PLEASE READ: I am considering on changing this to rating M as there will soon be lots of adult themes to do with crime and sex. (Was that too blunt?")

Chapter 3: Classmates
"He tied your shoelace?!" Tenten practically shouted.
"Yeah, so what? Isn't he usually kind to everyone?" Sakura asked even though that sounded far fetched.
"Honey, I've been following Sasuke-kun around for years and not once has he done anything like that to anyone! He doesn't even touch girls, gang member or not!"
"Gang member?" Sakura echoed.
"U-Uchiha-san is in Orochimaru's group, one of-of the w-worst gangs in K-Konoha." Hinata explained.
"Half the school are gang members." Tenten added.
"Yeah, my friend dated a gang member. She said that he loved to brag about being in the gang and that the money is great!" Ino piped in.
"Well, considering you get involved with violence, sluts and drugs I don't think it's worth it." Tenten said, rolling her eyes.
"Doesn't the school care? If people in this school are gang members shouldn't they add more rules and regulations?" Sakura asked confused.
"Of course not! The council doesn't give a damn! The bastards! The teachers in this school don't really care unless you get violent and every year they bring in a sniffer dog to check on everyone anyways so who cares?." Ino said, grabbing some fries and popping them in her mouth.
"You seem to know a lot about this Ino." Sakura pointed out.
"Of course I do! I need to know everything on my future husband!" Ino shouted, her blue eyes twinkling.
"You like a gang member and want to marry him?" Sakura asked shocked.
"Sasuke-kun isn't like that. Besides, I'm sure once he gets to know me he will quit the gang for me." Ino sighed dreamily.
"He definitely will." Tenten said sarcastically.
The bell chose that time to ring.
"Ugh social studies with Kakashi-sensei, it's horrible." Ino groaned as they arrived inside the classroom.
"It's n-not that bad I-Ino." Hinata said, fidgeting with her fingers.
Tenten had a different class so she had left when the bell rang. So Sakura was walking to class with Ino who was showing her around for the day and Hinata who had the same class as her.
Sakura already felt like she had been at this school for a year. She smiled at that.
"Everyone, take their seats." Kakashi said happily.
Sakura walked to the teachers desk. "It's okay Sakura, you sit next to Sai."
The boy named Sai put his hand up so Sakura would know who he was. He was thin, had black short hair and black eyes.
Sakura walked up to the desk in the middle of the classroom and sat down next to Sai.
"Hi, I'm Sakura. I hope we'll become good friends over the year." Sakura smiled and said with a friendly tone.
"Oh. This is the time where I introduce myself isn't it? Hello, I am Sai." Sai stated in a monotone.
Kakashi raised his voice to start the lesson.
"Now, everyone social studies is the studying of social relationships and the functioning of society so today we will study the relationships of classmates."
"I want everyone to push their desks to the back of the classroom. Bring the chairs to the front, when the desks are done sit here."
The class all got up and started to hook their pencil case to the back of their uniforms. Sakura saw that all the rectangular pencil cases were the same, they looked like a pouch with a flap being closed by a button. Sakura remembered that at lunch Ino and the girls didn't put their pencil cases in their lockers and instead they hooked it to the back of their uniforms. 'How cool!' Sakura thought with a smile. She decided to stop thinking when she noticed some people were already pushing their desks to the back.
"We'll work together Sai, what do you want to do?"
"I will push the desk back, you will take our chairs. It is customary for the boy to take the heavy things, is it not?"
"Okay?" Sakura said slowly. 'What a weird boy' Leaving Sai to do his work, Sakura stacked the two chairs and brought them to the front, then put them down. She returned over to where Sai was and noticed he was struggling getting the desk for two across the classroom because some boys were in the way. Sakura picked the other side and the desk up and lifted it. Sai did the same.
"Excuse me, please boys." When the boys didn't reply, Sakura yelled, "Move it, now!" Not waiting for a reply she pushed past them with the desk and placed it down orderly in the neat line of desks. She grabbed Sai's wrist and walked to the front.
