Summary: Konohagakure High is a place for all sorts of people. The jocks, the dramas, the bookworms, the popular kids, the divas, the mean girls, the creeps, and me. The fat girl in the back who's constantly listening to music. My headphones are my lifeline. But when the most popular asshole at school, Uchiha Sasuke, breaks my precious headphones, I go into a spiral of depression and darkness! I didn't eat or sleep or think. Of course, because of that, I lost a TON of weight. Suddenly, I have a bunch of guys fawning over me and trying to "win" my heart! AS IF! I won't be persuaded so easily! Especially if it's from Sasuke no baka!
Maximum Capacity!
Chapter 1
"The Beginning of Something... Terrible?"
"O-OI! SASUKE-TEME, WATCH OUT!"
A shadow loomed over me, blocking the sun from my vision. A tall figure was plummeting towards me at break-neck speed. My eyes momentarily widened before shutting as I braced for impact.
CRASH!
"EEEEEEKK! SASUKE-KUN!"
I felt the wind be knocked out of me in an instant. My body slammed to the ground with a harsh thump. Something slammed into my bloated stomach, making me gag for air. I laid there, dazed and confused, staring up at the sky.
'Kami-sama… What did I do to displease you so much?'
I heard more people gather around us. The weight on my stomach shifted and eventually lifted.
"Teme! You hit Namorina!"
Naruto Uzumaki. I could recognize his loud voice instantly. I tried my best to look towards the noise, but my head was spinning. He leaned over me, a worried look on his young, youthful face. I never noticed how blue his eyes were until I saw stars in them.
No, really.
My vision was clouded with stars.
"Oi, Namorina! Are you okay?"
I took a deep breath in, (It sounded more like a loud wheeze). Naruto turned to the girl next to him. All I was able to see was a blob of black and white. "H-Hina-chan! Can you go get the nurse?"
Then, my eyes rolled back and darkness consumed me.
oOo
Fifteen minutes earlier…
Sasuke Uchiha sighed, running a hand through his black locks. He stared up at the sky, noticing how the sun seemed to be a lot brighter today. Global warming? Who knew. He didn't really care.
"Yo! Sasuke-teme!"
He turned, looking at his blonde friend. Well, Naruto wasn't really a 'friend'. More like a nuisance. (Sasuke wasn't ready to admit that Naruto was his best friend). Naruto grinned, a soccer ball under his armpit.
"You ready for today's game?" He asked. Sasuke shrugged. They would win, of course. Konoha never lost a soccer game while Sasuke, Naruto, and the others were there.
'Hn…" He answered.
"Eeeeeeee Sasuke-kun is so cool!" A couple of his more persistent fangirls squealed. Sasuke knew them to be Sakura Haruno and Ino Yamanaka. They were loud, annoying, mindless, and stalking him constantly. Eventually, he stopped caring about them as a whole.
But they were part of the popular group in Konoha, so they weren't as bad as they could be.
Like her.
Sasuke would see her around the soccer field often. She would sit underneath a cherry blossom tree, headphones on her head, and a book in her lap. Sasuke knew that the obesity percentage in Japan wasn't super high, but he didn't expect someone as young as them to be THAT obese.
Namorina Shiori was a loner, loser, AND hermit. She was the most infuriating person Sasuke had ever seen. Everything about her pissed him off. Her skin was sickly pale, her cheeks super chubby, her hair always in that stupid side braid. And she was ALWAYS listening to music!
She just infuriated him to the fullest.
Sasuke heard Naruto call out his name, making him snap out of his thoughts. He saw the ball kicked from all the way across the field. Out of habit, he began to run towards the place where it would land, his eyes glued to it.
"O-OI! SASUKE-TEME, WATCH OUT!"
Sasuke's eyes snapped in front of him. He tried to stop his body, but it was too late. Soon, he had spiraled straight into the fat loser herself. He felt her fall backwards from the impact, as did he. A sharp CRASH was heard as well as a snapping sound underneath her.
Sasuke grunted, pushing himself off of her body. At least she had cushioned his fall.
Naruto and the others gathered around them. He heard a couple of his fangirls screech in anguish.
