Better Than Revenge

Waking up to the sound of her alarm, Sakura's right arm reaches over to her dresser to stop the alarm but felt nothing. 'Oh right, it's on the other table.' Opening up her beautiful emerald eyes looked at up the ceiling, closing them and opening them once again and got up.

Walking into her own, yet small bathroom, did her usual routine and went downstairs to only be sitting alone in the kitchen table. As the girl reaches the refrigerator and noticed a note on the top door.

"Sakura honey, your father and I had to go to work early. Breakfast is in the fridge so just heat it up! Have a good day at school honeybear! Love mom and dad!"

After eating her breakfast, Sakura went back upstairs and got changed for school. Looking into her full length mirror, grabbing a brush and brushed her pink locks which were two inches below her shoulder blades. Looking at herself once more and happy with the results, the girl grabs her school bag and heads out into the early Spring air.

As Sakura walks into the school front doors, she can see the usual people at their usual hang out spots and other already outside of their classrooms. Reaching her first period class, she feels a pair of strong arms wrapping around her waist.

"Sakura baby, where do you think you're going?"

Turning around, she sees Sai, her boyfriend for almost a year and hugs him back.

"Oh you know me, class."

"How cute."

"Me cute? No." She girl waved her hand in front of him.

"By the way, I heard of one of the guys from the basketball team is having a party."

"Really?"

"Yeah, wanna go?"

Sakura thought about it for a second and finally replied.

"Sure why not?"

"Haruno!"

A light blond hair girl with sky blue eyes, Ino is sitting beside Sakura and she nudges Sakura.

"Ow, what do you want pig?"

"Wake up, teacher is right beside you," she whispered back.

Sakura looks up to see her teacher hold a couple of paper to pass down the row. Mumbling a sorry, she takes the sheets and taking one for herself, hands it to Ino which Ino hands to the person beside her and etc.

"Alright students, you may work in partners or groups. I'm going to be collecting them 5 minutes before the bell rings."

Most of the students in the class was working on the sheet to get it out of the way to have free time to talk. As Sakura and Ino are doing theirs, they talked and also played with their phones or in Ino's case, retouching up her make up. Which surprisingly was not caked up unlike the other girls in the school.

"So, I saw you and Sai this morning, what did you guys talk about?" the blond asks as she looked through her make up bag.

"Nothing really. You know anything about a party this weekend?"

"Um, there's the party that Kiba from the basketball team is hosting, why?"

"Oh yeah that's what Sai was asking me about. Do you know any details about it?"

Putting back her make up stuff, Ino replied, "All I know is that it's on Saturday but if find out anything, I'll text you okay?"

"Alright. You're going right?"

"Of course forehead. We are going to get so fucking wasted."

"Sakura! Ino is here!"

Sakura heard her mom from downstairs, quickly she checks herself and finally went downstairs.

"Bye mom! I'll be home by 1ish!"

Closing the door behind her, Ino grabs her best friend's hand and the two began to speed walk towards the party.

As the music blasted through the flat when the two entered, they could see almost half of the juniors and seniors scattered around the place. Good thing these walls are sound proof. Walking pass a group that is playing beer pong and another group that was doing well, cocaine. When the two finally found their friends sitting beside the fake fire place, Ino ran over to her boyfriend, Shikamaru who was sitting down and gave him a kiss. Sakura also sat down beside Tenten, one of her best friends who has her hair in two buns and beside her was Hinata, a shy girl but she's working on getting over it.

Suddenly they hear a loud shouting which only meant one thing, Naruto. Out of all of Sakura's friends, Naruto, a boy with sun kissed blond hair was the loudest and also knew how to throw a party like Kiba. He ran towards the group, set down a two cans of beer and a bottle of Grey Goose, also a couple of cups.

"I think I brought enough for us. Beer for Shikmaru and I and the bottle is for you ladies." Naruto flashed his signature fox grin as he passed out the cups.

As the six drank and ate the bag of chips that Hinata had brought, they talked about what they were going to do for the March break.

