All right, so, sorry if this chapter sucked. I really wasn't sure what to do with it. See, I have all these ideas in my head for later on, it's just the getting start part that seems to be oh so problematic.

Also, I edited this first chapter just a bit, I realized it was slightly rough around the edges.

Anyways, don't own Naruto, because of course if that was the case every episode would be revolving around the budding romance between Sasuke and Sakura. Which, unfortunately for me, seems non existent in the manga :D .

Abruptly, Kakashi barged through the doorway.

"HEY EVERYONE! Sorry I was late, see, I was walking on the street, to school of course.. when, the strangest thing happened. I saw a baby, all alone on t-", Started saying Kakashi, when he noticed the tension in the room. His eyes flickered at the scene in front of him.

-the class-

-Itachi & Sakura-

-the class-

-Itachi & Sakura-

-Sasukes murderous glare-

-Sakuras frightened face-

"AKWARD.." Commented Kakashi, laughing at the drama which had only just began to unfold. Finally, things were about to get interesting, and it was the first day of the year too. Deviously, he began to construct a million ways to make the awkward situation worse. He loved those.

"Alright everyone, let's get started. Sakura, back to your seat. Or no, wait. Let me try and make this more to my pleasing. Sakura and Naruto switch spots." Sakura's jaw dropped, as did those of most in the class. He was really trying to get her killed now, wasn't he?

As she started walking, slowly as possibly, Sakura officially decided Kakashi hated her. Clearly, he really was trying to ruin her life, even though it was pretty much at the point of no return. Everyone was plotting against her, and this was some cruel, twisted joke to make a fool out of her. Right.

As she meekly sat beside Sasuke, she could feel his aura piercing into her. By now his full concentration was in front of him, as if Sakura didn't exist. But she could feel the hate emanating through him. She saw the way his almost black orbs, had seemed to have gotten darker. The way his lips pursed, in the smallest way, but you could see it. The tightness on his face.. the tense poise in his body.

And as she finished this observation she realized she was staring at him. Wow, wasn't that just dandy?

"What are you staring at?" Sasuke growled, without glancing at her. She tried to form a response, but nothing seemed to escape her lips.

"Now, as your english teacher, I have decided to give you all a project. You and the partner beside you in your desk are going to give the class a two to three minute oral presentation on each other. Write out a list of questions together, and you'll both answer them. You'll hand in this sheet together. Most of it's up to you, but be creative. You have the rest of this period to work on this, and it's due on Friday. Good luck, and don't mess up kids." He ordered with a smile.

Sakura turned around, took a deep breathe, and started talking.

"Allright, so, since we both have to make it we can take turns and each write a question, ok?" Asked Sakura. She tried to make her voice perfectly calm, but even she could hear the quiver in it.

Instead of bothering to reply to the annoying girl, Sasuke merely took out a piece of paper and started writing.

Likes.

He slid the paper to her, and she wrote a question too.

Dislikes?

Hobbies.

Music?

Ambitions.

Any interesting facts about you?

Favourite movies.

Favourite places?

Favourite food.

If you could have anything, what would it be?

"Uhh, well, this should probably be enough."

"Hn." They both took separate pieces of paper, and wrote down their answers. Sasuke finished first, and Sakura just after. They switched papers, and started reading them. Strangely, Sakura found herself interested in his answers and opinions. So interested, she barely heard what he said next. Yeah, he actually spoke to her. Gasp.

"Monsters inc?" He asked flatly, with sarcasm dripping from every syllable.

"Huh?"

"Monsters Inc and Spirited Away. Those are your favourite movies?"

"Well, yeah! Whats wrong with them?"

Sasuke snorted. "They were made for five year olds."

"Well, whats it to you? They're both good movies!"

"Of course you would think so."

"Excuse me?"

"Can you not hear or are you just retarded?"

"The movies have wonderful plots, interesting characters and amazing graphics. And I'm sure if your ego weren't so damn big to not let you enjoy the childish essence in them you could see that." Sakura couldn't believe he would be so rude. Ignoring her was bad enough, but this was a whole other level.

Sasuke whipped his head towards her, and gave his signature icy glare.

"You may think your big now, just because Itachi took some random interest in you, but you're nothing. Soon enough he'll get bored of you, and you'll be back to the filthy scum you were just this morning."

Sakura felt tears threatening to sting her eyes. As much as she never wanted to admit it, she had always had a little crush on Sasuke. It hurt that now, when he finally noticed her, all he had was hate. But she knew all to well that giving in to him, and showing him her pain would only make matters worse. So she hid behind a mask of nonchalance.

"Aww, sensitive there, aren't we?" She said teasingly, with a cold tinge implanted in her voice.

Sasuke felt his insides burn with hatred. This girl was almost as bad as Itachi, if not worse.

Soon, lunch time came. Sakura came into the lunch room, with everyone staring at her. Usually she didn't mind sitting alone, no one noticed or cared. But now the fact that she had no friends at school was about to become even more obvious. With as much pride as she could muster, she went to her usual table, and ate her lunch, alone.

"Aww.. look guys, shes sitting alone!" Cried Naruto.

"What's your point, Uzumaki? She deserves it, for being such a slut with Itachi. Who does she think she is? And shes ugly too." Replied Ino.

"Well, shes kinda cute! In a nerdy way.."

"There is absolutely nothing cute about nerdy." Butted in Sasuke. Why was Naruto defending her in the first place?

As Kiba sat beside Tenten, he exclaimed, "Actually, I agree she's kind of cute! Maybe with the right clothes, makeup, she could be hot!"

"No amount of makeup could help her. And shes scrawn AND fat. She's ugly, end of story." Fumed Ino. This was her year, she was supposed to get the attention. The guys. The... everything. And now Big Forehead was stealing it.

"Scrawny and fat at the same time..? Isn't that, oh I dont know, impossible?" Commented Kiba. Naruto laughed along side him.

Sakura and her had been friends when they were little, but as time grew on, and Ino realized how far apart their world's really were, and all ties were cut. Ino loved partying, Sakura loved studying. Ino was rich, Sakura poor. Ino loved guys, Sakura couldn't even talk to them. Or so Ino had thought, before today.

Naruto looked at the girl, and felt sympathy. He knew all too well how it was like to be hated for something that wasn't your fault. And as much as he wanted to go sit with her, he knew he couldn't betray Sasuke at a time like this.

"So teme, what do you think of her?"

"She's just another slutty fan girl." And right as he said that, Itachi sat beside Sakura. Sasuke slit his eyes, as if he could kill them with looks alone. As the conversation started, they got more and more into it. But the conversation had slowed to a halt once everyone started listening in. And to Sakura's horror everyone heard what Itachi said next.

"So, it's a deal then. I'll give you a drive to my place after school." He then winked at her and left.

Review, pretty please. :)
