Ok, so they are officially moved in. Shutter… scary, living with some random guy… a cute guy, but very random. Anyway, first day of school as a (wink, wink) couple (wink, wink). Very interesting. So, lets go! PS, thanks for the reviews!
Chapter 11 Sasuke and Sakura… D-dating!
Sakura woke up, the sun's first rays coming in through her bedroom window. She yawned, then walked over to her small personal bathroom. There she had a shower, and got changed into her school uniform. She looked at herself in the mirror, then frowned. Her hair was still very out of place, and it didn't seem to shape her face anymore. She sighed, wishing she hadn't done what she did, but the past is the past. She then grabbed her bag and began down the stairs for the kitchen.
Sasuke woke up to the annoying sound of his alarm clock. He quickly smashed it, and sure enough it shut right up. It was probably afraid to continue to annoy the guy with the big hand. He crawled out of bed and went for a nice cold shower to wake up his senses. Soon, he was dressed in his uniform too, but he didn't bother with the mirror. He didn't even bother with combing his hair, which was probably why it always stood up in the back (not that I'm complaining!). He simply dried it, and not even completely, then he headed for the kitchen. 'Should probably eat something… maybe some toast… heck, I can't make toast! Maybe… cereal?'
When he found himself on the first floor, he smelt a wonderful aroma. In the kitchen, on the counter, sat a large plate of two eggs, a piece of toast, and three pieces of bacon. He looked around the room, and there was Sakura. She had just finished her breakfast, and was now cleaning her plate in the sink. She turned, somehow knowing he was there. "Hey, that's for you." She said, gesturing at the oh-so-good looking plate of food. Sasuke just nodded and grumbled a 'thanks', or, at least that's what it sounded like, maybe he just coughed. Anyway, he then pulled out a chair and began eating.
Sakura walked to the backyard and began her morning run. 'Usually do this in the park, but this will have to do…' she then began dashing around the yard's edges, getting cut by the tree branches when she reached the wood. After her first lap, she saw Sasuke, watching her from the backdoor. She slowed to a light jog, then stopped. "What?"Sasuke quickly shook his head, realizing he was staring. "Time to go." Sakura quickly grabbed her bag, which she had placed on the patio table, then walked trough the house and out the front door.
Sasuke went to get his bike, 'God, you can't just look at her like that. No emotion… no emotion…' He put on his helmet and roared the bike out to the road, where Sakura had already started walking. "Hey, what are you doing?" he asked, ridding ever so slowly beside her. She just kept walking, not turning to him. "Walking to school." Sasuke raised a brow, "Why?" Sakura turned, glaring at him, "Because." she then turned back around. Sasuke sighed, "If we want to keep up our cover, we have to go to school together." Sakura turned to him once more, "Oh, you're totally right! You better go put that away then." Once again, she turned back around and continued walking. Sasuke sighed, realizing he wasn't going to win. He quickly pulled the bike back into the garage and ran to catch up to Sakura.
"Thank you." She said, a smile creeping over her face. Sasuke just grumbled, nothing in particular. The walk was very quiet, and Sakura continued to look at the trees. 'She seems happy. URG! Why do I care? Stop… stop…' Sasuke began blushing, but luckily Sakura didn't see. Soon, the school was visible. Sakura began to get worried. "Um, so what are we supposed to do?" she asked sheepishly. "Act like we're a couple." Sasuke said straightly. Sakura still didn't feel the worry leave her. "Um, I really wouldn't know…" she trailed off. 'Am I that sad that I've never had a boyfriend? Heck, I've never gone on a date!'
'Wow, you are sad!'
'You shut up! You've never had one either!'
'Ah, but I don't like the guy who knows it.'
'Good point.'
