That's What You Get- Paramore
Sakura had lived with her Aunt Kotori for as long as she could remember. On the day Sakura turned thirteen her aunt had died, leaving her to fend for herself. Her aunt had set up an emergency fund. So, money wasn't really an issue, but Sakura wanted to save up money for college so she worked her butt off at a restaurant. She hated not being able to hangout with her friends Tenten, Ino, Temari, and Hinata as much as she would like to, but she saw them at school. The apartment she lived in wasn't bad. It had a bathroom, small kitchen, living room, bedroom, and even a small dining room.
"Come get your food," Sakura yelled for her kitten, Nikki. She laughed as the small brown kitten appeared out of nowhere and started eating. The kitten finished it's food and started to rub against her leg.
"No more, sorry," She told the purring creature. The kitten, realizing it wasn't going to get more, ran off to find a place to nap. Sakura looked in the mirror hanging on the hallway wall. She was wearing a pair of dark blue skinny jeans, and a black tang top with a pair of black and white converse. She had her pink hair pulled up into a pony tail. All in all Sakura looked pretty. She got attention from boys since the 7th grade when she got boobs. She was now a sophomore in High School and a 36b in bra size, so she constantly had guys asking her out. She threw her back pack over her shoulder and walked to her car. It wasn't a great car, but it did it's job. It had been a gift from her friends, who all chipped in to buy it for her. She drove to school listening to her favorite Paramore cd. She parked quickly and hurried to class. Sakura took her seat in English next to Naruto. Who basically ignored her. He was one of the popular boys. Naruto and Sakura used to be best friends, but then came High School. Naruto's outfit usually had orange in them somewhere seeing as it was his favorite color. Today he was sporting a orange t-shirt with a regular pair of jeans. Her friend Hinata has had a crush on him since Kindergarten, but she gets all shy around him and starts to stutter. She has always had the feeling he likes Hinata back, but Hinata made her promise not to say anything. Sakura brushed the thoughts away and pulled out her Ipod.
Sakura hurried to lunch, hoping to catch her friends. In the hallway, she ran into Sasuke.
"Watch where your going!" He said dusting himself off. Sasuke was wearing a simple outfit that consisted of a black band tee and a slightly baggy pair of jeans. Most girls would have drooled at this sight, but not Sakura. Sakura hated Sasuke he was a rich stuck up jerk, who never had to work for anything in his life. He even had a group of fan girls dedicated to him. It just made her so mad.
"Bite me!" She growled, glaring at him.
"Maybe I will," He said walking toward her.
"Don't you dare," She warned backing up. She didn't notice the hall was completely empty now. She backed into a locker, as he continued to walk forward. He put both his arms on either side of her head, slamming them into the lockers. When he did this Sakura had a flash back and started to shake. Sasuke watched her expression change from angry to fear, and smirked.
"If you don't want it, don't ask," He whispered into her ear. Sakura shivered in fear.
"I didn't ask," She said, meaning for her voice to be loud, but it shook instead. Sasuke laughed and walked away from her. After he was out of sight, Sakura slid down the locker and sat on the ground. She pulled her knees to her chest.
"Sakura you alright?" A small voice asked. She looked up to see Hinata standing in front of her. Hinata wore a pair of black skinny jeans, a light blue t-shirt, and a pair of black flats. She had her raven black hair pulled into a high pony tail. Sakura smiled slightly at the shy girl and stood.
"I'm fine," She said, lying through her teeth. Hinata knew she wasn't telling the truth, but didn't press the matter. Sakura looped her arm through Hinata's and walked outside. She easily spotted Ino and Tenten. Ino was wearing a short purple halter dress with black heels. She had her blond hair down for once. Tenten was wearing her favorite black Chinese style top, with a short jean skirt. Her brown hair pulled up in its regular buns. Temari was sitting at the picnic table beside them. She was wearing a light pink shirt with a pair of short shorts, and a pair of wore black converse. She had grown out her blond hair and it now reached her shoulders.
"Sakura, Hinata!" Ino yelled, calling them over. They walked to the table.
"You'll never guess who asked me out!" Ino said excitedly. Sakura knew, but went along with it anyway. Temari just rolled her eyes.
"Who?" Hinata politely asked.
