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 13: Facing the Public—Part 3

It was not long before lunchtime. We had an hour and a half of free period, since Kurenai-sensei was out; another hour and a half for Mathematics. We thought it would be free period, since Asuma-sensei would probably be with Kurenai-sensei, but he got a substitute teacher to be with us.

"Man, I am starving!" Kiba stretched his arms and took a place on his seat. Others followed. I was about to sit when I heard a little yelp behind me. I turned to see some cheesy nachos and chocolate pudding flying toward my face.

"Sasuke!" I heard Sakura call.

Splat.

"Holy shit." I mutter. Cheesy nachos were all over my shoulders and my chest while the chocolate pudding was dripping all over my head.

My hair! My beautiful, beautiful hair!

The canteen erupted into laughter as I felt my face heat up. Sakura stood up, an irritated look plastered on her face.

"Oh my God, Sasuke, I am so sorry." She gritted her teeth. The cafeteria continued to laugh. Sakura's eyes narrowed. "You assholes better stop laughing at him! What would you feel if I spilled cheese and chocolate over your uniform, huh? You people have nothing better to do than laugh at the people whose lives are extremely miserable. Mind your own business and keep your stupid gossip to your self!" Sakura got my tray and placed it on the table. She grabbed my wrist and we started marching off to the swimming pool.

"Sakura, it's okay." I said.

"Shut up! No, it's not!" She growled. "They laughed at you! How can you handle that?"

"Um, I was frozen with embarrasment. I wasn't able to utter a word and just let myself get swallowed into laughter. You call that handling?"

"You're a man, for Kami's sake! Why the hell didn't you utter a comeback or something?"

"Well, apparently, I'm not an ace when it comes to that." I rolled my eyes. "I'm the butt of all jokes, remember?"

We reached the pool and she went inside the girls' locker room. She came out with a towel. We stayed in front of the sinks and showers.

"I can clean myself, really." I gave her a reassuring smile. Her eyes dangerously narrowed as she wet the towel and started to wipe my face.

"Stupid people. Don't know how to mind their own business." She mumbled as she started to wipe my face and hair. She let out an exasperated sigh and looked at me with apology. "Look, I'm really sorry. I really didn't mean to trip and embarrass you in front of the whole canteen, okay?"

I smiled. "I know. It's okay."

I sat down on the floor and sighed. She sat down in front of me and continued to wipe off chocolate off my hair.

"You look like a total idiot." Sakura immediately laughed.

"H-hey! It's your fault!" I pout. She continued to laugh at me.

"You are so adorable!" She squealed. Sakura Haruno squealed and called me adorable!

"I am not adorable!" I huffed. "I am handsome. I am a man, for God's sake! A man!" Pretty soon I joined her. We started to laugh. We didn't know why; we just did. And it felt great.

After a few minutes we started to quiet down, letting small giggles and chuckles escape our lips. The towel was back on my head. I let my eyes get lost in her green ones. My heart jumped when she stared back, her mouth slightly agape. I felt her breath mingle with mine as she moved closer, our noses only centimeters away. My cheeks warmed up as my eyes started to close. I could feel the warmth of her lips near mine. We were going to kiss! A few centimeters closer and—

"Teme! Sakura-chan!"

We immediately pulled back as we heard footsteps towards us. We stared at each other, a bit shocked, and faces extremely red.

"I—"

"Uh—"

"You idiot! There was obviously something going on between these two!" Hinata bonked her boyfriend's head as they materialized beside us.

Damn Naruto! We were about to kiss! KISS!

"N-no, no. It's okay." I grinned. Ino handed me my spare polo, which I kept in her locker.

Well, that's what best friends are for, I guess.

"S-s-sasuke-kun, here's y-your shirt." She smiled shyly. I returned the smile. From the corner of my eye I saw Sakura frown. Trick of light, maybe.

"Well, I'm going to change. Y'all go back to the cafeteria. I'm going to meet you guys there." I grinned, then turned to Sakura. "Thank you, Sakura."

"Hey, it was my fault, okay?" She stood up and straightened her skirt. Her face was impassive.

"Well, fine, it was." I grinned. She flashed me a knowing smirk and they headed back to the cafeteria.

-x-

I walked back to the cafeteria and I noticed some people looking at me. When I looked at them they looked away and started to whisper.

"Don't mind them, Sasuke." Sakura had a hand on my shoulder and a death glare expression at her face. The people staring at me looked scared.

"Yeah, yeah. It's okay!" I smiled. Her expression softened and we headed back to the table.

As I was passing by one of the tables, I couldn't help but overhear a bunch of girls eating lunch and listening to an iPhone on speaker.

They were listening to my voice.

"If it's you and me forever, if it's you and me right now that'd be alright…"

I walked slower and strained my ear to hear them.

"It's been a while since Ekusasuchi posted a song, ne?" The blue-haired girl gushed.

"Oh my God, I know! I really, really miss him!" The girl with the black hair squaled.

"It doesn't help if he keeps covering up his face and hair with shades and a beanie." The girl with yellow hear and pink highlights pouted. The iPhone kept playing my voice.

"You know, it adds to the mystery." The raven-haired girl wiggled her eyebrows. "He's sexy like that." I shuddered.

"What if he's ugly?" The girl with the deep indigo rolled her eyes. "Maybe that's why he's hiding."

"I CAN-NOT BELIEVE YOU!" The blondie shrieked. "It's obvious that his skin's silky smooth. And he just oozes flawlessness."

"I am going to make you listen to all 32 of his covers on repeat for one week straight just to make you love him!" The blue-haired girl started waving her iPhone around.

"What if," the raven-head started, "Ekusasuchi023 is actually a guy from our school?"

"OH MY GOD!" All three of, er, my fans squealed in delight. I walked away.

"What took you so long?" Sakura asked as I sat down on the table. I looked at her and shrugged.

"You know…" I started in a hushed voice. "I think I know what would happen if I revealed that I was Ekusasuchi."

"Will you do it?" Sakura asked, her eyes twinkling with curiosity.

I shook my head.

"I'm keeping low. No way I'm revealing that I'm Ekusasuchi023." I said, my voice not that loud.

Boy, I wish I never said it at all after hearing one of the girls talking about me a while ago let out a squeal. I turned around and saw all three of my fangirls gaping at me, obviously starstruck.

"OH MY GOD, SASUKE UCHIHA IS EKUSASUCHI023?"

LATE UPLOAD. Sorry!

So, OMG. Sasuke's Ekusasuchi023? I DIDN'T FREAKING KNOW THAT!

So yeah. My following updates may be longer and later, since second year Architecture's kinda harder. Kinda. In terms of reasearchwork. So please pray that I survive *sweatdrop*

Oh didja know? I was rummaging through my old computer files since I found my old USB, then I found one of my old, amateur fanfics and I laughed. It's a nice story (SasuSaku-SaiSaku-NaruSaku love triangle) inspired by the show JONAS. Lol. My writing styler definitely improved. Oh well. I'm onsidering revising it, but I have too many on my shoulders. Maybe when things get easier :)

'Til then, friends!
