. "You will all work with your current partners or I will purposely pair you up with your worst nightmare!" Luckily, everybody settled down after that. I shuddered just imagining who I would be paired up with if they hadn't relaxed. "Now…" He took a deep breath and composed himself, "Get to know a little about your partner so you can-"

"But Senseiii," Ino moaned, "I already know my partner. He's boring!" The class snickered as she embarrassed her partner, pinching his cheek harshly as it turned pink.

"Yamanaka. Detention." Kakashi jotted her name on the board, making the class 'oooo' obnoxiously.

"But I have practice!" She whined.

"But you also have an attitude. So until you learn to respect Shikamaru, you'll be seeing me after class." Kakashi said firmly, making Ino humph and sulk in her chair. I chuckled quietly to myself. She deserved it. I heard the new girl also giggle to herself.

"Is something funny over there, Billiard Brow?" Ino hissed from the back of the classroom to the girl next to me.

"What did I just say?" Kakashi growled.

"You said to respect Shikamaru!" Ino snorted, sticking her chin in the air. The class cheered her on.

"That's it, the whole class is staying an extra thirty minutes!" Kakashi wrote the number 30 on the board and underlined it, "You can thank Yamanaka, who is staying another thirty minutes today and tomorrow for her behavior!" The class groaned and threw paper planes at Ino making her yowl and storm out of the room. "And where do you think you're going?" Kakashi called as she walked out, ignoring her teacher. Shikamaru covered his face and then stood up and followed her. Kakashi gave him a bewildered look to which Shikamaru just shrugged and then followed his partner. Kakashi rubbed his temples impatiently, "Alright, then, I know who's getting written up…" He mumbled to the principal, scribbling on his clipboard.

I sighed in annoyance. I hated rude girls and guys who couldn't stand up to them. Kakashi moved on to specify the project. We had to act out an original skit inspired by the novel "Frankenstein". I complained internally, I hated presenting in front of the class – shit, I hated even talking in class.

"Any ideas?" I tried to be straight forward as I faced my partner, so she wouldn't get any ideas.

"Well…" She looked away shyly, "Senei said we should get to know each other a little first so we can come up with something…" I could tell where this was going.

"That's stupid." I said bluntly, earning a shocked expression from her.

"Okay..." She scrunched her brow and tapped her pen against her notebook. Ugh. That noise irritated me. "Have you read Frankenstein, yet?"

"No." I admitted. Although my grade was fine, literature was not my forte and I found the reading to be a pain.

"Oh…" She made an awkward oval with her mouth and she searched for a response, "Well, it's nothing like the movie." I guess that was supposed to be some sort of joke since she gave a weak smile, but I didn't take the bait, I just scowled at her. "I could just write the play for us." She finally sighed.

"Fuck that." I frowned, "Do you think I'm a retard? Or just an asshole? I don't need you to do all the work. I hate people that let others walk all over them." Her eyes grew thrice their size and her mouth opened a little. Some of the kids around us whispered and I could tell she was mortified.

"Sasuke…" Kakashi bent down between us, making our neighbors pretend to be uninterested, "Did you hear what I said to Ino about respect?" I averted my gaze and didn't respond. He took a breath and patted the girl on the shoulder. "Don't take him too seriously. He's a bit…shy with girls." Kakashi winked at her, making her and my cheeks flare. What the hell was his problem? "By the way, a good way to start," Kakashi hinted to me, "Is to find out her name." He walked away and the bell rang but as the kids started getting restless he pointed to the board, "Thirty minutes." They groaned. "Thank Yamanaka."
