Chapter 2: Why so distant?

"Bye Sakura!" Ino called from the school entrance. The first day was finally done, and all the stress suddenly disappeared.

"Bye Ino" Sakura shouted back starting her way home.

Sakura walked home sort of sullenly. Having Sasuke uchiha in every one of her classes except for Civics was sort of weird, Orochimaru creeped her out with his interest in snakes, she got suffocated by Asuma's smoking cigarette, and Kurenai's stare scared her. And everytime she tried to talk to Sasuke, it was either a 'hn' or 'aa' if she was lucky, or just complete and utter silence, which pissed her off.

'He's such a jerk!' she thought stubbornly. Huffing, while she crossed her arms, not noticing the guy infront of her and bumped into him.

"O-oh I'm sorry" she apologized and looked up. Sasuke turned around to come face to face with Sakura. "You again" he deadpanned. The front of his hair blowing from the slight breeze made him look so sexy.

Sakuras apologetic face turned into a scowl, ignoring the way he looked "What do you mean 'you again?'" Again she was ignored, and he continued to walk. She scowled at his back and ran up to him "Mou, why are you so cold?"

Sasuke didn't look at Sakura "I'm perfectly warm" Sakura rolled her eyes "No dummy, why are you so distant?"

"Sasuke gave her a cold glare "I don't owe you an explanation" he stated picking up his pace in walking, Sakura had to skip in order to keep up. "Fine then don't!"

......(pause)

"Do you live down here?" she asked. Sasuke rolled his eyes "No, i'm just walking here because i feel like walking with you" he deadpanned, a hint of sarcasm in his voice that Sakura didn't notice. Sakura looked hopeful "Really?"

Sasuke rolled his eyes at her and slowed down his pace "No" She pouted and looked the other way. 'Shes so dense' Sasuke thought staring at her with a bemused expression.

They walked in silence with faint tension, until Sakura finally stopped at a house "Can we walk together tomorrow too?" she asked while walking up the steps. Sasuke kept on walking, and a "hn" was all she heard. She sighed, and opened her door with the keys to her house.

"Hes so arrogant' she whispered as she stepped into her quiet house, and closed the door.

-Next Day

Sakura arrived the usual fifteen minutes early, hoping Sasuke was at the tree. Her thoughts confirmed when she saw him in the same shady tree spot reading the same book. She walked over to the shady area. The sun was blazing hot, and barely any wind blew, and the heat was making her shirt all sweaty. She hated sweat.

Sakura sat down next to sasuke and hugged her knees, she stared at him for a while to see if he would make any acknowledgment as to if she were there or not.

..... Sasuke yawned and flipped a page.

"Good morning Sasuke-kun!" Sakura chirped, gritting her teeth out.

"hn" rude as always.

She stayed quiet for a few minutes fixing her gaze in the beauty before her. Since today was so hot, he opened up his shirt and she could see a bit of his muscular chest.

"Stop staring, its annoying" mumbled Sasuke flipping the page to his book.

Sakura blushed "Sorry, I'm just glad that your actually talking instead of saying nothing" she said fiddling with her red school skirt. Sasuke said nothing and continued to read, silence took over. Silence, something Sakura couldn't deal with even though she lived on her own mopst of the time.

"Is that book good?" she asked trying to start up a conversation was hard with this guy, and she was afraid that she would get ignored by him again. He said nothing for ten seconds then murmured.

"Yeah"

Sakura went on "What's it about?" she asked 'I'm finally getting somewhere!' she screamed in her mind

Sasuke flipped the page and read "A guy" was all he said.

Sakura stared at him "What does this guy do?" she urged, trying to get at least a bit of information. He paused for a second before taking a glance at her "He does whatever he wants, but soon realizes the consequences to his actions" he explained un-clearly. No character, no plot, no description what so ever.

Sakura frowned, her mind racing ' i don't get it' she thought. "Thats confusing" she wondered "Sounds like a deep book....., can i read it after you?" she asked, but inside she was thinking 'why the hell do i wanna read th is no-name book?'. Sasuke looked up at her "Its the libraries" he explained "And you don't look like the type to read these kinds of things" he stared at her judgmentally. "Oh yeah?" she crossed her arms 'he's right' she thought quite annoyed. "Well what type do i look like in 'book 'terms?"

Sasuke looked at her as though he was studying her "You look like.... you would read those picture books with big writing in it" he gave the most sexiest smirk ever. Sakura glared 'Hey! I'm not dumb! And i don't look dumb either! For your info I'm smarter than you jerk!" she pointed at Sasuke, emerald eyes blazing.

