-One year later-
"…Now, as you can see, when you multiply the square root of x by the leading coefficient, you arrive at the solution of-"
-Brrrrriiiiiinnnnnnnnggggggg-
"Class is dismissed. We'll continue from the same spot tomorrow."
I sighed in relief and picked up my books and hurried out the classroom, not being able to stand another second of algebra. I walked swiftly to my locker and dropped my books off in it. As I closed my locker door, Sasuke's face appeared behind it. He was smirking, as usual.
"Hey," he said.
"Hi," I replied.
He placed a small kiss on my lips and took my books for me.
"How was algebra?" He asked.
"Boring, how else?" I sighed.
He chuckled, "Hey, I told you the course would be a pain in the neck."
I pouted at him, which only made his smirk grow wider.
"I'm just so glad I have music next. It's actually a fun class." I said.
"To the music room it is then." He replied.
We walked to the music room in comfortable silence. I had known Sasuke long enough that he did not enjoy much small talk. When we got to our destination, he handed me my books and kissed my on my forehead.
"See you after class," he winked at me, then walked away.
I smiled. My name is Haruno Sakura, and I have the best boyfriend in the world.

-A few weeks later-
"Hello, I'm Sai. I'm new here."
I smiled at him politely. "Oh, I'm Sakura. Welcome."
"Thanks, Sakura huh, pretty name for a pretty girl."
My smile began to falter. "Um, thanks, I gotta go."
"Wait." He grabbed my wrist. I looked around for Saskue, knowing that he would stop this in an instant. "How about I take you out to dinner tonight."
I faked a smile. "Sorry, I'm kinda already in a relationship."
He frowned. "So who's the loser I'm competing against?"
"I am." Sasuke said, surprising me. I looked behind me to see him behind me, glaring at Sai.
"Well, if it isn't Uchiha." Sai smirked. "You've got a jewel there, "he said eyeing me, "be careful, or someone else might come around and steal her away from you." He left after that.
Sasuke clenched his fists. His glare did not disappear, even after Sai disappeared from our sight.

"I don't like him."
I sighed. "For the hundredth time, Sasuke-kun, I don't like him. I only have eyes for you."
He scoffed. "I still don't like him."
We were having lunch together, like we did everyday. Only, we usually talked about current events, instead of glaring at the new guy.
"I don't want you talking to him." He commanded.
I frowned. "Don't order me around like that. I don't like it when you act like this."
He frowned at me.
"Look," I said, "I'm won't talk to him, okay. But it's gonna be because I think he's freaky and I don't want you to be hurt, not because you ordered me to. I'm a human being, not your possession."
I hated it when Sasuke-kun acted like this.

-Two days later-
"Hey Haruno!"
I turned around to see Ami and her "friends" behind me. I sighed. Not good.
"You think you're all that, don't you?" She sneered.
"What are you talking about?" I asked.
"You know perfectly well what you did. First you take Sasuke-kun, and now the new hottie, Sai."
I rolled my eyes. Ami's so pathetic sometimes. "First of all, I didn't 'take' Sasuke-kun. When two people like eachother, they form a relationship." I explained as though I was talking to a two-year-old. "Second, I have no interest in Sai. He just asked me out, which I declined, since I was already dating Sasuke."
She glared at me, then smirked. "You're a slut, Haruno, you know that? What other reason would there be that Sasuke-kun and Sai-kun would want someone as ugly as you.
I fumed. "Me, a slut?! Have you seen how you and your 'posse' dress?" I pointed to their miniskirts and tube tops. "If anyone's a slut, it's you guys who throw yourselves at boys as though they were piece of meat. You're pathetic, you know that?"
Ami glared at me, then said. "Enjoy Sasuke-kun while you can, Haruno, but know this. He's not gonna stay with you. He's way out of your league. In fact, the only reason he's still with you is out of pity. Mark my words, Haruno, he'll dump you by the end of the year, and then he'll be all mine."
Having nothing else to say. I walked away, trying to hold back the tears that were threatening to fall. I reached the girls bathroom, and let my strong mask slip away.
I hated Ami. She always knew what to say to get under my skin. I know that I shouldn't listen to her, but I couldn't help it. She was right, Sasuke-kun was too good for me. I'm still surprised that our relationship has been going steady for over a year now. How long will it take before Sasuke-kun moves on to someone else?
I'm not beautiful like him. I don't come from a rich family like him. And I defiantly wasn't as popular as I am today until I became his girlfriend. He was the prince, and I was Cinderella, only, this wasn't a fairytale, and Cinderella does not live happily ever after.

-Four days later-
"You alright?" Sasuke-kun asked concerned. "You haven't been yourself lately."
I faked a smile, thinking back to what Ami had said. "What are you talking about? I'm fine."
Sasuke-kun frowned. He didn't buy it. Sometimes, I hated how he could read me like an open book.
"I know what'll make you feel better." He smirked.
I was confused. "What?"
"How about me taking you on the most romantic date of your life?"
I smiled. It's been a while since we've been on an actual date, since there were mid-terms to study for and everything. Now that they were over, we could relax a little.
"Tonight, seven o'clock?" He asked.
"Sure, I smiled, for real this time.
The date was one of the happiest nights of my life. First, we had dinner at a cute little restaurant with great food. Then, we went out for ice-cream at this great home-made ice-cream parlor. Lastly, he took me to the park, We had a lovely walked, looking at all the stars in the night sky. Suddenly, he stopped me under the larges sakura tree in the park.
I looked at him. "What's wrong, tired?" I joked, knowing that the number one athlete would not be tired after a simple walk like that.
Then, he took my hands, faced me, and looked me straight in the eyes. For a second, it almost seemed as though he released the barrier that guarded his eyes. For a second, I could read every emotion that he felt: love, happiness, longing, worry, jealousy, and much more.
"Sakura, I love you." He whispered so softly I could barely hear him.
I was taken by surprise. I didn't know what to say. At that moment, any doubts of our relationship flew out of my head. I was happy, so happy.
"I love you too, Sasuke-kun."
He kissed me, he kissed me with so much passion that I could hardly breathe. He was gentle, but rough at the same time.
He loved me, and I loved him back.

-Three months later-
I closed my locker door, and walked down the hall, saying goodbye as I went to some friends and classmates. When I arrived outside, on the stairs, I was surprised not to see Sasuke-kun there waiting for me. I frowned. He probably got held back by a teacher or something.
After ten more minutes, I decided to go back inside the school to search for him. Sasuke-kun was never late.
I searched every hallway, every classroom. I went down to the gym to see if he had a basketball practice that I had forgotten about. He wasn't there.
Finally, I found him, behind the school, against the wall, kissing Ami.
They broke apart as soon as I arrived. Ami smirked at me. Sasuke-kun…didn't do anything. He didn't push Ami away, or immediately apologize to me, trying to straighten everything out. He just stood there, but I saw it. I saw it in his eyes: guilt.
I ran, I ran as fast as I possibly can. I didn't hear footsteps behind me, chasing me. I didn't hear Sasuke-kun's voice, begging me to stop.
Everything, everything we've been through, had been a lie. That night, when he told me he loved me, it had also been a lie.
I hated Uchiha Sasuke.
