1. When sweet and sour meet

⬜️ - Third person POV:
TEN YEARS AGO: "guys! a new kid is coming to our class." A short girl with brown hair pipes up. "Really? Do you know their name?" Another kid asks. The first kid shakes her head, while saying "nope".

The teacher of the classroom slides the door open and walks in. Beside her is a boy with matching black hair and eyes. He's wearing a blank expression, rare for a seven year old. The boy follows the teacher to the front of the room.

"This is Uchiha Sasuke, he will be your new classmate from now on." The teacher says, with her usual soft smile. The teacher then looks down at the boy, expecting him to say something to his classmates. The boy just gives her a moody eye roll, clearly not willing to amuse her. The teacher decides to give up and redirects her attention to the class, more specifically Haruno Sakura.

Sakura had unusual Strawberry blonde hair that bordered more on the lines of Pink. To add she also had emerald green eyes, that shimmered in the sunlight. Because of her unique features she had been popular with her peers. Ever since she could go to school, her classmates who were always so mesmerized.

"Sakura, please raise your hand." The teacher says. Sakura's eyes dart up to the teachers. She had been starring intently at the boy before this. But then again everyone else was too. "Oh, yes." She says, while raising her hand up in the air.

"Okay, Sasuke you see the girl with her hand raised? Right next to her is going to be your desk for the year." She says. The boy nods, letting the teacher know he's listening. He starts to walk over to his desk, and hooks his small grey bag on the side of his desk.

Throughout the lesson Sakura couldn't help but sneak small glances at the boy. She noted how uninterested and moody he looked. She had never met anyone with Such an expression, that in her seven year old head she figured that he was sad.

But she had the perfect idea. Sasuke felt a small tap on his shoulder. He turned to see a Pink haired girl staring at him, her hand extended. She seemed to be offering a small piece of candy in a pink wrapper.

"Here, to make you feel better." She said. That's when the boy started getting confused. 'Why would I need to feel better?' He thought, but he wanted to end the interaction fast so he took the small, pink candy and slipped it into his desk. Which seemed to make the girl happy, and also made her retract her hand and her gaze.

After the lesson, to Sasukes dismay all of his classmates [or so it seemed like all his classmates] wanted to talk to him. "Do you like to play sports?" One kid asked holding a soccer ball. "Where are you going to be eating lunch?" Another kid asked. Sasuke sighed.

He answered the questions with short one or two worded replies, and soon people got back to what they were doing.

At the end of the day:
"Okay class, we're going to be leaving soon so please clean up and stand behind your desks." The teacher said standing in front of the class. Sasuke started to put some of his pencils away in his desk when something fell out.

The pink candy. He had forgotten about it throughout the day. But when he picked it up he thought about the girl who gave it to him 'why did that girl think I needed a stupid piece of candy? I hate sweet things anyways.' He thought as he examined the packaging around it.

He scoffed and slipped the piece of candy back in his desk. Why he didn't just throw it out there is a question he didn't really know the answer to. From that day on the pair found themselves talking to each other more and more.

Over the years teachers loved to pair them up for sports activities, group projects, not to mention they always ended up as desk mates. They really had no choice but to talk to each other. So they did.

They're now going into their last year of high school. And something tells me this year will be an eye opener.
