Just Love What Is

Love is small – too small to be noticed, but in the end it conquers all. In order to get her inheritance, she needs to get her diploma first. But she's failing miserably… that's why a hot stranger is assigned to tutor her.

Ch. 1: Failed Meeting

"If you don't want to go to school," the teacher sighed hopelessly. He really didn't know what he'd do to this girl – she'd been absent for weeks, consecutive weeks. "If you aren't really interested in going to college, then don't ever come back to this school!"

"Okay," was her response as she smiled at her professor, "Thank you, prof."

"What am I gon' do to you, Ms. Yamanaka?" he scratched his head, annoyed with her retort. That wasn't the response he was expecting. He was expecting her to say that she'd changed to a better student. "I am giving up on you. You can't just drop out from school – you will have to need a tutor to help you get through until graduation."

"But you just said if I'm not interested to go to college, then I should have just dropped out!"

"Ms. Yamanaka, just please shut your mouth and listen to me," he breathed in and out. "The school board can't expel you from this school because first, we don't want to disappoint your father. He is expecting you to continue your family's legacy of graduating from this school; and second, we just can't let you ruin your life…"

"But - "

"Shut up, I'm not done yet!" her teacher cut her off. "We assigned you a tutor to help you get through this year – five more months until your graduation."

"I don't need education," she stated. "My family's rich and I needn't to work to live with luxury."

"But didn't your father tell you?"

"Tell me what?" she asked, suspecting she wouldn't love what he was about to say. "What is it?"

"That you're not getting any inheritance – not even a cent – if you didn't get your diploma."

"You're lying," she didn't know what to say. "My father is never going to torture me like that!"

"I don't have any reason to lie to you, Ms. Yamanaka," the professor looked at her in the eyes. "You can look at his will of testament."

She was stunned. Everything was in silent until they heard knocks.

"I'm coming in," they heard through the door.

"Please do," the teacher replied.

A tall, handsome guy with raven-haired entered the room with emotionless face. Ino couldn't help but noticed that the uniform he was wearing was her school's. She never even met this guy.

"Ms. Yamanaka," the teacher called out her attention, "This is Uchiha Sasuke – your new tutor. Please be good to him," he paused and looked at Sasuke, "And Sasuke, please take care of her. I'll leave now."

The teacher left the room. Leaving only Ino and the stranger – hot stranger at that – alone.

She didn't like the idea of being tutored but she decided that if the tutor was this hot she could reconsider the idea.

"Nice to meet you," she took one step closer to him and extended her hand for a shake-hand. But he just ignored her, instead walked passed by her and sat to one of the empty chairs.

"Sit here next to me and take your notebooks out of your bags," he commanded coldly. "We're starting now since I saw how bad your grades are, we need not to waste any time."

"I'm sorry but I've got an appointment like," she paused and looked at her wristwatch, "right now. I need to get my nails done and no, this can't wait."

He stood up and harshly grabbed her arm, "You're not going anywhere," his harsh tone kind of scared her; "You have some math to do."

She tried to jerk her arm off from his grasp, "Let go of me!"

"I won't let go of you until you sit your ass down and do your homework," his grab became much tighter. "Sit down. Now!"

"Okay, gosh!" She finally was free from his grasp. About time! She sat down and took out her notebooks. "You're really rude. You shouldn't do that to women, you know!"

He sat next to her as he snatched the book under his seat. "Your homework is on page 547, second exercise. It says do the odd numbers only."

She unwillingly turned her book to the desired page and looked at the Calculus problems. She was clueless how to do them. "What the hell are these? These hurt my head."

"It says 'Evaluate the Integral'," he read the instruction. She had no idea what he just had said. The heck was he saying?

"I didn't learn that," she complained. "Can I go now?"

"You didn't learn this because you, most of the time, cut school," was his sermon. She wasn't enjoying this at all. "And you can't go until you finish these fifteen questions!"

"Oh come on!" she was surprised to being held back despite the fact that class hours were over. "Like it or not, I am never going to do those annoying problems. You can eat those functions, formulas, or the whole book if you want to!"

She stood up and walked away without saying a word. First meeting was an epic fail. And he could tell that next meeting wouldn't be any easier either.

Beautifulgeek11: Oh my God, new fanfic. I am so disgusting. But please review this one. I am planning to update this one a lot. I'm not as busy as I was! Oh my God, I am just going to write fanfic, not read the freaking Manga anymore. I was so disappointed with Ch. 469! What the hell happened to Sakura! Ugh. Seriously.

But please tell me what you think about this chapter. I need feedback. : )

And one more thing, I will try to review Ino fanfics as much as I can because I figured that reviews encourage and motive authors to write more Ino fanfics. The blond needs to be loved! She's trailing by a lot compared to other characters and it annoys me! I hope you do review on Ino fanfics too!