Sasuke continued to smirk "Really?" he asked sarcastically.

"Really' sakura confirmed "I have an 89% average! And i plan on getting into medical school to become a doctor!" she huffed.

"Thats a pretty big goal there for a little pink haired girl like you" he accused "And you have to be smart for and 89% average."

"Well thats what i have!" said Sakura, "what do you have? 60? 50?"

"Not that its any of your business...92%" he said now putting down his book, from the distracting of the booming girl beside him 'But I'm not as good as Shikamaru, with a 98% average."

Sakuras jaw dropped "A ninety-two percent? Your such a liar! And this Shikamru dude should be in private school or something!" she sighed.

Sasuke shrugged "Then don't believe me." Sakura glared "Fine! Then don't believe me either!" she crossed her arms, which Sasuke for her to be a habit of doing all the time. Sasuke smirked "I didn't say i didn't believe you." Sakura looked at him "Well i didn't either."

"Yes you did."

"No, I didn't." she stuck her tounge out at him

"Tch, annoying"

"Your more annoying!"

"..."

"..."

BRRRRRRRRRRIIIING

Sakura got up "See you in algebra" she said running off. Sasuke looked up to see her already halfway down the field 'Shes so stupid' he thought 'she forgot her backpack'. Sasuke saw the small black back pack displayed on the floor. Sighing, he got up grabbing his own back pack, picked Sakura's up and walked to the school.

"OMG Sakura!!! is it true that you walked home with Sasuke yesterday?" Inos voice was the first thing she heard when she got into the building. "And is it true that you sat next to Sasuke in that tree area before school?"

Sakura's eye twitched "Yeah, and he totally ignored me the whole time, how did you know?" Sakura decided to lie on the ignoring part to avoid inos babbling, somethign she learned these past two days.

Ino winked "I have my resources" she said creepily. "See? And i told you that he would ignore you!" Ino and Sasuke stopped at Inos locker.

"Okay, Ino...I gotta get my back pack, see you in class!"

"Kay" Ino shrugged and opened her locker.

Sakura went to her locker to grab her backpack....

'wheres my backpack again?' she stopped when she opened her locker.

Sakura slapped her forehead, remembering her backpack by the tree.

'Stupid stupid Sakura!' she metally cursed slamming her locker and making her way to the exit to get her backpack, Kakashi would be late anyways. She saw Sasuke turned a corner swiftly who was holding something familiar.

My backpack!' Sakura thought gleefully.

"Sasuke-kun!" Sakura ran up to him and grabbed her backpack for his hands, "Thanks!" she smiled and skipped back to her locker. Sasuke had a bored expression. "aa" he mumble to himself walking to his locker past Sakuras, because of a weird feeling inside...

Sakura shoved her backpack in her locker after grabbing her books "Come on Sasuke-kun were gonna be late!" she jumped up and down as Sasuke slowly opened his locker to put his things in. "Stop jumping" he ordered, "And whats with the sudden change of the suffix?" he smirked. Sakura stopped jumping "I like it better, unless it bothers you" she said poking him afew times.

Sasuke didn't say anything, but closed his locker shut after grabbing his supplies "Lets go!" Sakura grabbed his hand and pulled her to the algebra class. Sasuke had never been in contact with another human in ages, so feeling her soft hand clutching his own..... felt usually weirdly freakishly... Good.

But the feeling ended when they entered the noise filled class. Sasuke stalked over to his seat with a brooding expression in place, Sakura sat beside him due to here assigned seat.

"SAKURA-CHAN! TEME!" Naruto called from his desk that was across.

"What?" asked Sasuke not making eye contact with the blonde, Sakura looked up at him.

Naruto took a deep breath "I SAW THIS ULTRA FREAKY BOWL SHAPED HAIR DUDE WITH THE MOST FREAKIEST EYEBROWS ALIVE! I MEAN THEY WERE LIVING AND HIS EYES ARE SHAPED LIKE DINNER PLATES AND HE WEARS THIS GREEN SPANDEX THINGY UNDER HIS UNIFORM!!"

"..." Sasuke continued to stare out the window.

"Thats not very nice Naruto!" scolded Sakura. "No but seriously!" Naruto dragged his chair over to the part of Sakura's desk and leaned on it "He didn't look normal! And what was worse was there was an older version of the guy, and they both had fricken sparkling teeth!"

Sakura sighed "And who do you think he is? The new guy?"

Naruto shivered "I dunno, hes just creepy"

"Dobe, go back to your seat" Sasuke spoke when he saw Kakashi get out of his car from the window he was currently looking at.

