[I posted this independently from this story as well, but for those who read it and put it to alerts, here's the prequel

Okay, this might perhaps seem a little concise (some parts of it at least) for some of you out there, but for those who have read 'High school life', it will seem logical.

I was trying to make this a prequel, but it became more like half a prequel and half Sasuke's side of the story. Basically, this means that the part until where Sakura comes over to his house is the prequel and the rest of it is Sasuke's point of view from 'High school life'. It's quite different though, but some of the conversation parts shall look familiar, but you'll see for yourself.

Disclaimer: Nothing's changed in that area (though I am the proud owner of Naruto's official fanbook since a week!)

"Oi, teme! There's a shitload of letters for you again. damn, all those perfumes mixed together simply reek!" Naruto shouted loudly.

Sasuke smacked him over the head. "Seriously, your language is getting worse by the day. Moreover, stop yelling and shouting while I'm standing right next to you," he said annoyed.

"Yeah yeah," Naruto muttered, rubbing his head in pain. "I really don't get what those girls see in you," he muttered under his breath.

"Me neither," Sasuke muttered annoyed, clearing his locker. "It's starting to get annoying," he mumbled and narrowed his eyes.

"What the hell are you talking about? Starting to get annoying? You have been receiving these stupid letters ever since elementary school!" Naruto shouted and slammed his locked closed, earning another smack against the head.

"Hey! At this rate, I might get a concussion you know!" he replied a little bit more quietly though.

"All you need to do is keep your voice down," Sasuke hissed. "Furthermore, I wasn't particularly talking about those letters. They're useless anyway," he nearly sighed.

Naruto nodded furiously. "Since she never writes one." Agile, he dodged the third smack and stuck out his tongue. "Blegh! You missed me!"

Sasuke could only smirk when Neji walked by and gave his blonde friend a good smack against his back.

"Oh come on Neji, that's not fair!" Naruto yelled.

"Uzumaki Naruto! How many times do I have to put you in detention before you finally keep it down?" the headmistress yelled from behind him.

"Baa-chan, your timing is really bad, gotta go! Oi teme!" he added while running away, "make sure you'll greet Sakura-chan for me!" He stuck out his tongue once more and waved.

Then he crashed in to Lee, who was running through the halls as well.

"Alright, that's enough, detention for the both of you!" Tsunade yelled and Sasuke snickered. "Watch it Uchiha, I might add your name to the list as well."

"Aa," he replied composed. "Good luck dobe!" he told Naruto with an evil smirk and left.

What an idiot. It was just like him to get in detention over something stupid.

Sasuke sighed. He really wanted to get in contact with the girl with the pink hair and the rosy lips. She who always seemed so shy. He wanted to make her blush while he was confessing to her. he wanted to steal her first kiss before Naruto or Lee would go to extremes. He wanted her to sigh out his name. Dammit, now he was getting all excited.

Don't get him wrong. Uchiha Sasuke was smart, (fourth in their year) collected and the number one bishounen in their school. He could get every girl he laid eyes on, yet he wanted the girl who didn't seem interested in him at all. It was beyond frustrating. He really didn't care about any of the other girls though. His stupid brother, who was a university student, had found out about it rather fast. Now he was teasing him whenever he came over to visit Sasuke and his parents. Though there was one good side of having his brother knowing about his situation. Itachi had come up with the most perfect plan. To be more exactly, it was already executed and Sasuke was awaiting the results.

See, his nii-san had come up with the idea of drastically dropping his grades on purpose. If he would simply screw up his exams, his grades would slip and his parents, who only wanted the best for him, would think that it was necessary to find a tutor for their dear Sasuke-kun. Once, that idea would come up, Sasuke would suggest Sakura, since she'd maintained to be number one for over three years now. He would, as would his parents, only be satisfied with the best and voilà, enter tutor Sakura. The plan was flawless, as Itachi emphasized every time over and over again.

Since the exams had been over for a bit now, it couldn't take the teachers too long anymore before they'd finished correction them and hand out their grades. At the thought of his sensei's reaction, Sasuke smirked. His smirk turned into an evil grin when he imagined his parent's reaction though. Score! He mentally added.

Today, his parents were still away on their business trip and his brother was still at university, so today, he could clean up his room without stupid questions. Because when Sakura would come over in roughly a week from now, he estimated, everything would have to go smoothly. No Ichi Ichi paradise books lying around, which were secretly put in his bookcase by Naruto as a prank to freak out his parents; and no pictures of Sakura lying around, which would freak her out.

Every single action would have to be thoroughly planned.

Sasuke sat down behind his desk.

Okay now, first of all, he would have to keep his distance, at least in the beginning. She was a shy person. Trying to 'seduce' her right away would probably scare her away and maybe she would even leave.

Second of all, provoking her could be interesting and make her prove him wrong or something.

One of the most important things was to make her go to his room.

