Chapter 1: Prolouge
"Thank you… Sasuke. For saving me from the big, green monster, Lee."
"No problem, babe." Sasuke smiled one of his heart-stopping smiles to Sakura, who was held in his arms.
He closed his eyes and leaned down.
Beep.
Sakura's eyes fluttered close. 'Oh. My. God. Sasuke Uchiha is about to kiss me!'
Beep. Beep. Beep.
His lips were only an inch away from her and then…
…
…
…
BEEP!!
Suddenly, Sasuke's face disappeared and in his place was as white ceiling with pictures of her best friends. Hinata, TenTen, and some of Ino when Sakura was only 10 years old. Her eyes were twinkling and she had a blinding smile on her face. Sakura was no longer wrapped in Sasukes arms, but her warm, pink, blankets.
BEEP! BEEP!
Sakura groaned and rolled on her side, facing her alarm clock that read 6:01 a.m. She quickly turned if off and glared at it.
'Damn alarm clock! It ruined my awesome dream!'
Reluctantly, Sakura rolled out of bed and dragged herself into her bathroom. Her bathroom was pretty big for a girl as small as herself. The walls were a light shade of blue, and she had the beach theme going on. She turned on the warm water and splashed her face, waking her up. Sakura looked up. In the mirror, she could see a skinny, 17 year old girl with big emerald eyes that were half closed. Under those eyes were bags. She showered, got dressed, brushed her teeth, and pulled her pink hair in a high ponytail.
While Sakura was putting on her make-up, which was mascara, foundation, and cover-up, a loud rumbling sound could be heard. She looked at her stomache, which growled again.
Slowly, the tired girl walked to the large kitchen for some breakfast. She opened the cabinet and took out a bowl her favorite cereal. She dumped the contents of the box into the bowl, but only crumbs came out.
'Damn. I'm almost out of Cocoa Puffs. '
While she was savoring the crunchy, chocolaty cereal, a small piece of paper caught Sakura's eye. She slowly scanned it. On it read:
Dearest Sakura-Blossom,
I'm sorry to suddenly leave, but I got a job that pays a lot while I was clubbing last night. Next to this letter is 1,000 dollars. Make sure that lasts for two months! See you soon! Don't get in any trouble!
Lots of Love,
Your mother, Nadeshiko
Sakura stared at the letter, her face indifferent. She's been left alone many times before, but she was still a little disappointed.
'Lots of love and don't get in trouble my ass!! Grrr... I should be used to this, this happens all the time!'
Her mother worked as a bartender on different cruise ships. The time she left Sakura on her own ranged from 1 week to 6 months. At first, Sakura would travel with her mother, but that go too expensive and tiring. Right when Sakura tuned 14, she started being left at home to take care of herself.
Working as a bartender paid pretty good money, but Sakura's mom came home drunk all the time. Like last night. Sakura was kept from getting sleep because she was making sure her mom didn't do something stupid, like run around town naked, which she attempted a couple times. The memory was still fresh in Sakura's mind.
"Mom! What are you doing?!" Sakura ran to her drunk mother, who was blushing and giggling like crazy. You'd think that Sakura was the mom, and her mother was the silly, horny teenager.
"What does it look like I'm doing? I'M STRIPPING!!" Nadeshiko giggled again and hiccuped.
"No. Stop." Sakura banged her head against the wall. God, her mom was an idiot. "Bad."
"But it would be FUN to run around like this! AHAHAHA!!" The red hair women stumbled to the door and fell over.
"Owwie." That was all she said before she passed out. Sakura cussed and dragged her mom through the large house, onto the couch. She turned her on her side and left to get her sleep, even though it was 4 in the morning.
Sakura tossed the letter in the trash can while grabbing a sweater and her car keys. Time to go to school. She walked toward her pink Porsche and drove to school. When she arrived, the first thing she saw was "Hidden Leaf Private School" (aka HELL) in big, bold letters. Her school was mostly full of stupid, rich bastards. Hence, the private school part. The only reason she was at this stupid school was because her mom thought she would get a better education in a private school since she wasn't home a lot. Wrong. Richer kids just mean more parties, with more beer, and more drugs. Oh, and better quality and variety. Screw just beer, lets have maragaritas and tequila and wine too!