"So Sakura-chan!" Naruto said ignoring Sasuke "Wanna go out sometime?" he blurted grinning. Sakura blushed and Sasuke scowled 'he just came over here to ask her out?, Idiot' he thought bitterly.

"I-I uh...." Sakura stuttered not really knowing what to say. Of course she liked Naruto as a friend, and didn't want a relationship, Especially in the last grade where marks counted the most. She needed at least a 90% to get into a good medical school, and didn't want any distractions.

"We can go this Sunday to a restaurant if you want! Then-GAAH" Sasukes foot suddenly acted on its own and pulled Narutos chair with such force it toppled over. Naruto face fell flat on the floor. He got up and rubbed his head cutely "OI SASUKE-TEME WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR?", he was angry that sasuke ruined his chance on a date with Sakura.

Sasuke glared "Hn" he scoffed and looked back out the window.

"GRRR SASUKE! WHY DO YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO HAVE THAT STICK STUCK UP YOUR A-"

"Good morning Naruto, may you please get off the floor and be seated?" Kakashi interrupted walking in with a bored expression, he stared at Naruto on the floor. Naruto huffed and sat back in his seat "Kakashiiiiiiii, Sasuke tripped meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!" naruto whined. Kakashi got out his orange book "Okay, turn math pages 243-244, and copy the index."The class groaned and Naruto complained again "STOP IGNORING ME!"

Sakura felt relieved. 'at least Naruto forgot about asking me out' she thought as she looked over to Sasuke, who had already began copying the index, the only thing was he looked pissed off. 'He always looks that way' she thought simply. She gazed across the room and caught Ino's stare. 'What?' she mouthed, Ino mouthed a 'We need to talk' and returned back to copying. Sakura frowned, what was so wrong with Ino?

"Naruto asked you out??" Ino asked incredulously. Sakura nodded 'how do you know all these things?" Ino rolled her eyes "Hello? Same class remember? Oh and I'm glad you didn't accept Narutos offer, because Hinata has a major crush on him, sad thing is...he doesn't know it"

Sakura stared incredulously at Ino 'Hinata likes Naruto?"

Yeah, but never mind that, what is going on with you and Sasuke-kun? He was like glaring at Naruo and they're like, best friends!!" Ino demanded as they walked into the cafeteria to grab a drink.

Sakura brought her own lunch this time. "What do you mean 'what is going on?'" Sakura asked, as Ino purchased her smoothie and Sakuras.

"You know what i mean!"

"No i don't know what you mean Ino!!" blurted Sakura crossing her arms in irritation. "Okay tell me this, has Sasuke-kun talked to you?" asked Ino. Sakura nodded, and Ino gasped "Seriously! thats a miracle, to a girl as well!" when they reached the same array of benches ino and Sakura sat down. "What so surprising?" asked Sakura. Ino set down her drink

"You!...." she paused dramatically "Are the first girl he has ever talked to ever since grade....1! You broke like, the 11 years of his life of not talking to girls!!!!" Ino explained dramatically. Sakura rolled his eyes "Your over exaggerating" she explained taking another sip.

"No seriously! He hasn't bothered to talk to any girls, or guys (except Naruto) unless its for a project or something! So everyone came to the conclusion that he was gay and liked Naruto" Sakura spat out her smoothie "Sasuke, GAY?" she laughed.

"Yeah, but now i think he like you, i mean, he looked so jealous when Naruto asked you out" Ino huffed "I'm so jealous of you right now!" Sakura stopped laughing. "He doesn't Ino! And no need to be jealous because i'm seriously not looking for a relationship" demanded Sakura fiercely. Ino looked taken back "Okay okay! It was just a possibility!"

They hadn't noticed Tenten, come up "Whats a possibility?" she asked sitting down? Ino jumped up "Where were you?? And wheres Hinata?" demanded Ino. Tenten stuck her finger in her ear "Jeeze..I was trying out for running club and Hinata's in the library" explained Tenten, "Anyways what was a possibility??" she asked sitting down next to them on the bench.

"It was-" Ino got cut off by Sakura "I gotta go somewhere" Sakura said standing up when she spotted Sasuke under the same grand looking tree reading. 'Where you going?" Tenten asked. To visit, someone!" replied Sakura before running up to the field.

Tenten and Ino stared at eachother 'Shes going to see Uchiha right?" Tenten asked. Ino nodded and frowned a little "Yeah"

_____________________________

Sasuke sat quietly reading a few pages of his book.

Everything was perfect because he was finally alone.

But something just felt wrong.

