Outside Looking In
My POV:
"Ok ok breath. You can do this. It's time" I thought I was got ready to walk out onto the stage.
Out in the audience was the entire school. It was the school's senior talent show and everybody had to attend. I had made up my mind from the time I was a freshman that this was what I was going to do. What I wanted to do.
I clutched my old, ratty guitar in my hand. It's time to tell them. To let them see the hell they've all put me through. I had been working on my song for months and I finally got it down about two months ago.
"Our next act will be Miss Tenten." announced the school Principal Tsunade.
"Who's Tenten?" I heard a few girls whisper.
"I think she's talking about that Bun Haired Tomboy bitch." whispered a few others.
One last deep breath and I walked out on stages. A few kids booed and others snickered, but I ignored them like always. I sat down on the stool and took the mic off the stand.
I looked into the crowd and immediately starting picking out faces. I spotted the only two people in this school who had ever shown any kindness at all towards me; Lee and Hinata. Though I could hardly call them my friends. All they had done was show a friendly jester here or there. But it was better than everybody else.
Next to them were the people I could care less for in this wide world, 'the Cliché' themselves. They're a group of 10 kids who ruled this school, even when we were freshman. They consisted of Neji (popular pompous jerk), Sasuke ('better than you all because I have a 16 inch pole up my ass), Sakura (Mrs. Know it all bitch), Ino (school slut), Naruto (school prankster), Shikamaru (lazy ass genius), Chouji (varsity football fat ass), Kiba (idiot playboy), and Shino (creepy silent type). Hinata also hangs out with them and makes the 10th member of their little group, but she's the school innocent, pure angel. Lee's just a ripped odd ball who's nice to everybody.
"This is a song I wrote. I hope those of you who give a damn about anyone other than yourself, will listen. As to everyone else, you can all go to hell for all I care, because no song is going to give you bastards a heart." I spoke in an even and somewhat bored tone and smirked.
That got them all quiet. I had to keep myself from laughing at their faces. I put the mic back on the stand, picked up my guitar off my lap, and started to play. As I started the first few chords I closed my eyes. I started to sing my song.
You don't know my name
"Not even I know" I thought.
You don't know anything about me
"Not like you even care"
I try to play nice
I want to be in your game
The things that you say
you may think I never hear about them
But word travels fast
I'm telling you to your face
I'm standing here behind your back
"Naruto and Sakura… I'm still not sure you're even aware that I was there behind you that day…"
You don't know how it feels
To be outside the crowd
You don't know what it's like
To be left out
And you don't know how it feels
To be your own best friend on the outside looking in
If you could read my mind
You might see more of me than meets the eye
"You might be surprised… It's amazing how quickly people judge others without even bothering to find out the truth."
And you've been all wrong
not who you think I am
you've never given me a chance
"I wish you were right, that I was just a loner and that I choose to be this way…"
You don't know how it feels
To be outside the crowd
You don't know what it's like
To be left out
And you don't know how it feels
To be your own best friend on the outside looking in
Well, I'm tired of staying at home
I'm bored and all alone
I'm sick of wasting all my time
"There are so many reasons why I don't want to go home. So many other reasons besides boredom, but do you care? NO!" I thought and I sang the chorus out louder and with even more feeling, putting all my pain and sadness into my words.
You don't know how it feels
to be outside the crowd
you don't know what it's like
to be left out
and you don't know how it feels
to be your own best friend on the outside looking in
You don't know how it feels
to be outside the crowd
you don't know what it's like
to be left out
and you don't know how it feels
to be your own best friend on the outside looking in
You don't know how it feels
to be outside the crowd
you don't know what it's like
to be left out
and you don't know how it feels
to be your own best friend on the outside looking in
With that I opened my eyes. Everyone was silent, staring at me. No one said a word, not even the kids who were booing at me before. Finally I stood up and took the mic into my hands. I had one final thing I wanted to say to them.
"Thank you Lee and Hinata. For being the only ones to ever show me any kindness what so ever." I said with the same impassive tone as before. I shrugged to everyone else and walked off the stage, and out the side doors.
I walked to my favorite place, the school fields. I put my guitar in my hiding place in one of the trees hidden by the surrounding hills. Then I turned and ran home, I couldn't afford a car and like hell my 'guardian' would ever do anything to help me.
I ran the 6 miles to my house without stopping even for a breath. They don't call me the school tomboy for no reason. I play just about every sport the school offers and I'm the star athlete of the school. Hell I can hold my own against Lee, who holds the title of the fastest kid the country.
I ran through the doors and immediately started my chores. I wasn't supposed to stay after school for the talent show. 'He' had forbidden me to, but seeing as I couldn't really give a damn about 'his' wants, I had decided that I was going to do what I wanted for once in my life. Now I just had to finish my chores before he got home and he wouldn't find out.
After working for a good three hours, I heard music across the street. I guess the Haruno's were throwing another party. I can't believe that bitch lives next door to me but hey what can you do? 'He' would be getting home soon and I still wasn't done. I had to hurry. I had no time to think about the 'populars' having their little party next door.
Kind of vague i kno
