It's been about a week since Sakura stayed over at my house and even though we are still acquaintances I am worried about her. She doesn't eat at school and even though it's none of my business I wonder if she even eats at home. I can tell Hinata is worried about her as well which only adds to my irritation at Uchiha. Maybe it's because me and Sakura aren't friends, but I don't really feel the need to involve myself, even if I don't agree with what Uchiha has done, well I hadn't. When I arrived at school this morning and Hinata had that look of helplessness on her face I had acted without thinking and made both her and Sakura change seats.

I'm sure in the long run it will help Sakura, not being so close to Uchiha but other than that I don't know what I hope to accomplish. All of history Sakura hasn't spoken a word. I told her that in science she would be sitting by me and I'm starting to think that I have signed up for something more tiring than it may be worth.

My thoughts make me chuckle to myself as I wait patiently for Sakura to pack up her bag before we walk in silence to the science wing. I'm sounding more like Shikamaru with each passing day. The more I think about helping Sakura the more frustrated I become. How the hell am I supposed to help someone who doesn't want to be helped? I grab Sakura's wrist gently before entering the classroom, forcing her to stop and look at me.

"Listen I'm trying to be your friend here, but it's really hard when you won't even speak to me. Could you maybe try and meet me half way here?" I try to explain to Sakura.

Sakura looks back at me blankly. At first I think that she's going to pull out of my grasp and walk away but she looks down at the ground instead. "Sorry..." She mumbles quietly a tear running down her cheek.

I don't know why but the single word and the single tear make me feel extremely guilty that I was even frustrated with her in the first place. I sigh and let go of her wrist. "That came out wrong." I say, now agitated with myself for making her cry.

Sakura shakes her head slowly. "It's okay. Can we go?" She asks in the same dull quiet tone she used on Namikaze earlier.

I nod and head into the classroom, making my way to my seat and the girl that sits next to me. I sit down and lean into the girl that sits next to me. "Hey so could you do me a favor?" I ask quietly.

The girl looks at me and raises an eye brow. "Depends on what you want." She responds.

I give her a wolfish smile. "Well Sasuke needs a new partner to sit with." I say slowly. The taste of his name on my lips is like poison but I can't be calling him Uchiha to one of his fan girls, I would never get what I'm after if I took that approach.

Like I predicted, the girls eyes light up and a smile spreads across her face. It's sick how the girls fawn over Uchiha, then again I'm sure this is going to piss him off what I'm about to do.

"My friend here would like to trade her seat next to Sasuke for yours. You interested?" I ask, still smiling at the girl.

She nods frantically and before I know it she has packed up her things and moved to her new seat next to Uchiha. I look up and offer Sakura a grin. "Your new seat." I say gesturing to the now empty seat next to me.

Sakura sits and looks over at me. "He won't be happy with you." She says quietly.

I shrug and smile. "I really could care less and neither should you." I reply in honesty.

Sakura glares at me. "You're not very nice." She says bitterly.

I sigh and lean back in my chair. "Sakura, if you want nice then I'm afraid you have the wrong guy. All you will get from me is honesty no matter how hard it is to swallow." I reply, casting a look over at Sakura who now looks deep in thought.

The bell rings and I start to pull my text book and notebook out of my bag when I hear faintly. "I can live with that."
