Enjoy?
Sakura reached over and dismissed the alarm clock. Bright red letters that read 5:30 shined brightly through the dim lit room. She opened her eyes and stared blankly at the ceiling for a good 5 minutes before sighing and getting up. Walking to the bathroom with silent footsteps, Sakura took a towel and started to do her daily rountine.
Around 20 minutes later, she emerged from the bathroom all refreshed and ready to get on with her day.
Sakura took her belongings and walked out of her room while making sure not to wake up her mom and her mom's best friend. She closed the front door with a click and turned the knob to make sure it was locked. Then she walked to her school while stopping by Ichiraku's for some breakfast.
"Goodmorning Ayame!" said Sakura while taking a seat near Teuchi. "Goodmorning Teuchi!" A look of familiarity crossed the father and daughter's features as they greeted Sakura.
"Hey Sakura!" said Ayame with a wave. Teuchi smiled and went back to cooking up some delicious ramen. Yum.~
"I'll have the beef ramen with an egg, please."
"Coming up!" said Teuchi as he got started on Sakura's order.
Sakura sat there and waited until her order was done.
The smell of ramen filled the air.
The morning was still young as the sun began to rise and cover the town with it's warm embrace. The shops began to open one at a time, signaling the beginning of a new day.
"Here you go, Sakura." said Teuchi while placing the bowl of beef ramen in front of the pink haired girl. He walked over the the counter and got a pair of chop sticks for her while holding another bowl of ramen in his hand for the other customer.
"Enjoy, sir." said Teuchi. He walked over to a man with long, black hair tied into a low pony tail. He had a thin winter jacket on and that was it. Wasn't that man cold?
Sakura glanced at the man and thought 'I haven't seen him before...'
'Maybe we should help him out. He looks like he's gonna freeze to death.' thought Inner as she lifted an eyebrow at the man.
'Sure. Let's eat with him. He looks kinda lonely too.' thought Sakura as she took her chopsticks and ramen to his table. "May I sit with you?" asked Sakura with a friendly smile.
The man looked blankly at her and nodded. Sakura nodded in thanks and sat down. Then she broke her chopsticks in half and began to eat her breakfast in the comfortable silence.
'He has nice eyes.' thought Sakura. She occasionally looked at him and noticed that he had bags around his eyes as well. His eyes were like pools of obsidian. It was quite magnificient in Sakura's opinion.
"It's rude to stare, you know." said the man. A small smirk appeared on his features as he continued eating.
Sakura blushed and stuffed a large portion of ramen into her mouth to escape from her embarassment.
The man chuckled and looked at her. Then he continued eating his ramen and was done in a matter of moments.
"I must take my leave now. Thank you for the company." said the man with politeness in his smooth voice.
Sakura nodded and smiled. Then she walked over to the counter and opened up her bag. She took out a 20 dollar bill and placed it in front of Ayame.
"Bye Ayame, Teuchi." said Sakura. Then she looked at the man and waved at him. "See ya around!" And with that, she walked out of Ichiraku's.
The man stood there and smiled slightly His chest felt warmer than usual but he dismissed the feeling. He walked up to the counter and was about to take out his wallet when Ayame giggled. His delicate eyebrow raised in question and was only rewarded with a small smile from Ayame.
"It's alright! Sakura paid for your food already, sir." said Ayame.
The man stared blankly at Ayame before nodding and stuffing his hands into his pockets for warmth. Then he exited Ichiraku's while listening to Ayame's "Come back soon!" from inside.
Sakura walked to her school while thinking about a certain man she just met.
'Maybe we should get him some things to wear. I mean, either he didn't have warmer clothing on purpose or he couldn't afford it...' thought Sakura with worry.
'Yeah. I thought that too. Should we do a little shopping before school? We have an hour, anyway.' suggested Inner.
Sakura nodded and walked to the mall that was 15 minutes away from school. She walked into a mall that sold everything from fairly priced household items to various brand name clothing.
'Hm...' thought Sakura as she looked at the many types of jackets that hung proudly against their hangers with discounts hovering around their collars. 'I wonder which one I should get for him...'
She didn't have a budget in mind but she wouldn't mind spending a little more then necessary since looking like a fool and being warm matters more than looking really cool and getting sick. At least, that's what she thought.
'Saku. How about that one?' said Inner as she pointed to a black and gray Northface jacket with many pockets on it. There was a large pocket on the abdomen, some on the arms, a few big ones near the waist, one over here, some over there, a bunch over there and so on. 'Looks like you can fit a whole house in it.' said Inner with a smartass remark.
