Chapter 1

Enter! The nerd

It was of course, a very nice and normal morning for everyone. But for a student who let's just say, a nobody in school, these days are what she calls, pain in the ass. She'd rather stay home and imprison herself in her room. Well, this time, it's really different.

"Dear! Could you please help me with these pots?"

"Okay Mrs. Robinson!" A black haired, red eyed girl ran down the stairs of her apartment and went to the neighboring house.

"My age seems to catch up with me. These pots are too heavy for me! Could you help me lift them towards there?"

"No problem Mrs. Robinson!"

The two of them arranged the pots of beautiful plants. Shizuka helped the elderly lady in her 60s to place the pots in their right positions. When they were done, they stood up and flexed their sore limbs. They marveled at the finished product.

"Wow dear. My garden looks very beautiful! Thank you for your help!"

"There's no problem, Mrs. Robinson! I'm always willing to help."

Mrs. Robinson looked at her wristwatch. "Dear, aren't you late? It's already 6:30."

Shizuka stared wide eyed on her wristwatch and screamed.

"Oh gosh! I'm late!" She scampered towards her apartment and prepared for school.

THWACK!

"My bag!"

CRASH!

"Oh no! My vase!"

SLAM!

"My glass!"

Mrs. Robinson winced as she heard shatters from her apartment. She saw Shizuka in her usual get up of baggy pants, a camisole top covered by a blue sweater, her rounded glasses, her ponytail and her worn backpack as she ran outside her apartment.

"Good bye, Mrs. Robinson! See you later!"

She screamed as she dashed of to the direction of her school.

"Bye dear! Take care!" she replied. "Tsk. Really, that little girl…" she said to herself as she smiled and went inside her house to prepare breakfast.

(SHIZUKA'S POV)

I walked quickly for I was running late. I turned up at the corner to arrive at the market place. I smiled and walked in my normal pace. As I walked by, greetings were bombarded at me.

"Morning Shizuka!"

"Morning!"

"Have a good day, Shizuka!"

"Take care!"

"Oho! You're running late aren't you?"

"Be careful on your way to school!"

"Have a good day too!" I replied with a smile as I darted off the corner headed to my school, Konoha University.

I'm Shizuka Aoyama. I'm 18 years old. I'm nice, kind, generous, patient, cheerful and industrious. I am an exchange student from Hokkaido. That's why I'm here. I came from a poor family. My brother died 5 years ago. No relatives, no parents. My parents died a long time ago. Only kind friends of my mother took care of me.

We live in a distant town in Hokkaido. My teachers saw my incredible intelligence and talent so they sent Konoha University a letter of recommendation. And here I am, studying in a very prestigious school. I live alone in the apartment here in Tokyo that the university lent me. Because I'm a scholar, I have my weekly allowance. I don't have to worry about money.

As you may know, Konoha University is a prestigious school for the intelligent, athletic and talented. Oh I forgot, it's an exclusive school. So it just means a lot of snotty and imprudent people. Oh gosh. You don't know how much I suffer.

They only go to school to meet hot and handsome guys, meet hot and beautiful girls, brag about their new bags, new clothes, and blah, blah, blah. They never thought of their future. Well, I'm of course the toy of everyone here. But I also have some friends but not necessarily friends that I'm with everyday. I am always alone. I do my things alone. I'm a senior. One year more and I get to study college. It's really my dream to study in college. Well then, I'm off!

Shizuka ran towards her locker and got her things. She grabbed her books and notebooks for the subjects this morning. She scurried down the corridors and up the stairs while clutching her things with her frail arms. She finally arrived at her homeroom. Goodness! I thought I was already late!

She walked towards her seat on the fourth row when someone stuck a foot in front of her causing her to trip. And, yup. Heaven hates her today. She fell face first in the cold floor and her glasses flew far, far away. She heard snickers from behind her.

"Oops. Sorry." Few more snickers.

"How would you like me to help you, nerdy?" more snickers.

Her vision was slightly blurry and she searched blindly for her things. She kept on tapping the floor to feel her things. She gathered every single object she could lay her hands on and there is still something left: her glasses. Her thick, rounded glasses.

