Hey guys...i'm back again...So here's the fifth chapter. The story till now was something I always wanted to write...this nerd jock cliché is kind of my favourite...because people call me a nerd too...even if I try to tell them I'm not...but some people just do not listen...
I guess I started rambling again...never mind.I hope you like it.
Disclaimer- I ran out of witty disclaimers...unfortunately I do not own Naruto
Sakura had proved that she was a nerd. Two weeks in school and she had aced all the tests. Ever since the half an hour visit to Sakura's house, they had barely even got a chance to speak to each other. Either Sakura would be too busy with her beloved books or Sasuke would be busy in his basketball practises, they had a match a month later. However Sakura was hardly out of his thoughts and line of sight.
"Teme...are you sure...nothing's wrong?" Naruto asked poking Sasuke on his shoulders.
"Hn" Sasuke grunted.
"You sure?" he said again
"Hn" Sasuke said dribbling the ball
"Positive" Naruto said yet again
"Hn" Sasuke tossed the ball and scored another basket.
"Oh! look...Hi Sakura-chan" Naruto added cheerfully.
Sasuke's head whiplashed in the direction Naruto pointed but there was no one only a bunch of cheerleaders a couple of who had fainted when Sasuke looked their way.
"Ha...Ha...Ha" Naruto and his other friends chortled giving each other high-fives.
Sasuke gave them a death-glare. "Cool...down Uchiha...why don't you go speak to your girl?"Neji suggested smirking.
"She's not my girl." Sasuke stated...not yet.
"Ohkay..."Neji sighed shaking his head at Sasuke's silliness.
Sasuke's P.O.V
Did I ever tell you that Sakura was the only girl who could rock the glamorously disastrous neon red 'I ADORE BOOKS ' in the small book shop cum library in the farthest corner of the town. The T-shirt was hideous but Sakura looked adorable in it her hair pulled into a high pony tail,with a few bangs artistically left out so that it framed her heart shaped face. She had her back turned to me and was busy stacking books in the shelf.
I had very intelligently traced out the place of her part-time job.
It wasn't very difficult cuz I had stalke- umm...unintentionally followed her there...Err...ahem Uchiha's never stalk!
I had wasted a few minutes lingering outside the place and when I thought I had enough reason and explanations for why I was there in first place I went inside the building.
I was seated a few tables away from the science-fiction section when she had come to stack the books. I was trying to memorise the few things of the book I was supposed to be 'reading'.
My face well hidden with the book I pondered over the ways I could speak to her.
I can bump into her by 'attempted' accident.
Nah! ...Too cliché.
Ask her about a book?
Tch...It'll make me look like an idiot.
Buy a book.
I can try that.
I sighed and placed the book down, quite ashamed of myself for doing so much to make a girl talk to me. I looked up my eyes wandering to the place where Sakura had been a few minutes ago. She was not there. I sighed again and went back to my book bracing myself for my master plan.
"Can I look at the book please?" a voice came from right in front of me.
"Hmm...f-" my breath hitched as my eyes locked with two sparkling green ones from behind a pair of thick spectacles.
"Hi...Sasuke what brings you here?" the pinkette asked.
"Uh...uh...umm..." my mind had gone frustratingly blank.
"I didn't know you were into romance novels...and that too Sabrina James." She said pointing at the pink cover of the book I was 'reading' a few seconds ago.
I had no idea that I was reading a romance novel with a ... pink cover.
I had no idea of who the hell Sabrina James was.
I had no idea since when was she sitting right in front of me.
"Sabrina James writes too mushy stuff (A/N No offence Sabrina James fans)" she quipped.
"Can...we not talk about Sabrina James" I snapped getting a bit irritated.
She gave me a hurt look leaning back against her chair.
Good you managed to do it again...now she thinks you're a jerk.
"I mean...I do not read romance novels." true
"So..."
"Someone asked me to buy a book for her." lie
"Someone...Sasuke you never told me that you have a...girlfriend congratulations...like someone has finally broken down your human ice-cube-ness...COOL" she chattered happily.
"NO...No...I don't have a girlfriend." I began.
"Oh." She frowned.
"My mom...asked me to buy a book for her...so I picked up these girly books" I said.
She raised an eyebrow and all of a sudden pulled me along with her to somewhere.
My eyes fixed on our fingers laced together, my face threatened to colour and a weird goofy 'I-AM-SO-HAPPY' smile formed on my face.
We walked past the Science-fiction section, then the romance section, then the teen fiction section and finally stopped at the adult-fiction section. It was in the farthest corner of the building .A bit gloomy at that particular moment there was no one apart from us two in the narrow aisle between the huge tall metal bookshelves stacked with thousands and thousands of literature. I glanced at Sakura who was busy staring at a particular shelf reading the titles of the books one by one, murmuring something to herself chewing her lower lips again and again and nodding her head letting her coral coloured bangs fall on her eyes. Our hands still interlinked.
All of a sudden she smiled and took out a dusty paperback book with a golden rim .She turned to face me she had that breath-taking smile on her flawless face. Everything around me was standstill. Light fell on the right half of her face,managing to keep the rest half in shadows. My face was a few inches apart from hers, her breath tickled on my nose..There was something in the air...something intoxicating...that made me feel lightheaded. I started leaning in a tiniest bit...
"Your mothers going to love this." she said wedging the book between our faces.
"Huh.."I blinked breaking out of my stupor.
"You can buy this." She said removing her hand from mine and flipping through its pages.
"Okay..."I mumbled my mind a bit dazed.
What the fu—was I doing?
"Cool..Then let's go...there's something in this aisle...that really makes me feel weird...so let's get out of here" She said walking past me.
"Huh..." I agreed my mind too worked up to give a better response.
As soon as we got out of that dangerously awkward aisle the air seemed to be a tad bit different.
She gave the book to a girl at the counter "Miyu...he's buying this book."
"Oh...This looks like a very intellectual one...right...I can show you some better ones ..umm what's your name." the brunette said giving me a coy smile.
I winced another flirty girl. "Sasuke..." I said .
"Oh...yes Sasuke-kun...we can get a better book for you...Sakura's into this kind of old-fash" she said smiling at me while playing with her brown locks...
"No thanks...I trust Sakura...can you please hurry up with the receipt and stuff." I deadpanned.
"O-Okay." The girl said and asked me sign on a paper while Sakura packed the book.
"Thanks" I said and turned to Sakura who nodded at him.
"Umm...can I get your number." He asked.
"Give me yours...I'll call you."Sakura said taking out her cell.
He typed his number onto her cell and she gave him a call.
"Okay...see ya later." She said and went on with her work.
I stood there for several minutes like a lovestruck idiot with the book dangling in my hand as I looked at the now shut glass door of the library.I had finally managed to get her number. My eyes lingered to the book and a faint smile made it's way to my face. Sakura had managed to grab my attention all over was something in her that actually set her apart from all other I walked down to my car the image of the particular aisle in the library crossed my mind...
Well! that was one romantically spooky aisle...
I shuddered at the thought of Sakura being so close to me...any thing could've happened...literally anything...
I completely blame the aisle for that...I mean i lo-uh ummm like Sakura...i do not find her that attractive, I mean come on ...Those soft pink hair, the flawless porcelain white skin ,the gorgeously delicious red lips...you get the point right...see nothing attractive at all...
I guess it was the wicked air in the aisle that was doing things to me...stupid sadistic aisle...
Finally I'm done with the fifth chapter...the last part came out a bit crappy I guess .
Please review...if you liked it...and Icould do with a few suggestions if you have any about how the story should progress...
I'll be waiting..
God bless!
