A/N: Thank you guys so much for reading my story! It makes me happy to see that. I also can understand the criticisms as well, I am just doing what I know based on high school experiences that I'm currently living and the ones I always see portrayed in the media.
Everything is from the Naruto series, I will not be adding any of the characters for Boruto since I stopped reading Naruto once it ended.
Anyway, I added a bit more towards the end since I had muse, to introduce that the boy Sakura did have a blind date was in fact Naruto!
This is a teaser for chapter 2! I hope if my schedule with school isn't busy to get this published by a week at the most!
The title for Chapter 2 is called Into the Night by The Electric Sons! I hope you all enjoy this mini teaser! :)
Three years. It had been three years since Sakura dropped out of Konoha Junior High and went into home schooling. Three years since she decided to befriend Karin who helped her with a routine for her to lose all the weight. Sakura managed to convince her grandparents again to enroll her in Konoha High for her final year of school. The young girl was now eighteen years old. Glancing at the mirror, she smiled at herself because she was completely changed.
The overweight girl who weighed a little over two-hundred and fifty pounds was now one-hundred and seven pounds. Karin managed to convince her to cut her hair so it was no longer long but short and she had also given her contacts. Sakura enjoying the look of the contacts no longer wore her glasses. Part of her spent more time with Karin as they elaborated their scheme as to take over the school from Ino and Tenten than she did with Hinata. However, Sakura and Hinata always wrote to each other.
Apparently, the latest rumor was that Sakura disappeared because she had died due to her weight. Not like Sakura cared, even though she knew the moment some of the students were to catch on about her identity that she would probably become a laughing stock once again. Keeping her posture cool, calm, and collected, Sakura managed to check her computer for any messages.
The stranger she chatted with on the internet is something she still managed to keep up with, although there would be weeks without a message, Sakura managed to always make sure to immediately respond. It was the week before school and Sakura saw that they had a student night for all the students to get reacquainted with their friends, locate their classes, and meet their instructors.
Karin managed to send Sakura a text, informing her that she should go so that their plan could start. Sakura got herself dressed and smiled as she headed downstairs.
"Sakura, you look very beautiful," complimented her grandmother as she was watching her stories.
"Thank you. I'm going to go out and go to the student night the school is hosting," she mentioned as she fixed her hair a bit.
"Have fun dear! Tell me all about it."
"Will do!"
Sakura managed to head outside and made her way towards Konoha High. This will be her first time ever on a high school campus so Sakura didn't know what to expect. As she continued her walk, she smiled as she saw a familiar face running to embrace her in a hug.
"Sa-Sakura! You look so amazing!" exclaimed Hinata, smiling as she hugged her best friend tightly.
Hugging back, Sakura smiled, "Hinata, it's so nice to see you. I'm sorry if I wasn't as productive. I just…had to take a vacation sort of."
Hinata nodded. She knew that the event of getting rejected by Sasuke sent Sakura into a spiraling depression. Even when Hinata tried inviting her over, Sakura would always reject. It never bothered the girl because she knew to be a good friend that she had to just be there for Sakura even if it was at a distance.
Arriving at the high school, Sakura stared at the campus in awe. She was surprised at how beautiful it was. They obviously had made some revisions and updates but she was surprised. Staring for a bit, she realized someone accidentally bumped into her.
"Hey! Watch where you're going you troubleso – Sakura!" Shikamaru exclaimed greeting his old friend. He could easily recognize her.
Sakura smiled as she greeted her old friend. "So, anything I should know about anyone?"
"Well…Lee and Sasuke are the stars of the school carrying most of the teams. Shino runs his own Photography Club…not that I would go. Chōji has decided to enroll in the culinary program they have here because he aspires to be a chef and there is an obnoxious son of a bitch that you should avoid. His ass is troublesome and he likes to buttheads with Sasuke a lot."
Sakura nodded, making sure to take mental notes. "May I ask who should I be avoiding?" she tilted in confusion since Shikamaru hadn't given her a name.
"Oh, come on Shika, he isn't that bad." Hinata defended as she walked alongside Sakura.
"You only say that because you haven't dealt with Naruto in PE. Trust me, once you deal with him a bit more, you would understand what I'm talked about. Besides, I am glad to get early release both semesters. I rather start my year off easy."
Sakura laughed, 'Some things never change,' she thought. Hearing an argument, she found herself turning towards the direction of Sasuke and a blonde boy who was ready to beat down.
'That must be Naruto…' she thought.
"Bastard!" Sasuke muttered glaring at Naruto.
"Oh please, as if you have any chance of defending your title. I'm the one coming for it this year asshole!" Naruto growled. Naruto found a rival in Sasuke, ever since he started school in Konoha, there was something about the boy he didn't like. His whole holier than thou attitude always rubbed him the wrong way. By taking something that Sasuke wanted most, Naruto figured that would be the best way to deal with someone as dreadful as him.
"Sasuke he's not even worth it!" Tenten said glaring at Naruto. Naruto was popular because of his money and his looks, but Tenten saw through his hold façade. She felt like that Naruto was hiding something from the rest of them.
Ino nodded, "Sasuke, how about we just go and hangout at my place?"
Sasuke sighed, "Fine, as long as I'm away from this idiot."
Naruto glared as Sasuke walked away.
Sasuke as he walked glanced at Sakura, staring at her deeply for a moment in thought wondering where had he seen her before.
Ino glanced in his direction as well as Tenten and noticed Sakura.
"Wow…she's beautiful. Maybe the new girl can sit with us, after all we need to save her reputation."
Sakura could feel herself making a face as Ino and Tenten approached her.
"Hey, um…have we met somewhere before?" asked Tenten wondering why she looked so familiar.
'Shit, my cover has already been blown,' Sakura thought as she tried to come up with a lie to get the two girls off her.
A/N: Welp that's the teaser for chapter 2. There will be more Naruto and Sakura interaction of course and quite a few new characters introduced as well.
Will Sakura recognize Naruto? We shall see...I mean it's been three years after all.
I hope this can hold you guys off for at least a week! :)
