CHAPTER 2

Everyone was in the class was waiting for Kakashi-sensei, their homeroom teacher. Sasuke and his gang were surrounded by girls. Neji was listening to his iPod while listening to the girls' poems and the rest were being annoyed by the fans.

'Sheesh! I hate these fan girls! Why can't they be more like Sakura? Cool, pretty, and not obsessing with someone and I hate to see the red-hair dude harassing Sakura and act innocent again,' Sasuke thought.

"Don't worry. He's not acting. He's just being friendly. Don't worry about your Sakura," said Neji.

'WTH?! He just read my mind!' he thought.

"No, I don't read minds," he replied.

'Yikes! He just heard me! He's physic!' Sasuke thought again.

"Nope, I'm not physic," he said. 'AAAHHH!! He's an alien!' he screamed in his mind. Neji was annoyed.

On the other hand, Sakura and her friends were being flirted by boys. Apparently, they are also the heartthrobs of the school. Ino, who totally likes boys (she likes Shikamaru the best so she's kind of a playgirl), talked with the boys. Hinata was almost fainted as usual, TenTen helped Hinata to scare away the boys and Sakura played card games with the boys. She did say that to her, boys are either friends or enemies.

Then, Kakashi-sensei opened the door and walked in. "Hey kids. I was just on the way to class when I saw a black and blue cat walki-"his sentence was being cut off by the students shouting "Liar!!".

Kakashi-sensei sweat dropped. "Anyway, there's a new student. Please come in!" said Kakashi-sensei as the red-hair boy walked in. Sasuke, Sakura and their friends' eyes widened.

"Introduce yourself," said Kakashi-sensei.

"Hello! My name's Gaara. Nice to meet you!" said, you've guessed it, Gaara. "Ok, Gaara. You'll sit in between Sasuke and Sakura,".

Gaara didn't recognize Sasuke but as he noticed Sakura had an empty seat beside her, he knew. He walked over to Sakura and gave her a smile. Sakura smiled back.

'Hmph! There goes my view for Sakura. And he also acts nice and innocent. It's sickening!' Sasuke thought.

"I know. Me too," said Neji. Sasuke wasn't shocked at Neji as he continued staring at Sakura and Gaara.

'Sakura-chan never smiled at me like that before. Oh yeah, because I was rude to her, but who cares?' Sasuke thought. As Gaara settled down at his seat, he looked at Sasuke and held out his hand

"HI! I'm Gaara! Nice to meet you!"He said but Sasuke turned his back on Gaara. Then, a frown appeared on his face.

'Gaara doesn't deserve to be treated this way! He's way to kind!' thought Sakura.

"It's ok Gaara. He's just an idiot who only thinks about himself. You don't deserve to be with him. Come get your chair and sit next to me and play Uno!"Said Sakura to Gaara. She felt sorry for him. Gaara smiled as he did what he was told.

"What's Uno?" he asked so innocently. Sakura explained the rules to him as Sasuke heard what they said.

'How come Sakura-chan called me an idiot? Oh yeah, I heard her saying that before. But, she was nice to 'Gaara ' and be friends with her less than 1 hour and I've been with her since kindergarten and yet we still can't be friends. What did I do to her anyway?' Sasuke thought.

FLASHBACK

"Hey there! I'm Sakura! Nice to meet you!" said little Sakura with a grin on her face.

'She smiles like Naruto, so she must be an annoying brat and one of the fan girls' thought Sasuke. (Wow! 4 years old and already had fans? Awesome!)

"Hn," he replied.

"It's that all you can say?" Sakura asked.

Sasuke noticed her hair is different. "Hey, is your hair natural pink or its just chewing gum stuck in your hair?" Sasuke asked.

"It's natural! Do you like it?" she asked while swirling around.

'Wow! She looks like a model and looks cute too!' he thought.

"No. It makes me want to throw up!" he replied.

Sakura got really mad and it's the birth of her short tempered attitude.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY?!" she shouted.

"Get lost woman, or I'll call the police!" said Sasuke. (Hahaha!! Kids!)

"All I wanted to do is to be your friend because you are always attracted by the girls but you are so rude! To think that I wanted to be friends with you! I wonder if you put a spell to everyone to like you?" she shouted. "I will never be friends with you for as long as I live!"

END FLASHBACK

'Ok, so maybe it was my fault,' he thought. Then, the bell rang. 'Sakura and I had P.E. I wonder if that red-hair dude has P.E too'.

"Hey, Gaara. What do you have next? I have P.E," Sakura asked. Gaara examined his timetable as Sasuke tried to eavesdrop.

