"Freak!"
"Loser!"
"Geek!"
"I can't believe you fell for that! Like Uchiha Sasuke would ever fall for you,"
She cursed the name-callers in her head silently and yelled at herself.
You're such a baka, Sakura. Baka, baka, baka. You should've just stayed in your corner where you were content.
Sakura shuffled through the teasing crowd at her school. They made fun of her because she had the most hurtful prank pulled on her by the 'popular kids' of the school: the heartthrob, Uchiha Sasuke was to date her, Haruno Sakura. A nobody.
She sighed and attempted to ignore the rude remarks made...she didn't fit in because...well, she didn't do what most teenager girls had done.
Sakura was pure, except her first kiss was wasted.
Other than that, she was pure. The purest of all the degrading girls at her school. And they teased her for that.
"Oops! My bad," Yamanaka Ino bumped into Sakura, causing her to trip onto the floor. Everyone laughed and Sakura sighed...again. There's no way that these freaks are high schoolers.
Ino laughed, "Seriously, Haruno. You keep getting more pathetic by the day,"
Ino was one of the kids who were involved in the pranking, along with her other friends. Sakura had already set up their profiles in her mind.
Yamanaka Ino
16 years old; second year; class IIC
Red ruby dance team captain; student activity student-coordinator
Selfish, rude, conceited. Beautiful, popular, talented.
Takahashi Tenten
16 years old; second year; class IIC
Softball team co-captain; Japanese club
Sarcastic (in a mean way), outspoken, witty. Also beautiful, also popular, and also talented
Nara Shikamaru
16 years old; second year; class IIC
Basketball team; academic challenge
Intelligent, beautiful, lazy, relaxed.
Uzumaki Naruto
16 years old; second year; class IIG
Football team; Japanese club; DDR
Nice, in his own way. Harmless, is just friends with the wrong crowd.
Uchiha Sasuke
16 years old; second year; class IIG
Basketball team; football team; Japanese club
Stoic, impolite, smart. Corrupt, popular, beautiful. & a newly-labeled womanizer.
Yeah, those were the masterminds of the whole problem. Why they did it was beyond Sakura, maybe they just liked to make people cry.
Sakura ignored Ino and walked on. She stopped at her locker and smiled at her only friend there. Hyuuga Hinata. The popular kids were planning to pull off the same prank using Naruto, but Hinata's cousin, Neji saw through it.
After the whole prank thing came off on Sakura, Neji told Sakura's older brothers, Gaara and Kankurou. Let's just say that Sakura was not allowed to even talk to any guy with a few exceptions.
"H...hi, Sakura-chan," Hinata greeted her friend. Sakura smiled and said hello back.
"Are you alright? I...I saw what happened between y...you and Ino,"
"Yeah, I'm fine." Sakura assured, grinning at Ino, "She's not going to make me cry,"
Hinata smiled back and after a few moments, froze. Horror was present in her eyes. Sakura looked at Hinata, "H...Hinata? What---"
"Don't look!" Hinata panicked, "Just...just trust me. Don't look!"
Sakura shrugged and from the corner of her eye saw him. Her exboyfriend. Sasuke. Sakura bit her lip and watched in horror as Ino pranced up to him and kissed him square on his lips.
Yeah, Ino had started dating him a few days after the prank.
"Hey Sasuke-kun! Do you want to go to the club after school?" Ino batted her eyes seductively.
"Hn." he smirked and Ino winked at him.
"How indecent," Hinata murmured. She turned to Sakura and noticed that Sakura was crying inside her locker. Ino saw and started to laugh at her, Sasuke just watched blankly.
"Seriously Sakura you're so..." Ino didn't finished, because Hinata pushed Ino onto the ground. Their little clique gasped in surprise.
"L...leave her alone!" Hinata yelled, "You've done enough you...you assholes!"
"What was that?!?!" Tenten snapped. She grabbed Hinata by the collar and reeled her over to land a smack on her face, but of course...
"Tenten! What are you doing?!" a voice barked.
Tenten blushed and dropped Hinata, who was grabbed by her cousin, Neji. She stood beside him, clutching onto his arm. Neji had helped Sakura up as well.
"N...Neji! I...I erm..." she was caught.
"Its over." was all he said, before leaving her with Ino and Sasuke. Sakura and Hinata meekly followed Hinata's cousin.
"A...arigatoo...N-Neji-niichan," Hinata thanked. Neji smirked and carelessly waved his hand, "No prob, I was going to dump Tenten anyway. After what she did to Lee."
"Lee-san?" Sakura asked.
"Yeah, paid Uchiha to beat him down just because we plannedour video-game rampagethe day that Ino and Sasuke were going to the movies and Tenten wanted a date too," Neji grumbled, "stupid reason, really,"
"Soo ne?" Sakura asked. She looked down concealing her disturbance when she heard 'Ino, Sasuke, and date'. Neji rolled his eyes and patted Sakura on her back, "He wasn't even worth it,"
Sakura smiled sweetly, "Thanks Neji,"
Hinata hugged her cousin lightly and the three laughed together. They failed to notice the pair of angered obsidian orbs watching them closely.
