Me: Hi everybody! Welcome to my very first Fanfic, I am very happy to be sharing it with all of you. This story is very special and it's based on True events. It is basically the love life of a good friend of mine, Olivia. With a few alterations
Olivia: Hi people! waves
Me: I kept telling her that her and her Boyfriend were a fanfiction writers dream come true. I swear these 2 are the real life Gaara and Sakura! Every time she told me something new about her relationship I would go weak at the knees and say "omg that's so perfect!" because almost everything these two really does fit so perfectly!
Olivia: At least that's what she keeps telling me doesn't watch or like Naruto
Sakura: Is this girl really so much like me?
Me: Oh Sakura! When did you get here? Never mind. Sakura I want to you meet Olivia! Olivia meet Sakura!
Sakura: It's nice to meet you
Olivia: So you're the one playing me?
Sakura: Yeah blush that's me!
Me: Aww YAY! I'm so happy you two met! Now on with the story! Sakura! do the thing
Sakura: is confused What thing?
Me: You know the thing that's says how I don't own Naruto, I forget what it's called
Sakura: Oh that thing, Ok Liz-san does not own Naruto or any of the characters from Naruto
Me: Cause if I did, Gaara and Sakura would be married with two kids by now! :D
Sakura: -- no comment
Olivia: -- why are we friends again?
-Thoughts-
-Inner-
Every human being on this planet has wants and needs. From the time we are born you want to be taken care of and you need attention. Babies cry to get these things but what do adults do? As we grow older we still want these things but to a lesser degree, but some will do whatever it takes to get these things, while others give up hope and shut themselves off from the world. But these are two extremes, most just go about their daily lives hoping that the one thing they want the most will happen someday.
Now what happens when the norm meets the extreme?
Beginnings
Our story begins with Sakura, a normal 16 year old girl. For the most part.
Beep beep beep beep beep beep CRASH!
"Morning already?" Sakura moaned into her pillow, not wanting to get up. It was the first day of school and she would be starting as a junior this year.
'Get your lazy ass up! It's the first day of school! YAYS!'screamed her inner self. No Sakura isn't crazy, her inner is like her subconscious mind, her loud, obnoxious, annoying, fangirl-ish sub conscious mind.
'Since when are you excited about school?'asked Sakura
'Since it's the first day! The first day of school is always so exciting, DUH!'
'The first day of school stopped being exciting after last year.' Thought Sakura as she crawled out of the warm fuzzy blankets.
It felt cold without the blankets so she quickly got into the shower, the nice warm shower. She only had an hour to get ready so she finished up her shower quickly. When she got out it was cold again. She quickly changed into the clothes she laid out the night before, she put on a white cami then a red lacy one over it and a tight black hoodie that hugged her chest
'have to make them look bigger somehow' she thought as she smiled.
'Hells yeah! That's what I'm talking about! Way to show off the goods! I'm rubbing off on you you know.' said her inner self grinning like a fool, Sakura just frowned and tried to ignore the voice in her head. That's sounds so wrong.
She finished the outfit off with her favorite pair of dark blue jeans and black flip flops. Pleased with her outfit she made her way to the bathroom to dry her hair and apply some make up.
Now Sakura wasn't the prettiest girl in school but she had a certain charm, she had light pink hair that was cut right above her shoulders, light green eyes and a very pale complexion. She never liked being this pale, she was the only one in her family with pale skin and she always burned so easily.
"Damn you pale skin" she thought aloud.
Looking herself over once more, she went down stairs to wait for Naruto and maybe grab some breakfast. She looked at the clock in the kitchen,
"So if its 7:10 now, that means I have 15 minutes to eat before Naruto gets here." She said aloud. She made herself a bowl of cereal placed it on the counter and began to eat. She didn't bother to sit down instead she leaned against the counter and enjoyed her honey nut cheerios.
-sound of phone vibrating on counter-
She opened her phone and read the message,
I'm outside. –Naruto
She placed her bowl in the sink, "I'm leaving mom!"
