ScrewedUpWorld, A SasuSaku Fanfic.
Rated T.

Summary:
In a world where Sasuke wasn't cool and cold, where Sakura was the stoic Ice Queen, Naruto and Hinata the richest, most popular power couple in the school and where Ino and Karin are actually the nice, timid girls in the scene, how do things turn out?
I do not own Naruto.
Chapter 2: A New Rival, A New Friend.
"Damn it, Naruto." I cursed.
"C'mon, maybe you didn't really have to answer back, y'know." He said. We held our lunch trays and sat down.
"Naruto, you of all people should know that I'm a bitch to jerks." I munched on my tomato.
Weird addiction, dude.
'It tastes delicious, mind you.'
"True, true. You're a bitch, and Sakura's a jerk. Perfect combo." He then took into his mouth his beloved beef ramen.
"Ha-ha. Very funny." I rolled my eyes.
"Hey, but dude, give Sakura a chance. She's an awesome girl. She's just really…"
"Really bitchy to strangers?" I finished his sentence.
"More like being careful." A female voice said. I turned and saw Sakura with the rest of the gang. "Hey, Naruto, since when was this loser allowed on the popular kids' table?"
I sent her a death glare.
"Sakura-chan, Sasuke belongs to our group. He's our friend, so he can sit here." Naruto grinned.
"Y-yeah, Saku-chan. Sasuke-kun's part of the group. He just left, and now he's back." Ino added. Gotta love this girl.
You like her?
'No fuckin' way. Best friends.'
"He left. I came in. Your slot's filled in, now shoo and look for some other friends." Sakura said.
That hurt.
"Okay, princess," I stood up. As seen on the looks on the faces of my friends, oh, they know what's coming.
It's Sasuke's ultimate bitch mode, baby.
"I see you're a little bit disappointed that I'm back." I stood up, so I was face to face with her.
Well, not really. I was taller (hell yeah for that).
"Well I am." She answered, setting her lunch tray down.
"Okay. Since I am the original one, I'd rather that I stay here." I said with a calm, as-a-matter-of-fact look that seemed to piss her of.
Score one.
"But since I know I am way kinder and way better than you in all aspects, and I have no intention of fighting you, as that is a sign of stepping down to a lower level, I shall leave the group." I said, picking up my tray.
"H-hey, Sasuke—" Naruto said.
"I do not want to stoop down to your level." I said, turning my head to look at the pinkette. "Call yourself popular, a model, whatever, but acting that way just because I mocked you, which, by the way, was the cause of your rudeness, is a sign of childishness and being a brat. Now excuse me, I'd rather be mature and leave my former spot to you."
"Sasuke, wait!" Naruto said. I was already walking away looking for an empty table.
"Save it, Naruto." I say. I find an empty table and sit there and try to eat silently despite the gasps and glares that were happening around me.
You officially lost your chances of hooking a girl.
'And friends.'
You idiot.
'Well, if I was meant to be a loser, I will be a loser.'