"Neji..."

"Happy Valentine's day!"
Yeah, it was Valentine's day.Ino jumped on Sasuke and hugged him...no reaction. For the past few weeks Sasuke had been...stoic. Well, at least more than usual.
"Sasuke-kun?" Ino questioned. Sasuke glared slightly, "Hn."
She was a bit taken back, but shook it off. A few moments after the doors of the school opened and thecliques'jaws nearly dropped seeing what they did.
In front was Hinata and Neji,grinning brilliantly. And after then came her. Sakura.
She was...beautiful (?!) Her pink, normally pigtail-braided hair was worn into a long cascade. It came to her mid-back andcurled at the end, bouncing asshe walked.
Her thick, square-rimmed glasses were gone, showing off her eyes. Sparkling and emerald. A jewel like no other, it complimented her hair perfectly. She wore the lightest of make-up, making her glow like nothing else.
Yeah, she attracted a lot of attention. Plentiful of chocolates and roses were thrown in her direction, earning glares and invitations of death from the Uchiha who had given her up.
How stupid.
He watched closely as she passed by him, ignoring the looks he gave her.
"Hey Sakura…" he said. Sakura turned and smiled sweetly.
"…hai?" it was calmly said, but on the inside, she was panicking. She was screaming…
Kill him.
N…no. I love him!
He did you wrong.
Ino did it!
He went out with her after he did you wrong!
I still love him though.
I don't care. What would Hinata say? What would Neji say?
…
"…well?!" Sakura then snapped. Sasuke was taken back, no one had ever talked to her like that before, "I've other things to do and you're really wasting my time,"
No answer so Sakura grumbled something and stalked off with Neji and Hinata after her. Unwanted tears and images came to Sakura. Memories of them…together.
"I love you Sasuke-kun,"
"I'm not going to leave you Sakura,"
"I never liked you. You're so annoying,"
All hurt. Bad.
So throughout the whole day, Sakura cried when she was alone and was mean to everyone else, with the exception of a few.
"Hey S…Sakura-chan, do you w…wanna go out to celebrate Valentine's with m…me and N…Naruto-kun?" Hinata asked at the end of the day.
Sakura cocked a brow, "Naruto?"
"We date now…h…he apologized t…to me at l…lunch and asked me out," Hinata explained, a light shade of pink spread over her cheeks.
Sakura smiled, "Sure. Where at?"
"Tsuki Umi Café on Tokyo Ave. We'll be there at 7: 30," Hinata told Sakura. Sakura nodded and the two departed.
From across the parking lot, Sasuke was intensely observing the pink-haired beauty climb into her pink sports car and drive off towards her house.
"…gomenasaiSakura…koi,"
"Sasuke-kunnnn!" Ino wailed , while crying into Tenten's shoulder.
"Its okay, " Tenten tried.
"Why'd he break up with meeee!" Ino screamed, startling a few people passing by. Shikamaru shook his head, "You drugged him and got your 'magician uncle' to hypnotize him,"
"Shut up!" Ino bawled, getting Tenten to gasp, "What'd you do?"
"…I…I sorta, kinda got uncle to hypnotize Sasuke-kun,"
"This is retarded." Shikamaru grumbled, "Ino, you lost. You called Sakura pathetic and yet you're the one who got Sasuke to dump her and whatnot. You are the most troublesome woman I've ever met,"
Ino glared, "Shut up! When I call my uncle, he'll do a permanent hypnosis and…" as she ranted, everyone left her.

"Happy Valentine's day!" everyone shouted in the Tsuki Umi Café.
Sakura sighed and stirred her drink. Slow music came on and she swallowed hard as soon as she heard the familiar beats.
It was their song.
"…Sakura-chan…" Naruto called.
Sakura merely smiled and signaled for Naruto and Hinata to go dance on the dance floor. Naruto and Hinata tilted their heads.
"A..are you sure, Sakura-chan?" Hinata asked.
Sakura nodded and Naruto grinned, "Thanks Sakura-chan! You're the best!"
With that said, he grabbed Hinata's hand and lugged her onto the floor. Sakura sighed and watched the happy couples dance.
If only I had seen it coming, I would've been able to fall out of love with him…
I admit it…its too late…
Fate sucks, eh?
Sure does…
"Um…excuse me," Sakura looked up and looked into the eyes of another face similar to Sasuke's.
"…"
The boy smiled and offered his hand, "Would you like to dance?"
Do it!
But I'm depressed today---
NOWWWWWW!
"…okay…" was Sakura's reply.
Smirking, the guy took Sakura and led her onto the dance floor.
"So are you new here?" Sakura asked while they were dancing. The boy shrugged, "No, not really, I just don't come out often,"
"What's your name?" she asked.
"Sai." the guy responded. Sakura smiled, "I'm Sakura,"

From far away entered Sakura's beloved, Sasuke. He scanned the place for his rosette-haired angel.
And alas, he found her. Dancing with another. Alack. He was confused. Wherefore was his ownbeloved dancing in the arms of another? Smiling and talking…
Pangs of regret.
It wasn't even his fault.
Ino.
