YOU IS ALL THAT MATTERS!!!
CHAPTER 1: HOPEFULL KNEW FRIENDS.
I knew things would happen like this, but I still turned and walked away. I even tried to smile to smile maybe once or twice walking down the street, headed home from school. It had been a long day, a really long day. Even though everyday is just about the same as everyday. Getting up the morning, getting dressed, going to school, having no one to talk too, because I have no friends, so I get picked on everyday. My mom said that I would probably have more friends if id take my jacket off once in while. I mean, I wear the popular cloths that the other kids wear, I just don't show them off. I ALWAYS have my jacket on.
People sometimes call me a nerd, but I prefer a loner, because I get along with no one, because every time someone is talking to me, its only because they are picking on me, or mocking me. No one likes me, but I don't pay any attention to it. I like to go by the name ne ne, but my real name is Naomi. A pretty name like that isn't meant for a girl like me, at least that's what the kids at school tell me, even though my mother tells me different. Usually, I take her advice, and ignore the mean and cruel remarks the other kids make towards me, and stay myself, but today they said some new things, that really shouldn't have been said.
If anyone ever said that people could be so cruel, or let me know sooner, like a couple years before, then I would have been home schooled and I wouldn't have to worry about this, but you know, there is nothing that I can do. I stepped in the front door of the house, and walked into the living room. Dropping my things on the floor and plopping down on the couch. Immediately cutting the TV on. "Dear, don't forget that the new next door neighbors are coming over for dinner!" Mother yelled from the kitchen. I sighed. "Yes ma'am." Apparently, some knew neighbors moved in the other door, and mom invited them over dinner, repeating over and over again, that its always a good thing to be close to the neighbors, because you never know when they will be a really close help, when something goes wrong or something.
Mother walked into the living room, and stared down at me. "I am sorry dear, but I would really like it if you wore a dress tonight, and no wearing a jacket to cover yourself. You need to make some ear at her like she was crazy. Then, next thing I knew I was holding back tears and angry. "Mom, you already know that no one here likes me. What makes you think that the knew neighbors are going to like me? When they hear the lies that are going around about me, they will despise me like everyone else does. But sure I will wear a dress anyways and try, just because you want me too. " I said, then walked out of the living room and into the kitchen.
I knew my mother wanted me to at least try, so I guess I will then. I pulled out the dress she bought me a year ago, when I had went on my first date. Man, had that turned out bad. Come to find out, the guy was going to use me to steal my innocence, even though he never did because I never let him. That's where the rumors stared. People started calling me bad names, like a hoe, whore and slut. I ignored them though because I knew they weren't true. Things got worse though. And that's why I have no friends now. I pulled on the dress after straitening my hair, and did my make up. Nervous? Ha. More like paranoid. When I heard the door bell ring, that's the first thing I started to do, was freak out.
I heard the front door open and then close. Then, their was voices, and it sounded like mainly men, and my mother. "Naomi dear, would be so kind to come down here, and meet the neighbors, oh! And get ready for dinner, its done." I heard my mom call up to me. I was scared. I walked slowly into the living room, and instead of looking at the new people, I looked straight at my mother to see her reaction on how I was dressed. Well, technically I was dressed the way she wanted me too. I heard her gasp, and then watched as her eyes went big, and her mouth dropped. "Oh honey! I haven't seen you wear that dress since last year. What made you wear it?" She asked me lovingly. I sighed and rolled my eyes. Leave it up to her to forget things.
I really didn't want to talk a bout it though. I was ember rest. So I rolled my eyes. "You're the one who wanted me to dress up, remember?" I said sharply. She smiled then hugged me. Turning toward the neighbors. "Ok, lets go eat dinner." She said, leaving me behind with them, walking into the kitchen. I stared at them all. But their was one I mainly stared at, the guy with the long blonde hair and the blue eyes. He stared back also. Then, our eyes locked. WOW! Last time I felt like this was last year, when I was on that date, I was feeling the same just staring at this guy. He was gorgeous.
I couldn't find my self to look away from his eyes. They were so intimidating. I just couldn't handle it. But finally, my mothers voice broke the awkward feeling. "Baby doll, are you coming to eat?" I looked away from as fast as I could. But he didn't. he was still staring at me." Yes mother, I'm coming." I stated. I walked into the kitchen and took a seat next to the tall blue dude. After everyone was in here and sitting down, dinner was served. My mother stared conversation, and surprising started with me for a change. " how was school today, dear?" My mother asked me calmly. The fork was half way to my mouth when my hand stopped moving, and started to shake. I could feel the tears coming, but I held them back. I set my fork down, and forced myself to look up at my mother.
She stared back. " you know mother, I think I lost my appetite." I said coldly. I started to stand up, but my mothers eyes caught my attention. She was worried. that's why she asked. I sat back down, and started to push my food around with the fork. "Its gotten worse hasn't it?" She asked. I looked at her and then back at my food. I nodded my head slowly. " Well, I will go up there tomorrow and see what I can do about getting this too end!" She said to me. She was angry about it. But I knew that wasn't a good idea, it wasn't at all. "Mother don't do that, that will only make things worse." I said. She looked around the table for a minute, she had forgotten she had guests over. But right now she didn't care, she didn't want her daughter going through this, because she didn't deserve this kind of treatment.
