Hey guys! Here's the second chapter. I added a lyric this time. Please review .
CHAPTER 2
The next day at school, fan girls came one at a time to Sakura and warned her not to talk to Sasuke. Sakura ignored them. 'They're not the boss of me. Besides, I have no reason to talk to him.'
At lunch, Kiba and Shino asked her why the fan girls were after Sakura. Sakura told them what had happened.
Sakura started to eat her roast pork when Karin came up to them.
"Ew! You have pig's butt on your plate!" Karin exclaimed pointing at Sakura's lunch. Sakura held up her plate under Karin's nose, "Then I guess you better smell it."
Karin smacked the plate away. The plate flew and landed on Sasuke's head. The people in the cafeteria gasped. Some snickered. Sakura bit her lip to control her laughter but failed. Sakura started laughing like a maniac. Sasuke glared at her and catapulted a spoon full of salad which landed straight in her face.
Sakura glared at him and grabbed a handful of her own salad and threw it at him but Sasuke ducked and it landed on Naruto's face. "FOOD FIGHT!" Naruto shouted. A food fight broke out in the cafeteria. It ended when the principal, Hikari, came in and ordered them to stop or else they would all get detention.
"Haruno Sakura, detention after school." Hikari said sternly. "Uchiha Sasuke, don't repeat such a thing again." She said sweetly. With saying that, she walked out of the cafeteria. Sakura grumbled something about how it wasn't her fault but Karin's and how Sasuke got off with only a warning and she ended up with detention. But when she saw Sasuke's face, she couldn't help but laugh again.
Sasuke glared at her, "What's so funny?"
"You!" Sakura said catching her breath.
"Ha. Ha. It's so funny I forgot to laugh." He said, his voice dripping with sarcasm.
Sakura went to the washroom and cleaned herself up. She snickered at the thought of Sasuke with roast pork on his head. On her way out, she met Hikari. "Make sure you don't pull another crazy stunt on Sasuke again." She said in a fake sweet tone and walked off.
Kiba and Shino were waiting for her in the hallway.
"Looks like today was a fun day for you, Saki." said Kiba.
Shino nodded in agreement, "Indeed."
Sakura grinned, "Today was crazy. I haven't laughed like that in a while, I feel alive."
"Welcome back from the afterlife." Kiba said with a cheeky grin. Sakura punched him playfully on the shoulder. The bell rang and they all headed for class.
After school was over, Sakura stayed for detention. To her surprise, Sasuke joined her. He took the seat next to her. Sakura raised an eyebrow, "What are you doing here? I thought you got off with a warning."
Sasuke smirked, "I told the principal that I wanted detention. However, I get to go home earlier than you."
Sakura rolled her eyes, "Oh joy."
They sat in silence for some time. Then, Sakura spoke, "Why do you want detention?"
Sasuke shrugged. Sakura sighed and laid her head on the table. After thirty minutes, Sasuke was allowed to go. Sasuke started to leave. He turned and gave Sakura a two-fingered salute, "See ya."
After Sasuke left, Sakura took out her books and did her homework. By the time she was done, she was also allowed to go.
When she reached the parking lot, she saw that her bike was a complete wreck. It had been burnt, one of the handles was taken out, the wheels were punctured and it was covered in dirt. A note was taped on the single handle. Sakura pulled it off and read it. 'This will teach you not to talk to Sasuke-kun again.'
Sakura groaned. Sasuke's fan girls had messed up her bike. 'That damn Uchiha owes me a bike!' she thought angrily.
'Awww . . . but he's hawt! Let's go easy on him.' Her inner whined.
'No way! That bike was a gift from dad on my twelfth birthday and it has been in great condition till now. Besides, now I don't have a ride to school.'
Sakura took her bike to the nearest trash can and left it there. After that, she decided to walk home. On the way, she saw three boys drag a girl into an alley. Sakura thought something was fishy so she followed them.
The boys tried to rip off the girl's clothes. Sakura grabbed a trash can lid and hit one of them on the head with it. He went out cold. The other two saw Sakura. Sakura glared at them, "Get away from her."
One of them snickered and came forward to grab Sakura's hair. Sakura kicked him in his soft spot and he groaned in pain and fell down. The last boy, who was holding the girl, pulled out a knife. He charged at Sakura, but she dodged and swiftly went behind him. She hit a pressure point and he fell unconscious. The boy whom Sakura had hit in his soft spot got up and dragged his unconscious friends and ran away in fear.
The girl was trembling in fear. Sakura didn't know her personally but she knew they attended the same school. She had pearly eyes and long blue hair. She was wearing lilac-colored sundress with a cream-colored jacket and kitten heels. She looked sort of familiar.
"T-thank you." She said shakily. Sakura nodded, "Be careful next time."
The girl gave a smile, "I'm Hinata. May I know your name?"
