Sakura always pictured the day when the guy she'd had a crush on for years would notice her. She would be wearing her favorite shirt, and he'd tell her how he'd secretly had a crush on her too, but was just too shy to tell her, and they'd get together and be happy forever and ever.

At least, that's how she'd imagined it to be.

"Haruno."

She cringed. There were no words to describe the situation she was in. No words.

"I am so sorry! It's just, today's my birthday and so I thought I'd let myself have some of the delicious cake they serve on Tuesdays and I was so happy to finally get some and I didn't notice you were standing there and--" She stopped to breathe, feeling the stares from everyone in the cafeteria. FML moment, BIG TIME. Her voice grew squeakier, "I'm sorry."

Uchiha Sasuke, heartthrob of Konoha High, was staring down at her with the coldest look on his face that just told Sakura to diediedie.

I wish I could. Looking up at Sasuke, she expected him get his fan girls to murder her. Or something. Anything, she begged, just to get her humiliation over with. She'd gotten chocolate cake all over his shirt.

Rest in peace, oh delicious chocolate cake.

"Haruno."

The sound of her name made her look up, startled to see Sasuke's hand reaching down to grab her arm.

It took her a while to realize he was helping her back up. "Oh, um, thank…you?" His hand was still around her arm, keeping her from running away. "Um, Uchiha-san, you're still holding onto my arm."

He snapped out of whatever thought he was having, and released his hold on her, taking a step back while he did so. He'd finally noticed that everyone's eyes were still on them.

"I really am sorry, Uchiha-san!"

He stood quietly for a few seconds, then said, "It's no big deal." Turning around, he muttered, "Don't worry about it."

Sakura smiled after him, relief washing over her. Before he was completely out of the cafeteria, he turned around and said, "Next time, though, I recommend you wear shorts under your school skirt, Haruno."

Cat calls ensued.
