Sakura felt uncomfortable all day. She felt all the eyes on her as she walked down the hallway. She could feel all of their vibes. They hated her. They wanted her dead.
She already knew why.
Sasuke.
He was walking right on the side of her. Hands intertwined. Not to mention she was wearing his hoodie with the Uchiha sign on the back.
Oh yes. The girls were full of rage and jealousy. But Sakura didn't care about them. It was Karin she was concerned about. She had some serious mental issues.
Sakura believed she had lost her marbles as well.
She was in a relationship.
With Sasuke Uchiha.
"So, did you want to come over after school? I'm off from work. So are you." Sasuke asked her as they walked to his locker.
"I- I can't..." She replied.
"Why not?" The Uchiha questioned. "You're finally off from work and don't want to hang out?"
"It's not that I don't want to."
"What is it then?"
"I- uh... Don't have no one to watch Riri."
"You're mom can't watch-"
"NO." The pink haired girl yelled out. Her emerald eyes were wide as she realized how she reacted. "No she can't. My mom is strict. Riri has to go everywhere I go and plus she work night shifts."
'So many lies I tell.'
"Well Riri can just come on over. It's not that big of a deal. Unless you don't want to come over."
"No I do!" Sakura blurted out.
Sasuke put in the comination to his locker. "Well then my house it is."
"Yeah.." Sakura let out a nervous laugh.
Sasuke closed his locker door. He put his hands on her cheeks. Sakura's face was blood red.
"What's wrong?" She let out in a high voice.
"Oh nothing." He dropped his hands from her face and started walking away.
"Sasuke wait up!" She called out catching up to him.
Sasuke seemed weird to Sakura. He was a very laid back person. He seemed... very different.
But just how different was he?

It was around seven in the evening. Sasuke and Sakura were watching movies on the couch while Riri played with her new ballerina doll on the floor. Fhil, Sasuke's cat, was under the table sleeping in a curled up ball. There was a good space in between the two teens. And it was silent between them.
Awkward silence.
"Are you hungry?" Sasuke asked her breaking the silence.
"A little bit..."
"I'll be right back." The Uchiha got up from the couch and headed to the kitchen.
"Be safe." Sakura replied.
'Be safe?! Wow. Way to go Sakura.'
"Riri. Are you okay?" She asked trying to forget the lame thing she said.
Riri just laid on the floor with her doll on the side of her.
"You must be sleepy."
The small child just laid on the floor holding on to her doll. Sakura got up from the couch and picked her daughter up. She laid her down on the end of the couch and covered her with a blanket.
"Nice man." Riri said.
"What was that?" Sakura was caught by surprise.
"Nice man." Riri repeated.
"How is he nice?" Sakura asked her child.
"Am I suppose to be bad is what you're trying to say?" Sasuke asked.
Sakura jumped from hearing his voice.
"I'm guessing your sister must like me." Sasuke answered. He sat back down on the couch. He placed a fruit tray on the table.
"I guess so. She's tired right now." Sakura said.
The cat let out a meow as he came from under the table and did a long stretch. Fhil purred as he rubbed against Sakura's legs and then headed to the kitchen.
"So when this movie ends did you want to head back home?" He asked sticking a grape in his mouth.
"I mean if that's fine with you." Sakura said sadly.
"Why you said it like that?"
"Like what?"
"Like you don't want to leave from here."
"I-" Sakura stopped her words.
"What?"
"Nothing."
"You were about to say something."
"No I wasn't."
"Yes you were."
"NO I wasn't." Sakura got closer to Sasuke. She was actually getting frustrated.
"Don't lie to me." Sasuke said getting closer.
"I'm not." Sakura felt her throat getting sore. They were so close to each other now.
She looked at him in the eye.
Her heart felt like it was going to explode.
"I uh.."
"Sakura." Sasuke said in a low voice. Sakura felt her face getting hot. Sasuke pulled Sakura in for a kiss. His lips were warm and soft.
'No... Tell him no...'
She couldn't though.
For the first time...
Sakura couldn't resist.
"Riri..." Sakura mumbled.
"Shh. She's sleeping." Sasuke said. He ran his fingers through her long pink hair. "Come upstairs with me."
Before she knew it Sakura was going upstairs to Sasuke's room. Sasuke led Sakura to the bed. He sat down and pulled the pink haired girl on top of him.
"Sasuke." She mumbled. He kissed her neck gently. He made her feel weak. She couldn't resist him.
She wanted him.
She kissed him back. Both out their tongues dancing with each other. He kissed her so passionately. He grabbed her waist and his fingers found their way up her shirt. Right when he started to pull it up she stopped him.
"Wait."
"What's wrong."
"I- have scars. A lot of them." She said. "You might not like what you see."
"How? You cut or something?" He asked her.
"No not that. I had a lot of accidents growing up."
"How bad?" Sasuke asked.
Sakura stood up. She started to unbutton her blouse. "I've never shown anyone this. Not even Hinata." Her shirt was now off.
Sasuke's eyes gotten pretty wide.
He saw them.
Some were minor. Some were deep. Some were pretty nasty.
Including the one from Zabuza.
But the rest he couldn't see.
Those were the mental ones.
He didn't need to see them.
That was her secret.
"Well?" She asked. Sasuke didn't say anything he just looked at her.
'I know. I'm hideous.'
The pink haired girl started to put her shirt back on until Sasuke pulled her on top of him.
"Sasu-"
"You're still beautiful in my eyes." He said.
"No I'm not." Tears fell from her eyes onto Sasuke's face. "I don't feel beautiful."
Sakura sat up on the bed. She couldn't stop crying.
Sasuke reached over to her. He pulled her close to him. He hugged her tight.
"Sasuke..."
"I love you Sakura." He whispered in her ear. "I love you."
'Love...'
"Stop crying." The Uchiha said wiping her tears away. "Lay down. Get some rest. You look tired as it is." He pulled his blanket over them both.
Sasuke embraced Sakura all night. He kept telling her that he loved her.
Sakura didn't know if she could believe him or not.
Rin use to tell her that he loved her.
But Sakura already knew Sasuke wasn't like that. He couldn't be like that.
There was no way.
No way.
Sasuke was different.
Different from Rin.
But one thing Sakura questioned about Sasuke.
Just one thing.
Did she love him back?
