Hi, I'm Sasuke Uchiha

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

Sasuke Uchiha wants to get to know me? Why? I am so not worth it. Right?

"Wait, wait, wait. So let me get this straight," I put my hands on my hips, "You, THE Sasuke Uchiha, want to get to know ME, Sakura Haruno?" I raise an eyebrow.

He rolls his eyes, and keeps his hand held out, "Shake my hand, Sakura."

I hesitate, and shake his hand. He makes me sit down in my seat, by pulling my hand down with his.

"B-but how about tutoring me?" I ask.

"We can let this one day slide." Sasuke says.

"Okay, so what do you want to know."

"About you." He says.

"Well duh. But why do you want to know about me?"

"What do you think?"

"Ummmm because we connected on the internet?" I ask, tapping my finger on the desk.

"Bingo." He says.

A ding goes off, and Sasuke grabs his phone from his pocket. He unlocks it, and looks at the screen. He looks up at me, and I wait for him to talk.

"I have to go." He says getting up from his seat.

"What?" I ask getting up with him.

"Yeah, sorry. I have plans with my friends." Sasuke says.

"But how about Kurenai-Sensei?"

"Just tell her we finished early." He says, heading towards the door.

"So much for getting to know each other." I mumble under my breath.

He looks back at me, smirks, then leaves the room. I sigh, and as if on cue, Kurenai-Sensei walks in. She turns her head towards Sasuke, then looks at me.

"I came to check on you two. Why are you guys leaving so early?" She asks.

"Uhh- Don't worry, he's gonna tutor me next week as well." I say, while scratching the back of my head.

"Okay. Did you learn anything?"

Why yes Kurenai-Sensei, I learned that Sasuke Uchiha wants to learn about me...

"Uhh yeah." I say, smiling an innocent smile.

"Good. I hope it shows on the upcoming exams."

I nod my head, and leave the room. Once I walk through the school doors, I go into the school parking lot. I slightly turn my head, and Sasuke and his friends are talking next to their expensive cars. I try to walk faster, to ignore them..... Until....

"Hi Sakura!" An obnoxious, blonde yells.

I slightly turn towards them, and wave my hand in a hello. Naruto walks towards me, and I hold my breath. He gets closer and closer, and I stare down at my shoes.

"So." Naruto says loudly.

I look up at him, and he has his hands on the back of his head, and has that goofy grin of his.

"We've been talking about you." Naruto says.

"Really?" I ask, in a cool way.

"Yeah. We know you're Sakura Blossom by the way."

I chuckle, "I would guess so, because you three WERE hiding behind a bush." I smirk.

His posture changes, and he just shrugs, "Y-yeah, y'know... We were walking through the park-"

"It's fine." I say cutting him off.

An awkwark silence occurs, and I am determined to stop it.

"I'm gonna go-"

"Wanna hang out with us?" Naruto cuts me off.

"I can't-"

"Great!" He cuts me off, and grabs my arm.

He leads me towards his group of friends which consists of Neji Hyuga, Shikamaru Nara, and of course..... Sasuke Uchiha.

"Guys, this is Sakura Haruno." Naruto says, while I awkwardly stand.

"Yeah, we know who she is." Shikamaru says lazily.

"It was nice meeting you guys, but I think I'll go." I say, getting ready to leave.

"Nah, I bet Sasuke wouldn't mind if you stayed." Neji says.

"Yeah Sakura, we were planning on hanging out at the mall. Shikamaru and Neji's girlfriends are gonna meet us there. You wanna come?" Naruto asks.

"I don't wanna intrude."

"You can come. Right guys?" Naruto asks his friends.

They nod their heads, and I'm stuck between going and not going. If I go, I could make new friends, but if I don't go, I can study for my math test.

"Yeah, I'll go." I smile.

"Great. You can ride with Sasuke." Neji smirks.

Oh great. Sasuke gets into his car, and I walk slowly to the passenger side. Once I get into his car, I glace at Sasuke. There's so many questions I wanna ask him, but now isn't the right time. I push the though aside, and grab my phone from my back pocket. I need to text my mom.

Me: Hey Mom. I'm going with some friends to the mall. Is that okay?

Mom: Of course. Just be home by 6.

I smile, and put my phone down on my lap. Looking out the window, I decide to break the awkward silence between Sasuke and I.

"I told Kurenai-Sensei you would tutor me next week," I turn to Sasuke, "Is that okay?"

He nods his head in reply, and I wince at his response. I don't understand why he's being so anti-social around me now. He was ready to talk up a storm in Kurenai-Sensei's class. Why not now? Knowing me, of course I would have to confront him about it.

"Is there anything you wanna talk about?" I ask.

He shakes his head, and I grit my teeth.

"Is there a reason why you aren't talking to me?"

Another shake.

"Stop the car. I'm leaving." I demand.

"What the hell?! I'm not gonna make you walk home from here." Sasuke says, glancing at me.

I smirk, "That's what I thought. And if we're gonna be friends, I wanna be treated as an equal."

He side glances at me, and tightens his grip on the steering wheel. What is his problem?

"Friends?" He asks, raising an eyebrow.

"Yeah, friends." I clarify, "Would you like me to look up the definition?"

His grip looses, and he chuckles.

We get into the parking lot, and I quickly get out of Sasuke's car. I breathe out a breathe of relief. That car ride was just too awkward.

"Ino just texted me, she's waiting inside." Shikamaru says, walking towards the door.

"I-Ino Yamanaka?" I ask, with my eyes wide.

It's not that I hate Ino Yamanaka. It's just how popular and beautiful she is. Call her the queen of the world if you must.

