Join the human race
The midterms had just ended, and Saya knew she would have aced them. She worked hard and now, she even had a study partner. Someone who didn't try and fall in love with her. Gaara. He was always supportive of everything she did, and he studied with her. He never distracted her, and Saya and Gaara could study with ease. Gaara and Saya walked through the corridors discussing about physics, and that was when Saya bumped into someone. She turned to look at who it was and gasped.
Sasuke despised Gaara. He was smart, good looking and now he was talking to Saya like he was her best friend or something. Sasuke knew he didn't love her, but even then, he felt extreme wariness in watching him and her walk side by side. He didn't admit it to himself that he was just feeling envious but, all he knew was that Gaara was an annoying lad. Sasuke walked in front of the two, who were walking through the school corridors, apparently studying, and Sasuke made sure Saya bumped into him. He didn't want Gaara to touch him, he was sure if that happened, Sasuke would beat him up. As soon as Saya bumped into Sasuke, she gasped and Sasuke stared at her stoically. She had the bluest eyes he had ever seen, almost as blue as Naruto's and her face held mystery which intrigued him once again.
Sasuke's heart cringed when he realized that the one girl that he could've loved wasn't by his side anymore. And he didn't even know why. 'She left you. Remember that.' Sasuke thought to himself and said, "Whore." The word came out of his mouth so fast, he couldn't even find time in feeling guilty that he had said it. Gaara didn't say a word and Saya gulped. She held onto Gaara's hand and pulled him away, the red head letting her take him away from there. "Yeah, after me you'd obviously want a taste of another guy from school. You sure are a whore." Saya cringed.
"Maybe it runs in the family. Like mother like daughter." Saya turned to look at Sasuke, her eyes holding enough emotion to break Sasuke's heart. Why was he talking to her like that? What made him insult her? "There was a point of time in your life and mine that we weren't a part of each others lives. Can't it go back to being that way?" Saya asked him, and her heart broke. The black haired male had induced confidence in her, and now she was just throwing it all away. It wasn't fair, she knew it. But, he didn't love her. The love he held for her was out of pity, a challenge for himself, which said that even the jock Sasuke Uchiha could feel pity.
"Shut up, and don't tell me what to do." Saya frowned. "I won't. In fact I didn't tell you anything. I didn't ask you to get yourself in detention and try to befriend me. And moreover, I never asked you to come tell me you wanted to marry me." The whole corridor stared at Sasuke and the male's eyes widened. This was humiliating, and he found no escape. There were people staring at him now, and he grunted. He barged toward the girl and pushed her to the lockers behind her and frowned hard. "Listen here Saya-"He was immediately pushed off of her and he turned to see Gaara staring at him. "You need to visit an anger management therapist." He said, his voice holding little or no emotion. There were giggles now, and Sasuke frowned. Before he could attack Gaara, he heard someone clear their throat and say, "Uchiha, my office now." It was Kakashi.
"Are you alright?" Saya nodded, but a feeling of dread floated in her stomach and she felt uneasy. She shouldn't have humiliated him like that, even if he started it. She was used to humiliation, but Sasuke wasn't, and now thanks to her, he had to face tons of it. "That was wrong wasn't it?" Gaara nodded, much to her astonishment. "Yes. You should've ignored him like how you used to before you met him. If you didn't ignore him, that means you still have lingering feelings in your heart." Gaara spoke and Saya gulped. That was something she didn't want to hear, but she knew it was true.
Kakashi stared at the male adolescent in front of him. He knew his and Saya's relationship wouldn't last long, and he knew Saya would come to her senses, and he also knew that Sasuke hadn't any feelings for her at all. "Sasuke." He said, and sighed as he ushered him to sit down. The boy didn't listen, something Kakashi knew would happen. "What do you want?" Sasuke snapped and Kakashi didn't say anything. Even if Kakashi expected things to happen, something which he didn't expect had happened, and that made him confused as well. After they separated, Sasuke was beginning to like Saya. It isn't love, but Kakashi reasoned that Sasuke finally understood deep inside what he had lost, and now he wanted it back, even if he hadn't realized it yet. Something he will soon. He hadn't expected in a million years that Sasuke would actually like Saya, or even have the slightest bit of feelings toward her.