She yelled as she ran out the door. She heard her mother say something but opted to ignore it, she'd be fine on her own.
In the drive way was her good friend Naruto, flashing one of his goofy smiles her way. She smiled at his innocence. Naruto and Sakura had been close friends since as far back as she could remember; they were almost like brother and sister. He helped her to become a stronger and more independent person and she had always been there to help him through his bad times. At first glance Naruto was a lovable care free guy.
She hoped into the front seat and put on her seat belt, Naruto looked like his usual goofy self, he had on a black t-shirt with some kind of band logo on it Sakura didn't recognize, and an orange hoodie over it with the sleeves pushed up. Not to mention his favorite pair of old ripped up dark jeans and black skater shoes, DC's I think.
"Good morning start shine," She said in a sing song voice.
And Naruto replied "the earth says hello!" they laughed at their stupid joke
"So how was your summer!?" he asked as he put the car into reverse and pulled out of the driveway.
"Awesome."
"Nice."
"Sweet."
"Cool."
"I SAID GOOD DAY SIR!" she said in a fake British accent
stare
stare
The pair suddenly burst out laughing once again at their stupid joke, no one else but they would get. (A/N: YAY INSIDE JOKES!)
"AWW Naruto! I missed you so!" she said as she hugged her friend
"Hey, quit it!" he said half laughing, the car swerving "You're gonna make me crash!" still laughing
"OOooh I so sorry! Please forgive me!" she said in a stupid voice with big-old anime teary eyes
He giggled "Aww I missed you to Sakura!"
The rest of the drive was filled with summer stories, Sakura had spent most of her time at her cousin's house, going to the beach and involving herself in her cousin's dramatic life. A normal summer. Naruto spent his summer at the same camp he's been going to since he was about six. It was a unique camp for kids in bad situations, foster kids and single parent children mostly. It was a chance for him to meet with kids in the same situation he was in; the common ground gave them something in common, in theory.
Naruto told his stories most of the drive, and he was just finishing up a story about some kind of prank he pulled on his younger bunk mates when they pulled up to the school.
"I'll tell you one thing I didn't miss," She made a disgusted face. "this school." She said gesturing to the school with both hands, making the movement as dramatic as possible.
"I thought you liked the first day of school? You did last year, You got so excited you glommed me in the Lobby!" He said, laughing to himself as he remembered the memory.
"Well times change, and I'm a new person!" Sakura said, punching her fist into the air, hitting the roof of the car. "owwy!"
Naruto laughed as he got out of the car, Sakura shook her hand to work the kink out of it as she followed his example and got out of the car. They started to walk toward the school
"Speaking of change, I like the hair." He said nonchalantly.
She pulled out a strand to look at it, "You like it? You don't think it's to, ya know, drastic?"
"Maybe a little, I mean last year your hair was down to the small of your back! It is a little drastic, but I like it better like this." He said, smiling to reassure her.
"Aww thankies!" she said lightly punching his arm.
At this point they had made it to the school's lobby. It was a big open area, almost the size of the gym, it held the visitors' desk to the left side as well as the doors to the auditorium, to the right was a hallway and at the end of the room facing to door was another hallway. The lobby held trophy cases for various sports and clubs as well and in the corner were the water fountains and not fare from them wear a few benches for student to use before school and during free period. Sitting on one of the benches, snoring might I add, was Shikamaru, Sakura's older and lazier friend. This was a normal occurrence, Sakura sat on one side of him and Naruto on the other. They both looked at each other exchanging a nod, Naruto started to mouth to Sakura "one, two, three…"
"WAKE UP PINAPPLE HEAD!" they each screamed into one of Shikamaru's ears. He eyes fluttered open as if someone had simply nudged him, stretched both arms up and then yawned. He was wearing brown long pants, a button up green shirt with a grey shirt underneath and his favorite pair of brown boots. His hair was tied up in a pony tail with a few stray pieces out. (A/N: I used my brother as inspiration for his outfit, picture something that Hyde from that 70's show would wear)
"What was that for?" he asked in a drowsy voice.
