Summary: College, an institute dedicated to expanding the young ones' minds and revolving around education, at least that is what the big fancy packet said. To Sakura, its all about roommates that are a bit crazy and have drinking problems, friends that aren't really that much help, and a her best friend's cousin who is from her past. She runs away from it all and finds that all of the boys hold her heart but what she doesn't know is their hearts are in her hands, tightly wedged in.

As She Held Their Hearts

Chapter 1: What Her World is Like

"I do not have a drinking problem, Sakura." the young man snapped, he was quite angry. So he had a couple of good, hardy drinks with the guys. That hardly called for his roommate to have a grueling argument with him. Though, he had to admit, she looked pretty right now. He wondered why she was so dressed up in a red flowing dress and heels. They made her look a little taller but she was still petite. None the less, she had a gorgeous face and-

"Yes you do, Deidara" Sakura stated, bring Sasori back to reality. She was pointing at his drink in disgust. She hated this habit so much. She was out of town and he threw a huge 'End of Summer Party' and got wasted. Then, she had to clean his mess up. "You're on your sixthteen drink and you don't look like you're stopping anytime soon"

"You are right; I don't plan on giving up my drinking right now or ever." Deidara slurred out, he was still a bit tipsy from the drinks and was strutting over to the fridge. His staggering gait was the only clue he was drunk as his face was flat as a board. He reminded Sakura of their other roommate who was bound to come in here with another lousy girl.

Sakura sometimes hated who she had to room with. Deidara was constant drinking, and out partying with his fraternity's members. She believed they were called the 'Akatsuki' and they partied all over campus. What was even worse was that they were all handsome, except for the one girl with them. Sakura had absolutely no idea why Konan would even hang out with these guys. She was a cousin withe the fraternity leader. Sakura didn't really know them well. She tended to drift away from her roommates and their crazy friends.

Sakura saw Deidara get yet another cool drink from the fridge. He already had that 'high on whatever, but it's got to be good' look and he was just opening another can when somebody swiped it from him.

"Hey, Deidara thanks for the drink." Itachi smoothly said as he chugged down his friend's beloved drink. Itachi was wearing a black, expensive-looking suit that was disheveled and his ties loosened. The second button on Itachi's shirt was undone and then put on the first's place. He had a staggering girl at his left arm that held a wide, drunken grin as she laughed at her date's actions. Itachi hadn't really planned to go out with her but she had spiked his drink but she was stupid enough to drink part of the spiked drink herself. Sakura was horridly disgusted with the woman as she was wearing highly revealing clothing and was attempting to pull off Itachi's pants. Sakura wasn't very surprised at the scene. It happened almost every weekend she wasn't here.

Itachi and Deidara would go out and drink while she would give them support from the hangovers. Deidara loved those wild nights; they served the best stuff, the good stuff. Itachi, in a drunken state, would try to pick up girls and very easily too. Deidara often wondered if Itachi was some sort of supernatural being because

How the hell was Itachi getting laid more than him, with a different girl every time!

It just wasn't right.

"I am going to kill you, slowly" Deidara hissed out and tackled Itachi, he was probably still high of the alcohol but he didn't really care at the moment.

Sakura sighed deeply and went to the fridge to get something to eat, she had a feeling that they would be hungry after their little brawl and she wanted to make them a hot dinner and crush some Tylenol with water. They were a total pain, her roommates, but they were still good guys.

Sakura woke up to the sound of rustling beside her small form, it felt warm and she cuddled against it. She tightly wrapped and wove her arms around it as if it were a pillow. She nudged her hair and head into the warmth softly and sighed in relaxation. Then, her pillow chuckled at her. Sakura noticed it was a low, soft chuckle and she wouldn't have heard it if not for it being her pillow's words. But that statement didn't sit well with her and she rose up her head in annoyance. She didn't like that her pillow was laughing at her, for whatever reason. She slowly twitched her nose and opened her eyes as a blurs of white and red settled down. She looked up to the face of Deidara and looked at the position she was in. Her head shook back and forth. She did an eleven-take, instead of double take which was just for one time.

