English Class
She hated his stupid smile. She hated his stupid face. She hated his stupid eyes. She also hated English class at the moment. If she wasn't presently sitting in that particular class room, those pair of stupid, onyx eyes to the right wouldn't be focused on her. Though Sakura's eyes resisted every urge to glance back, she knew. She felt the heaviness of his locked gaze. It was almost unbearable. Ever since discovering Sasuke's feelings for her, the girl became unaware of her studies and completely inattentive. Everything was awkward now. Tutoring him grew into a huge hassle. And now she had to endure all her rocketing emotions during English class. The confused student sank low to her seat, releasing a faint whimper.
Suddenly, a crumpled ball of paper from updwards landed on her desk. This gave her an excuse to stare at Sasuke.
"Read it" he mouthed.
Sakura unfolded the noted, carefully smoothing the creases. It read:
So what do I need to get on that exam for the date? An 80 right?
Sakura snickered. An 80? Who does he think he is? She wrote in response:
Yeah right. If you get a 90 or higher, you've got that date. An 80 is a gift.
She crumpled it back into a ball and tossed it to the boy to the right of her. Sakura saw the look of disbelief on the boy's face after reading it. He scribbled something with his pen and threw it at her once again. This time, it read:
What!? Who gets a 90 on a semester exam? Seriously. I'll get an 80.
But before Sakura could whip up a reply, Kakashi took notice of their note-passing and was now walking towards Sakura with a grim eye. He stopped between both of their desks.
"Miss Haruno, would you mind explaining to everyone as to why you are exchanging notes with Mr. Uchiha?" he asked, loud enough for the class to hear. Students gasped and immediately hyped up.
Sakura gulped and looked at Sasuke, desperately searching for an excuse. Sasuke merely shrugged and mouthed, 'Make something up.' When no answer came out of Sakura, Kakashi suddenly seized the notebook paper out of Sakura's grasp. He played with it for a while, tossing it with his hand, and determining the consequences.
"Shall I...read it aloud to the whole class?" he proposed
"NO!" Sakura and Sasuke pleaded.
"Yeah! Read it! Read it! Read it!" the class chanted.
Kakashi gave the two opposing students a scheming look. "I'm sorry guys. Majority wins."
His hands were now unfolding the ball. Sakura's heart started racing.
More unfolding...
thump thump thump thump thump...
More unfolding...
thump thump thump thump thump...
He was almost done now...
thump thump thump thump thump...
"Excuse me, Kakashi sensei," a female student intruded from the door. "You've got a new student,"
Next to the girl was a spiky-haired blonde boy with deep cerulean eyes. You wouldn't be able to label him as a new kid. He had a wide, cheerful grin written across his face, a grin completely opposite of Sasuke's.
His name his Uzumaki Naruto."
Kakashi paused for a second to study his face. "So, Mr. Uzumaki, what brings you to this highschool?" he asked calmly.
"Uh..hehehe I ' accidentally' blew up the science lab at my old school" he answered as if his behavior was no big deal.
Kakashi laughed as well. "Oh great! We've got a prankster you guys!" he announced gleefully to the classroom. He then turned back to Naruto, mocking his grin. "I hate you already"
Naruto's grin turned into a frown. But he knew that the teacher was messing around. Kakashi examined the classroom, deciding where to place his new student.
Now you may sit... to the left of... Miss Haruno" Sakura raised her hand to indicate her location.
His grin drew back once more as he made his way towards the pink-haired student. Sakura was thankful for Naruto's arrival since it managed to get Kakashi distracted from the note-passing situation.
"Hey there gorgeous," Naruto blurted, turning his head to Sakura . He took a grasp of Sakura's smooth hand and slightly pecked it with his lips. "How about you and me at lunch, sweetie?"
Sakura shot him a disgusted stare, jerking her hand from his touch. "EW!" she snapped audibly as she raised a fist and grabbed him by the collar with her other hand. "YOU DISGUSTING JERK! DO I LOOK LIKE A SL–"
"Now, now Miss Haruno" Kakashi warned with ease. She calmly got a hold of her composure and withdrew her fist from midair . "I'm sure that Sasuke wouldn't like it if he had to share his precious tutor now"
And indeed, the Uchiha gave the blonde an obtrusive glare. In exchange, the boy smiled annoyingly. All Sasuke was thinking was: FUCK YOU
"I will see you three at detention this afternoon" Kakashi remarked. He turned to Sasuke and stated, "I'll see you because of that note"
He then turned to the girl. "I'll see you because of that note as well"
Finally, he turned to the new student. "I'll see you for showing public display of affection,"
The three students saved their breaths arguing, knowing that he'll make their punishment worse.
"You know," he said directly to them "You guys are turning into my favorites"
And with that, he smiled and continued writing on the chalkboard.
Sasuke hastily turned his head back to Naruto. Naruto seemed unafraid of his murderous-looking eyes. Sasuke mouthed:
You're so dead, motherfucker.
A/N
I wanted Naruto to be a more significant character in this fic. Aside from creating the love triangle, he actually plays an important role. In the meantime, thanks for the reviews!