Everytime he read a page, he stopped and looked to the aside as though expecting some annoying pink-haired girl to be their in some way annoying him. Then he would go back to the page and forget everything he just read only to read it again, and to forget the context again. He threw the book and the grass and leaned back irritably growling faintly.

Somehow she just decided not to come today. 'tch, she was annoying me anyways, I'm glad shes not here' he thought stubbornly

And thought to soon.

"Sasuke-kun!!!" Sakura called out from the field, she ran toward him, Sasuke rolled his eyes, but the smallest smirk stayed visible on his lips. Sakura neared the tree area and plopped down next to him, she smiled. "I'm eating lunch here, kay?" she took out a small box out of a small bag and chopsticks.

Sasuke raised an eyebrow but still didn't look at her, "You wouldn't go away even if i forced you right" he asked.

Sakura shook her head and grinnned "Nope! And don't try and think of moving to a different tree like last time cuz I'll just follow you!" She opened her mini box that was filled with origini spicy rice balls and sushi, with fried tomatoes, the aroma made Sasukes mouth go dry.

And it just so happens that Sasuke didn't eat lunch because he couldn't be bothered to pack one.

And Sasuke can control his hunger.

"Why do you want to sit with me so much?" he asked dryly, trying to get the subject out of his mind. Sakura shrugged "Why do you exclude yourself from the rest of the human population and come all the way out here to read a book?" she asked stabbing a peice of sushi and popping it in her mouth.

Sasuke leaned back and closed his eyes, his long dark strands of hair tickling his face. "To avoid fangirls" he stated simply "And gossip crap. And just annoying people like you'

Sakura punched him playfully in the arm, which made him grunt, "I'm way less annoying than your stupid 'hns' and aa's!" she stuck her tounge out before popping another piece of sushi in and chewing slowly "I didn't know you had fangirls" Sasuke shrugged "Maybe i don't anymore because they rarely see me, but I'm not taking any chances"

Sakura giggled "You must be very popular then with girls" she said while nibbling on a tomato, which annoyed Sasuke alot.

"i don't care" Sasuke said irritably, half because she was nibbling on his most favorite food in the UNVERSE and half because he didn't like talking about popularity. Sakura frowned "Mou Sasuke-kun, wheres your lunch?" she asked when she heard his stomach growl. Sasuke looked away from her, the faintest shade of blush visible on his face

"I don't eat lunch" he stated carelessly. Sakura rolled his eyes "Thats stupid, you have the rest of my lunch, I'm not hungry anyways." she handed the bow and chopsticks waiting for Sasuke to take it, but it just sat there on her hand.

"I'm not either"

"I just heard your stomach growl"

"Your imagining things"

"Quit being a jerk and except the food!"

"I said I'm not hun-arghphh!" sasuke didn't get to finish because sakura shoved a peice of sushi down his throat with the chopsticks, he quickly swallowed and coughed a few times. Sakura pouted cutely "You don't like it? I made it as well"

Sasuke glared "Are you trying to kill me??" Although he had to admit even though it had been shoved down his throat, it tasted pretty good.

Sakura giggled "Maybe...and I just want you to eat!"

"No"

"Sasuke-"

"Gimme that!" Sasuke grabbed her mini lunch box and devoured the rest of the rice balls, tomatoes and sushi in minutes, so fast because it tasted...may he dare say, delicious. "Happy?" he asked after giving he empty box to her. Sakura leaned in dangerously close to Sasuke "Did you like it?" she asked he wide eyes in curiosity.

Sasuke shrugged "hn." His pride preventing him from saying it was wonderfully delicious and that he wanted her to make more. Her hopeful face faded into a scowl and she scooted away from the Uchiha "Why can't you say 'I love your cooking, can you please make me more?" she huffed and stared ahead "Your so ungrateful!"

The bell rang, Sasuke smirked and leaned close to her "Thanks for the lunch" he whispered, in her ear before getting up and walking to biology class. It all happened so fast that Sakura didn't have time to blush at his alien actions. She snapped out of her daze, and packed her things in her bag.

"Hey! Wait up! I'm in your class remember??" she ran after Sasuke.

"Hinata-chan!" Sakura ran up to Hinata entering biology class, Hinata turned around "Hello Sakura-san" she greeted politely as they walked into biology class "Wanna sit together?" Sakura asked. Hinata nodded 'S-sure-"

"SAKURA-CHAN!" naruto ran up to Sakura and Hinata. Sakura noticed that Hinata started blushing madly "H-h-hi N-naruto-kun" she stuttered, while blushing. Sakura swaet dropped mentally 'Someones got a very obvious crush on Naruto' she thought. "Yeah Naruto?" she asked. "Can you sit with meeeeeee?" Naruto asked using his big blue eyes.

