Summary: It started as a favor to a friend. Soon, the whole school "knew" that Miss Teacher's Pet aka Valedictorian aka Little Goody Two-shoes aka: "Sakura Haruno.. is a slut!"

Author Note: I'm so glad this story got such a great response! As a lot of you know, this movie will be coming out soon. I'm going to continue this fic whether the story doesn't line up or not, though. I only made this based off the movie, not intending to completely follow the story line! Oh, and make sure you read my note at the end of this chapter (:

By the way- I know I'm going out of order. But I wanted to get this second chapter out before the movie- just so I can kind of set up somewhat of a layout for my fic BEFORE I see the movie and get influenced haha. I hope you all will continue reading this even after you've seen the movie...

AND I knowwww this is short. But, for the same reason as the sentence before. The rest will be longer, I promise (:

Story Note: Fuck all these boys. Time to bring Sasuke in some, eh? (: Maybe not this chapter though. Or maybe yes. Decisions, decisions..

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, or Easy A!

"Don't give me that look, Ino-pig!"

Ino's accusatory glare didn't leave her bright blue eyes.

"Listen, I told you the story. It was Juugo, for fuck's sake!"

"Funny you should use that wording, you whore!" The blond shot back. She wasn't angry Sakura had sex- actually, Ino was ecstatic her best friend finally removed that stick up her ass and discovered it felt so much better when placed in other locations. She was, however, angry her best friend hadn't even given her a heads up of what was going to happen! In her own guest bedroom for God's sake. Ino had been forced to find out through Karin- KARIN of all people! This was not something best friends were supposed to do!

"Ino, I didn't have sex with Juugo!"

The two friends were couped up at the very edge of the cafeteria, sitting a good two tables away from any other student. Classes hadn't even started yet, but Sakura already felt the many eyes glued on her figure as people walked through the doors. Maybe she was just being paranoid, though. Maybe she was just imagining things.

It was only sex, after all.

"Forehead, everyone heard you, and you're going to try to deny it? I thought we were friends," Ino gave the pink headed girl a pout, "I told you when I lost it to Shika, didn't I?"

"I swear to you, Pig, it was fake. I just made noises! We can go to the freakin' gyno and they can check, if you honestly don't believe me."

Sakura's nerves were wearing down at this point, and the feeling of stares at her back were becoming to feel more real than imagined. Come on, was it such a big deal that she'd "had sex"? Everyone had had sex! It was like that "Everyone's doing it" type of thing, only this one was actually true. Fucking Ino had already done like, 6 people, and they were worried about her one time? Don't even forget the outrageous number Karin was at by now- that's just disgusting.

Ino's eyes were narrowed in thought, a fight between believing her best friend or the evidence waging behind the blue orbs.

"But..why?"

"I already told you like, four times! He wanted people to think he'd lost his virginity, and asked me to help. That's it."

Ino held up a pinky, "Pinky promise then!"

"Ugh, are you serious, Pig?"

"Sakura! Do you want me to believe you or not? I'm going against all evidence here just thinking about trusting you!"

Sakura rolled her eyes before curling her own pinky around Ino's. The blond grinned, "I knew you were still a virgin."

"No you didn't."

"Yes I did! Deep down I did, at least. I know you'd tell me if you had."

"…"

"Right, Sakura?"

"..Sure."

"Forehead!"

The bell rang for first block, and the two girls stood. They had class right next to each other, but Ino was retaking Pre-Calculus this year while Sakura hadn't been a dumbass and had actually studied for the final and passed the test- therefore had taken Calculus.

"Yes, I'd tell you Ino. Damn, calm down, I was only kidding."

Ino waved at a freshman boy who was staring at her in awe; the boy turned bright red and walked away. "Anyway, I know it wouldn't be with Juugo either. Remember that promise we made to each other back in sixth grade?"

Sakura felt her cheeks flame up. How did Ino manage to remember something that happened 6 years ago, but couldn't remember something she'd learned in math two hours ago? Hoping Ino would go off on a tangent, Sakura stayed quiet and didn't answer. They climbed the steps, successfully avoiding the frantic mob trying to get to class on time. Whenever Sakura walked with Ino, kids in the hallway would part the like Red Sea. Something about the girl's platinum blond hair, bright blue eyes, perfectly sculpted features and curvy body made everyone, consciously or unconsciously, step out of her way.

When it was just Sakura, everyone seemed to move in to her way..

The pinkette thought she was in the clear when they reached Ino's classroom. But, of course, life sucks. So she wasn't.

Perhaps Ino had forgotten her previous question, but when a certain boy turned the corner ahead of them, it brought her mind back around. He was walking with a slow, uncaring confidence Sakura was sure he didn't even notice, his blue shirt tight across his shoulders and jeans a little baggy. A number of girls behind him were bumping in to one another, trying to be the one closest, yet somehow an extremely pleased looking redhead had been able to attach herself to the sculpted arm of the one drawing the attention of most, if not all, of the hallway.

She heard a delighted chuckle from the blond, "Don't you remember?"

Trying desperately to avoid this conversation, Sakura sped up in an attempt to make it to her class before Ino continued this conversation. A small hand shot out and grabbed her arm.

"Hey, I'm talking to you!"

"Exactly.." Sakura mumbled.

The blond rolled her eyes, "I promised to lose it to Shika..." Ino started, wrapping her arm around Sakura's shoulders and turning them both to face the handsome boy walking towards them, a mob of females gawking behind him. Sakura watched, a little awkwardly, as Karin leaned up and whispered in to the boy's ear. No reaction crossed his face, and Karin pouted a bit before leaving his personal bubble alone again.

"And you-"

Dark, onyx eyes caught green, and a smirk flashed across his face.

Wait.

Had that just happened?