"how?" She asked, clenching her fists together. "Because then they will think that I am nothing but a snitch, and they will think that I am scared of them, meaning things will only get worse," I said, staring down at my food again. I heard mother sigh, and I knew she was letting it go. "so, pain, what made you and your family move down here?" She asked them quietly. I didn't look up, because I knew their were a few pairs of eyes on me. I didn't want to be embarrassed again, so I didn't look at anyone besides my mother every now and then. I listened intently to peins answer. They had been getting into a lot of trouble back in their old home, so they moved here to make a fresh start, start a new life, that way they could finish school and make something of themselves., was what he said to her mother.
I sighed and continued to play with my food, even if they became my friends now, they wont when they get to school and hear the rumors, and besides they look like the type that will fit in with the preps at the school anyway, they wont like me. I sat there, holding my tears in, looking down at my plate that way no one wont notice. I stood up and left the room the dining room quietly, and to my surprise my mother didn't try to stop me. She probably understood that I wanted to be alone for a little while. "Um, guys, can I ask a favor of you? A very important favor?" She said to them quietly. They glanced around the room at each for a moment. Then looked back at her curiously. "sure, what is it?" Pein asked her. She looked at her food and then looked back up at them. "My daughter, has exactly no friends in her school, because of these…rumors…that are going around about her…but they are not true, I swear to you that they are not" She babbled on. "Yea, ok, what is it you want us to do?" Konan, peins girlfriend asked calmly.
She stared at the group in front of her. "Well, I was wondering if you could ignore the rumors, and maybe be her friend? Be there for her? Make her happy again?" She asked. She was desperate. No one missed that as she begged them to be her daughters friends. Pein sighed. He knew this would be the start of their new beginning. "Yes, and I promise we will not believe anything in that school that go around about her." He said to Mrs. Haruno. She smiled. She was glad that her little girl would finally have new friends. Maybe this would be a great change for her. Maybe things will get better and change around. Maybe her little girl can learn how to stick up for herself hanging around these people.
NAOMI'S ROOM:
She wished she could be like her sister, sakura, popular and beautiful. I mean I used to be that way, until what happened last year. But, I am not going back onto that subject. I heard my mom and the neighbors bid farewell to each other, then heard the door close. I sighed and turned over in bed, looking out the window, trying to go to sleep, trying to clear her mind that way she can sleep. But then her room door opened and her mom switched the light on. "Honey, guess what?" My mother practically bounced in my room. I sighed then turned my head towards her, while my body stayed the way it was. "Yes mother?" I asked her quietly, ready to go to sleep the moment she leaves my room. "Dear, they said they want to be your friend, that you are a sweet girl!" My mom practically screamed. I faked a smile at her that way she would think that I am happy, and deep down inside I knew that I wasn't, because I knew, and only I knew, that as soon as they hear the rumors, they wont want anything to do with me.
She was bouncing up and down in my doorway, clapping her hands. I knew this would make her happy, so I kept on smiling and acting like what she said would last longer, when I knew they wouldn't on the first school day of theirs. "Well, that's good, but I am trying to go to sleep, got school tomorrow." I said, faking the happiness that she wanted me to feel. My mother squealed, then cut my light out that way I could go to sleep. As soon as the door shut, I felt tears rolling down my face, landing on my pillow. I wasn't happy at all like my mom was. She knows nothing about what's going on at school, because she always to busy asking sakura how her day was, and she was always talking to sakura. The only time she talked to me, was when she felt bad for me. I cried harder. I knew my mother put on a façade, to trick me into believing that she cared, but I knew better, I knew she didn't, I could see right through the façade. After awhile I finally fell asleep, drying tears stained on my cheeks.
I followed him into his car. I had went to a party with sasuke and a couple of friends. Sasuke and I had been a couple then. We had been really close, or so he says anyway. "Hey babe, you want to have a drink wit me?" He asked in a husky voice, as his arms stayed around my waste. I giggled at what he had said to me, and the way he said it. I was in love with him at the time too. "Yes, I do baby!" I said to him sweetly. I had always been the sweet one, trying anything anyone asked me to try, that's what had made me popular at the time. We had brought a couple cases of drinks in his car, and when we got to the party, and he left a few in his car to drink later. I had already drank mine. I only had one, so I wasn't drunk. If something was to happen I could stop it. But as usual, sasuke was drunker then a sailor would be.
We had stayed at him car the hole time through the party, and after the party we stayed there. Next thing I knew he was picking me up, making me wrap my legs around his waste, while kissing me in the lips passionate, of course I kissed back, but I had kept getting a bad feeling about it, like something was going to happen next that should happen. He laid me down in his backseat, crawling on to pg me, kissing on my neck and lips. After a few minutes, I noticed my shirt was off, and he was working on my pants, I immediately screamed and started squirming trying to get out from under me, but then her held me down and put a hand over my mouth, while the other hand took my pants and underwear off. I tried to get away, but then he smacked me, and kissed me before I could scream again. Then he entered me, and started beating me at the same time, I screamed, I screamed to the top of my lungs.
