Ch. 1: New School

Sakura was rushing to get her bags and boxes together. She left today for her new home. Sakura was more than happy to leave her old one. She had no friends…and all because of the way she looked.

'Damn glasses. I always get made fun of because they're so ugly.'

Sakura finished packing her last bag and pulled on an oversized sweater and a pair of oversized track pants. Maybe she'd change her image this year. Personally, she didn't see why it mattered. She loved how comfortable her clothes were. Some people were just assholes she supposed. Sakura had stopped trying to please people after her father left when she was five, taking every penny her mother had earned with him. Her mother had worked hard to get back in business. She now owned a chain of Interior Decorating services. She even did some of the designs herself, leaving for trips, meetings, and things of that nature. Sakura of course stayed home. People often hired her to redo their house. Her mother was living her dream and Sakura stood by and let her do it. Sakura knew that she had been an accident, but not a mistake. Never had her mother said she was a mistake. She had lived the life of a mother until her father had left. Her mother went back to school, took up a few jobs, and is where she is today. Sakura's long black hair tangled around her face as she walked onto her balcony. She was going to miss her house, but the moved allowed her mom to get a better job and they paid for the house. The house of her mothers dreams…which Sakura hadn't seen yet. Sakura sighed.

'Maybe people in Konoha won't care what I look like.' 'When pigs fly and hell freezes over maybe. Weren't you even listening to our mom?' 'Not really.' 'Well, there are a lot of people who practice karate and shit. Looks probably mean everything to them.'

Sakura glared at an innocent tree. She was pretty sure that if she ever hit anyone she would do damage. She wasn't weak like most of the girls here, but she was a lover, not a fighter. That's why she had taken their shit for so long. The mental, physical, and verbal abuse had yet to wear her down, but it made her stronger. Although, at times her patience had been tested.

"Sakura! Are you ready?!"

"Yes mom! I'm coming!"

When Sakura walked down the stairs with her baggy black shirt and baggy red track pants, her mom gave her a weird look.

"Why do you always wear such bulky clothing?"

"It's comfortable."

"Oh…maybe we should get you a new…"

"Mom! Don't even finish that sentence!"

"I'm just saying. I mean, you're 17 and you've not even had a boyfriend yet. That's not normal for a girl your age Sakura."

"Have I ever been normal?"

"…Good point."

"Hey!"

Her mom gave her a smile and Sakura slipped on her shoes. When she was done, she looked at her house for the last time before bounding out onto the sidewalk. That was when she saw Katrina Meadows and Julie Ball walking toward her. As they girl passed her, they laughed about her clothes. Sakura was so tired of being pushed around. When the girls stopped a few steps away from her and continued to laugh, Sakura whipped around. Sakura's mom took a few steps back because the glare she gave the girls scared even her.

"Hey! Stop making fun of me you twats!"

"It's not my fault if you look huge in those clothes. Those paired with your giant forehead are enough to make…"

She didn't get to finish because Sakura punched her right in the nose. She flew back and landed of her ass.

"You broke my nose!"

"It would be an improvement! Maybe it won't stick up in the air so much!"

"God! It's not my fault that you have to hide your horrible looking body!" she whined.

"Horrible looking body? HA!"

Sakura looked around her at the people who had circled them. Most of them were people who made fun of her and a few were people who didn't even know she existed.

"Well, what are you hiding anyway?! Are you so ugly or made hideously scarred?" Julie laughed.

Sakura was pissed. She kicked off her shoes, pulled her pants off and then threw her shirt with it. She stood there in her panties and bra. Her body was toned and she was rather hot if you could get past her glasses. A few of the guys whistled, but most of the onlookers gawked. She smiled at the girls.

"It means that a lot of people like my body. I had nothing to hide."

Sakura pulled her clothes back on and glared at the two girls.

"Next time you pick on a girl, make sure she can't kick your ass."

Sakura walked to the car with her mom and hopped in. She screamed out the window as they drove by the crowd of 'popular' people who used to tease her.

"Have a great time finding someone else to pick on fuckers!"

She flipped them off and rolled up her window. She looked at her mother who was smiling.

"Feel better?" she asked.

"Hell yes! I showed them and I got to break her nose!" 'CHA!'

"I'm proud of you. Don't let people pick on you at your ne school okay? I'm not going to get mad if you get suspended for kicking ass."

"Really? Thanks mom!"

"You're welcome. Now, we are flying first class and the trip will take about…five hours."

"Awesome. I'll just get some drawing in."

