Chapter Four
Naruto's POV
Ms. Anko, the chorus teacher walked into the first music rehearsal. Her dyed purple hair was pulled up into a messy bun, and her eyes were scanning the cast back and forth. Her smile was crooked and white. She pulled out a folded sheets of paper from her brown coat.
"Is everyone here?" her voice was a bit scratchy. "Tony? Jets? Maria? Good, that's all we need for this." She went over to her old apartment style piano. "First, warm ups." She played a few notes on the Piano, and we got our voices all warmed up.
"Let's start with the Jets song."
Kiba and the "Jets" sang their song for the two minute period the song took. It took all my power not to stare at Sakura. Her hair was up in a ponytail, she was wearing very tight clothing, her teeth were holding her lower lip in concentration, and her jade eyes focused on the group singing. I knew she couldn't catch me staring, if she did she might figure it out. She might tell her friends how crazy I was becoming, and laugh.
I couldn't handle that.
The song ended and Ms. Anko told me I was going to sing my two songs. First was Something's Coming. As Ms. Anko played the intro on the piano, Sakura walked out of the room. I watched her leave from the corner of my eyes, but begin to sing when it was my time, forgetting all about her.
Sakura's POV
I had to pee really badly during rehearsal. I walked out of the chorus room s discreetly as possible. I into the hall and walked over to the nearest bathroom. I went into the stall with the hot list to see if it had any updates.
Sasuke. One girl had written in gray sharpie
Sasuke is sooo hot.
Fuck anyone who doesn't think Sasuke isn't fucking HOT.
I luv Sasuke Uchia.
Everyone seemed to have the same opinion. I wonder what would happen if I put Naruto on the list… I thought. Woah, wait. No, bad Sakura. You're one of those girls. You like Sasuke. I shook off my thoughts of Naruto and thought of Sasuke.
I washed my hands, and then let my fingers run in the cold water for a bit. It felt good, and I got lost in the feel. Then I remembered I had to go back to rehearsal. As I walked down the hall, I heard what must have been Naruto's voice coming down the hall. It was amazing. His voice was soft and sweet. But at the same time it had this power. I mean, I wasn't even at the chorus room and I could hear it.
I walked in quietly as possible. Naruto sung out the last note.
"Now," Ms. Anko said. "You are gonna do the song Maria. First we listen to the song on the tape, and then you sing."
The song played. It was beautiful song. I imagined someone being so in love with me, just after a few minutes. I smiled contently.
When the tape ended Ms. Anko went over to the piano. She played the introduction.
"The most beautiful sound I've ever heard," Naruto sang. "Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria. All the beautiful sounds of the world, in a single word. Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria!" Naruto's voice went from soft to bold. "I've just met a girl named Maria! And suddenly, that name, will never be the same to me!"
Naruto was singing so well. "Maria! I've just kissed a girl named Maria, and suddenly I've found how wonderful a sound can be! Maria! Say it loud and there's music playing,
Say it soft and it's almost like praying. Maria, I'll never stop saying Maria! The most beautiful sound I ever heard; Maria."
The song ended. The other kids clapped respectfully. All I could do was sit there. He had sung so well. I didn't want him to stop, it was just too beautiful. Maybe I should record him next time, I thought.
"Sakura!" Ms. Anko's voice got me out of my trance. "Would you care to sing the song, or are you going to space out the rest of rehearsal?"
"Huh? Oh, uh, no, sorry." I stammered.
I stood up, and walked to the piano as gracefully as I could. I stood next to Naruto, watching what must have been him preparing to sing. He shook his arms out, and touched his toes while Ms. Anko played an introduction on the piano.
"Only you," I sang to the music. "You're the only thing I'll see, forever. In my eyes, in my words, and in everything I do, nothing else but you, ever." I looked over at Naruto
He had a goofy looking grin as he sang, "And there's nothing for me but Maria. Every sight that I see is Maria."
"Tony, Tony." I sang in response.
"Always you you're every thought I'll ever know, anywhere I go, you'll be!"
I sang back "All the world is only you and me!"
The song went on. It was a very pretty song, and the way Naruto did it made me want to give him a hug. He was so adorable seeing such sweet lyrics. It was funny to think the same person had ruined my shirt a few weeks earlier.
The song ended with a final few chords from Ms. Anko. Naruto looked over at me. "Good job," he mouthed. I managed a smile at Naruto, and he returned a goofy one. "You too." I mouthed back.
The rehearsal was over before I knew it. Everyone broke of in there own groups. Naruto and Kiba, various jets and other jets, and then me and…my cell phone. I was texting Ino at that moment. She was talking about the party I was going to that night.
ill pick u up in a sec k. then my house. well get ready. were gonna look HAWT, Ino text read.
cool. cant wait, I responded.
I looked up from my phone. I suddenly felt very awkward. It was made very clear I didn't fit in with the other kids. I went ahead of the other slow moving groups. I went outside to wait for Ino.
I didn't hear Naruto following me.
"Hey, Sakura," He called.
I jumped in surprise. "Oh, hi Naruto."
"Hey, you were pretty great today," He said sitting next to me.
"Yeah you too," I said.
"How much have you gotten memorized so far?" He asked, obviously trying to make conversation.
"Nothing. I like, can't even say a word with out the script."
Naruto laughed, "Good. Damn Shikamaru. He's like, a super genius, ya know? He's gotten almost all his lines memorized. He always gets his lines down quickly."
"Well that's good," I said. It was weird how friendly he was being.
"Yeah," Naruto scratched head. "But he can be a real ass about it sometimes."
I giggled slightly. I looked over and saw a large van with Ino and her mom in it.
"There's my ride," I stated as I got up.
"Oh," Naruto sounded disappointed. "Ok. That's cool. See ya later."
"You too," I waved. "Bye."
I got in the car. Ino smiled at me and started talking about the party. I sighed to myself and re-entered my world. A world that had no theatre, no musicals, and no Naruto.
A/N: Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I have been major busy all year. But know, it's summer, and I have time to do this sort of thing. Expect a lot of updates in July. I'll have LOTS of free time then.