"Sakura." replied Sakura.
"Oh, you're that girl who is friends with Kiba-kun and Shino-kun right?" Hinata asked.
Sakura nodded, "You know them?"
"Yes, they're both in my homeroom. They're very nice. And Akamaru is very friendly"
Sakura smiled. 'It's good to know those two are being nice to others.' She thought.
"You look sort of familiar." said Sakura.
Hinata twiddled with her fingers, "It's because I look like my cousin, Neji." Sakura nodded. Hyuuga Neji was the class president and a so-called genius. He was also a heartthrob and had his own fair share of fan girls.
Soon it started drizzling. Hinata looked worried, "Oh dear, I have to call Neji-nii-san to pick me up. I hope he's not busy."
Sakura looked at Hinata, "You wanna come over to my house for a little while till the rain stops?"
Hinata shrugged, "Is it alright?"
Sakura nodded. "Okay." said Hinata. The two of them quickly went to Sakura's house. Hinata sat on the floor of Sakura's room and called Neji to pick her up as Sakura went to the kitchen to make some tea. After Sakura came back with two hot mugs of tea, Hinata spoke, "Sakura-chan, you're home is really nice and cozy."
Sakura blushed at the compliment, "Thanks."
"Do you live alone?" she asked.
Sakura nodded, "Yup."
"What about your parents?"
Sakura stiffened, "They died in a plane crash when I was 13."
"I'm sorry Sakura-chan." Hinata said bowing her head apologetically. Sakura shook her head, "No, it's alright. I moved into my own apartment when I started high school. Before that, I lived with my evil aunt and slutty cousin."
"You're a nice person Sakura-chan. All your friends must be very lucky to have you." said Hinata.
Sakura shrugged, "I never had any friends except for Kiba, Shino and Akamaru until today."
Hinata's eyes widened, "You mean Kiba-kun, Shino-kun and Akamaru are your only friends?"
Sakura nodded, "Everyone thinks I'm a freak. They judge me before they even know me."
"I'm your friend too. That is, if you want to be." Hinata said shyly.
"Sure," Sakura said with a smile. "It's so easy to talk to you and all since you're a girl too. No matter how close I am with Kiba and Shino, there are some things I can't talk to them about."
Hinata giggled, "I guess you have a girlfriend now."
Hinata noticed the guitar underneath Sakura's bed, "Oh Sakura-chan, do you play?" she pointed at the guitar. Sakura pulled it out from under her bed, "Yeah, I do play."
"If you don't mind, I'd love to hear you sing." Hinata said with a smile. Sakura sighed and began to play a song.
Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave
How can I love when I'm afraid
to fall
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt
suddenly goes away somehow
One step closer
I have died everyday
waiting for you
Darling' don't be afraid
I have loved you for a
Thousand years
I'll love you for a
Thousand more
Time stands still
Beauty I know she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything
Take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath,
Every hour has come to this
One step closer
I have died everyday
Waiting for you
Darling' don't be afraid
I have loved you for a
Thousand years
I'll love you for a
Thousand more
And all along I believed
I would find you
Time has brought
Your heart to me
I have loved you for a
Thousand years
I'll love you for a
Thousand more
One step closer
One step closer
I have died everyday
Waiting for you
Darling' don't be afraid,
I have loved you for a
Thousand years
I'll love you for a
Thousand more
And all along I believed
I would find you
Time has brought
Your heart to me
I have loved you for a
Thousand years
I'll love you for a
Thousand more
Hinata clapped after Sakura finished, "You have a beautiful voice Sakura-chan. Did you write this song?"
Sakura nodded, "I love to sing and write songs."
"That was wonderful," said Hinata. "Are you planning to become an artist or a songwriter?"
"That was the plan but I sort of gave up on that dream."
"But why?"
"No one appreciates me. I never got the chance."
"The school concert is coming up and Neji-nii-san told me that a famous record dealer would be coming. Maybe he'll give you a record deal."
Sakura thought about it. This was her chance to finally do what she wanted. "What if no one appreciates me?"
"If no one from the school appreciates you, the whole world will." said Hinata.
"And if I don't get the record deal?" asked Sakura.
"You can try again or you can at least live knowing you tried." Hinata said with a shrug. Sakura smiled at her innocence.
"I think I'm gonna try it out." Sakura said. Hinata smiled and hugged Sakura. Her cell phone buzzed. Hinata answered her call. It was Neji.
As Hinata started to leave she turned and faced Sakura, "Thank you Sakura-chan. I'll see you at school tomorrow. We'll talk more about the concert."
Sakura nodded and waved as she left. She closed the door and smiled to herself. She had made a friend and she was finally gonna fulfill her dreams. She didn't feel hungry so she changed and climbed into bed. 'Things are turning out to be great.' She thought as she drifted off to sleep.
Whew! done! Enjoy and please review. :D
