Profound in a Superficial Disguise


Prologue


"Sakura-chan's very smart!"

"Yeah, she's the smartest one in our class!"

"And she takes classes at the university and she's only a high school student."

Yeah, you could say that I'm smart. Though, I'd prefer a different word that defined me as smart. Maybe intelligent or knowledgeable? Or perhaps, I really am 'smart'? Perhaps I'm just in a case of self-denial? Maybe I don't want to be classified as smart because of its multiple meanings?

Smart:

1. (verb) to cause a sharp pain to or in.

2. (adjective) having or showing quick intelligence or ready mental capability.

3. (noun) a sharp local pain, usually superficial, as from a wound, blow or sting; keen mental suffering, as from wounded feelings, affliction, grievous loss, etc.

Welcome to my smart life. My name is Haruno Sakura, aka: the Smart Girl.
