That's what you get by Paramore
Sakura stood in front of the gates of KonohaSchool of the Arts. She had arrived well before the bell was supposed to ring but she couldn't bring herself to walk into her new school just yet. She sighed deeply before checking her watch. Twenty minutes until the bell rang. She had no choice now. She still had to get her schedule from the Principal so she entered the school gates before the temptation of ditching got too tempting.
She had transferred from Suna Athletic Academy to Konoha School of the Arts after an accident during one of her performances had effectively ended her career as a dancer. Her hopes and dreams now with her one secret hobby-which had gotten her into this school,-kept her going even though she wasn't too happy about it.
Sakura had always thought that she was a terrible singer but, that was just her opinion. Her family and friends assured her that she was wonderful at singing which only made her sadder. She didn't want to be a singer. Sure it was fun as a hobby but she had always pictured herself on stage dancing, showing emotion, and telling stories with the grace of her body-not the soft melody of her voice.
She also missed her friends and nothing was going to stop that pain. She had walked into the main building by now ignoring the quick glances and whispers around her. It was natural as she was the new girl after all.
"I wanna go back to my old life…"she mumbled quietly when someone tapped her on the shoulder.
"Hmm?" Sakura was confused. Who would dare to talk to the newcomer who was no less coming from their rival school. She turned around her face lighting up in a huge grin as the recognition of the two girls behind her hit her hard.
"TEMARI, TEN TEN!" She exclaimed hugging her best friends fast and whole heartedly.
"Whoa! Missed us already Pinky?" Temari asked a wolf like smile playing at her lips.
"I can't believe we haven't even been apart for twenty-four hours and she misses us." Ten Ten said playfully her tone loving. "As happy as we are to see you too Saku, can you let us go? We've gotta breathe sometime you know."
"Sorry," Sakura cried sheepishly releasing her friends.
"It's okay. So what were you doing? We have to go see the Principal apparently." The sandy blonde haired girl declared with an eye roll as she dusted off her uniform.
The Konoha high school division uniform for the girls consisted of a leaf green over coat, white short sleeve or long sleeve button up shirt as the undershirt, a mid thigh or knee length leaf green skirt and a leaf green bow that went around the collar,. Boys wore the same green over coat and white undershirt but they wore khaki pants in place of the girls' skirts. They also wore ties, not bows.
OpportunitySakura thought a smile gracing her lips as she retaliated.
"Already? Wow. I at least thought you'd wait until the school day actually started to get in trouble, especially when it's your first day at a new school."
"Well, Temari always likes to get the leap on us," Ten Ten joined in the teasing as Temari turned a bright red.
"I said WE. So, therefore you got the jump on Sakura too Ten," Temari argued a tone dripped in certain victory.
Sakura was about to make a comeback when Ten Ten reminded them that they had a mission to take care of first. And side by side they wandered the halls until they found the principal's office.
They walked in the huge double doors to be greeted by the secretary. She had short black hair and brown eyes that followed them as they walked in.
"You must be the Suna transfer students. A moment please," She picked up the phone on her desk and dialed a number quickly.
"What?" Tsunade barked into the phone that's ringing irritated her so much that she had opted to answer it to here a human voice rather than the obnoxious ringing.
"The transfer students are here should I send them in?" Shizune asked typing away as she spoke.
"What?! Already, but it's too early..."Tsunade moaned into the phone holding an icepack to her throbbing head her hangover kicking her butt.
"Okay I'll send them in right away." Shizune said happily hanging up before Tsunade could complain.
"Okay, go on in. She'll be happy to see you." Shizune said a smile on her face.
The girls looked at each other and shrugged before making their way to the door the read "Principal".
Tsunade growled as she hung up her phone and put the icepack away just as the door to her office opened.
"Here are your schedules and a map of the school. Don't come back. "Tsunade hurriedly handed each of the startled girls two pieces of paper and shoved them out of her office.
"Okay?" the girls stood there as the office door slammed in their faces. They were shocked for a second before turning and making their way out of the office leaving a laughing Shizune behind.
"What a strange school..." Sakura commented putting the map behind her schedule so she could get some sort of idea of where she was supposed to go.
"Really, really strange you mean," Ten Ten added as she also looked at her schedule.
"Well, what did you get?" Temari was done looking having already folded the piece of paper up and stuffed it in her bag.
Sakura opened her mouth; Ten Ten already had the first syllable out, when the bell rang.
"Oh, well bye! I'll text you in class!" Temari yelled making her way down the east way of the hallway, map in hand, as she made her journey to Music Theory.
"Bye!" Tenten yelled to Temari, hugged Sakura then ran off to Choir.
"Bye!" Sakura waved, took a look at her map and unknowingly tried to find her way to the same choir class as Ten Ten.
She had eventually got to class about 10 minutes after the bell rang. She had to ask for help from a security monitor named Genma who made sense of her map and pointed her in the right direction.
She paused, and then nervously walked into the class. The teacher was in the middle of talking but turned to look at Sakura. She had layered black hair and beautiful red eyes.
"Hello,"
"Hi. I'm Sakura, Sakura Haruno." She held out her schedule and the pass Genma had given her. A bandaged hand reached out and took them.
"I hope you won't be late again Miss Haruno. Please, take a seat." Ms. Kurenai said after a second. She handed the schedule back and put the late pass on her desk. Sakura nodded her head and noticed for the first time that Ten Ten was sitting with the students she waved to her and took the only available seat left which was by a boy with dark blue hair.
"Okay class seeing as Miss Ten Ten and Miss Sakura are new to our class why don't they show us what they can do by singing us a song?" asked Kurenai as she paced the front of the room.
Sakura and Ten Ten looked at each other for a second before they smiled, nodded their heads and made their way down to stand by their teacher.
"Okay Sakura what song should we do?" Ten Ten whispered to her friend.
"You know which song" Sakura said with a devious smile:
Sakura: No sir, well I don't wanna be the blame, not anymore.
It's your turn, so take a seat we're settling the final score.
And why do we like to hurt so much?
Tenten: I can't decide
You have made it harder just to go on
And why, all the possibilities, well I was wrong
Both: That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.
That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.
I drowned out all my sense with the sound of its beating.
And that's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.
Sakura: I wonder, how am I supposed to feel when you're not here.
'Cause I burned every bridge I ever built when you were here.
Tenten: I still try, holding onto silly things, I never learn
Oh why, all the possibilities I'm sure you've heard.
Both: That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.
That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.
I drowned out all my sense with the sound of its beating (beating)
And that's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.
Sakura: Hey, Pain make your way to me, to me.
And I'll always be just so inviting.
Both: If I ever start to think straight,
Tenten: This heart will start a riot in me,
Let's start, start, hey!
Sakura: Why do we like to hurt so much?
Tenten: Oh why do we like to hurt so much?
Both: That's what you get when you let your heart win!
Whoa.
That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.
That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.
Now I can't trust myself with anything but this,
And that's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa!
Most of the class stared at them shocked. After all they had come from Suna. They stayed quiet, Sakura and Ten Ten stared at them when someone finally stared to clap. The class followed, with a few cheers here and there too.
"Well, I guess the dancer and the athlete are good at singing too. You can go and take your seats. Oh and by the way, welcome to Konoha." Ms. Kurenai shook both Sakura and Ten Ten's hand. The girls smiled at each other.
"I guess it won't be so bad." Sakura said.
