Expect the Unexpected

Chapter One

"Watch where you're going klutzilla."

"I hate you."

"You're a loser."

"Go die."

"You suck at comebacks."

"Well you have chicken butt hair."

"You have an unnatural hair color."

"Homo."

"Teacher's pet."

"Socially Challenged."

"Nerd."

"Womanizer."

"I thought I was gay?" Sakura was about to create a comeback to Sasuke's statement but her loud friend had interrupted her train of thinking.

"Shut up!" Ino screamed over the two bickering.

"Teme, why do you always have to start fights with Sakura-chan?" Naruto asked. Sasuke just shrugged his shoulders and walked passed Sakura while flicking her head.

"Bastard!" Sakura screamed after him. Sasuke just rolled his eyes and continued walking with Naruto behind him.

"Don't worry about it Sak. Sasuke is just such a jerk." Temari comforted. It's not like Sakura cared what he thought. Seriously, they have been at it for years. They always fought being how they were the two best students in the school. Sakura was a nerd but incredibly smart, nice, athletic, popular with the nerd population and beautiful when she tried. Sasuke was smart, nice-cough-, athletic, popular with the annoying people, and all together beautiful. This could greatly explain his massive fangirl population.

"I know. I just hate him." Sakura responded.

"What was the fight about this time?" Tenten asked while sitting down under a tree on the school field that Sakura and her friends were at. They were on lunch break.

"I was walking with my lunch in hand when I accidentally pushed my tray of food into his chest." All her friends sweatdropped and rolled their eyes.

"Sakura! What did I tell you about messing with such a huge hunk of mancandy? It will only bite you back!" Ino exclaimed. Yes, like many girls in my school, Ino was infatuated with Sasuke Uchiha. Sakura, on the other hand detests him.

"Okay, first of all, he's the farthest thing from mancandy. Secondly, he's the one who started this all. I was nicely walking past his seat in science after I received my test. He just stuck his foot out and tripped me. Yeah, it was great having everyone laugh at me as I fell down face first." All her friends laughed as Sakura frowned.

"Sorry Sak. It's just really funny. I mean, you're the only girl in the entire high school who hates him. Even Temari and Tenten liked him at once. Heck, even Hinata and we all know about her fanatical obsession with Naruto! I think you're crazy, or into woman." Ino explained. Sakura just sighed. Ino always accused her of being gay when Sasuke is the center of their conversation.

"I'm not gay!" Sakura screamed in anguish. This attracted a lot of attention.

"Glad to hear that." Sasuke whispered in her ear while walking behind her. Sakura grunted angrily, not even bothering to blush at her embarrassment.

"Uchiha!" Sakura screamed while chasing after him.

"I sense a love connection…" Hinata whispered. Tenten, Temari and Ino's heads whipped around quickly to face their quiet friend.

"What?" Tenten asked as if she hadn't heard right.

"Well, it kind of makes sense. They both hate each other. People usually treat each other badly when they secretly like them. Sak would just never admit it." Hinata explained. Believe it or not, Hinata was extremely talkative when she was alone with her friends.

"You know, that kind of makes sense…" Temari concluded while tapping her finger on her chin in a thinking matter.

And so the forming of this love connection began…

"Dude, I don't get why you're so mean to her." Naruto stated while getting into Sasuke's black convertible. Sasuke just sighed. He was tired of these conversations he had with his best friend.

"She's annoying." Sasuke said simply while putting his key into the ignition. It was true. She was probably the most annoying, irritating, beautiful person he had ever met. Wait, what, beautiful? Sasuke quickly shook that thought out of his head. She wasn't beautiful. She was weird with her weird pink hair. She never let her hair out of that stupid ponytail and all she ever does is play sports, just like me. Shut up! Sasuke scolded himself again. She's the farthest thing from pretty and the closest to an annoyance.

"It's your loss." Naruto said while throwing his bag in the back seat of his car.

"What do you mean?" Sasuke asked a little annoyed with how this conversation was going.

"I'm going to ask her to the dance this Friday." Naruto answered. For some odd reason, something in Sasuke snapped. He didn't want Sakura going to the dance with his best friend. He didn't know why all these feelings were occurring inside him, but it quickly passed once he heard Naruto's voice. "What?" Naruto had asked this once when he realized Sasuke's face became somewhat deformed.

"Nothing at all." Naruto just shook his head, accomplishment in his nod at his friends comment.

"So, do you think she'll say yes?" Sasuke, in all honesty, knew that Sakura would say no. She wasn't interested in guys that flirted with her. She always stayed away from them and avoided them, just like she would do with Naruto.

