Unhealing Wound

Chapter 2

As Sasuke sat in History class, he noticed the glances he kept receiving from his all-time crush, Sakura Haruno. He didn't know what to make of it. Every time he caught her starring, she wouldn't turn her head as he would when the roles were reversed. Instead, she would just give him an innocent smile. His heart would pound in his chest at the sight of it.

It was odd, yet satisfying. She'd certainly never looked at him this way before and just the fact that she was doing so now sent Sasuke's mind into a spiraling frenzy. He was curious to know why. Did she finally notice him in the way he wanted her to after all these years? Did she like him? Maybe he was thinking too much into it.

Mr. Hitake yawned as he gazed over his students. He then returned his attention back to his book as his shoes were propped up on top of the desk. He hated being a High School teacher. The students here were below average in intelligence, but then again most people were. He let out a sigh and began to speak.

"Take out a sheet of paper, fold it in half. We're taking Cornell notes."

Everyone in the classroom began to groan in dissatisfaction. Mr. Hatake narrowed his eyes. "Oh. Is it not enough?" Everyone then grew quiet and began to do as they were told. A satisfied smirk made it's way onto his face at his win.

"Title your paper, 'Repetitive Events of History'."

Just as Sasuke began writing down the words, he was tapped on the shoulder by the person sitting behind him. He turned around to face them and was handed a note. Confusion began to surface inside of him. It was unusual for Sasuke to receive notes from classmates. It could just be someone telling him to do their homework for them, but usually they would just meet up with him after school and threaten him to do it.

Sasuke looked up at Mr. Hitake to see if he was looking before gently unfolding the note. His breath hitched at what was written on the letter.

'Meet me by the bus stop after school

~Sakura'

He turned his attention to Sakura who was smiling at him. He smiled back with his heart pounding in his chest. Sasuke didn't know what to make of it. She wanted to talk to him? To Sasuke? He turned his head and looked at Deidara who sat two tables over from him. Deidara smiled at him. He knew how much Sasuke liked Sakura, so it brought him happiness to see her trying to interact with him.

When school was over, Sasuke stood at the bus stop in wait for the school bus. It wasn't long before Sakura jogged up next to him. She tilted her head at him and smiled, receiving a nervous smile in response.

"Hey."

Sasuke replied in a shaky voice, "..Hi."

Sasuke's nerves began to pile up. Sakura had never noticed him before. Not in the way he wanted her to and yet here she was. Speaking to him without even the slightest hint of disgust in her voice. He had never been so nervous in his life.

"Sasuke, right?"

Sasuke nodded. Hearing his name come out of her mouth made his heart flutter in satisfaction. Sakura smiled at him. "I'm Sakura." He nervously smiled back. "I.. I know who you are.. Everybody knows who you are." She began to giggle at this. "You're so cute."

Sasuke smiled shyly while rubbing the back of his head. How was he supposed to respond to his crush thinking he was cute?

"So, do you have a girlfriend?"

"N-no."

Was she going to ask him out? He began to panic when she grabbed hold of his hand and dragged him over to the side of the school building. She then began to unbutton her blouse which struck fear inside of Sasuke. What was she doing? When Sasuke tried to leave, she pulled him back over to the wall.
