Chapter 3

Fully dressed in his school assigned uniform that consisted of black slacks, a white long sleeved button up shirt- that were rolled up to his elbows-, and black tie, Sasuke sauntered down the stairs and into the kitchen for a quick bite. He grabbed a fresh tomato that was laid out for him, courtesy of his mother, before making his way passed said woman. She gave him a loving kiss on his forehead causing Sasuke to grumble in annoyance.

"Have a good day Sasu-chan," she said softly as he went to pull on his shoes.

"Aa." Just before he left he glanced at his father who was sitting at the kitchen island with a newspaper in hand. "Tou-san," he acknowledged.

His father, in return, grunted, but said no more.

Leaving his door step, he made his way onto the sidewalk and towards Konoha High School which was walking distance from his home. With his back pack slung over one shoulder, Sasuke shoved both his hands in his pocket.

Five minutes had passed when the hairs on the back of his neck rose. His senses were tingling. He closed his eyes in annoyance at the anticipated headache he was going to endure soon.

Sasuke was then knocked over by a barreling force. "Good morning, teme!"

The dark haired male growled at Naruto to get off my body you nimrod and watch where you're going next time.

Naruto only scratched the back of his head before lending a hand to help Sasuke up.

Now standing at his full height, Sasuke sent a harsh glare at his companion while wiping off any dirt that would be stuck to his clothing. "You're timing is as impeccable as always."

The blond scratched at his temple with his index finger. "Impecca-what?"

Sasuke sighed, "Nevermind. Let's go before we're late for class."

While Naruto shrugged and did as he bade, Sasuke thought back to when he first met loud boy. They were both students at a nearby dojo. Sasuke, being the prodigy he was, never lost a spar to anyone until Naruto came along. From the first introduction, the two seemed like they were going to rip each other's throats out. It took several beatings, courtesy of each other, and their festering mothers, who- they later found out- were best friends.

This led to a grudgingly strong friendship.

"Dobe," Sasuke muttered.

Naruto's eye twitched. "What did you call me?!" he yelled grabbing for at Sasuke's collar.

Cerulean eyes flashed in anger and worry. "What happened to her?! Sasuke, what did you do?!"

Sasuke's eyebrows furrowed. Shaking his head he banished the image from his mind. It was that stupid dream.

"Get over yourself, dobe." He back handed Naruto's arm away from him, causing him to release his grip on Sasuke. The dark haired boy simply turned on his heel and continued walking, his thoughts steering towards his dream. It was odd and strangely, felt very realistic. It was as if he was actually there. And then there was that girl. The girl with pink hair. What was her name?

Sasuke snapped out of his thoughts when something caught his attention. There was a girl in the distance, her back to him. He barely got a glimpse of her before she disappeared into her house. Normally the sight of a random girl wouldn't give Sasuke another thought, but what had gained his full curiosity was the fact that she had pink hair.

'Who the hell even has pink hair anyway?' He was quick to dismiss that thought. Chances were, he was never going to see her again. He and Naruto already gained enough walking distance that they had passed her house already. Sasuke looked back and for some reason he wanted another glance of her. Simply to be sure.

Although he didn't see much of her, she gave off an aura that oddly resembled the girl in his dream. A face flashed in his mind. Pink hair, emerald eyes, and a smile.

Her smile…

Sasuke rubbed the back of his neck in frustration. Things didn't seem to add up. He looked at his friend beside him, who seemed to rambling on about something of no importance. Well at least someone was still acting normal. Was it just him?

He was giving himself a headache. He decided that it would best to just ignore what just happen and push all his ridiculous thoughts away. There was no use pondering such useless things anyway.

"Sasuke…" Naruto said. Said boy turned his onyx eyes towards the blond to show that he had his attention. Naruto had a serious, but thoughtful expression on his face. "I know I've said some dumb things, but I get this feeling that today will be different." Sasuke chose not to admit that he thought the same.

