My hand reached the silver doorknob. Behind that door were the girls, the lost souls (much like myself) I slowly turned the knob and--
"Its – its locked…" What the…? I kept trying to turn the knob and open the door but it just wouldn't.
Damn it TenTen, why did you-?!
"Sakura, what are you doing?" with my hand still on the knob, I turned to the source of the voice and saw TenTen…standing by the other room's door.
"I – just – well – argh, forget it!" my embarrassing situation is pretty much self explanatory.
I hurried over to TenTen.
"How many are there?"
TenTen took a glimpse inside and turned to me with a light smile, "Enough."
Enough? "What kind of answer is that TenTen? Seriously."
She rolled her eyes and patted my shoulder while smiling before saying, "Good luck." And going inside. I took a deep breath, just…relax. I took my first look inside the old (clean) chemistry lab.
Wow…
The Datables
This whole thing started on a beautiful October afternoon on the way to my house after a long day at school. For years, though…well, technically only some months, I've been crushing on the same guy, and he goes by the name Uchiha Sasuke. Although I've been studying with him since elementary school, and even though I've matured and my crush on him has gone from fan-girl-mode down to normal-teenage-crush-mode (big difference between the two) I've never had the courage to go up to him and actually confess.
I've never had the courage to say more than Hello and start a casual conversation (although he has a unique way to use vocabulary)
And I just never had the courage to show him who I was.
And because I am perfectly comfortable with my friends, I completely expressed myself in front of my best friend, and thus the dating club was formed. I mean, I'm not saying it was a bad thing, nuh-huh! But…did I really expect certain types of girls to join?!
"Hmm, hi…" And you call yourself a president! – pushing that thought away, I weakly smiled and waved my hand to the five girls sitting in front of me. One looked shocked and had a raised eyebrow, the other looked careless and popped her bubblegum, two smiled back, and the other was Hinata.
TenTen went to my side and leaned on my ear, "That one's--"
"I-I know who that is…" I nodded reassuringly and looked back at the girl TenTen was referring, the one that looked shocked.
Amy Watanabe, my former bully. A girl of short dark purple hair and brown eyes that used to be the Queen Bee of the school until Karin came and took her off the throne – and to be honest I'm glad she did, Karin doesn't even know I live! – even though Karin didn't even want her company, Amy said that she wasn't going to hang out with her because she isn't anyone's shadow (at least that's what Ino told me) and thus, Amy is now just another girl. Who knew she liked reading…
The careless one, that's Tayuya. She's currently eighteen years old, making her the oldest senior, (not to mention the other girl at school with dark pink hair and brown eyes) Ino told me she had to repeat first grade because she had problems learning how to read. I don't know much about her, except that she's a member of the girl's baseball team and everyone is pretty much intimidated by her. She's here either because Tsunade-sama told her to do something else for her well being, or because she actually enjoys reading.
And the two that smiled back, they are…oh…
"Who are they?"
TenTen let out a short sigh, "That's Isaribi," said girl had short dark hair held in low pigtails and dark eyes, "She's a freshman, as well as the girl sitting next to her, Taemi," – said girl had short brown hair and brown eyes – "They arrived together, so it's pretty obvious they are friends." I nodded and mouthed a thank you.
Amy snorted and crossed her arms across her chest, "Well, look who the cat dragged in…"
Oh no…
"And here I thought that our president would be TenTen, what a shame. Really Haruno, can you handle the responsibilities of a club?"
Oh hell no!
And when I opened my mouth to shut her little ugly, fat and…ugly mouth, TenTen decided to speak.
"Amy?"
Sparkly eyes and innocent look. "Yes TenTen?"
"…Shut up."
Glare.
A rolled of the eyes.
And a victorious smile from me. CHA!
"Sakura?"
I turned to the chocolate orbs.
"I think it's better if you just tell them."
And my victorious smile turned upside down as reality knocked on the door once again, and the pressure to drop the bomb met my shoulders. Again.
Chapter Three
My mouth dried up as I looked at each and every face in front of me; all of their eyes were set upon me, me. I had practiced this countless times last night, I had smacked my forehead more than five times, told myself I was stupid more than eight times, and told my mother I was fine one time. One thing is dropping the bomb to some stuffed animals, and another thing is actually dropping the bomb to human beings.
