"Me not working hard?

Yeah, right, picture that with a Kodak

Or better yet, go to Times Square

And take a picture of me with a Kodak

~Give Me Everything- Pitbull~

Chapter 1

Looks meant everything to me…

I was the handsomest man at my school…

Number one…

Sexiest man at Konoha Academy…

That was how it all began…

"Can you like me just because I'm amazing?"

A long pause filled the air.

"HELL YEAH! HELL YEAH YOU CAN!" I shouted with confidence. The crowd chanted my name.

"SASUKE! SASUKE! SASUKE! SASUKE!"

"BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE GET IT ALL!" My friends crowded around me. I felt like I was on top of the world.

I saw this girl—ugly as hell—looking at me in disgust. What the hell was her problem? She left the auditorium with a marker in her hand. I followed her and saw her drawing on my posters.

'Don't follow this suck.'

"What are you doing?" I yelled.

"The election's over," said the girl. "You shouldn't care anymore."

"Who are you?"

"My name is Karin."

'Okay, so her name is Karin. Well, Karin is going to regret putting a beard and mustache on my face,' I thought. I knew what to do.

"Well—Karin—I'm throwing a party tonight, and I have two special passes. One of which is for you."

"What's the catch?"

"No catch."

"You know what they say about me."

"Those are just rumors."

"They're true, you know."

"I don't think so."

"'Don't hang around the witch.'"

"Oooo! I'm so scared," I said sarcastically.

"Fine. I'll go."

"See you there." 'Creeper'

I won the election. 'I'm now president of the Green Committee. I, Sasuke Uchiha, am the president of the Green Committee! I'm still number one!' I celebrated to myself.

"How'd school go?" asked Itachi, my brother.

"I won the election, man!"

"AWW YEAH!" shouted Itachi. "THAT'S MY BROTHER! Dude! You should go celebrate!"

"Way ahead of you. I'm throwing a party tonight at that teen club by my school."

Itachi just laughed, patted my back and walked away. Hinata, our cleaning lady and scholar at my school, was washing the dishes.

"Hey, Hinata," I called out.

"Yes?" asked Hinata.

"Can you get me a rose?"

"Any particular color?"

"I don't care. Just get me one that looks nice." She nodded and left. I started to get ready for the party.

I wore a black dress shirt, black pants and—well pretty much everything I chose to wear was all black. It looked pretty cool though.

After thirty minutes, Hinata showed up with a box. "I got your rose." I looked at the box and gave her a disgusted look.

"A white rose…What is this shit?"

"You said that any was fine."

"Yeah! Any rose that looked nice!"

"I think it looks nice."

"IT LOOKS CHEAP! JUST LIKE YOU!"

Hinata looked at me in shock.

"It means, 'I am worthy of you'."

She put the rose on my desk and ran away. I watched her flee with disgust. 'She can be so stupid!' I thought. I grabbed the rose and went to the party.

"YOU CHEAPSKATE!" shouted Ino, my girlfriend. "A WHITE ROSE?"

"It means 'I'm worthy of you'."

"Whatever," said Ino. "Don't talk to me tonight." She walked off, and another girl came in.

"Ouch," said the girl. "That must suck balls."

"It does," I told her. "And you are?"

"I'm Sakura Haruno, the new treasurer."

"How come you didn't run for president?" I asked.

"Because I am not worthy of being your competition," she said, sarcastically. She laughed. "I don't like being in the spotlight." She looked at my rose.

"A white rose?"

"Okay I get it. It's cheap. My girlfriend just stormed off because of it." She smiled.

"I was gonna say 'I like it'." I looked at her for a second. I looked at her and smiled.

"Here. You can have it." I placed the rose on her dress. We stared at each other for a moment. "Um… Do you want something to—"

"I'm worthy of you." She blinked and realized what she said. "That's what the white rose means, right?" She looked to her left. "Do you want to take a picture with me?" I looked at her, confused. She pointed at a photographer. "For the yearbook."

"Oh… Yeah, sure." I put my arm around Sakura and smiled. The camera flashed about…five times? I don't remember, but I remember the look on her face. She had a beautiful smile 'for a scholar,' I thought. She thanked the photographer.

"I think one of your buddies is waiting for you," she said, pointing to Kiba.

"Oh…Yeah. Nice meeting you." I walked towards Kiba, who had an arched brow.

"What's with the girl?" asked Kiba.

"Chill out," I told him. "She's apart of the committee."

"And the picture?"

"Yearbook."

"Okay," he said, finally getting it. "By the way, 'Creeper Chick' crashed the party." I looked by the doorway and there was Karin. 'I can't believe she fell for that,' I thought. I started walking towards her.

"You actually believed me?" I asked her. She just stood there with a straight face. "You actually thought I would invite you here?"

"You said I'd get an exclusive pass," said Karin.

"It was a lie. You need a ticket to get in. Right, Asuma?"

"Yup. You need a ticket, young lady," said Asuma. Karin looked at him and then back at me.

"I tried giving you a second chance, Sasuke," said Karin. "But you leave me no choice." She gave me one last glare and left the club.

Later that night, I was dancing with Ino. She kept talking, but I didn't hear what she was saying. I felt so dizzy. Everywhere I looked, I saw Karin's face.

"Sasuke," said Ino, worriedly. "Are you okay?"

"I'm sorry, Ino. I have to go." I tried to make my way to the door. Everyone I saw had Karin's face. I was going nuts! I dragged myself home and got on the balcony. I was about to lose my balance. Since we live in a condo pretty high up, I was scared to death. Then suddenly, sheappeared.

"What's the matter, Sasuke?" asked Karin.

"What's going on?" I asked. She didn't answer for what felt like a few minutes. "TELL ME!"

"I tried to give you a second chance, Sasuke," she told me. "You blew it." She came close to me and grabbed my left wrist. "Now, you have a year to find someone to love you. Either the words 'I love you' will release the curse—

She came close to my ear and whispered, "Or stay like this—forever."

"Stay like what?" I asked.

"Look for yourself," she told me, gesturing towards the window. I saw myself covered in marks and scars. My hair—gone. My face—ruined. On my wrist was a tree. It looked animated.

"What is this?" I asked.

"You have until next year—when the white roses bloom again—to fulfill this task. That animated tree is like your timer. When that last rose blooms next year, time's up." Karin disappeared.

"You have a year to find someone to love you… Or stay like this—forever."

"When that last rose blooms next year, time's up."

"The words 'I love you' will release the curse."

I sighed. 'Who would love me like this?' I thought. 'No one, that's who.'
