[A/N] Ah! I'm so sorry for the delay!! Summer always makes me procrastinate. I had summer homework too, so I couldn't get to it until now! I hope this chapter won't disappoint!

Thank you for the great comments. It makes me happy to see them. Well, without further ado, here's the third chapter! I hope it's as long as you guys wanted it.

Chapter Three

By the time Hinata and her good looking roommate made it to the taxi, it seemed he had calmed down. While he was putting her bags into the trunk of the cab, she thought it would be the right time to apologize properly and get his name.

"Ano..." she mumbled quietly.

He turned to look at her. "What?"

"Uhm…" Hinata stumbled, "y-you never t-told me your name…"

The guy sighed and closed the trunk. "My name is Uchiha Sasuke."

"Uchiha?" she thought, "Why does that name sound so familiar?"

Pushing that thought aside, she bowed and said, "W-well, um, Uchiha-san, I apologize about earlier. I…I didn't mean to offend you."

"Whatever," Sasuke grumbled, "just get in the cab already. It's freezing out here."

"Oh, right," she said while quickly straightening herself out. Hinata opened the door and climbed inside with Sasuke following behind her.

He gave the driver some directions and eased himself into the car seat. Sasuke let out a long sigh and glanced over at Hinata. She sat on the opposite side and looked as if she was trying to stay as far away from him as physically possible. Hinata didn't notice the glower she was getting, she was occupied with looking at her twiddling fingers.

"Uchiha…Uchiha… Why do I feel like I've heard this before?" Hinata pondered the thought in her head.

"Hey!" Sasuke shouted, breaking her from her deep thoughts.

"Y-yes?" Hinata stuttered, obviously startled at his booming voice.

He glared darts at her. "Why don't you ever respond the first time?" The raven haired boy sighed. "I'm trying to tell you something, but you're off daydreaming. Cut that out. It's getting on my nerves," Sasuke scolded and looked out the window.

Hinata felt a sting of guilt for ignoring him unintentionally. She hadn't meant to do that, she just always seemed to block out the real world when she was thinking hard.

"I-I'm sorry," Hinata sighed, "again… It's just that… I-I was wondering, um, have we met…before?"

The dark haired boy looked back at Hinata with a smirk planted on his pretty face. He shook his head and let out a small chuckle.

"Wh-what is it?" Hinata asked, completely confused.

He told her it was nothing and went back to staring out the window. Through the rest of the ride, Hinata was extremely perplexed. Sasuke didn't answer her question and she couldn't ask him again either; it was difficult enough to say it the first time.

The ex-heiress sighed and thought about Hanabi. What was she doing now? Is their father treating her well? Is it too soon to call her? Questions filled her head until the cab came to a halt.

"Hey," Sasuke said, poking her arm, "we're here."

She glanced at him, blushing from the small physical contact, and opened the taxi's door. Her dull black boots touched the snow covered ground as she came out. Sasuke, who came out from the opposite door, went to the trunk to remove Hinata's bags and luggage.

Hinata looked around the apartment complex. It was just like the picture that her roommate had sent. She turned to look at the rest of the surrounding buildings, her new neighborhood. Then she saw Sasuke lifting some of her heavy bags.

"Oh! I-I'm sorry," Hinata apologized, "Here, I can take, um, some things." She walked over to him and took one of the bags he had hung over his shoulder.

"You don't have to do that," her roomy muttered.

"B-but I have a lot of things, a-and it's only right since they're mine."

Taking the last of the luggage out of the trunk, Hinata couldn't help but notice that that was their first time talking to each other when he wasn't angry. Hopefully, it wouldn't be the last time.

Maybe this won't be as bad as I thought it would be…

[A/N] Was that as long as you wanted? I'm sorry if it isn't. I think I'm unable to write long chapters… As always, R/R~ I need those criticisms! Oh, and I have an open space for a beta reader, so send me a message if you're up for that.
