Chapter 4 - Seatmate from hell

There are three reasons why the lead vocalist of Sharingan would sit next to you.

One, there is no other seat.

Two, he likes you.

Or possibly three, he simply wants to make your life hell.

It just so happens that in this situation... Sasuke was bored.

Messing with the new chick would be fun!

Sasuke smirked at the thought of her fainting, as did all the other girls he had come to known.

Sakura looked at Sasuke...

Why is he sitting next to me?

AND WHY IS HE SMIRKING?

"What? Am I that hott that you can't stop looking at me?" said Sasuke.

Oh THAT was it!

THAT CONCIETED BASTARD!

"YOU CONCIETED BASTARD!"

Sasuke was a little taken aback when the strange new girl had actually yelled at him, but he could never let her know that! So in order to cover up his surprise, he decided to go with his motto.

When in doubt smirk.

Smirk he did, but that didn't help at all. Oh no, not at ALL.

SMACK!

Sasuke decided to go with plan B.

Plan B- When in doubt smirk, if that doesn't help, flirt.

"So..." said Sasuke with confidence and PLENTY of ego," you new?"

SMACK!

Wrong move, AGAIN.

WHO DOES HE THINK HE IS?

"OW! Why do you keep hitting me?" exclaimed Sasuke as he held his cheek.

"Because you are a conceited bastard!" retorted Sakura.

Ow

That hurt his ego… badly.

No one, NO ONE denies the hotness of Sasuke Uchiha!

There would be only one thing Sasuke can do now…

He has to make the new girl fall in love with him.

A/N ahaha did ya think it was gonna end there? I'm not THAT mean!

Naruto Uzumaki was known for three things. His endless love for ramen, his insane drumming skills, and his sheer ignorance. Naruto was far from dumb… okay, maybe not THAT far. He's a genius with a set of drums and how to cook ramen, but when it came to things like girls and feelings he was completely clueless, otherwise he would have noticed the blue short-haired girl that stared at him everyday from 8:20 to 9:15.

It was 8:50 in Akimichi Sensei's Ramen Appreciation Class, and Hinata Hyuuga was currently twidling her thumbs in the back of the classroom watching a certain blonde in the front of the classroom wave his hand frantically in the air in desperation to be called on.

"Naruto? Do you know the correct time frame into which you are supposed to let ramen cook? " Asked Chouji's dad.

"THREE MINUTES SENSEI!" replied Naruto.

"CORRECT! Naruto, you are the best student I've ever had!"

Hinata smiled the tiniest bit as she saw Naruto beam with pride.

I wonder if he knows I'm even here…

Hinata's smile faded away as she kept talking to herself.

Of course he doesn't.

"Okay class! For your midterm I've decided that you all will be divided into groups of two to create a new ramen flavor! The best flavor will be made the newest flavor at Ichiraku Ramen!" Spoke the Sensei excitedly, but the only person who was as equally excited as he was, was Naruto. There were approximately only 14 students in that class and they only took it for an easy A, but that wasn't really the case for everyone. Naruto, of course, joined the class because he wanted to learn more about ramen; Hinata joined because she wanted to learn more about Naruto.

"Now we will decide who will be in groups! "

"Sensei! SENSEI!"

"Yes Naruto?"

"MAY WE PICK OUR PARTNERS?"

"Anything for my favorite student!"

He isn't going to pick me…

"Hinata? Do you want to be my partner?"

Hinata looked up into the eyes of… KIBA?

Idiots

Sakura was leaving her Calculus in frustration. She had an incompetent teacher and a seatmate from hell!

The teacher smoked during the ENTIRE class and the Uchiha kid kept looking at her.

He can't possibly like me… right?

Sakura shook off the thought as she stepped into her history class. Only to walk straight into… INO!

"Ino!"

"Sakura!"

At least that egotistical bastard isn't here…

The two scrambled for the last two seats that were next to each other in the class unbeknownst to them of who sat in the seats behind them.

"Hey, about our band-" began Ino.

"You two are making a band?"

Ino turned around and her face suddenly became flushed with anger.

"SHIKAMARU!" yelled Ino, " you better not tell ANYONE! Especially Sasuke Uchiha, he'd make our lives a living hell."

"He doesn't have to tell me; I'm right here."

Sakura turned around and sure enough, Sasuke Uchiha was sitting right behind her.

HIM! AGAIN?

This day can't possibly get any worse.

"Okay class," began Iruka Sensei, "we are currently studying Japanese Music History. As most of you know, exception being Ms. Haruno, our midterms are coming up. This semester, the faculty has decided that instead of exams, you all will be paired into groups of two and present a project on the current subject that is being studied. Ms. Haruno, because you are a new transfer, I've decided to pair you with the best student in this class, Sasuke Uchiha."

I take that back…

A/N – okay so this chapter was a tiny bit longer and it was kinda forced b/c I felt that I left this story unupdated for too long a time. I redid it about 5 times before I was happy with it though. I was going to make it longer but i have to finish reading some books for school.

The wait for the next chapter won't be as long as this one.

I would also like to make a correction.

Someone commented that shimatta meant damnit, not crap

Another thing, I will now be giving my thanks for reviewing when this story is over. It'd be easier that way if someone changes his or her's pen name.
