Chapter 25: Heart Break

Summer is over and my anticipation has come to an end.

It's time for high school.

On the first day of school all of the ninth graders were introduced to their advisors, my schedule said I got someone named Hatake Kakashi.

He seemed like a very friendly guy, but a bit mysterious too.

Would you like to know why?

He has a mask covering his face. I'm kind of curious what exactly he's hiding under there.

Kakashi Sensei is one of the physics teachers at our school, and when you get to high school, that is the time when you start up your missions.

Your advisor becomes your mission leader, so I don't think I'll have a problem.

There were a lot of new students this year. I noticed that majority of the girls fit very well in with the "popular" group.

Now with my new found extroverted personality, I introduced myself to all of the new students.

There was one girl who I especially cliqued with, her name was Temari.

I got to know her well and we somehow hit it off. We hung out a lot during lunch or any free time we had together.

Apparently she came from Sunagakure, and rented an apartment in Konoha.

As this year passed I began to, in a way, idolize her.

She really is one of a kind.

Like me, Temari also has a fiery personality. The only thing is, she definitely has come out of her shell and doesn't let people step all over her.

Especially people like Atsushi.

Yes, I still want that Hokage's prize, and I am not going to give up these next three years without a fight!

Temari doesn't take crap from Atsushi and puts him in his place.

I need to learn to be like that.

She also has a very different hair style.

I mean you don't normally find people with four large ponytails on the back of their head, but she actually looks good in them.

She also seems to have taken a liking to her English teacher, Asuma Sensei.

The one thing they have in common is their love of literature. She gets severely red in the face every time she comes across him, and I start laughing.

Yes, that is pretty immature of me.

Temari, Hinata, and I have become really close. The two of them know about my intense feelings for Daichi.

Speaking of Daichi, things have become very awkward between us.

Whenever I walk in the hallways alone, I always seem to run into him. We don't speak at all to each other.

I think I know the reason why it's gotten worse, because this past summer I messaged him asking what happened between us.

Of course that jerk wouldn't give me a straight up answer, and would reply with something immature like, "YOUR MOM!"

No matter how much I want to stop liking him, I……..I just can't.

These feelings are too intense for me to handle.

I tell both Hinata and Temari about this, but they tell me to forget about it.

Easier said than done……

Suddenly Temari and I got into a conversation about Naruto.

"He's actually become a lot cuter" I said.

"You're right Sakura, he's now grown taller. His blonde hair looks so good with his tanned skin and his blue eyes" agreed Temari.

"No seriously, when I look at them, it's almost like looking at the ocean. I know it's kind of cheesy but its true".

Temari just laughed at my comment.

"What do you think Hinata?" she asked her.

Hinata stayed silent for a while. I noticed that her originally pale face grew pinker by the second, eventually turning into a tomato red color after about 5 silent minutes.

"Why are you blushing Hina?" I asked her.

"O-Oh…..i-its nothing…….."

It's gotta be something! Look at you! Your face is a cherry" laughed Temari.

"W-Well……okay if I tell you, don't tell anyone……" she said poking her two index fingers together.

"We won't!" Temari and I promised.

"I-I l-like……N-Naruto".

"HA! I knew it!" Temari exclaimed.

"How long have you liked him Hinata?" I asked.

She stopped poking her two fingers together and looked at me, "For five long years……"

"FIVE YEARS!? Why hasn't she given up on him yet!? This guy is too dense to notice….."

I smiled, "I think it's funny how all three of us like three guys. Except, I think that my situation is the worst out of all of ours. I mean Temari sure you like a teacher, but you guys talk and he doesn't suspect a thing".

Temari nodded when I continued, "And Hinata……ok so you've liked Naruto for five years and the idiot is too dense to notice but he doesn't act weird around you! I don't know what to do with Daichi you guys……."

This time it was Hinata's turn to speak, "W-Why, don't y-you say hi to him?"

I sighed, "Well……it's not that easy. I'm kind of afraid of what he's going to say to me….."

"Afraid!? Sakura, it's not like he's going to hit you. This is a school after all and you're a girl. Just give it some time" Temari assured me.

I nodded, "Alright, I will say hi to him………..eventually".

Ninth grade has been going so well for me; I've become very popular amongst the teachers.

Kakashi sensei and I have become a lot closer. I come to him when all sorts of problems arise in my life.

My dad and I aren't that close, he's usually out so I talk to Kakashi sensei or Iruka Sensei just to get the male perspective on things.

Unlike everyone else in my advisory, I am pretty much the only one greeting sensei. I remember he told me once that I was his favorite student, it was so sweet.

My mother got a chance to meet him during the parent teacher conferences, and she has also taken a liking to him. She's been ecstatic about my performance in my academics this year.

I've been getting usually all A's and only one B, the best I have ever done in my life so far!

Well everything has been going well so far until something so……upsetting came up………..

It was during lunch and as usual I sat with my usual group. The table was filled when I got there with only one seat left, so I decided to take the spot.

While I munched on my PB&J sandwich (yes I still eat them), I noticed that Ino came up behind me. I smiled at her when she gave me this dirty look and said, "What are you doing in my seat!? I was sitting there first, now leave!"

"Ino, I didn't even see your stuff here. Otherwise, I would not have sat down".

She still didn't take no for answer and continued to harass me.

I tried to remain calm, but was getting so pissed inside.

I looked to Hinata and Mitsuko, hoping they would say something to tell Ino that clearly her stuff wasn't there.

They just sat there and continued to eat their lunches.

Then I immediately left and finished lunch by myself. I started to notice that in each and every one of my classes none of them would pick me to be their partners for anything. I was basically the substitute incase someone else wasn't there.

"It's like second grade all over again…."

Unfortunately Temari and I didn't share any of our classes together so one day I broke down in front of her about this whole problem and she sat and comforted me.

"You know Sakura……..those girls have been gossiping a lot about you. Saying things like you're annoying. They don't' like the fact that you are a happy person".

I stopped crying and looked up at her, "But why? What's wrong with being happy all the time?"

"There's absolutely nothing wrong with that! They're just a bunch of sadistic bitches who want everyone to be depressed all the time".

I wiped my tears away, "You know what Temari? You're right. They wouldn't be my true friends if they were acting this way".

"So……what are you going to do about it?" she asked me.

"I'm just going to keep my distance from them. I mean can you believe that Ino had to make such a big deal out of it? Hinata didn't even bother saying anything………."

Temari placed her hand on my shoulder,"Just stay away from them a bit, they'll come around".

Just as I thought things were going to get better, it turns out, that…….

Daichi has a girlfriend.

Her name is Fujimoto Abi, the twin sister of Atsushi.

She fits in with the "popular" crowd. I was sitting at lunch and watched her whole group of friends smiling at the two of them.

Both Daichi and Abi were sitting in the center of everyone, someone said something and I couldn't hear what they said.

That's when I saw it.

Daichi kissed her……….

I tried not to let it get to me, but my heart was breaking…….

That night, I cried.

My tears just wouldn't stop. I didn't want to tell my mother this, because if I did, she would probably think I'm crazy.

Well don't you agree?

She'd probably think in her mind that it's all just a silly crush and I shouldn't be crying about something like this.

For the rest of the year, I tried to let it go…………..
