It's been a while. I nearly lost the inspiration that I have to keep this story going on but because my friend convinced me so I'm back. :) This chapter's main focus is Sasuke and Sakura. Enjoy!

Chapter 5

As soon as Sakura turned around, it's as if she went to a rock concert. In front of her are lots of screaming fangirls who are very busy ogling that someone who has just arrived. "Stupid fangirls, doesn't they know that they're just looking like a bunch of fools" Sakura thought bitterly while observing them. She can't even see the person that they're so fantasizing because they did a good job in blocking the view.

"Wow. They never stop" Hinata commented.

Sakura sighed. It's always been like this. Ever since they we're in middle school up to now, whenever that guy shows up all the girls becomes barbaric. They act like they've seen a superstar. Much to her dismay, every year it gets worst. She doesn't even see what's so special about that person. She means, he's good looking and is filthy rich but the attitude? Um, she still doesn't get it. Sakura was lost to her thoughts when she heard someone shouted.

"Hey! Can you girls chill?" the loudmouth Naruto asked but sad to say it didn't work.

Hinata looked to her watch. "There's only 25 minutes left before the assembly. If we don't hurry we'll be late" she said to everyone.

Suigetsu laughed and slowly walked to the screaming girls. "Ladies, ladies. No need to go loco on my friend. Actually, the one you're looking for is right here" he spread his two arms wide and grinned. The girls stopped and glared at him. "WE DON'T CARE!" they shouted and went back to their activities. Sakura rolled her eyes while Kiba was laughing his ass off because of Suigetsu being rejected. Temari got the best of her nerves. "That's it! You sluts get the hell out of here or we'll all be late for the assembly" she ended and huffed.

The fangirls glared and slowly walked away. "We will see you at lunch our lovely prince!" they said and snickered. "Stupid annoying caveman's" Sakura thought. Naruto walked to the said prince and patted his shoulders.

"Glad you made it, Teme. I thought you'd never survive" he laughed loudly. The guy glared at him. "Hn, Whatever you Dobe". Hinata looked at Sakura. "You can now look at your crush," she whispered. Sakura got a little startled . "He is not my crush!" she said. Hinata only chuckled and went to the others. Sakura now got a nice view of the person who she yet wanted to see. Who might be this? It's no other than-

"Uchiha Sasuke! I swear I wont save your butt the next time there'll be this situation again," Temari shouted at him. The said person sighed.

"Don't worry. I don't need your help". Temari huffed. "The nerve! I don't get a thank you?". Sasuke smirked and nodded. Sakura just watched him and thought that many things changed. She noticed that Sasuke got more handsome and taller. His body got a little more muscular. But she thought that it's only normal because he was a basketball player. Not to mention he's the captain so he practices a lot more. But the one thing that won't ever change is his chicken-butt hair. It was maybe his signature hairstyle. She remembered that she always teases him with that when they were still children. After all, she and him are childhood friends. She met Sasuke Uchiha when he and his mother visited her mom one day. She still remembered that he was arrogant and a bastard already at that time.

Flashback:

"Mama, why did you let me wear a dress? There's not even a party" a 5 years old Sakura asked while getting irritated because she can't tie the ribbon properly.

Her mother kneeled in front of her and fixed the ribbon. "You won't really tie this if you're not patient. Also, I made you wear this because a friend of mine will visit us today".

Sakura smiled suddenly when she thought that Ino and her mom will visit them again. She got excited. Then the doorbell rung and their butler came. "Madame, the visitor has arrived". She and her mother then went to greet the visitors.

"Remember Sakura, manners. Got that little missy?" Sakura looked to her mother. "Yes, Ma". When they went to the lobby, there stood a woman with black hair. She was very pretty and stunning. But what caught Sakura off guard was there beside her was a boy. Maybe the same age as hers.

"Mikoto! It's so nice to see you again. It's been a while since I last saw you," her mother said as she hugged the woman. The woman laughed and said the same words too. Then after that she looked at Sakura.

"Is this your daughter? She's so beautiful" she said and smiled. "Yes she is. And this might be your younger son? So handsome and he really looks like his older brother".

Sakura eyed the boy and she thought that there was something so familiar with him. Then she remembered that he looks a lot like Itachi, the friend of her older brother, Sasori.

"Sakura, why don't you show him around while me and her mother will have a friendly chat". The said Mikoto looked to her son. "Behave okay? And try to be friendly. Now off you two".

