Disclaimer:I don't own Naruto.

Summary:I sprained my ankle and ended up getting dragged by Mr. Handsome to the infirmary. "If it hurts again, just say so." He said. "Ok." My heart pounded. "If I spit on it, that should get it to heal quick." Oh. That. Irritated. Me. SASUSAKU

Chapter 2

"Let's go." The Uchiha said, leaving the infirmary. I followed suit with a, "Yeah."

"It's healed already." I said, out of nowhere.

"That quick, huh." He responded with sarcasm. Geez, if only I don't love this person I could've smacked him in the face already.

We continued walking… with no specific destination—him being at the front and me smiling with happiness, not caring where he's leading me to. He's actually a nice guy… a really nice guy.

I really like him a lot.

I walk around the open basketball court. The whole class is having a physical education right now. For our school, our (the students) physical heath are important. Today, we're supposed to play a basketball game but the teacher hasn't arrived yet from the office. What's taking him so long? I don't know. Still walking around the place, my attention was caught by the mesmerizing blue sky. The clouds are forming in shapes. I could see a pig and a dog, without their tail. Also, there's a little angel smiling. It's a wonder to me how all these clouds form into something without purpose. Well, that what I think.

Finally tearing my gaze away from the atmosphere, I paid my attention to my classmates who're chatting here and there. "Sakura's a really good girl." I heard some girl said. "Her style isn't like just another high schooler." The girl continued. Why are they talking about me again? I know its bad eavesdropping but I can't help it… especially when you're the topic. I looked around. I gazed at the girl who just said those good things about me. Planning to interrupt their conversation, I only held myself back as they continued, "And she's a good person too." Also, I couldn't help but smile at their compliments.

"Hahaha…" I heard from the other side of the other side of the court, occupied mostly by the guys.

"When Sakura touches me, my heart starts beating fast." Lee, a good friend of mine said. I felt my blood rise to my cheeks. I'm probably blushing. Maybe I should cover my ears to prevent hearing stuff that I'm not even supposed to hear.

But I really can't help it.

"Stupid." Muttered Sasuke. Now my attention's on him. What's wrong with him? What Lee said has nothing to do with him. Why did he have to make such rude comments? People don't deserve them. He should—

"Sakura is quite popular, Sasuke." I hear Naruto said. He was sitting beside Sasuke showing off a slight smirk.

"Team three against team six." said the teacher who just came back a minute ago. Sasuke stood up. It must be his turn. I heard he's really good at basketball and now's the chance to see it. Oh—

"Shut up." Sasuke emotionlessly said. I take it, his statement is for Naruto. I still wonder how they became best friends if they talk to each other like that.

Well, I'll leave it to that. I watched Sasuke, as the game started. Wow. He really is good. I can't help but admire him more and more. I watched as he run passed by three people who are on defense. How was he able to do that? So cool... Sasuke.

"Hey look." A girl from my class said. "It's Naruto." I looked at them. What about Naruto? I raised an eyebrow.

"Naruto and Sasuke are both part of the basketball club." One of the girls said. "No wonder they play so well." I took that as a compliment… I guess.

Naruto-kun… huh. I stared at Naruto as he did a jump shot. The ball made it in. They were right. Sasuke is not the only one that's got the talent. Naruto has the potential too. Aside from that, Naruto has the looks too. He and Sasuke are the most popular guys in the school. What's with the guys and their charisma anyway? I wonder why I always wonder so much…

The game ended and Naruto's and Sasuke's team won. Well, couldn't blame them. They are basketball players. I watched as girls hurried themselves to Naruto's direction. He's kinda cool… But he can't compare to Sasuke… Sasuke. Sasuke. Sasuke. I looked around the court, finding him with a bunch of girls crowding him. His eyes captured mine as I look at his deep pools. Was he looking at me before I looked at him? Nah, can't be.

"Ahh so tired! I could drink like two litres of juice." I said as I wiped my sweaty face with a towel, entering the girls change room.

"Ugh, next is Japanese class." Ino said, glaring at unspecific direction.

I looked around. No one's here besides Ino and I. I'll be refreshed if I change my clothes right now. I feel so sticky. "Ack! So hot!" I said, taking off my top.

The wind blew the curtains. As I looked through the clear glass window, I saw the guys from my class, staring at me. "Oh! Sakura!" They shockly said. I was shocked as well. Well, what else can I do? I screamed on top of my lungs and hurriedly put on my school uniform.

