I Need to Scratch My Head; Chapter 3
By: DRag0ness
Sorry for taking so long to update, so I made this chapter a bit longer.
As the day loomed on, Sakura grew more and more miserable. People started to notice her big forehead and began cracking jokes about it.
"Yo, look at the big brained freak!"
"Look, its the moon!"
Their jokes barely made any sense. It just drove her mad because now to the looks of it, her dream of being popular was never gonna happen. She probably had to eat lunch in the bathroom like at all her other schools. She promised herself that she would switch schools by the end of this term. Thats what she always did when she didn't like a school.
"Sakura? Haruno Sakura? Is that you?"
She turned around to see a very familiar face. But it was covered in makeup and the body it was attached to was wearing all the latest trends.
"Ino?"
"So it is you big-forehead girl!" said Ino using Sakura's childhood nickname.
It was one of Sakura's childhood friends, Yamanaka Ino. Actually, her only friend ever.
"I knew it was you!" exclaimed Ino "Everyone was like, talking about a new girl with like, a freaky big forehead like yeah, I just like, had to like, find out because it might be you! This is like, so exciting like friggin hell! I just have to like, tell everyone!"
This was not the smart, caring and mommy's little girl that Sakura had known from before. This Ino was popular, snotty and was the biggest slut she had ever seen.
"Uh, yeah," she said, it was getting very uncomfortable since everyone was listening to their conversation. She also has to include loud in all the adjectives to describe the new Ino.
"OMFG! Wait till I introduce you to the gang!" Ino put a death grip on Sakura's arm and dragged her to go meet the "Gang."
As she was dragged along, Sakura noticed that no one cared about Ino dragging her around, they all acted as if it just some everyday thing. Wow, she thought, Ino must have a lot of power around here.
"Excuse me already!" shouted Ino down the hallway at everyone in the way, they all cleared the way.
"Shika-kun! Sasuke-kun! Everyone! I just found one of my old friends from like, a long, like time ago!" she yelled at a group of people.
It wasn't very big, but all the girls looked like Ino and the boys were wearing the latest boy trends too. They all turned around when Ino yelled at them.
"Yo," said all the boys in unison.
"Like, who is this?" said a black-haired girl "You shouldn't like bring little newbies to us all the time Ino. You are going to like ruin our image!"
"Relax Kin, its not like shes going stab us right here, you're so troublesome," said another boy with a head shaped like a pineapple (A/N:I hope everyone noticed that Shikamaru's head is shaped like pineapple! and Iruka's!).
The girl named Kin, who hated being talked back to, immediately shut up and flounced away angrily.
"Ok, good, you shut your mouth," Ino said triumphantly "now everyone, this is Sakura and Sakura, this is Kiba, Shino, Neji, Shikamaru, Sasuke," she stopped to squeal which annoyed Sasuke a lot.
"Kin, Hanabi, Temari, Kankuro, and last but not least Gaara!"
Sakura noticed that Hanabi and Neji had very similar eyes, both a pearly white colour. She looked to see where Gaara was and saw someone very familiar...
"You!" she shrieked.
"Hmm?" Gaara replied emerging from his thoughts.
"You were the one in the bathroom!"
Everyone looked at Gaara, confused.
"I was? Oh yeah, its you, pinky," he said not trying to offend her.
"You shouldn't say pinky if you value your life, Gaara," Ino muttered.
"Don't tell me what to do, I only listen to myself,"
"You and your nonsense."
"So how did you meet Gaara?" Kin asked out of the blue, she had a very sinister glint in her eye "Tell us all about it."
Sakura knew she was trapped, she didn't want to embarass Gaara because she terrified of the results if she did. But she was also feared what would happen if she didn't. Everyone was staring at her with intent eyes waiting to hear about what she had to say.
"Uh, I was in the girl's bathroom, getting ready to go back to class, and he walked in, he said he needed to scratch his head. "
Everyone hooted with laughter even though some already knew that he went to "scratch his head." Sakura nervously looked at everyone. Ino was the first to stop laughing.
"So everyone, lets go!"
"Lets go where?" Sakura whispered to her timidly.
"To class! You know how long we have been here?" she said in a tone that made Sakura feel very dumb.
"Ok..."
"Whatcha have next?" Ino said popping some gum into her mouth.
"Um..." she pulled out her schedule from her bag "I have physical education with a guy named Maito Gai."
"WE ALL DO! Isn't that such a great coincidence?" she shrieked, at the same time her gum flew out of her mouth and hit Kin squarely in the face.
"How dare you Bitch!" Kin breathed. She lunged at Ino and they started fighting. That just left Sakura to go on her own since everyone else had already left. But then she thought maybe she should stop Kin and Ino's catfight because it was getting pretty rough, but she shrugged off the feeling and left.