Sakura sighed and tapped the boy's shoulder and when he looked at her she mentioned for him to follow her. They went to the living room and sat at the sofa. Sakura figured that they should first introduce themselves.

"Hi, I'm Sakura. What's your name?" she asked him. The boy only looked at her for a second then went back to watching.

"I'm Sasuke".

Sakura thought that the kid was no fun and boring. But she still tried to be friendly.

"Um, okay. So Sasuke, you wanna play outside?" she kindly asked.

"No".

"But I want to play! Isn't it boring to just watch TV?" Sasuke glared at her. "Go play by yourself".

"You're no fun! How can we be friends if you're like that". Her patience was getting thin. What was wrong with this guy? Is he anti-social?

"I don't want to be friends with you. You're annoying".

"What! You're the one who's being so annoying you anti-social freak!"

"I'm not anti-social you green eyed monster! Annoying".

Sakura was so pissed off right now. "I'm not a monster, you chicken-butt hair!"

Sasuke stood right up and faced her while glaring. "I'm not a chicken-butt hair, pinky". Sakura gaped. No way he didn't call her pinky. She stood up too and pushed him a little. "I hate you, chicken-butt hair!" Sasuke pushed her. "I hate you more green eyed pinky monster with a wide forehead!" Sakura's fury was unleashed as she grabbed for the sofa pillow. "That's it! Taste my wrath, you bastard!" then she hit him with the pillow.

She remembered that the maid who is supposed to fetch them to eat some snacks found them in the floor hitting each other with the pillows. Their mothers got so angry and gave them punishments. After that incident, she didn't go near Sasuke that much. But Sakura guessed that it was karma because she found out that they are going to the same school in elementary and now in high school. Through out the years that she knew him she still doesn't know him totally. Maybe because first they aren't close friends, just acquaintances. Second, because she hates his guts and attitude. Lastly, because he's an egomaniac and cold jerk. Sakura was broken from her trance when she heard what her best friend said.

"Oh my gosh! Forehead is ogling Sasuke!" Ino squealed.

Sakura gasped as she realized she was staring at Sasuke for too long. She quickly recovered and slapped her best friend's arm.

"No I'm not, Pig! Shut up".

The others heard it including Sasuke. Suigetsu snickered and teased her.

"I think Sak has a crush on the Uchiha". Sakura kicked his leg.

"Okay guys, that's enough. We should go now. I think the assembly is about to start" Tenten informed them. The gang started to walk out of the garden. Sakura was at the back and was about to go to Ino when she felt someone walking beside her. She then looked at the person and realized that it was chicken-butt hair.

"So, I heard Ino said that you were eyeing me. Did you realize that you're crushing on me?" Sasuke smirked.

"Keep dreaming, duck face. I just remembered something from the past. Besides, why are you talking to me?".

"Is it against the law to talk to you?"

Sakura rolled her eyes. "No, it's just that you only talk to your guy friends".

"Maybe you're an excemption. I love teasing you. You have a problem with your temper. It's funny". He smirked again.

"Ugh, I so hate you. Go to your friends now! Stop bothering me" Sakura said as she glared at him.

"I'm just kidding, pinky". Sakura hit his arm and she glared more at him. "Don't call me pinky!"

"Hn, pinky". Before she could do something else, Sasuke already walked towards Naruto and the others.

Sakura sighed and went beside Hinata. She looked at Sakura and smiled. "I saw that. It's good that you're beginning to get close to him".

"He's just annoying me. But we're still not what you call friends. More like enemies".

"But you're special. It's not like he talks to all the girls. Maybe that's something right?" Hinata smiled.

"I don't know Hina. He's still so mysterious to me. I guess in due time, I can accept all his flaws and get to be his friend".

"Or love will bloom and you two can get to see each other differently" she chuckled.

"Not! I won't let that happen. Besides, he's not my type. I don't want an arrogant, chicken-butt hair jerk". Hinata only laughed as they near the auditorium.

"I know he likes someone else. So there won't be a chance for us in the future" she thought as she looked at Sasuke. Maybe he is a cold and arrogant jerk, but behind that she knew he's still human. She knows that by the look in his eyes, there is this special someone who finally caught his heart. She could only sigh at what she thought.

I don't actually know if I did a good job but I tried my best. Please tell me what you guys think. Anyways, I hope I made Sasuke still stuck to his original personality. R&R :)