Sasuke caught what she meant, but decided to let it slide. He really didn't have much experience either… much, key word here. "Just go along with it, ok." Sakura just nodded, still a bit freaked out. 'It's ok Sakura… just calm down… in… out… good, I'm ok, let's do this, I can do this…' Then, the two reached the school grounds. Sasuke suddenly wrapped his arm around her shoulder. 'No I can't!' Sakura tried ever so much to smile, to seem happy, to make it look like they were a couple, but when all eyes were glued on her, she freaked. She got very worried… very, key word here. Sasuke gave her a small whisper (no, not kiss.) "Calm down." Sakura quickly breathed in and out, then plastered a smile across her face. 'Ok… not so bad… I can do this… wow, I really think I can! Go me!'
Then, Sakura saw Naruto, jaw dropped a good four feet, which was a whole foot more then everyone else that saw the pair. "Hey Naruto!" Sakura called. 'Good, I'm acting normal…' Naruto quickly snapped out of his little daze, "Oh, um, hi Sakura…" he walked over to the pair, but then shivered, getting caught in the glares of the local angry Fan Girls. "Can I talk to you… alone." He said. Sakura turned to Sasuke, who took his arm off her. She smiled at him, making him weak in the knees, but he didn't show it. He just nodded, and then leaned against a nearby rail. Naruto and Sakura walked to the side. "Ya?" Sakura asked. "Why the hell are you with him!" Naruto yelled, but not load enough for anyone to hear but Sakura. "We're a couple, can you not tell?" Sakura turned her head to the side, a look of playful wonder crossing her face. 'This is going to be even more fun then I thought!' "What? When?" Naruto stammered. "Friday, after we cleaned the English room." Naruto was quiet; all his questions seemed pointless, because he already knew the answer.
Sakura walked back over to Sasuke, who put his arm back around her, but this time it was her waist. Ok, Sakura freaked. 'He's touching my waist… so close to my butt… AH!'
'Shut up! I'm trying to sleep in here! Anyways, you don't mind it…''Yes I do!'
'Pft, I'm you remember? I feel all you do, and trust me, you like it.'
'…Stupid me…'
"You ok?" Sasuke asked as the two walked into the school. Sakura quickly turned to him, seeing his normal emotionless face. But, she saw his weak spot. He could hide all emotion, but not from his eyes. They showed all, and right now, they were curious. "No, I'm fine." Sakura said with a smile. She felt happier with herself, knowing she found out one new thing about Sasuke… really, it's like the only thing she knew about him, but still. After they grabbed their books, they walked down the hall to their Science class.
By the end of the day, all eyes where still on the new couple. Everyone was talking, but none dared to talk to them straight out, well, except for one person. "This is just weird!" Naruto said, walking beside the pair. "Why?" Sakura asked. Naruto was the only one who would really even come near them. He wasn't going to let this break up his friendship with Sakura, Believe it! (Just needed it in here somewhere.) "Don't know, just is…" he began thinking about why it was weird, and couldn't pinpoint it. "Just… is." He mumbled. "What are you talking about dobe?" Sasuke asked. Naruto's eyes flared, "I'm not a dobe… you teme." (Really, what does 'teme' mean? I just hear it a lot, so I put it in.) The two glared each other down, but then Sakura broke them up. "Sasuke-kun, we need to get home." He turned away from Naruto and the pair began walking down the street, back toward the house. "Bye Naruto!" Sakura called, turning around slightly and waved wildly at him. "Bye!" He called in return, and then he too was off.
Sasuke smiled as he saw Sakura gaze at the flowers as they walked. His arm was still around her shoulder, but he wasn't going to move it, not unless she wanted him to. Really, he liked the feeling of her bare skin. (Her shirt is a single strap, so her shoulders are exposed. Nothing sick…) 'Today was… interesting…'
A/N: Interesting… yes, yes it was. Sorry this chapter is so freaking short, but the next bit is too long to shove in here, so I'm saving it for the next day. Please, review. I seriously need reviews, or I might stop… and you wouldn't want that now would you. If you are even considering that question, I advise you run. Oh, and something you should know, my glares have been known to kill. (You: Ep! –runs and hides behind tree-)