I wet my dry lips, "Well, first off, I'd like to welcome you to our first meeting--"
"Tell us what Haruno?" Amy cut off.
"I'm getting to that!" Amy looked a bit taken aback by my sudden retort; she huffed and scowled at me, waiting impatiently for what I had to say. TenTen walked pass me and to the trash can beside the door where she threw a paper, and without anyone else noticing, locked the door. I let out a sigh, Relax Sakura.
"The truth is," Hinata kindly smiled, encouraging me, "…this is not a book club," The girls (minus Hinata) looked puzzled, "This is actually a dating help club, or dating club, or whatever you want to call it," when the girls didn't say anything, I went on. "Yesterday I asked Tsunade-sama if I could start a book club, and she agreed unknown to her of the true intentions of this. So the only ones that know the truth, are TenTen, the vice-president, Hinata-chan," – they looked at the pearled eyed girl – "Ino, yours truly, and of course, now you guys. I won't ask for you to stay after hearing this, but I do ask you to keep it a secret, whether or not you decide to stay…please…" None of them said a word, some looked more shocked than others (Amy was highly shocked) but I was sure that everyone was gathering the whole information and making their decision.
I looked at TenTen, who leaning against the locked door with her arms crossed, and she had the same blank expression I had. Also waiting, also hoping.
"Hmm…" I quickly turned to the source. Isaribi had her thin armed raised.
"Y-Yes?"
"What exactly is this dating club's purpose?" I looked back at TenTen, and she smiled and nodded. Was she actually interested?
"Ugh, this is stupid," Amy stood up, "A dating club? What the hell? That's fucking stupid, come on." I glared at Amy, oh man, if looks could kill, that girl would be already buried!
"Amy, sit-down." TenTen growled. Amy did not sit.
"Oh for crying out loud," Tayuya finally spoke, "Just sit down Watanabe and shut the hell up, your voice is seriously one of the most annoying things I've ever heard." And with that, Amy reluctantly sat down. I turned back to Isaribi, her question still unanswered.
"The purpose of this club – what I would like – …" I let out a sigh, "I would just like to guide you, help everyone here find that one special guy in this school, and just…become…datable."
"So you are saying we are not datable?" Amy really wanted to get punched today, didn't she?
"No I'm not saying that! Umm, okay, how many of you are single at the moment?" everyone raised their hand (Amy seemed reluctant to, but she did) "Okay, and how many of you would like to date someone or certain boy?" everyone kept their arms up.
"Now, keep your arm high if you've made some contact with that certain boy in regards of flirting and, or, trying to catch his attention," Hinata, Isaribi, and Taemi lowered their arm, "Keep your arm high if you've succeeded and that certain boy flirted back and, or, asked you out." Tayuya sighed and lowered her arm, and Amy reluctantly lowered hers as well.
I looked at all the girls sitting in front of me closely. They all looked sad, some showed it more than others of course, but they all did, because the truth hurts…
"I'm here to help you guys, I want to help you guys. Because the truth is that I know how you feel…lost, confused, insecure. Not one day goes by where you don't ask yourself if it's because of you, or if it's because he is just not that into you," my voice started to crack a little and my vision became a little blurry.
"And you prefer to believe that it is because of you, because the thought of him not being into you as much as you are into him crushes you, and so you start searching for ways to look prettier in front of him and simply catch his eye without the necessity of talking," I cleared my throat and cleaned my eyes before any tears decided to roll down, and smiled.
"And that's why this club was made, to help you, see what the problem is, make that guy interested in you, but most importantly, make that one date possible," I felt their eyes on me once again, "…make you datable with him."
There were no glares,
No scowls
No sighs
No tears
No yelling
At that moment there wasn't an ex-queen bee in the room, nor two freshmen's, or an intimidating girl, or a shy and quiet girl. At that moment there were only five girls sitting in front of me with a similar problem and all looking for a solution. Question is, are they willing to allow me to help them?
"So…" my attention turned to Tayuya, "What book do I tell my aunt we'll be reading?"
I smiled, not an unsure and small smile, but rather a genuine and confident smile.
Members of the track team ran past the school's front door in two straight lines. Uchiha Sasuke walked out with the uniform's tie undone and hanging around his neck and looking rather irritated.
