:A/N: Thank you for deciding to read this. For people that have been reading my other story, I apologize for not updating... You see, I might just completely start over with it and re-write the whole thing, taking out all of the stuff that isn't needed. (Sigh) Well, I need to get my homework done that's due tomorrow... I really am a pitiful procrastinator...

Listening to:

"DARKNESS EYES" by DBSK

I made a video with this song, but with a different anime, but I think it suits Sasuke as well.

Anyway, I hope you like this story.

-Prologue-

Meeting

I don't understand or care about what anyone else thinks.

"Sasuke-kun, will you...will you go out with me?"

I don't see what the big deal is.

"...No."

Everyday was always like this.

"Ah. I-I see... Well, thank you for listening, anyway!"

I simply turned and walked away, leaving the girl there to cry alone. I didn't feel sorry for her.

She should have known that I would just reject her, so it's not my problem.

I ran one of my hands through my hair, sighing as I walked to my morning classes.

There were girls staring at me with eyes full of yearning, and guys glaring with theirs full of jealousy. I ignored every look I was receiving, and took a seat at my desk, closing my eyes as I sighed once more. I turned my head to the left slightly, and stared out the window. Winter had come quickly, and snow was falling fast, covering everything it could. I was content until something interrupted my train of thought.

I turned my attention towards the front of the room, as the teacher spoke up.

"Everyone, calm down! We have a new student, today! Ah, Hyuga-san, please introduce yourself."

I glanced towards the student he was speaking to. She was shaking as she tried giving a pitiful smile to everyone. She looked like she was going to pass out.

"Y-Yes! Um. Hello everyone. My n-name is Hinata Hyuga..." She bowed as she said this. She was trying to be very formal with everyone, but she looked pathetic.

"Yes, everyone, please treat her nicely from now on!" He grinned and looked around the room.

"Let's see, then...ah! Sasuke, raise your hand. Hyuga-san, please sit next to Sasuke for now."

Nodding her head, she moved over to the seat next to my own.

After sitting in her seat, she turned and looked in my direction, smiling.

"Hello, i-it's nice to meet you." I looked at her for a moment, but then focused on the front of the room once more.

I didn't know at the time...that this girl would change my life completely.

:A/N: Well, did you like it? I know it's not much at all, but this is more of a prologue than anything.

I'll get into the more tragic and dramatic stuff later, so there's something to look forward to.

I plan on writing in Sasuke's point of view, even though I'm not a guy... (sweat drop)

Ah, gender doesn't matter. I truly do feel as if I understand Sasuke's character more than Hinata's, so I chose to write through his perspective.

Please review. :D