She continued to search it and at last. She found it and immediately wore it. All the time her classmates were snickering. When she regained her normal eyesight, she saw a pair of shoes. She slowly traveled her gaze to the owner of the shoes, and saw the impassive face of the one and only, Uchiha Itachi staring at her coldly. Oh dear.

She instantly bolted up and bowed down low. Her classmates squints their eyes on her and Itachi remained impassive waiting for her reaction.

"I'm sorry classmates. I didn't look where I was walking." She apologized and ran to her seat. Everyone was surprised. Itachi just raised an eyebrow. Wow. She was the one injured and she apologized? O-kay. Well, that was soo weird.

Itachi came back to what he was doing: staring outside the window as usual. But thoughts were running inside his brain.

What the hell? She even didn't get angry to them?

Why do you care so much?

Hey! Who are you?

I'm you. Your inner you.

Get lost.

Hahaha!! You can never do that! I'm you, remember?

I don't know you. Go home and get lost.

I will. But I shall come back.

Itachi regained his composure after his fight with his inner self. He didn't see their Math teacher get inside. As if he cared. A bespectacled, round teacher with a very thick moustache. He began scribbling something in the board.

"If the derivative of y with respect to x is found for all values of x (in its domain) for which the derivative is defined, a new function is obtained, the derivative of y with respect to x. If y f(x), the new function is written as y' or f'(x), Dxy or Dxf(x), (dy)/(dx) or df(x)/dx. Thus,-" the teacher stopped and landed his gaze on the bored Uchiha. "Uchiha-san, please continue."

"if y x2, y + k (x + h)2; k (x + h)2 - x2 2xh + h2; k/h 2x + h, whence Thus, as before, y' f'(x) 6 at x 3, or f'(3) 6; also, f'(2) 4, f'(0) 0, and f'(-2) -4." Itachi stated as a matter of fact without tearing his gaze from outside. The class 'ahhed' at amazement.

"Correct. As expected of you Uchiha-san." The teacher stated.

"Kyaa! Itachi-kun! You're so good!" A slut/bitch screamed.

"Watanabe-san, no shouting at my class please." Ami pouted and 'hmphed'.

Then for the rest of the period, all he did was to stare outside.

(CHEMISTRY)

"In a charged compound, the sums of the oxidation states of all atoms equal the net charge of the compound. These rules allow calculation of the oxidation state of an atom in a particular compound. In SO2, each oxygen atom takes two electrons -2 each; total of -4 from the sulfur atom, and, since the total charge must be zero, the oxidation state of S is +4, meaning sulfur loses four electrons to oxygen." Itagawa-sensei explained. The class groaned irritation. They were dead tired.

"Okay. Classes end here." The class began to cheer. "You have a project. Really, now kids. This would be very easy." The laughter died down and the class groaned in frustration, well except for Itachi who still remained impassive.

"O-kay then. I personally chose the partners for this quarter's project. Hmmm. Let me see…uhuh…yeah…Uhmm…okay…sure. First pair, Hirako-Maya, Second………………..and Last pair, Uchiha-Aoyama pair."

"What?! How come that bitch gets Itachi-kun?!" A girl/bitch exclaimed.

Itagawa-sensei adjusted her glasses and looked at her dead in the eye. "Okay now, Ami. There's no need to say those words to her. It's actually my choice. Gotta problem?" Itagawa-sensei glared at her hard, with the glares of doom. Ami backed away and cowered in fear. Never get on her bad side.

"Ahem. As I was saying before I was rudely interrupted,"-glared hard at Ami-"this project would be done for only a month. This includes your Physics and Biology classes. You'll have to make a thesis and be able to defend it. So work hard! Classes dismissed!" The class groaned in frustration.

"Come on! Another project?!"

"What a torture!'

"Yeah! I was even planning to go to the mall this weekend."

Itachi rolled his eyes at his classmates. What a bunch of fools. He stood up and saw a person go near him. She was his partner in the Thesis project. Aoyama Shizuka.

"Uhm, I guess you're stuck with me then." Shizuka chuckled. Itachi began moving outside, of course with Shizuka trailing behind.

