Married to Sasuke Uchiha [COMPLETED]

Chapter 9 - My Heart Beats Fast

Sakura was kind of nervous... because it was Juugo's turn.

"Sooooo.... since the guys are in the other room, and we're alone, do you wanna do something?" Juugo winked at her.

"Can we please stay focused on the assignments, please?" Sakura asked quietly.

"Why? It's much more interesting if we-,"

"Juugo, please" Sakura interrupted, not wanting to hear his dirty jokes.

Juugo grinned at her uncomfortable expression.  

"Sure. Anything for you, beautiful," he replied, causing Sakura to blush.

He opened the Calculus book, flipping to the page where Sakura needs help on.

'Calculus, huh? I wonder if he's good at it. He doesn't seem like the type to be an expert at Math...' Sakura thought, while opening her notebook.

She was a bit surprised to see his serious face. She's never seen him without a goofy smile.

"So... for the first problem, do you know the definition of derivatives?"

Sakura shooked her head. She nearly gaped when Juugo stated the definition in such a complicated terms. He seemed like a totally different person.

"Wait, wait, the way you're explaining it is too hard. Can you put it in simpler words?" Sakura was struggling to take notes on what he was saying.

Juugo laughed and nodded. "Ok. Wow, you're really slow at this, huh?" he explained it again, this time, using easier terms and words. 

"You're really good at all this... how do you memorize all the formulas and definitions?" Sakura blinked amused by how intelligent he actually was.

"It's not that hard. You just gotta pay attention and do your work." Juugo shrugged.

"I do, but I still don't get it," Sakura pouted.

"...someone as beautiful as you should succeed academically, Sakura." Juugo smirked at her. "... and you should succeed physically, as well," he eyed her, up and down.

Sakura blushed and looked away uncomfortably.

Juugo lauged. "Just kidding. Ok, well..." he let out a sigh and his face became serious again.

"Let's just finish up this problem, then you should try solving a few."

It was Sai's turn. Sakura had never really talked with him before, so she sat quietly and awkwardly, listening to him.

"You're awfully quiet, Sakura." Sai suddenly stated.

"Oh, well... I'm just listening to you, so... I think it'll be rude if I just talk and interrupt you," Sakura muttered.

"You're very polite. I'd expect you to be talkative, like whenever you're with Sasuke..."

Sakura made a small smile at him.

"It's just that I've never really talked with you before, so I have nothing to say."

Sai stared at he for a while, making the smile on her face disappear slowly.

'Why do they always stare at me like that?' Sakura avoided his gaze

She gasped in surprise when Sai swept back a piece of hair behind her ear, and a shiver went down to her spine when his finger brushed gently against he cheek.
