Tuesday.

I have been dreading this day. Today's the day I have to see Sasuke at school. I took Mom's advice to heart, and thought a lot about it. Sasuke is just a troubled teen looking for a path. As am I. I just want to talk to him. I want to know him not as the Uchiha prodigy, but as Sasuke. Only as Sasuke.

I decide I wouldn't dress nice today, even though I really don't anyway. I put on a white tanktop with a black, fraily sweater that falls to the middle of my back thigh, jean shorts with a heart buckle, and white flats. I put a strand of my hair to the side of my head, and clip it down. It actually looks really cute. After that, I put on my usual mascara, and black eyeliner. Hey, at least I look presentable.

Mom grabbed coffee with some of her friends, so I'm on my own for breakfast. I didn't even bother doing my math homework last night, so I guess I'll do it this morning. I use a calculator, even though we're not aloud, and speed through my homework.

I look at the clock, and it's definetly time to leave. I grab a granola bar for the walk to school, and leave the house. Of course I locked the door as well.

I put in my ear buds, and listen to music. I walk slowly through the empty streets, and watch the sun come up. It's really a beautiful sight, so I decide to watch a little longer.

"Look out!" I guy yells cautiously.

Headlights are in my field of vision, and I widen my eyes. I'm completely paralyzed, and just stand there. His car jerks to the side, and he successfully goes around me. His  car halts to a stop, and I turn towards me.

"Hey jerk!" I yell walking towards his car, "You're driving on the wrong side of the road idiot!"

A door opens, and the guy steps out.

"I'm sorry." He says.

Oh shit. This is awkward now. It's Naruto.

"It's fine, just watch where you're going next time." I say, and begin walking away.

"Wait." Before I could turn my head around, I feel a grip around my wrist. I look at him, and he looks.... Upset.

"Are you..... And Sasuke......" He asks sadly.

I look down at the ground, and almost feel pity for Naruto. I don't know him, or show any affection towards him, but yet he still likes me? For what? My looks? It's not like my personality is great, so why does he want me to go out with him?

"It's...... Complicated." I answer.

He nods his head sadly, and lets go of my wrist. Naruto begins walking back to his car, and leaves in an instant. I watch his strangely orange car speed away, and sigh. This is just a terrible start of my day.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I put in my locker combination, and feel almost betrayed when I see Kiba talking to some girl. I know we had a fall out yesterday, but it's not like I completely threw away our friendship. I know it sounds like I'm jealous of him possibly getting a girlfriend, but that's not the case at all. I already know what would happen if he got a girlfriend. She would most likely be upset he has a girl best friend, so she'll make him not be friends with me anymore. As much as I love Kiba dearly as a buddy, I want him to be happy with someone, so I won't hold anything against him if he wants to give up friendship for commited relationship. Happiness is all I want and expect for him to have.

Pushing the thought aside, my heart starts beating rapidly, when I see Sasuke. He's leaning against a locker, and literally staring at me. He looks so hot like that. His bangs are brushed to the side of his forehead, and are covering his eyes a bit. He is definetly a drop dead hot bad boy. 

His hotness and popularity intimidates me though. I'm not close to beautiful (Kit_Katzzz: When really she's awesome ^.^) and I'm so unnoticed in school, it's almost offensive.

I just stare at him as he is me, and blood rushes to my cheeks, and it becomes embaressing. Naruto shows up, and stares at me. Oh gosh, this is getting awkward. Naruto looks at Sasuke staring at me, and looks away.

A guy names Shikamaru looks at me, and nudges Sasuke in the shoulders. Sasuke looks at him, and walks away with his small group, but not before giving me one last glance.

I lean my back against the lockers, and breathe out a breath of relief. That was intense. Really intense.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I really hope you all did your homework," Kurenai-sensei begins, "And without a calculator."

I roll my eyes, but luckily she didn't see me.

"Alright, hand up the homework."

I do as told, and get out my crumbled up homework. I'm just praying she can't tell that I didn't show work. Hopefully it's just a completion grade.

She puts word problems up on the board for us to try to figure out on a seperate sheet of paper, and of course, I have no idea what to do. I look towards her desk, and she's talking on the class phone. Once she hangs up, I focus on my work. That is, until some dumb girls start squealing. I look up, and drop my pencil on the floor.

Sasuke.

He walks to Kurenai-sensi's desk, and starts talking to her. He shakes his head about something, and she snaps at him. This is what I hear her say quietly....

"You will do this. This is for college credit." She says.

He just nods his head, and exits the room. Sasuke glances at me, and when he leaves the room, I put my forehead on my desk.

"Ummm I think you dropped this." A guy says.

I look up, and holy crap, it's Neji Hyuga. He's holding a pencil, that must be mine, because it's pink, and it's fluffy. Don't judge me. I knew he was in my class, and he sits by me, but I never expected him to actually be nice and give me my pencil.

"Thanks." I smile at him, and take the pencil from his hand.

He nods his head, and the bell rings. I almost scream in joy, and am so close to the door.

"Haruno." Kurenai-Sensei says.

I stop in my tracks, and go to her desk, "Yes?"

"You used a calculator on your homework, didn't you?" She asks.

Shoot me.

"Uhhh yeah. I was in a rush, I'm sorry." I appoligize.

"That's no excuse to use a calculator." She snaps.

I nod my head in understandment, and she sighs.

"Listen, I know you used to do well in math, due to your records," She begins, "I know your family has been having a rough time, but I know you're better than this."

I look down at my toes, and don't say a word.

"I like you, Sakura, but I know you have the ability to keep up with your grades like you used to."

I nod my head, while still looking down.

"And to help you out, I got you a tutor."

I whip my head up at that statement. I hate tutors. They always hate me for how bad I am at everything.

"Kurenai-Sensei, I don't need a tutor. I promise I'll do better." I say pleadingly.

"You have a D in my class. This is for your own good. Talk to your guardian, and tell them that you need to stay after school today."

I nod my head, because this isn't up for argument.

"Come here after school, and a tutor will be waiting. You're dissmissed." She finishes.

Great. Now I have to deal with getting tutored almost everyday. This day sucks.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After school, I call my Mom and tell her about tutoring, and she doesnt mind. She says it's what's best for me.

I walk to Kurenai-Sensei's door, and breathe out slowly. Okay, I can do this. I grab the door handle, and open the door.

Yeah, I can't do this.

That's right.

My day just became even worse.

My tutor.

Is of course.

Sasuke.

Uchiha.

It's official.

Tuesdays.

Suck.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

UNEDITED!

Cliffhanger!

So, Sasuke is Sakura's tutor. As if the tension wasn't already high enough. Oooooh and how about Naruto? I hate writing about Naruto when he's upset!

Until next chapter.....

Ta Ta :D
