Author's Note: Hey all :) This isn't my first account… *cough cough* my third! My first one worked out PERFECTLY, but I was young back then and was… dramatic -_- Sooo, I started anew, made a second account, but not so many reviews even when I kept updating… I sort of lost my inspiration to write fanfiction since I WANT to use my own OC characters, but that would obviously NEVER work out :p Here's yet ANOTHER fresh start! Review to encourage me to continue!
PS: I'm not a big fan of SasuSaku, but I figured most people like SasuSaku or NaruSaku! :)
Beautifully Ugly
Chapter 1 – Beastly
The morning was a typical perfect time to get up, get ready to start a good day, hoping for the best. Apparently, a young pink haired girl doesn't think so as she slumbered some more, hugging her extra red pillow close as she murmured a few nonsensical words. The birds were already up, catching worms for their young, and almost everyone else was up and about, getting ready for the big day: first day of school. To some, it was the first day of a new start, the first day to actually be someone for a change, or the first day of dreaded homework and new teachers. To others, it was the first day of Hell, but to everyone it would always be called the first day of school.
"Sakura? Are you up?" A small voice could be heard downstairs. Footsteps grew louder as they approached her room, "SAKURA! Get up! You're going to be LATE for the first day of school! It's your sophomore year in high school and you're going to leave a bad impression to your teachers if you show up late with a pink pass." Her mother tore off the sheets, watching Sakura wince at the sudden coldness. "Get up, get dressed, and come downstairs for breakfast." She said in a stern voice. Before leaving, she opened the windows, and turned the lights on to make Sakura REALLY wakes up.
The pastel pink haired girl scowled and got up, stretching before finally getting up and heaved a sigh, this was going to be Hell… Standing up, she heard a familiar hiss and quickly lifted her foot, "Bon-Bon! I told you to not stay in my room you dumb cat." She rolled her eyes and picked up the chocolate and white colored cat, staring at its light bronze eyes. "What do you say girl?" She gently shook the cat, holding its light brown furry head to hers.
"Mew?" Bon-Bon mewed delicately, confused as she struggled in Sakura's gentle grip, wanting to be put down. The feline got its wish as Sakura set the cat down, sighing.
Within a matter of minutes, Sakura was showered, wearing a pastel green long sleeved shirt with a pair of light blue skinny jeans clad with a simple gray sweater and white converse with black writing all over it from her old high school back in Sunagakure. She ran downstairs, Bon-Bon loyally following her as she sat down and made herself cereal. She hummed at the light sweetness of the milk-soaked Cheerios and stared at the nutrition facts, a bad habit of hers when eating. "Half a cup of skim milk with the Cheerios and its 140 calories…?" She dropped her spoon in her bowl and stared at her breakfast… She usually put more than half a cup… Did this mean she was fat? Or… was she GOING to be fat? No… She quickly shook her head, almost as if shaking away the thought as she dumped the rest of her cereal away and put the box back in its cabinet.
She turned to see Bon-Bon staring at her as if she were the craziest person ever for dumping away a bowl of cereal. She grabbed her plain black Jansport® backpack with buttons and pins pinned on and opened the door, letting the winter's cool presence greet her as she closed the door, knowing her mom was busy in her room getting ready for work. Sakura only lived with her mother; her father had abandoned her long ago when she was two years old and held vague, unclear memories of him. It was how most people described "blurry". Being a single mother was tough, so she did as much as possible to make her mother proud.
"Watch it!" Someone yelled as Sakura quickly stepped aside to feel a bike zoom by her. All she saw was long dark brown hair tied loosely fly by. Soon enough, a boy wearing clothes the disgusting color of a dark puke green ran past her yelling a name 'Neji' and suddenly skidded to a halt.
"Um…" Sakura raised a thin pink eyebrow, "Hi…?"
He turned around and what she noticed the most was his huge (and I mean humongous) black furry eyebrows… She couldn't even CALL them eyebrows. It was like he glued hairy black caterpillars onto his face. The black shiny bowl cut was DEFINITELY not helping her either. "Why helloooo m'lady." He gave her a toothy grin and thumbs up.
"Ignore him," A girl showed up next to her wearing a pink T-shirt with golden designs on it that said 'I'm not short, I'm FUN-SIZED'. She was a little shorter than Sakura. Her hair was in two small buns, small bangs sticking out. "I'm Tenten." She smiled. "You new to Konoha High?"
"Th—" Sakura was interrupted immediately.
"I'M ROCK LEE!" The boy in front of them walking backwards shouted, giving them both a salute and his 'serious' face. Tenten rolled her eyes, but a smile hid evident on her face.
Sakura stared at them oddly, "That's the high school's name?" God she was clueless… "O-Oh… Um, sorry, my name's Haruno Sakura." She gave them both a small meek smile. Just how strange will this get?
"DATTEBAYO!" Dear lord, what's going on now? She would've face-palmed, but held it back, stuffing her hands in her sweater pocket.
"Baka! You'll wake everyone up. Not everyone is awake yet stupid." A smooth calm, yet stern voice filled her ears, relaxing them from the obnoxious noise from earlier. She turned around to see a grinning spiky blonde haired boy, hands behind his head, walking next to what Sakura would have described as a God. Silky black hair… Tense dark eyes… He seemed perfect… Absolutely perfect.
Tenten saw Sakura's stare and giggled, whispering to her, "That's Uzumaki Naruto." She introduced him from across the street.
Sakura hummed, murmuring, "Naruto? That's a sexy name…" She gave a dreamy sigh, only to be interrupted at Tenten's loud laughter. "Wh-What? Did I say something?" She panicked.
Tenten gasped for breath, "N-Naruto i-is the blo-blonde idiot!" She continued laughing, hiccupping when she saw the clear, evident terror on Sakura's face. At last, Tenten's fit of giggles ended and slyly pointed at the onyx haired boy, "That's Uchiha Sasuke, the heart throb."
Sakura and Tenten both gave another dreamy sigh, instantly melting at the name and every movement of the boy. They both looked at each other and laughed at their girlish stupidity and just stared at Sasuke from across the street as they kept walking. Each step he took appeared graceful and elegant to her.
Her thoughts were interrupted as Sasuke felt the stares and glared at them both with his penetrating onyx eyes, "Apparently people forgot that staring is rude." He said it loud enough for it to burn into Sakura's pink ears.
Tenten just giggled, "Sorry Sasuke-kun!" She grinned, waving at Sasuke who just rolled his eyes. Sakura, however, was down right pissed, just who was he to tell them that staring was rude in a snobbish manner? "Hey, Sakura-chan chill. He's always like that." She tried calming her newly made friend down.
Sakura growled, "Well forget how amazing he looks, he's… he's a bastard at heart!" She huffed, walking quickly as Lee yelled, 'Speed-walking is youthful!' at them in encouragement.
It was then that Sakura became quick friends with Tenten, and it was then that she knew her sophomore year in Konoha High was going to be Hell, and all because of one beastly person. Uchiha Sasuke.
