Chapter 3

Her head ached. Maybe it was because of last night's arguing over which movie they should watch. They ended up with going back to their rooms with frowns on their faces. She had tried...and in her opinion it was a success. The spaghetti she had cooked were awesome, and she knew it. However, the boy was stupid, stubborn, immature, irritating. Everything she was. They were the same, but yet so different. She took her cell with a sigh and called her mother.

" Hello...it's me, Sakura."

" Oh, Sakura! Why haven't you called earlier?! I was so..."

" No need to be worried, mum!" Sakura rolled her eyes. " I called to tell you I found a nice apartment and I have a roommate. "

" A roommate?'' her mother asked and the rosette could hear her mutter on the phone. " I told you you should have gone earlier! However, how is she? Are you going along well?"

Sakura gulped. Yup, that would be quite awkward, but she assumed it was better to tell her now, than later, when she'd find out herself...

" It's a he. And yeah, sort of..."

There was silence .

" Mum?"

" Sakura, is there something you haven't told me?"

The girl sighed again, this time-annoyed by her mother.

" No, mum, there's nothing. I literally HAD to share the apartment with him, because it was the last decent place in here...And I called to tell you that I'll sleep at Ino's this weekend. Hinata will be there as well. "

" Don't change the subject." her mother scolded on the phone. " You better tell me that you protect yourself!"

" MUM!" Sakura shrieked. " Stop it! There's nothing! Just roommates! I have to go unpack stuff now, so I have to close. I just wanted you to know that I won't be coming home this weekend and that I'm perfectly fine."

" OK, princess, I love you..."

" Love you too, mum!"

Sakura threw her phone on the bed and dressed properly. She got out of the room and met Sasuke in the hallway. He was half-naked. He was wearing dark silver trousers, a pajama, actually. His chest was bare, revealing breathtaking abs and muscles to Sakura. His dark hair was messy and his eyes were still half-closed.

" Good morning..." Sakura said and looked up at his face, trying hard not to pay attention to his smooth skin.

" You know how early it is? Why the hell did you have to shout on the phone?!"

" I was talking with my mother." she said as if it explained everything. He snorted and headed to the kitchen, where he started making coffee.

" Do you want?"

" Aaa, yes..." Sakura said and sat on the nearest chair. She was watching his muscular back, as he was moving around. Yeah, it was obvious that he was a sporty-type. But she thought that he wasn't only that. He seemed smart, although she'd never say that out loud. There was something in his eyes that was showing the intelligence flowing out of him. But yet, he was a sports-guy. That kind of guys were always stupid and selfish.

" Would you stop staring at me?! It's giving me the creeps." Sasuke snapped at her, bringing her back to the earth.

" I wasn't staring at you! I was thinking!" she said and turned her head in the exactly opposite direction of him, now staring at a blank wall.

Sasuke smirked. It was the exact same excuse he had used the previous day with Naruto. He sipped coffee in two cups and handed one of them to the girl, who looked at him doubtfully.

" I warn you, that if you had poisoned it, the rent would all go to you and you could never handle it on your own!"

" Maybe I should have poisoned it, after all, it would have been worth it...just shut up for a second and enjoy the silence for a while..." he said and closed his eyes, drinking form the coffee. Jeez, she was annoying, First, waking him up from the other side of the apartment with her shrieks, now babbling non-stop. How would he live with that a whole year!?

She didn't say anything else, while drinking her own coffee. When she was done with it, she stood up and washed her cup and turned to Sasuke.

" Do you want to go take a look around the campus? Go to the pool? Or just wander around the city? Or maybe go visit the university?" the girl was carefully looking at him.

" Why would I spend my day with you of all people?"

" And why not?" she shot back " You see, we're going to live a whole year together, whether you like it or not, so I am the one who's trying to release the tension between us, OK? At least be a little supportive!"

Sasuke snorted and looked away from her tiny body, that was dressed in leggings and a tunic. Go to the pool? The question was still clinging in his head. Of course he'd want to go to the pool with her! Like hell he did! But was it a good idea? No, not at all... but he couldn't stop the images of the rosette in just bikini and a bra creeping in his mind.

" Fine, but I'll call Naruto to come. We could go to the pool and then have a pizza, OK?"

" OK, but I'll invite a friend too..."

" Hn."

Sasuke returned to his room and quickly dialed Naruto. And sighed. He had failed. He had fallen in her trap. The trap of her beauty.

" What the hell is wrong with her?" Naruto looked at the girl confused and Sasuke looked up to see who he was talking about. It was the same girl that was in the office of Iruka when he first met Sakura. And she was now in long, black jeans and a T-shirt with long sleeves. It was probably the hottest day in the month, but she was dressed as if it was winter.

" She's just shy." Sakura told them and jumped to hug her friend. They started talking about some girly stuff, while entering the rosette's room, not even giving the boys the chance to greet.

" Wha- weren't we going to the pool? Why did they go in there?"

" We're changing!" Sakura's voice flew to them and Sasuke sighed. " We'll be there in a minute!"

This minute turned out to be half an hour. When they finally came out, Sasuke and Naruto were playing COD on the newly installed Xbox in Sasuke's room. And now, they had difficulties with stopping with the game. Yes, they were nineteen years old, quite big for video games, but hey, it wasn't them that took half an hour to put some swimsuits on!

