Chapter 2
Call Me Maybe – Carly Rae Jepson
It was the next morning and Sakura had slept in till noon. She goes downstairs to look for some food and finds a note. Her parents had left for grocery shopping so no one was home. With nothing to do, Sakura goes on her computer, logs in to her Facebook and scans her friends list to see who's online.
Tch, figures… Ino-pig wasn't awake yet. So haven't Ten Ten.
Suddenly, Sakura's cell phone rings. It was a call from a private number.
"Hey".
"Hi… who's this?" asks Sakura skeptically.
"We met last night. It's Sasuke."
Sakura's heart skipped a beat, "Oh hi Sasuke, how are you?"
"Nothing much. Just been thinking about you the whole day."
Sakura blushes and tries her best to flirt back, "Did you? Can't say the same for me though". She hears him chuckle from his end.
"So, you busy?"
"Nope. You?"
"Nope. So you're free to talk then?"
Sakura and Sasuke talked for hours until they had to say goodbye. But that night before bed, Sasuke had called again and they talked till the AM.
"So what did I do to deserve another call from you?," flirts Sakura.
Sasuke laughs, "I told you, I couldn't stop thinking about you…"
"But don't guys wait a day or 2 before they call up a girl?" teased Sakura.
"Huh? Who says? Those rules aren't real."
"In movies and TV shows!"
"Haha, you watch too much TV then. If a guy wants a girl, he needs to act fast."
"So you want me?"
"Isn't it obvious? You're very interesting… I want to get to know you more."
Sakura's heart flutters.
"So what are you up to?," asks Sasuke.
"I'm in bed, talking to you."
"What? You serious? It's only 10PM!"
"Yeah! Well, I need my beauty sleep!" retorts Sakura.
"Haha, you're such a dork," teases Sasuke.
"No… it's good for you to sleep early! You should try it sometime,"
"Nahh… I can't. I'm too used to sleeping at 2."
By next morning, Sakura and Sasuke had learned many things about one another. They talked about anything to nothing yet every moment was so precious.
Sakura learned that Sasuke didn't go to school but he works while she was in her second year at Senju University. Sasuke was from the Uchiha clan, which was notorious for its gang activities. But he claims that he wasn't associated to any Uchiha gangs and no longer did or dealt drugs. Sasuke learned that Sakura was a straight up good girl, who has never touched any drugs but likes to go clubbing.
"So why did you call?," asks Sakura. She was very curious. Didn't boys normally get girls' numbers just for the sake of it? And to show off to other guys? They never call actually call the girls.
"I told you, I found you really interesting."
"What do you mean? I was just like any other girl at BOOM."
"First of all, you were really hot. I love the colour red and you were wearing a red dress so that caught my attention. Second, you're not like any other girls. Other girls would've taken up my shots and gotten themselves shitfaced. You told me you needed to be able to take care of yourself. And it's rare to find a girl like you nowadays."
Sakura was awed at his response as she thinks back to the moment when Sasuke gave her that weird stunned look when she declined his drink. She smiles to herself, "Well… my friends aren't like that!"
"Well you were hotter than all your friends! They weren't wearing a red dress."
Although Sakura likes going clubbing, she learned that Sasuke didn't. He was only there that night because it was his friend's birthday. Also, he had recently broken up with his long time girlfriend. They had been together for 10 years.
