Thanks for the reviews! Sorry it took me a while to update. School started for me. Bleh. Anyway here's chapter 3!
Disclaimer: No. I don't own Naruto. If I did, I'd be rich.
Italics – someone is thinking.
Sakura was getting into her car (A/N: I'm not good with cars, let's say it's an expensive one lol) and stuck the key into the ignition. She rolled down the windows and put in a cd to listen to. She drove out of the school parking lot and noticed Sasuke walking. Who walks home these days? Deciding to be nice, she drove slowly next to the sidewalk Sasuke was walking on and honked her horn. Sasuke, who wasn't paying attention, jumped (only slightly) in surprise. Regaining his composure, he took down his headphones and glared at Sakura.
"What the hell was that for?"
"Need a ride?"
"No."
"Come on, it's always lonely when I drive home. Keep me company?"
"No."
"Why not?"
"What about your friends? Don't they need a ride?"
"They have their own cars. Just get in, I don't mind taking you home."
"I do." Sasuke put on his headphones and started walking again. Sakura just kept following him. To annoy him even more, she honked her horn plentiful times before Sasuke replied.
"Will you stop that?"
"You can't get rid of me that easily." Sakura smiled sheepishly. Sasuke smirked and walked towards the passenger door.
"I'll find a way."
"Whatever," Sakura stuck her tongue out. "Just get in already."
Sasuke opened the passenger door and slid onto the seat. He eyed the interior of the car and turned to Sakura.
"So how is it that you can afford this car, yet your parents won't buy you a measly I-pod?"
"I dunno. I didn't even want a car but they insisted on buying one. How about you?"
"What about me?"
"How come you don't have a car?"
"I don't want one."
"Why?"
"I like walking."
"Why?"
"Because I'm not lazy."
"Why?"
"Shut up."
"Why?" Sakura smiled jokingly. Sasuke glared at her before turning his head towards the window. He took off his beanie and let the wind flow through his ebony hair. Sakura took notice of this and was amazed at how someone with that kind of hair could ever want to hide it. She blushed when Sasuke turned his head and looked at her.
"What?"
"I-uh nothing." Sakura quickly faced the road ahead of her and concentrated on driving.
"Hn."
"Where do you live?"
"Just turn right on the next stoplight and keep going straight after that."
"Alright." An awkward silence came. Sasuke gazed out the window. He always dreamed about being in a car alone with a girl just he didn't think that it'd be like this. Especially since instead, the girl was driving and this girl just happened to be the annoying Sakura. Sasuke slowly turned his head to observe Sakura's features. Her cropped hair gleamed bright pink when the sun hit it. Her eyes, concentrating on the road, shined emerald. Her body was pretty slim. In fact, she was perfect. She's really hot. Sasuke mentally kicked himself when that thought crossed his mind. Out of the corner of her eye, Sakura could see Sasuke staring at her. She blushed but didn't bother to turn her head. Sasuke noticed Sakura's cheeks reddening and smirked.
"What're you blushing for?"
"N-nothing. I'm not b-blushing" Sakura replied with a blush apparent on her face.
"Really."
"Y-yah." An idea popped into Sasuke's head and he decided to mess with Sakura.
"You know what I think?"
"W-what's that?"
"You're really pretty." Sasuke smirked as he saw Sakura's face reddening even more.
"I. Er uh t-thank you."
"Your face is really red."
"Uhmm…"
"Reminds me of tomatoes."
"Yah. S-sure."
"I like tomatoes."
"T-that's nice."
"Your hair reminds me of cotton candy."
"Uh. Sasuke w-which house is y-yours?" Sakura tried helplessly to change the subject. She was getting uncomfortable. Not to mention she was stuttering a lot, which she never had before.
"You look so good I could eat you."
"W-wow. Uhm r-really Sasuke you need t-to tell me which house."
"Or I could kiss you instead." The tires screeched on the pavement as Sakura stopped the car abruptly.
"W-what?" She turned and faced Sasuke with a bewildered expression.
"You fell for it." He replied with a smirk on his face.
"What're you talking about!"
"Do you really think I would seriously say those things to you?"
"I. Uh. No. I dunno. Why did you?"
"I thought it'd be funny. Why? Did you think I meant them?" Sasuke said with a more efficient smirk.
"Oh yah. It was hilarious." Sakura rolled her eyes.
"So yes you thought I was serious?"
"N-no." Sakura answered with a flustered face. Truthfully, she did think he was serious and she wouldn't have minded if he was.. but in hell would she admit that.
"Let's just say that was revenge from deafening me earlier."
"You're mean."
"Hn."
"Where's your house?"
"Four houses down, on the left." Sakura drove up to the driveway and unlocked the doors. Sasuke put the beanie back on his head and opened the door. He casually turned his head and smirked.
