and like, f*ck. I forgot Sakura's birthday! I'm a bad personnn! DX
10 YEARS LATER:
Another beautiful day. The birds are chirping, the waves are clashing in the nearby coast, and the sweet aroma of vanilla filled the room.
She lay in her queen sized bed, the apple green blankets covering her petite form. Her eyes fluttered open, hearing the buzzing noise of—
BEEP-BEEP-BEEP.
—the alarm clock.
BEEP-BEEP-BEEP.
"Ugh." She groaned.
'Sakura! HELL YEAH! Wake up, sleepyhead! It's the first day of school!' her Inner exclaimed.
"Damn! I'm gonna be late!" she stood up quickly, and dashed to her bathroom, not minding the boxes she ran into.
'I'll fix those later. I really hate unpacking.' She thought, stripping off her clothes and closing the bathroom door.
Amnesia
Chapter THREE: Fifteen
[*- Feeling like there's nothing to figure out. -*]

Sakura moved to Konoha five years ago, when she was thirteen, together with her parents. Her mom became a nurse, and her dad became a businessman. When she turned sixteen, her parents went back to Suna, leaving Sakura in Konoha.
Suna doesn't have any high schools, and Sakura was lucky to be enrolled in Konoha University, the most prestigious school in Japan.
Being the teenage girl that she already is, Atsuko gave her enough money each month to cover her tuition fees, food, clothing, and any repair inside the house. Seicho, on the other hand, gave her a new silver car when she turned seventeen. Sakura never liked the color, but it did look good. Soon, when she turned eighteen, she got her driver's license and was already in legal age to drive, and to make out. EWW. Well, that's what I read in the magazine. TCH.
"Whiskey! Breakfast!"
Whiskey was her pet cat. She really wasn't a cat person, but this cat was so different. She found the cat when she went out late because it was damn hot inside the house. The cat smelled like beer, Whiskey to be exact. Its fur was naturally white with an awkward bluish hue. What attracted her most were its eyes. It was magenta, and the pink nose was such a cute feature.
While Whiskey eats her breakfast, (yes, it's a she.) Sakura went upstairs to comb out her hair. She bit her lip, and looked at herself in the full sized mirror.
She was wearing a long crimson halter top with floral prints, and her white leggings with pink stitches. She wore green sandals, and to top it off, she braided her waist length hair to give her a childish look.
"Bye Whiskey! Take care of the house!" she shouted, and went to school.
She looked at her watch: 6: 48AM
"Hm. It's good the school's just five blocks away." She shrugged, grabbing her iPhone, and plugging the earphones. She rolled her eyes at the song.
'You take a deep breath, as you walk through the doors. It's the morning of your very first day.' She eventually sang along to the tune, not minding the people giving her glances, smiles, and some even sang along. She smiled. Maybe they like her voice.
"Coz' when you're fifteen, and somebody tells you they love you— woah!" when she reached a curb, she bumped into someone accidentally. The earphones flew off of her ears.
"Watch where you're going." A cool voice said.
"S-sorry sir." She apologized, bowing down. She looked up to see the man walking away. She sighed. 'At least I said sorry.' She thought.
"Hey! You must be the new student! Welcome to Konoha University!" the boy exclaimed, shaking her hand.
"Oh..uh, yes I am. Who are you, exactly?"
"Ah! I'm Naruto! Naruto Uzumaki!" he introduced. "And you? I never got you're name."
"Oh, I'm Sakura." She smiled. He grinned back. She blushed, surprisingly. He chuckled softly.
"Dobe." Another boy grunted in greeting from behind her.
"Hey Teme! Have you met Sakura? Nah! Of course you didn't! I saw her first! Haha. She's a new student!" he said in one swift statement.
"Hn." He muttered. Her eyes widened. Naruto looked at her.
"Are you alright Sakura-chan?"
"I-I'm fine." She squeaked. She swore he heard the person behind her smirk. Naruto just rolled his eyes.
"Don't tell me you like Sasuke-teme here?"
"S-Sasuke?"
"Hn. Just turn around. Scared you might fall in love?" Sasuke asked mockingly. Oh, no he didn't.
"Listen, Sasuke." She sneered, turning around to face him. "You're still handsome, I know." she said, grabbing Sasuke's collar—making him tumble forward — as they were both in eye level, and their noses was nearly touching. She smiled, as she saw the small blush on his cheeks.
"Never been this close to a girl before? Except for me, right?" she asked innocently, battling her eyelashes.
"Hn."
"Remember me?" she asked seriously, almost melting at the way their eyes locked. She never forgot those black orbs.
"I remember you singing to the tune of Fifteen by Taylor Swift and bumping into me. But hell, why would I remember someone as annoying as you?" he smirked.
He saw a flash of hurt in her eyes, as she let go of his collar. He raised an eyebrow at her expression.
"Yeah. I know you wouldn't." she said softly. "Naruto, thank you for the warm welcome. So, if you'll excuse me, I need to go to the principal's office." She said walking away.
"Oooh. You did it this time, Teme." Naruto warned, walking to his classroom. Sasuke followed him.
"Tch. She's just another fangirl."
"Hey, don't judge a book by it's cover. She doesn't even look like a fangirl, and FYI, Teme, she was blushing when I talked to her, so hah! Not every girl likes you!"
"A blush doesn't signify affection, Dobe."
"Bah. You're just jealous."
"Hn. I have to admit though, I swear I've seen her somewhere. I just don't know where and when, exactly."
"Well you said you bumped into her."
"No. I mean, I've seen her somewhere, before this day."
"What? Like—?"
"Like childhood friends."
"But are you?"