"Sakura!" a voice yelled. "Over here!" Said girl turned her head and saw one of her best friends, TenTen. After parking her car, she walked toward her older friend.
TenTen was a year older than Sakura, with chocolate hair and matching eyes. She was as tough as someone could get. No one stood in her way. She can fight with weapons and kick your ass too.
"Oh look! There's Hinata!" TenTen exclaimed.
There Hinata was, coming out of a Ferrari, with her older brother Neji. They were The Huugas. Almost as famous as The Uchiha Brothers. Neji was Sasuke's rival and almost everything. Hinata was a quiet, caring girl. You could talk about all you're worries and she'll know exactly what to say. Unless Naruto's around her, then she faints.
Speaking of Naruto, he just arrived in the parking lot in his bright orange Mustang. Naruto Uzumaki. He was loud and he practically knew everyone. EVERYONE. He was one of the nicest people I know, besides Hinata.
"Call me so I can come and do it for you. Call me so I can come and prove it for you. Call me so I can make it juicy for―"
Sakura (along with everyone else) turned her head to see where the music was coming from, although she already knew. A sleek, shiny Bugatti Veyron parked next to Naruto's car. Out came Sasuke Uchiha and his current girlfriend, Ino Yamanaka.
"Hey, Bastard!" Naruto said to his best friend. Well, actually he yelled it, but that's normal talk to him.
"Hn. Shut up, Loser." Sasuke greeted back.
Ino turned her head to Sakura and gave her an in-your-face look. Then, she clung to Sasuke's arm and gave him a long, passionate kiss, though all of us (all of us meaning the entire school) knew their relationship was anything but passonite.
Ino and Sakura used to be best friends from third grade to the beginning of high school. They went everywhere together. It was like they were joined at the hip. Why did it stop? That's when Sasuke Uchiha went to their school. Now, when two best friends like the same guy, of course there is going to be competition. And that's exactly what happened. Ino and Sakura both decided that they were going to be rivals from then on.
Well… Ino got him first. It wasn't a surprise to Sakura. I mean, Ino was gorgeous, wealthy, and popular. Overall, she was just more of Sasuke's type.
Sasuke. Sasuke. Sasuke. He was pretty much Hidden Leaf High's celebrity along with Neji and Naruto. He was also the school's heartthrob. Why?
1. He hot. He has black blue hair and black eyes that make you turn to mush. Plus, he's ripped. I mean, damn.
2. He's rich. He owns the most expensive car in the world! Double damn.
3. It had been rumored that he's good. If you know what I mean.
Ino and Sasuke finally pulled out of their kiss, scratch that, make-out session after Naruto was screaming, "MY EYES! MY POOR, BEAUTIFUL EYES!!"
Ino looked at Sakura again and this time mouthed the words "be jealous" to her.
'Whatever.' Sakura thought as she walked toward the schools gates. To tell you the truth, Sakura wasn't jealous. At all. Because she knew that all of Sasuke's girlfriends never lasted more than three weeks.
And Ino's time is about up.
--
Sakura unhurriedly walked to her first class. 'Science with Mr. Kakashi… great.' She thought. The bell rang 5 minutes ago but that's okay, because Kakashi was always at least ten minutes late every day.
She entered the cold classroom and looked at her surroundings. 'Good. He's not here yet. ' Everyone was either talking to their friends, messing around, or watching Naruto put a whoopee cushion on Kakashi's seat.
Sakura quietly sat down on her assigned seat and rested her head on her arm. She slowly drifted into sleep until she heard at loud fart sound. The pink haired girl looked up to see Kakashi holding the whoopee cushion in his hands while the rest of the class was cracking up. Naruto was in tears and looked like he was choking. She even saw Sasuke smirking.
"Naruto," Kakashi's voice rang through the class. "Principal's office. Now." Naruto walked to the door, high-fiving everyone's hands in the class.
"I'LL BE BACK!" he yelled and gave a thumb up sign.
Kakashi sighed and rubbed his nose. "OUT!" His reputation was ruined. Pffft. Yeah, right. He was already known a the always late, perverted, teacher. Add farting in won't really make a difference.
