Chapter 21: Be Happy

MONDAY

All I've been thinking about the whole weekend is Sasuke. Sasuke, Sasuke, Sasuke! I can't get him out of my mind! The way he makes me smile, the way he doesn't smile fully, but slightly, the way he tries to talk to me, and the way he makes me feel when I'm around him.

Sadly, I'm starting to lose hope. He didn't message me on FaceBook once this weekend. Who could blame him. I confessed that I liked him, but so did he. So why isn't he talking to me. I push the thought out of the way, and watched TV until it was time for me to go.

I told Mom what happened, and she freaked out on me. She had a kitchen knife in her hand while she was dancing around happily, so I had to hesitantly take it away from her. Yep, that Friday night was filled with happy dances.

I glanced at the clock one last time, and it was time for me to go. I gave Mom a kiss on the cheek, and she grabbed my shoulders.

"Talk to him, okay?" She asks.

I nod happily, and make my way towards the door. Turning the knob and opening the wooden door, I notice someone in a knocking position. I widen my eyes when I see Sasuke scratch the back of his neck.

"Beat me to it..." He says.

"Sasuke, what are you doing here?" I ask.

"Thought I'd drive you." He answers, smirking.

I blush, and turn to Mom, "Guess I'm not walking. Bye Mom!"

Then I shut the door quickly, before she could embaress me. I walk with Sasuke down the steps to his car, and breathe a breath of relief, because I know Sasuke wasn't trying to ignore me.

"You could've told me you were coming." I chuckle.

"I like surprising people."

I get in the car, and he starts it right away. Realization hit me, and I close my eyes in agony at what would happen when we get to school.

"You do know everything is going to be ruined for you, right?" I ask.

"What are you talking about?" He asks.

"I'm talking about... Us. It's like one of those cliche' movies, Sasuke. The popular guy meets the loner girl, and they become a happy couple, until the mean head cheerleader comes in and shaves the loner girl's head, and the popular guy ignores the loner girl, and then the loner girl-" I say really fast, until I get cut off.

"Are you seriously saying this right now?" He chuckles.

"Well.... Yeah! It could happen! We are polar opposites. If people see us together, then rumors will spread, and I'll get beat up in an alley by the fan girl army!"

"Woah... You overthink way to much."

"All I'm say is that I will ruin your reputation." I answer.

"I don't even want a reputation, Sakura. Who cares anyway. My friends like you, so it's not that big of a deal."

"Well... You make a point. But I just don't understand why of all the girls in that school, you choose me."

"Like I said, you're different." Sasuke answers.

I blush at the comment.

"I'm not that different. I'm just... Normal."

"And I like normal."

"So you like me?"

"Did you not hear anything I said last night?"

"Well I did, but-"

"I like you, period." He says coldly, but in a way that made my cheeks bright red.

We park into the parking lot at school, and I breathe out nervously. What are people going to say? Oh no, I'm NOT ready for this. I'm going to puke.

"You coming out?" Sasuke asks, raising an eyebrow at me.

I gulp and nod. Getting out slowly, I can already see the first batch of students staring at me, but checking out my figure at the same time. I slowly walk with Sasuke towards the door and everyone is whispering to each other. I'm taken off guard when Sasuke slings his arm around my shoulders. I widen my eyes at his touch, and everyone immedietly gets quiet and stares.

"E-Everyone is staring at us, Sasuke." I whisper.

"They can stare all they want, it's not effecting me."

We walk to the court yard to Sasuke's friends and I see Ino squealing like a dying squirrel. Not to mention, his other friends are staring at us.

"Are you- what- how-?" Ino keeps cutting yourself off.

"It's a miracle." Neji smirks.

"Impressive." Shikamaru responds boredly.

"C-congrats." Hinata studders.

"Yay, now everyone's happy!" TenTen smiles.

I glance at Naruto and he's frowning. I don't understand why he can't look at Hinata the same way he looks at me. She is definetly in love with him. Why so clueless?

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

Math class makes me want to die. She keeps teaching the same lessons over and over again. The thing is, I can't focus on the lesson at hand, but the conversation going on between the two girls who sit behind me.

"Did you see Sasuke walking with that girl?" One girl whispers.

"Yeah, but why that pink-haired freak? She is SO not Sasuke's type." Another one whispers back.

"You get that right. Sasuke's type is cute, not puke." She giggles.

I clench my fists and see Neji shift uncomfortably in his seat out of the corner of my eye.

"I wonder if she hears us." One girl whispers.

"I hope so. She needs to hear what Sasuke wants in a girl-"

"Would you two shut up." Neji whispers coldly to the two girls.

The don't say a word after that and I nod at Neji as a thank you.

After another twenty minutes of boring lessons, the bell rings. I get up, but of course, Kurenai-Sensei just HAS to talk to me after class like usual.

"Sakura, when is Sasuke supposed to tutor you?" She asks.

"Umm, we haven't set up a date yet." I answer.

"Really, because that's the opposite of what I'm hearing."

"W-What?" I studder.

"Sakura, when I told Sasuke to TUTOR you, I didn't mean for him to DATE you." She snaps.

"No, it's not like that-"

"Regardless, I want to see improvement. Got it?" She asks coldly.

"Y-yes, of course."

"Good, now go to lunch."

I nod and quickly leave the classroom.

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

Sasuke and I get to my house from school, and he walks me to my door.

"I bet Kurenai-Sensei thinks I'm using you or something." He scoffs.

"No, she's just talking gibberish." I say.

"Right..."

We get to the front of my door and I unlock it, but keep it closed. I turn to Sasuke.

"So." I say looking up at him.

"So..." He trailes off.

We stare at each other for the longest time, and his face moves closer to mine. I know what's about to come, but don't know how to react.

I quickly give him a hug, "See you tomorrow, bye." I say quickly, and slam the door in his face.

I slide my back down the door, until I'm sitting on the floor. I put my hands on my face and scream into them, aggravated at myself. It's not like I didn't want to kiss him. It's just that I don't know how to kiss. Realization slaps me in the face, when I realize I just screwed up everything. Without thinking, I swing open the door, and see Sasuke starting to pull away slowly.

"Wait!" I scream, waving my hands like a lunatic, while running towards his car. He stops abrumptly and I get to his car window. I knock on the glass lightly, and the window comes down right away.

"I've never done this before, so don't be TOO disappointed." I say quickly.

Without even letting him get one word out, I grab his chin roughly and fit my lips onto his. I hear his hand come off of the staring wheel, and he puts both of his hands on both sides of my face, while he's still sitting in his car.

I break the kiss and look at him, "Did I do that correctly?"

Without hesitating, he pulls me in for another soft kiss, but to my dismay, he pulls away after two minutes.

"I have to go, but I'll see you in the morning." He smirks.

I nod my head, while blushing and he pulls away from the driveway.

Did I just kiss Sasuke Uchiha?!

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

OOOOOOH SNAP! Sasuke stole Sakura's first kiss!

Anyway, I'm thinking of making a new cover for this story, but I'm not very good at it. What I want to do is have a little contest to see who can PM me the best cover! So if you'd like, you can participate in this contest, and PM me the cover you made for this story! The winner gets to have credits and they will be dedicated to the NEXT chapter. If you made a cover, but didn't win, DON'T WORRY! I WILL put your cover on a chapter, and dedicate it to you too! So EVERYONE wins. Because I want a new cover for this story, I won't update the next chapter until I get at least ONE cover from someone. ;D If you need help sending me the link, just PM me and I'll talk you through how to send me the link to the cover. The deadline for sending me a cover is August 7.
