WHAT A GIRL WANTS (Modern AU SasuSaku )

Chapter Seven

Author's note: The point of view (POV) always shifted between the author's POV and Sakura's POV only, so don't get confused since I wanted to make the story flow naturally.

Entering the classroom with confidence, Sakura was bathed in the morning sunlight's warm glow. Unaware of it, her stylish skirt had slipped a bit lower than intended, garnering more attention than she expected. Sasuke, usually indifferent to such matters, couldn't help but scowl as he noticed some inappropriate glances directed at her.

Casually applying lip balm, Sakura noticed Sasuke, in his characteristically awkward but protective manner, swiftly moving to shield her from prying eyes. Wondering what prompted his actions, she shot him a puzzled look as Sasuke subtly gestured for her to adjust her skirt.

Sakura's brow furrowed. "Sasuke, what's going on? Why are you...?"

Sasuke's cheeks turned a delicate shade of pink as he tried to maintain his composure. "Just, um, making sure no one gets the wrong idea. Your skirt is... well, it's a bit too low."

Sakura's gaze shifted downward, and realization dawned. "Oh, my goodness, how embarrassing! Thanks, Sasuke."

Sasuke grumbled softly. "Don't mention it. Just fix it."

Sakura promptly adjusted her skirt, her cheeks tinted with a rosy hue. "I can't believe I didn't notice. Thanks for looking out for me, Sasuke."

Sasuke replied with an awkward nod. "Yeah, well, someone has to."

Before the situation could escalate, Naruto made his entrance with an uncharacteristically mischievous grin. Sakura and Sasuke exchanged wary glances, sensing something was up. Naruto's peculiar demeanor only heightened their unease.

Sakura's initial shock gradually turned into frustration as she realized some girls were gathered around a laptop, enjoying her singing duet disaster with Sasori on YouTube.

A girl with French braids burst into uncontrollable laughter. "Oh my gosh, have you heard Sakura's 'singing'? It's like a cat being strangled!"

Another girl chimed in with a mocking tone. "I can't believe she thought she could actually sing. I bet even the deaf are cringing!"

A chubby girl joined in the teasing. "I heard they played this video at the animal shelter, and all the dogs started howling in pain!"

Sakura's face burned with embarrassment as the girls continued their merciless banter. Her resolve to unmask the culprits and make them rue the day they laughed at her grew stronger by the second.

With fierce determination, Sakura seethed to herself, "They think this is funny? I'll show them who's laughing!"

Sasuke, his voice hushed as he spoke to Sakura, urged her to remain composed. "Calm down, Sakura. We'll figure this out."

Sakura whispered back, her tone resolute, "No, Sasuke. This is personal now. They're going to regret making fun of me like this."

Sasuke, with a resigned nod, acknowledged her determination. "Just promise me you won't do anything too reckless."

Sakura's lips curved into a sly smile. "Oh, Sasuke, you know me. I'll make sure it's unforgettable."

With a shared look of determination, Sakura and Sasuke stood united in their mission to uncover the culprit behind the embarrassing video. The girls' laughter in the background fueled Sakura's determination, and Sasuke understood there was no turning back.

As Sakura planned her retaliation, Sasuke admired her fiery spirit. Behind his stoic exterior, he was ready to stand by Sakura and support her in whatever daring scheme she devised to turn the tables on those who had mocked her.
