3. UNPLEASANT SURPRISES…

(Sasuke' s P.O.V)

I splashed water on my face, hard, and closed the tap. I exited the men's washroom and made my way towards the stairs, for my next class. It was Chemistry.

My 'episode' with Sakura, had just taken place. I didn't intend to be so harsh towards her. It was purely instinctive. Okay. It has kind of become my habit to mess with others, but I am sure I didn't make a good impression on her. Whoa whoa whooaaa…. Since when did I start caring about impressions? This girl was messing with me as well.

The passage was almost empty. A few students were loitering around; some were also making way towards classes.

Suddenly, I realized there was quite a bit of shouting going on in the playground. I looked down from a window, and immediately wind hit my face. Since my face was still wet, it felt nice.

On the playground, I saw some perverts trying to pin Sakura's bra on the lost and found notice board.

I felt a small knot in my stomach. Also, I felt a little angry. On whom, I wasn't sure.

I think I felt a little angry on me, or maybe my anger was directed to the boys. But I still didn't find the reason to be annoyed. After all, it was me who started all this! It didn't make sense.

Then I saw Sakura, far away from the group of boys, still as a statue. Because of my good eyesight, I knew she was crying. And somehow, that made the knot, in my stomach, tighten.

I kept staring at her for a little while and realized how messy she looked. I felt guilty, I realized with a jolt.

Although I wasn't exactly an angel, I also didn't want to be the devil.

Convincing myself, that this was just guilt, I found the easiest way to make it go. Say sorry. Apologize. Easy peasy, Simple pimple. But, after what happened in the morning, it wasn't that easy.

The bell ringed. Chemistry was finished. I guess I had been standing here for quite some time.

It wasn't as if I was the kind of heartless jerk who couldn't say sorry. It wasn't me. It was Sakura. She was the problem. And I figured, because of some disorder, I couldn't just ignore this particular problem.

Then again, it was in my nature to ignore…

(Sakura's P.O.V.)

I ran inside the washroom in the canteen.

Throwing my bag on the tiled floor, I opened my glasses and dropped them on the nearby sink. I splashed my face with water and instantly, felt better. By now I was angry. I rarely felt the emotion 'anger'. But this time, somehow, that Uchiha had managed to get on my nerves. But I felt disgusted as well. Because I knew that the moment that brat would come in front of me, I would become melted butter again.

I was always the one to be bullied, but I never ever let myself lose my composure. I knew that I would start crying anytime now, again, so I decided to eat something. As if to back me up, my stomach grumbled. I put my glasses in my bag, and went out of the washroom.

I was looking better now. Much, much better than before.

I went up to the guy behind the counter and ordered a sandwich and a glass of juice. I paid him and my way towards the nearest table that was empty.

I started eating and felt my emotions subsiding. I was felling better and was almost ready to attend my classes (or face the Uchiha disaster).

Just when I was starting to think that maybe the day wasn't that bad, life bites me in the ass. It was as if I was born cursed.

Itachi Uchiha entered the canteen and ordered some food. He looked grumpy. Then he saw me. I think I saw a flicker of resentment, but then he smiled. I smiled back at him

He came and sat in my table and started eating immediately. I found that a bit weird because there were a lot of empty tables nearby. Students were just coming in.

Who knew my instincts were so good?

He gulped down all his food in a matter of seconds and leaned back in his seat. I was chewing my food slow, real slow, because I knew something was wrong.

"You know, or maybe you don't, I have never been late anywhere, not even for a class or a date." He looked at me, straight in the eye. "But today, I got late; late for a freaking assignment. Ma'am didn't let me enter. She is damn strict. No use telling you her name because you wouldn't know her. I know you are new here. " He paused for a little while to breathe.

" OK. I am sorry to hear that, but, why are you telling me all this?" I asked. I was seriously confused and had stopped eating as well.

"I know this isn't such a big problem, I mean it's just an assignment, right?" He ignored my question completely, "But my parents…. well lets just say I might even be grounded for a week. People have a lot of expectations from me. Do you realize that this is, like, the first time I have ever been late? Hah! Itachi Uchiha late. Just imagine. But, do you know why I was late?"

Shock would have been an understatement.

"Well, you don't need to know. Just remember two things, one, do not zone out while walking. And two, stay the hell away from me."