Six hours later, Sakura arrived at her new house. It was dark red and black, had three stories, two balconies, a greenhouse, and a swimming pool in the backyard. The backyard was covered in weeping willows and Sakura trees. The greenhouse was filled with Lilies, Roses, Baby's Breath, Devil's Ivy, and Rubber Trees. Sakura had to appreciate the beauty of the outside, but the inside was amazing. The foyer split in three directions, one leading to the living room and the other to the kitchen and one leading up a staircase. The living room was large and contained knickknacks, some of Sakura's drawing and paintings, a big screen plasma TV, a pool table, a black couch, a black loveseat, a stone fireplace, and the walls were white and the carpet red. It had a set of French doors that led into the dinning room. The dinning room had a stone fireplace, two cabinets full of good China and silver, a small crystal chandelier, lace curtains, and an antique table and chair set made with Mahogany wood and stained to a dark brown. As her mom talked to one of the cooks in the kitchen, she ventured upstairs. She found her room on the second floor. Her walls were painted turquoise, her carpet black, it had one large, walk-in closet, three windows, a large bed with silk turquoise sheets, a bathroom, and a balcony. She opened the doors to the balcony and stepped outside. Her room faced the backyard and it was breathtaking. Her mother had put her telescope out there, a futon with a small blanket and a pillow, and a black loveseat. She already liked the house. As she gazed out, she closed her eyes, removed her glasses, and let the wind whip her hair around. As she leaned on the balcony, she could hear her mother explaining how the servants were to clean, their wages, etc. Sakura opened her eyes and slipped her glasses back on and walked inside. She checked out her mom's bedroom and then walked up to the attic. Her mom had set up her art supplies, plus new ones, here.

"Do you think this will be okay for your studio?" her mother asked from behind her.

"My studio?"

"Yep. I couldn't think of anything to do with this attic and I thought 'Heck, why not let Sakura paint up here?'" She smiled at her daughter.

"Thanks mom!" Sakura hugged her.

"Wait I have a surprise!"

She pushed a button on the wall and part of the attic's roof opened up to reveal a skylight.

"I thought it would give you better lighting."

"THANK YOU!" Sakura screamed and hugged her mom fiercely.

Her mom laughed and hugged her back. As they walked downstairs, Sakura realized that her stuff had been put away.

"Who put our stuff up?"

"The servants. I gave them the rest of the day off. I'm going to get some sleep and so should you. You were up all night drawing."

"Okay."

Sakura walked into her bed room and found her sleeping shirt. She quickly changed into the old, clingy shirt that just covered her underwear. It fit to her curves perfectly and moved with her. It was so comfortable. Her only problem was her breasts. They had been growing again and she was already in a D cup. Anymore and she'd have to get a breast reduction. Sakura slipped into her sheets and listened for her mom to do the same. A few hours later, Sakura woke up when she heard the bell. She quickly got up and ran do the stairs. She ran her fingers through her hair and pulled her shirt down. When she answered the door, she was greeted by a black haired boy. He was hot. Sakura smiled at him and he stared at her.

"My I help you?" she asked sweetly.

He just stared at the girl in front of him. Her shirt was clingy and short, barely covering her and her hair was sleep mussed. The only thing wrong with the picture was the glasses. They were attractive, but they hid her eyes.

"I'm Itachi Uchiha. I live next door."

"Oh! Hello! I'm Sakura Haruno."

"Are you living here by yourself?"

"God no! My mom lives with me." Sakura giggled a little.

"Maybe I should have come by later." he said gesturing toward her clothes.

"Sorry, I just woke up." she blushed.

"Well, I'm going to come back when your mom is awake and I'll bring my brother too…if I can pull him out of the house. How old are you? I didn't know Ms. Haruno had a daughter."

"17. I guess I was a surprise then." she smiled again.

"Yep. I definitely got a surprise."

Sakura smiled and said goodbye. He assured her that he would come by later. Then it dawned on Sakura.

'Was he flirting with me?!' 'I…think he was!'

Sakura squealed. He was hot and he had a brother. She wondered who else she would meet later. Her mom walked down the stairs in an elegant gown.

"Where are you going sexy mama?" Sakura said.

"I have a date with a client. She could be my biggest account this year!"

"Goody. I have met the neighbor's son…er…one of them."

"You answered the door in your old shirt didn't you?" her mom laughed.

"Yep…"

Their conversation was interrupted by the bell. Sakura answered the door while her mother put on her earrings. She heard her mother hiss in pain.

"Ouch, ouch!"

"Hold on and I'll help you mom."

Sakura answered the door and it was Itachi and the boy she assumed to be Sasuke.

"Hi again. Could you hold on just a sec?"

"Sure."

Sakura turned around and Itachi and Sasuke checked out her well rounded ass. As she reached up to untangle the earring from her mother's curls an ungodly amount of toned leg was shown to them. They were basically drooling by the time she turned back around.

"You must be Sasuke. It's nice to meet you. I'm Sakura." she smiled and extended her hand, which he shook. "I thought you were going to come back later?"

"I forgot what I came over here to do." he rubbed the back of his head.

"Oh Itachi! Are you here for the pool boy position?"

"Yep, can I have it?" he asked smiling.

"Sure. Did you brother want a job too?"

"Yep."

"He can help you. Well, that fills all the positions, even the lawn mower. So we'll be seeing you two everyday and your starting wages are $150 per week. Sound fair?"

"Yes, maybe you're paying a little too much though…"

"Nonsense. You'll be balancing school and your job. Plus, you'll both be going off to college soon."

"Thank you Ms. Haruno."

"You're welcome. Sakura, I'll be back sometime after 2 AM."

"Okay. Have fun!" she shouted as her mom ran toward the car. Sakura laughed. "She's crazy."

"What are you going to be doing tonight?" asked Itachi.