"Maths. I guess I have to go now. Ja ne!" said Gaara. 'Yes! Now I can show my kindness to Sakura-chan!' Sasuke thought. The rest of Sakura's friends also went off.

Sakura looked at Sasuke as he smiled.

'He's smiling? He's actually smiling? No grinning? No smirking? That's weird. He must be sick or something,' Sakura thought as walk over to Sasuke. Sasuke was deeply shocked. 'She's walking to me! I guess a little bit of kindness really pays off!' Sasuke thought.

"Ne, Sasuke? Are you ok? You're smiling at me. Do you want me to take you to the nurse's office? "Asked Sakura.

'Sakura-chan thinks I'm sick and acts weirdly. What an idiot! I was only trying to show some kindness. Maybe I can act along,' Sasuke thought.

"Yes, Sakura-chan. I somehow feel weak. I don't have flu or anything. Don't worry! I'll go to P.E with you," I said, trying to act sick. 'Wow! He's really sick! He called me Sakura-chan and act nicely. I better take care of him since we're the only student from this class go for P.E class,' Sakura thought. She grabbed Sasuke's arm around her neck.

"At P.E class, please try not to push yourself. I'll take you to the gym," said Sakura. "Hehehe. She fell for it!' Sasuke thought.

Just then, Neji stood in front of them. "Sasuke, what's wrong with you? You're okay?" he asked.

'Damn you Neji. Hey, he can read my mind. Hey wait, Neji. Could you leave us for a moment? I'm trying to act sick here,' Sasuke thought, trying to communicate with Neji. He read his mind and nod.

"HEY SASUKE! WHAT'S WRONG?" shouted, yes, Naruto.

"Dobe, I'm right here you know. You don't need to shout," said Sasuke.

He thought himself that if he's not pretending to be sick, he would punch Naruto in the head by that time. Shikamaru was there too.

"Alright, alright. Leave them alone. They need to go to the gym," said Neji while shoving Naruto and Shikamaru away. Sasuke gave him a thank-you-I-owe-you-one look.

"Let's head of, shall we?" asked Sasuke as they walked to the door. On the way to the gym, there are countless death glares from boys and girls, even the seniors.

"Hey, don't you feel that this place is like a death trap? I mean, look at all the stares. Maybe they would get the wrong idea about us," Sakura whispered to Sasuke. Inside, he's laughing.

'I feel like I'm going to wear a shirt that says 'HELPING PERSON TO NURSE'S OFFICE. PLEASE DON'T GLARE' so they won't get the wrong idea. They should sell them, you know,' Sakura thought as the girls' glares got creepier.

As they reached to the gym, Sakura said "This is where we part," as she went to the locker room and gave a little wave to Sasuke. 'Mission accomplished!' he screamed inside his head.

IN THE GYM

"Alright, I'm sorry boys and girls, but please change into your swimsuits because we will have swimming today!" announced the P.E teacher, Gai-sensei. Everyone cheered because they only wanted to show their bodies and skills to the most famous heartthrobs in the school, which are Sasuke and Sakura.

After 15 minutes, Sakura came out of the changing room and saw Sasuke dipping his feet in the swimming pool which is located in the school gym.

"Sasuke, are you alright now? Do you want to swim?" she asked. Sasuke looked at her.

'Whoa! She's cute!' Sasuke was about to say 'no' because he wanted to see Sakura swimming and he suddenly felt a sharp pain in the chest, not pretending, when the boys whistled at her. Sakura heard them and gave them a wave. Seriously, Sakura doesn't know the difference between 'flirting' and 'calling'. This made Sasuke wanted to swim. Their lesson was a race. Sasuke and Sakura are the ONLY one who can swim because they paid attention to Gai-sensei while the others paid attention to them. Sakura and Sasuke went on to the first race, a 400m race. As Gai-sensei blew his whistle, they started to swim.

They both have such great speed. At the 300m, Sakura started to sprint (I don't know what you called 'swim fast' in a word). At the finishing line, Sakura won.

"Sasuke! I beat you!" she shouted but when she looked around, he was no where in sight.

"Sasuke? Where are you?" she asked. The others are also looking for him. Then, in the middle of the swimming pool, there was a splash from beneath the swimming pool. It was Sasuke, grasping for air.

"Help! He—"he was drowned. "Sasuke!! Anyone, jump into the water and save Sasuke!" Sakura shouted. She was too far away. Then, she remembered that the rest can't swim.

'Damn it! Why do I have to do all the work here?' she asked herself as she swam back to get Sasuke. She was really tired but she tried her best to save him. When she reached to Sasuke, she tried to pull him out but his legs were caught to the lines on the water where it shows the lane of the race and dragged him down.

'Damn it!' she cursed. Well, there's only one thing to do. She dived into the water.