I went back inside the classroom as soon as I finished eating. I sat on my usual seat and just popped my earphones in to calm me down. I looked down my iPhone and chose to play a song that never fails to calm me down.
Mayonaka no Orchestra.
'Aqua Timez. Great song.'
Yeah. Awesome. Why not cover that?
'Meh. Too lazy.'
C'mon, fans would love it.
'Come to think of it, I haven't updated my YouTube account for a while.'
"Hey, dude."
I took out one of my earphones and looked up at the guy who just called me. He had white hair and golden eyes.
"What?" I asked.
"Saw what you did to Sakura." He said, taking a seat beside me. I swallowed, preparing for what he would say.
"And?" I asked, trying not to be so obvious.
"Cool, man. Cool." He grinned. I let out a small sigh of relief. I paused the song on my iPhone and faced him.
"Well, you can't be liked by everyone." I told him and shrugged.
"But how 'ya gonna live being his class partner?" He brought up.
Whoopsie, forgot about that.
"Oh shit." I replied.
"Well, tell 'ya what. Imma be your friend. We can hang out." He said as he patted my back.
"Thanks, man." I said, bumping his fist.
"By the way, name's Suigetsu. Suigetsu Hozuki." He introduced.
"Suigetsu Hozuki? As in, the gold medalist for last year's Fire Country Swimming Games?" I asked, kind of surprised.
"Yeps yeps, that's me." He grinned.
"Wait, wait. Aren't you afraid of being public enemy number two by befriending me?" I asked, suddenly concerned.
"Nah. Love me, hate me, they can't touch me." He smirked. "I'm one of the school's pride, so touch me, hello detention."
"Nice one." I said. "Thanks."
"Nah, it's nothing." Suigetsu shrugged. "You know, this popularity shit's actually, well, shit. I want to be your friend 'cause, besides knowing you'll be bullied a lot because of what you did, you got spunk. And courage. And balls."
"Yeah." I said lamely, remembering the little moment a while ago. "But my friends would probably hate me for the rest of my life."
"Friends?" Suigetsu asked.
"Yeah. Naruto, Hinata, Ino… They're my friends. Best friends actually." My shoulders droop down as I stared at my iPhone. "You see, I studied here since elementary. I just left for Oto City five years ago due to a… family affair. Now I'm back to see my spot get replaced by the pink haired model I was crushing on before she opened her mouth."
"Interesting life." Suigetsu said. "Don't worry man. It's a new life. New friends, and I'm gonna be one of those new friends."
"Thanks a lot, dude." I smiled. "I really, really appreciate it."
"Coolio, dude." Suigetsu grinned.
"By the way, I'm Sasuke Uchiha." I introduced myself.
"Yeah." He chuckled. "Gossip here spreads real fast."
"Good to know I'm popular." I said sarcastically.

Classes began and ended quickly. C'mon, Biology and Intermediate Algebra are easy subjects. Lunchtime went by fast, too. Suigetsu and I sat with his friends Juugo, a senior, and, surprisingly, Karin. They were actually a couple. Karin said that she wasn't really close to Sakura, but she was real close to Ino. But we never talked about anything more than that. We shared interests, hobbies and stuff. Suigetsu, Karin and I walked back for our English Language class. After that was Gym class, but the teacher was absent, so it was free period. Karin, Suigetsu and I hung out the whole period.
Naruto and I never talked. Our eyes would meet occasionally, though. He'd always look like he's about to say something, but I quickly look another direction. Ino and I would meet eyes, too. She'd look at me with eyes saying "I am so sorry," but I just look away. Today's just my first day and I've been through a lot already.
"C'mon, man. Let me give you a ride home." Suigetsu said as we walked to the parking. Karin left with Ino already.
"Nah, I'd be fine walking." I said. Really, we just met. It's also embarrassing.
"Yeah, and probably get mobbed by Sakura's fans? Or paparazzi? I don't think so." He said as-a-matter-of-factly while searching for his car keys in his pockets.
"Paparazzi?" I asked.
"Believe me, people here are insane Twits. Whatever gossip they get, they tweet. And update k-a-gossips. com."
"K-a-gossips. com?" Okay, I never remembered my school getting this weird.
"It's a website that holds all the school's latest news, activities and gossip. Teachers, students, janitors… You name it, they got it." He pressed a button on his key that unlocked his silver Honda Civic.
"Never remembered my school getting this whack since I left." I said, getting in Suigetsu's car.
"Well, it started four years ago." He shrugged. I took the shotgun seat. "Admin's still unknown. Probably those little computer geeks that work for some jocks and queen bees here."
Suigetsu drove out of the school's gate. He started to play music coming from his iPod, connected to his radio. Sky Sailing's "Brielle" started playing.
"You like Owl City?" I asked, knowing Owl City and Sky Sailing is just one artist.
"Yeah. Makes my drives smooth and relaxing. Relieves stress."
"True." I imagined playing on guitar the sweet melody of the song.
"Where do you live, man?" He asked as he stopped because of the stoplight.
"Honey Acres, the one behind Konoha park." I said.
"Really? I live there." Suigetsu chuckled. He started driving once the green light flashed.
"Sweet. I'm on Mangrove Drive." I said as Suigetsu made a right turn.
"Two blocks away. Sycamore Street." He replied.
"Awesome, man. Real cool." I said, real happy that I made a friend, despite all the shit that's happened.
Aww, gotta love Suigetsu.
Yeah, told ya this is a screwed up world (~^,^)~
Hope ya'll liked!
XOXO,
KiiroIka.
