Chapter 1
*April 12, 2014*
I waited at my locker for my best friend so that way we can leave for lunch. Today was hell and I wanted to get away from school just for a lunch period. I ran my hand through my long pink locks and put my headphones in my ears. I was bobbing my head to the Mariana's Trench music when I felt a tap on my shoulder. I look over to see lavender eyes and midnight blue hair pulled into a high ponytail.
"Hey Saki, Ready?" she asked twirling her keys and started to walk towards the office. I followed not far behind. I waited as she signed both of us out and we started to leave the school. "So how was your day?" we made it to her car, It was a 2012 dark purple ford focus. She got it for her seventeenth birthday from her father before he move out of town with her sister a year ago. She talks to him every now again, when she is not worrying about school.
"I had better Hinata; Sakura is continuously pissing me off. I failed my math test because I had to organize the pink Barbie's nineteenth's birthday party. "
"Her birthday was a month ago, why does she need another one?"
"The Pink Barbie gets what she wants and she wants this one to be better than her last." I sat in the passage side and started to mess with Hinata's radio to find a station. I left it on 93.1 and it was Drake and Rihana Take Care. We both started to sing, I did Drake and Hinata did Rihana.
I love to sing and dance, so the college I want to get into is Suna School for musical arts. It is like Julliard but closer and that's the school I had my eyes on since I was 10. Hinata was accepted for her amazing voice. I mean when we were little she would always sing when we would have sleepovers and it was soothing.
The song was over when Hinata pulled in to the road.
"Alright, today we have the Famous Singer Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki."
"Hey" they both said. I rolled my eyes.
"So I hear that the both of you are going to take a break and finish school. Why?" The deejay asked.
"Well it's not a lie that we are taking a break. I want to finish school, be a normal kid, go to prom, eat fast food stay up and play video games, and go too teen parties. I know that there is only like what, two months? I just want to feel what others teens go through." Sasuke's voice ranged in my ears; I try not to think about it.
"What about you Naruto?"
"I do get tired of the fame. So yeah I want to go back home in Konoha. Plus, there's this girl I had my eye on for awhile, hopefully she didn't move." Naruto's voice did get deeper then when we were kids, but he did sound like a kid.
Naruto Uzumaki, the famous blonde that could sing, but is mostly known for dancing and rapping. He was my neighbor and we were good friends. He lost his parents in a fire and lives with his Godfather, Jiraiya. He had big dreams that one day he would get notice for his talents and he did along with his best friend, Sasuke Uchiha. Sasuke Uchiha, the man that broke my heart. He was the guy of my dreams, he would make me happy and I didn't care that my life was crap. He was there to make it all better. It was until I get home from soccer practice in middle school to find him and Sakura together on the couch with little to nothing on. Since then I've been avoiding him and when freshmen year started that's when his career started to take off and he left. I didn't care, Sakura would brag to everyone that they were something when in actuality, they were nothing.
Hinata pulled into the mall. She parked as close as she could and we walked in the mall. When we first got in the mall it was crowed. I tried my best to push my way through, but to only get shoved back. My stomach started to growl and I was starving. When I look up above the crowd on my tip toes, I see the one person I didn't want to see. I quickly grabbed Hinata's hand and trucked my way passed everyone to the clearing.
I started to pant because it was really hard to push pass crazed fan girls. I started to walk when I collided when someone I didn't want to. Sasuke Uchiha.
"Hey I'm so sorry. Here let me." He held his hand out and I must've been staring at it. I got up without his help and mumbled thanks letting my bangs cover my eyes. I went to walk passed him, but the grabbed my wrist. "Hey, girl, let me make it up to you. How about I pay whatever you want in this mall and an autograph." I looked up so my emerald eyes could meet his onyx ones. I shook my head and shook my arm from his grasps.
"My name is Saki Haruno." With that I walked away as quickly as I could from the place. I made it to where Hinata was over at the food court with her food. I glared at her, "Thanks for saving me."She pulled my container of food from the table, and set it on the table. I smiled and sat down, but my nerves never settle with that little encounter with Sasuke.
"So did you see Naruto?"
"Why didn't you tell me they were going to be here? If I knew they were going to be here I would've made you take us home and I would cook." I stabbed my orange chicken with my fork. She knows about what happened but she sees good in everyone even Ino's mother. I don't know why but she does.
"I guess they wanted to come to the mall. Since you did hear that they were coming back to start a normal life." Hinata shrugged sipping on her Sprite. I started to eat my food feeling my stomach become full with every delicious taste. "Prom is coming up. I think I might go this time."
"You better, I have to sing at this. Plus it's our senior year, you have to go." I looked back at the crowd that seemed to have gotten bigger. I looked back at Hinata and she had a goofy grin on her face, "What?"
"I say we should, go shopping right now for the dresses so that way we won't have to wait."
I held my hand up motioning her to stop that thought. "I can't I'm broke until next month. I had to pay rent again because someone won't pay their half." She held her hand up in surrender. I know she will come up with some excuse that the business at Ino's dad's flower shop isn't like it use to, but she is looking for another job.
"I am looking for another job, I need to hear back from some—"her phone magically goes off and she left to go answer it. I sat alone at the table eating my food, thinking about who she is on the phone with. She comes back when I have completely finished my food and it was almost time to get back to school. "I got a job!" she held out her arms like she won something big.
"What job did you get?" I asked as I threw my trash in the trash can and she wrapped her ups to take back. I took the keys from her started to walk near the crowd.
"What time do you leave for work? I need a ride."
"I leave around 6:15. Where is your job?"
"With you, I got the job as a waitress and I can only sing with you. I start today around the same time as you. Isn't that amazing?" I looked back at her face. It was milky white, her smile was big and she was glowing, she loves to sing and she was very talented. Her eyes started to twinkle, but it didn't seem to be about the job, I followed her eyes to meet a certain blonde entertainer. He smirks at her winking too; I looked back at my friend to see her smile and wave.
"Hinata what is going on?" I look back again to see him walking his way over to us. Behind him I see a pair of onyx eyes looking back at me, curiosity filled them and I just started back unknowing Hinata tugging on me. I looked away from the stare down to face my midnight blue haired friend. I looked at my friends now light pink face, Naruto is walking over here and she is his biggest fan. When Naruto was in front of both of us you can actually see that he did mature in the face. His eyes looked like an ocean, his blond hair was spikes like to perfection, he had the sun-kissed skin and through his solid orange shirt you could tell he works out.
"Hello Hinata." His voice was angelic and Hinata grabbed on to me for support so she won't faint. Hinata had this huge crush on him since the third grade, but she never had the courage to tell him, I'm actually surprise that he remembers her. "How ya doing?" he smiles and Hinata face got a whole another shade of pink. She was blushing so hard you could feel the heat from her face. She nodded and quickly grabbed my hand to fast walk past him dragging me along out the mall to her car.
When we got to her car, she squealed. I winced at the pitch because it was something Sakura did every time she saw, hear, or even thought of Sasuke. I let it slide because Hinata never squeals and her all time crush and favorite dancer just spoke to her. I didn't say a word and started to drive back to school while Hinata had her moment and ate her food.