"I say we find more partayyyyy!" Ino exclaimed, the blond was now drunk.

"I say we do something fun since it's like our last March break before senior year since who knows, we'll all end up being so busy," said Tenten.

"Trueeee that!" Naruto shouted and threw his fist in the air.

"Tenten, we still have junior year," Hinata said.

"Oh same thing!"

Sakura and Hinata just sat there and giggled at the conversation while Shikamaru looked like as if he was sleeping. Taking a sip from her cup, Hinata taps Sakura on the shoulder.

"Hinata? What's wrong?"

"I think I see Sai over at the pool table."

Sakura turned her head the same way Hinata had hers and saw her boyfriend in his pool playing position. She excused herself and walked over to the table.

Putting one of her arms around his neck, lowering him so she could kiss him on the cheeks. The other guys around the table noticed and some of them whistled. Sai flipped off at the guys and walked away with Sakura into a small hallway.

"What's up sugarplum?"

"Nothing much."

"Heh, well there is something we could do..."

"And that is?"

"Well, meet me in the guest bedroom in about 10?"

"Sure, let me just go back to the others."

"Alright."

Sai leaned down a bit and kissed Sakura on the lips.

"AWWWW Saki, do you really have to go now?"

"Yes Ino, Sai is going to take me home, okay?"

"Sakura, I don't like him!"

"And you're drunk missy. Shikamaru please take her home safely."

The boy nodded his head.

"Sakura I'm beeeing sewious here! He no good for you baby!"

"Yeah yeah, I know how much you hate him but I like him alright?"

Sakura hugged her best friend and Shikamaru grabs the poor drunk blond onto his back, heading towards the exit. Looking at her watch, it was almost time, quickly Sakura sped walked towards the guest bedroom but stopped in front of the door.

'Wait... what if Sai wants to do it? Am I ready? I mean, I like him a lot... I guess love might be the right word but... well, I do want him and his arms around me and...'

Snapping out of her thoughts, Sakura took a deep breath and opened the door to see clothing on the carpet. Looking up, she sees Sai on top of a girl. Both of them naked and having sex.

"What the fuck is this?" Sakura shouted.

"Baby, this is not what it looks like..."

"Fuck you Sai!"

Quickly, Sakura stormed out of the room causing a couple of people looking at her, since they heard her shouting. They also saw Sai running behind her trying to zip up his pants.

"Sakura, wait!"

"WHAT? WHAT THE FUCK ELSE DO YOU HAVE TO SAY?"

"Baby..."

"Don't fucking 'baby' me!"

"What happened in there was not what you think it was!"

Sakura stared at the boy and walked up to him.

"Right because fucking some chick and me walking into it, is nothing? NOTHING?"

Next thing he knew it, Sakura punched him right between the eyes. Hard.

"Do not fuck with me, Sai. Don't try to convince me that you weren't fucking her. Oh and p.s, we're over."

Even after telling her best friends about what had happened to her and Sai, she felt a bit better with their positive attitude and even Naruto and Ino's death threats against him, Sakura still felt lonely and heartbroken.

Sitting in the garage at Shikamaru's, listening to him, Ino, Tenten and Naruto playing some random tunes on their instruments. Shikamaru plays the guitar, Ino plays the bass (it was a surprise to Sakura that Ino could even play it), Tenten is on the drums, and Naruto plays the rhythm guitar. Taking a break from playing, Shikamaru walked over and sat down next to the pink hair girl.

"Hey, how you feeling?"

"Crappy but okay, I guess."

"This is completely random but Sakura, you can sing right?"

She looked at him and replied, "Yeah, why?"

"Well, I'm just thinking... how would you like to join us?"

"I don't really play an instrument though... I play around with my family's piano but..."

"No no, we need a singer and you probably have the best voice out of all of us."

"Why not Ino?"

"She doesn't want to plus she says you'd do it."

Sakura looked at the floor and brushed her hair out of her face.

"Why me?" she asks.

"You've got lots to say and plus, there's a lot of anger bottled up in there."