"I don't know." Sasuke stated. Naruto's head turned to face his friend.

"What do you mean by I don't know?" Naruto demanded. "I know she likes that Sai kid and all, but…"

"Wait, what? She likes Sai?" Sasuke practically screamed. Something ticked inside of him yet again.

"Yeah. I heard her and Hinata talking about it a few days ago in Science. She has apparently liked him for the past few months." Sasuke hated Sai with all his life. He had always tried to be like him and was as gay as gay could be. Sure he had lots of girlfriends and fangirls, but it didn't change the fact that Sasuke hated him.

The snapping inside Sasuke calmed down and he finally realized something.

I could use this to my advantage…

"Ino-pig, shut up. I'm trying to study." Sakura commanded to her blond friend that was sitting in the wooden chair next to her.

"But I don't know what I'm going to wear to the dance! Plus, you study enough in school! I don't know why you use your study period to study! We should be using it to talk about clothes!" Ino exclaimed while slamming her hands down on the table. Sakura just rolled her eyes.

"Oh look, its Sakura being a nerd!" A red headed girl cheered while walking over to the table both girls were currently at.

"Whatever Karin…" Sakura said, still looking down at her algebra notebook. She was used to the torment of the populars at school.

"You know, I'm sure that Sai-kun wouldn't like you being how you're a nerd." Ami, who was next to Karin, stated matter-of-factly. Sakura's head shot up at this comment.

"W-What?" Sakura stuttered.

"Well we were talking to Sai-kun and he said that someone told him that you liked him, a lot." Sakura couldn't believe the words coming out of Karin's mouth. Who could have told? Her friends wouldn't. She was talking about it the other day in Chemistry but not loud enough. Wait, Naruto was near the other day. Sakura thought, but then realized that Naruto would never do something so mean; especially since he likes her. Maybe he told Sasuke. Sasuke…SASUKE!

"UCHIHA!' Sakura screamed at the top of her lungs while running out of that library as fast as she could with Ino trailing behind her.

"Hot babe at eleven o'clock headed your way Sasuke." Kiba stated while pointing his finger to Sakura who was running into the gym. She knew that the boys always practiced basketball during study hall.

"UCHIHA!" She screamed while storming over to him. Sasuke just smirked, knowing exactly why she was pissed.

"Yes?" He asked innocently.

"I knew that you were a jerk, but I never thought that you'd sink THIS low!" Sakura yelled while Sasuke just smirked.

"What are you talking about Sakura?" Sasuke whispered in her ear. He extended his hand so it could play with a piece of her pink tresses.

"You're stupid Uchiha charm doesn't work on me!" Sakura informed while whipping his hand away from her hair with her hand.

"Burn…" Kiba hissed while laughing. He was thoroughly enjoying this conversation. But who wouldn't? It's not everyday that you see the almighty Sasuke get rejected for a flirt with a beautiful girl.

Ino had just arrived and was watching from the sidelines of the conversation as well as Kiba.

"How could you do this?" Sakura asked.

"Maybe you should go and yell at Naruto being how he was the one eavesdropping." Sasuke explained.

"Yeah, but he wasn't an ass and went and told the guy!"

"It was an honest accident!"

"Wait, what did he do?" Kiba interrupted the two ranting. Sakura shot Sasuke a look, and then looked at Kiba.

"He went and told Sai that I liked him!" Sakura screamed. Sasuke got a smirk on his face and Sakura wasn't sure why. He pointed a figure behind her and Sakura slowly turned to face her doom.

"Sakura…" Sai greeted. Sakura could feel herself getting redder and redder.

"Hi Sai." Sakura greeted back, making sure not to add the Kun.

"So, I heard that you like me and I just wanted to confirm that I have a girlfriend, think that you're ugly and want to have nothing to do with a hag such as yourself." Sakura's heart broke at Sai's words. Sasuke looked over to his pink-haired peer only to see her eyes start to become wet with tears that she wouldn't let drop.

"Um, okay Sai…" Sakura whispered. At this, Sai shook his head and walked away from them.

"Look, Sakura…I didn't mean…" Sasuke tried to explain but got cut off from a very angry and emotional Haruno.

"Are you happy Sasuke? Is this what you wanted? Well congratulations, because you got it!" Sakura asked finally letting her tears pour.

"No…" Sasuke muttered. He did actually feel really guilty, which never happened.

"Don't come near me ever again Uchiha! I hate you!" Sakura screamed before running out of the gym with Ino following. For some reason, when she said I hate you, it had a different affect on him then it did yesterday. Yesterday, when she said it, he didn't care. But now, now he felt like the asshole he knew that he was…