"We aren't even in class yet and he's nodding off." Naruto said in a mock-disapproving tone.
"Please," Sakura said waving her hand in front of her face, "it's not like he needs to pay attention anyway. He could have graduated 2 years ago, but NO! 'It would be too troublesome!' am I right?"
Shikamaru was in a grade above Naruto and Sakura, in fact he was older then everyone in his class. When Shikamaru was in preschool he was like he is now, smart but lazy. He didn't pay attention to his teachers, and even at a young age his genius was obvious, but he was as I said lazy. Unfortunately for him his teachers' only paid attention to this quality and in the end decided he should repeat preschool. He was now the only nineteen year old still in school.
"That's right, WAY too troublesome." He agreed with her.
They both laughed and Shikamaru joined in as well.
"Hey Naruto!" a voice called from across the room
"Huh?" Naruto turned to see who called him, at the main entrance walking toward them was Kiba, waving and smiling like an idiot. Close behind him was Hinata, looking as if she was trying to hide, and on his other side was Shino, being all quiet.
"Kiba! Hinata! What's up guys!?" He yelled across the room flailing his arms like an idiot.
Kiba caught Naruto in a bear hug and said "How was your summer dude!"
Escaping the awkward man hug, "It was good Kiba!"
"Naruto."
Shivers went up naruto's spine as the boy behind Kiba said his name
"Oh Shino, hey h-how's it going?" he asked in a sheepish tone that said 'please don't hurt me'
"I noticed you didn't call my name from across the room."
"Oh, uuhhh, s-sorry dude." He said in the same tone as before
"ummm…………..uhhh…hi n-naruto-kun, how a-are you?" said Hinata in the quietest, shyest tone ever. Hinata was the sweetest girl you'd ever meet; she had this wonderful giving quality about her that rubbed off on almost everyone she met. She was wearing a pair of light skinny jeans and her favorite white and purple hoodie, Her hair was a dark purple and she liked to wear it down and To top it all off she had the most beautiful eye's you'd ever seen, they had practically no pupil and were the lightest shade of purple ever, almost white.
"Huh? Oh HINATA! Did you say something?" Naruto asked getting all up and close to her face.
"uummm……" faint
"OHH Hinata! What happened?" Naruto asked in an alarmed tone as Kiba caught her before she face planted the floor.
"Naruto you're so oblivious." Everyone said in unison (except Shino)
Naruto had a confused look on his face and the group just laughed. After some small talk on the benches homeroom bell rang and they all hurried to get to class. Excluding Shikamaru (senior remember?) they all had the same homeroom. Iruka-sensei was their HR teacher, as well as the head of the math department, he usually taught younger classes but he had grown attached to this particular group so he requested to teach a more advanced math class so he could continue to teach some of his favorite students. They walked into homeroom to find the rest of their friends plus a few others.
"Well if it isn't forehead girl! How's it going?" Said Sakura's previous friend. She was dressed as sluty as Sakura remembered, she had Long Bleach blond hair tied up in a pony tail, A purple sleeve less shirt with a white cami underneath, a purple mini skirt to match it and silvery flip flops. Not to mention all the silver jewelry she had on and the massive amount of makeup on her face. The outfit showed a lot of cleave and way too much skin, and she knew it.
"Shut up Ino-pig! It's not like you actually care." She said the first part in a mocking tone but half way through her statement she remembered the promise she made to herself last year
'I can't let her get to me and I can't show her any emotions she can pick on.'
The second half of her statement was flat and monotone.
"What ever bitch, you're right I could care less how you're feeling, right Sasuke-kun!" Ino said turning to a boy with black hair who seemed to not be paying attention at all. He was wearing a blue t-shirt with a white button up shirt over it, the shirt was open, the collar was popped and the sleeves were rolled up, he also wore a pair of dark jeans and white sneakers.
"Hn." Was all he said
'Sasuke.'
