RECAP:
Crouching on the ground, she reached for the phone, turning it over as she looked at the cellphone's background, her eyebrows furrowing at the name that was on the creen in bold letters.
"U-chi-ha Sa-su-ke" she mumbled to herself.
She stood up, pondering over the familiar name.
...
...
'I wonder who he is'
Chapter 2: What's up with drunk men and kisses?
"Uchiha Sasuke" She thought as she held the Blackberry firmly to her side along with a white paper bag filled with delicious pastries. She chewed her lip. Ever since she bumped into the handsome looking guy, his name started to pop into her thoughts like the plague.
She stopped in front of the white counter, the big sign of KONOHA HOSPITAL written on the front of the desk.
Smiling politely, she gave the black-haired receptionist her folder.
"I'm done for today, Shizune"
The receptionist smiled back.
"Thanks for the extra work, Sakura" she said gratefully, scratching the back of her head.
"Tsunade's been having another hangover from last night" she laughed nervously, embarrassed for her mentor.
"It's alright, I understand" she assured. Looking on the desk, she noticed that their was something pinned between the pile of folders on her desk.
Shizune looked down to where sakura was staring.
"Oh!" Shizune's eyes lighted up with realization.
"Something wrong?" Sakura quirked an eyebrow.
She shook her head slightly.
"Not exactly" she said.
"I just remembered that Tsunade wanted a volunteer to teach in our Hospital's school for one day" she bent down, shuffling some of the folders and papers on her desk before she grabbed a blue and white brochure.
Holding Sakura's pale hand, she placed the brochure in her palm making her catch a glimpse of the school's name.
Konoha Academy
The elite and private school for future successors.
'Future successors?' Sakura thought curiously.
Looking towards Shizune, she noticed that she held her hands together as if in a silent prayer.
"If it's not too much..." she bit her lip.
"...can you teach a kindergarten class for one day?"
She sighed heavily. It was hard to say no to someone who had to put up with a drunk head doctor.
"Sure"
Taking off her medical coat, she turned her heel and headed for the exit.
"Sakura!" a voice shouted.
Her ears perked up.
"Wha-"
Suddenly, a blonde woman glomped on her from behind, causing her to stumble a bit from the impact.
"Nice phone you got there" a shrilly voice said.
She looked on her right shoulder, only to meet bright blue eyes of her best friend whom she fondly calls 'pig'.
She sighed tiredly.
"It's not mine" she replied, exhausted from all the work given to her as well as the weight settling on her back.
"It belongs to some guy I bumped into earlier"
Ino raised an amused eyebrow.
"Wow" she said.
"Normally men give girls their phone number, not the actual phone"
Sakura wiggled out of Ino's grasp as she pushed her away.
"For your information" she retorted, rubbing her neck to soothe it from Ino's chokehold.
"I found it when I was crossing the street an-"
"You found it?" the blonde screeched causing a few of their patients to look up.
She covered Ino's mouth.
"Be quiet" she whispered harshly, removing her hand slowly as soon as Ino nodded.
"It belongs to a guy named 'Uchiha Sasuke', I think" she shrugged. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Ino gaping at her in disbelief.
"Shut...up" she stated, shock clearly etched on her face.
Sakura raised an eyebrow.
"What's wrong with Uchiha Sasuke?" she asked.
"You...ARE ONE LUCKY BITCH, SAKURA!" she shouted, pointing at her.
She rubbed her arm nervously, embarrassed to be seen with this blonde idiot as more people stared at them.
"Uh-huh"
"So" she raised her eyebrows suggestively. "What do you want to with that really nice phone?" She smiled wildly at the rosette.
"I'm going to return it." She said simply as her friend stared at her, mouth agape.
"ARE YOU CRAZY?" she shouted. "First you find a Blackberry that belongs to an Uchiha! And now you want to return it?" Ino looked at her friend disbelieveingly.
"It's called a good deed Ino" she stated.
Ino pouted, clearly unhappy with her decision.
Sakura sighed but her eyes widened as soon as she glance at her silver watch.
"Look Ino, I really want to stay and chat but I have to go." She headed towards the street and started to walk faster.
Ino raised her eyebrow before running to keep up with her pace.
"Where to?" she asked curiously.
She sighed
"Konoha Academy. I'm going to teach some kids"
Ino wrinkled her nose in distaste.
"Good luck with that one." she said sourly.
She muffled a laugh as she saw the face Ino was making. Walking over, she hugged her blonde best friend.
"I'll see you soon, pig"
"You too, forehead." She smiled.
She waved goodbye, before walking in the other direction.
"But call me when you meet him, OKAY?" Ino screamed.
Sakura smiled slightly as she shook her head. Turning towards a corner, she checked her watch again.
"10 more minutes" She thought.
She walked aimlessly for a while and stopped outside a coffee shop.
'Just for a little while' she smiled inwardly as she stepped inside and smelled the waft of coffee.
It was very warm and comforting when she entered the shop. For her, coffee shops were here haven. Going towards the counter, she ordered a Latte from the barista and said a silent 'thank you' before walking out . Luckily, the school was near the coffee shop, she thought in relief.
Walking slower, she took a sip from her delicious latte as she passed by the town park. Pausing a bit, she caught a glimpse of a young couple getting cozy with each other. For a while, she wondered what it was like to be in a relationship.
She sighed and was about to take a step forward until she felt someone grabbed her from behind.
'Damn it' he punched the nearby wall as he looked down in anger. After the meeting, he couldn't get rid of the thoughts that reminded him of the past. It suffocated him, to say the least and he decided to go outside for some fresh air.
"Why?" he muttered to himself. Up until now, he couldn't get over the death of his wife, Sayaka. She was a loving person who had the brightest green eyes and the silkiest red hair he'd ever seen. She didn't deserve to die at a young age.
He swung the bottle of alcohol in his hand before taking one big gulp out of it. Stumbling a bit, his vision started to blur as he felt the cool stinging liquid in his mouth.
"Sayaka" he closed his eyes in remorse as he threw the bottle behind his shoulder. He was about to go to the other direction and head home until he caught a glimpse of a person standing near the sidewalk.
His eyes widened as he took a step forward. Looking closer, his tears started to well up a bit as he instinctively grabbed her and pushed her to the wall.
Bright green orbs stared back at him in confusion as he descended his lips towards her soft ones, ignoring her muffled cries. Sakura started to panic as his warm hands roamed everywhere, his lips pushing against hers as she felt a bruise form. Huffing a bit, he leaned back, black orbs stared back at her frightened green ones.
"I thought I wouldn't see you again" Sasuke whispered breathily as he placed both hands on her sides.
Her eyes widened as she caught the stench of alcohol.
Putting both hands on his hard chest, she attempted to push him away
"Get away from me, you stupid freak!" she continued to push against his heavy weight, feeling suffocated by his musky scent as he leaned close
"I missed you so much, Sayaka" he said hoarsely as he kissed her again.
Fisting her hands, she pushed harder and felt his lips move away as he stumbled a bit..
"Jerk" She muttered as she wiped her lips.
His eyes widened at her unfamiliar voice as his vision started to clear
"You're not Sayaka." He whispered brokenly.
She bit her lip, feeling sorry at his stricken face.
"My name is Haruno Sakura" she said, pointing to herself. "Not Sayaka"
He smiled crookedly as he looked down. "Of course you're not" he mumbled to himself.
He bowed in apology. "Forgive me"
"Sure Mr..." she trailed off.
Straightening up he smirked and held a hand towards her.
"Uchiha" he stated as Sakura's eyes widened.
"Uchiha Sasuke"
