Konoha Academy
for Gifted Boys...
Plus Girl
Chapter One
Fooling a School of
Boys Should Be Easy, Right?
My tou-san always hated teary goodbyes. Thats why he decided to let my kaa-san drive me to my new school. My parents wanted the best for me, supposedly, so they are putting me in a boarding school. Oh, did I mention that this school was all boys? Yeah, I have to 'pretend' to be a boy! The school, Konoha Academy for the Gifted, is known for two things. Academics and sports. The academic part is fine, its the sport part that has me worried...
Due to the sport part, most of the guy population there are going to be freakin' ripped! How am I not supposed to tackle one of them? I am soo done for. I might be a geek and all, but all girls have hormones.
A week before school was to start, Tou-san took me shopping for boy clothes. He obviously wanted a boy, and he wanted the last chance to have fun with it. Since I was flat-chested, I didn't have to worry to much, but what was I going to do with my career? Oh, by the way, I'm an entertainer. Before you start thinking I'm a prostitute, I'm actually a singer.
We decided that we would dye my hair, besides what guy has pink hair? I bought the colors purple, green, red, black, white, orange, blue, and brown. My parents had never let me dye my hair before saying they wanted me to be natural. This would earn them a rolling of the eyes. So, I was going to have fun dying my hair into as many different shades as possible!
I sat in the passenger of my Kaa-san's blue Bugatti Veyron 16.4 - which brings me to say that my parents are freakin' rich - listening to Kaa-san reminisce about how everything was when I was five. I'm fourteen now, which I would of never pulled off my career if I hadn't looked like I was older and wore really padded bras. I wore a pair of sneakers (Duh.), baggy pants from Aeropostale, and a Linkin' Park t-shirt. I had met the members of Linkin' Park when I went to their concert, which they sent backstage passes for.
"Honey, are you going to be okay?" Kaa-san asked me.
"Hai, hai," I said with a dismissive wave of my hand. This should be easy, right? I ran a hand through my violet short hair. I had decided to have it cut in the back like a boy's, but had small bangs that framed my face. I thought that would look boyish enough, I still need to pass for a girl in case I have to go on stage anytime soon. I had brought my electric guitar (Which I can play, thank you very much.) to stay practiced. It was a dark blue that usually went with my outfit. My outfit designer thought that anything that clashed with my hair would look great on me. One word: idiot.
"I was hoping to talk to you longer, but we're here," Kaa-san said with a sad smile.
I lifted my emerald cell phone,"Don't worry, I'll call you when I can."
She nodded,"I know, but..."
"Well, I have to go, Kaa-san. You know, pretend to be a boy and all," I was out of the car with my luggage,"Ja ne!" I had my backpack, which was full with my laptop, my latest Cd's, a few DVD's that could be played on my laptop, my MP3 player, and hygiene stuff, on one arm while I had my guitar case strapped to by back. I then had a large suitcase with rollers.
I headed out to the office, noticing everyone staring at me and the car leaving. Half of the student population had to be rich in order to get here, so why was everyone staring like they have never seen an expensive car?
Walking through the double doors of the main office, there was a woman with short black hair and a pink pig behind a counter looking desk. I walked up to her and waited till she was off the phone.
"Yes... We will need a DJ or perhaps a band... I was thinking Linkin' Park. Several students enjoy that band... Ah, thank you for your help. So can we book them for August Twenty-fourth? ...Domo arigato," she said as she spoke into the phone. She placed the phone down and glanced up at me.
"Can I help you?" she asked kindly.
"Hai. I'm the new student, Haruno Saku. I was wondering if I could get a schedule and my dorm number?" I asked with a slightly lower voice than my regular tone.
"Sou ka," she gave me one sheet of paper with a smile,"Your dorm number is thirty-two and it's on the second floor. You will be sharing with Hyuuga Neji." I nodded and turned. Just before I completely exited the room I muttered,
"Arigato, Shizune-san."
I had been a little uneasy when seeing her. I recognized her as the assistant of my voice teacher, Tsunade. I had known that she would be here and it took everything I had to say '-san' instead of '-nee-chan'. Tsunade had been my teacher from when I was eight to thirteen. I had known Shizune through Tsunade, and never understood why Tsunade and Shizune had to move away. I finally found out that she had come to take the title of Headmistress after her grandfather passed away.
I slipped out my MP3 player while I walked into the dorm building, listening to How Far We've Come by Matchbox Twenty.
I'm
waking up at the start of the end of the world,
but its feeling
just like every other morning before,
Now I wonder what my life
is going to mean if it's gone,
I was dragging my suitcase up the stairs now, since I didn't notice the elevator.