I sat straight up in my bed, screaming to the top of my lungs like I had did in my dream, and then started crying. My mother ran in the room and switched the light on, and running over to me. "Sweetheart, what's wrong?" I didn't answer her. I just sat there gasping for air trying to breathe again. I didn't want to talk about it, and more importantly I didn't want her or no one else in here. Sakura walked in and stood in the door way, staring at me, well glaring actually. "Mother, she is just looking for attention. She is being a baby! And she knows that!" Sakura said coldly. I started crying harder when she said. Making my mom stand up in anger. "You know, sakura I think that you are right." And with that, mother and sakura walked out cutting my light off and shutting my door.
I laid my head down, and went back to sleep, trying to ignore the hatred in sakura and mothers voice when they had said those things to me. Finally I went back to sleep.
THE NEXT DAY AT SCHOOL:
I walked to my locker quietly, ignoring everyone that walked by me and grunted things about me. I tried everyday to pay them any attention, just to go about my business. I opened my locker, only to have it slammed shut by the one person I didn't want to see right now. Sasuke,. I glanced at him and he smirked. I tried to walk the other way. But he only grabbed me by the waste and pinned me beneath him against the lockers. I squirmed and moved to put my hands against his chest to get him to go away. But he grabbed my hands and pinned them above my head, then started kissing on my neck. I tried to get away, but he slapped me, in a way no one can see. "try to get away again, and I will come by your house tonight and slit your throat bitch!" He stated coldly. I was scared. So I stopped trying. I closed my eyes and waited for his mouth to attack my neck, but it never happened, I opened my eyes, to see that someone had pulled him away.
I looked closely at my savior, and noticed that it was one of my neighbors, and behind her was the rest of the gang. I sighed. Thank god they had come in time. "The next time you decide to put your hands on her, or threaten us, you will have to deal with us!" She said coldly then dropped him, He ran. I tried to wipe away the tears that had started falling when sasuke had threatened her. But I couldn't. Konan walked over to me, and put one arm around my neck and the other wiped the tears away with her finger tips. "Don't worry, you can be one of us now, and we wont let nothing happen to you, I promise." She said to me, kissing my forehead like she a mother. I tried to smile, but only ended up crying harder into her arms. Konan looked at pein, for a second, before slowly walking her and Naomi to class. Luckily, they have every class together.
They walked into class and everyone was quiet, as they watched one of the new kids walk with sakura up to the teacher. "Karunei-sensei, I ask that my seat can be assigned by Naomi?" She asked quietly. The teacher looked up in shock. "Nandi? The girl has friends? The teacher asked shocked.( sorry bout spelling, I am not very good yet.). Konan growled. "Just because she don't hand out with the prep and popular kids DOES NOT mean that she don't have friends!" Konan practically yelled. The kids in class started to laugh like crazy. I looked down to the floor, my bangs covering my eyes, feeling the unshed tears where coming soon. A random kid stood and started talking for the teacher. "Ha ha, sluts don't have friends, we are not friends with people who sleep with everyone!" He yelled then sat down, the other kids laughed. Konan was mad, I could tell, by the way her face was starting to turn red.
Then she stood up tall, making everyone shakes with fear, and then she screamed and pein barged into the room. "Who, the hell done pissed ma girl off now dam it?" He asked coldly. Everyone froze, seeing a very hot dude standing in the door way. The girls sighed and stared dreamily at him. Only managing to make him mad. He walked over to put an arm around her waste, indicating that he was taken. "That guy over there did, he was picking on my sister Naomi." She said, almost like a little girl, it was adorable. Pein slowly walked over to the boy, who was grinning, obviously thinking that pein was going to do nothing, but those thoughts changed when pein grabbed him by the collar, and drug him over to where we are. "I want you to apologize to both the ladies…NOW!" he nearly screamed at the idiot. The kid whimpered then looked at konan. "I am very sorry for being rude, for seeing as to you who are new," He said, then frowned over at me, "Like hell I'm apologizing to the slut." Peins grip tightened on the kids neck, and he squirmed, looking for air. "Well?" Pein said, even more coldlier. The kid looked at me seriously this time. I couldn't help but to smirk, just like konan was doing. " I am sorry Naomi, for saying something to you that is not true." He said to me. Pein finally dropped him and took seat in an empty desk, we sat down in ours.
The class was quiet for a few minutes, but then the teacher started class, ignoring what had happened a minute ago. Konan sat beside me while pein sat in front of her, passing her notes, keeping us company that way we wont get bored. I looked over at konan and smiled. I had some friends now, and I see that rumors wont take these friends away from me. I was happy. it's bought time I had some friends that wont believe what everyone else has to say.