Finally reaching the school, the two stopped by their lockers before setting off to their first class which was homeroom with Kakashi. When they entered the class, Sasuke immediately bypassed all the girls asking for dates and occupied his seat in the back of the class, Naruto beside him. He leaned back in his chair, his arms crossed and one ankle atop the opposite knee. It would be a while before Kakashi showed up to teach. He tuned out all the sounds around him, including the sounds of Naruto's loud voice talking to that shy girl- Hinata was her name.

Sasuke thought back on Naruto's earlier comment. Although it was completely absurd, Sasuke was secretly hoping it was true. He was beginning to grow tired of the repetition he called his daily life.

"Yo," chirped Kakashi as he entered the room, his ever present mask covering his mouth, "Sorry I'm late today. I was well on my way here when I came across-"

"Liar!" Naruto yelled pointing an accusing finger at the silver haired man. Kakashi was well known for his numerous excuses for his tardiness.

"Glad that you have so much faith in me, Uzumaki," Naruto grinned in response, "But this time I really do have an excuse for being late."

Nearly half the class fell out of their chairs in disbelief at his words. "What?!"

Kakashi sweat dropped. 'They really have no faith in me at all.'

"Anyway," he continued, "I was in the front office greeting our new student, who," he directed his attention to the door, "can now come in."

Anticipation was laced in the air at the thought of a new student. The sounds of excited murmurings floating around.

The sound of the door sliding open seemed so loud and then the person walked in. It was a girl.

Sasuke's eyes widened.

'Not possible.'

It was the girl from earlier. The same one he saw on the way here, the one with pink hair.

She stood at the front with her hands clasped in front of her her bag in hand. She wore the female assigned uniform which consisted of a black knee length skirt and white button up shirt, and unlike the males' the shirt was short sleeved and the tie was optional. Short pink hair barely skimmed her shoulders and there was a black headband on her head. Emerald eyes looked about the class nervously.

"Meet your new classmate, Haruno Sakura," Kakashi cheerfully addressed.

In response, she sent the class a shy smile and a small wave. "Hi."

'That smile.'

Sasuke found that he was unable to look away from her, his eyes seemed glued to that small smile. Now that he got a better look at her, she looked exactly like the girl from his dreams- although his dream was staring to fade from his mind.

What are the chances of this happening?

"Why don't you have a seat next to Hinata. So that means you," He addressed Naruto, "need to go back to your seat next to Sasuke."

"But Kakashi…" he pouted. A sharp gleam flashed in his visible eye, "Fine, fine! I'm going!"

Sakura watched as an unruly blonde boy hugged the girl she was supposed to be sitting with. The dark haired girl proceeded to blush profusely as the boy occupied his assigned seat. Her eyes drifted to the darker male that sat next to him, her body seemed to stiffen when their eyes met.

The boy was extremely handsome with his seemingly mysterious onyx eyes and aristocratic features, his raven hair spiking in a wild fashion with his bangs framing his face. Sakura had to blush. She had never seen anyone as handsome as him.

Sasuke stared back watching as a blush adorned her cheeks. He was still trying to absorb the fact that everything seemed to be a coincidence.

His dark eyes watched as Sakura strolled towards her desk which was situated right in front of him. He couldn't stop himself from watching he enchanting saw of her hips with every step. Realizing that he was actually staring at her, he mentally berated himself. What was wrong with him?

Sakura finally took her seat next to the timid girl, she sent her a soft hello and in return, the girl stuck her hand out in greeting, "My name is Hyuga Hinata. Pleased to meet you."

Sakura did the same, a smile on her face. She seemed like a nice girl.

"Hey Sakura-chan!" yelled someone from behind her, the voice she now associated with as Naruto. She turned around in his seat and was met with a wide grin. "I'm Uzumaki Naruto and I'm freakishly awesome!"

Sakura tried her very best to avoid the onyx gaze that seemed to be burning the side of her head.

"That's good to hear," she paused, "I think." Hinata giggled beside her while Naruto pouted.

"B-b-but I am awesome! Tell her, Hinata-chan! Defend your boyfriend!"

Hinata held out her hands in surrender, but blushed at his words.