Saying that, he stormed out of the canteen.

(Sasuke' s P.O.V)

Her lips crashed down hard on mine. It wasn't sweet. It felt tasteless actually. But it was still absorbing. I trailed down kisses along her jaw and she started tearing out my t-shirt. Her long tresses were spread out on the floor. I had already reached her neck and was sucking hard.

We were making out on one of the small storage rooms. Well we called them storage rooms, but they were almost the size of a large cupboard. These rooms were found on every floor and most remained unlocked. A few were used for storage and those were locked. Teachers considered these small rooms useless but we had found a special use for them.

I attacked her lips again. Her hands were roaming around my back. She opened her mouth wide, and let me enter. My tongue roamed around her mouth and she moaned. Our lungs were begging but we were merciless. That's what I liked about her. She was feisty. Finally, need for oxygen took over and we parted.

Below me, Ino was panting hard. So was I. I could feel her chest moving up and down. As soon as that thought surfaced, I kissed her again. Ino was completely taken by surprise, but she kissed back anyway. After a few minutes, we stopped. I would have rolled over but there was no space so I collapsed on top of her.

Being the jerks we were, we started again. This time, I pulled of her top while kissing her roughly. Her hands were clutching my hair, pushed me head. I broke for a little while to look at her. She was wearing a black bra, and she looked extremely sexy. Crashing on her lips again I opened her bra. I trailed kisses down her neck and reached her breast. My lips were busy sucking on one while my hand was playing with the other one. She moaned harder and started unbuttoning my pants. I went on to the next breast and kept sucking till her nipple became hard.

She suddenly pushed me off and started dressing. She was about to wear her bra when I pulled it off her hands.

"What the hell?" She asked angrily.

"That's my line. What are you doing?" I was seriously irritated.

"I just remembered something." Saying that, she snatched her bra from my hands. She dressed up completely and gave me a small peck on the lips. She smiled innocently as if nothing had happened and left.

Irritated beyond imagination, I put on my t-shirt, buttoned my pants, and walked out.

My head was throbbing badly by the time I had reached canteen. On the way I washed my face again. As my luck would have it, something was wrong with the tap. My whole front got wet. Well I really didn't care about it that much, but when all the fan girls around started giggling, I realized it was a prank.

While walking towards the canteen I saw Itachi storm out of the canteen. He raised an eyebrow when he saw me, but kept walking.

By the time I had entered the canteen, my head was threatening to burst. What didn't help was the pink haired girl sitting there.

Remembering that I had decided to apologize to her, I made my way towards the table. I sat next to her, expecting an outburst or explosion and god knows what. But what surprised me was that she was sitting still. She looked shocked and that couldn't be because of me, because I had just entered, or was it?

(Sakura's P.O.V.)

I wasn't actually upset. Neither was I shocked.

I was plain angry.

How dare Itachi blame me like that? He really was his brother's brother. And what made him think that I wanted to talk to him? He really made me sick.

Now what I didn't notice was that his brother was sitting in front of me. I was too occupied to even notice.

"Ahem."

That was enough to bring me back to reality.

After everything that had happened, it didn't surprise me that Sasuke was sitting in front of me. Instead, its what he said that surprised me.

"I don't have time for much drama so I will just say it straight. I know what I did was wrong, and maybe too much, so I am sorry. Don't read too much into it, and this apology doesn't mean I like you any more than I like my shoes."

Saying that he leaned back on his seat and closed his eyes. His whole front was wet. His tee was sticking to his toned chest. I didn't even realize I was staring and when I did, I didn't notice the blush creeping in on my face. Snatching my eyes away from his chest, I started eating.

There really wasn't anything I could say to him. I know I should say 'its okay' or something like that, but it wasn't okay. His apology might be accepted, but I wasn't about to hero worship him any soon.

Sasuke rested his head on his palm, his elbow on the table. He opened his eyes and looked at me.

I thought he was going to say something, but he didn't. He got up and walked away. Somewhere, I had the feeling that he was waiting for me to say something.

I suddenly remembered about the note he had given me earlier. Since he had already left, I couldn't ask him now. So I just ignored it.

Realizing that lunch about to be finished, I went out of the canteen.

I know I am unlucky. But who knew I was soo unlucky? As soon as I stepped out, it started raining.