When the class finally settled down, the perverted teacher instructed "Today we will be doing an experiment. We will be making goop that explodes." He took a beaker and filled it with water, glue, and red dye. "Mix the ingredients well." He did so. "This part is a little dull. Pour the baking soda in slowly so the mixture won't suddenly burst. After, quickly cover the beaker with the bowl and wait." There suddenly was a BOOM and the mixture blew up. Kakashi smiled, "Now devils― I mean students, it's your turn. Remember; don't put too much baking soda."
Sakura looked at the ingredients. On her desk had glue, water, baking soda, purple dye, a spoon and a bowl. Seems simple enough. She took the beaker and filled it with the glue and water. Afterward, she took the spoon and mixed it until the combination until was a creamy white. Sakura added the purple dye. It looked so pretty. Lastly, she poured the baking soda in slowly.
'I wonder what step Sasuke's on. One peek won't hurt. ' She thought. Her eyes looked to her right. Sasuke was mixing his blue blend with an elbow on the table. His hair had a tint of blue in it because of the way the light was hitting it. Sakura wanted to feel if his hair was natural, or gelled. But, she couldn't because she was pouring the baking so―OH NO! THE BAKING SODA! SHIIIIT!
Sakura whipped her head to look at the mix. Bad move. Her mixture exploded all over her face, neck, and hair. The whole class was silent out of shock, and then erupted into laughter again. Sakura wiped her face with her hands and looked around the room. Everyone was looking at her, laughing at her. Even Kakashi! Sakura's face heated up and buried her face in her hands, but then remembered that her hands were covered in goo as well.
'Fuck…'
"Sakura," Kakashi chucked. "I suggest you -laugh- go to the nurse -snort- to get cleaned up." Duh. "You also have -gasp- detention after school."
"Yes, sir." She ran to the door with her things. Right before she ran out, Kakashi added, "Oh and Sakura? Next time, please control your fantasies and pay attention in class." Sakura closed the door, but that didn't stop her from hearing her classmates snicker.
Sakura stayed in the nurse's room for the rest of the period. She couldn't go back, she would die of humiliation. So she waited there until the bell rang for break.
At break, she went by the big tree where she usually met TenTen and Hinata. She waited and waited and waited until they FINALLY came.
"Sorry Sakura. We were stuck in class." Hinata explained.
TenTen smiled, "Hey, can we go watch the boys play football?" They looked at each other and nodded.
On the field were all the athletic boys. That included Sasuke, Naruto, Neji, Lee, Garra, Kankuro, Sai, Suigetsu, Juugo, Kiba, Shino, and other boys that were little freshmen and sophomores. On the side were Chouji and Shikamaru as score keepers and a whole bunch of girls as cheerleaders with the captains, Ino and Karin.
"Go long!" Naruto shouted to Sai, who was new to football. Because of this, he didn't know what 'go long' meant. So he just stood there, watching the football fly in the air toward a pink hair girl.
"Ohmygod Sakura! It's coming to you! Catch it!" TenTen shouted.
Sakura looked and her energetic friend. "Huh? What?" She looked in front of her and went cross-eyed before the ball hit her right in the middle of her forehead. She fell to the ground as her vision went fuzzy.
"NOO! NOW MY FOREHEAD'S GOING TO BE SWOLLEN! IT'S GOING TO BE EVEN BIGGER!"
As Sakura slowly got up from the ground and glared at Naruto. "I. AM. GOING. TO. KILL. YOU." He shrunk back and said, "It wasn't my fault! Sai didn't catch it!" Sakura's glare went to Sai. "YOU. TOO."
'Which shall I murder first, Naruto or Sai. Hmmm… ' Sakura debated in her head. Sai didn't really know how to play football and Naruto was the one who threw it in her direction. So, she chose Naruto. She stalked toward him and gave him the hardest punch she could muster. Then, Sakura turned to Sai.
Before she could do anything, Said looked at her and stated, "Your forehead is extremely large. Did you know that? It's kind of ugly."
No one ever talks about Sakura's forehead. EVER. She smiled a fake smile and said,"Thank you for telling me. I never knew that."
"No problem," Said replied as he started walking back to the field. But after his second step, he was on the ground with Sakura pounding him.
"SAKURA!! STOP! YOU'RE GOING TO KILL HIM!" TenTen cried with fear was in her voice.