Sakura smiled at their antics. They were cute. Her attention returned to the other male. She chanced a glance in his direction just in time to see him smirk. She opened her mouth before she could stop herself. "Well, aren't you a cocky bastard."

Her eyes widened and a hand flew to her mouth. She couldn't believe that those insulting words just came out of her mouth. Sasuke's smirk dropped his eyes seeming to grow darker. Naruto blinked his eyes wide and Hinata let out a soft gasp.

"Um," Sakura stumbled with her words, "Sorry?"

"Hn." And then he turned his gaze away from her.

"I can't believe it," Naruto uttered his jaw slack in astonishment, "I've finally found someone... who calls you bastard too, teme! Woo! Happy day!" Sakura's mortification dimmed somewhat at Naruto's words while Hinata looked like she was still in shock. "And just because of that," he grinned, "I'm going to take you out to eat at the best place in the world."

"And where might that be?"

He opened his mouth slowly as if to draw the anticipation out. "Ichiraku's!"

Hinata giggled at her boyfriend while Sakura looked confused. "That's a ramen restaurant and Naruto-kun loves ramen."

"Oh." Sakura supposed that made sense. Her mind was still drawn to the boy they called "Sasuke". She hoped that he didn't hate her for her rash words.

Sasuke drowned out their words still inwardly brewing about what the new girl said to him. She had called him a bastard right of the bat. She had some nerve.

Despite his annoyance with her, he couldn't stop his fascination at the way she would tuck her hair behind her ear or the way she seemed to slowly understand who Naruto was, her face beginning to contort into one that spelled out 'geez, this guy is an idiot'. Or maybe that was just him.

What was it about her that drew him in? From the first moment he saw her this morning, he had been intrigued. Now, that she had openly insulted him, he didn't know what to think.

"Okay, everyone, quiet down," Kakashi said. "Today we're going to learn about logarithms..."

XxXx

All too soon the dismissal bell rang. Sakura hurried to gather her things. She still needed to figure out where her next class was and she very much liked to not be late. With everything in her bag which was slung over her shoulders, she opened her schedule and a school map. With a quick glance she easily saw what her next class was, now she looked at the map to locate it. Emerald eyes blinked.

What was she looking at? She scratched her temple with her index finger. She tried looking at it an angle. Maybe she was looking at it wrong. She turned it upside down. Nope. Now she just looked like an idiot reading a map upside down. She finally looked up to find someone for help. Naruto and Hinata had long left. Sakura frowned. There was no one else in the room.

"Sakura."

The small girl tensed at the voice, surprised that she had been wrong. Turning on her heel she had too look up at Sasuke. She inwardly pulled at her hair in frustration at the height difference. He seemed to notice because he smirked.

"You have no idea what you're doing," he stated simply.

Sakura huffed. "You don't know that!"

A dark eye brow rose as he reached for the map in her hands. With his thumb and forefinger he pinched the piece of parchment lifted it up, turned it ninty degrees and put it back in her possession. Sakura blushed furiously. "Well, I was just," she looked away, "testing to see if putting things in a different perspective would," she bit her lip, "help?"

Sasuke gave her a deadpanned look. "Right." He snatched her schedule from her before she could even protest. He quickly scanned the contents.

"You have your next class with me."

Sakura's ears perked. Maybe he could help her out? Then she remembered her words earlier and her shoulders slumped. There was no way he was going to help her out.

"Are you going to ask for my help?"

"Huh?"

Sasuke smirked. "Say please and I'll take you to your next class."

Sakura glared while putting her hands on her hips. "No way!"

"Your loss," he returned her schedule while beginning to walk off.

"W-wait!"

His steps paused and he looked over his shoulder at her. "Hm?"

She gritted her teeth, "Will you please help me?"

"Of course, why didn't you ask sooner?"

Sakura's eye and she was a hernia away from stomping him into the ground. Sasuke let out a small chuckle at her angered expression.

"Hurry up, Pinky."

Twitch.

Fume.

"What!?"
