Sakura's P.O.V
"Home sweet...home..."I sighed as I stretched myself on my miniature couch cum bed.
If any one of you is thinking where my bed is?
Well! I don't have a BED...
Well! I don't have a lot of things such as a kitchen or a dining ro...Err...I'll come back to that later. Today is the first day of my old new school...and I've so much to d- Wait is that the time...
"It's 7:35...already...God I'm dead ...I'm sooo late "I screamed to myself and flung myself out of the couch.
10 minutes later
"Faster...Faster Sakura you need to get to the bus-stand...I can see it...I can see it..."I thought my lungs gasping for air as I sprinted to the local bus-stand.
I almost tripped in my hurry to catch the already departing bus...yes I missed my bus on the first day of school.
"Umm...when can I get another bus for the Konoha high Private school..."I asked the old woman standing next to me.
"In half an hour or so dear..."she said.
"Augh !" I groaned.
40 minutes later
"What's the way...to IIB..."I panicked.
"It's upstairs...The class next to the weaponry lab" the janitor said.
"Thanks..."I mumbled and rushed to my class.
I gently rapped the room door.
"Yes..."Kakashi sensei said.
And I entered the room. There was a considerable silence. And then I practically made the biggest mistake of my life ...I glanced at my class to tell you the truth it was A.W.K.W.A.R.D...
Literally everyone was staring at me...Ino was whispering something to Naruto and Tenten gave me that goofy grin and Hinata was smiling at me...and the rest were giving me looks as if I'd had grown a unicorn's horn on my head...
It was giving me jitters so I quickly tore my gaze away and focused on Kakashi sensei's words.
"Silence please...Yes dear introduce yourself..." he said and rapped the desk to get the attention of the students.
"Umm...Well..."I began...Wow weird! How do I introduce myself...half of them already know me...
Ino gave me a 'thumbs-up' and I started "Hello! My name is Haruno Sakura..."
Just as I was about to move to next sentence a particular head whisked up...
Holy shit...He's in my class...Sasuke is in my class...What the...okay now carry on...swear later...
I reminded myself and made sure I avoided the piercing glance of my former friend.
"Well...I used to stay here in Konoha...but five years back...for some reasons I had to move out of town...But now I'm back...I know most of you here...so I hope it won't be a problem fitting in ." I completed and gave a little bow and looked at Kakashi sensei who motioned me to sit next to Ino. And for a Second my breath hitched cuz sitting next to Ino meant sitting in front of ...
Sasuke Uchiha...that Sasuke Uchiha...whom I refused to have any contact with for the last five years..
But I silently made my way to Ino who gave me quick hug and she said as planned
"Hey...forehead I missed you..."
"I missed you too Ino-pig...I missed you too..."I smiled
"Oh come...you guys practically call each other every day...We visited her just a month back...right Hinata..." Tenten scoffed at our planned happy reunion.
God...Hinata was right...I should've let Tenten into our plan...Shit...
Please don't let him hear it... Please don't let him hear it...
Suddenly Naruto yelled "Oi! Teme stop staring at Sakura-chan, will you?".
Shit...he heard it...I need to do something...
"Hi! ...Sasuke-kun It's been a long time..."I managed to smile.
He had a weird look in his face, first he was flustered and then his faces lightened up a bit...and then it went back to its usual stony expression.
"Hn..."He grunted.
Cool...this guy still doesn't care about me...
"O-Okay..."I said and turned away.
Come on Sakura...you didn't expect him to hug you ...did you?
Well! The truth was I expected that...not a hug but a friendly smile at least but No...Nothing ever turns out like I want it to be...
The bell finally rung and Kakashi sensei went out I actually had forgotten he was here.
The rest of my classes went on without much fuss and soon it was lunch time.
"Sakura...when are you going to tell him..."Ino said biting into her burger.
"I came here just today...and you want me to go out there and profess my un-dying love for him...are you sick? "I snapped almost chocking on my vitamin water.
"Nope...she's serious...these five years...You've been like...Ino shall we..."Tenten said winking at Ino. Who cleared her throat and made a 'phone sign' with her finger and began
"Hello...Tenten...So...how's Sasuke-kun...Is he okay...does he talk about me..."Ino's Sakura said in a fake excited tone.
"Ummm...well..."Tenten said
"Has he grown...well that's a silly question...I mean...Wait!? Does he have a girlfriend..."Ino said mimicking Sakura's panic-stricken voice.
"Umm...Sakura...can y-"she began only to be cut off by Ino's- Sakura
"Oh my...he has a girlfriend...I knew it...wah!"Ino acted sniffing and rubbing her eyes
"Beep-beep-beep" Tenten said announcing that the call is disconnected.
