Chapter 4 – Konoha High School
Disclaimer – I do not own Naruto. Other characters I own.
----
The next morning, the Uchiha family already sat at their eating table with their breakfast before them. Their meal was quiet as always since Mikoto and Fugaku's sons were quiet, there really wasn't any reason to start a conversation knowing that the two would start a fight; and since Sayuko would stay silent, everything was still.
"Sasuke dear, where's Sakura?" Mikoto asked, when realizing that the pink-haired girl wasn't with them. Sasuke shrugged. "Why don't you go check on her?" The boy groggily rolled his eyes at his mother before standing up from his seat and exiting the room.
"You know, sometimes I wonder how someone as sweet as Sakura would get along with someone as cold as Sasuke," Fugaku said once Sasuke disappeared up the stairs. Mikoto shrugged.
Itachi smirked. "Boy, dad, you have no idea."
----
As Sakura's door came to Sasuke view, he walked closer to it. Approaching the large wooden door, he gave it a simple knock, waiting for a reply. Nothing.
"Sakura," Sasuke called in a cold voice, "Come down for breakfast." Silence answered his demand. He gave the door two harder knocks. "Sakura, come down for breakfast." Silence. The impatient Uchiha held back his arm with his hand clenched into a fist and was ready to give Sakura's door a hard punch. His fist flew forward and was three inches away from the door when it flung open, making Sasuke punch Sakura instead. She fell back and landed with a 'Thud'.
"Ow!" the girl exclaimed, furiously rubbing her red forehead. "What was that for!"
"It wasn't my fault, your forehead was in the way," Sasuke plainly stated, turning to leave. He gave the girl a quick glance over his shoulder, "Next time, don't be late for breakfast."
Sakura glared at the Uchiha so hard she could burn a hole through his head.
INNER SAKURA: Freakin' asshole!
In the back of Sakura's head right now, she imagined grabbing a Bazooka and shooting Sasuke's head open, but she needs the money he's going to pay her, so she couldn't do that . . . not yet.
After the pain slowly eased away, she grabbed her school bag and ran down the hall to catch up with Sasuke.
----
The two teenagers enter the dining room and everyone started at Sakura's red forehead.
"Sasuke . . . what did you do to her?" Itachi questioned without breaking his gaze away from Sakura's forehead.
"Why do you assume I was the one who did it?" Sasuke snapped.
"Because you're a foolish little brother," he said. Sasuke narrowed his eyes and grabbed a fork, throwing it fast in Itachi's direction, aiming for his face. The older brother simply smacked the silverware away.
"I told you not to call me that, you son of a-" Sasuke started before being interrupted by his father.
"Boys!" Fugaku yelled. "Can we have one meal without you two fighting!"
". . . . . . Excuse me dad," Itachi started in a low voice, "I'll be leaving now." He stood up, not breaking eye contact with Sasuke and walked out the room.
"Uh . . . Sasuke, I think it's time to go," said Sakura. The boy nodded and started out the room.
"Oh, wait!" Mikoto said, standing up. "I made you children lunch." She handed the teenagers two boxed lunch.
"Thank you, Mikoto-san," Sakura said.
"Shuutome," (Is that how you spell mother-in-law?) Mikoto corrected. The pink-haired girl let out a nervous laugh. "But 'Mikoto-san' will do for now."
"Okay," Sakura replied in satisfaction. The two stuffed there lunch in their book bags.
"Have a nice day," Fugaku called over his shoulder.
Sasuke let out 'Hn' as he exited the room with his hand gripping Sakura's hand and the other holding his backpack. They walked out of the house and were greeted by Sasuke's dark blue motorcycle outside.
"Whoa, we're riding that?" Sakura said.
"Yeah," he answered, letting go of Sakura's hand.
"Why did you let go?" she turned to him.
"What?" Sasuke hissed.
"Nothing," she quickly snapped.
"Hurry up," he demanded in a cold voice. Sakura nodded, hastening her walking pace towards the motorcycle. Sasuke handed her a black helmet. Slipping it on, Sakura climbed on the bike, behind him and wrapped her arms around Sasuke's waist. He started the engine and they zoomed off, entering the streets of Konoha.
----
Sasuke held Sakura's hand when they walked on the crowded school ground. Girls dreamingly smiled at the Uchiha as he brushed past them. They would let out:
"Hey, Sasuke-kun."
"I love you!"
"Sasuke, you're my one and only love!"
The raven-haired boy would narrow his eyes in annoyance and ignored their pathetic spoken words.
Spotting a small group of girls ahead, he turned to Sakura.
"Why don't you go hang out with Tenten and them?" Sasuke said, carelessly pointing to a girl with two buns, a long haired blonde, and a shy white eyed girl waving at them.
"O-okay," Sakura answered before they departed. He headed towards a group of boys not far away from them.
"Hey!" the cheerful brunette greeted her.
"Hi," Sakura smiled.
"I'm really excited to meet you," the blonde said, shaking her hand.