"Oi, teme!" Sasuke turned his attention to the blond standing against the Jetta, "What are you doing here? I thought you'd already left."
Sasuke let out an exasperated sigh, "…errands." Naruto looked slightly puzzled.
"Errands? What kind of errands?" he asked curiously.
"It's none of your business."
"Tch, whatever teme," Naruto stretched his arms and let out a loud yawn, "I'm waiting for Sakura-chan to come out."
"Weren't you in detention?" Sasuke asked monotonously.
"Mm, what time is it?"
Sasuke checked his wrist watch, "Three fifty seven."
Naruto shrugged, "They'll get out soon…"
"…"
Blue eyes grew tired of waiting.
"…dobe…"
"Oi, teme!" Naruto grinned from eat to ear, "Wanna take a ride in my Supper Jetta?! I mean, come on, you still haven't!"
Sasuke looked at what Naruto stood again and smirked.
"Funny, I thought that was an abandoned car."
"WHY YOU…!!"
I should call dad and tell him I'm on my way home.
I opened the door as I searched for my blue phone with my other hand. Gentle, fall breeze collided with my skin. How peaceful, how --
"Hi Sakura-chan!!"
Loud
"What are you still doing here Naruto?" AHA! Found it! – I grabbed my phone and raised my head, "S-Sasuke-kun!" Oh my God!
Undone tie, unbuttoned shirt, and the sexiest pose ever created – which in fan girl world is better known as his trademark pose, one hand inside his pocket, a little leaned back, and, occasionally, holding his school bag over his shoulder – and I get to witness it all after my fangirling days!! CHA!
"What do you say Sakura-chan?"
"Huh?"
Why is Naruto glaring at me?
"You didn't hear a word I just said, right?!"
"Err…" damn, "Sorry Naruto."
'Argh!!" Naruto passed his hands through his hair wildly before pointing an accusing finger at me, "You never pay attention to what I say!!"
"I said I was sorry!" I yelled back. I was…well kind of…
I let out an exasperated sigh.
"Tch, just tell her again dobe." I quickly looked at Sasuke. Was he - …is he (a tiny bit and sort of) helping me?
After glaring at Sasuke deeply, Naruto turned to me and grin from ear to ear. "Come on Sakura-chan! I'll give yah a ride home!" Naruto took hold of my wrist and started dragging me.
Noooooo! I don't wanna leave Sasuke-kun! Nooooo!!
"Hn, I'm going."
Naruto and I stopped and turned to Sasuke, one shocked and the other annoyed. What? – How? –
…why?
"I said Sa-ku-ra," Naruto stuck out his tongue, "Not Sasuke-teme!"
"You offered me a ride, moron," He walked past us, "So I'm accepting." …oh…how silly of me.
"We should get going Naruto," I smiled and went to the car. Naruto happily went to the drivers seat, saying how awesome his car was – which I guess is mainly to Sasuke-kun since his told me that a hundred times. I moved the radio aside and put on my seat belt. Naruto turned on the car and we made our way out.
Amy watched as the car left the school parking. She folded her arms across her chest and huffed.
"I have a plan," Tayuya looked at the girl next to her with a blank expression, wondering what she meant, "I still want Haruno to prove herself to me – I mean us."
Tayuya sighed and shook her head before turning her heel.
"Oi, Sakura-chan," I looked at Naruto, "Turn on the radio,"
"Sure," I did as Naruto said and searched through the stations for some nice music.
Baby will you be my corona and lime, and I will be your main squeeze…
"Oh! Leave it there!" Naruto eagerly said. I looked out the opened window.
What's wrong with me? It was silly of me to hope, ever for a microsecond, that he would be right here, in the same car, because of me – me. He doesn't even know me that well, just that I'm Sakura, one of Naruto's friends. And maybe…maybe that's all he'll know of me.
Now if you lookin' for love, won't you put you hands up? If you lookin' for love, won't you put your hands up?
If my hands could reach the sky…
Sasuke was smirking, "What an idiot."
"I know!" Naruto laughed, "I thought so too!" Sasuke shook his head and looked out the window. I smiled, maybe…maybe he wouldn't want to get to know me, but I would like to get to know him – I want to be closer to him.
I gasped loudly.
"I forgot to call my dad!" Oh! I hope he isn't worrying about me! – I flipped opened my phone and speed dialed my dad. It rang for about four times before the phone was picked.
