~~~~UNLUCKY OR CURSED?~~~~~~~

...
...

Sakura was swinging alone in front of her foster home's backyard.

Her mind went to what had happened in school.

Why was everyone treating her like that?

She didn't want to cry or anything otherwise people would think of her weak.

She kept swinging slowly with her eyes focused on the ground in front of her, while a few strands of her now pink hair loosely blew in her sad face.

A boy who looked her age approached her.
He was wearing a black shirt and black pants.

His hair was raven black and when he came closer, Sakura noticed he had the most beautiful dark orbs she had ever seen.

"Why are you crying?" He asked softly

"Oh nothing...just thinking" Sakura scoffed

"About what ?" He asked again

Sakura gave him a look that clearly showed how annoyed by his sudden questioning.

But in the end she really needed someone to talk to even if it was a stranger.

"My existence is weird. No one likes me, everyone avoids me like I'm a plague or something. They don't even try to put themselves into my position ...its as if I'm cursed to never have friends!"

The boy cocked his head to the right " But you do have at least one friend?"

"Yeah, she's the only one who doesn't criticize me or anything"

The boy didn't say anything after that and Sakura raised her head up again to see if he was still there.

Finally he turned around and began walking away "You are not Cursed..
you are just unique" he said ,his voice sounding farther away with each step he took.

"Wha...?"

"Oh and by the way Happy Birthday" his voice said again before he completely vanished into thin air.

Sakura stood there staring at the place he was standing in a minute ago.
Confusion in her features.

"How did he know my birthday?"

...

...

SAKURA'S ROOM

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU SAKURA,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!

Sakura opened her sleepy eyes to look at Akira standing in front of her holding a birthday cake.

"Akira..you..."

"Happy birthday Sakura!" Akira yelled pulling her into a hug

"Thanks" Sakura said

"Alright now, make a wish" Akira said putting the cake on the table beside Sakura.

She pushed Sakura up and made her sit close to it.
Sakura laughed a little rolling her eyes at Akira's cheerful attitude and faced the cake.

She closed her eyes and made her wish.

*I wish to find where I belong to*

After repeating that sentence three times in her head, she blew out all the eighteen candle lights on her cake.

"Alright! You are now officially eighteen years old, So we can partyyyy!"

The door opened to reveal their foster mother Miss Mai.

"What's all this racket?! Keep it down people are trying to sleep!" She yelled totally ignoring the girl's faces and the birthday cake beside them before slamming the door shut.

Sakura shrugged and shook her head "She just ruined our parade"

"Nope, she didn't ...because today is your day Sakura, don't let that witch spoil it, today will be special for you...I can feel it"

Sakura smiled and Akira brought out two spoons which they used to eat the cake while laughing and talking silently so as not to bring Miss Mai upstairs again.

"I can't believe I'm eighteen today, I feel so old" Sakura said

"Uhm r odd" Akira said with food in her mouth. She swallowed it with a gulp and spoke again "You ARE old"

Sakura glared at her and hit her with her elbow. "Come on, we are going to be late for school"

Sakura got up and went into the bathroom to have her bath, while Akira dressed up.

...

...
When they got to school, Sakura noticed she was receiving a lot of stares and some whispers could be heard.

She gulped ...what did she do now?

Akira stood in front of her protecting her like the black knight she was.

"Don't worry Saks, I'll protect you today" Akira whispered to her as they entered their classroom.

The whole class immediately fell silent and they turned to face them.

Sakura and Akira walked to their seats and that's when she heard Karin and her friends talking.

"What the hell?! Didn't we pour black dye on it yesterday?" Karin said

"How come its like that?"One of her girls asked

"Its like nothing happened"

"She really is a huge freak"

Before Sakura could ponder on what they were saying ,homeroom started and everyone settled down.

The class door opened and Mr Asuma, their literature teacher walked in.

"Good day class'' he greeted

"Good day sir" The class replied

"Today class...we'll be talking about ..."

"Uh Mr Asuma?" Karin interrupted "I was wondering if you could tell us of the homecoming issue first"

"And what about it Miss Uzumaki?" Asuma asked

"Well, teachers are usually the ones who tell us what to do and nominate the representatives " Karin answered

"Well if that's the case...I guess I'll have to make some wise decisions"
Asuma said putting emphasis on the word *Wise*

"Beauty, brains, popularity, and all that jazz" Karin Said giving Asuma one of her best smiles.
She was definitely wishing to get picked.

"Ugh, even her smile is disgusting" Akira said making Sakura cover her mouth to stiff her giggling .

"Well then, let's see" Asuma said scanning his eyes through the classroom.

He ignored most of the students who flipped their hair backwards and batted their eyelashes like barbie dolls obviously wanting to get picked.

"Okay for homecoming king, I'm going to nominate uh...that guy sitting alone at the back seat" Asuma said pointing to guy behind making everyone turn.

Soon mumble could be heard through the whole class.

"Hey, is he new?"

"When did he come in?"

"How come we didn't notice him?''

"Wow is he cute or what?" Karin said.

Akira rolled her eyes at Karin and faced Sakura "Have you seen him before?"

"Nope" Sakura said. She turned back and did a double take at the strange boy sitting behind them and what she took note of where his dark piercing orbs.

Wait a minute! Wasn't this guy ...?

"What's your name?" Asuma asked the boy

"Sasuke" he replied.

His voice was deep and sakura could feel herself melting.

She looked around and realized she wasn't the only one who fell for his voice.
Most girls were already blushing and boys were boiling with hot anger because of that.

"Sasuke? you must be the new student right?"

Sasuke nodded.

"Alright Sasuke, for your homecoming queen...I'll choose ...uh"
Asuma's eyes rolled through the class again.

He did a double take when his eyes landed on Karin and then roamed the class with his eyes again until they finally rested on Sakura.

Noticing his stare on her,
Sakura swallows a lump in her throat and tried to plead with her eyes to Asuma not to do what she suppossed he was about to do.

"Please no" She whispered

"For homecoming queen, I nominate Haruno Sakura for brains, beauty and all that jazz" Asuma said repeating Karin's words.

Both Sakura and Akira's jaw went down as the class went into stunned silence.

Akira leaned in and whispered to Sakura "Told you something good would happen today"

"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!" Karina shrieked "Mr Asuma, you can't nominate her"

Asuma shrugged "I think I just did"

The bell rang and Asuma walked out of the class.

Karin and her clones faced Sakura "Don't think you have won"

They exited the classroom with all the other pupils, leaving only Sakura and Akira to remain in it.

"Akira, I am so doomed! Now I know i really am Unlucky. What will I do, I don't want to get bullied by Karin and her clones again"

"Don't worry Sakura, leave it to me" Akira said and ran out of the classroom to.

Sakura sung to her seat and sighed "Why me?"

She heard a sound and raised her head .
Turning back she noticed she wasn't the only one in class.

The new boy was there too.
His arms were folded and his eyes closed as if mediating.

Sakura gulped. He really looked familiar ...very very familiar.

Before she could examine him more , the boy stood up and carrying his bag with him to the door.

"We shall meet again soon Sakura" he said and then walked out.

Sakura blinked .
What the hell...
