Previously in Crimson Flower…
"If it wasn't for her looks I would've asked her to be my girl." Naruto said but dismissed it.
Chapter 3- Forehead girl and Ino pig
"Class, we have a new student." The teacher said motioning sakura to enter.
Whispers and chattering resumed like the other classes.
"Her name is Sakura Haruno, please make her feel welcome." The teacher said and the chatter grew louder. "You will sit beside Ino. Ino please raise your hand so she could see you!" sakura was surprised by the name she just heard.
'Ino-pig?'
A beautiful girl raised her hand. Her long blonde hair was tied back in a pony tail and she had her bangs sticking out. Her beautiful ice blue eyes were gleaming with happiness.
Sakura practically ran to her seat and once the lesson started she embraced Ino who returned it fiercely.
"Forehead girl!"
"Ino-pig!" they greeted and smiled at each other before giggling.
"You know her?" said a girl sitting behind them. She was a brunette, her hair tied up in two buns and her hazel eyes looked at her kindly,
"Nice to meet you, I'm tenten." She said stretching out her hand.
"Sakura." The rosette said taking her hand.
"This is hinata." Tenten introduce to the girl sitting beside her who gave a shy smile.
Her midnight blue hair was just above her shoulders and she had the same pearl eyes neiji had.
"By any chance are you and neiji related?" sakura asked and hinata nodded telling her that neiji was her cousin.
"So I heard you were sitting beside the Shinobi?" Ino asked with an evil glint.
"Um…yeah?"
"Tell me all about it! What was sasuke like?" she asked and barraged sakura with questions.
"She has a huge crush on sasuke." Tenten informed her,
"I can tell."
"And he's so cool and collected unlike the lazy ass shika!" Ino said and sakura raised a brow.
'Shika?'
"Forehead girl, take of your glasses!" Ino whined as sakura shook her head again.
"Oh, come on! The glasses hide your eyes! Please just a small peak!" tenten begged but sakura again shook her head.
Suddenly she felt a pair of hands yanking her glasses out and letting the whole world see her eyes.
She looked around to see hinata with guilty black glasses in her hands.
"Hinata, how could you!! I thought you were the innocent one?!" sakura shouted trying to take back her glasses.
"But your eyes are beautiful sakura! They look like emerald!" hinata reasoned but sakura ignored her continuing her attempt to take her glasses back.
When she finally got her glasses back she put it on ignoring the begging faces of her friends.
Luckily for her, no one was there to see it but what she didn't know was a pair of onyx eyes had caught the whole scene.
'So it was her…'
After having lunch with her friends she made her way to English class where she seated herself on the chair at one corner of the room beside the window. Chatter and whispers were heard when she seated herself but she ignored it.
She continued to stare out the window when she heard someone cough behind her.
"Ahem." Said a voice and she met onyx eyes.
"Oh, sasuke!" she said smiling at him.
"You're in my seat." He said coldly and sakura apologized and was about to leave when a hand grabbed her wrist and pulled her back down.
She looked at the raven haired boy confused but he said nothing and took his seat beside her.
The murderous glares directed at her increased ten fold and sakura shifted in her seat uncomfortably.
Luckily for her the teacher came in soon and immediately started the lesson.
Sakura was busying herself copying notes when she realizes that sasuke had passed her a piece of paper. She unfolded it and read sasuke's messy hand writing.
You're the girl in the party
Sakura smiled and wrote her reply on the paper before handing it back to sasuke.
I thought you'd forget.
A reply came back.
You look much better without your glasses.
An almost invincible blush appeared at sakura's cheek as she scribbled a reply.
You have to deal with the glasses then.t
He read it and smirked. She was one of the few people who actually stood up to him though it wasn't serious. Most girls would agree with everything sasuke said.
But those glasses are ugly. They hide you eyes. Can't you get other glasses?
Sakura scribbled something and passed it back to him
My previous glasses are broken and are being fixed. I'm getting it back later after school.
Sasuke smirked and wrote something before passing it back.
I can't wait to see you tomorrow.
Sakura smiled but the teacher caught them. "Sakura, would you like to share those with us." The teacher said referring to the notes which was being passed between her and sasuke.
But as quickly as she turned sakura hid the notes in the pages of her notebook.
"My notes?" she asked innocently.
The teacher looked at her table and spying nothing, shrugged before turning back to the board.
From the corner of her eye, sakura saw sasuke smirking at her whom she returned with a smirk of her own.
Sakura pressed the elevator's buttons to the 23rd floor of the La Plaza Hotel, one of the best hotels in California.
She made her way to the room 2329 and opened the door with her messenger bag on her shoulder and a small shopping bag on her arm.
She was greeted by a middle aged man with snowy white hair and moustache. His eyes were too small to be seen but he smiled at her warmly. "Welcome home Sakura-sama." He said opening the door to her suite room.
The man is Watari, her personal butler whom she sees as a father figure. He was very kind to her and had taken care for her ever since she was little after her parent's death. She had made a living working with a very high salary and was able to afford the flat which watari single handedly taken care of. She had offered to hire a maid but watari insisted otherwise so she could save her money and so he could do the cleaning to busy himself.
Her flat includes a living room, a small kitchen, a dining area and two bedrooms one for herself and the other for her butler. The bathrooms were in the rooms.
It was a pleasant and cozy place, the walls were painted with a light cream color and the floor was covered with a majestic yellow carpet.
The living room, dining area and living rooms were all connected with only a wall to separate the kitchen with the living room.
The kitchen was more like a mini bar with a stove, oven, microwave, cabinet and a refrigerator.
A round glass table and few chairs made up the dining area.
The living room has a Plasma TV, two soft couches and a small table in the center.
On one corner of the room there was a small pillar like stand and sitting on it was a glass vase adorned with beautiful flowers of different color handpicked and arranged by sakura herself.
Sakura smiled and the second she took a step into her home she was run over by a white fur ball licking her face happily.
"Alright, snow-kun! Enough!" she shouted laughing happily as the white dog dispatched itself from her.
It was a beautiful breed, the Japanese Spitz given to her as a present by a very pleased client. Snow was a very energetic boy who loved the attention his mistress has given him.
Sakura patted him and ruffled his fur before entering and disappearing to a mahogany door.
Her room was painted with a light shade of green and blue. Her white laptop sat on top of her mahogany study table along with some books and other junk.
On one corner of her room was a small neat bed which apparently has not been messed up by snow for he hasn't slept in it for a while.
She dumped her messenger bag on her pale blue bed which was covered by a navy blue blanket. Setting her other bag, she took out a small orange box where her new glasses were. She smiled, taking of her ugly glasses and dumping it in the dustbin while she set the new glasses on her table.
She does not need her glasses, her eyes were perfectly fine but she had to play the part of a weak helpless nerd.
She ran her fingers through her pink hair before deciding she should go for a shower. She took an oversized T-shirt and a comfortable pair of short shorts which is to be her pajamas before heading in the bathroom. She slipped of her clothes and washed herself in the warm water. After cleaning herself, she dried herself and brushed her teeth before putting on her pajamas and left the bathroom.
Deciding to turn in early tonight, she tucked herself under the covers. Snow leaped on her bed and laid his head on the pillow beside her head as she snuggled into his fur. "Oyamisu." She whispered before falling into the world of dreams.