On her way to the Gym, she bumped into two other girls. One had the same eyes as Neji and Hanabi did, the other had her hair in two identical buns.
"I'm so sorry," said the one with two buns, "Hey, I don't know you, are you new?"
"Yeah, i'm new..." Sakura trailed off.
"Omg, I hoping for someone new, so, do you hang out with anyone right now?"
"Y-you shouldn't bother her so much Tenten, and she probably d-d-doesn't hangout with anyone yet." This came form the other girl.
"Oh come on Hinata, I have been waiting forever! We have to take those morons down!"
"What morons?" questioned Sakura curious to hear what they had to say.
"The popular kids of course! Let me explain everything to you, you have gym right?"
"Yeah."
"Good, so I can tell you everything on the way. Oh wait! Where are my manners! I almost forgot to introduce us, I'm Tenten and thats Hinata. But on with the story, the populars rule the school, most of the kids worship them and have been begging to hangout with them forever! Hinata and I used to be like that but now we know better."
"M-m-my younger sister got in right away," stammered Hinata.
"Well anyway" continued Tenten "They will make you do dirty work if they think you have a chance and treat you like trash. But I know that they will never let you in, they only let people in right away, not like what they say. It's best that you stay away from them."
"T-t-they are very cruel to you," whispered Hinata.
"There are a bunch of us who went through that treatment, we all have formed a secret club and we want to overthrow them."
"Who are the popular people?" asked Sakura nervously hoping that it wasn't Ino.
"I only have time to tell you some names, there Sasuke, Ino, Kiba and more," Sakura felt her stomach do flip flops.
She glad to end the conversation because they had just reached the gym. She changed into her new gym uniform. When she was getting ready to leave the changeroom, she felt a sharp tug on her arm and away she went! She literally flew out of the changeroom. She looked up to see Ino dragging her.
"How did you get here and change so quickly?" she asked breathlessly when she was sure her feet was on the ground.
"I just got here, and i wear my clothes under," she replied quickly and pulled her to a corner.
"So what did that loser tell you?" she whispered quietly.
"What loser?" she whispered back.
"The girl with the two dirtballs on her head and Hanabi's emo older sister of course!" Kin exclaimed suddenly entering the conversation.
"Y-your mean," stuttered Sakura
"We're not mean, we just wanna know," said Ino.
"What if I don't want to tell you?"
"Then we can't let you hang with us." Kin replied immediately.
Such a hard decision. Sakura didn't know what she wanted more, popularity, or other people's trust.
"Uh, all she did what say hi and she said she wanted to meet all the new students this year," she lied, she hoped that they would believe her.
"GOOD AFTERNOON ALL MY YOUTHFUL STUDENTS!" shouted a voice.
Suddenly, a small eplosion rocketed the gym and a very dorky looking man in tight green spandex and a bowl cut emerged from the smoke.
"I am your new gym teacher this year, the youthfullest Maito Gai!" He flashed everyone a big smile and a thumbs up. Then, his teeth twinkled. Then he posed his good guy pose.
Everyone stared at his unusual entrance, they had never seen anything like it. Maito Gai was suppose to be a new teacher this year.
"Gai-sensei! Do you still remember me!" shouted another boy from another part of the room. He also wore the weird green spandex and looked identical to the teacher.
"Rock Lee! Is that you!"
"Hai! Gai-sensei!"
"Lee!"
"Gai-sensei!"
Suddenly, out of no where, there was a sunset.
"Lee!"
"Gai-sensei!"
Euw, thought Sakura.
15 minutes later...
"Lee!"
"Gai-sensei!"
Both of them were in tears right now.
"One hundred laps around the gym my youthful students!" said Gai suddenly snapping out of the trance.
Everyone grumbled, they were secretly hoping that they would go on so that they wouldn't have to have gym. But they ran anyway. When Gai wasn't looking they would walk. When he finally told them to stop, everyone was exhausted.
"Ok! Now that I see you are all ready to play some football!"
The class groaned, all except for the other kid that was named Lee.
"I'm already to go Gai-sensei!" he said.
"Lets go!"
After gym class, everyone looked like a bunch of ragamuffins. They were all sweaty, dirty and everyone was complaining.
"My hair is like, utterly ruined!" cried Ino, acting as if it was the end of the world, "Ugh!" When she tried to put her hair back in place.
"Oh yeah? My make-up is even worse!" shot back Hanabi arrogantly, "It like melted off my face!Euw!" she said wiping off clumps of mascara and lipstick mixed together.
"Stop fighting you two," retorted Temari "Why can't you all be like me and not wear any makeup at all? You could be like the french people, they love to look natural, just like me." She admired herself in one of the change room mirrors.
For the whole time, Kin had been watching her with intent eyes, it scared Sakura to think of what she was planning. She had kept quiet for the whole gym class. Sakura changed quickly and left in a hurry when the bell rang for the next period.
