So I'm trying different names for characters in my fanfics so bare with me lol. The Secret Life of a Teensge Ex-Thief is up read and review it.
I DON'T OWN NARUTO
You know some days the universe warn when your day is about to be shot to hell. However, when you are a senior in high school you ignore the signs because you feel invincible and the world is going to worship you at your feet. Well, that's all but a pipedream because face it the universe is willing to trip you and make you face hell even in your last year of high school. At least I did for me and honestly had I paid attention to the signs that were given I'm sure my year would have been different.
The first sign of trouble was when I overslept. Hey who doesn't every now and then, but as a senior being late for the first day of the year is a big no no. Second my friend Hinata ended having to get a ride from her parents since her car broke down and she failed to mention it to me. Granted she is my only friend, but still I depend on her so I don't look like shit skating to school like crap after the effect of wind messing up my hair. My hair and its the daily problems. See it's pink and has a knack of causing me to get unwanted attention. You'd think after 18 years of going to the same school with people they would get over it, but they don't. It was being a complete monster not covering up my forehead in the right angle.
In the half hour I had managed to just throw my hair into a ponytail with a bang covering up my forehead and skate through the neighborhood of Konoha. The school was about five blocks away but sometimes the little kids of this village have a knack of causing so early in the morning. The bright side about living in the village is that everything is within walking distance so skating actually beats cars. Some people live a bit out of the village so they have modes of transportation, but nope not me. I get to school quickly strapping my board onto my backpack as Hinata's parents drop her off. "Hey Nata thanks for telling me about the car breaking down." I said to her. Nata is a nickname I gave her ever since we met in elementary school. "Well, whose fault is it for oversleeping and not getting the message on time" She had a point there.
She let her hair grow out over the summer and now it was to a point where it touched her back. I wonder how she even washed the thing. I noticed her fidgeting with her as we walked into the doors of the school. "You know it looks fine. Especially, since you are so new with the long hair scene." I said to her. And she gave me this horrifying look. Obviously, she thought it looked like bedhead or something. We get to the auditorium and part of a mandatory senior thing. Usually the seniors have to complete a project in order to graduate and today we were going to find out what it was. Once we get there and have a seat some idiot ends up bumping her with their backpack and before I even looked at them I said, "Hey watch where you going you-Oh! Naruto you baka you just bonked Hinata in the head." Hinata's face turns red with embarrassment.
Naruto Uzumaki- Hinata's long life crush. She tries to keep it a secret and yet everyone knows. Well, everyone besides the idiot himself, which isn't a surprise there. Hinata first met him in the first grade during a book buddies session and since then she had been doing some major crushing. As in, whenever she sees him she ends up hiding like a complete stalker. Oh and then she starts stuttering and it's quite a site to see, but I cant have my friend die from social awkwardness so I help her out. "Sorry Hinata. Didn't see you there." He said. Hinata was trying to find a way to hide her face from him. "No problem. Hinata can handle it like a big girl." I said. I notice a smile from her. Her ultimate thank-you-for-saving-me sign." The bell rang and then Tsunade began the senior assembly.
It was the usual boring stuff until she mentioned something about marriage. This is because apparently the divorce rate in the entire country is at 50%. That was when the entire senior student body went into an uproar. After calming us down Tsunade explained the project. "Each male and female student will be paired up for the school year and must work together as couple. There will be a list on the board outside the gym. Including earning income in other words, making money. The couple with the most successful marriage will get half the money earned while another goes to charity. And each month the couple who earns the most will prizes such as free prom tickets and a limo for the prom." She even bough in a counselor named Suzune. She looked like a one of the women that do those commercials about phone or insurance. "Suzune and I think that you all are old enough to learn how to manage, maintain, and challenge relationships." She takes a breather. "In no way do we encourage physical intimacy with our students. " In other words, sex and just like any normal group of teenagers everyone laughed. Sasuke Uchiha and his girlfriend, Ino Yamanka, being the loudest ones.
God I hate those two. The typical high school jock and head cheerleader dating each other. Those two have been "intimate" with each other since freshmen year, thanks to Saskue's big mouth. While laughing the two of them embraced each other and gave each other the most sloppiest kiss known to man. Oh gag. I wish I could erase that horrid memory from my mind. I turned to share my disgust with Hinata only to find her as a pale as a sheet. "Nata, are you ok?" I said softly. She breathed out. "Yeah, just that this is the weirdest thing I ever heard of." I couldn't agree with her more. The marriage project gotten me all sweaty with a stomach ache.
The worse idea was not even knowing who my so-called spouse was going to be. She said more, but I, along with everyone one else, wasn't listening to her. I just hoped that I didn't end-up with some weirdo or lazy partner. After the assembly, the herd pretty much ran to the doors to see who their partner was going to be. Of course, we got crammed and Hinata and I got stuck behind Gaara Sabaku, who was like as muscular as he can be. And honestly, he acted like he could care less about who his partner was. It also didn't help with the fact he had music stuck in his ears. He was like a freaking roadblock. Hinata and I finally made it to the boards looking for our names. I spot my name, Haruno Sakura. I closed my eyes praying that an angel of mercy was going to save me. I open them and see the name across from mine Uchiha Sasuke. "You gotta be fu-" I said before Hinata pulled me away from the board. "Who did you get?" I asked her. Hoping that maybe she got someone better than me. "Music boy." She said. Gaara. "Oh damn I'm sorry. You wanted Naruto didn't you? Who is his partner?" I asked her. "Ino." She said softly. Damn you universe.
"Of all people. I'm stuck with Mr. Head-up-my ass." I ranted as we got into a bathroom. I rant for a good ten minutes. "I know that jerk is going to make us or probably just me fail. God Tsunade or whoever made that list must really hate me." I said. "Sakura calm down. Truth to all of what you just said, but at least you can have some kind of conversation with him. I get the socially-awkward and hard to approach guy." I groaned. "And of all people for Naruto to get. It just had to be Ino. She is so going to manipulate him into doing the whole thing by himself. You know what I should ask her to trade with me then I could trade with you. I'll handle the sacrifice of being Gaara's partner spouse whatever the term is." I said fixing my hair in the mirror. "Ok, Sakura as much as I love you and all. You gotta chill. I can handle being with Gaara all year. Who knows he might be an interesting person." Hinata said smiling. Before I could say anything cheerleaders entered the bathroom along with their queen bee.
I could tell she wasn't too happy with assignment of who Sasuke got paired up with. Join the freakin' club. "Look here Pinky. Just because Sasuke is going to be with you all year doesn't mean that something is going to happen. In fact, I doubt it will since this is for graduation and all." Ino said towards me. "Ino the last thing I want on this Earth is to be paired up with an idiot like Sasuke. Please I'm just trying to survive this year resisting the urge to kill your boyfriend. And please if Sasuke was interested in me I'm sure as hell not interested in him. So don't worry you can sleep at night." I said in response. Ino leaves with a huff along with the rest of her followers. "I swear I don't understand why you even bother with her." Hinata said. "Well, it would have been rude of me not to comfort her fears." I replied laughing. "You got one smart mouth Sakura." We both left for homeroom. Luckily, we had Kurenai Yuhi, not so lucky Sasuke was in the same class. Ugh. Hinata and I saw them right outside the room stuffing each other down their throats and right as we passed they both eyed me. They had the look of disgust and I was about to say something, but Hinata pulled me away saying, "Let it go." Again damn you universe.
I'm not going to lie. I have no idea where this is headed. In fact, I began writing this in the middle of night so I'm going to assume it's going to be my first middle-of-the-night fanfic. Meaning I'm sure this will be awhile before finishing. Read and Review
