Hey Minna-san!

Welcome to my fifth story here on Fanfiction! Ya, ya, I know that I should really work on my other stories first but this was a request from Thirrin73 because of the contest that she won. So I would like to dedicate this high school story to Thirrin-chan! This story is gonna be around 5-15 chapters, so not that long. However, it's gonna have two more stories in the same series after it. And maybe, if I get enough readers saying that they like it, I'll add a prequel and a sequel. Ah? AH? AH?!?!

Here it is! Hope you like it!

Dislaimer: I'm not gonna bother, if I did own Naruto, would I be sitting here, in pajamas, typing a made up story on FF? ...Ya, I thought so.

"Blah" Talking.

Blah Thoughts.

Blah Inner Sakura/Naruto and Gaara's Demons

(Got the 'Blah's from Dear Friend Thirrin-chan!)

[Highschool Fic] - I, Sakura Haruno, is the new-found liking of the most popular boys at my new school. And that's just a part of it. Yeah, life sucks. Sasu/Saku Neji/Saku Gaa/Saku Shika/Saku Naru/Saku Kiba/Saku Akatsuki/Saku SakuCentric


Life sucks. Just try to enjoy life when your busy trying to survive parents that fight all the time, being picked on 15/7 (At school) by slutty, beauty-obsessed fangirls, and having only 1 true friend throughout your whole life. And that's just a part of it. The other part is being totally oblivious to the fact that the hottest and most popular boys at my new school, Konoha Leaf High, has taken a liking to me.

My Fairytale

---

Chapter 1

New Student, New Geek


It was just too perfect. The silence in the air, running through my head like a lulluby, drooning me more and more asleep. It was like an endless dream, giving me the most perfect sensation and erasing all my troubles away. Almost like a fairytale. The ones that start with 'Once upon a time...' and ends with '...and they lived happily ever after'.

I've always dreamed of living in a story book like that. Finding my prince, one that will love me with all his might. A brilliant castle, with ten floors and those servants, that carries out your every bidding. And of course, the princess, me. Wearing a elegant, pink-frilled dress, with a silk topping going around my head, and the back parts of my dress, flowing behind me as I walk, it makes me feel free as the birds. But, not everyone's life is as lucky as story book characters.

---

Screams coming from downstairs woke me up. I sighed inwardly, already too used to them fighting.

My parents...I thought to myself for the millionth time. My parents were always fighting. I'm not too sure about what, but I really couldn't care less because fighting, was fighting.

My father's named, 'Haruno Daisuke'; he has red-ish brown eyes, and dark, mahogany, shaggy hair. Okay, lets just say that I'm not too fond of my father. For many reasons. One, he hates me. Two, he hates me. And three, he HATES me.

And he abuses me when my mothers not around. But two years back, my mother found out. She came back from work to find me lying on the floor, drenched in blood. And I think that's one of the reasons of their fighting. And I still wonder why she haven't divorced him yet.

My mother's name is, 'Kaita Hanaka'; She's the one who I got my unusual pink hair from. And my green eyes. But my facial features resemble my dads. I guess my mothers always been the one to support me, from being teased by the people at my school, to getting hurt by my father. So, I guess I like my mom. Most times. She has this thing, kinda like a mental disease, where she gets a mental breakdown whenever the fight between the two gets problematic. Then I have to suffer my father breaking furniture, and my mom's loud, out-of-hand sobbing. I guess I do feel bad for her. But like I said, most times.

And then there's me.

I am a mini version of my mother. Short, pink hair, up to my shoulders. It used to be long, to cover my figure, but some bullies decided to trap me in a room, with no teachers around, and cut all my hair off. Well, just most of it.

My apple green eyes is another feature of similarities between my mother and I. Except, I wear glasses. Very thick glasses to be precise. That would be a result of reading so many novels and studying even after a big test.

And according to most people, by most I mean everyone except me, my best friend, and my mom, I'm a sick whore, weird geek, and a loser. Of course, that's not true. Yeah, I'm always found, having my nose stuck in some book, but a whore I am not. I'm probably the most pure out of all the girls in out school, except my only friend. But to them, I am a whore. I guess they're just trying to make me feel worse then I already feel, and to make them feel better. Maybe that's true. Before I've always denied it, because I'd never expect people in this world to be so cruel. But after all these years of being put-down, I'm starting to think, maybe that is true.

Sakura! Come on! Stop being such a sadist!

And lastly, there's her. By 'her', I mean my Inner. I think I sort of agree with the rest on how weird I am. I don't just have a sucky life, I also have a voice in my head, which is a totally different personality from me, bossing me around, to try to do those things that I've always wanted to do. Like for instance, call my dad a bastard. Try out for the volleyball team. Wear spunky clothes. But, of course, my faith in myself is just too microscopic.

I sat up from my small bed, probably a single or even smaller, and looked around the room for the umpthest time. Broken walls. Peeled paint. Books all around. Then that's when I realized everything was blurry. I panicked for some brief moments.

Aa. My glasses. I realized, dumbly.

I half blindly reached out my hand on the wooden desk besides my bed and shuffled my hand across the surface, in search for my glasses. However, I accidentally knocked something else and stared at the blurry image of my framed picture, curtisy of my best friend, fall and shatter into the ground.

