Don't Say Goodbye

Chapter 3

Sakura's POV

I dipped my head down at my desk, It was our Health Class with Ms. Shizune, but then a meeting was called and has to leave us. Unfortunately she left us with nothing do, so, here I am, dying in boredom and possibly because of my headache due to my fever.

My classmates in Health class, found this as an opportunity to do whatever they want. Making some nose, talking and gossiping with each other... some are even making out! C'mon go get a room!

"You, okay?" I raised my head to look at who it was.

I scowled. "Bipolar much?"

Now it was his turn to scowl. "What did I do wrong this time?"

Woah, I was slightly taken a back. What's this? The Sasuke Uchiha is engaging with a conversation with me? Oh, don't get me wrong, I don't love it... I dislike it actually. I have nothing to do with people like him... gangster people.

"Why are you here anyways, Uchiha?" I asked him coldly returning to m former position, under my arms.

I heard him snicker. "Is it wrong to ask you how are you doing?" I looked up at him and he smirked at me, ad I just stuck my tongue out returning under my arms again.

"I'm fine, no thank you, and I have no plans on asking you how're you doing you..."I lifted my head and faced him with a disgusted look. "Bipolar, glaring monster, jerk of a gangster!"

"Hey! You have no right to talk to him like that!" I looked over at his shoulder and saw three girls giving me their death glares. Unfortunately, they're one of his fan girls and they have heard our mini-conversation. I scowled and rolled my eyes.

"Hey! Pink-haired freak!" A girl with red hair and black eyes shouted. "Don't you dare give s that look you disgusting freak!"

Now all the attention were focused on us. One handsome looking god, three witches, and one dying rheumatic heart disease patient.

"Yeah!" agreed the other girl with black hair and thick black glasses covering her brown eyes. "Be happy enough that Sasuke-kun is talking to you!"

Again, I rolled my eyes at them not caring about what they said at all.

"The nerve of people like you," the first girl who spoke said. "Tss. Don't think of yourself as all high and mighty, calling people with names such as 'Bipolar, glaring monster, jerk of a gangster'" She lectured me. "Tss. Such a pathetic loser, bit-"

"Will you three just shut up." Sasuke said coolly, as he turned his head to look at them over his shoulder.

"B-but, Sasuke-ku-" he cut them off.

He turned his head back to it's original place, he placed his hands in his pockets and slightly bowed his head so his bangs covered the upper half of his face.

"First of all," he started, all eyes were now on his. "You three weren't included in the conversation Haruno and I had." he said emphasizing on the 'haruno'. I smirked inwardly, he was getting back on me because I called him by his surname awhile ago.

"Sasuke-kun, why are you siding wit-" again they were cut off by Sasuke.

"And second of all..." he lifted his head and met my eyes.

He smirked at me. "I kinda like my new nickname."

With that said he slowly walked away and outside the room. He left the three girls all dumbstruck, they didn't think that their Prince Sasuke would side with me, a peasant Sakura Haruno.

"Wow, girl." I flinched a little as Ino suddenly popped out infront of me. "You got Uchiha backing you up. Nice!"

I grinned at her and she grinned back.


It was already our PE time. Yup, Uchiha and I got the exact same schedule, since he was in all of my subjects.

Anyways, here I was on my PE uniform, sitting on the benches, neither Ino and Hinata were in this class with me so basically I was alone... again. Naruto on the other hand was in this class as well.

While waiting for Mr. Gai, Naruto jogged his way towards my direction.

"Wassup, Sakura-chan!" He said cheerfully as he plopped himself on the bench.

I smiled at him warily. "Hey, Naruto?"

He flashed me his pearly whites. "So how are you?" he asked me suddenly dropping his wide grin.

"I'm fine... I guess?" I replied with a smile as well.

He raised his brow at me. "You guess?" he started. "You're not sure if you're fine?"

I laughed softly and smiled at him sheepishly. "Well... I do have a slight fever..." I was about to continue my sentence when Naruto didn't gave me a chance.

His hand immediately went up to my forehead. "Agh! You have a fever, do you want me to take you to the clinic?" he asked me worriedly.