"Actually me and-"

"Aaw! Hinata can you sit me mee?" Narut oasked cutting Sakura off. Sakuras left eye twit ched a little 'why the nerve of him!' she thought angrily. Hinata blushed a slight lavender 's-sure, N-naruto-kun" Naruto grinned and as they got seated and Hinata gave sakura and apologetic look.

'Oh yeah, she likes Naruto..' Sakura thought as she gave Hinata the thunmbs up for encouragement. Hinata smiled and looking at Naruto who was talking randomly.

"Now where to sit.." she mumbled to herself. Sakura found an empty seat to sit in. Her eye caught Sasuke in the same corner staring out the window, a girl with long red hair with expensive looking designer glasses sat down next to him and flipped her hair flirtatiously.

"Hey Sasuke-kun" she winked. Sasuke said nothing and continued to stare out the window. The girl drew out a deep breath and tried again "Sasuke-kuuuuun??" she poked in on the arm with her long nails. Sasuke froze from the contact and pushed her hand away "Get Lost" he growled leaning closer to the window and away from the red-haired girl.

The girl didn't seem fazed, like she had been told that 100 times over and over again by him, she pouted, but not so cutely "Don't you remember me? Karin? I came to your house a week ago" she smirked trying to touch him again, but Sasuke jerked away in time to grabbed his books and move to a different spot, which happened to be Sakuras. He dumped his books on the desk and slumped into the seat next to her, continuing to stare out the window. Sakura stared at him dumfounded thinking only one word 'harsh'.

"Oy! How comes he's sitting with the pink-haired bitch?" Sakura's head jerked up, she glared at the girl to blurted that out "excuse me?" she crossed her arms. Karin scoffed "Are you deaf" She heard Sasuke say 'Just ignore them', but didn't listen.

"If anyones a bitch, it would be you!" Sakura blurted back. Suddenly the whole room seemed alot quieter. Karin scoffed "what a crappy comeback, you better watch yourself! Or I'll seriously hurt you!" she shot back with venom.

Just then the Kurenai walked in "Hello classs, sorry I'm late, which I'm not usually, I think Kakashi's rubbing off on me' she muttered the last part to herself. Sakura and Karin sat back down. The classes volume suddenly began to increase until Kurenai silenced everyone.

"We're going to do a biology project on Molecules, Cells, Enzymes, Genetics and Metabolism. Each Biology Term must be defined clearly, and presented in an oral visual way. I will post websites that you will only allowed to access during class. You will work with the people who you are sitting with right now, and this assignment is due in three days." Kurenai finished. "Any questions?"

The class was silent except for Karin whining about how "It wasn't fair"

"Okay then, get to work" Kurenai turned to write the sites on the board.

Sakura turned to Sasuke. "So, how to you want to present it?" she asked shyly.

"I'll do the work, you'll present it" stated Sasuke, facing Sakura.

Sakura scowled "I don't think so! Were doing a project together so we'll split the work and split the presentation. We can work at my house" Sakura said. Sasuke focused his attentiion back to the window "It will look stupid if both of us are up their presenting, so you should just go"

"You have to present with me anyways because you need an oral visual mark" explained Sakura "C'mon, don't be such a baby!"

"You mean like what you are?" Sasuke smirked "And most people are happy for someone else to do their work, just accept the offer."

"No! And I'm not a baby!" Sakura glared "And, I've never let someone else do my homework for me!"

"Well then, I'll guess you'll have to start now"

"Why won't you cooperate?"

"Your the one you isn't cooperating"

"Shutup! I'm not the one who has stage fright!"

"I don't have stage fright" Sasuke glared at Sakura "I think it's pointless to"

Sakura smacked her hands on the desk in a from of anger "Fine Mr. I can do everything because I'm freaking perfect! I don't want anything to do with you Uchiha! And don't go asking me for help either!" she spat out angrily, clearly pissed at the Uchiha.

"I won't need your help from the likes of you" he said quite harsh, but not as loud as Sakura. 'She's so goddamn annoying!' he mentally swore in his head, angrily, opening his biology text book. Inside Sakura was imagining way to hurt Sasuke.

'Poison him, beat him, choke him..' Sakuras mind listed.

'-.- thats not healthy you know' another part of her mind spoke 'Its creepy'

Sakura mentally sighed 'I know' she mused glancing at the Uchiha, who was angrily writing down things. 'Hes really mad at me...but I'm mad at him so I'm not talking!' she thought stubbornly.

'He has to talk to ME!'

'Ugh...thats not gonna happen'