"Teme! You hit Namorina!" Naruto shouted, glaring at Sasuke. Sasuke rolled his eyes, but turned to the ball of flesh. She was knocked out cold.
"Oi Namorina! Are you okay?" Naruto asked, leaning over her body.
"H-Hina-chan! Can you go get the nurse?"
Hinata straightened up, nodding before rushing away from the group.
Sasuke sighed. This wasn't going to be good.
oOo
I woke up in the nurse's office with Naruto leaning over my face. He snapped back when my eyes landed on him.
"S-Shizune-san! She's awake!" He said. Shizune, the school nurse, pulled the white curtains back and looked at me.
"Ah, Namorina-chan, how are you feeling? You were hit pretty hard." She said, softly. I shrugged, rubbing the back of my head to feel a small bump. I grimaced.
"Yes, you seem to have a minor concussion from the impact of the back of your skull against the concrete. I have already informed Tsunade-sama and you will be escorted home shortly. Your mother is coming to get you and should be here soon. I would alternate between icing your bump and heating it until the swelling stops." She informed me, handing me an icepack.
I nodded in thanks, putting it on the back of my head and holding it there.
Suddenly, a thought occurred to me.
"U-Uzumaki-kun… where are my headphones?"
He went silent. Silent meant something was bad. Bad meant something about my headphones.
"Naruto," I said with much more force, "Where are my headphones?"
He pursed his lips. "... W-well… When Sasuke slammed into you… Your headphones came off and uhm… broke."
My mind went blank. Did I just hear him correctly? My limited edition, expensive, Skull-Candy headphones were broken?
I fell back again and fainted deliberately
"N-Namorina!"
oOo
Pain…. So much pain…
What's the point of living without my headphones? It's not the same as listening to music out loud. No one would be able to judge my music if only I can hear it. And now…
"S-Shi-chan… Please open up! You've been in your room for a week and haven't eaten at all! At least drink some water!"
Pain… So much pain…
"Shiori! Your teacher called us! If you don't go to school today, you'll be behind and have to take summer classes!"
At this point, you could hear the snapping sound of Shiori's will to live breaking.
"Fine! Fine I'll go to school!" I yelled, slamming the door open. Light poured into the darkness of my room. I had left the lights off and the curtains completely closed during this time. My mother turned, her eyes widening as pure shock formed on her face. I must looked pretty bad.
"Geez… Let me just take a shower or something…" I sighed, walking past her.
I shut the bathroom door behind me, yawning and scratching my upper arm. My eyes landed on the mirror for a second.
… Three seconds...
...Five seconds…
….Ten seconds…
"OKAA-SAN! THERE'S A STRANGER IN OUR BATHROOM!"
"SHIORI?! IT IS YOU!"
I stared at myself in disbelief, bringing my hand up to touch my cheek. My excess body weight was gone. Completely. I was as skinny as Sakura Haruno, but my breasts were as big as Hinata Hyuuga's! My long, black hair fell down to my mid-back in waves. My bangs fell to the right side of my face, almost falling over my cerulean blue eyes.
I was in pure shock. This just… it couldn't be possible.
I mean, I had noticed that my clothes were a bit looser than I remembered, but… I didn't think to this extreme.
Snapping out of my thoughts, I began to take off my extremely loose clothes and turned on the shower. "OKAA-SAN! I'M GONNA TAKE A QUICK SHOWER, BUT I NEED NEW CLOTHES FOR TODAY!"
"YES, OF COURSE! I'LL START THE CAR UP RIGHT NOW!"
"OKAY!"
oOo
"Shi-chan, you look gorgeous! As beautiful as a model!" My mother complimented me, gushing at my new appearance.
Gone were my old, extremely large hoodie, my baggy pants, and large T-shirts. They were now replaced with a white, tight crop top with a red, plaid flannel over it. I wore a black, skater girl skirt with black knee leggings and black and white converse. My body shape could finally fit these types of clothes without looking fat!
I blushed, pushing my bangs out of my face. I decided to brush my hair out and put it into a high ponytail, but leaving my bangs out. Unfortunately, I still didn't have new headphones. So i borrowed some white earplugs from my mom.