"You are?" asked Sakura.
"Well, duh? You are Sasuke's fiancée," said the blonde.
"I am?" Sakura asked in disbelief. The three girls stared at her.
"Oh, yeah . . . I am," she said when her mind recalled why she was here in the first place. Wow! Words fly fast around here.
"Well, anyways," the brunette started, "I'm Tenten."
"Ino's my name. This is Hinata," she said, holding out her arms in the shy girl's direction.
"H-hi," Hinata stuttered, gluing her pearl-white eyes to the ground. Sakura smiled.
----
"That's your fiancée, huh?" Neji said, studying the pink-haired girl from a distance.
"Yup, isn't she pretty?" Naruto asked with a grin.
"Hmph," Shikamaru grunted, looking away with his back pressed against the school's brick wall. They boys hid from the harsh morning sun.
"Did you guys tell the girls that this whole thing was fake?" Sasuke asked bluntly, stuffing his hands into his pockets.
"No," the white eyed boy answered.
"You can never trust a girl on private stuffs like this. It's such a drag," Shikamaru said lazily.
". . . That's true," Naruto agreed.
----
Tenten, Ino, and Hinata walked down the crowned hall showing Sakura the way to the principle's office to pick up her schedule.
"You know, shouldn't Sasuke be the one doing this kind of stuff for you?" Ino asked.
"What do you mean?" questioned the pink-haired girl.
"Showing you around, staying by your side; not that we don't want to show you around or anything," the blonde explained.
"Oh, I don't mind. I don't care if he hangs with his friends 24/7," Sakura said, following close behind the three girls.
"Here it is," Tenten exclaimed when they came to a large wooden door. "You can handle it by yourself, right?"
"Yeah," Sakura said with a smile. "Thank you. You guys don't have to wait for me. I'll catch up with you guys later."
"Okay. S-see you later, then," Hinata quietly said. The three girls headed down the crowded hallway. She watched her new friends skipped away until they were out of her sight. Sakura turned to the door and let out a deep breath.
She gave the door a knock.
"Come in," a strong feminine voice called. Sakura slowly cracked the door open and stepped into the principle's large office. The blonde woman looked up from her papers and smiled. "I believe you are the new student?"
"Yes, ma'am," the girl answered.
"Well, here's your schedule," Tsunade said handing her a white sheet of paper. She quickly walked over to her desk and took the paper.
"Thank you . . ." Sakura glanced at the principle's name plate, ". . . Principle Tsunade."
Tsunade smiled as the girl left her room. "Have a nice day," Sakura said cheerfully.
"You too," Tsunade called back before lowering her head to continue where she left off.
Just when Sakura stepped into the hallway, the bell went off. Everyone grabbed their books, slammed their lockers shut, bid farewell to each other, and rushed to their classes.
----
Sakura's first class was gym. It was a disaster; running 8 freaking laps under 8 freaking minutes! Sakura only ran 2 rounds and was already worn out. She has to admit . . . Guy-sensei really is a weird dude.
Next class- Social Studies
Asuma-sensei is a cool guy. Despite his bluntness; Sakura loves how he explains the lessons so clearly. Social study's a piece a cake for Sakura.
After Social Studies- Math
"Alright," Kakashi started once all of his students were firmly seated in their seats, "clear your desk of all materials except for a pencil; you're going to have a test." Everyone in the class groaned. What's the big deal? It's just a test, Sakura thought. When she received her paper, she glanced at it. It's not that bad.
"Aw, come on," a student groaned when receiving the white sheet.
"It's impossible to ace on this test," another wined.
"Don't even bother, it's already impossible to even finish this," another student mumbled.
"Start whenever you're ready," said Kakashi, returning to his desk. He opened his orange perverted book and ignored everything around him.
The students repeatedly scan over the questions and nervously tapped their pencils on their desk while Sakura quickly scratched the answers onto the paper, filling in the lines provided. People stared at her like she wasn't human.
How does she do that! They thought. These questions are freaking hard!
Naruto and Sasuke sat right next to each other near the window.
"What's the answer to number 1?" the blonde slowly hissed.
"I'm not telling you," Sasuke whispered.
"What's the answer to number 1?" Naruto repeated, hissing slowly.
"Shut up, idiot!" Sasuke hissed, narrowing his eyes in annoyance.
"So . . . decided to cheat, huh?" Kakashi asked, popping out behind them. The two jerked forward in surprise.
". . . . ." the two boys stayed silent. Writing down whatever that popped in their head, pretending that nothing happened.
----
Done, Sakura mentally sighed and glanced around the room. Sasuke's still working? Wait . . . did he cheat! (-Gasp-) That bad, bad boy!
"Are you done?" the teacher asked the girl. Sakura turned to him and slowly nodded.
"Yes, Kakashi-sensei," she answered. He walked over to her desk and took the paper, taking a few minutes running his eye (-And I really mean 'eye'-)
The sensei raised his eyebrows and nodded his head in satisfaction. Kakashi pulled out a red marker from his right pocket and sloppily wrote '100' on Sakura's smooth paper. The class stared at her score in awe.
