Konoha HighSchool
Chapter 3
-Wednesday-
A new school day has come and now everyone has accommodated with the new school and the fangirls began to calm down a bit. Well, there were also so exceptions like Karin that didn't change, she was still obsessed about Sasuke and was following him everywhere he went, but still the High was now just how it used to be, it was discipline, but the students could also laugh and have fun.
Sakura was checking the hallways as usual. "I really miss Itachi...There are still two more days without him." She sighed. "Maybe he will come back earlier, I don't even know where did he go…Maybe I should ask Sasuke. I have no other choice."
It didn't last long to find him, so when she saw him, she went straight to him. But he wasn't alone, he was with a girl. She stopped for a moment to wait for their conversation to end, but unintentionally, she heard what they were talking about.
The girl was holding a letter with a heart drawn on it, Sakura assumed it was a love letter.
"Uhm…Excuse me, Sasuke-san. I've been watching you since you came here. I admire you very much and this will mean so much for me. Would you accept this letter, plese?" The girl showed the letter to him, blushing.
"Why should I? I already said that I hate the fangirls, which means I hate you too. I don't need this stupid thing." Sasuke said with a really cold voice.
The girl's tears began to fall, so to hide from embarrassment, she run away.
"That freaking idiot!" Sakura thought. She walked to him right away, now being face to face to him.
"Prez?" Sasuke asked surprised, looking at the angry look that Sakura was giving him.
"You jerk! Don't you see what you've done? And you're not even going to apologize! That girl really liked you, and yet you broke her heart like it was nothing!"
"She's just a fangirl…"
"No, she's not! She was really serios! You are such a moron. Think about other's feelings too, not only about yourself! She was just willing to give you a love letter, does that really kill you?" asked Sakura even angrier than she was, now she was really red.
"Tch, like I'd care about that crap."
*Slap*
For a second nobody knew what happened, but then…Sasuke's cheek was red from the slap that he just received. Him, the great Sasuke Uchiha, to be slapped by a girl like that?
"I hope that made you wake up!" said Sakura, moving away from Sasuke.
Sasuke was speechless. He touched again his cheek to see it was true. It was. Sasuke was more surprised than he has ever been. A girl, to slap him? No kisses, no hugs, no flirts, no compliments, no autographs, just a slap. "This girl is certainly interesting." He said to himself.
"He's such a jerk, an arrogant idiot, a moron, a…" Sakura couldn't finish her list of curses, because she bumped AGAIN into someone.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't meant to…Hinata?"
"Sakura! I finally found you! I'm sorry too."
"Don't worry. Where's Ino?"
"She said that she will wait for us in the cafeteria. Let's go!"
"Alright…"
Ino and Hinata became friends too when Sakura introduced her, they were getting along really well. Actually, Ino made her be more confident, just like she did to Sakura when they were in middle school. That's when they became best friends. Sakura and Ino have learnt about Hinata that she was Hyuuga Neji's cousin, the Hyuuga was the richest family after Uchiha. They were very respected too. Well, even though she had everything she wanted, she had money clothes, TV, laptop, Iphone and absolutely everything she wanted, Hinata wasn't happy. Her parents were very strict. She couldn't have fun with her friends, she had to study, to take piano and swimming lessons and to learn at least three other languages. She couldn't go outside after 6 a.m. That's why almost nobody befriended her, because they were afraid of her Sakura and Ino didn't care about that, she was just a girl, and every girl needs love, so they befriended her and taught her many things about confidence and friends.
-at the cafeteria-
"…and then he took my hand and he said that he liked me too, ever since he saw me for the first time. Ohhh,,,he's so cute.." finished Ino blushing. She was talking about with the yesterday's date with her new boyfriend, Sai.
"That's so cute, Ino. I'm very happy for you!" said Hinata smiling.
"Thank you, Hinata. Don't worry you'll find someone too. You too, Sakura. Sakura? SAKURA?!" Ino yelled.
"Yes, Ino?! Don't scream like that."
"But you would listen to me. What's up with you? You look upset."
"I'm not."
"You haven't even eaten yet." Said Hinata slowly.
"I'm not hungry."
"Hmm…You sure have something in mind. Tell us, what is concerning you, or what is upsetting you?"