With a gasp, I ran towards the main building. By the time I was inside, I was sopping wet. A little consolation was the fact that I wasn't the only one drenched.

My next class was Biology, and I would surely be late if I didn't run. I quickly made my way towards my locker, and took the necessary books. While running towards my classroom, I had a few accidents. I slipped and fell; I bumped into someone (pray to god it isn't Itachi); and almost tore my shoes off.

When I reached the class, I saw many students were dripping wet. Many even liked the excuse of wearing almost transparent clothes.

I went and sat at the last bench, which was by the window. The seat by my side was empty.

Sitting by the window didn't seem such a good idea when the cold air entered and raindrops fell on my desk. I closed the window and took out my bio books waiting for the teacher to come in. I saw what the first chapter was. Of course. It had to be reproduction.

No one wanted to sit next to me and so my seat remained empty. Our Biology teacher was Anko Mitarashi. She entered the classroom and everyone fell silent instantly. She had a spiky ponytail. Her hair was dark violet.

Sasuke entered two seconds after she entered. The teacher gave him a look that clearly said, ' You are late again'.

I suddenly realized that all the seats in the classroom were occupied, except…

(Sasuke' s P.O.V)

I went and sat next to Sakura. It was the only seat empty, so it wasn't as if I had any choice. Apparently, she was ignoring me. The whole class she pretended as if I wasn't there. So my apology didn't work. Whatever. Doesn't matter to me.

Our lecture today was on reproduction, so there was a lot of giggling from the girls and a lot of whistling from the boys.

Although I had said earlier that it didn't matter to me whether she ignored me or not, it actually did annoy me. I had freaking apologized to her. Why was she behaving in such a way?

So I kept on passing notes to her. Some said 'I am sorry' and some said 'stop being a jerk' but she just read them and returned them.

Finally the bell rang and everyone started gathering his or her things. I wanted to talk to Ino about her behavior earlier but she had bunked the class. I took my time to pack my things and by two minutes, Sakura and I were the only ones in the class. I got up and waited for her to pack up her things.

"Why are you ignoring me? I apologized already and I normally don't accept no for an answer."

"Fine. Apology accepted. Now leave me alone." Saying that, she stood up and was about to leave when I caught hold of her elbow and pulled her. She crashed onto me I stumbled backwards a little. She started twisting her elbow but I didn't let go.

"Listen, I know you are angry and upset. But I already said sorry. I messed with you in the morning and I am not apologizing for that because I don't want to. I am apologizing for what happened in the classroom. I know it was too much and I really didn't want to do that okay? I got a bit carried away. Now no one knew it was yours and no harm done so stop being so rude." I said all that in a breath and at that moment, the knot in my stomach truly went away.

Our faces were inches apart and we were staring at each other right in the eye. I expected her to say something but she didn't. We just kept staring at each other.

Our heads starting moving closer. The distance between our lips lessened. Three centimeters. Two centimeters. Zero point five centimeters…

Our lips met and instantly her hands gripped my hair. My hands automatically wrapped themselves around her waist.

Her lips were sweet. It wasn't bland like Ino's. It somewhat tasted like strawberry. Maybe that was her lip gloss.

We started moving backwards and my back hit the wall. We turned around and this time, I was over Sakura and her back was against the wall. I bit her lower lip asking her to open her mouth and she did. Our tongues wrestled for dominion and her hands were pushing my face onto hers.

Need for oxygen made us part. The moment our lips separated, she opened her eyes. They were red.

She ran away from there and I was sure I saw a tear.

I was still panting. I leaned against the wall and slid down. I closed my eyes for a moment and felt exhausted. I realized I didn't want to end that kiss. I felt a little guilty about that but this time, there was no knot in my stomach.

My next class was P.E. and it normally started a little late because of the extra time the girls needed to change.

I got up and picked up my bag, which had fallen down. I picked it up and saw another bag lying nearby. Someone had forgotten their bag in their hurry and now I had to return it. What the hell….

A/N: (ducks chair) If any readers are still left after the loooong break, umm sorry. Exams are to be blamed. Sorry again for the sudden change in plot, but I didn't want Sasuke to be portrayed like a devil…. someone else will make up for it…Heheheh. Annndd please, ignore the mistakes…

So that's all for now.

With regards,
