A/N: Finally! I can't believe I'm making stories again and it's all thanks to my best friend Sharingan Fox :) I kind of got inspiration from her cause to me she's kind of clumsy and she sometimes tends to talk nonsense. A shame that she's more sane than I am but I love her just the way she is...sort of. I hope you guys like this fanfic cause I literally rushed it, I think (I made it within 5 hours...is that rushed?). I'm thinking of continuing my other stories so right now I'm on a lookout for a beta :) I can't promise anything though.

I may have lost my touch since I haven't made any stories for at least 1 year so please go easy on me .

Enjoy!

Uchiha Sasuke hated his best friend. Which was weird considering the fact that people would normally like their friends, most especially those who they would deem to be their 'Best friends'. He glanced at the pink blob that stuck beside him, idly chatting on about her foul mood from having an A- on a History paper.

"I can't believe Kakashi-sensei! All he does is read that stupid orange book of his and giggles like a girl once in a while and he decides to give me an A-? Did he even read it? Because I bet he didn't which is bad on his part cause he's a teacher and teachers are supposed to do stuff like reading research papers and giving appropriate grades to those who actually deserve it-"

Maybe he hated her incessant babbling. I mean, maybe some people like listening to others talk non-stop but he wasn't one of them. He preferred silence over noise, which he often told Sakura, but she still continued to pester him with her girly conversations and her unreasonable bashing in a high-pitched voice so yes, he could say that he hated that about her.

"He actually gave Naruto an A+" she said unbelievingly, a baffled expression on her face. "Why would someone give an A+ to a research paper entitled 'I Love Ramen'? Why, damn it, why?"

He sat beside her at their usual canteen table, his face blank as he watched her repeatedly stab her food with a fork looking very much irritated. Her emotions always seemed to show clear on her face making her very easy to read whereas he was usually closed up, revealing only little or no emotion.

It was one of the things that he found amusing, seeing Sakura scrunch her eyebrows in confusion then smile brightly as though she figured something amazing and incredible. He remembered one time when she suddenly blurted "Testes" while grinning beatifically when they were looking at the mannequins in the local department store.

She turned bright red then when she realized that people were looking at her weirdly, him included, and she explained that she suddenly remembered that she had a test on a chapter regarding male anatomy the following day and that she didn't know she was thinking out loud because she was Sakura and she tended to think out loud a lot and he couldn't help but let out an amused grunt before laughing.

It was probably one of the reasons he even became good friends with her in the first place. She was too amusing to be ignored. That and she had pink hair.

He stared at her a bit, trying to find what exactly made him hate her as a person. She didn't seem to notice the attention since she was too absorbed with her own thoughts, saying something about changing subjects.

"Maybe I should join Sai in his art class! I bet no one fails cause its art and I'm pretty damn sure that anyone can draw although you can't beat Sai. Sai has this weird magical art hands. He once drew me although I'm not sure it can be called me because all he drew was a Sakura tree. Maybe he meant it to be an abstract kind of thing? I got irritated though cause he named the painting 'Haruno Sakura: Ugly'. He can be socially constipated sometimes you kn-?"

His eyes trailed on her face. Physically, she was pretty with her cute forehead, button nose and sparkling apple orbs. He took karate with her once so he could easily spot the lean muscles underneath her womanly curves. Her temper was a downside though.

He'd experienced being on the other end of her punches many times, most of them being impulsive like the time he walked in on her wearing nothing but a thin towel.

He could still remember her face, gaping open in a fish-like state before she landed one on his nose. It had bled profusely that time and a flushed Sakura apologized repeatedly while she held an ice pack to his wounded, but still handsome, face. The back of his neck turned red from their closeness and he had to stop himself from chastising her from being such a klutz cause why would she walk around with a towel when anyone could have walked right in?

Sakura blinked twice, confused as to why Sasuke was looking at her with such an intent gaze. Usually she'd just see him brooding while she talked, not that she minded, it was Sasuke after all. Secretly, he reminded her of Perry the Platypus.

Sasuke seemed like he didn't do much and he was very secretive but he was actually at the top of the batch, all the while managing the Uchiha business with his brother. She wondered if he was also a ninja or something. Not that she liked pointy stuff like shurikens or the like, but it would seem cool to have her best friend-slash-long time crush be a ninja.

"Uh…Sasuke-kun?" she waved a hand in front of his face. "Are you there?"

He scowled, having broken from his trance. Frowning, he grabbed her arm and moved closer towards her making her shift a bit uncomfortably.

Her brows furrowed, not used to the new behavior he was displaying. His smoldering eyes peered into hers, confusion etched onto his face.

"Is there something on my face?" she used her other hand to grab her school bag but Sasuke was quicker and grabbed her other arm as well. Some of the students started to watch them in curiosity now, wondering what the school Heartthrob and Sweetheart were up to.

He scrutinized her even further when her cheeks started to burn bright red, she seemed to do that a lot recently whenever they came in close contact with each other. She bit her bottom lip nervously and immediately Sasuke was lured in by her lips. They were pink and glossy and they seemed soft too and suddenly he had come to an epiphany.

She blinked again and she opened her mouth to say something but he had beat her to it.

"I think I hate you" he said with conviction, as though it was the most natural thing to say in the world, his eyes very much serious. The students started to whisper in excitement when Sakura turned even redder, her mouth open in shock.

She tried to ignore the pain in her chest as she retorted, "Yeah? Well I hate you too! Just cause you think you're better than anyone else doesn't mean you can just say whatever you want you teme! I mean I know you're drop-dead gorgeous and everything and that you're practically the smartest guy in here but that doesn't make you the god that you think you are cause-"

And suddenly, his mouth was on hers, moving quite sensually as the words died on her lips. He had loosened his grip on her arms and her fingers started to tug on his soft raven hair while her other hand pulled on his red school tie, deepening the kiss. Any insult on her mind seemed to fade away and were filled with thoughts of Sasuke instead.

When he had released her from his hold, a satisfied smirk tugged on his sinful lips as he looked at her dazed expression. To him, Sakura was rash, annoying, clumsy, irritating but mostly annoying because despite the walls that he had put up, she still manages to evoke strong feelings within him and he hated it therefore, he hated her.

"I think I hate you" he repeated, hoping to convey another message. His gaze was still set on her lips as though transfixed. Sakura licked her lips unconciously, not fully believing what had just occurred but nevertheless elated.

"I..." she swallowed, then she smiled brilliantly, understanding etched within her emeraled orbs.

"I think I hate you too"
