"Coward."
The word echoed in my head like a melody, clinging to every quiet second of my morning.
It almost seemed to conjure itself smack dab in the middle of my peace and quiet, hence why I couldn't get Sakura Haruno out of my head the whole walk to school.
I'd never been one to overreact, I internally process things but react lightly on the outside. But i just paused, and it feels like my brain is still in autopilot where it wouldn't process what had happened that night.
I couldn't ignore the underlying confusion I felt for myself at first. I didn't know what to make of it— I'll dig my fingernails into the palm of my fist, yet it never measured to the indent of her kiss on my lips.

"Uchiha, you're sitting with Karin." Kakashi said flatly, his eyes still in his book.
The class quickly became rowdy as everyone scoped out the newly formed seat-pairs, by the way everyone reacted to me being sat next to Karin you would've thought I'd just wined and dined the damn girl.
I could sense a few pairs of eyes on me that didn't like it, It was always a few girls—even a guy occasionally each year that that followed me around in pursuit of a romantic connection, one even went as far as to stalk my house until my brother had to call authorities. few of them were ever satisfied when I made it clear I was uninterested, I could feel things being stirred up in Karin's mind every time I even got near a girl.
"Everyone, back to work and stay silent as some are doing retakes" Kakashi called out with his romance novel in hand.
I already finished all my work, and didn't see the appeal of waiting around to get something done like Naruto, so I just decided to take a nap.
Just as I'd sinked into a dream I'd been pulled out of it, what was it now?
"Sakura and Gaara, the school rules are against conversing while others are doing retakes." Kakashi said as if he was trying to sound like he cared and less like he was just pulled out from an interesting point in his book.
I turned my head that still resided on my arms, only to see Gaara and Sakura, who resided on the far left of the room.
My eyes narrowed in confusion. She was giving him something, what was it? He returned with a look that made her giggle. What could he have possibly said that was so funny? I wasn't laughing.

Sakuras POV -
15 minutes had passed and homeroom finally ended, and while everyone waited for Guy Sensei to arrive for second period, the door suddenly creaked open, and out came a tall, beautiful, blonde woman.