"Hn."

"Where do you want to do the project?"

"4 PM in the lobby."

"Oh, o-kay! See you then!" Shizuka exclaimed and waved at him. Itachi smirked at her reaction and went his way to the cafeteria. She didn't drool in sight of me. Interesting.

Itachi arrived at the lobby immediately after the classes. He was tapping his foot impatiently all the time while waiting. 3:30.He looked again at his wristwatch after a few minutes. 3:59. where is she? Just then, the sound of racing footsteps was heard all over the lobby. He then saw Shizuka racing into his direction and abruptly stopping.

"You're late."

Shizuka looked at her wristwatch and rolled her eyes. 4:00. For Pete's sake! It's just only one second!

"Sorry."

"Hn." Shizuka just stood in front of him catching her breath. Then, a shadow loomed her figure. She brought her gaze up to see who it was. It was Uchiha Itachi's younger brother, the infamous Uchiha Sasuke.

"Oh, hello Sasuke-san." She bowed down.

"Hn." Sasuke replied. Shizuka sweatdropped. Now I get the connection. Like older brother, like younger brother. This is just great.

Itachi and Sasuke entered the car. Shizuka looked embarrassed. Very embarrassed.

Oh goodness. I'm so downright embarrassed.

Yeah right. You'll just be inside the car with the absolutely hot and gorgeous brothers or are just stupid?!

I feel shy.

Yeah. Sure. Shy my ass.

S-shut u-up!

"Oi" A deep husky voice just destroyed her string of thoughts.

"Huh?" The two brothers were looking at her as if she's just dumb or just plain stupid. Okay. That was just the same.

"Oh! Sorry!" She quickly went inside and sat beside the younger Uchiha. Then, the car started moving. Silence enveloped the whole car. Shizuka fiddled with her fingers in the extreme awkwardness. He looked to the direction of the brothers and they seemed soo relaxed. God. I'm dying in here!

"Itachi-sama. You didn't tell us you would bring a girl with you." The driver spoke up.

"This for a project." Itachi gave a reply nonchalantly. The driver seemed satisfies with his answer. He spoke again.

"Young lady, could you tell me your name?"

"Oh, Good afternoon, sir. I'm Aoyama Shizuka. Nice to meet you." She greeted him with a smile.

The driver looked at her in the mirror. He smiled. "Nice to meet you too, Shizuka-sama. I'm Hao, their driver."

"Oh, please Hao-san. No need for formalities. Just Shizuka please."

"Okay if that's what you want. You know, it's my first time to see a person with red and radiant eyes like yours." Shizuka blushed.

The Uchiha brothers dropped their gazes to her. Not that he mentioned it, they really are beautiful.

"Oh, I'm flattered. Thank you."

After a few minutes, they arrived at the Uchiha estate. It was super huge. A house like that of a king's, a garden full of different flowers and a very large and magnificent fountain greeted Shizuka. When they stepped out of the car, Shizuka stood there rooted to her spot in awe.

"Wow."

"Hey. Are you going inside or not?" An annoyed Itachi told her.

Shizuka was snapped out of her trance. She saw Itachi walking away from her and towards the door. "Oh, Coming!" She ran towards the door behind Itachi. Then, she heard a growl beside her. She froze in her current position. Oh dear. She gulped nervously. She slowly turned her head to the source of the sound. Her eyes widened in fear. Oh goodness! She abruptly averted her gaze from the vicious looking, very large Rottweiler. It looks like it's about to shred her into pieces and eat her.

She silently prayed for God to help her. Oh please. Kami-sama. For everything wrong that I have done, please forgive me. I'm so sorry. She peeked at the Rottweiler and it's still growling at her. Waaah! Please ever loving God! Please, I'm begging of you. I'm really sorry for what I did last year. Okay. That wasn't so bad. But still- Then, without any warning, it lunged at her with bared teeth and claws.

She closed her eyes and waited for the impact. When nothing came, she hastily opened her eyes. She gasped in surprise and fear. Blood! She saw the Rottweiler biting Itachi in the arm with so much blood dripping from the wound. Itachi's face was scrunched up in pain. Sasuke immediately told the dog to let go.