"Hello, Haruno residence."
"Dad, it's me," I automatically smiled; it always felt good to hear his voice after a (very) long day.
"Oh, hi Sakura-chan!" he said cheerfully, "Where are you?"
"I'm in Naruto's car right now; he's giving me a ride home,"
Dad laughed lightly, "Boy just can't stop driving, neh?"
I chuckled, "I guess not."
"Oi Sakura-chan," I looked at Naruto, "I'm making a stop at the pharmacy, my ramen is running low."
"Oh okay," I turned to the phone, "Dad, do you need anything from the pharmacy? We're making a quick stop." Tha pharmacy came in view.
"Naaah, everything's good here."
"'Kay, I'll be home in a few."
"Alright, bye." Naruto parked the car.
"Bye, love you." I closed the phone. The car was turned off and Naruto unbuckled his seat belt, "Are yah guys comin'?" he asked.
"Nope," I said while Sasuke shook his head.
"'Kay." Naruto got out of the car and closed the door before walking in the pharmacy. I sighed and passed a hand through my hair.
"What a long day…" I said to myself. I'm so exhausted!
"Hn?"
Eep! I quickly looked at Sasuke…who was looking at me, and we were – oh my God we are alone!
Sasuke and I…
Me and Sasuke…
Alone in the car!
Oh God…what should I do? What should I say?!
Okay Sakura, calm down.
"It's, err, n-nothing. Just talking to myself," I smiled. Yeah, that doesn't sound bad. Way to go Sakura!
"Hn…" he turned around.
Oh my God I'm pathetic! I'm a failure as a teenage girl – I don't deserve to fall in love! Argh! Damn it no! Small talk, I should try small talk.
"So, umm, why were you at school after three thirty? I say you walk out," – why am I blushing so much? There's so much heat in my cheeks, calm down Sakura! – "When I was going up the stairs. Are you in a school--?"
"Errands," he said curtly, "Just doing errands."
Oh, is he annoyed? Was I – shit, was I blabbing? Oh no, I was. Argh! He probably thinks I'm the most annoying human being…after Naruto that is – well I hope!
Damn, is Naruto done? – I looked out the front window and saw Naruto putting the things on the counter.
"Mm…" What do I say? Oh! School! Yeah! "Did you understand Kakashi-sensei's explanation?" – He teaches math.
"Aah." Is that yes, no, or kind of?
"It was a little complicated at first but then I understood it perfectly! Naruto had some trouble though," said boy seemed to be arguing with the cashier.
"He's an idiot." Whoa, he was listening to my babble! – calm down!
I giggled, "That may be so, but I'd run miles for him," The blond was picking up the plastic bag, still exchanging a few words with the worker, "Naruto's one of a kind." I smiled. Naruto walked out mumbling some things and shaking his head.
"What happened?" I asked when he sat down, semi throwing the plastic bag in the back.
"That idiot said I couldn't take many ramen packs! That they'd run out of 'em!" He turned on the car.
I looked inside the bag,
"Naruto how many did you buy? Thirty?" The bag was filled with boxes.
"Psh! No! I would've but that idiot said I couldn't, so I only bought ten." That's still a lot… - Sasuke shook his head, and perhaps rolled his eyes as well.
"Right…" we were near my house, "Naruto are you going to eat dinner at my house tonight?" Out of seven days, Naruto ate at my house at least four nights. My parents and I are very used on having him around though, his like part of the family.
"Yeah, of course!" Naruto smiled.
"'Kay…" Oh…I should ask Sasuke if he would like to join – I hope he does! – it would be very impolite of me if I don't. Okay Sakura, just ask, it's not a date – (sadly)
"Mm, w-would you like to--?"
"Can't." He interrupted, still looking out the window.
"Oh…okay," I forced a smile and leaned back against the chair. Naruto stopped his Super Jetta in front of the simple two story apartment building where I live. It was a really a nice place though, a few houses on each side, near the supermarket and a few blocks away from the school.
I stepped out of the car, saying goodbye and see you later to Naruto and Sasuke-kun, and went up the stairs to the second floor and opened the third door.
"I'm home!" my mother's head popped from behind the living room's wall, she was wearing her glasses, which meant that she was working. She smiled and stood up.