They all headed to the pool, which wasn't full. There were only two more people, one of them, Sasuke recognized. That was the receptionists, Yuki. The blonde girl was resting in the arms of a boy in the water. They seemed happy. When she saw the approaching group, Yuki waved enthusiastically at Sasuke, who answered with a nod. They all threw their stuff in a huge pile on the ground. Naruto and Sasuke removed their shirts and looked at each other's face to only see the other's grin. Without a command they started running towards the water, where Yuki and her possible boyfriend, tried to faster get out of the way, since they didn't want to get their heads broken by the idiots. They both jumped off of the edge and formed balls in the air. When they fell in the water, they caused a disaster. Water was covering the ground in radius of two meters around the huge pool.

They started fooling around in the water. Sakuorra caught herself smiling at the view, it was like a cadre from a movie. But as soon as she turned to Hinata she frowned again.

" Get that off and go in the fucking pool! Hinata, what f I call INO?" Sakura said darkly and the girl next to her shivered, as she released the grip around the towel. It revealed her slender body with pleasing feminine curves, dressed in a scarce piece of a swimsuit. She hurried to get into the water, before anyone could see her. Sakura shook her head in disbelief and removed her own towel.

Sasuke's gaze was fixed on the girl. God ,he had no imagination at all! The images he was picturing in his head earlier had nothing to do with that! She was simply... outrageous. If Hinata's cloth was scarce, then Sakura's was just...insufficient. It was barely covering the areas, that should be in nobody's sight at public. But something in him sang joyfully. The girl started walking towards the pool in agonizing slowness. Suddenly, she stopped.

" If you continue staring at me, I swear I'll call Iruka and tell him that you're a silly pervert and that you threaten my soundness. "

Sasuke frowned at her and harnessed all his willpower to return his eyes on her face.

" If you don't want me to stare then actually put something on!" he hissed and turned to Naruto, who was talking to Hinata. The girl was red and Sasuke knew, that his friend was trying to flirt with her, successfully, judging by the grin on his face. He only felt something hit his back and turned around. Obviously, Sakura had thrown a ball at him.

" That's one of the most expensive stuff I have, so be a little appreciative and at least tell me I look good!"

Sasuke looked at her, amazed by her insolence. He snorted loudly.

" And what if I don't?" he asked and after a short silence, she answered.

" I'll know that there's something wrong with you...Are you gay?"

Well, THAT was self-confidence. Too much self-esteem. And some nerve. All three of which, Sasuke had himself and respected in other people. But in her? It was like someone had stabbed him in the back with a knife. He simply snorted and turned her back to her, diving under the cold water of the pool. Thank goodness, it was cold! He got out of the water a bit calmer and turned slightly to her.

" I am not gay. But I don't think you look good... you remind me of a whore in that thing.." he said and observed her. Every emotion that ran through her face was obvious. Surprise, rationalization, offence, hurt, resentment, outrage...

" That's not the way to speak to a woman, Mister Uchiha!" Yuki called from the other side of the pool and Sasuke realized that everybody had listened to them. " And you look stunning, Miss Haruno, don't listen to him!"

Sakura smiled briefly at the receptionist and then turned back to Sasuke.

" You know what? I ain't even mad...I don't care! I don't need your opinion!"

" Then don't ask for it the next time!" Sasuke shot back and dived under the water.

They spent the morning in the pool, Sasuke and Sakura avoiding each other, using Naruto and Hinata as their messengers. Yuki and her boyfriend, Jin, have left shortly after the group arrived. It turned out, that they were second years in Konoha University and they were working for Konoha Leaf Complex, having an ensured apartment there, as personal.

However, when they went back to B-building, it was already becoming time for lunch, so Naruto was sent off to the corner to buy a pizza and drinks.

When he returned, the others have already changed back into normal clothes, which only left him. He quickly changed and joined the others in the living room.

" We need a fat penguin..." he suddenly said and everybody looked at him confused and he finished "...to break the ice."

He let out a giggle, but nobody found his joke funny, so they simply opened the pizza box.

" Perfection..." Sasuke whispered as he chewed his slice of pizza. Naruto was already on his second slice.

" Well, is that all we're going to do today?" Sakura asked a bit annoyed.

" We'll play something on the Xbox..." Naruto said, while chewing. " Like...Call of Duty or Guitar Hero..."

" You play on a guitar? " Hinata slightly raised her eyebrows and Naruto nodded.

" Yeah, me and the teme had a group before. But we stopped, because, well, there wasn't any development. And because we were the only ones in the band who could actually play properly. The others were shit!"

" What do you play?" Sakura asked and turned to the boys.

" We are both lead guitars. And Sasuke sings, too..."

" We WERE lead guitars and I USED to sing..." the raven haired guy corrected and Naruto sighed.

" Well, it's decided then, we'll play Guitar Hero!" Sakura said cheerfully.

" What did you say?" Sasuke asked, giving her the chance to change her answer.

" Oh, you heard me. WE are going to play with YOU Guitar Hero. Now please, stop being a whiny bitch and finish that pizza of yours, so that I could beat the shit out of you!"

" Is that a challenge?" Sasuke asked tauntingly.

" It certainly is, Uchiha!" the expression on her face did something to Sasuke. He stood up and leaned on the table...

" Bring it on, Pinky!"