"Shadow! Let go!"

The dog, hearing hi owner's command immediately let go. Sasuke reprimanded the dog and the dog whined in the corner. Shizuka immediately tended to Itachi's wound. "Where's the bathroom?" she demanded.

"Here!" a maid exclaimed while running to the nearest bathroom.

Shizuka pulled Itachi to bathroom. She never gave Itachi the chance to protest. She dragged him to the sink and sprayed the wound with lukewarm water. Itachi winced as she sprayed the wound with water.

He stared at her. She was shaking and looked so frantic. He could really see fear and worry in her eyes. He could really feel her soft hands against his arm. It felt good. What in the world am I thinking?!

Haha. I think you've fallen in love with her.

W-what?! It's impossible.

Oh really?

There's no way I'm gonna fall in love with her.

Yeah right.

Oh will you shut up.

Make me.

Itachi snapped back to reality when Shizuka began cleaning the wound with soap. She washed it again with lukewarm water. She then got the towel handed by the maid. She gently wiped the wound clean and got a cloth and covered his wound with the cloth. Everyone gave out a sigh of relief.

"Itachi-sama, we need to bring you to the doctor immediately." Wei, their butler spoke.

"No need. I'm fine."

"But-

"I said I'm fine." Wei seemed to be taken back with his tone.

"O-kay young master."

"Let's go." Itachi directed to Shizuka and moved towards his room. They entered the room and Itachi sprawled his tired body in his king-sized bed. Shizuka looked around and observed the new surroundings. The room was pitch black even the bed covers were black and white, the 60 inch plasma TV is also black, even the carpet and the walls. Does this guy have an obsession in black?

He has a 60" plasma TV, a theater system, a component, a large dresser, a door that she is sure that leads to the bathroom, a computer set with a flat screen monitor, one laptop, an iMac, an Apple notebook, a desk and a lamp. The room looks nice and clean. He seems to be an orderly and clean person. She placed her things beside his desk.

Shizuka stared at his resting figure and approached him. She sat on the end of the bed beside him and grabbed his arm. Itachi shot his eyes open and hissed at her. "What are you doing?!"

Shizuka ignored his warning and opened the dressing she did a while ago. She held his hand and examined the wound closely. She gave out a grunt.

"I'm very sorry for earlier. But you should go to the hospital. Your wound seems pretty deep."

"Don't tell me what to do." Itachi hissed at her. She seemed unafraid and gave out a sigh.

"You are so stubborn."

"You're annoying."

"You are an ass."

"You're so nosy."

"For Pete's sake! Just follow what I tell you!"

"No."

"Do you want that to get infected?"

"Hn."

"You know, I won't stop bugging you until you say yes."

"Hn."

"My brother died because of that infection." Shizuka said out of the blue. Itachi was taken back and just kept quiet. Thinking this was a sign to go on, she went on.

"Funny isn't it? That was my very huge mistake. Of letting him go." She lowered her head and tears began swelling in her eyes.

"It was very wrong of me! Up until now, even five years have passed; I still can't forget the day I let him go." Then the tears were released. Tiny droplets of tears fell on her lap. Itachi looked guilty. Why do I feel guilty?

"Hn. Fine."

Shizuka was surprised. She smiled widely. "W-what?! Are you serious?!"

"You heard me. After the project."

"Yay!" Shizuka just jumped up and down in pure joy. Itachi just smirked at her reaction. It's so easy to make her happy.

"Let's start now!" She exclaimed. Itachi turned up his PC but Shizuka was the first one to use. She browsed his songs and saw Someday we'll know by Mandy Moore. She clicked it and it began to play.

They began making the Thesis project. A nerd + a genius, is equals to work done in a matter of hours.

"Well, Itachi-san. We finished early." Shizuka just smiled. Itachi 'hmped' and turned away from her. Shizuka giggled at his reaction. The two's conversation was disturbed when someone came.

"Oh, Itachi. Good evening. Would you mind telling me who this lovely girl beside you is?" the very gentle voice of Uchiha Mikoto was heard.

"Oh, mother."