He cursed the day the blonde had seen him, talking to the outsider of the school. Anger erupted within him and he marched in the direction of Sakura and Sai.
"So, you loved him and he played you just like that, huh?" Sai asked. Sakura nodded sadly.
"He traded me for Ino…something better," Sakura added, looking onto the floor, crystalline jewels forming in her own emerald orbs.
"Ino? As in Yamanaka Ino?" Sai questioned. Sakura nodded, "You're not Haruno Sakura, are you? The one who dated Sasuke?"
Sakura once again nodded slowly. Sai sighed, "Ino…"
"Do you know something Sai-san?"
He nodded and took her outside onto the balcony. She turned and looked at him, "What do you know?"
"Ino probably did something to Sasuke to date her,"
"How do you know?" Sakura questioned.
"She's done the same thing to me before…it just didn't work." Sakura gasped, "What did she do?""She has some sort of Uncle who can hypnotize, nothing serious, unless you can be hypnotized…Sasuke's probably those types,"
Sakura gasped. As strange as it seemed, it made sense. Sakura's head furiously worked, she didn't even see Sai leave and Sasuke enter.
"Hy…p…nos…is," Sakura pondered.
"Sakura." Sasuke called.
She turned and gasped, "Sasuke…kun?"
He approached her…and she just stared on. His eyes held the same special something as before. Love.
Smiling and sobbing, she threw herself at him, embracing him tightly, asked desperately if it really was Ino's sick joke and not his own doing.
One word made her happy, "Hai." And after…one phrase and fixed everything. He bent down to her ear, and whispered gently, "Aishiteru"
They smiled, laughed, cried, kissed. All in that one night. Valentine's day was sure something wacked up.

1 year later…
"Happy Valentine's day, Sasuke-kun!" Sakura chirped, jumping on her boyfriend's back from behind.
Sasuke smirked and held onto her swinging her around the place. Sakura laughed hysterically as Sasuke carried her up a hill.
Finally getting off of Sasuke's back, Sakura cupped his cheeks and kissed him. Sasuke smiled into the kiss and wrapped his arms around her waist, reeling her closer to him.
A few moments afterward, Sakura felt herself being lifted off the ground into Sasuke's arms. Her frail arms came around his neck tightly and they broke apart, breathing hard.
"You know, I think this Valentine's day is the best out of the few we've spent together," Sasuke commented.
"Why's that?" Sakura asked, still in Sasuke's strong arms.
"Because no fangirls have plotted against us," he answered. Sakura laughed and brought his face close to hers, "Its because they know better than to mess with us, aishiteru, Sasuke-kun,"
"Aishiteru Sakura,"
Owari. What chu' thankkkk? Okay now, on to the ranting section.
Time: 12:08 PM
Topic: Flames
Rant start: 12:09 PM
Yeah, I've never gotten one of these before, but I'd like to talk about this touchy subject. Let's make a guide book, shall we?
How to deal with flames
…
…
…
Flame: (Fley-m):noun
1. burning gas or vapor, as from wood or coal, that is undergoing combustion; a portion of ignited gas or vapor.
2. intense ardor, zeal, or passion.
3. Computer Slang. an angry, critical, or disparaging electronic message, as an e-mail or newsgroup post.
Number 3 is the most common up here. I've labeled a few types of flames there's:
1.) A geekish rampage with incorrect spelling, grammar (no one can spell that right), and whatnot. I find these quite hilarious. I mean seriously: 'OMG! Ur storey sukkkssss! U cant even spell rite!' LOL. LMAO. To the fullest.
2.) A sarcastic, rude, and unnecessary review. I can't stand these, and though I myself am sarcastic, this doesn't fight fire with fire, it soaks the matches in gasoline.
'Turn off the bold, get rid of the OC's and cheesy lines and you might just be a good author.
Right now, it's hard to judge.-san'
Yeah, pretty mean.
3.) Contructive criticism, mean style. Its meant to be for the good…but it isn't for the author's feelings. I don't appreciate it. And I think others would agree with me.
'You do know, that gay people are usually kind and just becuase you are gay doesn't mean that you are crazy. yourfic... no comment. it was ok but you maddenaruto and hinata very on and off and hinata isn't that weak. neji would nevr be a player and shika would say it is too trouble some. naruto too. sasuke is the only one who would do that.' (this one is mine from 'What a girl wants' & the person should know that they themselves were stereotyping too. Baka.)
So how to deal? You: IGNORE, DON'T REPLY, & JUST GO ON. If people give encouraging reviews, than keep writing for them.
Remember: anyone can write.
TIME!
Rant end: 12:31 PM
Next time: ...your turn :D
Twist. Twist.
A little bit of it. I hope its okay :) This is going to be a three-shot. Mmkay? The story is generally based on 'The Wallflower'.
If you don't know what it is...well, that's okay :D I really like that series though. Hopefully I can start getting the manga for that series, since I've collected all of Naruto Pt I., except a certain volume twenty-four (Pt II. doesn't come til' March.) I hope you liked it.
Who's who? Naruto/The Wallflower
Sakura-Sunako
Sasuke-Kyohei
Shikamaru-Takenaga