The
cars are moving like a half a mile an hour if that,
and started
staring at the passengers who're waving goodbye
can you tell me
what was ever really special about me all this time?
I passed the dorms twenty-eight, twenty-seven, twenty-eight, and so on. At the end of the hall was my room, er, mine and my roommate's room. Wait... SHIT! I HAVE TO SHARE WITH A GUY!! AND THERE'S A SEVENTY-FIVE PERENCT CHANCE THAT HE WILL BE HOT!! Oh, Kami-sama, have mercy! Please, oh please, let me be able to with stand not glumping him!!
I can help you there... my inner said helpfully. You will!?
Nope, I enjoy your suffering! BWAHAHA! Your PURE evil!
But
I believe the world is burning to the ground
oh well I guess we're
gonna find out
let's see how far we've come
let's see how far
we've come
Well I, believe, it all, is coming to an end
oh
well, I guess, we're gonna pretend,
let's see how far we've
come
let's see how far we've come
My hand rested on the door knob, thinking how I would do this. I placed a impassive look on my face and turned the knob slowly.
I
think it turned ten o'clock but I don't really know
then I can't
remember caring for an hour or so
started crying and I couldn't
stop myself
I started running but there's no where to run to
I
sat down on the street, took a look at myself
said where you going
man you know the world is headed for hell
say all goodbyes if
you've got someone you can say goodbye toI
turned off my MP3 and placed it in my pocket. I then pushed the door
open revealing a large room with two twin sized beds on either side
of the room. There was two desks for each occupant and one side of
the room had a few things like clothes - which where neatly folded -
lying on the person's - Hyuuga Neji's - bed. Sitting the a desk next
to his bed and turned to face me was Hyuuga Neji. He was a brunette,
his hair long and held in a strange style. An elastic held the hair
at his waist.
"Do you have business with me?" Hyuuga Neji asked me.
"Hello to you too, roomie," I said, my impassive mask staying in place while my insides melted. KAMI-SAMA!! PLEASE HELP ME NOT TO GLOMP THE PRETTY BOY!! SPARE THE BOY!!
I rolled in my suitcase and left it at the foot of my bed. I dumped my heavy backpack on my new bed, unstrapped my guitar, laid it down, and sat next to it.
"Hyuuga Neji," the Hyuuga introduced himself.
"Haruno Saku," I said calmly. He raised an eyebrow.
"Are you related to that singer Haruno Sakura?"
"Yeah, she's my sister. We're twins." My parents had came up with this story for me and I had practiced saying it over and over.
"Ah. My cousin is a fan," he returned to his work for the next five minutes until,
"NEJI!!" What sounded like a stampede of fans from my experience with them (Which this sound caused me to jump and grab my pocket knife from my pocket.) turned out to be an overenthusiastic blonde. Neji raised an eyebrow at me. The blonde was pounding on the door and several others were yelling at him to shut up.
"Heh, well when your with my sister, the fans run after us and they sound like that..." I sighed and put my knife back into my pocket. He nodded with a smirk, got up from his desk and crossed the room to the door, letting in a handful of boys. Kami-sama, you've helped me so far, please continue to help me, I beg of you!
The blonde one with blue eyes seemed to examine me as he ran to my side. My right eye twitched.
Twitch.
Twitch.
Twitchy-twitch.
"Are you done?" I glared at the boy then whacked him on the head. "Baka..."
"Ow!!" By the look on the boy with a pineapple shaped head's face, a light bulb had gone off in his head.
"This is so troublesome... Neji we have a meeting and all new kids have to come too," he said as he eyed me. He doesn't know, right? That look he was giving me really freaked me out...
"Saku, this is Shikamaru, Sasuke, Chouji, Shino, Kiba, and the one on the floor writhing in pain like a complete idiot is Naruto," Neji stated to help me out some. "Guys, this is Haruno Saku and before you ask, he is the twin brother of Haruno Sakura."
Naruto, recovering from his injury, was gaping at me. "Omigosh! Can you get me her autograph!?" Naruto yelled.
"No," I death panned.
"Aww! Why not?!" he whined.
"Because," I'm afraid they'll only be my friend because who I'm supposedly the brother of a Pop singer,"I don't feel like asking her."
"ARF!!" I looked over to the boy I knew to be Kiba.
"What was that?" I asked.
"Um... Nothing!" he said with a smile that totally said 'I-just-got-caught-so-I'll-delay-the-inevitable'.
"You brought your dog, again?" Shikamaru asked with a lazy voice.
"Akamaru didn't want to stay home! It's not my fault the dang dog wanted to come!" Kiba yelled.
"Didn't you guys say something about a meeting?" I supplied helpfully.
"Oh, yeah! LETS GO!!" Naruto yelled.
I signed and followed the others out of the room.