'Let's kick his ass!' Said her inner self while cracking her knuckles
She ignored her inner ranting and did her best to ignore the obnoxious Ino and the bastard she once loved, Sasuke.
She took a seat near the back and Naruto followed and sat in front of her instantly turning around with a look on his face that said 'What was all that about?'. She shook her head and wisper to him
"We'll talk abou it later." Naruto knowing when not to pry in to Sakura's life, nodded and turned around to play paper football with kiba.
With out realizing it she had sat was two seats away from Sasuke and she didn't like it, Hinata being the ultra perceptive girl she is took a seat in between her and Sasuke and gave her friend a warm smile
'Thank god for friends like Hinata.' She thought smiling back and mouthing the words 'thank you.'
The rest of her friends sat down leaving an open seat to her right. She liked it when the seat next to her was empty it meant she didn't have to put her books on the floor. Sakura loved to draw and read, so books were her life. Even though it was the first day of school she already had a notebook to take random notes in, her sketch book, the book she happened to be reading at the time and her pencil case. She placed the books on the desk next to her and settled in for another first day of home room. You see on the first day of school homeroom is extended so announcements for the year can be made and so the fresh man can get a chance to explore the halls before they unleash the rest of the students on them. It was an extra half hour they had to sit there but it didn't matter, she took out a random piece of paper and began drawing whatever came to mind.
She was just finishing up a pair of passionate looking eyes when Naruto turned around and said,
"Hey Sakura I forgot to ask before, let me see your schedule! I want to see what classes we have together!"
That's right she had almost forgotten all about her schedule,
"Sure Naruto, here." She handed it to him without a second thought.
He scanned the schedule looking from hers to his,
Her schedule went something like this
Period 1 – Calculus - Iruka
Period 2 – Wood Shop – Jiraiya
Period 3 – English Literature - Kakashi
Period 4 – Adv Art - Anko
Period 5/6 – Adv Biology 2 – Orochimaru
Period 6/7 – Lunch/Free period
Period 8 – Gym – Gai
Period 9 – Computer Development 2 - Asuma
Period 10 – Psychology 1 – Ibiki
(A/N: periods 5/6/7 are half periods/lunch periods. Under classmen have lunch period 5 then have a class period 6/7 and vice-versa for the upper classmen, lunch 7 and class 5/6)
"Wow Sakura, Well we have Lunch and gym together, and surprisingly Wood shop? Why did you choose that class?" Naruto asked a bit confused.
"Well Remember in middle school when wood shop was a requirement? Well I really liked working with wood then so I thought I'd try it out. Pus I had an extra open slot." She said shrugging
"Well ok, but not only that, almost all these classes are advanced! You sure you can handle it?"
"Of course I can!" She snapped back a bit hurt, didn't her believe in her?
"I'm sorry Sakura! Please forgive me! Grovel, grovel, grovel." He pleaded as he bowed in an exaggerated manner
"Ok fine, all is forgiven! Now stop that, it's embarrassing!" She said trying to hide the giggle that was welling up in her throat.
"YAY!" Naruto said thrusting his arms into the air
"Naruto quiet down!" said a pissed off female voice
"Sorry Grandma-Tsunade!"
"Naruto how many times do I have to tell you? When in school you address me as Tsunade-sama. I am your principal after all." She said in a matter-a-fact tone.
"sorry." He mumbled
"Anyway, as I was saying before Naruto's outburst, Tsunade-sama has an important announcement for you all so please give her you undivided attention." Iruka said very professional like
"Thank you Iruka for that lovely introduction." She said, turning to Iruka and nodding her head in thanks, then turning back to the class and clearing her throat, "First I'd like to say welcome to your first year as upper class-men, I hope you enjoyed the first half of your high school lives because it only gets better from here." She smiled deviously
"Second I'd like to introduce a new student to you all. He's just moved here from Suna and is very apprehensive. I'm sure you'll welcome him and do your best to help him fit in." Tsunade smiled at the class but the students just stared back like they could care less.
"Right then, I'm sure you'll all help me in welcoming your new friend and class mate……………….."
