Chapter 2: What are you looking at?
"What are you looking at?!" he asked.
Shit.
"Nothing!" came her automatic reply before sinking her head on her desk.
Watching and admiring someone way out of her league was already too much to bear. Be caught staring at him and be snapped on, is another thing.
This is so embarrassing.
Please shoot me now.
She knew that Sasuke might interrogate her more. Fortunately for her, their sensei, Hatake Kakashi, came in.
Woo. Saved by the bell. I never thought that there will be a day that I'll be thankful to you Kakashi-sensei
"Wow, the perv came in early today." Naruto boldly said.
"Uzumaki Naruto, I heard that." Kakashi sensei said.
Naruto winced.
Nara Shikamaru rolled his eyes.
"Troublesome." he muttered.
Akimichi Chouji momentarily paused eating his beloved potato chips.
Hyuuga Neji and Uchiha Sasuke just 'hned'.
Where do they get their vocabulary anyway?
Hn?! WTH
Is that even a word to begin with.
A casual grunting due to inability to voice their thought. Maybe. Maybe not.
"Ahem." Kakashi-sensei cleared out his throat before speaking. "Good morning students." He greeted.
No response.
"God damn it people, just greet back!" he rudely said.
"Profanity in such a lovely day. What a good reason to report to Principal Aizawa." Lulu drawled.
For the first in eternity, Sakura couldn't agree more with the thought.
"You're free to try." Kakashi-sensei challenged.
Lulu Kizuno just 'hmp' and went back to her Lala Land.
The rest of the students groaned first before greeting their sensei, half-heartedly. It may sound unfortunate but they simply have too little respect for that man to even call him sensei. It still came as a surprise why no one even bothered to actually report him. His profanities, laziness... You name it. Oh, you get the picture.
Kakashi-sensei scanned the room first before he continued.
"Before we begin, I'm going to introduce a new student today. He's from an exclusive school in London." he said. "You may now come in." Kakashi-sensei said before ushering the person in.
As the new student walked in, some ladies literally fell from their seats.
"KAWAII!" others shouted in unison.
"Ugh. Here we go again." Ino groaned.
"Same old. Same old." Temari snickered.
Sakura just chuckled in response to Ino and Termari's statements.
"Please introduce yourself." Kakashi-sensei instructed.
"Ohayo gozaimasu minna-san. Watashino namae was Uchiha Kaji desu." He said, making some of the girls swoon.
(Translation: Good morning everyone. My name is Uchiha Kaji.)
Naruto blinked momentarily upon hearing the bloke's last name. And being a certified loud-mouthed person that he is, Naruto couldn't help but ask
"Wait, you related to teme?!" Naruto bluntly asked while pointing at the great Uchiha Sasuke.
"Stop pointing at me dobe." Sasuke hissed.
Without faintest hint of hesitation he replied.
"Yes." The newly arrived guy answer. "He's my cousin."
His statement was followed by many side comments like him being hot like Sasuke or something.
That the Uchiha gene pool is the best of the human species.
That they are not really humans but Gods/ angels from heaven.
That they might actually be genetically modified to all look oh-so surreal.
People these days are crazy.
So much for theories.
When the talks and opinions of the people subsided, Sakura thought that normalcy was finally there to come. Oh no, how wrong she was. Especially in her case.
"Mr. Uchiha, you may sit down behind Ms. Harada Sakura. Harada, please raise your hand." He said.
The pinkette momentarily stiffened. it's not like raising a person's hand was suddenly made illegal. But knowing how possessive some of the 'felines' in the class are, they might as well put that to reconsideration.
Sakura raised her hand which was immediately followed by death glares.
What did I do to deserve this?
The intensity of the glares were increased when Uchiha Kaji greeted her.
"Hello there. Nice to see you meet you Miss Harada."
"Nice to meet you too Uchiha-san." she barely managed to choke out.
More death glares.
If only looks could kill, she presumed she already got buried, unearthed and reburied for a thousand times already.
Ugh. Curse this life.
Later…
"Hahahahahaha! That look on your face Sakura was definitely priceless!" Ino laughed out loud.
The pinkette weakly grinned.
"What look?" Sakura asked. "The look that I did when Sasuke caught me staring at him or the one that I did when girls started glaring at me?"
"Both actually." Ino honestly said. Her other friends couldn't agree more.
The girls were having some quality time together when Sasuke's group, which now includes Uchiha Kaji, approached them.
"You seem to be having a great time ladies." Kaji began. "Mind if we join in?" he asked.
Sakura was about to say no when Ino replied first before she could even say anything.
"Sure! Do as you please." She said.
So it was settled then. The two groups shared a certain spot in the academy grounds today.
As of now, Uchiha Kaji was now getting into a good conversation with none other than, Harada Sakura. Uchiha Sasuke was not conversing with them. Still, it doesn't make the situation any less easy as well
Heavenly
Yes. She hate to admit it but that is the truth
Uchiha Kaji managed to include Sasuke to their conversation a few minutes later. The three of them started talking about random things. Sakura was mentally thanking God that Sasuke never brought up the incident that happened earlier. She found it surprising that the Almighty Uchiha Sasuke was talking more than his infamous 'Hn.' Maybe he just needed to be with the right person to get him talking. In that case, it was Uchiha Kaji who did the trick.
Sakura continued having a merry chatter with the two Uchihas.
Take note: Murderous glares within the vicinity. Sakura was aware of those glares but pretended not to notice. Safety is guaranteed while she's with her friends. The moment without them, well. She'll just worry about that later.
"Anou, Kaji." Sakura began.
"Hm?" he turned to look at her.
Death glares intensifying….
"Are wearing Hugo parfum?" she asked.
"Hai." He answered. "How did you know?"
"Well…"
Sakura began talking about the details of the men's perfume and about the company that manufactured it. Both Uchihas were intently listening as she described the perfume and the company from A to Z and then back. Why she knows so much about the foreign brand, they couldn't tell. They didn't even bother to ask. All they know is that the company tidbits that she's sharing are quite impressive.
"You seem to know a lot." Kaji said.
Sakura smiled while mentally scolding herself for talking too much. Still, she kept on rambling on. Honestly, she felt like she could do this all day. Well, not until she nearly said things that are not really supposed to be spoken.
"Is there something wrong?" Kaji asked when he noticed the girl's abrupt halt
"Anou..."
Great. Even Sasuke is looking at me
Sakura. Think.
"Anou... It's almost time for class!" Sakura giddily exclaimed
Everyone looked at each other and realized that she indeed made sense. They stood up one by one and walk their way back to class
