Hello there! Yet another story! XD I was watching the music video for Linking Park's song 'Numb' and I got the idea for this. The chapters will be short and there won't be many of them, but I hope you like it never the less :)
Sakura Haruno was a normal teenage-girl attending high-school. Well, normal, except her outrageous pink hair and abnormally large forehead. Some people might call her a nerd, freak or geek, because she always got high grades in everything. But she had to; because she wanted to be a doctor like her father had been. Tough at the same time, she really wanted to be an artist. And she could easily be, because she definitely had the talent; a gift, some might say. Her father had thought it was cool that she was so good at drawing, and had always said he loved everything she made. And she was happy whenever he praised her work. The only problem was that he seemed to be the only one thinking so – everybody else thought she was crazy. At least that's what they said to her. Her father said that they were just jealous, and she had believed him back then. Now, on the other hand, she wasn't so sure. Because, earnestly, her drawings weren't really that good, were they?
"Miss Haruno!" Sakura couldn't help the small gasp that left her mouth as her teacher slammed his pointer against her desk, the noise and his angry voice interrupting her thoughts. "How about you start paying attention to my class, instead of wasting our time on those… doodles of yours?"
"Yes, Sir. I'm sorry, Sir." Sakura muttered out, ashamed, as she looked down at her drawing. She was all too aware of the whispers and laughs around her.
"Silence!" the teacher barked, but Sakura knew it wasn't for her sake. He just wanted people to be quiet while he continued his lesson.

After another half hour of trying to concentrate on the words at the blackboard and those coming out from the teachers mouth, Sakura was relieved to hear the bell ring loudly, rudely interrupting the teacher midsentence. Nobody really cared, though, and hurriedly stood up and gathered their things before rushing out of the auditorium. Sakura knew better than to try leave with them, so she patiently waited for all of them to be gone before she slowly stood up and began to leave.

It was a nice day. The sun was out, and it was almost as if it was summer once again. And of course all the students were taking advantage of it and eating their lunch outside. Sakura stood in the door with the food-tray in her hands, quickly scanning the tables to find an empty seat somewhere. When she finally found one, she started to make her way towards it. As she reached it she smiled politely to the others already occupying the rest of the table, before she sat down at the end of it. The second she had set her tray down, however, the other girls rose almost synchronic and left the table without a word. As usual... This time was different, though. This time, they'd left something behind. A flyer.
Please tell me what you think :)
