I just couldn't resist doing a SasuSaku High School story. So, to put it briefly: Sasuke is a rich and handsome jerk, Naruto's his sidekick, Sakura and Ino are best friends, but because of their crush Sakura has to hide her feelings. Rated T to be safe.

" I fell in love with Sasuke Uchiha the moment I saw him. It's love at first sight," Karin Uzumaki exclaimed in her high pitched voice, placing her hand on her chest.

" I fell in love with him whenever I heard his name," Nisoshi Banazuki exclaimed, copying Karin and putting her hand on her chest.

Ino smirked, " You little lowlifes. I fell in love with Sasuke Uchiha whenever our hands touched. Did he touch any of your hands?"

The fan girl's jaw dropped. Ino grinned and grabbed a pink haired girl's shoulder, " Come on Sakura, looks like fan girl central is a bit jealous!"

" Yeah, yeah," Sakura murmured, brushing some of her pink hair away. She blinked and stared with her pleasant emerald eyes at Sasuke Uchiha - the richest and most popular boy in school. He had raven hair and mesmerising onyx eyes. Sakura could never admit to him she liked him, never mind admit it to her crazy friend Ino!

They ran down the corridors and safely hid in the least used bathrooms. Ino smiled, panting heavily, reapplying her mascara on her baby blue eyes and brushing her fair hair.

" You should really try this," Ino handed Sakura a pink lip gloss. Sakura bit her lips. It was pink. How she dreaded that colour! She wouldn't touch anything pink - except her hair.

Sakura sighed, " Okay." She gently applied the lip gloss, wondering if Sasuke Uchiha would notice her. She was one of the lucky few girls who sat beside him in a class. She sat beside him in her favourite class, art. Nobody suspected the rosette had a thing for him, so she was safe.

Sakura brushed back some of her hair and clipped it with a bright red, but simple, clip. She smiled, she didn't look too made up, just better. Your ordinary seventeen year old. She smiled to herself, it was one of these rare moments when she thought she was pretty.

The bell rang. Sakura sighed and picked up her bag. Fangirl time. If only Sasuke wasn't so popular, if only he was like Naruto. Hinata had it easy. The lavender eyed girl had barely any competition.

They managed to survive the class switch. They smiled at each other. Ino sat at a special corner where she and Sakura could see each other perfectly. As long as she had Ino's reassuring face, she was happy. Not only did she have Ino's face, but she also had Tenten's. Tenten, like Hinata, had no interest in Sasuke. She was a perfect tomboy who strived for perfection. She was sporty, cheerful and an amazing friend. There was a rumour she had something for Neji Hyuuga.

She smiled at Sasuke, " Hey, Sasuke."

" Hn."

" Eh, so, what have you done for your homework."

" You don't have to make a conversation with everybody you see."

Sakura sighed, pretending she was annoyed. Inside she was heavily hurt. So much for plan simple seduction. She took out her clip and stuffed it into her pocket.

" I prefer your hair loose," she heard Sasuke mumble. She turned round swiftly to see Sasuke engrossed in finding his homework. Did he just, kind of compliment her? No. This was a dream. Definitely. She wanted him so badly she was imagining things. Scary.
" Now!" everybody turned to Kurenai sensei, " I see everybody here has given me a perfect example of guilty pleasures. I can identify everybody's correctly. Now, because your paired up boy girl pattern, with the person beside you I want you to work on a special project. Your image of something romantic. Now, I've had lots of examples. Some were a little bit too mature, so let's be clear now. Something romantic that does not involve anything rated mature. Okay? Also, your two representations will be yourself and your partner. This is actually a very big part of your end grade, so I will be giving you until Christmas. Because it is handed in on Christmas, you may do something involving Christmas. This week I just want to see some good planning down. Nobody may put pencil on paper in my class without my permission? Understood? Great."

Sakura took a deep breath to stop herself from blushing, " So, interesting assignment, huh?"

" Hn."

Sakura took out blue pens and a blank piece of paper, " So, Sasuke. I don't know how to put this, but what do you find romantic?"

" Something simple."

" Erm, can you explain more?"

" Something simple…from the heart."

Sakura was now as red as Sasuke's precious tomatoes as she wrote that down neatly in her small handwriting.

" Well, I find roses and a boy wiping a girl's tear away romantic…"

" You like that stuff?"

" I've never read a romance novel in my entire life. It's just what I'm getting of TV in this genre that my source comes from."

" Hate romance too, they're all the same."

" Not all of them."

" Edward and Bella."

" Which Edward and Bella? Twilight?"

" Seen that movie?"

" Didn't pay much attention to it."

" What about Fifty Shades of Grey?"

" Never read that. What's the fuss about?"

Sakura swore she saw a tiny bit of red on Sasuke's cheeks, " Something more mature than Twilight. It is a bit identical, but I find it much more interesting."

" You read Fifty Shades of Grey?" Tenten asked from across the table, " Seriously?"

" What's the fuss about?" Sakura asked.

" It's about reproduction."

" Oh," Sakura turned to Sasuke, as red as a beetroot. They just mumbled things quietly for the rest of the lesson, blushing like mad.