"You guys are horrible!" I shouted. "Peeping toms!" Again, I shouted at them, throwing anything that I could reach. After having enough, they all flee away.

Oh my god! They saw! I slapped my forehead. Of course they saw. They saw half of my body with only a bra on!! Wahh!!! Curse them oh holy god. They're really horrible!!! I'll kill them!!

As I entered Japanese class, the boys started talking to me. Ugh. The peeping toms. "Sakura! You have a nice body!" Kiba said. "A really nice one." Another guy said. My eyebrows twitched. I feel like punching some one. Sigh… boys are troublesome.

"You don't just get to see it for free." I told them. "Pay up!" I crossed my arm as I glared at them. "Calm down! We were just joking." The guys said. I can't help but laugh inside. Their panicking faces are so funny. Hope no tears of joy come out of my eyes. But let's brush that off. I still glared at them for peeping at me. The guys kept saying gibberish about what they saw inside what they call, "inside Sakura's clothes". Yeah, inside my clothes. Perverts.

"Hey, shut up." Sasuke snapped at the guys. "Are you stupid?" He then sent glare of daggers at them. That caught my attention. Why would the Uchiha snap at them? Not that I care but usually, he'll just leave the "perverts" alone. But not this time. What's up with him?

"What?" Kiba said in confusion as he looked at Sasuke. Sasuke didn't respond with words. From the looks of it, I could see him glare at the guys, especially at Kiba.

"Sakura, sensei's calling for you." The commotion was interrupted. Tenten, a girl from the student council called. "She says to get moving."

"I'm coming." I told her.

After the student council meeting, all the members left. I was the only one who's left. I don't know why but I can't help but to put a sad face on. Maybe because I'm still thinking about the incident that happened a while ago. The issue about the guys seeing me half naked. Also, about Sasuke, knowing about it. I feel so ashamed. He must be thinking something like, "Not only you're a flirt. But also, a girl with no dignity." I bowed my head down as I sighed.

It's time to go home. It's already getting dark and the streets are dangerous at night. Well, that's what my moms always tell me. As I walk down the road, I saw Sasuke, standing at the corner of the streets.

"Oh hey, Sasuke!" I called. He turned around to look at me with expressionless face. "What are you doing here?" I asked.

"I'm on my way home." He answered flatly. "I just bought a new basketball shoes." He took his new shoes out of his gym bag, showing them to me.

"Hey, they're really cool." I was about to grab it until his arm blocked my way. "Don't touch it." He said. That kind of irritated me. It's not like I have bacteria that will make his new shoes rot if I touch it.

Hmpf!

"I saved my allowance for them." He said, letting out a chuckle. "The shoes will help me play better." He finished. Wow. He's smiling… at me.

"Do the shoes really make a difference?" I asked, walking beside him. Going home together with him really makes me happy. I hope the time would stop. But I doubt fate's on my side.

"It's the mental part of it silly. And that affects performance." He explained. I only smiled at his answer. Being able to finally talk to him without us not getting along is a really great thing. Now I feel like I'm one step reaching my goal. I want to be with him. I want him to acknowledge me more. I want him to show me he cared. I want him to love me like I do.

"Which way is your house?" I asked.

"Towards Sakurazaka." He replied, looking at me. "Yours is too?"

I nodded, "Yeah."

I stopped as we got to the bridge near the Sakura trees. I rested my elbows on one of its railings and closed my eyes. "Ah… I feel great!" I said.

"Hey don't dawdle around. Let's go." Sasuke said with the annoyance visible in his voice. I looked at him and gave him a piece of my mind, "Well, I dream about kissing the person I like here." I know I shouldn't have said it but I couldn't control my big mouth. Not that I care… well, actually I do care.

Seeing his shocked face, I couldn't help but smile to myself. He turned around and started walking away. "Where are you going?" I asked.

"Actually, my house is this way." He said.

"See you tomorrow." was my only reply. Sasuke looked back saying, "Yeah" before he proceeded on walking.

He lied to me. He said he's walking towards Sakurazaka but he turned the other way saying, "Actually, my house is this way." When I found him standing in the corner of the street a while ago, did he see my sad face?

Was he waiting for me…?

To cheer me up…?

Was he worried about me…?

I couldn't help but wonder… again.

To be continued…