"Promised to lose it to-"

No, no way. Had he just acknowledged Sakura?

Nah, she just imagined that.

But- holy shit- was he still looking at her? She felt heat rising to her face, careful not to look the boy in the eyes as he entered the Calculus room- the only class they shared together.

Did that really just happened?

Sakura shook her head, she was going crazy. It was only a look. Who cares? Obviously he has to look at something, it doesn't mean anything that his eyes happened to wander to her. She was taking this way too seriously.

Who cares about that boy anyway?

Not her! Pffft.

"Sasuke Uchiha!"

Sakura slapped a hand across Ino's mouth, looking around in horror to see who had just witnessed this conversation. Luckily for her, the majority of the people in the hallway were scrambling to make it to the class before the final bell and weren't paying enough attention to catch it.

"That meant nothing, Ino! God, could you be any louder, please?" She dropped her hand in disgust when her friend licked it, wiping in across her jeans as Ino stuck her tongue out.

"Just taking a walk down memory lane, Forehead!" With that, the blond left in to her class. Sakura walked in to her own, a little irritated and completely ignoring all the eyes that were following her to her seat. Which, of course for her and her great luck, was stationed right in front of Sasuke.

They were suppose to be in alphabetical order. Haruno..Uchiha...how did that happen, you ask?

He had sat between a girl and Naruto originally. That didn't work out, because Naruto was even more loud and obnoxious with Sasuke around, and the girl in front of him would spent all of class turned around staring at him. Finally Kakashi-sensei had gotten sick of it, and decided he needed to be moved where he wouldn't cause such a distraction. Fitting enough, the only option that left was behind Sakura, in the very back seat, because Sakura never seemed to pay any mind to Sasuke, or Sasuke to her, so it worked out perfectly.

Other than the fact he annoyed Sakura.

Even though he didn't do anything.

Maybe that was the reason he was so irritating.

It wasn't until she'd spent a good five minutes in her chair that she noticed everyone in the room was staring at her. ...Awkward.

Even the girl in front of her was craned around in her seat to look. Sakura glared, "What?"

That seemed to snap everyone out of their trance, and the other twenty kids in the class turned back to their own business. There was still one person looking at her, though. She was sure. She felt it.

He was probably drilling holes in the back of her head by now.

Sakura turned a bit to look back at Sasuke, who was, sure enough, looking directly at her.

"What?"

He didn't answer, of course. Why would her talk to a mere mortal like herself? No, certainly he wouldn't lower himself to that extent. He was Sasuke Uchiha, after all. So great. Amazing. Arrogant son of a bitch. Sakura honestly didn't know what she had seen in him all those years ago, other than the looks. Okay, so his looks managed to make up for a lot... The boy only kept watching, with those completely blank eyes that made her feel like an idiot for even looking at him.

"Do you need a pencil again, or something?"

Basically the only words exchanged between the two of them was when Sasuke had been too uncaring to get his own damn pencil. Which was usually everyday.

"Hn."

She practically threw one on his desk before turning around, patience running thin with waiting for their teacher.

Something in her purse vibrated. Sakura glanced around, then decided it didn't matter if her phone was out, since Kakashi wasn't even there. She pulled out her iPhone, tapping in her password quickly.

That was strange.

.

Sakura, this is Temari.
I have a favor I need
to ask. Mind meeting
up when you're out
of school?

.

That was even stranger.

She saved the number, opening up a new text. What did Temari need from her? The girl was three years older than her. She had graduated when Sakura was only a sophomore. In fact, the only interaction the two had was one time in the lunchroom when Ino had yelled at the older girl for flirting with Shikamaru, and Temari had looked at Sakura and told her to control her raging friend.

.

To: Temari

Sure. I work later, tho.
Maybe you can come
in there, if it isn't too
important. The cafe
in the mall.

.

She felt the air shift behind her before she heard someone beside her ear breathing.

"Talking to Juugo?"

His voice was deep and low, quiet enough for her ears only, but loud enough to send a shiver down her spine. Did he just enjoy doing this to women, or was he seriously unaware of his presence?

His breath tickled her ear before she heard a subtle chuckle, and the boy leaned back in to his own chair.

Yup, he definitely just enjoyed it.

A little peeved he'd just used her like that, Sakura whipped around to glare at him. Oh, two could play at this game!

"And if I am?"

She pinkette smirked, glancing down at a new text.

.

From: Temari

Be there at 6.

.

The Uchiha didn't answer, but Sakura didn't give him the satisfaction of backing down. She continued glaring at him. Perhaps like a child, but she didn't care.

"Why should you care, anyway?"

A dark smirk sprang across his face, one edged with mockery. "I don't."

"Jealous, maybe?"

"Not a chance in hell, Haruno." And his smirk just grew wider with each word, and the pinkette refused to admit that statement sent a little shred of anguish through her veins. Regardless, she let her green eyes roll a little before turning in her seat away from the arrogant boy. She'd never let him affect her before, ignoring back in her elementary and middle school days, and she certainly wasn't going to let him now. She wouldn't have him degrading her either. She wasn't going to back down.

If he thought it was funny to poke fun at her for "having" sex, then she would prove to him that his words didn't mean shit.

Sakura would embrace this lie, make it her own, and let him eat his own words. He and the rest of this hypocritical, judgmental and idiotic school would all feel like dumbasses when this was said and done. They thought she was some spectacle because she lost her virginity?

Ha, let them try to get under her skin. Oh, no. They will never win.

Sakura was going to make every single person eat their words if they thought they could bring her down.

So, I'm taking suggestions.

Anyone have someone they'd really like to see Sakura 'fuck'? :P good ideas will be made in to chapters! I have quite a few of my own, but I'm really interested to see who you all would like involved in this story!