That way, things would be far more private than when they would be studying in the remote living room.

Then he would somehow steal her first kiss. He hadn't quite thought that through, but decided to leave it that way, since things could (not very likely) go differently than planned an thus he had to be flexible.

Contently, he started cleaning his room: dirty laundry out of his room; Ichi Ichi novels tucked away in his bookcase, so he could return them to Naruto. Of course, he would never admit that he had indeed read them so he could 'gather some data'.

Next were the few pictures of Sakura he had lying around. He would definitely miss them, but more importantly: if he would forget to hide them before she would enter his room, he was screwed. Moreover, if everything would turn out as planned, he would hardly need any of those anymore.

Sasuke smirked at the sight of his tidy room. Ready to enter Sakura.

It took two more days until his parents found out what had happened to his grades.

"What?!" Sasuke's father yelled and Sasuke grimaced. Even though he had planned this all (and this was definitely part of it), he hated it when his dad was angry with him.

"Well, this period is really hard and I don't know if I can make it without a tutor," Sasuke replied, slightly sad and more obedient than he felt. Hurray for being the best student during their drama classes. After all, he was just playing his parents.

"But do you have any idea how expensive those home tutors are?" his mother asked more gentle than her husband.

"You don't really have to hire anyone expensive, just someone who's in my school will do," he replied, smirking inwardly.

"Can't Naruto-kun help you out?" his mother asked slowly, frowning slightly.

"That dobe? No way, he's practically one year behind, okaa-san," Sasuke snorted.

"Even though he is the mayor's son," his mother sighed disappointed.

His father was looking sourly. "Who's your year's number one student then?" he grunted, earning a quick glance from his wife.

"Haruno Sakura," he replied, maybe just a little too fast. Damn, he couldn't screw this up himself!

"Well," his mother said with arched eyebrows. "Why don't you just give me her number and we'll see if she wants to tutor you, Sasuke-chan." Sasuke's eyes darkened. "Don't call me Sasuke-chan anymore. I'm almost eighteen now. It's highly embarrassing."

"But I have to ask Sakura-chan if she wants to teach my little Sasuke-chan," his mother teased him.

"Don't you dare!" Sakura growled. His brilliant plan would shatter because of humiliation.

"Don't speak to your mother like that!" his father replied angrily, but his wife soothed him. "It's alright, I was just teasing him, right Sasuke-kun?" she smiled and his dark mood passed immediately.

"Aa… just make sure you'll call her," Sasuke smiled slightly. He knew that his mother knew what was going on. She should've sensed it right away. Yet, she didn't do anything to hinder him. That's why he simply loved his kaa-san. It was little embarrassing though…

"Teme! You did it!" Naruto yelled enthusiastically and smacked his best friend on his back.

"Of course I did," said boy replied annoyed.

"Nothing less from the Uchiha prodigy," Naruto grinned. "And Itachi's of course the best planner in the world," Naruto nodded. He'd always felt rather jealous of Sasuke for having such a cool brother.

"Yeah, it was quite the plan," Sasuke replied absentmindedly. He was gazing at the pink-haired girl sitting next to her best friend, laughing at the other side of the canteen.

"Oi, Sasuke, do you even hear what I'm saying?" Naruto was waving his hand in front of his face. Sasuke caught it easily and pushed his arm down. The blonde idiot was blocking his view after all.

"I was asking…" Naruto repeated extremely slowly and Sasuke made an annoyed sound. "When she was going to tutor you for the first time."
That caught his attention. "Today," he said and picked up his stuff. "Let's go," he added since Sakura had gotten up as well.

Naruto glanced over to the pink-haired girl, his best friend was clearly having a crush on. He sighed half annoyed and half amused. "I hope you two will get together soon. This is getting old."

Sasuke ignored him and went to class. Just a few more hours until he would meet Sakura, talk to her for the first time.

Annoyed, he waited for the classes to end. As soon as the bell announced that the last class for that day was finally over, he slowly walked over to the lockers where Sakura was talking to her best friend, Yamanaka.

Stealthily, he got into position. Casually, he heard that Yamanaka girl whisper not too silently: "So, when are you going to start?"

They must've been talking about him. Sakura closed her locker and was about to answer. He cut her off before she could even reply though and answered: "Now." He felt utterly annoyed by Yamanaka's presence. She looked as if she was about to pee her pants and Sakura quickly pushed her away. "See you tomorrow, Ino!" she said and laughed nervously. Then she turned over to Sasuke and smiled awkwardly: "I'm sorry about her," she said, but Sasuke didn't care. He would finally be alone with her now.

"Che, let's go," he replied, remembering himself that no matter how much he wanted to kiss her, he had to stick to his plan.

During the time that they were walking home, he didn't notice any of his surroundings, but could only focus on her presence and his plan.

"We're there," he said.

Sasuke made himself at home and got himself some juice. He kept reminding himself of his plan, but it became harder with the minute. She didn't seem at ease at all and that was not what he had planned.

