The Taste Of First Love is Bittersweet
- Chapter 1 -
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto :'(
I walked down to the dining room.
The breakfast was already served.
Mother, Haruno Tsunade, was sitting opposite me with a irritated expression.
"Good morning, mother." I greeted. Mother nodded.
I took a seat and started to eat my breakfast.
"Sakura, where is your table manner!?" Mother shouted. "You don't have self-conscious of you being a daughter of this household!"
"Tsunade-sama, please, calm down." My private butler, Sai, said.
Sai is mothers favourite butler.
He is young, yet very skillful and does his work perfectly.
"Sakura-sama, the car is ready." He said calmly.
"Look, she's the rich one."
"She is cute, but..."
"I wouldn't be friends with her..."
The chatter that I hear as I walk pass them.
It's been a year since I enrolled to this school but still, the gossiping won't stop.
Teachers bow every time I walk pass them.
I'm getting sick of this...
I entered the classroom, but no one greet me. It's not like I want them to.
I sat down in my seat, at the back of the classroom near the window.
No one is sitting next to me. Who would?
"Hey, have you seen that TV show yesterday..."
The group of girls having a conversation that I never get into.
I started to do some school work till the bell rang.
The first lesson was English.
"Okay," Kakashi-sensei smiled.
"Today, we are doing a little test."
Large moan wrapped up the classroom.
"Be quiet." Kakashi-sensei gave out the test paper to each student.
"Okay, I'm gonna hand out the result now."
Everyone received their test. Talking about how many marks they got.
"Haruno-san is the only person that got 100%. Well done." Kakashi-sensei said.
Everyone glanced at me. I looked down quickly.
I'm not a kind of person that gets all the attention.
"Welcome home, Sakura-sama."
All the maids and the butlers greeted me as I entered the house.
I never get used to this kind of treatment...
"Mother, I'm home." I said as I entered my mother's room.
"Welcome home. How was the school?" She asked.
Informing about the school was a daily thing.
With this, she can improve the school and such.
"Well, we had a little test in English," Mother nodded.
"And I got 100%..." I looked at her face, wondering what she will say.
"Of course," She said. "You're a daughter of this household. You MUST be the No. 1 of everything."
"... Yes, Mother." I bowed and left the room.
I went back to my room and sighed.
There is no way that she will compliment me.
But somewhere deep inside, I was hoping that she would say "Well done."
I always try my best to impress her.
I lost my parents with an car accident when I was 13.
I was at school the time, but my teacher told me about it and when to the hospital.
They died before I got there. I couldn't believe it.
My life was happy. I had friends, my parents were kind.
But with this accident, my life got flipped up side down.
A life that I wasn't looking for.
"From today, you're name is Haruno Sakura. OKay?" Father said nicely.
I nodded. I couldn't get out from the shock that I lost my parents.
I cried everyday.
Sai was always by my side, no matter what.
"Sakura-sama," Sai called.
"Go away!" I yelled. "Don't call me that!"
I couldn't sleep at night.
Once, I got out of the room and wondered around the house.
It was so big that I could easily get lost.
I got passed Mother's room, but I stopped my foot.
I heard them talking.
"I can't believe that we have to take care of her!" I heard mother's voice.
"Calm down." Father said. "She's 13. She needs our help."
"My sister's child!? You've got to be kidding me!"
"Well, we can't hand her over to her father's side."
"I don't care! My sister betrayed us! She embarrassed my family!"
"Tsunade, that was long time ago. Plus, because of that, we have a happy life."
"She deserved it for sure. Being in the accident."
"..."
I ran back to my room. Holding my tears.
They don't want me here...
"... sama? Sakura-sama?"
I opened my eyes and saw Sai looking worried.
"Huh? I was asleep?" I looked around. "Dinner is ready." He said.
"... I'm not hungry." I replied.
"... Have you been crying...?" He looked at me closely.
"Eh...?" I felt tat my cheek was wet.
"Is there something wrong, Sakura-sama?" He asked. "N-No, I'm just tired." I answered.
"Well, whatever it is, I am here to help." He smiled. "Thank you." I smiled back.
Another day of school.
Sai opened a door.
"Have a nice day, Sakura-sama." He bowed. "Yeah, I'll try." I replied.
I entered the classroom and took a seat at the back.
It's the same everyday.
No one greet me, no one talk to me.
I glanced at outside, looking at the sky.
The bell rang.
"Settle down and take a seat." Kakashi-sensei, who is also our tutor, came in.
"Today, we have a new student who will be joining this class." He said.
"Come in."
A new student came in.
I didn't look at the new student. I wasn't interested.
All I heard was a group of girls screaming and chatter.
"Introduce yourself." I heard Kakashi-sensei.
"My name is Uchiha Sasuke. Nice to meet you all." A new student said.
"Do you have a girlfriend?" One of the girl asked.
"What type of girl do you like?"
"Oh my god, he is sooooo fit!"
"And he's smile is so cute!"
I heard few girls talking.
I don't really understand that kind of stuff...
"Uchiha-kun will take a seat next to... Haruno-san." Kakashi-senei said in a loud voice.
"Eh...?"
Before I knew, A new student was sitting next to me.
"Nice to meet you, Haruno-san." He smiled.
"Huh? Oh, er, yeah..."
As soon as the lesson ended, Uchiha-kun was surrounded by group of girls.
"Where do you live?"
"Do you have a girlfriend?"
"Why did you come to this school?"
I left the classroom as I couldn't stand how loud they were.
It seems like girls from the other class came to see him too.
Within a day, Uchiha Sasuke became the most popular guy in school.
"Haruno-san!" I turned around and saw Uchiha-kun standing there.
"... Yes?" I asked.
"Can you show me around this school?"
I haven't talked to a student in ages.
I can't remember the last time I spoke to them...
I was surprised. "W-Why me?"
"Well, I sit next to you and I want to get along with everyone." He smiled.
"Right..." I sighed.
I showed him around the class and finally came to the rooftop.
"It's a bit chilly..." Uchiha-kun shivered. "Well, the weather is not great, so..."
"Thanks for showing me around the school."
"It's fine..."
The bell rang.
"We should probably go..." I said.
"Yeah, let's go back."
"Let's eat lunch together, Sasuke-kun!"
"W-What? Actually, I..."
Before Uchiha-kun called me, I walked out the classroom and went to the rooftop.
'No one's here...'
I sat down and started to eat my lunch... alone.
"What are you doing?" I heard a boy's voice.
"Eh?" I turned around and saw Uchiha-kun, standing behind me.
"S-Sorry, was I taking your space?" I asked as I packed my stuff.
"No, It's fine! Let's eat together, ne?" He said as he sat down.
"No, I'll move. Sorry..."
"Wha... C'mon, you must be lonely being alone!"
"I... I'm always alone, so..."
"Eh? W-Wait...!"
I went back inside without turning back.
I haven't seen the anime or read the manga for a while, so the personality of the characters are messed up XP
(I mean, imagine the smiley Sasuke. World is ending here!)
Anyway, give me any advice comment to make my story even more better!