"Thanks for the ride tomato face."
"Shut up. Bye." Sasuke walked out of the car and towards his house. When he walked in, Sakura drove away and started for her house not realizing there was somebody watching them.
The next day at school, Sakura drove her car to the school parking lot. She parked it and got out. As she walked towards the school, Ino ran up to her.
"What were you doing after school yesterday?"
"Nothing?"
"You did something."
"Well I took Sasuke ho-"
"You WHAT?"
"I drove Sasuke home. What's wrong with that?"
"Are you sure that's all you did?" Ino eyed Sakura carefully.
"Yah then I went home. Why?" Sakura returned the same look.
"Because.. some people called me and told me.. you guys did.. stuff."
"But we didn't."
"Well go tell that to the whole school."
"Why?"
"Heh well…" Ino smiled nervously.
"Ino!"
"Everybody thinks you and Sasuke had sex!" Ino blurted out. Sakura's face turned from curiousness to anger.
"WHAT? WHY THE HELL WOULD THEY THINK THAT?"
"I dunno! Don't blame me, I'm just the messenger."
"And who was the person that told you?"
"I'm not obliged to tell you that." Ino replied. Sakura laughed sarcastically and gave a 'go to hell' smile.
"Fine. I'll just tell the whole school about you and Shika-"
"KIN TOLD ME!"
"That little… Why would she do that?"
"Sakura you know she's jealous of you. Of course she's going to do everything to ruin your reputation. And since Sasuke's the biggest loser in school, she's going to make something up when she sees you two together. I warned you!"
"Yah thanks for covering for me too."
"Huh?"
"You could've told Kin that I DIDN'T have sex with him because I DIDN'T! Instead of telling the whole school."
"I didn't tell the whole school." Sakura gave Ino a look and Ino sighed.
"Okay I did but I swear it was only because I love you."
"Right." Sakura rolled her eyes and marched towards the school doors. When she walked in, everybody stared at her and not of admiration either. There were a few whispers here and there as Sakura walked to her locker. Someone threw a paper airplane and it landed in her locker. She opened it and it read; "HEY LOSER." That was dumb. Sakura thought to herself. She got her books and shut her locker close. When she was walking to first period, a guy she didn't know walked up to her.
"Hey babe. I'll forgive you for having sex with that loser but you have to repay me by going on a date with me."
"Yah in your dreams."
"Oh trust me you're in them." The boy winked at Sakura. Her face contorted in disgust.
"Gross. Thanks for the notice." Sakura replied sarcastically. Then she walked into Kakashi's classroom. Luckily nobody was looking at her funny but that was because most of the students put their attention on Sasuke. As Sakura inched closer to Sasuke's desk, she could hear people asking him questions. A random guy walked up to Sasuke's desk and smirked.
"So how was it?" Sasuke looked up from his I-pod and gave no expression but replied.
"How was what?"
"How was the sex? With," The guy looked around until he met his eyes with Sakura's, "With her." Sakura gasped and stalked over to the guy.
"We did not have sex! Sasuke, back me up here."
"Hn."
"What's that supposed to mean!"
"Hn."
"You're no help!" Sakura glared at Sasuke and left to go sit at a desk near where Naruto, Neji, Tenten, and Ino were sitting. Naruto gave Sakura a look of sympathy.
"If I could hit a girl, I'd beat up Kin." Sakura gave a small smile.
"It's okay Naruto. I'm fine, I don't care about my reputation."
"Sure you don't." Ino muttered. Sakura glared and Ino smiled.
"I was just agreeing!"
"You're no help either." Sakura said with her arms crossed.
"I'm going to have a talk with Sasuke." Naruto said as he got up from his desk.
"Ew. Why does everyone suddenly want to talk to Sasuke now?" Ino inquired. Tenten rolled her eyes.
"You have no respect for anyone."
"Whatever." Ino replied. Meanwhile, Naruto went over to where Sasuke was sitting.
"Hey."
"It's school hours."
"Well, I just wanted to know why you aren't helping out Sakura."
"What're you talking about?"
"You're not denyingyou both had sex. When you should, even if you guys.. did."
"We didn't."
"Don't tell me that, tell everyone else."
"Why does it matter?"
"I care about Sakura and I don't want her reputation ruined because my best friend's dumb and doesn't know how to deny things."
"Best friend huh?"
"Don't start."
"Hn."
"By saying that, people think you're confirming the rumors."
"Whatever. I'll tell them the truth. Just leave me alone."
"Fine." Naruto stalked off back towards the rest of the group and sat down in his seat. Sasuke put his head down on his desk and tried ignoring all the people asking him questions.
Yes another somewhat short chapter. I'm sorry! I need my mojo back lol Well hopefully the next time I update won't be long from now. Please review! Thanks.
