Chapter 1: Just Say 'I Love You'
by: Ms. Cinnamon
"Sakura, the mail is here! Hurry up. It seems like there is something addressed to you!"
My mom exclaimed, screaming like crazy. It only took me a fraction of five seconds later on, to find out that the letter that had deprived me of sleep for countless of nights, was finally in my hands. The same letter that would no doubt, change my life.
"Hurry up and open it!"
My mother screamed. As I slowly began tearing a small amount of the envelope, thoughts ran through my head.
Did I really want to know the answer? What if it was a big fat declining letter. Oh now I started to have doubts run through my head. Though, wait a second…what if it was a big acceptance letter? My fingers were already trembling as I pulled the neatly folded white paper and began reading it….
Dear Ms Haruno.
We are delighted to inform you that you have been accepted in Konoha High. We hope to see you soon. We also like to remember you that in Konoha High we give the best of ourselves everyday so we hope you do the same. All that's left to say is Welcome to our beloved school!!
Sincerely yours.
Director Tsunade
"I made it!" I exclaimed, shocked that my dream finally came true. It was part of my childhood fantasies to be able to study in a prestigious school. Finally! My prayers were being answered.
I felt a presence from behind. The same arms that came and wrapped themselves around my form. The same arms that I knew, no doubt, belonged to my beloved dear mother.
"I'm so proud of you." She sad, with tears of joy in the corner of her eyes.
I finally came back from my stupor and plastered a huge smile on my face.
"I'm going ti make your favorite meal. We have to celebrate!" she said, a wonderful bright smile plastered on her face.
I was too emotional to even think of a proper way to thank her. Instead, I proceeded to thank her in the traditional way.
"Thanks, Mom." I said,making sure that every word and every syllable were laced with gratitude.
"So, when do class start for you?" she questioned, leaning over the couch I was seated on ever so slightly.
"I…don't know." I said with a bit of confusion in her voice. "It doesn't mention anything in the letter― oh wait! There's another folded paper in here!" I said, slowly pulling the other piece of paper all the way out of the envelope and began to read:
Dear Ms. Haruno:
Classes start September 9th. So we hope to see you on that very day. On the first day your schedule will be given to you. We inform you that you will be staying inside the campus, your room number is 401, your roommate will be helping you with your stuff, and if you have any questions she will be more than delighted to help you. Hope you have a great day Ms. Haruno.
Sincerely yours
Director Tsunade.
Well I think I should start packing I had to leave in two days…
And so I did.
2 days later
"We're here, Sakura!" my Mom said, cheerfully. More so than I had expected. I could tell that the tone she used was fake, but I dare not mention it to her.
"Mom, you don't have to worry about me. Everything will be fine!" I said, reassurance laced in every word and every syllable. I had to make sure that my Mom was convinced.
"Yeah…I know, but it's going to be quite lonely around here without you." She said softly
"Oh, Mom! Please don't cry! I already told you that I will definitely visit you on our Christmas Break, alright?"
"Fine. Well you should ho now. Good luck, honey! I love you!" she said, kissing me on the cheek before starting to pull out and drive away.
Well, it was just me alone right now…I guess. Maybe I should drop my stuff off in my room.
I started to walk around campus. Searching for the dorms. The only problem was though, the school was so damn huge! Where should I go? I had absolutely no idea where the room dorm buildings were located.
I was too absorbed in my own worried thoughts before I was pulled out by a loud yelp following a thud.
"Oh my God! I am so sorry!I wasn't really paying attention to where I was going!" I apologized, helping the girl I bumped to up her feet.
She had long black, raven hair and beautiful lavender eyes.
"Don't worry. I'm fine." She said to me, a smile plastering on her face.
"Hinata! Are you okay?"
A boy with long brown hair, with the same eyes as Hinata, came running from the direction behind her. Maybe they were related.
"Yes, Neji-nii-san? Don't worry. I'm fine." She said.
"Alright then. Just be careful. There are tons of dumb people that don't watch were they're walking." He said, sending me a quick glare before starting to walk away.
What was his problem? I mean, it was only just an accident!
"I'm sorry about that. Neji-nii-san is always protective of me. He kind of…scared people, but he is a nice guy once you get to know him truly." Hinata had explained.
"Don't worry about it, by the way, I'm Haruno Sakura." I replied with a smile of my own.
"Nice to meet you, Sakura-san. I'm Hyuuga Hinata."
Hinata seemed like such a nice and sweet girl.
"No need to use formalities with me, Hinata." I told her, laughing my head off,
"Alright then…. Sakura-chan."