"Shikamaru!" Ino yelled, jumping up and down. Which Sakura would have thought impossible with the heels Ino was wearing.
"What did you say?" Hinata asked, curiosity in her pale eyes.
"Yes, of course!" The blonde shouted, "The date is this Friday, so you all need to come over to help me pick out an outfit."
"Oh no," Tenten moaned.
"It's not that bad, we could have fun," Sakura said staring at the girl.
"Not that," She said staring in another direction, "That," She pointed. Sakura turned to look, and saw why she was so upset. Neji was walking with a pretty girl at his side. They assumed it was his new girlfriend, especially the way the held hands.
"They won't be together for long," Hinata said quietly.
"What do you mean?" Sakura asked.
"He never dates one girl for too long, he says he gets bored," Hinata said staring at her feet. Tenten sighed she had already knew she had no chance with him.
"Look it's Naruto!" Sakura said, trying to change the subject. Hinata's eyes shot up as a blush cover her cheeks. Hinata looked at Naruto, who was walking with a friend of hers Kiba. Kiba's dark brown hair and matching eyes, accompanied by the fact he was a basketball star at the school, made him very popular. He had his own assortment of fan girls as well.
"Hey Hinata!" Kiba yelled walking over to the group of girls. Hinata was one of his best friends. He knew she had a crush on Naruto so he dragged him over. Sakura knew what he was doing, so she helped him.
"H-hello K-kiba," Hinata said stuttering, "N-naruto," She started at her shoes.
"Hello Hinata," Naruto said, watching her.
"So, Naruto how are you today?" Tenten asked smiling. As she nudged Hinata closer. Luckily no one else noticed this small movement. Just then Choji ran by acciently knocking Hinata over on his way to the cafeteria for food. Hinata fell on top of Naruto, blushing like crazy. She fell so that her waist was in between his legs and her head on his chest.
"Wow, he must have really been hungry," Naruto said, "Huh Hinata."
"Yeah," She said giggling. For some reason this embarrassing moment they now shared helped her get over her stuttering problem. Which only happened around him. He stood helping her up, but as soon as she put weight on her right ankle she yelped with pain and grabbed onto Naruto for support. He looked at her worried.
"What's wrong?" Sakura asked frantically. Naruto wrapped his arm around her waist supported her weight.
"My ankle, it really hurts," Hinata said whimpering.
"Here climb on my back and I'll carry you to the office," Naruto said to her.
"No I'm fine really," She said releasing him, but the pain got to her and she grabbed a hold of his arm again. He turned around and she climbed onto his back. She was still blushing, and she smiled weakly at Sakura. Naruto lifted her like she weighted nothing.
"Hope you feel better," Sakura said smiling. Hinata smiled back as Naruto walked in the direction of the office.
"Well, I didn't expect it to work out like that, but it worked!" Sakura said, smiling widely at Kiba.
"Yes it did," Kiba said, giving her a high five. Sakura gasped as a arm grabbed her from behind and a hand covered her eyes.
"Guess who?" A deep voice whispered. Sakura knew that voice.
"Deidara!" She yelled squirming out of his arms," Let me go!" He released her and she fell on her butt. He helped her up and smiled. She lightly smacked his arm. She had been his friend for years, even though he was older than her. Deidara wore his usually punk rocker clothes, It was a band tee with a pair of jeans. He had his long blond hair pulled up into a ponytail.
"That wasn't nice!" Sakura exclaimed, glaring at him.
"Oh come on that was funny!" He said laughing. She childishly stuck out her tongue at him.
"Why do I hang out with you guys?" Ino growled.
"Because we have been friends for like ever," Sakura said smiling and hugging her friend.
"True," Ino said, laughing.
"Hey Kiba," A voice said. Sakura turned to see none other than Sasuke standing there.
"We have basket ball practice," Sasuke said smirking, "Hey Sakura." She paled and hid behind Tenten. She had no idea why he scared her as much as he did, but being her she tried to shake it off.