'Yeah. I don't think he'd run out of storage room any time soon, if anything.' thought Sakura as she bought the jacket sleeve close to her face. A dull Northface tag of $500 caught her attention. 'Price isn't too bad. Let's get it.' So, Sakura removed the a medium sized jacket from the hanger and continued her shopping spree.
She walked into the scarf section and found scarfs of many shapes, sizes, colors, and brands. The one that she liked the most, was the black one made from cotton. She had one as well and needless to say, they were warmmmmm!~
Sakura walked to where the scarf was and picked it up from the shelf. She then walked to the gloves section and pickets up a fresh pair of leather gloves.
'Guess that's everything...' thought Sakura while checking if she missed anything. 'Yup. Let's go.' She bought the clothing to the cash register and payed with her credit card.
"Thank you, Miss! Come again!" said the cashier. A bright smile was directed at Sakura as she took her bags.
"Thanks, hun." said Sakura with a smile. She took her bag and walked another 15 minutes before she reached school.
She walked into her first class, AP Tech.
The teacher, Mr. Hatake, came late EVERYDAY so there was no point in coming in early but Sakura did anyway. She took her seat in the back of the room and set her bag near her seat. Then she placed her headphones into her ear and listened to her first song of the day, Yellow Moon by Akeboshi.
An hour passed and students started to arrive. The time was now 7:30 A.M. and the class room was filled with students.
A man with spikey gray hair and a lower face mask walked into the room with an orange book in front of his face. The whole class gasped.
"YOU'RE EARLY." screamed the class. There was something wrong here. It must be an apocalypse. Hide your wife, hide your children, Kakashi's coming!~ D:
"Yes. Thank you for noticing that." said Kakashi in a bored manner. "I was escorting two new students around school."
As he finished his sentence, two people walked in.
The first had black, spikey hair with bangs that framed his face. His hair stood up from the back and made it look like a chicken butt. A look of boredom crossed his features as he stood in front of the class and said "Sasuke Uchiha."
The girls of the class, most of them, and some guys... squeeled at the sight of the new comer. They started to declare their love- correction. They started to scream out their love while hearts could be seen in their eyes. In my opinion, it was more like a rape face, rather than a love face. But, moving on.
The second had long, black hair and bangs that framed his face. His long hair was tied into a low pony tail and he wore a thin... winter jacket... ? "Itachi Uchiha."
The girls of the class, minus some girls squeeled even louder. The same thought crossed their minds, 'BROTHERS? OMG.'
Sakura could just SMELL the chaos that was going to happen. She read enough fanfiction to conclude that Kakashi would probably put the brothers in both sides of her and then she would have one hell of s freshman year.
"Well, now that introductions are done, why don't you sit..." Kakashi looked around the room and directed his gaze to the two empty seats next to Sakura. "Why don't the two of you sit next to Sakura? Sakura, raise your hand."
Sakura resisted all temptations to facedesk her desk. The urges were killing her. Why, oh why did this have to happen to her? She groaned and raised her hand with a grim look on her face.
The Uchiha brothers looked at her and judged Sakura.
'She's probably another annoying fangirl. Sigh.' thought Sasuke as he started to walked to where Sakura sat. He took the seat on her left and stuffed his hands into his pockets.
'Ah... ' thought Itachi as he recognized Sakura from earlier. He took a seat to her right and stuffed his hands into his pockets. He was still feeling cold even after the hot ramen he just had.
Sakura sighed and looked at the class. She could just FEEL the glares directed at her. 'Go figure.'
"Alright class. Today, we're doing groupwork." said Kakashi while continuing to read his book. Groans were heard throughout the classroom. Sasuke and Itachi didn't understand what was going so they sat in silence. "You can pick your groups this time. Don't jump up all at once."
"Sakura! Can you be in our group?"
"EEEK, Sasuke! Join my group!"
"Join my group, Itachi!"
"No, Sakura! Join MY group!"
"Bitch, Sasuke's mine!"
"Come to out group, Itachi!"
Sakura sighed and glanced at Sasuke. He ignored the fangirls as if they never existed and continued to stare blankly at the blackboard. She directed her atttention to Itachi. He was shaking his head ocassionally to decline the fangirls offer.
"Hey, Sasuke." said Sakura. He looked at her and waited for her to continue. "Wanna be in the same group?" He pondered about his options and deemed it necessary to be in Sakura's group. If he wanted to keep his grades up and his sanity in check (fangirls are ruthless, mind you).
Then she turned to Itachi and asked "Wanna join our group, Itachi?" Itachi looked at her and nodded. He much rather work with Sakura and his brother rather than get harassed by a bunch of fangirls.
And so, the groups were made.