"Thanks mom… I've got to go. Bye!"
I grabbed my Panic! At the Disco themed, black backpack which carried my laptop and books before getting out of the car.
"Okay, bye sweetie! I'll be working late tonight, so just take the bus home."
"Ja ne."
I shut the door behind me before staring up at my school. I took a shaky, deep breath before beginning to walk towards the entrance.
Immediately, I could feel people's gazes on my appearance. It made me slightly uncomfortable, but I did feel a bit more confident about my appearance, so I pretended not to notice.
I walked quickly to my locker, trying to ignore the stares and whispers of people around me. People always did freak me out. Especially crowds.
"Oh? Are you a new student here, un?"
When I turned, I was met face to face with Deidara Iwa. He was known as one of the hottest seniors in the whole school! He was even part of the AKATSUKI, the more prestigious club (More like gang) in the school. His piercing blue eyes scanned all over my body, causing a sinking feeling to rest in my stomach.
"...No…" I answered, scooting an inch away from him. He grinned, raising his arm and leaning against the locker next to mine.
"What's your name, cutie?" He asked.
"Oi, brat, don't scare the newbies." A deeper voice toned.
Behind Deidara was none other than artist extraordinaire, Sasori Akasuna. He glared sharply towards the blonde boy, being almost as tall as him as well. Sasori was known as being the 'Hot-cool-badboy-mysterious-artist' to most of the girls at school. Like Deidara, he was also part of the Akatsuki.
"Tch.. I'm not scaring her, un. Just asked for her name and if she needed a guide." He said.
I rolled my eyes, opening my locker and beginning to put my books away. I was going to be late for homeroom if I didn't hurry.
"Why would you want to guide her around when you barely know how to get to your own classes?" Sasori insulted. My mouth twitched into a smirk.
"Come on, Danna! Don't be so mean, un." Deidara pouted.
"Hn. If anything, I should escort her." Sasori said, pushing past him. His chocolate, brown eyes stared at my bag.
"Hurry, girl, I hate to be kept waiting." He said.
Deidara fumed behind him. "Oi, Sasori-no-Danna! I saw her first!"
Sasori glared at him. "Don't mess with me right now Deidara."
What was even happening?! I've never had a guy look at me without laughing and now there are two, hot seniors arguing over who takes me to class?!
"Eto.. I know where I'm going." I said in the middle of their arguing. I shut my locker and threw my backpack over my right shoulder before putting my earplug back in my left ear. Shelter by Porter Robinson blasted into my ear.
"A-anyways, I'm going to be late so… Thank you for the offers!" I stuttered out before scurrying away from the two. I don't think they noticed. They were too busy arguing about… art?
It didn't matter to me. I had managed to escape them in one piece.
I rushed down the hall to Hatake-sensei's class, only wanting to sink into my desk and listen to music. As soon as I opened the door, I instantly regretted it.
When I walked into the classroom, people began to look at me. Everyone. Including Naruto, Sasuke, Sai, Sakura, Ino, and Hinata. All of them… were staring at me.
"Ah, you came. I'm glad I don't have to assign you summer classes, Namorina-chan." Hatake-sensei said.
Everyone gasped, desks and chairs flew in the chaos.
"NAMORINA?!"
I winced, looking down at my feet in embarrassment. "...O-Ohaiyo…"
Sakura barged her way to the front of the crowd that had gathered around me. "How can YOU be Namorina?!" She hissed, pointing a manicured nail at me.
I blinked, feeling uncomfortable from people crowding around me. I backed away from the crowd.
Suddenly, I felt a hand on my shoulder.
Guess who it was?
None other than the Uchiha-bastard himself.
"Everyone back off. She's obviously uncomfortable." He said, coldly.
I stared at him in shock. Before, Sasuke would do nothing but glare at me when I would be in his way. NEVER would THE Uchiha Sasuke help ME.
The crowd slowly began to disperse. Girls sent me nasty glares and curious looks.
Sasuke dropped his hand from my shoulder before nodding towards me in acknowledgment.