"Welcome back, how was your day?" she asked and leaned against the wall. For a woman in her late thirties, mom is looking pretty good (must be because of all of that healthy food grandma made her eat) she has a darker shade of pink hair that goes down to her mid-back, but is mostly held in a low ponytail, and brown eyes.
"It was," good? Interesting? Disappointing? "…alright, where's dad?"
"He went to the supermarket."
"What? But I thought he said that everything was good." That's so like dad. Mom shrugged, probably thinking the same thing.
"You know your father…" I chuckled.
I closed my room's door and sighed. My room, to be honest, isn't the cleanest place at the moment. I normally keep it clean and fresh, but with all the school work and other responsibilities I haven't had that much time to keep it neat, but it's not like I have a big mess. Nuh-huh. My room ain't like Naruto's!
I plopped on my (very comfortable) bed and stared at the white ceiling.
It's not like I was completely disappointed by the fact that Sasuke-kun couldn't come, but…his tone. The way he said it, the fact that he didn't look at me and kept looking outside, he should've just said no instead of can't really.
I looked at the Shojo Beat manga on top of my desk and let out yet another sigh.
Why can't guys be like the guys in Shojo Beat? I reckon things will be a bit easier if they were like them. Romantic, a little protective at times, and your KNIGHT IN SHINY ARMOR!! – I squealed and quickly grabbed one of the mangas. I mean, just look at them (Shojo Beat guys)
…wow! (My eyes shone)
"And I will love you," He took her face in his hands and looked at her straight in her watery eyes, "Forever." And they kissed. "Kyaaaaa!!" That's so romantic!
…
"Sakura…"
"Sasuke-kun…" He looks so handsome
His hands touched my face, slowly reaching down to my lips.
"I'll love you…" I felt his hot breath on my lips, "Forever…" and he --
…
"Sakura-chan…?" I quickly sat up and looked at the door blushing. Damn it, doesn't she knock? – "What would you like for dinner?"
"Oh…umm…anything I guess…" I smiled, "Oh, and Naruto's coming over later."
"Alright, dinner for four it is!" she grinned and left my room, closing the door. I moaned and plumped back down, sighing once again.
Briiiiing…
W-What's that…? The sound started getting louder and louder.
Briiiing
My hand reached the snooze button and lightly smacked it. Good morning Sakura…
I stood up and sleepily walked to the bathroom. After cleaning my teeth and splashing my face with cold water, I walked back to my room and changed.
"Good morning Sakura-chan!" my dad smiled cheerfully. He was a year older than my mother but she seemed to be the laid back one, while my dad – a brown haired and green eyed thirty nine year old – was the cheerful and enthusiastic one. He spent his day writing a novel, while my mother worked as a family lawyer.
"'Morning," I sat down and took a byte off my toast.
"Naruto won't pick you up today?"
I shook my head, opening the newspaper, "He said he was going to run some quick morning errands," something about getting some things to Ichiraku, really Naruto should learn to explain better. Oh hey, the local baseball team won! – And anyways, I really would like to walk to school at least once. Ever since Naruto got the car his been picking me up, not that I'm not grateful for what he does but…I…need to lose weight…
"Well I'm off," I stood up.
"I'll do the dishes, don't worry." Dad said before I picked up the plate. I walked over to him and kissed his cheek before going to the door, putting on my shoes, and walking out.
Last night during dinner I felt the urge to ask Naruto if he knew why Sasuke-kun couldn't come, but one, I don't think my parents know or perhaps remember who he is, and two, my parents were there. I always hate when a family member – especially my aunt and grandmother – ask me about my love life in front of my parents (not because I don't have one!!) because that was putting me in a very awkward position – very. It's like a friend asking you how you sexual life is…but a priest is near by and sees you don't have a wedding ring (…as if the first part isn't awkward enough!)
My love life I something personal anyway – it's mine!
…
I'll get a boyfriend soon!
After a few more turns and stops, I finally walked through the school's main gate. Ino was standing on the entrance's stairs with the two K's, who were talking and laughing. She caught my eye and quickly smiled before returning to her posse's conversation.
Something about a party Saturday…
I walked in the uwabaki's locker room and went to mine. There were quite a few students around, though no one I completely knew. I opened the metal door and a piece of paper immediately floated down to the wooden floor.
