Unique: The meeting Chapter 2

She gracefully stepped out of the car, lightly dusting of the nonexistent dust on her black school skirt that was a few inches above the school's acceptable level. Not that Sakura cared though; she could easily get past the teacher's inspection. Her father funded the school after all. Confidently, she waved off the driver and sauntered into the school compound.

Everyone stared at her as she passed. Sakura was used to the way others stared at her. She was pretty after all. No, she was beautiful. She walked towards the general office with long purposeful strides. The receptionist looked up at her even before she opened her mouth to speak.

"Sakura Victoria Izarus? You are the new transfer student am i right?"

The receptionist gave Sakura a sweet motherly smile. Turning around, she searched through several boxes full of paper and after a few moments, pulled out a piece of paper, which she handed over to Sakura.

"Here. This is your schedule. Your first lesson would be homeroom in room 502. Just walk out and turn left. All the best! Ask around if you need more directions."

Sakura smiled and thanked the receptionist. She briefly scanned through her schedule before heading off to her first class.

Sasuke slid into his seat at the back of the classroom. He ignored the sultry gazes of the girls burning holes into his back as he turned to deposit his bag behind his chair, his shirt riding up a little, showing off his pale sculptured skin. There was a collective sigh as Sasuke turned back to face the class. Several girls shamelessly stared at him while several girls as well as guys quickly turned away, blushing.

Sasuke sighed internally. Guess blue is a wrong colour to pick. It attracts too much attention. With familiar actions, he pulled out his much battered notebook with pages filled with seemingly identical barcodes and started to scan several codes in it that would download several files into his system. He stared thoughtfully at the section of his notebook that had the heading "flirting techniques" written on it, followed by the extremely long code at the bottom. He had never bothered to flirt with other girls before. However, he his curiosity was piqued. After a moment's hesitation, he scanned the code with his eyes. No one could actually see what Sasuke was actually doing as he looked just as though he was reading an old book, the way his pupils shifting from the left to the right and back again.
As the file completed its download, Sasuke immediately mentally opened it, scanning its contents curiously.

Flirting techniques 101
For guys
How to flirt with girls

He continued to scan the long list of techniques that seemed to get more atrocious as he read down the list.

Slapping someone you like on your first meeting? Sure, it would give the other party a lasting impression. But definitely not a good one.

Finally one particular sentence caught his eye.

Smile
studies have shown that 88% of women remember a man with an attractive smile. A pleasant genuine smile is definitely the way to attract the one you want! So smile like you mean it!

Sasuke stared at the statement with profound interest. Really? It was that simple? He wanted to give it a try. But, he hardly smiled. Would it be weird if he actually did? Should he? Should he not?

His internal debate, oblivious to the rest, raged on. He was so caught up in his little argument that he did not realise that their homeroom teacher, Mr Kakashi, had entered the room. And that he was not the only one. Kakashi's footsteps were heavy and a little inconsistent due to a previous accident that hurt his ankle. Sasuke could hear the slight creaking of the metal that was used to secure Kakashi's bones together with every step that he took. Finally, he realised that there was the sound of new footsteps following Kakashi's. The soft and rhythmic steps taken by the new person was addictive in its melody.

Kakashi stopped at the teacher's table, rapping at the chalkboard lazily.

"Hey class, listen up. We have a new transfer student today."

Sasuke slowly looked up... and was captivated by a pair of glowing emerald eyes that seemed blue at certain times. Time seemed to stop as he stared at the stranger. Her shoulder length light strawberry pink hair was unusual but it seemed to be her natural hair colour. As the light shone on her, reflecting her lighter pink highlights, Sasuke thought he saw an angel. Her full lips curved as she smiled gently. She opened her mouth to speak.

"My name is Sakura Victoria Izarus. Nice to meet you all. I hope we get along well."

Her voice was light and it sounded like bells chiming. Sasuke felt frozen in his seat as he stared at Sakura. This feeling... it felt so foreign. Was it even possible?

He felt her gaze fixated upon him and before he could rethink his actions, he smiled at her. It was just a slight lifting of his lips and softening his cool gaze, however, it felt new to Sasuke. He had never smiled at anyone before. He hoped it didn't look awkward or just plain wrong.

Sakura could not help the blush that spilled onto her cheeks as she saw the boy, that had previously caught her attention, smile at her. It was a small smile, a little unnatural, as though the boy had never practised smiling before. But it took her breath away as he watched his gaze softened as he stared at her.

She shook herself mentally, frustrated with her lack of control. Sakura Victoria Izarus would never blush at a man she did not even know! And yet, she did.

Sasuke looked to his side, forgetting that he was still smiling. The girl to his left, Karin , if he remembered correctly, gasped and actually turned beet red before fainting, much to Sasuke's amusement. He slowly schooled his expression back to its normal emotionless mask facing the front of the classroom again. He roughly heard Kakashi asking someone to take Karin to the infirmary and directing Sakura to her seat.

Kakashi turned to look at Sasuke saying, "Sasuke, as the currently elected welfare committee in charge, you are to bring Ms Izarus around the school today. No objections." His eyes curved into half moons as he smiled at Sasuke. Sasuke just nodded in return.

Sakura looked back at the boy (Sasuke was it?) and smiled coyly, not believing her luck.

Reviews anyone? :D Thanks for reading!
