.-FALSE PRETENSE-.
(She did it for 10k)

-Chapter 1: Money buys anything-

-

Sasuke's Mr. Drop-dead gorgeous, who everybody adores. He puts the 'H' in 'Hott'. Ninety-nine percent of girls like him. Has an average of eighty stalkers and receives more than a hundred love letters a day. Almost every girl falls for him. Would that even be possible? Yes it is, if you're Uchiha Sasuke.

Now, here's Sakura Haruno, the most fabulous of all fabs. The one who melts all the guys. Yes, almost every guy likes her. The one percent who HATES the Uchiha hottie since the first time she laid eyes on him. Yes, not dislike but a total hatred! That's why the guys think they've got the upper-hand cuz of the fact that she hates the certain girl-magnet.

Sasuke's irritated with tons of love letter popping out and scattering whenever he opens his locker and the obvious girls who follow him around, in and out of the campus.

"I wan't freaken freedom!" He yelled, startling Neji, Naruto and Shikamaru who were with him.

"What's up with you?" Shikamaru asked with a brow risen.

"Tch.. ...A bunch of morons trailing me around" Sasuke murmured.

"Hah. Now, you're complaining? Then why don't you get yourself a girlfriend so that all those other girls would stay away?" Neji suggested.

"Heh... I dont even like anybody." The onyx-eyed teen answered.

"Why not 'act' like you have a girlfriend?" Neji continued.

"Yeah right. Like there's even someone guaranteed for that role." Replied the Uchiha, as he inserts his hands in his pocket.

A light bulb flashed on Naruto's head. "Sakura." The blond suggested.

"Her? Baka, she hates me and I dont like her." Sasuke replied.

"That's the point. Haruno Sakura, the only girl who hates you equals no mushy-mushy feelings." Shikamaru stated.

"Tch. What do you mean?" The raven-haired teen mumbled.

"If you'll plan a set up with Haruno and act like you're a couple, girls will stop following you around. That wouldn't hurt, the fact that she hates you and you don't have feelings for her. " Neji answered for Shikamaru.

(Yes, Sasuke doesn't have feelings for any certain girl)

"Oh c'mon, Teme. Do it for bittersweet 'freedom'. How about just for a week?" Naruto added.

"Hmm.. A week, aye?" Sasuke's lips ran up and made a smirk "Hah.. And how do you think i could ask a favor like that from her?"

Shikamaru placed his folded arms at the back of his head. "That's you're problem." Shikamaru stated as the guys went ahead and left Sasuke with his own problem to solve.

'Tch. Those guys do have a point. Well, i'll try it for a week, but how the heck will i ask her?'.

Sasuke and Sakura belong in the same class. Their seats are just a seat apart. Sitting so close with the person you hate, could you feel the irony?

--In the middle of the class--

Sasuke rolled a piece of tiny paper and threw it at Sakura, which unfortunately hit her face.

"Phew..." Sakura picked the rolled paper from her desk as she looked around to see who threw it. She then spots the Uchiha looking at her.

The emerald-eyed teen's eyebrows banged on each other. "What the heck is this Uchiha?" She hissed with out mere sound. Sasuke just read her lip movements as he looked back infront with a smirk.

Sakura rolled the paper open. There she read what was written

'I got something to tell you...
Meet you at the rooftop at 3:00pm after class

-Sasuke'

"What the heck is the meaning of this?" Sakura asked herself in annoyance.

XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX

--Rooftop 3:00pm--

Sasuke was waiting for Sakura as he looked at the serene view above the school building with the gust of wind passing through. The onyx-eyed teen then heard the door jolt open, hearing a familiar voice.

"Baka, What do you want?" Sakura roared.

"... I just want to ask you something." Sasuke replied, still looking at the view.

"Hah. What? You gonna confess your love or something, like the guys usually do?" The pink-haired teen joked.

"Something like that." Sasuke replied as he turned around to face her with a sneer.

Sakura's smile faded, replaced with a peeved frown as she raised a clear brow. "Tch. Stop fooling around, Sasuke!" She hollered.

"Could I ask a favor?" Sasuke stated.

"Hah? YOU? Ask a favor from ME? and more importantly, do you even know who you're talking to?" Sakura said with a confused look.

"Yeah. So... would you be my girlfriend for a week?" The Uchiha asked stoically. Man, how straight-forward can he get?

Her jaw dropped open. "You? Me?"

"Yeah" Sasuke added.

"Heck No! I don't even like you. Duh! cuz i hate you. Get it? HATE YOU." She said, emphasizing the words.

"Yeah, i know. ...And i dont even like you too. Well, that's the point." That's so straight-to-the-point.

Sakura just gave him a confused look in reply.

"I want those other girls to stay away by letting them think I have a girlfriend." Sasuke added.

"Oh?! Of all people why the heck did you choose me, you Moron?!"

"Tch. Because, you dont have feelings for me and so if we're gonna act like we're together, it wont mean anything between us." The Raven-haired teen explained.

"Act? With you? Like eww, i wont go all lovey-dovey over you, Idiot!" Sakura replied in disgust.

"Oh c'mon!" Sasuke insisted.

"What's my benefit then?!" The emerald-eyed teen hollered back.

"I'll do all your cleaning duties for the year." The onyx-eyed teen replied.

"Heck NO! Not enough!"

"Oh c'mon, I'm just asking for a week!" He pleaded.

Sakura was overcome with anger and total annoyance. She turned around and walked back as she bit her lip.

"Wait!" He stated, grabbing Sakura's arm.

"What?!" She roared back at him with eyes burning hell.

"I'll pay you ten thousand bucks." said Sasuke.

Those words rung at Sakura's ears as the background changed to floral-sparkly rainbows."Te-te-te-ten thousand?"

"Yeah." Sasuke replied stoically.

Sakura then snapped out of her dreams. "Deal! I'll start next week and dont forget your down payment, okey?" She replied with a grin as she shook hands with the Uchiha and turned around as she skipped her way down the stairs with a freaky grin.

'oo--kay.. wow.. Talk about mood swings, makes me wonder if she's on menopause.'

Oh? Sakura accepted the deal for Ten thousand. Hah... Money rules!

To Be Continued.

"I won the bet! Haha! I knew it! She accepted the deal!" Naruto yelled. "Now, you gotta pay me!"

"hah" Shikamaru took a deep sigh, noticing he actually lost from a deal, whether Sakura will say yes or no. "Troublesome. Who would've thought she'll actually do it for ten thousand... Money could actually buy anything."

--Sigh--