She finally came to her senses and immediately pushed Deidara away.

"Well, it seemed that you were enjoying it too." Deidara chuckled as he picked himself up from the floor. He enjoyed seeing her reactions all the time, they were quite...amusing. He often ruffled her feathers just to annoy her. She was a little robin just waiting to be set free with emotion.

"Well, uh...um...that is to say...Ahhhh!" Sakura screamed in frustration and annoyance as she fumbled to find the right words at the moment. The summer eat was getting to her, and it was totally rotting her brain. She does not like Deidara, and her sleeping with him was a great and huge mistake. That was all that it was.

She wavered for a very brief second before attempting to shove Deidara through the door.

"Okay, I get it, just stop shoving me." Deidara said as he attempted to push against the short pinkette. "Hey...HEY...Don't push me through ther-"

Sakura froze in shock as time just seemed to flow by them. She stuttered and fumbled with apologies and sorries directed toward Deidara .She finally came to her surroundings and helped him off the cold ground. He had hit the door frame directly and put his hand his face in the agony of pain. Deidara went out of the room to collect his thoughts; he also didn't like the thought of Sakura seeing him in a weak spot.

When Sakura had closed the door behind him she sighed heavily and dropped her seemingly heavy arms to the sides of her body. She leaned on the wooden door for supprot and put a hand on it. She waited a moment to see if everything was perfectly quiet before standing up straight and tall. She had to go change into something appropriate before going to Itachi's room. She had figured he was having headaches and needed some aspirin. Itachi was a whole different person when drunk.

Sakura gave a gentle hum and she walked happily down the long hallway to Itachi's room. There was a stilled peacful quiet and he was probably asleep with that girl at his side. No doubt that he would try to shove the girl out. Sakura felt sorry for whoever the girl was.

Itachi Uchiha did not like mornings.

In fact, he loathed them to the point of committing suicide sometimes. It wasn't the drinking and the hangover that was the problem, though they were quite annoying and tedious. It was the girls he rings home after being in that drunken stage. He really never wanted to sleep with them; he just wanted to relieve some stress. His father was putting so much pressure on him to join the police force after college and now that his brother was joining him, it was all so complicated in his life. But when in his drunken fazes he became quite...flirtatious.

But back to the present, this was a problem.

"Hey Baby~" The girl he had slept with the previous night sang out seductively. HE could cringe at the thought of sleeping with her. She had make-up smeared all over her face, her hair was a tangled mess, and she basically looked 10 years younger than what she looked like last night. She attempted to hug him and bring him closer to her but Itachi refused and grabbed her arm couldn't even remember her name, was it Karrie, Karoline? Well, it didn't really matter anyway. He wanted to get this over with as soon as possible.

He attempted to shove her out the door so he could live on with his life. She amazingly grasped onto the doorway and hung on as if it were for her life. Itachi just kept pulling with a blank face; this was definitely going to be a problem. He finally managed to pull her from his room and shove her out of their front door. He ignored the desperate calls of love and banging on the door, eventually they subsided and he walked silently back to his room.

He closed the door behind him and ruffled his hair in annoyance, those hangover headaches are finally kicking in. He wished he could be like Deidara, he amazingly didn't have hangover after drinking, he was so lucky.

A knock on the door resounded in his ears and he turned around to open the door. There stood Sakura holding aspirin, water, and a gentle smile.

"I thought you could use this." She said as she smiled, she wanted to make sure he was okay.

Never mind, Itachi loved mornings.

Sakura suited up and headed to class along with Itachi. Deidara had decided to sleep in, happy cloud racing yawned slightly before getting a good gripon its handle.

Sakura opened the door and was greeted by super tight hug.

Sakura sighed at the hug and Itachi looked on in annoyance to his relative.

Great, the pedophile is back.