When she had sat down, Sakura looked back to see boys were mostly their pushing the desks back in their orderly rows. When the front desks were finally in the middle of the classroom, Sakura saw that one boy was pushing it on his own and that his chair was at the front still. 'Some people just can't get the help these days' Sakura thought.
"Thank you."
Sakura jumped and turned to find Sai staring at her. "For what?" She replied.
"When someone helps you, you say thank you to show your gratitude. You helped me earlier so I'm showing my gratitude." Sai explained.
"You're welcome." Sakura kindly responded.
Kakashi decided to speak when everyone was done.
"Well class, you might not have noticed but that was part of the study. I shall give you my observation. Most of the girls got both of the chairs. Some of the girls got their own. Most of the boys pushed the desk and some of the boys left to mess about. Some people " Kakashi glanced at Sakura and Naruto. "did more than they had to and helped out."
Sakura was starting to find this lesson interesting. Kakashi-sensei's explanation was really good. She couldn't wait till the main part of the lesson.
"Do you understand? You can observe and analyse the things that happen in certain relationships. Now, everyone I will give you 5 minutes to pair yourself with someone. When you have, get your chair and move to any space and face the front."
Sakura was about to head over to Ino when she saw that she was already with Hinata. Sakura frowned, she was going to be left out. Suddenly, someone grabbed her wrist.
"Huh?" Sakura asked.
"You're going with me." Sakura found herself looking into black emotionless eyes.
"S-Sasuke? Why with me? Doesn't Naruto sound bet-"
"Hey Sasuke! Wanna be partners? You can do all of the work for me!" Naruto practically boomed. Now Sakura could see why Sasuke didn't want to be with him, he was too loud and lazy. But still, why her? Sakura was sure he had other mates or girls who were his friends.
"Sasuke-kun!" Most of the girls in the class came rushing over to him with hearts in their eyes.
"Move, outta my way!" A bitchy voice snarled as she pushed through the crowd.
A red haired girl with glasses came out. "Oh Sasuke-kun." Her voice went all whiny. "Want to be partners with me? I know you do." The girl smiled seductively.
"Hn." Sasuke grunted and pointed to his right.
Everyone who wanted to be with Sasuke looked to their right and found Sakura next to him, Sasuke's hand still wrapped around her wrist. The girls seethed jealously and stormed to find other boys.
The girl with bright red hair still remained. "Why would you want to be with a slut like her Sasuke-kun? You know I'm better, she's just a pinky midget freak." The red haired girl said while strutting her ass out.
'I'm the slut? Just look at her skirt!" Sakura thought, ignoring the end of the insult. Sasuke decided to speak. "Go away Karin, you're giving me a head ache."
Karin flipped her hair and opened her mouth. "Are you sure it's me?" Karin giggled. "Stop playing hard to get Sasuke-kun! I know you like me." She then sighed. "But I do understand sometimes that guys need a break to clear their head from horny thoughts about me, so I'll see you later, Sasuke-kun." And with that, Karin left off.
"Geez, what a bitch." Sakura mumbled. She looked up at Sasuke. "So why do you want to be with me?"
He shrugged. "It's either a loudmouth or fangirls, I think this is the best choice."
The pair grabbed their chairs and sat at the space by the windows.
"What's your name?" Sasuke asked.
"Sakura Haruno." Sakura replied, putting on a smile. Sakura suddenly remembered that she didn't know Sasuke's full name. "What's your name Sasuke?"
Sasuke raised a brow. "You just said it, I'm Sasuke Uchiha."
"Ah yes, your brother owns the Uchiha franchise, doesn't he?" Sakura asked.
"You've heard of him?" He asked, his voice turning icier.
"Umm...yeah?" Sakura answered confused. 'Why is he all of a sudden getting colder? It's scary.'
"Hn." He grunted.