"The same thing I do every night…paint." Sakura giggled.

"How about you come out with us instead?" suggested Sasuke.

"Depends, where are we going and do you care what I wear?"

"To the mall and no, we don't care. But you'll have to meet our friends." said Itachi.

"Mmm…okay. What time do we leave?"

"In a hour." said Sasuke.

"Okay then. See you in an hour."

Sakura shut the door and ran up the stairs.

"What to wear! WHAT TO WEAR!"

Sakura looked through her clothes and noticed something that wasn't there before. A late birthday gift from her mom. She took the outfit out of her closet and looked at it. The shirt was black. The skirt was black, reached mid-thigh, and flowed out in a way that would perfectly frame her long legs. Normally Sakura would touch stuff like this, but she liked the outfit. She also noticed the shoes that went with it. Black, 3 inch heel wedge shoes that laced up to mid-calf. She ran into her bathroom, staring in awe at the marble sink and the red and black swirl tiles. She quickly took off her shirt and panties and turned on the water. She walked back into her room and grabbed her black bra and black Tonga panties. She quickly sat them down with the rest of her clothes and jumped into the shower. After she had washed her body and hair, she jumped out of the shower. She wrapped a towel around her head and dried her body off. She put her glasses back on looked in her medicine cabinet. There was a note:

Sakura,

It's been so long since I've seen you looking normal. You always wear those baggy things and hid your pretty face behind those glasses. I bought you some contacts. Please use them. They are clear so everyone can see those beautiful emerald green eyes. Please!

Love,

Mom

She picked up the contacts and took off her glasses as she put the contacts in, she realized that her mom had bought those new really expensive contacts that didn't dry out and didn't irritate the eye. She silently thanked her mom and looked at the other objects in the cabinet. Red, pink, and a mocha colored lipsticks, smoky gray, black, lilac, and an assortment of brown eye shadows, black eyeliner and mascara, and a box. Sakura picked up the box and opened it. It was a heart pendant that was lined with emeralds and sapphires. Sakura gawked and sat the bow down.

'Wow, mom sure is making up for missing my birthday last week.'

Sakura let her hair down and brushed it till it was silky to the touch. She put on her clothes and shoes then did her make-up; smoky gray eye shadow, black eyeliner, red lipstick, and black mascara. When Sakura was finished, she looked in the full length mirror. She looked completely different!

"Wow…I look…hot." she said somewhat stunned. "I guess I should change my look. I think I'll actually go shopping while at the mall."

Sakura walked down the stair and grabbed the money her mom left her on the counter. Sakura counted it and was shocked.

'$300! Wow. The job really must have been good. We've never had money like this!'

Sakura put the money in her bra (Yes her bra) and walked into the kitchen. She grabbed a coke and a granola bar. Just as she was about to sit down, the bell rang. She opened her granola bar on the way to open the door. She took a bite and opened the door to see a younger male with red hair, jade eyes, and a kanji love symbol tattooed on his head. (In this story he has eyebrows!) Sakura couldn't help but stare. He was gorgeous! All sweaty and chiseled with his shirt slung over his shoulder…

"C-can I help you?" she stammered.

"I'm Gaara…I mow your lawn."

"Oh…would you like to come in and have a coke?"

He nodded his head and Sakura led him into the kitchen and grabbed a coke, handing it to him. He gulped it down. Sakura didn't blame him, it had to be at least 80 degrees outside and they had a lot of land. Sakura wet one of the washcloths for the kitchen and handed it to him.

"Thanks."

"You're welcome. Were you coming to see my mom?"

"Yes. I was going to tell her that I'm finished, but I guess she left?"

"Yeah, she does that a lot." Sakura laughed.

"So, who are you?"

"I'm Sakura, her daughter. And you are?"

"Gaara."

"Nice to meet you."

Sakura led him into the living room and he studied the pictures on the wall.

"Who are these pictures by? They're very good."

"Thank you. They're mine."

"Who's this? She's hot." he pointed to a picture of Sakura in her comfortable clothes.

"That's me 99.9 of the time."

"No kidding? Well, then I guess I should say you're hot." he smiled at her.

"Thank you." she blushed.

"So, are you trying out a new look?"

"Sorta. I'm just wearing this out tonight."

"Oh yeah? Where are you going?"

"The mall with some guys I just met."

"Itachi and Sasuke."

"Yeah, are you their friend?"

"Yep. Seems like they got to you before me though."

Sakura just gaped at him while he looked at her art.

'Damn! The hot guys in Konoha are nice! What the hell is going on?'

"I saw you on the balcony. You looked content and beautiful and definitely comfortable in your clothes."

"I…uh…thank you." Sakura blushed more. Gaara laughed a little.

"You're even cuter when you blush."

At his words, Sakura blushed more. Gaara just laughed a little and slipped his shirt on.

"Well, I have to get going. I can't go out looking like this." he gestured to his grass stained pants.

"O-okay."

"I'll see you tonight Sakura."

He waved and walked out her front door, closing it. Sakura gaped and felt a tingle run up her spine. There was something about the way he said her name. This was definitely going to be one hell of an interesting year.
