Reckless.

Chapter 6

Walking down the stairs of her home the next morning, Sakura tried to play off the fact that she was so sore, as she heard the distinctive laugher of her mother and Mikoto. They both had been spending a lot of time together, and Sakura assumed they were getting ready for their yoga class.
"Good morning." She said to them with a bright smile. "Morning, Sakura, Sasuke wanted me to tell you that he will be giving you a ride to school."

"Okay, Mikoto. Thanks for letting me know."
"Of course, please scold him for me if he speeds, I've tried to tell him to stop." She said, making Sakura laugh as she prepared a breakfast smoothie for herself. "I'll try my best."
"By the way, Mom, I'm going to be late today, because after practice the girls and I are staying for the boys football game, then going to a movie afterwards."

Her mother nodded and said, "Okay, just don't get home too late. Don't you have a midterm in Calculus soon? That grade needs to come up, Sakura." Her saying that made her want to roll her eyes.
"Sasuke could help you study if you need it." Mikoto offered and just as she parted her lips to decline the offer, Mebuki nodded and said, "She needs as much help as she can get in Calculus." Making Mikoto laugh, and Sakura do the same sarcastically. "Then maybe you could help him in AP Chemistry, he stays up all night doing the homework."

Sakura was slightly surprised when she said that. Sasuke seemed like the type of guy to never have trouble in anything. "We could definitely work something out." Sakura said making Mikoto smile,
"I hope so, because if you don't bring that B up to an A, you can kiss your GPA goodbye." Resisting the urge to roll her eyes, Sakura said, "I know, Mom, I'm on it."

Almost as if on cue, Sasuke text her say that he was waiting out front. "Bye mom, bye Mikoto." She said, before grabbing her backpack from the linen closet, and walking out the front door. Sasuke leaned against his car in front of her home, looking her up and down as she walked toward him.
The wind blew, making her rub her arms as she wore her favorite pair of black thigh high boots, with a cute black skirt. Grabbing her hand, he kissed it before saying. "You look beautiful."
"Thanks Sasuke, you don't look too bad yourself." She said lowly, as he opened the passenger side door for him.

With his hand on her thigh, he asked her, "How are you feeling?"
"Just a little sore." She answer, and he squeezed her thigh slightly. "I'm surprised that your mom didn't notice that hickey."
"Same to you." Sakura said, referring to his bruised throat, "My mother was too busy celebrating about my brother being home from college."
"You have a brother? What's he like?" Sasuke shrugged, "Annoying."
"How old is he?"

"Just 21, he recently got engaged and he's coming home to meet her parents."
"He's so young." She said, and he just shrugged. "He says he's in love, which I believe." Sakura smiled a little, "Well that's always nice." His thumb caressed her soft thigh, as Sasuke drove and parked in the school parking lot. While Sasuke walked around to open the passenger door, and Sakura noticed everyone's gaze upon them. "Everyone always stares at you." Sakura said. "And now they're staring at us."
"I don't know how you do it." Throwing his backpack over his shoulders he said, "Ignore them."

The pair walked into school, while talking about nothing in particular. Sakura looked from Sasuke's face, to down the hall, where she seen Hinata and Naruto. As he had his arm over her shoulder, and they both wore their matching varsity jackets, Sakura couldn't help but have the urge to reach for Sasuke's hand.
"You guys are too cute." Sakura said, making Hinata blush and Naruto smile. "Teme, you got lucky with Sakura, don't fuck it up."

Before they could object, and tell him that they weren't dating, the bell rang, signaling that it was time for them to get to class. Naruto kissed Hinata's forehead, and told her that he'd see her later, while Sasuke simply nodded in Sakura's direction, before leaving.
Hinata and Sakura walked toward their separate chemistry classes, while talking about Hinata's date with Naruto. "I'm guessing that the date was incredible?"
