Windswept [ SASUSAKU - Modern AU ]

Chapter 7: Mikoto and the Medicine Bottles

Two weeks ago, if you told me I'd be sneaking out of school with Uchiha Sasuke, I would've laughed at you and called you crazy. However, that's what I was doing right now. Yes, I, Haruno Sakura, was sneaking out of school with Uchiha Sasuke. His hand gripping mine firmly as he dragged me out of the school building and into the carpark just a little ways to the right side of the school, pulling me towards — what I assume — his car, the cold air whipping around us and making goosebumps form on my uncovered skin. I wasn't sure where Sasuke wanted to take me, but I honestly didn't care. Uchiha Sasuke actually wanted to sneak out of school with me; it's definitely something that could make any girl shocked and excited.

I stood quietly next to him as he opened the passenger door of his black SS Ultimate Aero and ushered me in. Once I had my seatbelt on and Sasuke was in the car, he took off, driving out of the school like a freaking fast and the furious driver, I had to grip onto my leg to stop myself from shouting out at Sasuke to slow down.

I glanced out the window with a frown. We were heading in the opposite direction from my house and the school, towards the outskirts of town. I didn't really go down this area much, never really had a reason to, plus, this was the area for the "rich people" practically. Hinata lives a little ways from the school, about two blocks over, so she comes pretty close to this part of town; although her father doesn't really allow "outsiders" into his house, so I've only been to Hinata's once.

Sasuke took a right turn sharply, and I let out a yelp. I heard Sasuke chuckle next to me and I turned to glare at him. "Sasuke!" I yelped. "I thought I was going to fly right into the window!"

"Pay attention and you won't get surprised." he counted, smirking.

I folded my arms over my chest, my emerald orbs glaring at the super nice, super expensive, blue Mercedes-Benz in front of us. I turned my attention to Sasuke's car, my eyes scanning over the sleek black dashboard, the seats were leather and were also black, in fact, Sasuke's whole car was just black; but it suited him though. His family sure are loaded and very trustworthy of Sasuke if they bought him a car like the SS Ultimate Aero.

I glanced at Sasuke from the corner of my eye. He was wearing a plain black t-shirt with a black jacket over it, he had on a pair of black jeans and his navy blue Chucks that seemed to be his favorite. There was no doubt that Sasuke was attractive, you'd have to be crazy to think otherwise; he just had this air about him that screamed "don't fuck with me" and honestly, it made him seem so much more attractive. Honestly, he looked like a God.

My mind flashed back to the fact that I now know he has Major Depressive Disorder. I wanted so badly to just ask him about it, or hint that I knew, but I couldn't. Sasuke and I may get along well, but we've only been friends for a little over a week, I didn't want to intrude on his personal life more than I already have; it's best if I just sit back and wait for answers to find me instead of going out and finding more questions.

I wanted to hug him then.

I wanted to reach over and hug him tightly, pressing my body against his and to feel his body on mine. I didn't want anything else at that moment; all I wanted was him and I knew, oh God, it was like being hit by a bus.

I wanted Uchiha Sasuke. I wanted everything that he had to offer me.

"Sakura, are you okay? You're staring at me like Naruto stares at Ramen." Sasuke's voice suddenly said.

I blushed a deep red and shook my head, looking away from his prying dark eyes. From the corner of my eye, I could see him smirking before he took one hand off the wheel and poked my cheek, making me turn my head towards him and glare.