"See class; acing this test was possible after all," Kakashi said, smiling behind his mask.
Sasuke scoffed, Ch, top-notch student, ne?
----
Sakura walked down the cafeteria with her boxed lunch in her hand and two wooden chopsticks in her other hand. She looked around to find Sasuke. He sat at a table with Neji, Naruto, Shikamaru, Chouji, Tenten, Hinata, and Ino.
Ino waved at her. "Sit over here!" she called. Sakura smiled and fastened her pace towards them. A small puddle of milk laid a few feet away from her path. Not spotting it, she slipped from her fast pace.
Tenten let out a small gasp, Hinata widened her eyes in horror, and Ino cupped her mouth while the boys at the table paid close attention to Sakura, waiting for the painful and embarrassing results of her fall.
Sakura felt her foot slipping fast and next thing she knew she fell backwards . . . into someone's arms? She found herself staring into black orbs of a teen her age.
On the other hand, Sasuke's eyebrow twitched. His friends sitting at the table noticed this.
I see someone jealous, Naruto thought.
The dark-haired boy helped Sakura to her feet.
"Thanks," she said.
"No problem," the boy answered with a smile.
"You're my hero," she told him. He laughed. "I'm Sakura."
"My name is Sai," he answered. "You should watch your step next time. That fall would've been nasty."
"Oh, thanks. I'll be more careful next time," she said with a gentle smile.
"Have a nice lunch," Sai said cheerfully.
"You too," Sakura said, before running towards the others who saw the whole incident. A faint blush could be seen on Sakura's cheeks.
"Oow," Ino teased.
"Shut up, Ino," the pink-haired girl snapped while taking a seat next to her. Sasuke still had his eyes narrowed.
"You like him, don't you?" said Tenten.
"No I don't. I just met him," Sakura snapped.
"Oh, come on, admit it. I saw it in your eyes," Ino said, nudging Sakura's arm with her elbow.
"No I don't!" she yelled.
"We were just playing around; you take things too seriously," the brunette stated.
"But still, I don't like him. I already have Sasuke," Sakura smiled, averting her gaze into the Uchiha's eyes.
Sasuke's narrowed eyes disappeared as a crimson red blush appeared.
"Ahem, ye-yeah," the boy said, trying his best to get rid of his burning cheeks.
"Sakura, I almost forgot to ask you," Tenten started, "do you want to come to the Konoha High singing competition with us? We're supporting a friend."
"Um . . . I don't have anything planned for tonight; I don't mind," Sakura answered.
----
7:00 P.M. - KONOHA HIGH SCHOOL SINGING COMPETITION:
People were busy backstage. Chatting with one another, putting on makeup, and getting dressed in their nicest clothing.
The auditorium was packed with families and friends.
Sasuke and the rest of the group entered the auditorium, looking for open seats.
"Sakura come with us," Tenten said, pulling Sakura's hand. Hinata, Ino, and Tenten dragged Sakura backstage into an empty makeup room; only one person was there.
"Sakura, this is Ayona; Ayona, this is Sakura," Ino introduced.
"Hi," Sakura greeted. The black-haired girl smiled.
"We're here supporting her," said Tenten.
"Hey, where's Sasuke?" Ayona asked.
"Outside," Hinata answered.
"I'll be right back," the black-haired girl said, leaving the room.
"We'll come with you," Ino called before leaving the room with the rest of the girls. Sakura was left alone. She looked around the room. The small room was packed with makeup kits.
"What are you doing!" a woman demanded, rushing into the room and grabbed her arm.
"Uh . . . I was just-"
"You're up next," the woman said, dragging her out of the room.
"What!" Sakura asked.
"Quiet! You're singing next," said the woman.
They appeared on the stage, the woman handed her a black microphone.
"What's your name, kid?" a man asked.
"Uh, H-Haruno Sakura," she stuttered. The woman pushed her onto the stage. Staring out into the crowd, the auditorium had the maximum of 200 people watching.
"Haruno Sakura, singing 'Gravity'," the man announced.
Oh no! Sakura mentally screamed. The spotlight hit her, followed her figure as she slowly walked to the center of the stage, not knowing what to do and the sound of the piano started to play.
Sasuke's eyes widened. "What the hell is she doing!"
"She's stealing my spot!" Ayona exclaimed.
What do I do? What do I do? Sakura panicked.
TBC . . .
Authors note: Uh oh, don't throw up, Sakura! It took me forever to finish this chapter! Sorry again for the late update, my freaking mom is freaking strict about being on the computer! I only have 1 hour on the computer! ARG, I'M SO MAD! IT DRIVES ME NUTS!
In this story, I'm going to make Sakura the smartest, because it is true. Sasuke may have the top grades but Sakura's knowledge is above all of the other students in her grade. Can someone tell me what 'writer's block' is?
Well, anyways, REVIEW!