And what shocked him the most was, this time, Sasuke's feelings were genuine. Because cheesy 'marry-me' type of Sasuke wasn't the real one. But, the 'possessive, jealous and dominating' Sasuke made much more sense. Because Sasuke seemed like the person to fit that category perfectly. And if Sasuke ever held feelings for someone, he would at first be at denial and not accept them openly. And Sasuke was at denial right now. And if Sasuke did have feelings for someone, he would insult the person. And he did just that before Kakashi had caught him.
And when Sasuke realizes at last that he does like someone, the denial and the insulting would stop, but then the possessiveness and jealousy would begin. And signs of that were already happening.
"What was the fight about?" Kakashi asked, and Sasuke groaned. "Nothing." Kakashi chuckled and said, "Right, I believe you. But, also, listen, I want you to be the first one to know." Sasuke listened. "I am assigning a project work since the midterms are over, and I will partner two of the students from my class with each other." Sasuke's stomach churned and he didn't know why, and when he thought maybe it was because of Saya, he ignored the feeling. "And, have you decided who the pairs are?" Kakashi closed his visible eye and smiled. "I think so." Sasuke grunted. He knew this was turning out to be too cliché, and he didn't like it. He knew Kakashi was going to pair him with Saya and ask them to resolve each others indifference's, but the last thing Sasuke would want to be in the same room as her.
He didn't like her. Right?
When he thought about it, he was angry, and he didn't know why. 'I don't like her.' He told himself, denying every allegation, and every voice inside his head that told him otherwise.
Sasuke frowned. "I will tell you who your partners are in class today. Go on." Kakashi shooed Sasuke away and the male walked out. Kakashi knew this was a good idea, but sometimes even good ideas have consequences. He only hoped that the consequences of this idea weren't severe. Sasuke walked to class and sat down in his usual spot. Naruto stared at him and sighed. The blonde turned to see Saya reading a book and sighed once more. Kakashi walked in class, with a student behind him, and Naruto's eyes widened. "What the hell is going on?" Naruto muttered and gulped. He knew Sasuke was going to react badly.
"Class, this is Gaara no Subaku from the AP classes, he will be joining us from now on. Sit down, Gaara. There's a seat behind Miss. Nakahara and before Mr. Uchiha." Sasuke grunted and glared at the red head and Gaara ignored him. Kakashi noticed this. He smirked and said, "Alright. Since the midterms are over, I will be assigning a project work to every student in this class. You will be partnered up with one more person, and the two of you will have to work together and achieve what I want you to achieve. This way, both of you will be getting the equal grade, based off the way your partner performs." Sakura raised her hand and said, "What's the topic, Professor?" Kakashi nodded and said, "It won't be that hard. I want you all to write a short book about your partner." The class erupted with whispers and gasps. Kakashi sighed. "The minimum page limit is 45. And you can write how much ever you want. The person who has written the best book, with the accurate likes and dislikes about their partner with a title that suits the partner and a suitable plot will be awarded with a good grade, and so will his partner even if his or her book wasn't all that good. In the end, this project decides how much you've learned about each other, and that is how you can write well or how accurately."
"I will be announcing the partners now. Okay…" As the teacher called out names, Saya prayed that her partner wasn't Sasuke and Sasuke didn't care. Sakura prayed it was Sasuke and Naruto was looking over at Hinata who had her eyes closed. He knew who she was praying for. And he gulped and turned away. Hinata obviously prayed it was Naruto, and Chouji wanted his partner to be Ino. Kiba didn't care, and Shino wanted his partner to be Hinata. And finally Kakashi bellowed, "Hinata Hyuga and Naruto Namikaze." Naruto fought to hide the smile on his face and he ignored Hinata's gaze. "Kiba Inuzuka and Ino Yamanaka." Ino sighed. "Shino Aburame and Chouji Akimichi." Shino looked to his book. "Shikamaru Nara and Sai." Shikamaru yawned. "Sakura Haruno and Saya Nakahara." Sakura's eyes widened and Saya didn't react. That left only two more people in class. "Sasuke Uchiha and Gaara no Subaku." Boy, fate sure hated him right then, that's what Sasuke believed.
A/N: I am amazed with Kakashi's people reading abilities. He's got Sasuke between his fingers! XD
So, yeah pairing him up with his current rival seemed a good move to me, it'll increase the tension between them and that is what we need! Hehe..
And pairing Sakura with Saya also has its reasons.
As I've already told you all, I don't dislike Sakura at all. I actually like the girl.
And the NaruHina bit, was adorable, even for me. :3