"Nothing! Don't worry, girls, I'm okay. I just had some problems with a jerk. But now it's okay. What were you talking about, Ino?"
"Ugh…You haven't listened a word from what I've been saying till now, have you?"
-At the gym-
"Welcome, my youthful students! For those who are new here, I'm Maito Guy, your PE teacher. It's so good to see again the gym filled with a so youthful atmosphere!"
"Get to the point already!" said Naruto, bored.
"Naruto! You are interrupting my youthful speech! I guess you haven't felt the youth yet, but don't worry, my boy. Everyone has moments like this, even I had sometimes, but do you know what I did to retrieve it?"
*Silence*
"Exactly! I did 100 laps around the gym. Now go on, until you lose all your remaining youth! Go, every one of you!"
"That's what I waited for Guy-sensei." Said Lee excited with the first lap already completed.
Everyone groaned and began to run.
Sakura looked at Sasuke, which was looking at her as well. She glared at him ,angrily, then she turned her head in another direction. Sasuke did the same.
"I can't lose to him." tought Sakura.
After the first 25 laps, everyone was exhausted. Only Lee could complete 50 laps.
"You, students, still don't have the necessary youth in you yet. But don't worry! It's still time. In the remaining time, I'll let you play basketball. Capitans: Uchiha Sasuke and Haruno Sakura. Begin to choose your teammates because I have something to do. See you." With that he left, leaving the students to choose their comrades.
"Perfect." Thought Sakura, smirking.
"You first." Said Sasuke, challenging her.
"If you say so." Said Sakura smirking. She knew that Sasuke wanted to win just like her."Lee!"
"Yes! Thank you so much, I'll win this match only for my sweet cherry bloss-"
"Naruto!" said Sasuke, interrupting him.
"Kiba!"
"Sai"
"Shikamaru!"
"Shino!"
"Neji!"
"Suigetsu!"
"Ino!"
"Juugo!"
"Hinata!"
"Tenten!"
"What? Sasuke- kun! You chose her, not me?" asked Karin, angry.
"Gaara!" Sakura ignored her.
"Temari!"
"Okay, the rest of you will stay on the bench, waiting for someone to retreat. Then, you can replace the saying person." Said Sakura to the rest.
The match started. It was a difficult match, Sasuke was a really good player, but Sakura didn't give chose his team wisely, as well, he cetainely tought about a strategy too. Sasuke, Naruto, Sai and Tenten were very skillful, and Suigetsu, Juugo and Temari were very good at defensive, Shino was making the strategies. It was really hard to beat a team like that, but still, Sakura trusted her team very much, they were very skillful too, especially Neji. The strategist of the team was Shikamaru, he was the smartest person in the school. Well, in the end, the match ended with Sasuke's team's victory, with a 2 points difference.
"Tch, damn it!" cursed Sakura. She was really disappointed. She wanted so much to win to show Sasuke that he can't get what he wants everytime.
"Sakura, are you coming? We have to dress up." Asked Ino.
"I'll come right way. You can go without me, I have to gather the balls."
"Okay!" said Ino and Hinata, leaving the gym.
Everyone left to go to change, but there was someone that was still there.
"Hey." said Sasuke, slowly.
"What do you want?" asked Sakura bitterly.
"Don't be so chilly. It was a good match, you don't have to be upset just because you lost."
"I'm not upset because I lost. I'm upset because I couldn't prove you that you can't win everytime!" said Sakura, gathering the balls, one after one.
"You know…" began Sasuke, moving closer to Sakura.
"Hey, what are you doing?" yelled Sakura, as Sasuke grabbed her hands, letting the balls fall.
"I've been thinking about what you told me two hours ago, and you're right. I wanted to tell you this earlier, but I couldn't. You were looking at me like you wanted to kill me." Sasuke smirked.
"That's what I actually wanted to do! Now, let me go!"
"Not before you forgive me! You were right, I'll try to be kinder to them, but that doesn't mean I'll accept their confessions."
"You can't force me to forgive me, so let me go!" said Sakura getting really angry, but a little blush could be seen.
Sasuke sighed and then let her go. She moved away from him right away.
"Sasuke, you jerk!" said Sakura before leaving the gym.
Sasuke remained there 5 more minutes, thinking about what just happened, then he began to gather the balls Sakura dropped. "Phew, this will be harder than I thought."
