BLEEEP! BLEEEEP! BLEEEE-

The alarm clock was thrown out of the open window.

1. Get up.

2. Get ready.

3. Arrive at Konoha High.

4. Apologize to Sasuke-kun.

That was Sakura's plan for the day. As she walked the path to school, she hoped she could handle this.

-I'm Sorry-

Konoha high school was full of students caught in their own business of socializing or being socially rejected. In a sea full of brunettes, blondes, those with black hair or even red hair - a pinkette is distinguished. She walks alone with a determined expression.

The pure girl had to walk alone today. She usually got a certain Uchiha every morning and they would walk together. The thought made her sigh in woe.

A slap on her back startled the slightly depressed kunoichi. She squeaked and wiped around. There was no feigning the look of somber on her face once she seen who it was. "Oh, hey Ino," she sighed.

Ino Yamanaka - blonde, pony-tail hair, huge sky blue eyes, big-mouthed, a tad oblivious at times, some might boldly say: bothersome (though not to her face!) - grinned wildly at her friend. "Hey, Sakura! Wait..." she cocked her head to the side, "what's wrong?"

A pair of emerald eyes widened. "Nothing! Have you seen Sasuke-kun anywhere? I need to talk to him."

Gasp! "Trouble in paradise?"

"No!"

Giggle. "Sure, whatever you say," the blonde waved her hand dissmissively. "He's over by the benches with Naruto."

Choke. Naruto! Sakura thought with worry. Naruto, that airhead, is gonna yell at him for last night! Then Sasuke-kun will never speak to be again! "Gotta go!" she announced as she darted down the hall.

"Go get your man back, Sakura!" Ino called - earning them a view glances from the passing by students. "GO SAKURA!"

Uchiha Sasuke had been watching the doors for several minutes now. He sat on the bench closest to the door in the hopes a glimpse of pink would catch his eye. He sincerely doubted he would see her though. His lack of sense in time to leave for school had proven to his disadvantage.

Quite suddenly the collar of his shirt was clutched and he was jerked off his feet. Cerulean eyes met onyx ones. "You bastard," the one and only Uzumaki Naruto growled.

Sasuke, of course, glared at his friend. "Yea, nice to see you too. I'm busy, go away."

"What did you do to my Sakura-chan last night?!"

Smirk. "I didn't even touch her."

Blink. It took a moment for the blonde to get the innuendo...

...

...

"HEY! YOU PERVERT! THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT!"

By now the loud-mouth's yelling had earned the pair a couple of glances. Dammit! Sasuke didn't have time for this. He smacked the dube's hands away to again have his feet placed back on the ground. "Go away, Naruto," he commanded as he brushed off his shirt rather arrogantly.

"Not till you apologize to poor Sakura-chan!" Uzumaki roared. "She was practically in tears last night!"

Ouch. The words made the Uchiha wince. "Well... she said about my hair... so I called her stupid... Why am I explaining this to you? Get out of my sight," he turned his back toward the blonde, waving his hand.

A fist clenched into a fist. Naruto - the lovable idiot - bit his lip in order to restrain himself from hitting the bastard. If he got suspended one more time, he'd seriously die of boredom.

"Sasuke-kun!" the voice rang through the murmmers of the crowd. Two pairs of ears perked at the sound. They turned to see a beloved young woman with silky pink hair and green orbic eyes running down the hall.

Mr. Uchiha watched as each foot met the ground clumsily. She was going to fall, that he knew for certain.

--

Haruno Sakura managed not to fall until she came into a certain range within the Uchiha. His scent met her nostrils. A one-of-a-kind scent that made any girl weak in the knees. She stumbled over her own foot and was sent flying through the air. Her eyes shut tightly as she braced for her face to meet linoleum tiles.

Only, it never came. She peeked out of one eye around. Then she glanced up. Her entire face reddened to a tomato color. If she wasn't so gosh-forsaken pale, it wouldn't have been so red but the maiden knew of her misfortune. The reason for her blush could be no other than a certain Uchiha catching her in a pair of strong warm arms.

"Jeez Sakura," he sighed as he pushed her to her feet. "Klutz."

Glare. She opened her mouth to yell but remembered her plan for the day. She clamped her mouth shut and picked out what she was going to say in her mind.

Sasuke mistook the look for one of hostility. He knew if he didn't say it now she would say something utterly stupid and stomp off.

"Sasuke-ku-" she started nervously.

But a finger was pressed to her mouth.

"Mmph!"

"Sakura." The serious tone from the Uchiha made her silence. He stared deep within the depths of her eyes. "I'm sorry."

!! Her eyes widened, her blush deepened. THE Uchiha Sasuke... had just apologized? If only she had brought a voice recorder! "Mmm mmm mmm?" she tried to ask but his finger was still pressed against her lip.

"Forgiven?" he asked as he removed it.

Without further pause she wrapped her arms around him tightly. "Of course I forgive you, Sasuke-kun!" she yelled happily.

"Tch."

Both were either oblivious or ignorant of the stunned Uzumaki Naruto beside them. His eyes practically bulged out of his head, his face was pale, and his mouth hung open. Because of his open mouth, a fly happened to come by...

Choke!

The bell rang and the choking Naruto was ignored as everyone left for class.
