A/N: I've been busy lately. We had three consecutive weeks of exams and it's killing me to no end. We don't have that much assignments but I still have to study for our tests. I couldn't type properly because exams are plaguing my mind! So please bear with me.
Summary: (For those who want to preview the summary) They pretended to be a couple to fool his fan girls and her fan boys. Hugging, holding hands and even kissing each other in public! But what if this simple deal comes to reality? Will they have the guts to accept the fact and face the challenges ahead?SxS
Disclaimer: All characters I used are made and owned by Masashi Kishimoto. I am off hand with these characters. I only own the whole plot and storyline, together with the personalities of the characters that made them OOC.

Notice
» Thank you for all the reviews for the previous chapters, be it chapter 1 – 7.
» Sorry for the late update. I'm having trouble with my two on-going stories and I'm also having second thoughts if I would be posting up those upcoming stories that I thought. I'm having this severe writer's block after having to review for those consecutive examinations.
To Sad4ngel,
Thank you! You can blame my brother for making me play those hit Final Fantasy games. Play FF8 and you'll hear all of those pieces I used here in my fic. Thank you again! I really appreciate it when people compliment me for my skills in writing. It makes me want to hug you and do more and much better:)
To SweetKisses9,
Sasuke already told her that he loves her. Please refer to chapter 4 wherein they were having their first date.
To rebel-girl,
I'm still thinking if I would reconsider Deidara in the story again or stick with the Temujin idea. I was also thinking that I would insert both in the story, both blondes playing the antagonists of this story.
To bLoodY vEngEfUl sOul,
Whoa! She shared it with your whole class? I didn't know that my story was THAT famous to many people now, and I'm so flattered about it.
To Pale Moonlit Nightsky,
LOL! BTW, I need your help in this story. I need more ideas! You could also be a contributor in this story, and I would gladly post up your name in the succeeding chapters ahead for recognition as my 'co-author' for ideas, ne? I really love your ideas to be mixed with mine!
Foolish Heart
Chapter 8 : A Valentines to Remember
Konohagakure University was known for having those rich and famous, mostly bitchy, students and a school that has it all. It is also known for having prestigious prodigies from prestigious families from all around Konoha, and other countries. But, what was never discovered from their students, is that, even though they look cold and bad from the outside, sometimes, they could also be sweet with their own loved ones every Valentine's day… Just like out precious Uchiha prodigy, who was now preparing something for the special occasion that was about to happen for that day…
"Dobe, is everything ready?" Uchiha Sasuke spoke through his mobile phone, which was sandwiched by his shoulder and cheek, while doing some finishing touches in the pieces of papers in his home desk. The red paper, where words were written neatly and legibly, was folded into a rose.
"Yeah, it's all ready. Neji and Shino already finished theirs too. All in all, it's perfect and complete… maybe except for the courses." Naruto said from the other line, while slurping his ramen, which was visibly and clearly heard.
"Thanks dobe." Sasuke thanked his best friend and hanged up and continued to fold the red papers into roses. He glanced at his wall clock for the moment. 'Quarter to eight.' He thought to himself as he folded the last paper with great speed without even making the paper rose look distorted. He then walked towards his closet and fished out a towel and went to his built in bathroom and started to prepare for school.
Ring…
Rriinngg…
Rrriiinnnggg…
Sakura dashed out from the bathroom, her wet body wrapped with a light pink towel, her hair dripping with water and shampoo. "Hello?" She answered as she activated the loud speaker so that her phone wouldn't be soiled with water.
"Piggy?" A low, baritone voice asked from the other line, making Sakura pout. "Mou! You're so mean, Sasu-kun!" Sakura whined making Sasuke chuckle. "Relax piggy, I still love you even though you're fat." These words made Sakura smile.
"Mou, you're so sweet." She said and went again inside the bathroom, pulling down the cover of the toilet seat and placed the phone above it. She increased the volume of the speaker and stepped in the showers again, and rinsed off the soap suds properly. "You're taking a bath?" She heard Sasuke ask.
"Yup, very imperfect timing." Sakura stated, making Sasuke, again chuckle. "Well sorry. I couldn't wait to see you today. Want me to pick you up?" He asked as he started to button up his polo shirt from his side of the phone. "Hmm… If it's okay with you," She thought while gently scrubbing her legs while rinsing them. "Why not?"
"It's only you, so, it's okay with me." Sasuke said as he picked up his bag and car keys and ran out of his house towards the garage. "I'll pick you up at around 8:30." He said. "Seeing that you're still doing your chores, I'll hang up now."
"Mm… Thanks. I'll be ready by that time." She said and stepped out of the showers, wrapping herself again with the towel she used earlier. "Bye piggy." Sasuke joked from the other line. "Mou! Bye meanie!" Sakura countered and started to blow dry her hair. "Happy Valentine's Day, piggy." Sasuke whispered sweetly through the phone, which made Sakura smile. "Happy Valentine's Day, meanie." And with that, both hung up.
