"Bye, mom! I'm off!" cried a pretty rosette girl as she clambered toward her car with a gigantic suitcase.

"We'll miss you, honey!" returned a middle-aged woman who appeared to be the pink-haired girl's mother. "Be safe in college, okay, Sakura?"

Sakura, already done with shoving the gargantuan suitcase into the back seat, looked over her shoulder to grin at her mom. "Don't worry! I'll be fine," she told her mother, flashing a smile before climbing into the driver's seat. Keys in the ignition, Sakura pulled out a small square-ish device that she always held close: her iPod. She smiled at it before putting the ear-buds on and placing the iPod itself in a safe position where it would stay in balance on the way to the university. As she pulled out of the driveway and headed down the road that took her to the college, Sakura giggled to herself. Finally! She was finally in her first year of medical school after four long years of strenuous work on getting her bachelor's degree. Although she knew that she would have to face at least five more years of college before actually getting herself a position as an assistant in Konoha hospital. Sakura sighed, knowing that the rest of medical college wasn't going to be so easy. As she pulled into the university's parking lot, Sakura thought to herself, "Well, at least I know where I'm going." She grabbed the iPod from out of her car and slammed the door behind her, resuming her ear-buds and her song.

She smiled as the song that played, The Great Escape by BoysLikeGirls, reminded her of her graduation.

Paper bags and plastic hearts

Are all belongings in shopping carts,

It's goodbye, but we got one more night.

Let's get drunk and ride around,

And make peace with an empty town,

We can make it right…

It was right after graduation that she had added this song to her playlist. "Hm…let's see…how exactly did that happen?" Sakura murmured to herself as she began recalling her senior year in high school.

(Flashback)

"WHOO- HOO!"

It was that time of year where new things began and old things were memories, when growing up became everything: Graduation. Everyone had thrown their hats up in the air, blue and white colored the sky. After the celebration, the valedictorian's speech (Sakura's speech), and the hat tossing, everyone was trying to find their friends, making arrangements for further celebrations.

"Sakura!"

The younger looking rosette girl turned around at the call of her name, finding a blond young man and a tall, dark-haired man of the same age that was trailing behind. Sakura smiled at the blond as he pounced her with a giant, bone-crushing hug. "Sakura!" he squealed, his blue eyes gleaming in happiness. "Sakura, I did it! Believe it! I made it out of high school!" The blond waved his diploma for emphasis.

Sakura smiled at him again, only wider this time. "Of course, you did, Naruto!" she spoke encouragingly to the blond boy, "I was expecting you to!" Naruto was Sakura's closest friends. Although he was a real guy sometimes (A/N: We all know what that means!), Sakura had always been very fond of him. Including another boy that Sakura had known since her elementary school days….

"Sakura."

Speak of the devil. Sakura turned around, finding the young man she was just thinking of right behind her. "Hello, Sasuke-kun," Sakura replied to the young man's calling before gazing at him. Although Sakura had seen him a countless number of times, she couldn't help but look at him again in detail. Sasuke had always had a handsome face. It was so easy to look at, the strong chin, the high cheekbones. But what had always interested the pink-haired girl was his hair, raven-dark and rebelliously spiked, the shade of black matching that of his onyx eyes. "Yes, Sasuke-kun? What is it?" she questioned him after Sasuke had called her.

Before the raven-haired man could speak, Naruto interrupted him. "Let's go to a bar, Sakura!" he cried, grinning wildly. In Konoha, after graduation from the Konoha High School, a person was already of drinking age. It wasn't exactly uncommon for everyone who had graduated to head over to a bar for their first drinks.

Sakura, feeling that there wasn't any trouble that would be happening in the future (boy, was she wrong later on), nodded in consent, letting the blond drag her and Sasuke along to whatever bar Naruto deemed good.

Later on, Sakura was going to regret having ever said yes to going to a bar.

Sakura chuckled as she remembered all the events that happened that night when the three of them had gotten stone drunk: they had T.P-ed all of the houses of the teachers that they hated in their high school days, driving around and singing about how much fun they were having, singing The Great Escape. Well, the ones who were singing were just her and Naruto. Sakura laughed when she remembered that Sasuke was the one who fell asleep in the car, absolutely knocked out from the alcohol he had consumed. She remembered how much trouble that the three of them had gotten into when their teachers had found out from their neighbors about the toilet paper and the eggs. Sakura shook her head. "Wow…we were such kids back then…" she thought with a sad smile. 'Sasuke-kun doesn't even talk to me anymore….'

The whole incident from graduation made Sasuke furious at both Naruto and Sakura. Sasuke hadn't spoken a single word to them after that. He had gone to a college in God-knows-where, studying Heaven-knows-what. Naruto and Sakura were the only ones of the trio that had actually kept in touch with each other. Neither one of them had known where the raven-haired man had disappeared to.

"What I would do to actually see Sasuke-kun again…" Sakura murmured sadly as she slowly walked toward the tall, looming buildings that stood in the near distance. "I hope he's doing okay."

"Sakura!" shouted a high-pitched voice.

Sakura, because of the ear-buds in her ear and the blasting music, didn't turn around to the voice that was shouting at her. It wasn't until she had walked a few feet down the university roads toward her college for her morning classes when she had realized there was someone calling her.