About an hour and a half later, they were finally sitting in his bedroom. They'd been studying math so far. Not that he was having any trouble with the subject, but for the sake of his plan he had to.

"Let's take a break," Sakura said and stretched herself. Sasuke couldn't help but stare at her. Luckily, she had her eyes closed, so he quickly asked her if she wanted anything to drink.

"Do you have any tea?" she asked and closed her eyes again, making herself look pretty damn tempting. He had to get out of this room otherwise he wouldn't stand in for himself.

"Yeah. Be right back," he replied shortly and practically ran out of the room.

He locked himself up in the bathroom, before making some tea. He looked in the mirror and saw himself all flushed. Quickly, he sprinkled some ice cold water in his face to make his head clear. There was definitely no room for dirty thoughts.

After he'd finally calmed down, he went to the kitchen and made them some tea. He had to act fast now, because he really couldn't bear much more.

When he finally came back to his room, he thought that he was daydreaming, because the pink-haired girl was lying on his bed, apparently asleep. He put the two teacups down on his desk and placed himself next to her sleeping figure. He was staring at her beautiful face and nearly kissed her, when she suddenly opened her eyes in shock. As she tried to get up, he pinned her down on his bed. He couldn't take much more now! What the hell was she thinking, falling asleep on a guy's bed?

She stuttered something about a misunderstanding, but he couldn't really pay attention to her. Finally, things were going like he had planned.

"You're not just another fangirl, right?" he repeated her words from before when they had been talking in the living room.

Slowly, she realized what he was thinking and explained why she was so deadly tired, that she'd fallen asleep on his bed.

"I apologize!" she finished her story and closed her eyes, apparently afraid of what he might do. She looked so sweet… Damn, he was at his limit.

Sakura called out his name, sounding slightly scared.

"And you honestly didn't have any other intentions?" he asked, trying to keep in character.

"No! Honestly! I'm not interested in you!" she replied quickly.

"Is that so?" he asked while raising his eyebrow. Had he been so cocky? Thinking that he could make her fall for him?

"Yes!" she repeated eagerly.

Well, if that was true, than he wanted to at least have her first kiss. He crushed his lips down on hers, not hearing anything anymore, but the buzzing in his ears.

He was finding himself wanting more as she slid up her hands to his head, her fingers entangling themselves in his hair.

A content sigh escaped her lips, right before she pushed him away, saying something about how they couldn't be doing this.

She seated herself behind his desk and he asked curiously: "Are you sure?" He had definitely noticed how she had been reaction to his kiss. Maybe, there was a chance for him.

Not even a minute later, she told him in shock that it had been her first kiss, before tears were rolling down her cheeks onto the sheet in front of her.

"What's wrong?" he asked as he heard the drops falling down.

Sakura didn't answer, but another tear fell down and was soon followed by yet another one.

Sasuke stretched out his hand to brush her hair out of her face. Her beautiful face was wet from the tears she had been crying. Now that wasn't really part of his plan. "What's wrong?" he repeated again.

"It's just that… I'm sorry to bother you…"

"Girl thing?" he asked and she looked up to him and gave him a heartbreaking watery smile.

"Guess so… I didn't want my first kiss to be random. It had to be the guy who loved me and cared for me, whom I really liked," she sighed and brushed away her tears.

"Che, good thing I kissed you first. You wouldn't have had your first kiss ever otherwise. Those are just girly fantasies. Those things never happen in real life," he shrugged. Yet inwardly he was yelling at himself for not taking that into consideration. He had to ask the question though… He folded his hands behind his head and asked: "You don't even like me one bit?"

Then she was telling him the most wonderful thing while she blushed prettily. She had indeed liked him!

Though when she came up with a stupid theory of him being not interested in girl at all, he had to reply.

"Maybe, I'm just not interested in all those girls," he replied, narrowing his eyes at the insult.

After all this small talk stuff, the time had come for him to confess. She didn't believe him, whatever he said, so he had to tell her about his plan. Even then, she couldn't believe him.

Annoyed, Sasuke flicked his fingers against her forehead. "For the smartest girl in our year, you're pretty dense, you know that?"

"I… I am?" she replied anxiously.

Sasuke arched an eyebrow while he was watching the girl next to him. Was she trying to say that she did like him? "You surely are," he said and leaned in.

Slowly, Sakura closed her eyes and sighed. She was inviting him to kiss her again!

His heartbeat fastened and he ran his hands up her body, to her face.

"You know," he whispered, feeling so happy that he could finally kiss her out of her free will. "I like the fact that your first kiss was mine." He snickered "But I'm sorry for the way it turned out… Please let me make up for that," he whispered seductively while nibbling on her lower lip.

"Please do…" Sakura smiled and he did. Finally able to kiss the girl he had liked for so long already.

If you liked it, let me know!