"H-hello Sasuke," Sakura said quietly. Damn I stuttered She thought to herself. He chuckled and walked away with Kiba following him. Sakura stood there in a daze. She would have collapsed it Deidara hadn't seen it coming and grabbed her. He wrapped his arm around her waist and held her up. He sat her on the picnic table, and stood beside her worried. He ran his fingers through her soft pink hair. Her green eyes were staring off into the distance. She ran over to the garbage can and threw up. She nearly collapsed again, but Deidara lifted her into his arms, bridal style, and carried her to the office. He set her down in a chair next to a garbage, just in case. Sakura stood, walking to the secretary.
"Can I go home?" She asked quietly. Another wave of nausea hit her, and she threw up in the closet garbage can.
"Name?" The lady asked going through papers on her desk.
"Sakura Haruno," She said slightly swaying.
"I'll need a parent or guardian's permission," The lady said.
"They're dead," She said.
"Oh," The woman said looking up at me.
"She's really sick can I drive her home?" Deidara said.
"Yes, of course. I'll sign her out," The woman said.
"Thanks," Deidara told her. He grabbed a hold of Sakura and walked her to his car.
"I can drive myself," She said pouting.
"Not in your condition," He said watching her, "Please don't throw up in my car. I just cleaned it."
"That's why I should drive myself," Sakura said walking away. Her car was across the parking lot. She stumbled and would have fallen face first, but an arm saved her. She looked up at her savior. It was Shino, a good friend of hers.
"Thanks," She said to him.
"It's okay, just be more careful," He said, looking worried. He released her waist and stepped back.
"I give you a hug, but I'm kinda sick," She said, resting her hand on her stomach.
"That's okay, do you have a ride home?" He asked her quietly.
"Deidara is driving me. Don't worry," Sakura said, reluctantly walking back to Deidara's car.
"Let's go then. I'm going to be late for 5th period, if we take to long," Deidara said waving to Shino. Shino waved, and then quickly walked away. Sakura got in the car. She rested her head back on the seat. Deidara drove quickly to her apartment. He was one of the people she trusted with her address. Only her best friends know where she lives. The car stopped and Sakura looked up. They were already at her apartment.
"Will you need a ride in the morning?" Deidara asked.
"I have Hinata drive me," She told him, getting out of his car.
"See you tomorrow," He said waving.
"Bye," Sakura said turning away and walking to her apartment. Once she got there she couldn't even lay down in her bed, she sat on the floor of her bathroom. Throwing up every five minutes. She clutched her cell phone to her. She texted her friend Tenten, whose mother owns the restaurant Sakura works at.
I'm really sick, tell your mom I can't make it to work. -Sakura.
She texted then leaned over the toilet to throw up again. Her phone went off. Tenten texted her back.
I'll cover your shift, but you own me. -Tenten
Sakura loved her friends. They all became her adopted family. Sakura finally felt good enough to lay down in her bed. She curled up in her bed. Nikki, obviously knew she was sick and stayed by her side. She had forgot to feed the poor cat. She got up stumbling and went into the kitchen. She braced herself on the fridge and gave her cat it's food. She got a water bottle, remembering how her aunt used to tell her to drink water when she was sick. She chugged it, she hadn't realized how thirsty she was. There was a knock at her door. She walked over to the door, and collapsed in front of it. Sitting on the ground she opened the door. Temari stood there with her brothers, Gaara and Kankuro. Temari was shocked to she Sakura in such a weak state. This girl barely looked like Sakura, she was pale and sickly. Sakura shivered and looked up, her bright green eyes blank.
"Don't come near me, I don't want to get you guys sick," Sakura said her voice weak. She stood, her legs wobbling. She leaned on the door, trying not to fall over.
"She's got a point," Kankuro said, receiving a death glare from Temari. Gaara just watched the poor girl try to stand straight. Temari wrapped her arms around Sakura's waist and lifted her. She carried her to her bed and gently set her down.
"Sakura you should get out of those hot clothes," Temari said, motioning for the boys to get out. She locked the door behind them. "I trust Gaara, but Kankuro on the other hand."
"I'm really tired," Sakura said as Temari steadied her so she could change. She pulled off her t-shirt and jeans, replacing them with a tang top and pajama pants. She laid back in her bed.
"Are you going to be okay?" Temari asked her.
"Yeah," Sakura said weakly.
"My number is speed dial four in your phone, so if you need anything just call," Temari said setting Sakura's black phone on her bed stand. Temari waved and left her room. Sakura wondered how she got such great friends.
