Sakura couldn't believe it, in front of her, next to her class teacher, Kakashi, was actually ...

"... Sasuke ...", she mumbled incredulously to herself.

He just nodded and looked at her with unusually cold eyes. He had stopped grinning and just looked over at her without emotion.
"Sakura, you are too late!", Kakashi said and looked at her with a warning look.
"That's what YOU say? Why are you here so 'early'?"
"Um ...", Kakashi cleared his throat, embarrassed, but then he composed himself again.
"Please sit down first ... Sakura.", Said the gray-haired man and pointed to her place.
Sakura sighed and went grumbling to her seat.

When she was seated, Kakashi started talking:
"As I said: Today we can welcome a new student in our class. This is Sasuke Uchiha and he is the heir of the Uchiha companies.", Kakashi continued. Sakura, who had just taken out her school supplies, stopped moving and looked at her class teacher with slightly open mouth.Most of the girls in her class looked longingly at the Uchiha and sighed again and again in love.
// Well, now they'll all ingratiate themselves with him ... just like with me ... and that's just because we're not the poorest ... well, at least I'll get them off my neck //, Sakura thought and had to chuckle at the thought. She felt sorry for Sasuke already. The girls in her class were pretty dogged about the boy thing, and they wouldn't let up until Sasuke went out with each of them.
He would surely like that too, as she knew him better.

"Please sit down there ...", Kakashi said to Sasuke and pointed to the free space in front of Sakura.
The Haruno sighed.
// Poor Sasuke ... hehe // thought Sakura gleefully.
The Uchiha sat down.
Sakura had to grin again, because next to Sasuke was Akira who was already talking to him:
"Ah Sasuke-kun? I can call you that? Do you have plans for today?Shall we do something together? You don't have a girlfriend yet, do you? Oh, that wouldn't matter ... In any case ... "

Sakura just shook her head and tried to concentrate on what Kakashi was writing on the board ... some math formulas ...
In any case, nothing that Sakura understood. She looked at Sasuke, who was also trying to concentrate on the lesson. But only looked annoyed because Akira was still chatting him up without taking a single breath!
"How does she do that?", Sakura wondered quietly, but there was an ironic undertone in her voice.

When the doorbell rang for a short break, all the girls in the class were already scrambling around the little table behind which Sasuke was sitting. Almost all. Only Sakura was still sitting in her seat and copying something from the blackboard. She sighed again. She would probably never understand math.
Sasuke sat annoyed on his chair during dinner and let all the annoying questions of the girls go through.When she finished, Sakura looked up at Sasuke and rolled her eyes.
//Serves him right! He could just say something instead of just sitting there quietly and nodding occasionally ...! //

"Hey Sasuke-kun ... is it true that you know Haruno ..." asked a girl from her class.
Sakura pricked up his ears and was curious how Sasuke would answer.
Would he admit it? Or would he deny it. Actually, they didn't really know each other at all. Although they almost kissed ...
Sakura blushed at the thought and looked thoughtfully at the back of Sasuke's head.
Did she want to kiss him because of the influence of alcohol, or would she have done it sober too?
Sakura didn't know.
Sasuke opened his mouth to start answering and Sakura looked up again curiously.

Suddenly, Anko-sensei entered the class and everyone quickly got to their seats. Only Akira stood curiously in front of Sasuke and looked at him expectantly.
Sasuke closed his mouth again and shrugged, which was apparently the answer.Sakura had really expected everything, but not that. Haruno decided to talk to the Uchiha once to clarify the situation.

Now Akira gave up and sat down next to the Uchiha again.
Sakura sighed and then looked at her teacher, who was impatiently standing at the blackboard.
"CALM!", She called and oh wonder everything went quiet.

After an hour of English with Anko, which seemed like an eternity to Sakura, they had a break.
Everyone flocked to the cafeteria. And even now the girls from Sakura's class did not give up and all romped around Sasuke.
Sakura sighed, because she actually wanted to talk to him, but now she could forget.
She went to the food counter and got a tray of food. Then she sat down at an empty table and ate a sandwich with relish. She didn't hope that anyone would get lost at her table, because no one else would sit next to her.
She also had no one to join her.She didn't really know anyone here, at her school.
She had no friends ... here.

Sakura had to smile. Had she really made friends in Hinata and Ino?
//Yes ... //, just give a lot to you.
Finally after years she had friends ... But she had to be careful. What if they were just like everyone else who pretended to be their friends?
But Sakura was confident. It just had to be true!


She only got half of the rest of the school day and before she knew it, the school bell rang at the end of school.
Many in her class jumped up, quickly packed up their things and then disappeared. Others took their time and chatted with their friends on the side before they also left the classroom.
Sakura, however, just sat there and looked at her desk in front of her.

Suddenly she saw someone prop his hands on the small table in front of her and lean down a little.
"Sakura?"she heard a deep, cool voice say.
As a result, she startled and looked straight into two black eyes. She almost fell off the chair in shock, but was able to hold on at the last moment.
"You scared me, Sasuke!", She smiled foolishly. Then she looked around a little. Nobody was there anymore. You were alone ...

// How did he get rid of those annoying girls? //, Sakura asked himself in his head and was about to answer this question when he came before her with another question:
"What are you doing today?"
"I don't know ..." she said and leaned back in the chair, because she felt pressured by his sheer closeness, "... I'll probably go shopping afterwards because I need new school supplies ... and after that to the library because I urgently need to practice math, next week Monday we will already be writing the work ... ", she sighed loudly, about the fact that she was really a zero in math.
"I could give you some tutoring ... in math ..." he said, leaning further down to her."You?", She sounded really a bit surprised and then stood up laughing, took her school bag and packed her things into it.
"Do you think I couldn't do that. Do you think I am stupid and could just celebrate and drink?" He asked and looked at her mock insulted.
"No ... but ... well, I don't really know ..." she said and looked like she was thinking. She clutched her bag with her hands.
"Then think about it ...", he leaned over and breathed a kiss on her cheek, then disappeared from the room.
Sakura had clawed her fingers into the fabric of the bag and was now nervous about her lower lip.
"Tutoring ?! Pah!", Sakura mumbled and made a slightly sour face.
// As if he was only thinking of tutoring! Although ... I really need tutoring in maths! What should I do? //, The pink-haired woman sighed again, finally took her bag and then also disappeared from the classroom.

Meanwhile at Ino:Ok i do it! ", the blonde said, encouraging herself and slowly wandered her finger in the direction of the bell.
"Oh God, I can't do that!", She continued and quickly withdrew her hand.
Now she had been standing here for a quarter of an hour in front of Shikamaru's apartment and still hadn't dared to ring the doorbell.
Ino was about to turn around to leave when she suddenly heard a loud bang, the door was thrown open and an angry Temari stepped outside.
"Then get off to that blonde bitch!", She yelled at Shikamaru, who had now stepped into the door frame, at the top of her throat.
Ino just stood there puzzled and watched the spectacle that was on her in surprise.

Temari already had tears in his eyes, but Shikamaru just stood there silently and looked out of the corner of his eye to Ino, then back to Temari, who just snorted angrily, looked briefly at Ino and then back to the brown-haired man.
"Well, as you like! Then it's over between us," she continued to shout and now isolated tears were running down her cheeks.She turned around and was about to run when Shikamaru raised his voice and turned to her:
"What should be over? There was never anything between us!" He said without a hint of anger or pity, with the weeping Temari.
The addressed turned around again and looked again at Shikamaru, who saw a sad smile on her lips.
"So you see what was between us ... as nothing !?", and with these words she simply ran away,
Without a goal, without love ...