"Well that's a bit better." I said, grinning,
"So, Sakura-chan. You're new here, right? I've never seen you around here before…and it's not quite difficult to not see you…oh, I-I mean…." Hinata started playing with her fingers. She probably thought that I was going to get mad at her for mentioning my hair in that light.
I have been bullied at times before on my hair, and I could tell that Hinata didn't mean what she had said in a bad way. She didn't seem like the kind of person that insulted you for no apparent reason.
"Yeah, I am new here. It's my first day, but I'm kind of…lost. Would you mind helping me? If you can't, it's alright. I'm not really forcing you to."
"Don't worry, Sakura-chan." Hinata started, " I'll help you find your room by all means necessary. What's your room number?"
"Room 401." I said.
"Oh, we're near that room. Let's go then. I'll show you the way." Hinata said as she started to walk in the different direction I was generally walking to on the way before I bumped into her.
We were already outside the buildings that held the different classrooms. It was a five-story building. We continued to walk till we were behind that building. Passing by a pretty fountain that had angels with books on their hands as sculptures or designs for the marble fountain.
We continued on our journey till we stopped infront of a building that was a total of what seemed like a 20-story building.
"Here is where the dorms are located. Your room is in the 10th floor."
We stepped in the elevator, and before I knew it, were already on the 10th floor.
"Sakura-chan, you're room is 401, right?"' Hinata asked, looking at a piece of paper.
"Yeah, why?" I questioned.
"Looks like I'm your neighbor then." she replied with a bright smile plastered on her face.
Relief washed over me.
"Hey, Hinata. Do you know who my my roommate is?"
I wanted Hinata to be my roommate in the first place. Seeing as that won't happen, I just hope that my roommate was a nice person.
"Sorry, I don't," she replied with an apologetic smile etched on her face.
"It's okay. Besides, I'm going to find out who it is first enough, anyway." I replied casually.
We stopped walking once Hinata turned and faced a white door, with golden plated numbers, namely 401on it.
"We're here, Sakura-chan. Welcome to your new room for the next school year."
Luckily, the door was opened. I forgot to stop by the main office and got my room key from there.
Pink walls, 2 big beds (they look really comfy I'm sure I will sleep like a princess), 2 desks, one big mirror, 2 closets and thankfully a bathroom. There were two suitcases on one bed I guess my roommate is here.
"So you are my new roommate" said I voice in the door, "I was wondering if you were ever going to come"
I turned around and see a girl with long blonde hair in a ponytail and beautiful blue eyes, she was really pretty.
"H-hi! I'm Haruno Sakura nice to meet you" I didn't know the reason to why I was stuttering . I extended my hand in order to show the signs of politeness to a fellow student which she gladly took, and shook it as a sign of respect as well.
"Welcome, Sakura! I'm Yamanaka Ino." She then turned to look at Hinata. "Hey, Hinata! What are you doing here?"
"I was helping Sakura-chan find her room, b-but, Ino. What are you doing here? I thought that your room was on the second floor?"
"Karin-bitch." She spat, malice lacing every word in every sentence.
"W-What?" Hinata asked, worried and somewhat anxious to know the answer as well.
"The same as always, that annoying bitch thinks she is the most beautiful and rich girl in school and always talking about Sasuke-kun and that he belongs to her and threading me to stay away from him, I don't talk to him since we were on kinder garden. I swear she is way dumber than Naruto, Sasuke-kun doesn't even talk to her"
I was wondering who were this people they were talking about, a bitch named Karin, maybe I should not get near her, I don't want trouble after all, a dumb Naruto person and a guy named Sasuke.
"Sasuke-san hardly shows affection to someone" so this Sasuke was a coldhearted person
"yeah he is always glaring and grunting and the only word he utters is a 'hn' if you call that a word"
"Why would someone follow this bastard? Is she blind or something?" I asked the girls in front of me.
"Well, something like that. Although, Sasuke-kun sure is, I have to admit, a gorgeous guy in the whole school. He has a lot of fangirls. But there is one problem." Ino stated.
"What problem?" I asked.
"He never dates anyone and he is really cold to everyone…well…almost." Hinata interjected.
"Why almost?" I asked.
"He's just nice to his friends…well kind of."
"Kind of? What do you mean?" I asked Hinata once again.
"It's hard to explain how Sasuke works. When you see him, you will realize what we're talking about." Ino said calmly.
"I was not expecting that kind of answer, but I guess I have to leave it like that. Anyways, sooner or later I was bound to find out the truth.
