I arrived early to School that Monday. I had my hair up in a messy bun with hair also falling from it into my face. I was again wearing glasses a new pair I had bought that weekend, it look exactly the same as the pair I had before. I walked down the halls of my school with less confidence than I should have had. Tenten was still at home recovering from a migraine after Sakura had pulled her to the floor.
Neji was with his friends somewhere I didn't know where exactly but he was around, and Sai was getting his student details from the office before any more students arrived at school. I had to go to the music room soon to meet up with Sasuke and the rest for my first practice, which was causing me to have a mental breakdown right now.
I just then reached my locker when I heard a friendly scream from down the hall. I turned to look only to see the said person who had just screamed my name. Within seconds I was encased in a hug that was sure to break bones.
"H-hi Temari-san" I muttered to her. "Hi Hina-Chan, come on we gotta go" Temari stated letting me go and grabbing my arm and pulling me away from my locker and towards the music room. As I was getting pulled away we both heard a voice call my name again.
Looking back we both saw who it was that called me. Standing behind us was Sai with his pale complexion, fake smile and deep black eyes.
"Hime" Sai said again looking at me and then to Temari who was still holding my wrist. I looked at Sai and then to Temari to say she was surprised was kind of an understatement.
With wide eyes Temari began to speak or at least try. "You're….. Sai…..actor….here…..why…Hinata?"
Sai chuckled in return and replied "Yes. Yes I am Sai. Are you a friend of Hina's?"
Temari's eyes seemed to grow even larger and then she looked at me. She didn't really know what to say only just nodding her head airily. I actually had to stifle my laugh with my hand.
I guess my laugh brought her out of her daydream because she began to squeal. "You…and him….friends? Famous….. OH MY GOD HINATA I LOVE YOU SO MUCH" Temari yelled and then gave me another hug.
I could hear Sai laughing again from behind me. "Temari…. Can't breathe" I struggled to say. Temari let me go then and then turned back to Sai finally having found some composure. "Hi I'm Temari Hinata's friend and band member… so how do you know Hina?" she asked.
"Nice to meet you" Sai replied "I'm glad you are looking after Hina-Hime" he added shortly after.
As if Temari had forgotten all about her question about how we knew each other Temari said to Sai "Sorry but I need to kidnap Hinata, we have our first band practice together". Sai nodded in understanding before saying "Can I come with?"
He was smiling at Temari again with his fake smile. I could tell it was fake because I was the only one to see his real smile and that was because he would open up to me and not others.
Temari replied with an okay and then she suddenly realized that Sai hadn't actually told her what relationship me and Sai had.
"T-Temari I d-don't think we should b-b-be talking about t-that" I managed to intervene.
"And why not? I want to know more about our bands new baby" Temari said back to me. Before I could answer her Sai spoke.
"Hinata and I used to date" He said it bluntly and I couldn't help but look at the floor embarrassed.
"Used too…?" Temari asked as we began to walk to the music room. We didn't say anything and the walk was quiet except for the constant screams of girls that had spotted the teenage movie, TV and music star.
When we finally reached to music room I could feel Temari keep on glancing at me. I turned towards her before we opened the door and said to her quietly be loud enough for Sai to hear from behind us.
"Could you p-please not t-tell anyone about m-m-me and Sai?" Temari looked like she was about to complain but the music door swung open before she could say anything and Naruto stood there staring at us grinning.
"Hiya guys!" He said before finally realizing who was behind me and was left gobsmacked as we walked into the room past the blonde.
In the room Sasuke was tuning his Guitar and Gaara was strumming the base. I look around the room and saw all the instruments.
The two turned to look at us when they heard Naruto yell. Sasuke at first didn't even look at Naruto only at me and then smirked. He then looked at Naruto and saw him pointing at Sai who was still standing behind me.
I was about to introduce everyone to Sai but Naruto beat me to it. "YOU'RE SAI! ACTOR, SINGER, and ARTIST" he screamed. Sai nodded his head.
"S-Sai and I are f-f-friends" I said softly.
Everyone turned to look at me and then back to the super star. I sighed softly and then said "time to get d-d-down to business?" everyone nodded distractedly.
Sai went to go sit down at a chair and smiled. I was so nervous about my first practice with the band and they won't even notice I'm here because Sai is sitting right in front of them. Great.
Sasuke handed me a piece of paper that had some lyrics on them and then began to play.