"I DON'T CARE!HE MADE FUN OF MY FOREHEAD! I HOPE HE DIES!" It took 4 football players to get her off him. Sakura brushed the dirt off her and huffed. "That's what you get." Sai gave her a confused look. He remembered that one of his books told him to point out problems about people like if they have toilet paper on them or food in their teeth.
Right then, the bell rang for class. Time for health.
She stalked off into the gym and sat on the bleachers. Her teacher was Anko. "Today we will be practicing the mouth-to-mouth technique." All of the girls glanced in Sasuke's direction. "You will be partnered up with someone of the opposite gender." Then, she said the partners. "TenTen and Neji, Naruto and Hinata… hey look. Hinata fainted. Perfect." She continued saying names. More people kept getting partnered. "Karin and Suigetsu…"
'Oh my gosh! I might be partnered with Sasuke! Four more people left!'
"Sakura and… Lee. And lastly, Sasuke and Ino." Ino cheered while Lee exclaimed, "YOSH! I GET TO BE WITH THE BEAUTIFUL BLOSSOM!" He puckered his lips at the so-called blossom, which was lying on the ground with her eyes tightly shut and mouth slightly open. At that moment, she felt a pair of wet lips on her mouth. Sakura tried really hard not to gag, but failed miserably. Lee took this as if Sakura was pretending to wake up. When it was Sakura's turn, she just licked her fingers when Ankowasn't looking and put them on Lee's lips and blew on them, which worked quite well.
The bell rang for the next class. Sakura gathered her things and went to English with Asuma.
During that class, sleep took over Sakura and the next thing she knew, the bell rang and she had lunch detention, trash pick-up. She put on her gloves and went out to pick up trash in the quad. Wrong time though. A little freshmen that was running ran into Sakura, his greasy pizza now all over her shirt.
She was about to kill the freshmen. "I'm so sorry! Let me help you clean it up!" The shortie offered with a snicker. He reached up and wiped the sauce off, which happened to be on her right breast. Sakura yelled in fury and hit the kid with the garbage bag. The pervert ran away with chocolate milk in his hair.
'Can this day get any worse?'
Lunch was over, and the last class she had for the day was P.E. They were playing with Frisbees.
"Now youthful students! Let's practice our Frisbee skills! " Gai called Lee up to demonstrate. He threw the Frisbee at his mini me, who caught it one-handed. "Now youthful students! Try!" Sakura partnered with Hinata and they started throwing the green Frisbee back and forth. When Hinata was throwing it, the wind pickup and make the Frisbee go farther back that it was intended to go. Sakura, wanting to prove that she was good, ran backwards trying to catch the Frisbee.
"Sakura! Stop!" Hinata warned. But she was too late. Sakura fell into the deep swimming pool. When she got out, he clothes were soaked and clung to her flushed skin. She reeked of clorine.
'That's it! This is officially the worst day EVER!'
The rest of the period Sakura was in the nurse's office, once again, to dry off. The last bell rang and school was finally over for the day.
'Whoop dee doo. I still have detention.' Sakura sulked. She walked toward her science class.
When she entered, Kakashi gave her a sympathetic look. "You know what?" he said. "I heard about what happened to you today. I feel like you have been punished enough." Her silver haired teacher chuckled.
"Yay!" Sakura gave Kakashi a quick hug and went to her baby. (Her car.) While she skipped to the parking lot, she heard a voice "But Sasuke! I thought we had something special!"
Sakura skidded to a stop and tip-toed to the voice, which clearly belonged to Ino. She peeked around the corner and saw Sasuke and her rival. Sasuke looked annoying while Ino was in tears.
"No. We didn't." Sasuke declared.
"One more week! Please?!" Ino begged. God, she sounded desperate.
"No."
"But I love you!"
"No. You don't."
"Yes I do! I would do anything for you!"
"Then leave me alone." With that, Sasuke got in his Bugatti Veyron and left the school grounds.
Ino sat down and cried.
Sakura walked over to her ex-best friend. It was payback time. "Aww. Did Ino-pig get dumped? Again. "
Ino looked up, teary eyed. "Go away, Forehead. I don't want to talk about it."
"Okay. But if you ever need someone to talk to, you know my number! I'll be glad to talk about all the reasons why he left you." Sakura grinned and went to her car and drove home, with one thought in her mind.
"Today is officially the best day ever!"