Because something hit her square in the back of the head.

Sakura twitched in annoyance. She ripped off her head phones and snapped her head around to look over her shoulder at the person who had dared to chuck something at her head. "What the hell do you— "

The rosette didn't get to finish her sentence however. A bright blonde blur attacked her, sending her off balance for a moment or two, causing her to drop half of her books in her arms. Then she laughed. "Damn it, Ino, what the hell do you want?" Sakura laughed as she found out her assailant's identity.

Ino smiled at her while giving her a crushing hug only a best friend could deliver before releasing her. "I just wanted your attention, forehead!" Ino giggled.

Sakura stifled a groan of exasperation as she began picking up her fallen books. "Well, you've got it, Pig. Now, what the hell do you want?"

"Well," Ino began, "I just heard that the hottie of all hotties has just arrived at our campus!" She squealed girlishly. "Oh, my God, Forehead, you have to see him! He is just the sexiest thing ever!" Ino fanned herself melodramatically for emphasis on her swooning.

Sakura snorted. "Well, the sooner that you help me with my books, the faster I can get to know who the hell you're talking about." She reached for her iPod in the midst of her scattered books.

Instead of helping Sakura like a terrific best friend would, Ino, noticing Sakura's attempt to reach for her iPod, reached it first, plucking it from Sakura's grasp despite her protests. Ino sighed. "You know, Forehead, I swear to God, you pay too much attention to this damn iPod and your fuckin' studies more than you do on your social life. And, more importantly, me."

Sakura rolled her eyes at her friend's crude comment. "Ino, I study because I want to actually do something with my life."

Ino stuck her tongue out at her. "Hmph! At least I know that I'm gettin' a guy," her best friend teased before she dashed away to find another victim.

Sakura sighed and shook her head, adjusting her knapsack and the gigantic books that she carried in her arms. As she placed the ear buds back where they belonged (in other words, in her EARS), Sakura thought about Ino's few words that she had given her. I swear to God, you pay too much attention to this damn iPod and your fuckin' studies more than you do on your social life…at least I know that I'm gettin' a guy! Sakura huffed. That was so not true! She could get a guy just like Ino could! She totally had a fair chance of getting one. 'But… I don't really want anyone right now…' It was semi-true. Sakura didn't really feel anything for anyone anymore. Anyone except a certain tall, dark-haired man by the name of…

"SASUKE!" squealed probably thousands of girls.

Sakura twitched. "They're making fun of me. He's gone…there's not a single trace of him here! Zip! Zilch! Nada!"

But, sadly, Sakura couldn't exactly convince herself of that when she was staring the great Sasuke himself in the face. It all happened very quickly. She had bumped right into him, books flying everywhere, Sakura's knapsack flying off of her shoulder off into the wild sea of the ridiculously large group of fangirls. She cursed, just about to tell whoever this prick was who liked standing in front of people who were deep in their thoughts….but stopped when she saw who exactly it was who stood in front of her, smirking down at her in all his glory.

Sasuke Uchiha. The genius of Konoha. Profile: twenty-four years of age, five feet ten, and still as gorgeous as he ever was. His still rebelliously spiked hair stood up madly with only a few grips of hair hanging by the sides of his face, framing it just right. His onyx orbs stared back at the emerald eyes that belonged to the petite, pink-haired girl, seemingly staring her down.

Sakura's heart thumped in her chest. 'Does he still remember me…?'

"Hn. Watch where you're going, pinky."

The hope in her heart deflated. 'Guess not…' Outloud, the rosette faked a grin and replied, "Oh, sorry. I'll try to be more careful next time." She bent to pick up her fallen textbooks and her knapsack as quickly as possible. Her hands trembled. She stood back up, everything gathered. "Sorry, again!" Sakura giggled. And so, with tears in her eyes and a fake smile on her face, Sakura rushed on to her morning medical classes, not knowing that she had accidentally forgotten her most prized possession.

Sasuke watched as the girl dashed away, apparently late for her next class. "Hn," he scoffed to himself as he concentrated on ignoring the scary fangirls that always seemed to be everywhere. Walking away, Sasuke thought back to the pink-haired girl.

'So, Sakura goes here, huh?' he pondered as he walked in the same direction the girl had taken. Smirk. 'What a coincidence. I wonder if—" Crunch. Sasuke felt something lumpy underneath his foot. "Tch. Annoying. What the hell is it now?" He bent to pick it up. It was a (now) scratched classic iPod with pink ear-buds. Sasuke put the ear-buds up to his ear to hear what song was playing. Smirk. The Great Escape by BoysLikeGirls. 'That brings back a few memories…' Sasuke thought wickedly of his graduation night with his two former friends before holding the iPod correctly and running his thumb along the iPod's touch pad to see who-in-the-world own this freakin' iPod…only to be startled practically to death. 'This is…'

At the top of the screen in small, dark letters read:

iSakura's iPod

Although it wasn't the most creative name for an iPod, it still said enough for Sasuke to know whose iPod it was. 'This is Sakura's iPod…with all her songs…and probably all of her photos and videos in it, too…' Sakura's iPod. Possibly loaded with photos and videos of the past. Before he knew it, Sasuke pocketed the iPod, readjusted his backpack, and walked in the direction of his morning classes.