"Absolutely not." Sasuke stated, walking in the classroom, with Naruto trailing behind.
KNOCK-KNOCK-KNOCK.
The door opened slightly.
"Who is it?" a girl with short brown hair, asked softly.
"Shizune-san?" Sakura asked, quite shocked.
"S-Sakura-chan?" Shizune asked back, with the same shocked voice.
"Tsunade-sama's here too?!" Sakura almost shouted in excitement.
"Hai. I guess you finally enrolled. Come in. Come in." Shizune smiled.
"Who is it, Shizune?" Tsunade asked. Sakura smiled at her.
"Konnichiwa."
"Sakura! You're finally here! I knew you're parents wouldn't let me down!" Tsunade grinned at her.
"I can't believe you still remember me."
"Why would I forget you? Did you know your friend is here too?"
"Y-yeah. I…bumped into him today. Literally. And he said the exact opposite you just said."
"Oh? He still doesn't remember you? Well, he has to bonk his head again." Tsunade said, laughing slightly.
"Here you go." She said, handing Sakura a piece of paper. "You'll get your books tomorrow."
And as if on cue—
KRIIIING!
—the bell rang.
"Ooh. First period," Tsunade said, leading Sakura to the door. "Don't be late. Have a nice day now!"
"Bye Shuizune-san! Tsunade-sama!"
'Hmm. I guess this is a coincidence. Room 108. Ah! Here it is!'
She opened the door to be greeted by a flash of green.
"Ohayou, youthful classmate!" a guy with freakishly large eyes exclaimed.
"Um..."
"You are a very beautiful girl of youthfulness!" he shouted out with a 'nice guy pose.' She sweatdropped.
"What is your name?"
"Sakura..."
"Sakura! Cherry Blossom! I am Rock Lee!"
"O-oh. Ahehehe. Nice to meet you." she smiled.
"You're smile is youthful!"
"Ugh. Can you drop the the Youth Philosophy, Lee? I can hear you at the rooftop. You distracted my cloud watching." a boy with a hairstyle like a pineapple said lazily. Once he laid his eyes on Sakura—
"Hey. You're a cutie. I guess you're the girl who confronted the Uchiha in the hallways." he smirked. She blushed.
"Yeah. I am that cutie." she said, smiling. "Thanks."
"No problem." he smiled back. Lee gasped loudly, catching the attention of his classmates.
"Shikamaru...SMILED!" he screamed in horror. Everyone in the room gasped. Shikamaru rolled his eyes.
"I don't get why—"
"Sakura! No one can ever make him smile! You really are youthful!" everyone sweatdropped.
"All right class. Settle down." a guy with a mask said boredly.
"YOU'RE LATE AGAIN!" every girl in the class exclaimed.
"Ah! You're the new student I guess. You're the only girl who didn't shout at me. Kindly introduce yourself." he said, smiling. Or whatever he's hiding beneath that mask.
"Oh. Um...ok," she faced her classmates. "My name is Sakura Haruno. I just turned eighteen two days ago. I'm hoping all of you can be my friends. So yeah, thank you."
"Welcome to Konoha University, Sakura. I'm Kakashi Hatake, your adviser."
She smiled.
"You can sit with..." he looked from left to right. "Sai. Please raise your hand." Kakashi said. Sakura looked at the person who raised his hand, and saw that the boy was smiling. I guess he's kind.
She approached the empty seat beside him.
"Hello Ugly." he greeted. She clenched her fists. I guess he's not as kind as he looked.
"Don't think of it as an insult. Lee was right. You are beautiful." he smiled. She blushed, and unclenched her fists. I stand corrected.
"Thanks." she smiled. Sakura heard a snap. The both of them looked at the direction of the distracting noise to see—
"Sasuke-kun!" a girl with red hair exclaimed. "You can borrow my pencil if you want!"
'Oh crud. Karin's here?!'
"Hn." he replied.
'Double crud. Sasuke's here as well?! ARGG.' she thought. She sighed.
'Why the heck did I just do that?!' Sasuke thought.
'Well duh. It's obvious you have the hots for Sakura, and you're jealous because she's with Sai.'
'No, I don't. Just leave.'
"Since it's the first day, do whatever you want." Kakashi mumbled, opening his porno book.
"So, Sakura wanna see the group?"
"Uh...Sure."
He lead her to the farthest part of the classroom.
"Sai. Who's she?" a girl with blonde hair raised in a high ponytail asked.
"Yamanaka. Weren't you listening? This is Sakura."
"Sorry. I was kind of busy looking at something." she blushed. Looking at you.
"I'm Neji." a boy with long, brown hair kissed the back of her hand.
"I'm Naruto! But I guess you already know that!" he said, giving her a handshake.
"Nice to meet you again!" she giggled. It made every boy in the group smile slightly.
"I'm TenTen!" a girl with Chinese buns beamed.
"I'm Ino!" the blond girl from before chirped.
"I-I'm Hinata." a girl with lavender eyes stammered. Sakura looked at Hinata, then at Neji. "We're c-cousins." Hinata added. Sakura smiled.
"Is that everyone?"
"Well, you already know me." Sai said, smiling. "Oh, there's two more."
Sai lead her to the window, where two certain boys were looking outside.
"Hm. I'm Shikamaru, cutie." he said, winking at her, and returning back to look at the clouds. He swore he heard the Uchiha grunt.
"And lastly," Sai started off. "this is Sasuke."
SNEAK PEEK: "You look familiar, as if I saw you somewhere before." he said. She blushed as his eyes observed her face, his minty breath blowing onto her face.
Once again, belated happy birthday to Sakura! XD
BYE. :)
