"One of the most amazing feelings in the world is having someone fall in love with you who you thought you never had a chance with.."

~

It has been two months.

I have gotten to know Sakura a little more each passing day. Not like my other fangirls, she's not that "clingy" type. She's the shy one, like Hinata.

Which gives me a liking to teasing her in class.

And more to that, I also discovered that I have a crush on her.

She's sweet and courteous. Thoughtful and honest. But when it comes to pissing her off, get ready for hell.

"Hey, Sasuke?"

"What?"

"Why haven't you made a move on Sakura-chan yet?" Naruto unexpectedly asked.

"What are talking about?" I casually countered as I sat down in my seat.

"Teme! Come on, no use in denying! It's really quite obvious, you know."

Just then, Sakura entered the room. It was 6:00 am. An hour early. So we were technically the only ones here.

"Goodmorning Sasuke-kun! Goodmorning Naruto!" She greeted and sat down.

I glanced at my bestfriend. He gave me that, we're-not-finish look on his face. I smirked.

"Oh! Hey, Sakura-chan! Have you heard the news yet?" The blonde asked

"What news?"

"There will be a new student coming today, and he's from Sunagakure High, too."

He?

"Tsk. Dobe, how on Earth did you got that info?"

"Hehe.. I peeked into Kaka-sensei's daily notes yesterday when I was sent to detention. Anyway, do you know who he is Sakura-chan?"

Said girl just thought deep. "Hm.. I don't actually know. But, I think I have a clue on who he is." She smiled. I scoffed. "Hn."

><><

"Goodmorning class! Sorry I'm late. I-"

"LIAR!" The whole class, once again yelled at our late teacher. Naruto stood up while pointing an accussing finger at him.

"Sensei! You damn pervert! Stop making excuses! I saw you through the window ten minutes ago!! You were reading your evil pervy book while sitting in a tree near the school ga-"

"U-Uh.. I think that's enough Naruto." Our teacher said as he nervously laughed as he kept the dobe's mouth sealed with packing tape..

"Hmph! Mnphd! Hhnmphd!"

"Sorry, I can't hear you Naruto!"

Tsk. Annoying.

"Ahem. So, as I was saying, earlier.. We have a new transfer student who also came from Suna High.. Come in!"  After that, a red headed male entered the room.

He faced the class, then introduced himself. "The name's Gaara." He plainly stated and gave a smirk. The fangirls instantly squealed.

"KYAAA!!!!! HOT ALERT! HOT ALERT!!!"

"DARLING! MARRY ME!!!!"

"OMGEEEEE!!!!! KAWAII!!"

"I THINK I'M GONNA HAVE A HEART ATTACK!!!!"

Hn. Well, at least I got rid of my fangirls. Speaking of which, I secretly glanced at Sakura. Don't tell me that-

"G-Gummy bear!"

Gaara looked at the pinkette. He then, called out. "Cherry Pie!"

Gummy bear?

Cherry Pie?!

What. The. F*ck?!

"Sakura, you know him?" She immediately nodded at my question. Oh kami. I better do something before he- "..He's my ex-boyfriend."

Double f*ck.

Naruto instantly nudge me. "Teme, he's moving fast. You better show him who's boss!" He whispered. How'd he manage to take off that packing tape? Is still a mistery.. I rapidly glanced at their direction. Damn Kakashi just had to let him sit in front of her!

This, is  going to be a long day.

><><

It was breaktime. I decided that, I think it's time to tell her what I feel. I know it's too early for this, but I'm willing to take some chances.

They were sitting on the bleachers in the training field. And laughing. Crap. Is he really her ex-boyfriend?!

I slowly walked towards them. "Excuse me," I started as I caught the two's attention. I semi glared at Gaara. "May I borrow her for a second? ...Since, it is really clear that you don't own her anymore." I murmured the last part to myself. He nodded. Sakura then stood up and followed me.

"So what's up Sasuke-kun?" She asked. We were at the auditorium. Nobody's here during Mondays. I looked at her straight in the eye.

"I just wanna ask you something."

"Okay? So, spit it out."

Here goes nothing.

"How did you and Gaara broke up?"

She stiffened at my sudden question. "Hey, don't you think that's a little too personal, Sasu-kun?"

"Just answer it. Please?"

She sighed. "Sasuke, can't you give me something else to answer? The past is the past, and I think I'm not ready to answer that to you."

I wonder what's up with them?

"Hn. Fine." I looked away and felt the heat crawling up my cheeks as I did so. "So, y-you have no feelings for him anymore.. right?"

"Ah.. no. Hey, where's this heading to Sasu-kun?"

"So, if ever some random guy suit you.. you'd just let him?"

"Depends on the guy, I guess?"

"What about me?"

She instantly jerked her head up to face me. She had a cute blush on her chubby cheeks that makes me want to like her more. "W-What did you just say??"

I took a deep breathe and answered bravely, "Sakura, I like you."

Her eyes grew wide in shock and exclaimed "H-Huh?!"

"Really? Is it that hard to see the obvious? Sakura, why else would I walk you home from school every afternoon and carry your books for you?" I retorted and smirked. She stared at me when realization hit her on the head. Hard.

"B-But, Sasu-kun.. It has just been a couple of months since we've met. I-"

I then placed my index finger on her lips. "Sshh.. that still won't change the fact that, I want you as my girlfriend, okay?" She pushed my hand away.

"F-Fine. But, you're gonna have to earn it first, okay?"

I gladly nodded and pecked her lips. Damn, they're so soft. Makes me want to kiss her again..

She was still in total shock when I decided to do it again. When I pulled away, I whispered in her ear,

"Hn. Sure. But nothing's gonna stop me from making you mine, Haruno."

I was happy to know that she granted me permission to suit her that day..

I felt like the luckiest man on Earth..

Or so I thought.