It made me smile, seeing a lot of people were really worried about me.

I shook my head. "No. Naruto." I said as I took off Naruto's hand on my forehead. "I'm fine... really. I just took my medicine during our lunch break." I smiled gently at him.

He nodded once, as soon as he understood me. He opened his mouth to say something, but the double doors of the gym immediately banged open, revealing our PE teacher.

"Alright, youth!" he shouted. "All male on one line and all female in the other line!" he then blew his whistle. "Let's go!"

We started with the warm-ups, from jumping jacks to jogging in place. Each and every time I saw Naruto looking at me with a worried expression, but I just smiled at him and shook my head,

"And 3, 2, 1." Mr. Gai blew his whistle and we all stopped. I rested my hands on my knees and so did my other classmates, but what was different was... my heart was aching... it was as if it was burning.

"That was very good! Now, take in deep breath, youths." he commanded us.

I straightened my back, ignoring the burning sensation I was feeling. I placed both my hands on the both sides of my hips and took in deep breaths, just like what our mentor told us.

"Now..." Mr. Gai started. "Do, 5 laps around the whole gym!" he shouted, while I stare at him with shock.

"Go! Go! Go!" he shouted again like a soldier.


As soon as we reached our 3rd lap, I couldn't take it. I clutched my heart and I stumbled on the floor.

I felt as if the time froze and all eyes were now on me. My right hand was clutching on my heart, while my left wet up to my mouth as I coughed.

"Ms. Haruno are you alright?" Mr. Gai said as he walked up in front of me.

I looked up at him, and shook my head weakly. "Can you stand up?" he asked me.

I tried getting on my feet, with Mr. Gai holding up my arm, but as soon as let my feet support my weight, I immediately went down on the floor again. My knee started to hurt, it was another symptom.

"Tsk. We need to take you to the clinic." he muttered.

"Uchiha!" Mr. Gai called out and immediately, Sasuke went jogging up to Mr. Gai's side. "Escort Ms. Haruno to the clinic, she's not feeling well."

Sasuke took a glance at me, but then averted his gaze back to Mr. Gai and nodded once. Sasuke walked towards me and bent down beside me.

He gently tucked his left hand under my knees, which caused me to gasp a little, his right hand supporting my back. Slowly, he stood up, and walked towards the doors.

All eyes were on us as we walked outside the gym.


"Are you sick?" he asked me, as soon as we were out of the gym.

I looked up at him, and he looked down at him.

I smiled at him sheepishly. "Well, I do have a fever." I admitted.

"You shouldn't have joined us at PE you know." he said as he averted his eyes back on the front. "You just over worked yourself." he muttered.

I smiled. "Sasuke," I called him. He looked at me and raised his brow. "... Thank you." I smiled at him.

He smirked. "I told you earlier... No problem, Sa-ku-ra." Seriously, the way he says my name is sending tingles at the pit of my stomach, and making my heart feel weid... well, aside from the burning sensation my heart was giving me right now.

I shook my head at him. "No... it's just that..." I paused for a while taking a deep breath as I closed my eyes shut.

"... It's just that... you always had my back and you're always saving me." I continued.

I opened my eyes, and saw Sasuke looking at me. "A while ago, with those girls... you uhm... kinda like protected me from them, and now you're helping me get to the clinic... for that, I'm really great full." And, it was true, I really appreciated what he was doing for me.

For a gangster, he sure was... nice? A gangster who is nice?

He smirked again. "What are you falling for me now, Haruno?" he asked as he cocked his head side wards.

I slapped his chest lightly. "In your dreams, Uchiha. I will..." I paused as I narrowed my eyes on him. "NEVER fall in love to a GANGSTER."

The expression that I can read in his eyes changed, although I don't know the reason why. And he his shoulders kind of stiffen. What's wrong with him.

He glared in front of him.

"We'll see about that." he whispered to himself.

"What?" I asked, pretending as if I didn't hear what he had just whispered to himself.

What was that suppose mean? See about what? I bit on my bottom lip and pondered hard on what the sentence might mean. But nothing came to my mind.

I just shrugged it off, seeing he is Sasuke Uchiha and he is a total mystery anyway.