"What the…" I bent down and picked it up.
Emergency club meeting on the roof at lunch.
-Amy.
"…hell?" Why is Amy calling for an emergency meeting? It better not be to rant about something! Jeez, that girl can seriously annoy you the minute she opens her mouth!
After leaving the locker I went inside and looked for the first club member I could find. Maybe Amy's so called emergency meeting was actually a beat up session – who knows what goes through the girl's mind?
The first girl I saw was Isaribi who was with her friend, and fellow club member, Taemi. She eagerly looked at me when I approached them, in their hands a piece of paper.
"Oh good," I sighed in relief, "You two also have it."
"Hinata-sempai and TenTen-sempai also received it," Isaribi said.
"Do you know what this is about Sakura-sempai?" Taemi, whose voice I never heard thus far, asked. I shook my head and they frowned.
"I don't know what Amy's up to, but whatever it is it better be good." The two freshmen nodded in agreement. Who the hell is Amy to call for a meeting anyway? I'm the club's president! Hmph!
The bell rang and we parted ways, knowing we'll see each other at lunch. Amy's in my group anyway, perhaps I can ask her why she called for one during homeroom…
…
"Wait till lunch."
"What? Why?" I crossed my arms across my chest, "I'm the president, I should know what you'll be talking about in your 'emergency meeting'"She's pissing me off! Why can't I know?!
"Just because you are the president Haruno, doesn't mean you've gain my trust," – Gain her trust? What does she mean? – "You'll know at lunch just like everyone else, so stop asking me to tell you!" and she glared at me and walked over to her seat.
It's not like I asked her ten times to tell me! …I only asked her four times…well no, more like demanded by the second time, but pish-posh! Asking-Demanding, same thing when you're the president!
"Fine!" I huffed when I followed her, "But you better have a good reason!"
She smirked – a little too evil in my opinion – and said, "Oh trust me, it's a good one."
"Everyone please sit down." I looked at Amy one last time before heading over to my seat. Just what is she planning?
By the time the class before lunch had ended I had come up with a few theories on why Amy had called for that meeting and why she was smirking so evilly about it. One, she was probably going to call a group of wrestlers to beat us up badly, I mean she probably still thinks I somehow said that she can't date anyone; Two, she'll probably throw us off the roof, thus killing us (for the same reason as the first theory) but I don't think she's that strong to throw six girls; And three, and so far the theory I mostly fear, she's going to be waiting for us with Tsunade-sama.
And that…that would be just great.
"It's probably nothing," TenTen said as we walked up the stairs to the roof, "I mean it's Amy, the most she can do is rant about something and get everyone annoyed." Hinata nodded in agreement, whispering a soft, "Yeah."
"I don't know guys, I'm feeling a little uneasy about these…" It's true, my heart's beating abnormally fast and I feel a little lightheaded.
"Really forehead, you don't need to worry so much," Ino said. I told her about the emergency meeting at the bathroom and she insisted, before I could ask her, to come with us and see what it was about.
"There won't be any wrestlers…" TenTen said as if she were reminding me that (and had said it for the fifteenth time that day)
I stayed silent.
"And she can't possibly throw us off the roof," she snorted probably imagining Amy trying to do that.
"…what about Tsunade-sama? Is Amy not possible of betraying us?" I looked at each girl for a second before looking at the nearing door. They both stayed silent, preferring, just like me, to not answer that question.
TenTen pushed the door opened and sun light met our eyes, a cool, gentle breeze met our skin, and a group of waiting girls (all from the club) was not so far from the entrance. And luckily, no Tsunade-sama, or wrestles around.
"Finally," Amy said, "Now everyone is here,"
"Care to explain what this is all about Amy?" TenTen demanded – like any vice president (and president!) would.
"Gladly vice president," she bowed mockingly, I glared at her, "The reason why I called you up here is quite simple," – she began walking around slowly – "As you all know Sakura formed this club to help us in the dating field, etcetera, etcetera, but yesterday I asked myself, does Sakura know anything at all about dealing with boys?" … "However, rather than proving it with words I suggest that she proves it with actions,"
"W-what…?" my voice was barely audible.
Amy looked at me straight in the eyes, "Haruno Sakura, in order to prove that you are capable of actually helping us, you must date…Uchiha Sasuke."
Oh…
Come what may…?
