Full Summary- Naruto and Sakura have been best friends since..forever! Forever as in...anyone that knew them knew they shared a tight bond. From playing in the rain together, to telling all of their secrets. But...not all of their secrets. For most of the time they were friends, Naruto hasn't been able to tell Sakura that he loves her, but Sakura only sees him as a best friend. Meanwhile, Sasuke, an exchange student, comes into play, and is the immediate heart throb to everyone...including Sakura! Can Naruto tell her how he feels before anything happens between Sasuke and Sakura? Based on the Filipino movie Close to You.
It shows that I have appreciation to my native culture's entertainment...the idea struck me in my sleep. Everything does that to me. -sighs-
This is my first attempt on a high school/AU (alternate universe) fic...so don't kill me. Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, or Close to You. Only this plot and...that's about it.
It was 3 o'clock, school was about to end soon. Naruto watched the clock with an impatient look. He really wanted to get out of school. He REALLY did. Why do you ask?
It was Friday! Who didn't want to get out of school on a Friday?
the blonde thought impatiently."So, while the denominator stays as 7, what does the numerator become?" the teacher asked. No sounds were made, until a hand shot up.
"12," a blue-haired girl replied to the teacher's question. That was Hyuuga Hinata. She was really smart, and one of Naruto's close friends. Naruto focused on the chalkboard, which he doesn't do often, to see the fraction problem Hinata had just solved. It's not like the boy's blue eyes focused on alot. Especially math. Oh boy, did Naruto hate that subject. And the fact he took Geometry didn't help him any. Even if he detested it, he was good. That's why he'd been places in the same class as Hinata, who was the current valedictorian of the class.
"Good job Hinata," the brunette teacher congratulated her.
"Thank you ma'am," she replied.
As the teacher's lesson continues (and continued to bore the poor blonde boy to death), one thought crawled into his mind that always does. His best friend since Kindergarten, in grade school, all through middle school, and now, Sophmore year. The girl named:
Haruno Sakura.
The boy mentally blushed at the mere thought of the girl he spent most of his time with. He had loved her, day after day, night after night, and much more than that. Hour after hour, minute after minute second after--
"DING!" the bell rang abruptly through every classroom in the school. It was very loud, which somewhat distracted Naruto from his usual "Sakura thinking of". But it also brought a message of excitement, energy, and "it's the weekend, now go party your asses off!"
"Yatte!" Naruto stood up from his chair with his arms up. It was plainly obvious he was excited for school to be over, let alone math.
"Naruto, I didn't dismiss you yet, so stay put," the teacher scolded in a flat tone.
"Sorry," he replied sheepishly. The whole class roared with laughter, especially Hinata.
As Naruto sat back down, the teacher said a few words before telling the class to get out. Because of Naruto's "interruption", the class was a bit late for dismissal.
"I can see you're excited Naruto-kun," Hinata declared to the blonde.
"It's Friday! Who wouldn't be excited?!" he questioned his indigo-haired friend. While walking down the hall, the 2 spotted a familiar
blob of pink hair.
"Sakura-chan!" Naruto yelled while running towards it. Hinata ran after him, obviously because she was going to hang out with them.
"Naruto-kun," she replied turning. "Oh, Hey Hinata-chan," the pink haired girl greeted Hinata. The girl replied with a smile.
"So, what's the plan for today?" Naruto asked his two girl friends.
"Oh...you guys, Father won't let me out this weekend..." Hinata added. "We're having a so called "clan meeting" as he puts it," she said accompaning her statement with the usual "quotes" hand motions.
"Darn, I was going to plan a movie night for us," Sakura complained. "But I wouldn't wanna mess with you dad Hinata-chan, remember the last time?" the girl asked her friend, recalling that one time when Hinata sneaked out of the house the last clan meeting, and got...well, let's just say "disciplined".
"Oh...right," Hinata remember, rubbing her head. "My head still hurts sometimes from that."
Naruto was dumbfounded for a while until Hinata started rubbing her head. He remembered that night...it was his turn to plan that weekend. He felt bad about it, since he thought it was his fault for planning it in the first place.
"So, Naruto-kun, you up for a movie? " the pink-haired girl asked the blonde. "I've got the Pirates trilogy you've been dying to see!"
The blonde's face beamed with excitement. "R-Really?"
"Of course, I wouldn't lie to you, now would I?"
"I guess not...well, not about that!"
"You guys are so lucky, Neji-niisan's just going to pick on me the whole time." Hinata pouted at her two friends. "And I know I'll be wanting to watch Pirates while he makes fun of my hair," she added, noting her indigo hair while everyone else's in the Hyuuga clan was some sort of brown. She didn't appreciate it, but she also didn't try dying it becuase her father would freak. It's happened before.
"Aww, Hinata-chan," Sakura said. "Maybe next weekend we'll plan something extra special, just for you!"
"Would you do that?" the Hyuuga asked her pink haired friend.
"Of course! I wouldn't let my friend's older cousin insult her and make her self esteem go so low it goes down the drain mainly because of her hair without doing something to cheer her up after!" Sakura said with a smile on her face. Hinata's pale eyes went half lidded.
"Thanks Sakura-chan. Thanks for the..support." she replied sarcastically.
Their conversation continued, and the trio happily exited the school building with the rest of the congregation
And what I mean by Pirates is Pirates of the Caribbean. I asked my friend "What's a good movie?" and she named the trilogy. I guess. So, I took that into consideration and used it. Sorry if you didn't understand. And the "quote" hand motions...if you didn't understand that, just see Dr. Evil from Austin Powers revealing his plan...whenever he says the important stuffs, doing that "quotes" hand motion...whatever you call it.
I think I'll lay off of Lost in the Real World for a while, for those of you who actually read ALL of my stories...it's getting sorta hard, so I'll be writing Reunions and this.