I guess it was now or never.
The music started. The tune was actually really good and it was kind of up lifting.
I began to sing.
He was a boy. He was a skater boy. Five years from now, she sits at home feeding the baby. He was a skater boy. He was a skater boy. Sorry, girl, but you missed out. He's just a boy, and I'm just a girl. I'm with the skater boy. I'm with the skater boy.
She was a girl.
Can I make it anymore obvious?
He was a punk.
She did ballet.
What more can I say?
He wanted her.
She'd never tell.
Secretly she wanted him as well.
And all of her friends stuck up their nose.
They had a problem with his baggy clothes.
She said, "See ya later, boy."
He wasn't good enough for her.
She had a pretty face but her head was up in space.
She needed to come back down to earth.
She's all alone.
She turns on TV and guess who she sees?
Skater boy rockin' up MTV.
She calls up her friends.
They already know.
And they've all got tickets to see his show.
She tags along,
Stands in the crowd,
Looks up at the man that she turned down.
She said, "See ya later, boy."
He wasn't good enough for her.
Now he's a superstar
Slammin' on his guitar
Does your pretty face see what he's worth?
She said, "See ya later, boy."
He wasn't good enough for her.
Now he's a superstar
Slammin' on his guitar
Does your pretty face see what he's worth?
Well, tough luck, that boy's mine now.
We are more than just good friends.
This is how the story ends.
Too bad that you couldn't see...
See that man that boy could be.
There is more than meets the eye,
I see the soul that is inside.
Can I make it anymore obvious?
We are in love.
Haven't you heard how we rock each other's world?
I said, "See ya later, boy."
I'll be backstage after the show.
I'll be at the studio singing the song we wrote
About a girl you used to know.
I said, "See ya later, boy."
I'll be backstage after the show.
I'll be at the studio singing the song we wrote
About a girl you used to know.
"H-how was it?" I asked when I finished nervously. I looked around the room to see that everyone had finally forgotten about Sai and was looking at me.
Before I could say anything else I was hugged once again for the third time that morning. Sai then spoke "as always Hime is the best" I blushed at the compliment and looked down. Naruto was next to say or yell something.
"HINATA-CHAN. YOU WERE SO AWESOME. THAT WAS WICKED." He was grinning while he said this.
A soft voice was heard next and I realized it belonged to Gaara. "Yeah good job Hinata-san". He kind of sounded familiar. Like I had met him or heard his voice before.
I then looked at Sasuke and he just smirked at me and nodded.
We went over this a couple of time going through a few original song as well as covers of known bands. It was ten minutes to class time and Temari suddenly asked Sai if he could sing a song.
Sai smiled his fake smile and said "I would love to" he then grabbed a nearby acoustic guitar and started to strum.
He then began to sing. Looking straight at me the whole time.
Ohhhhh ohhhhhh ohhhhhh ohhhhhhh Oh, her eyes, her eyes I know, I know
Make the stars look like they're not shinin'
Her hair, her hair
Falls perfectly without her trying
She's so beautiful
And I tell her everyday
Yeah
When I compliment her she won't believe me
And it's so, it's so
Sad to think that she don't see what I see
But every time she asks me, "Do I look okay?"
I say,
When I see your face (face, face...) Her lips, her lips Oh you know, you know, you know When I see your face (face, face...) The way you are When I see your face Yeah
There's not a thing that I would change
'Cause you're amazing (amazing)
Just the way you are (are)
And when you smile (smile, smile...)
The whole world stops and stares for a while
'Cause, girl, you're amazing (amazing)
Just the way you are (are).
Yeah
I could kiss them all day if she'd let me
Her laugh, her laugh
She hates but I think it's so sexy
She's so beautiful
And I tell her everyday,
I'd never ask you to change
If perfect's what you're searching for
Then just stay the same
So don't even bother asking if you look okay
You know I'll say,
There's not a thing that I would change
'Cause you're amazing (amazing)
Just the way you are (are)
And when you smile (smile, smile...)
The whole world stops and stares for a while
'Cause, girl, you're amazing (amazing)
Just the way you are (are)
The way you are
Girl, you're amazing (amazing)
Just the way you are (are)
There's not a thing that I would change
'Cause you're amazing (amazing)
Just the way you are (are)
And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for a while
'Cause, girl, you're amazing
Just the way you are