Today is going to be bad.

After I found my glasses, I slid them on carefully, not to poke my ear by the tip, and gleemed as everything became clear. Smiling a bit, I got up, but clearly forgot that I had millions of shattered glass splattered all over the ground. I winced quietly as a sharp shard ended up half in my foot. Quickly, I bent down and pulled the shard out of my bleeding foot. Not as bad as what usually happens to me.

I wrapped my foot in tissues, because I didn't have anything else close to me, and cleaned up the mess. I had almost clean up all of it, when I finally got a better look at the picture lying on the ground.

It was a picture from my childhood days, when Ino was still my friend, along with Tenten and Temari. My only best friend, Hinata was behind us, smiling her shy smile, and poking her fingers together in a cute way. Naruto's the one who took the picture. And there was me, my mouth smiling brightly, with a tongue sticking out. And my two hands both in a peace sign. I looked so happy.

I almost cried at the rememberance.

Has everything and everyone changed so much?

Without another glance, I ripped the picture to two, and stuffed it in my pocket, waiting to throw it out in the garbage can on my way out to school.

Getting up, I started limping my way towards the washroom, which was only about five steps away. Yes, we are poor. But at least it's something. I looked myself in the mirror and frowned. Why was I the ugly one? Why did all the other girls have to be beautiful? There again is the many questions I ask myself everyday. Letting a lone tear fall down, I started to do my daily routine.

Finishing up, I walked to to closet, although still having some problems with my foot, and took out my school uniform. It was probably the oldest looking school uniform in our whole school. We don't have enough money to buy a new one. Hinata at least has a wealthy family. The Hyuugas. Second to rich family in Konoha next to the Uchihas.

Changing quickly, I made my way downstairs to the screams from them.

I dodged some small furninture being thrown and picked up a fry bread from my hidden stash of food. I picked up a small, cracked cup and filled it with tap water. Gulping it down, I stuffed to bread in my mouth.

It's raining...

Rain. Thousands of droplets, pattering on the pavement roads.

I've always liked rain. It makes me feel more connected with nature. Feeling it's wet tears, drenching you, almost like it's washing away all your troubles. And I feel more...hidden. I like that.

I guess today might not be so bad, I thought, trying to be optimistic.

Of course, being optimistic never really works. Actually, it makes my luck even worse.

Proving my point, I tripped over my right foot, curtisy of the sneaker's shoelace, and collasped right into a muddy puddle. Great.

Instead of feeling sorry for yourself, get up and hurry to school!

I wanted to ignore my Inner but I quickly realized that what she said was true. I didn't want to ruin my perfect attendence award on the first day.

Whilst getting up, I heard a quiet 'hello' from behind me. Which scared me a bit.

But then I realized, it was my best friend.

"Hinata-chan." I greeted, smiling.

Hinata jogged slowly towards me and helped me up. But suddenly let go after seeing how dirty my school uniform was.

"S-Sakura-chan..." She pointed shyly at my outer-wear. "What h-happened?"

Sighing, I muttered, "Puddle..."

---

Hinata and I walked to school in silence, except for when she asked me about if I was looking forward to going to school. I answered simply by saying, 'no'. I guess I do feel guilty about ending our conversation just like that, even when Hinata gathered all her might to start a conversation. I should apologise later.

---

Arriving at the school, I looked around in disgust.

Jocks and goths, in their own little huddles, watching the cheerleaders, (whose, according to me, skirts are way to short), with a horny look.

Slutty fangirls always find some way to make any clothing, including the school uniform, look slutty.

Then their was the group of bad students, chilling out behind the school dumpster, and smoking/doing drugs. Sick. Not to forget that they were doing inappropriate actions that are against the school policy.

And of course, them.

God, how I hated them. They were the maing reason why my life was so horrible. They were the reason why their were so many fangirls in our school. They were the reason why Ino, Temari and Tenten abandoned our friendship and ditched me and Hinata.

'They', consisted of six guys. Or, man whores, in my point of view.

First up, was Uzumaki Naruto.

Okay, I know that Hinata's head-over-heels for this idiot. I really don't know why she likes him, because, guys are just taboo in our world. But as usual, no one listens to my opinion.

Actually, Naruto was one of my best pals. Hint: the key word being, was.

When Ino and the rest left us, Naruto's been the one to object. So I actually thought that he could help us fix everything. But later, Ino with the help of, Karin, they managed to convince Naruto we were bad in every possible, fricking way.

So now, he hates us. At least that's what I hoped. The less people involved with me, the better. Although I still want Naruto to see the real Hinata. I'll work on that.

Next, is Inuzuka Kiba.

Again, Kiba was one of our best friends. His friendship with us got ruined as well, by Ino and Karin. How I hated those two.

He has a pet named Akamaru, and he carries him around everywhere. In the fields, at school, in the toilet! The school profides having a pet at school!

But, he's pretty cool, I guess.

And then there's Hyuuga Neji.