"Now class, I think I gave you too much time." Kakashi said, deciding to stop everyones chatter. "I want you both to give your definitions of the relationships of classmates. You can use my observation from earlier to help you. That will take five minutes and then after that you can put your hand up and say whether you disagree or agree to your partners answer."
Sakura pondered on what she should say when Sasuke gave his definition.
"Hn. The relationships of classmates are above acquaintances but below friends. They work together well if they have to but they do not know enough about their classmates to be called friends."
Sakura blinked. 'That was a true explanation.' Sakura thought though she did disagree about the last part as some people were friends with their classmates. Sasuke made a gesture that it was her turn.
Sakura started, unsure of what to say. "W-Well I think the relationships of classmates differ as some classmates are friends and some classmates have barely any relationship. But classmates are classmates so they must have if even the smallest relationship to the biggest relationship." Sasuke raised a brow about how strangely she phrased that. Sakura blushed. "What? I'm sorry it's not as well put together as your one."
"Hn. I suppose that's true."
Sakura rolled her eyes. "There's that arrogance again."
"No. I was talking about your statement." Sasuke corrected.
"T-Thanks." Sakura muttered.
Sasuke smirked.
Kakashi hoped everyone was done talking and put his hand up, signalling for the class to be quiet. When they did quieten, he raised his voice. "The pair can raise their hand up and say their partners definition and also state why they disagree or agree." When no one raised their hand, Kakashi opened up his desk drawer. "Fine. Let's read Icha-Icha paradise instead." He said, his voice turning jolly. The class groaned and put up their hands. "Finally, Ino and Hinata, start us off."
Ino waved her hand to get everybody's attention. "Hi boys, hi Sakura!" Ino shouted cheerily. "You're with Sasuke-kun!" She squealed. Kakashi cleared his throat. "Okay. Hinatas definition was that classmates are not all friends but some people must be friends and that some wanna be friends." Ino summarised.
"And do you agree?" Kakashi's lazy voice drawled.
"Of course because she's my friend and that proves it! You gotta support your friends, right?" Ino responded loudly.
"That's right Ino. Well done Hinata, I'm sure you gave a much more detailed definition than that though." Kakashi said, waiting for her to start. Hinata blushed.
"I-Ino said t-that classmates have a m-matey r-relationship. That they are your m-mates in class." Hinata stammered, embarrassed.
"Duh! That's why they're called class-mates!" Ino burst in loudly.
"And Hinata, do you agree?" Kakashi asked.
"W-Well I-I uh d-don't know." Hinata answered, not wanting to disagree and hurt her friend.
Kakashi seemed to understand and picked another pair. "Sai and Naruto, you're up."
Sai looked to Kakashi. "Naruto said that classmates always want to fight each other. I do not understand what that has to do with relationships so I disagree."
Naruto stood up. "Sai said there is no relationship with classmates because we don't bother talking to each other. I disagree!" He shouted.
"Why?" Kakashi prodded.
"Cuz..." Naruto scratched his head. "He disagrees with mine!"
Kakashi rolled his eye. "Sasuke, Sakura, go on."
"Sasuke said that the relationships of classmates are above acquaintances but below friends. He also said that classmates work together fine but they don't know enough about their classmates to be called friends. I agree but disagree with the last part because some classmates are friends."
"True Sakura, good. Sasuke don't let her down."
Sasuke looked over to Sakura. "Sakura said that the relationships of classmates differ as some classmates are friends and some classmates have not any relationship. She also stated that classmates are the people you spend most of your time with so you must have at least some relationship." Sakura blushed, he phrased it better then she had.
"Well, Sasuke do you agree?" Kakashi asked.
"Hn. I suppose so." He answered.
Sakura stared at Sasuke. He seemed good enough, so how could he be a gang member? Sakura asked herself that question.
The rest of the lesson and the day went by quickly to Sakura as she was still focusing on the spiky black haired boy called Sasuke.
