Summary: Sakura was supposed to be a genius, so why was it that her lazy homeroom teacher kept surprising her? - A modern-day Konoha High AU [Eventual KakaSaku]

A note: I've given in to the temptation of attempting every shojo manga stereotype ever. Get out while you can, or welcome aboard! Chapters are 300 words long and I have no idea how long this'll go on for. Cheers!

Chapter 1: In Which Sakura Spaces Out

.

Sakura stared at the back of Sasuke's dark-haired head.

She had confessed to him this past summer, right after they had graduated from middle school. The trees she had been named after were blooming, he had almost looked like he was smiling, and Sakura had decided it was then or never. It was not like she was never going to see him again, as she knew they were going to the same high-school, but Sakura had decided it was time he knew.

And apparently Sasuke wanted her to know in turn that he never had, and would would, see her in that way. The rejection had been quite painful, as Sakura had cultivated an her affection for him for over four years now.

Sakura sighed in to her palm, feeling her cheeks puff out from the air's inability to escape.

Suddenly, as if hearing her curses at him, Sasuke turned around and raised an eyebrow. Jumping, Sakura straightened in her seat to see everyone was looking at her as well. She willed herself not to blush, but it was all in vein.

"Miss Haruno, am I distracting you from something important?" her mathematics teacher asked cheerily, face hidden behind a book and only the upper half of his face visible. As if the medical mask he habitually wore did not cover his face enough.

"Sorry, Kakashi-sensei."

"Now that I've got you attention, will you finally come up and solve this problem?"

Huffing now for an entirely different reason, Sakura stood and went up to the board. While she had not been listening to his lecture, she understood what needed to be done immediately.

"Good," he said behind his book as Sakura returned to her seat.

Sakura hid a smirk. Did this teacher really think he could catch her so easily?