Upon hearing the word 'mother', Shizuka instantly bowed down and greeted her.

"Good evening, Uchiha-sama. I'm Aoyama Shizuka. Itachi-san's partner in the Thesis project. Nice to meet you."

Wow. Not Itachi-kun or Uchiha-kun? Mikoto gave out a laugh. "Oh dear. No need to bow that low. Please. Don't call me Uchiha-sama. It sounds so old. Just call me Mikoto or Mikoto-san. It's nice meeting you too. It's about 7 PM. Why don't you just stay here and join us for dinner. Come. Come."

"Oh, Ma'am. No need. I was about to leave anyway. Thanks for the offer though."

"No dear. I won't take such excuses. You'll join us for dinner. I'll get mad if you don't."

Shizuka sweat dropped. "O-kay. If you insist. But we have to go somewhere first, Mikoto-san. Itachi-san here needs to go to the hospital." Shizuka stated.

"Huh?! Hospital?! Why?!" Mikoto was beginning to panic.

"Itachi was bitten by Shadow a while ago. He probably thought Shizuka-san is an intruder. Don't worry Mother. Shizuka-san already gave his wound first aid." A new voice spoke up.

"Sasuke-chan! What did you do to your dearest older brother?!" Mikoto exclaimed and lunged at Sasuke.

"What the hell mother?! I didn't do anything!" Sasuke exclaimed as he tried prying his mother's arms from his neck.

Itachi and Shizuka just stared at their 'moment' and sweatdropped. "Umm, Mikoto-san. We'll be going now."

"Okay. Be careful of my Itachi. I'll prepare dinner for us."

Both kids nodded and moved downstairs. When they were gone, Mikoto asked her youngest son what happened.

"Itachi took the attack for her. It's quite weird though. She was the only person to convince him to go to a hospital."

"There's a chance for the two of them. Hihihi…they just need a little encouragement." Mikoto smirked devilishly. Sasuke sighed exasperatedly.

"For Pete's sake, Mother! Come on."

He was about to retort but he was too late. Once Mikoto decides, there's no way it could be ruined. I pity you Itachi. Good luck to you.

IN THE HOSPITAL

"Uhuh…hmm…yeah…sure…O-kay. Your wound's fine. Just clean it and voila! It would heal in a matter of days. I'm pretty positive it won't leave a scar." The doctor stated.

Shizuka gave out a sigh of relief. "Thank you very much doctor." She came near the doctor and shook hands with him.

"Young lady, come near me. Please." Shizuka's face scrunched up in confusion but nevertheless sat down the chair near the doctor's table. Itachi watched closely.

The doctor slowly removed her glasses and examined it. "Hmmm…yeah…uhuh….sure…o-kay. I'm no ophthalmologist but I must say you have very good eyes. I mean your eyes could still be fixed with corrective glasses. And you have beautiful eyes I must add." Shizuka blushed.

"Thanks, doctor." Shizuka got her glasses back and they left together for the Uchiha estate.

They went inside the car and drove silently to the Uchiha estate. Itachi was staring outside and Shizuka was fiddling on her skirt.

"So…does it hurt?" Shizuka tried sparking up a conversation.

"No."

"Oh." Without anything to talk about, she kept silent.

I really suck at this.

You sure do.

Shut up.

Make me.

Shizuka didn't bother to reply. It was no more than 15 minutes when they arrived at the Uchiha estate.

"Oh Shizuka-chan! Itachi-chan! Welcome home!" Mikoto came to hug the two of them.

"Mikoto-san. The doctor said he should clean it everyday and it would heal."

"Oh that is absolutely great!" Mikoto clasped her hands together. "You should really follow the doctor's advice."

"Hn."

"Oh let's go inside. Food's ready! Come!" Mikoto stated with much enthusiasm.

It's about 10 o'clock PM when Shizuka decided to leave. After eating dinner, Mikoto requested her to stay a little bit more to watch a movie. Sasuke excused himself and left for his bedroom to sleep. She didn't realize the time and just saw it was already 10 PM.

"Uhm, Mikoto-san. I really need to leave. It's already so late."