As the bell rung, which indicated their lunch break, students greeted their teachers their own goodbyes and flooded the hallways, going to their lockers and some going to the school's cafeteria to buy their food. The students were given a two hour lunch break due to a very urgent teacher's meeting, which gave an opportunity for Sasuke's plan to commence.
As the two month couple, Uchiha Sasuke and Haruno Sakura stepped out if their History class, Sasuke excused himself to go to the washroom and told Sakura to head first to her locker and just wait for him in the rooftop.
Sakura agreed and went straight to the direction of her locker at the near end of the long hallway. When she reached her locker, she opened the combination and was shocked to see a small light brown teddy bear sitting on top of all her books and things with a paper rose in hand.
Looking around, she tried to look for a certain raven haired man, but there was none. She immediately took the paper rose from the bear and unfolded the paper, making sure it wouldn't tear.
"Go to room 214"
Sakura reread the note and raised a delicate pink brow up. 'What the heck?! What does this mean?' She thought. Sighing out loud she dumped in her bag and took out her lunch bag and closed her locker door, after taking the bear and the letter.
'It won't hurt if I would go right?' She asked herself and started to climb the closest staircase in the hallway to the second floor where the room is to be found. Turning in some more corners, she finally reached the room destination. In a gold plaque and light letters engraved in the plaque, it read 'Room 214'.
She was about to push open the sliding door of the room, when she saw another paper rose stuck between the door and the door frame. Taking out the rose, she again undid it and read its contents.
"Locker number 53 at floor 3"
Without any word, she patiently made her way towards the third floor and pocketed the two letters in her pockets, while clutching the bear and her lunch bag. Reaching the hallway of the lockers, she squeezed herself through the people around the lockers area and made it to the said locker.
As expected, there was a paper rose tied in the handle of the locker door with a tag inscribed with the name 'Sakura' in it. She untied the ribbon and unfolded it, reading its mysterious contents.
"Still okay? Go to the female's comfort room in the fifth floor"
Huffing and puffing her cheeks out, she proceeded to the girl's washroom on the fifth floor. Reaching there, she waited a bit for a few seniors who just stepped out of the room. She saw that the last cubicle was locked due to a student who was doing her thing in the toilet, she proceeded in finding the rose.
She checked on every cubicle, sinks and also the back of the mirrors. When she came in the last stall of the cubicles, she saw the paper rose, neatly laid on the floor in front od the last cubicle. Glancing for a moment at the locked door, she picked up the rose and went out of the comfort room, unaware of Tenten and Ino, peeking out from the top of the door, sniggering and doing their 'Hi five's'.
She unfolded the rose and looked at the paper weirdly. 'What the heck is this writing? Or more should I say… numbers?!' She thought and tried to look for any letters in the whole paper, but found none.
" 7 / 15 // 20 / 15 // 20 / 8/ 5 // 18 / 15 / 15 / 6 / 20 / 15 / 16 / "
Sighing, she decided to examine the letter thoroughly while walking towards the hallway, where a few students were doing their own talk. She tilted the paper slightly to the right and illuminated something. Blinking for a few times, she did it again, which she now saw.
"Note: Use the character string of these numeric values"
"I see." She whispered softly and did a mental note taking while decoding the message slash instruction. 'Go… uhm… to… the… What's number 18?... Oh yeah, 'R'… r…r-rooftop...?' Blinking her eyes once more, she stared blankly at the paper.
"Go to the rooftop…?" She asked herself, not loud enough for people to think that she has gone nuts. She immediately made her way up the rooftop, which was only a floor away. Running up the flight of stairs, she pushed open the rooftop's door and gasped at what she saw.
There, in the middle, was a large cloth in crimson color, surrounding it was petals of red roses, matching it with sweet background music, making a romantic glow. In the dead middle of the mat was a bouquet of a dozen red roses, with another small bear attached to its ribbon.
Then, out of nowhere, Sasuke came out with a smile on his face. He picked up the bouquet and walked to her. "For my Piggy." He grinned when she pouted shyly but eventually became a smile. She tackled him into a tight hug, tears forming in the corners of her eyes.
"Arigatou…" She whispered when he stroked her back, comforting her. Sasuke then made them both sway with the current music playing and placed the roses back to its original position before it was picked up by him. He wrapped his arms around her waist, whilst hers was wrapped around his neck, with her face buried in his chest. He then leaned down and said something before locking her lips into a sweet kiss.
"Happy Valentine's Day and Happy Monthsary, my piggy."
A/N: Chapter 8 done! I know you are wondering why Sasuke calls her piggy. Well, there's really no connection with the story. I'm just fond of pigs right now.
Like what I have said earlier, I'm very busy: schoolwork (not homework), reporting, dance practices, exams and the preparation for out clearances for this school year. But anyway, summer is nearing so I have plenty of time to type. But in April, I'll have my review for the college entrance examinations that's required for all the third year students to attend. So, I'll be busy in the first month, but I'll try not to be busy in May, ne?