I glared at him. "I didn't need your help." My tone completely changed. I must still be angry about my headphones. No, I AM still angry.
Sasuke looked down at me, one eyebrow raised. "Hn. That's not how it seemed from my perspective."
"Your perspective isn't the only thing that matters." I scowled and marched over to my seat. I sat down and put the other ear plug in.
Music fell over my senses and washed away my worries and pains. For a moment, everything seemed relatively back to normal.
Until I felt someone poke me.
I took out the bud, looking up at Naruto with narrowed eyes. "Yes?"
Naruto grinned towards me. It was the type of grin that made me want to smile as well. The kind that touches the depths of your soul for some stupid reason.
"You look a LOT different, Namorina-chan! I think you shocked the whole school like this." He said, sitting down in the seat next to me. I felt my defenses quiver under the gaze of the handsome blonde in front of me. What was happening to me?
"O-Oh… really? Arigato, Uzumaki-kun."
Naruto chuckled. His chuckle sounded so genuine. "What's with the formalities? You can just call me Naruto, dattebayo!"
"Then you can call me Shiori." I answered, feeling a smile tug at my lips.
"Shiori-chan? Or maybe Shi-chan? I'm giving a bunch of my friends nicknames so maybe I'll just call ya Shi-chan!"
I felt heat rushing into my cheeks. The more I stared and talked to Naruto, the faster my heart got. I never tried to talk to Naruto before. He seemed to be engrossed in the world of popularity and yet… he was with me in the nurse's office. He came over to talk to me and have a REAL conversation with me. He showed me that he cared before and after I changed.
Before I realized it, I began to like the way he talked to me. He was so happy all the time.
I wish I could be like that too.
"Ne ne, is your head okay? Has Sasuke-teme apologized yet? I told him to apologize." Naruto said.
I shook my head. "My head is feeling much better, but Sasuke doesn't have to apologize. It was an accident." Although I was still angry that my headphones were broken. Because I was petty, I did blame Sasuke for them breaking. They were my precious baby.
"It sucks how your headphones broke. They looked pretty expensive."
STRIKE! DIRECT HIT!
I dead panned, nodding my head slowly to agree with him."Y-Yeah… they were…"
"Hm… I think Sasuke-teme should pay for new ones." Naruto mentioned.
Hm… The Uchiha family were extremely rich. Like… so rich that they could probably end world hunger if they wanted to. They were a law firm family company. Everyone knew about them
"It's alright. I have my ear plugs so… It's not as bad as it could be. I'll just work until I can buy another set." I said, smiling.
Even though there will never be another pair like the ones I had. They were my children. How can a mother ever forget her children?!
"Hmm… It's still not right." Naruto sighed. I was about to say something, when all of a sudden the bell rang. I gathered up my belongings, putting them back into my bag.
"What class do you have next?" Naruto asked, his orange backpack slung lazily over his left shoulder.
"Chemistry, how about you?"
"Calculous. Sucks that we're not going towards the same direction. Do ya want to sit together at lunch? You can sit with me and the gang."
Him and… the popular kids? Me?
I blushed and nodded my head slowly. "I-I'd like that a lot. Thanks Naruto-kun."
He waved towards me before disappearing around the corner. I put a hand to my heart, trying to calm myself down.
It didn't last long. When I was about to leave, a certain pink haired slammed her hand onto my desk. I looked up, staring at Sakura's decently pretty face. She looked angry.
"Listen. I don't know what you did, but don't think that just because you magically became somewhat pretty that all the boys will fawn over you like no tomorrow. You're STILL a loser. So back off Sasuke, you slut. Or else."
She gave me one last glare before spinning, her long, pink hair hitting my face.
"You call me a slut, but you're the one wearing shorts that are basically underwear…" I grumbled, picking up my bag and walking out of the classroom. I began rushing towards chemistry.
I made it just as the bell rang.
"Namorina, you're back," Kurenai-sensei smiled towards me. "We had been working on a lab while you were away. Since you don't have a partner, I'll be pairing you up with Uchiha. He doesn't have a partner."
Fuck my life.