"Okay then, dear. Where do you live? So Itachi could drop you home." Shizuka shot up her hands in disapproval.

"No need, Mikoto-san. I'll be fine. Besides, it would only be a bother to him."

"Definitely no! You are our responsibility."

Shizuka let out a sigh. "Okay I give up. Thank you very much. I live there just in the University village."

"Oh, there? But dear. You're already past the curfew."

"Curfew?"

"Yes. The curfew. Have you forgotten? It just started today."

Then realization dawned on her. She slapped her forehead with her hand. "Oh goodness! Yeah the curfew starts today!" I'm so stupid.

"I'm so sorry for that. It's my fault."

"Don't worry Mikoto-san. It's okay." Where will I stay now?

"Dear! Why don't you just stay here?"

Shizuka seemed very uncertain about this 'why don't you just stay here' offer. But she has no choice. Accept the offer or sleep in the road.

"Okay. If it's fine with you."

"It's absolutely fine! Right?" Mikoto bellowed as she nudged Itachi with her elbow hard in his stomach.

Itachi slightly touched the sore part. "Hn. Whatever." Tch. She does hit hard for a woman. This will definitely leave a bruise.

"Shizuka-san, your room is here." Shizuka muttered a 'thanks' before going inside the door. She surveyed her surroundings. The room was absolutely gorgeous! The wallpapers were blue, even the carpet! The bed is king-sized and it's color blue too. She placed her things at the bedside and got the clothes lent to her. Pink pajamas. O-kay. Nice.

She decided to take a shower. She took off her glasses and stepped in the bathroom. She turned on the shower and hissed in pain as the water hit her skin. Stupid. It's hot. She turned the knob slowly to the center. There you go. Lukewarm water, good for the skin. She scrubbed her skin with a scented soap and washed off the bubbles and wrapped a towel around her.

She went outside and was about to change when the door creaked open. There stood Itachi face to face with Shizuka in her towel. Shizuka instantly turned red and threw a pillow at him.

"Kyaa! Pervert!"

"Hey!" He successfully caught all things threw to him. Except for a very hard object that hit his wound. "Shit." He hissed. He crouched down in pain. Shizuka stopped and immediately attended to him.

"Oh my God! Did I hit your wound?"

"Hn."

"Sorry!" Then Shizuka averted her gaze to Itachi, whose face was only inches away from hers. She immediately blushed and stood up quickly.

"I'll just be outside." Itachi stated unfeelingly.

"Okay." Shizuka replied with so much uneasiness. She quickly shut the door and let out her breath she has been holding for too long.

God. I'm going crazy.

Yeah. You really are.

No. I'm not.

Yeah right. Then it must be love all along.

You're no good.

Thank you. Hey don't make lover boy wait for too long.

Shut up!

Shizuka immediately changed into her pajamas and went outside the door. Itachi didn't stare at her straight in the eye. Maybe embarrassed.

"Mother wants you downstairs." After uttering the message, he walked downstairs right away. It took seconds before Shizuka registered it in her brain.

"Hey! Don't leave me!"

She headed right downstairs trailing behind Itachi. Wow. So awkward. She walked side by side with him. Itachi remained his cool façade and his impassive face. They arrived at the living room and approached Mikoto.

"Mother." He spoke with his deep and husky voice. Mikoto turned around and smiled.

"So, did you like your room?"

"Yes. It was absolutely gorgeous."

Mikoto looked at the grandfather clock displayed in the living room. "You two should sleep now. Growing kids need 8 hours of sleep. Go."

"But how about you, Mikoto-san?"

"Tch. Don't worry about me. Besides, I still have things to do."

Shizuka looked hesitant. "Okay then. Good night Mikoto-san."

"Good night dear, good night Itachi-chan."

Shizuka and Itachi went upstairs and into their particular rooms. When Itachi gripped the door knob, Shizuka spoke up.

"Good night, Itachi."

"Hn."

The two of them went inside their rooms. Itachi laid down his bed and turned off his lamp. Today was sure an interesting one.

Yipee! I'm done with chapter 1! Sorry for the mistakes and stuff. Just tell me. Thanks.