Hinata gave the two a round of applause for their commendable performance while I snorted at them "Ha...ha...ha...very funny".
Meanwhile with the boys
"Oh come on Teme...I'm hungry..."Naruto whined.
"I'm not letting you anywhere near the cafeteria for the next two weeks...after what you did today."Sasuke hissed pinning his blonde best friend (although he would never accept the fact in public) to the wall.
"I'm sorry...How many times do you want me to repeat it..."Naruto said trying to shove him off.
"Uchiha...It's not his fault you know..How will he know that you had a crush on the pinkette?"Neji smirked.
Sasuke's grip loosened and Naruto managed to wiggle out of his death grip. "This is interesting...So...you do have a crush on Sakura..."Shikamaru said smiling cheekily.
"No..I don't..I don't even remember her...nor did she try to contact me these five years...I mean she was my friend and all but she should have at least tried to like...one phone call...or one letter or somethi-"Sasuke ranted off.
"Dude...you are in LOVE."Naruto grinned throwing himself at his raven haired friend.
"So that's the reason why you did not let your mom switch that old vintage landline phone of yours...because she probably only had that number...You expected I mean waited for her to call all these years..."Neji stated joining the dots giving him an incredulous look.
"No...I told you it's nothing like that..."Sasuke yelled quite flustered trying to get out of Naruto's rib-cracking bear hug. He turned to his chuckling long haired lavender eyed friend and growled
"Hyuuga one more...word from you and I'm going to tell Tenten that you secretly look at her all time while she works out at the weaponry section..."
Neji blushed furiously and turned away from the three muttering some swears under his breath to which Shikamaru burst out laughing. Neji shot him a look at his black haired friend and stated "You laugh and I will tell Ino-"
"I DO NOT LIKE HER!" Shikamaru yelled.
"Dude...who said anything about liking her."Naruto laughed.
Shikamaru ducked his face under his arm in embarrassment while Sasuke smirked and Neji gave a death glare to the smirking teen.
BBBRRRRIIINNNGGG
Sasuke's P.O.V
The lunch ended and Naruto's growling stomach reminded the blonde that he had missed the lunch.
"That's what happens when you mess with THE UCHIHA" I smirked and went to my lockers to get my books for the next lesson only to find Sakura doing the same. I decided to ignore her cuz I particularly had nothing to say or to put it more accurately I had so much to say but I didn't know where and how to begin...
I began walking away with Sakura a few feet before me when a guy pushed past her rather roughly knocking her to the ground making her books fly all over the corridor.
"I'm sorry...pinky..." the boy laughed and walked away.
"You will be...jerk." I muttered under my breath mentally making a note that the guy would be the number one on my hit list and helped her pick up her books.
She looked at me and smiled "Thanks..."She breathed.
"No problem..."I said my lips threatening to curve upwards into a small smile.
Come on idiot smile...say something...you waited for this you Dolt...
I can't...she thinks I'm a jerk...
Nope...didn't you hear a thank you...she is grateful to you now come on ask her out...
Nope...I can't I don't know her...
That's why you are ask someone out ...to KNOW them
...
Fine...sometimes I regret being your inner voice...Even Naruto is better than you
...
"Err...Sasuke are you there..."Sakura said waving her hand in front of me.
"Oh...sorry I spaced out."I explained and started walking away with Sakura right next to me there was an awkward silence between them for a while.
"Ummm... so how's Itachi-kun?" she asked breaking the silence much to Sasuke's relief.
"Well! He joined the police forces last year and I have heard nothing much about him..."I said my mind drifting to my brother's face the last time I saw him.
"Oh..." Sakura said her voice a bit softer than usual. Her pink bangs fell carelessly on her forehead covering her emerald eyes.
"Ummm...so Sasuke...are you free today...could you come over to my place...I mean...we could catch up...you know "Sakura suddenly asked facing me.
Oh my god...she asked me to come over...This has to be a dream...
My insides were flipping with joy my mind was going numb for once in my life I was literally tongue-tied.
I didn't realize that I had that typical arrogant stony expression on my face which made her feel that I was rejecting her proposal. So she began "I mean its okay...if you don't want to..." and started walking away.
No...No...No...stop stop stop...
"When...do you want me to come over?"I asked to hide my nervousness.
"Today evening...at around 5 or something..."She said her face lightening up.
"Cool..."I said trying to sound emotionless as always...but I was doing a very bad job at that.
With one last smile she went into her class and I kept standing there like a total love-struck Idiot...whose crush had just promised him a date.
Life was getting better...and better...and better...