He's the reason why Tenten backstabbed us. I honestly don't see what's so attractive about him, he's as cold as an ice-cube! But according to the rest of the girl population, he has the second most, biggest fanclub next to Uchiha.

He's also related to Hinata. Their cousins. I expected that cousins should treat each other fairly well, but Neji only recongnizes Hinata as a tool. Maybe even less.

And he also acts very weird around me. It's freaky.

Next up is Sabaku no Gaara.

Well, I have to admit, he's pretty attractive. But that's all I can say about him. Oh, no, scratch that. I can say something else. He's a psycho! (sp?) On some rare occasions, I come across him in the school hallways, and I catch that look on his face. Lust. Lust for what? Blood? Ugh, it freaks me out just thinking about it.

He has the third biggest fanclub at our school. Yes, I count the members at our school. There's really nothing better to do when you forget the book, 'Romeo and Juliet' at home.

Then, there's Nara Shikamaru.

And this lazy guy is why Temari left us. I had more faith in Temari then the rest but, looks like Ino managed to convince her towards the dark side too...

I don't really know much about Shikamaru, other then the fact that he's really smart, like a child genuis! But I can't seem to take that fact because of how lazy that guy is! I heard he's even smarter than me. And he doesn't even need to stick his nose in the books as often as I do. Actually, I've never seen him reading. Just sleeping.

Ugh. and finally, there's Uchiha Sasuke.

God how I hated him. Hate, hate, hate! I despise him even more than my father! He's the main reason why everything changed so much. Because of his...gorgeous features...Ino fell in love with him...along with the rest of the female population. I think he likes it! That's why he's, in my opinion, a man-whore. And then, before I knew it, Ino ditched us to try to capture Sasuke's heart. Ew.

I have to be truthful, I used to like him, but that was a long while back...

But now I hate him! I HATE UCHIHA'S!

"Ew, look! Haruno's daydreaming again."

Ino...

I sighed, clearly annoyed, and scared, and turned towards my ex-best friend. But my eyes widened urptly as I noticed that she wasn't with her usual bunch. It was just her.

"S-Sakura-c-chan w-wasn't-t d-doing anything b-b-bad..." Hinata muttered with her head down, purposly making her blue-black bangs cover her face.

Thanks Hinata-chan. But I can handle myself.

"Just back off Ino. We aren't doing anything bad."

"Gah! You little wrench!" Ino fumed the same shade as my hair, and walked towards me, holding her fist up. And I was guessing, preparing to hit me.

"Ino."

Ino gasped and covered her mouth in a girly way. Then she smiled a dazzling, seducing smirk and tilted her hips towards the left to raise her shirt up, exposing her belly.

"Why, it's Sasuke-kun!" She purred, seductivly.

I gasped hearing that name. This is a bad day.

Without looking at the Uchiha, I began walking away, towards the school, trying to think about some chemistry formulas.

Of course, that didn't really work out that well.

Hearing tiny footsteps behind me, told me that Hinata was not to far behind, following me. I paused momentarily, giving enough time for Hinata to catch up beside me.

"D-o you r-really hate h-him that much?" Hinata asked, with a hint of regret in her voice.

I turned my head to stare at her in the white, florescent eyes, "Yeah. I do."

Sasuke's POV

I was in the middle of having a conversation—well, a fight—with the dobe, when I spotted her. And she was...staring at us? I shook my head inwardly at that thought because Sakura Haruno does not have any interest in us. She's not like most girls.

But when I got a better look at the girl, I realized that she had...

Pink hair.

Yep. It was Sakura.

I momentarily smirked at her appearance. But my smirk quickly dissapeared when I saw the blond bitch approach behind her.

Hn. She's alone.

That was quite surprising. It's really rare to see Ino alone. Usually, she's with the red-haired whore and they're harassing some nerd or a girl who they think might get in their way.

The scene changed when Ino raised her arm and clenched it into a fist. Hn. That slut is always like that. I was actually amused to see what Haruno was going to do; cry or fight back. But I'm pretty sure it's the first one.

Suddenly, my legs moved on it's own...towards them.

Okay, what the hell?

"Yo! Teme!" I'm guessing that's Naruto calling.

I breathed in and out to try to act normal. I waved my hand without looking back. Then I stuffed my hands in my pocket.

Phew.

I was narrowing the space between me and them. Then I saw Ino charge up, preparing to punch.

"Ino." I called out.

Then I noticed Ino stop so fast, and turned around.

"Why, it's Sasuke-kun!" She purred. I twitched, clearly not amused.

What happened next made me almost barf. She smiled creepy, seducing smirk and tilted her fake hips towards the right to raise her slutty shirt up, exposing her flat stomach, which was the result of a month's forced diet.

Ugh.

I was about to ask if Haruno was okay, when she suddenly turned around, and quickly walking away. Then her friend, Hinata was it, looked at me angrily, and started to follow her friend.

I felt weird. Bad weird. Why did Haruno run off? Why does she hate me so much? Being completly oblivious to the answer, I 'hned' and walked back to the group, leaving a mad blond slut behind.

Today's going to be bad.


Alright. That was horrid. I HATE THIS CHAPTER!!! Especially the end! Ugh....Maybe I'll just stick to Sakura's POV
