My One and Only

Chapter 11

It had been a few days since Itachi and Sakura had been at her parent's home. Sakura was attending classes at the ladies academia as she should be. It was different now. Sakura had missed two whole days of classes and no one had bothered to fill her in except for the stewardesses. 

They would have done so before.

Sakura could also hear the other girls whispering about her. People seemed to be throwing fake smiles at her just to be polite left and right.

Some girls didn't even bother with that.

Sakura didn't really care if most people ignored her. She didn't need friends. What was getting to her was the constant whispering she was hearing.

When she heard the distinct word "slut" she almost turned around to give whoever had dared call her that a piece of her mind. If they were going to call her names they should at least try to be discreet about it.

She had gripped her desk and controlled herself, though. She wouldn't show them that their comments were bothering her. They were not going to get to her.

At least no one was throwing things at her or purposely trying to make her life miserable like they would have done had she been anyone else. They were no doubt afraid of what Itachi would do if she told him.

Not like Sakura would have just taken it lying down if they had been doing just that, but still.

Even the stewardesses were treating her strangely! Unlike a lot of the young girls that would look at her with disdain while she was just trying to get through her day, the stewardesses seemed to be trying to get into her good graces.

They were definitely smarter than their students and no doubt believed they would get something out of Sakura liking them.

Even an older woman who was always strict and mean to everyone was suddenly being nice to her. This didn't help with the other girls of course and only gave them more reason to lift their noses at her and walk away angrily.

Yeah, well, she was getting special privileges so suck on that!

All her things had been moved from her dorm room in the ladies' academia to Itachi's house. At least she hadn't been there to see what the other girls said about that.

A fancy carriage with horses would come to pick her up every day after her classes were done now. The first day it had shown up, she had satisfyingly watched as some of the other girls looked at it with jealousy. 

Sakura was sure the chatter would die down soon as the girls got bored about talking about the same thing. She just had to control herself and hold out until it did. It's not that their words made her sad or anything. She was definitely not going home and dramatically crying about it.

It's more that they made her want to violently punch someone in their stupid ugly faces. A lady shouldn't punch people in the face, no matter how much they deserved it. Not to mention it would only create another round of gossip about her and make talk about her last longer.

Her mother would also find out about it. As much as Mebuki didn't care about the other things people were saying about her Sakura was sure she would care if she punched someone.

Sometimes Sakura wondered if it really wasn't worth it to just let loose no matter what people said about her.

At least back at her new home none of the maids or servants dared talk bad about her. At least not where she or Itachi could hear them.