"Yup. Ino Yamanaka. Shika's girl." Naruto states, slinging his arm around my shoulder.

I tense up, and side glance at him. He's trying to hard. I glance at Sasuke, and his expression is completely blank. I move Naruto's arm off my shoulders.

"Not today, buddy." I say playfully.

He chuckles, and we walk into the mall. Once we walk in, sitting on a bench, are the most popular girls in school.

"Hi Shika!" Ino screams, and hugs Shikamaru tightly.

"TenTen." Neji says.

She looks up from her phone, and waves her hand to come to her. Sitting by TenTen is who I know to be Hinata Hyuga. I think that's Neji's cousin.

"Hinata!" Naruto yells, walking towards her.

She immedietly begins to blush, and I smile. She is so in love with him.

"Who's this?" Ino asks, holding Shikamaru by the waist, while he has his arm slung across her shoulders.

I smile shyly, and respond, "I-I'm Sakura Haruno.... From school."

"Ooooh I've noticed you!" Ino says, walking towards me.

She looks down at my clothes, and smiles brightly.

"It's a god thing we're at the mall, 'cause girl, you need some new clothes."

I smile innocently at her, and she grabs my hand, "Rue 21, here we come!" She squeaks.

I glance behind me, and Shikamaru is smirking. I guess he really likes Ino. They are quite a cute couple.

We walk into the bold store, and I already feel intimidated by all these people. They're so pretty and unique in here. I definetly don't fit in.

"Uhh I don't have any money, and this really isn't my style." I say awkwardly.

"There are many styles in this store, Sakura. I already know your style just by looking at you." She says.

"But I have no-"

"Stop," She cuts me off, putting her hand up as a stop sign, "I have money."

"Ha no," I respond, putting my hand up like her, "You are NOT going to pay for me. I have three bucks, it's cool."

"Y'know what three bucks will get ya?" She asks.

I shrug my shoulders, and she continues, "A trip to the candy machines. Now let me pay for you."

"No."

"Yes."

"No."

"I don't mind."

"Well I do."

"I just met you."

"I'm just that nice."

"No."

"Yes! Let me buy you one thing, and I'll shut up." Ino offers.

"Fine, but only one thing." I tell her.

I walk around the store, and spot a nail polish area. I find an emerald green nail polish, and I pick it up. Ino's looking at some clothes, and I hand her the nail polish.

"Buy me this." I say like a spoiled kid. 

"Ugh, you're hopeless." Ino says, then pays for it.

I swing my tiny bag around, while we walk around looking for the rest.

"You aren't noticed at school, are you?" Ino asks out of nowhere.

"How could you tell." I state sarcastically.

"Well for one, you seemed scared to meet me."

"I admit that. You are the most popular girl in school, after all. And I'm just...." I trail off sadly.

Ino stops, and puts her hands on my shoulders, and stares at me.

"You're one of us now. No need to feel alone." Ino insists.

One of them........

"But I'm not... I don't fit in." I respond truthfully.

"Well now you do." Ino says.

I stare at her for a moment, then smile. I'm one of them.... I'm one of them.... I'M ONE OF THEM!

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

"I'm gonna go into one of these CD stores." I tell Ino.

She nods, and goes into the store next to the CD store. I look through the CD's of my favorite bands, and feel a presence next to me. I don't bother to look next to me, and keep looking. I spot a Nirvana CD, and smile. Too bad it's not three bucks...

"Nirvana, huh?"

I widen my eyes, and look to my left. Sasuke is also flipping through CD's, not even looking at me. I look back at the CD in my hand, and look at the songs on the back cover.

"Uhh yeah." I answer, and put it back.

I walk towards the gum ball machine in the CD store, and smirk. I have an extra quarter, so this is my lucky day. I take out the quarter, and put it in the slot, then turn the nozzle.

"Really? Gumballs?" Sasuke asks, and puts his arm hotly on the gumball machine.

I grab the red gumball that came out of the machine, turn towards Sasuke, then bite onto the gumball playfully. He smirks, then puts a quarter in the machine.

"Glad I'm not the only one." He smirks.

A yellow one comes out, and he pops it in his mouth.

"So now I know you like grunge and gumballs. Interesting." Sasuke says.

"And I know..... You like gumballs and sneaking up on people." I respond.

"So far, so good." Sasuke says, "Did you want that Nirvana CD?"

"Well.... Yeah, but when I get the money, I'll buy it." I answer.

"And you're independent." He states.

My phone goes off, and it's from my mom.

Mom: I decided to pick you up from the mall. I can't wait to meet your new friends! I'm parked in front of the doors.

I facepalm myself, and I look at Sasuke.

"My Mom's outfront." I tell him.

"Cool, I'll walk you out." He smirks, heading towards the exit of the CD store.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa." I stop him, by putting my hands on his chest, "You don't want to meet her."

Sasuke pushes me aside gently, and I follow him out the door. I just pray she won't embaress me. I see my mom's car, and she grins at Sasuke and I walking next to each other.

"Mom," I mumble, "You weren't supposed to come here."

She ignores me, and walks towards Sasuke.

"Oh my gosh! You are so handsome." Mom says.

I once again facepalm myself, then glance at Sasuke. He's smirking at me.

"Nice to meet you, Ms. Haruno." Sasuke says.

"It's my pleasure sweet cheeks."

Another facepalm.

"I'm so glad you and my daughter are dating."

"No, no, no, Mom." I stop her, "We're just friends."

She frowns, but smiles again, "Well, we should be going. It was nice meeting you sweet cheeks Sasuke."

Oh geez.

"You too ma'am." Sasuke smirks, then waves to me.

It's offical, my Mom loves to embaress me.
