What up! I'm updating from my cousin's computer again and well I decided if I uploaded everything then sent it to my computer it would not be much of a problem. Anyway, as you can see... I switched up the summary and I just wanted to point that out so no one could be confused. Sigh. It has been a while since I thought about this story. I can honestly say I miss this story. Well, this is going to be the next story that I'm going to finish. After this I have to attack another story. My goal is to complete my stories because it is starting to become a hassle for people wanting different stories done.
So from now on, I'll just randomly choose one. Hehe! Am I evil? Yes? Good! This guy used the stupidest pick up line on me ever the other day! I was so glad that two days before it happened I read this shut down thingy on someone's profile. I forgot who though, so I can't thank you. Anyway, so he said, "Where have you been all my life, sexy?"
I said, "Hiding from your UGLAY ASS!"
It was so fucking hilarious!!
What other pickup lines and shutdowns do you know cause.... I wanna use them. ;)
Beta: No one! So I greatly apologize for all the mistakes and... stuff.
Note: As you can see, I have switched up the summary. So don't mind the first chapter because..... Yeah.
Disclaimer: Don't own Naruto, nor this plot. Because... I got this from a book hunny.
You know how sometimes they say honesty is the best policy? Well, I am seriously starting to believe in that. It was Saturday morning and I was struggling to place on my bathing suit since I had to meet this Gaara guy today. From what Ino said, he was a total knock out. Every single girl wanted to be with him. And since Ino said that she would go for him if she wasn't with Shika, that really meant he was hot. With all the trouble I'm in- I blame my big mouth.
First of all, Sasuke Uchiha was not my boyfriend. Is that clear? Plus he seems like a total dick. But he did play the drums which was so hot. I always had a thing for musicians. Although, Sasuke did have a girlfriend. A chick who's in the same band. Red head and annoying looking. Karin was athletic and you could tell by simply staring at her. She had that fierce gaze that people had when they were playing tennis. But how could I be so sure? I just saw her play the keyboard once.
Whatever. I shook my hair as my pink hair flapped. I had to stop thinking about that. Just enjoy the moment, I told myself. My green, yellow, and navy bathing suit fit me well. It was a bikini that had to be tied at the back. A little circle was placed at the valley of my breast giving a little bit of more view. Once I smiled I placed on a jean mini skirt and a button up white shirt. For a moment, I debated whether or not to put on some make up. Then decided against it because well, it is just going to wash off in the pool isn't? Plus, Ino said I looked better with just a tint of lip gloss.
A large honking came from outside and I hastily grabbed my black tote and grabbed my favorite pair of white flip flops and wore them. As soon as I got into that car with my best friends they were squealing with excitement as the engine started Ino took a sip of her diet pepsi she always kept with her, "Sak, you don't mind that I invited a friend of Shikamaru's right?"
I stiffened as I tried to calmly smile, "Really? Who?"
"Naruto or something like that." This was not good.
"Sure, I don't really care. As long as there's food."
"You fatass!" Tenten said loudly laughing. We smiled at each other and I enjoyed the moment of us actually being true friends.
Once we made it to Ino's house there were three cars parked in front of her driveway. When we jumped out of the car we all made our way to the backyard where the pool was located. My heart thumped as I spotted a very handsome red headed male laughing wildly with Naruto and Shikamaru. Ino wasted no time to pounce on her boyfriend and give him a greeting kiss she returned. It was strange how they only known each other for four days, but that's Ino for you.
"Sakura-chan?!" Naruto wailed in surprised. I gave a polite smile to him and waved, hoping that Naruto wouldn't come over and ask me questions. Sadly, you never get what you ask for because Naruto came running towards her and Hinata who stood shyly, "What are you doing here Sakura-chan?"
My fake laugh I gave was stressed and it was obviously fake but Naruto was way to dense to notice it, "Ino and I have been friends since forever and she invited me and she would not let me say no. So here I am! This is Hinata Hyuuga. Hinata, this is Naruto Uzamaki."
The blonde boy grinned brightly at her and stuck his hand out which she shyly took, "It's nice to meet you! You are awfully cute! Like ramen on a beautiful day!" Hinata smiled to him and then there was a moment of silence. I took that as my cue to leave and when I voiced my thoughts Naruto simply said, "Okay. I'll see you later."
I made my way towards Tenten and Ino who were chatting happily with the other two people. Shikamaru greeted her with a nod and offered her a hamburger, "No thanks, I'm not really in the mood for burgers. Ino, do you have any fruits so I could whip us some smoothies?"
"Mhm. You know where it is right?"
"Yep." As I stepped to go back inside the house Ino stopped me, "Yes?"
"This is Gaara Sabaku. He's on the football and lacrosse team..." she said excitedly. So happily that I knew if it was the only two of us at that second she would be squealing on the top of her lungs, "Gaara, this is Sakura Haruno. She plays the acoustic and electric guitar. But she has a boyfriend who refuses to take her to prom." Ino rolled her eyes as I blushed.
Gaara smiled at me as I returned it, "You have a boyfriend?"
"Yep. But he's in a band so it really is unfortunate."
Shikamaru then butted in, "You have a boyfriend, Sakura? I did not know that."
"Whoever this guy is, he really is lucky. You are absolutely beautiful, Sakura." he complimented as I laughed inwardly. Of course he would suddenly become interested, I was taken. Guys always seem to go for the taken ones. It seems... 'Hot' to them, "Would you like me to accompany you to help you make those smoothies?"
"It's all right. I have it covered. Although, I would like some girl talk with Ino.."
"Maybe later, Sakura. Talk to Tenten for the moment." she said dreamily staring into Shikamaru's eyes. I rolled my eyes and momentarily glared at her before I swiftly turned to Tenten who was sunbathing alone on Ino's favorite pool chair. My feet took me towards her and when I reached my destination I laid down on the chair right next to Tenten who pulled down her black Ray Bans to reveal her chocolate orbs, "Ino is going way to far with this blind date thing."
"Well, you do need a date for prom. She's kind of doing the right thing. I can't wait to meet your boyfriend... that way I could kick his ass for not taking you." Tenten said slightly yawning as I turned my head to face her, "I mean. What kind of boyfriend does that? What a dick."
"Hey! Why in the world are you harassing my boyfriend if you don't even have a date for the prom yet?" I said angrily. My only chance to get through this mess is to keep on acting. And from what my friends told me, I am a very awesome actor. I just need to make sure I could fool the people I'm closest too. That also includes myself.
"Who says I don't?" she winked then pulled her shades back on then she nodded toward where Gaara was standing, "Hm. Seems like Sabaku is going to come over and have a chat with you. Should you leave for a while? I mean, I would leave myself but I got here first and I need to finish off tanning."
"No way. I am so not going anywhere." I said briefly before Gaara smirked at us then lifted my legs, took a seat, then placed my legs upon his lap, "Hey there, Gaara." my voice said. I made sure it was laced with a flirtatious tone. His hands trailed along my leg as I tried to keep my cool. It was harder then I thought because when he spoke, it sent shivers down my spine.
"Ino told me that you needed a date for prom." He said lowly. That voice. It was so much like Sasuke's except he wasn't bitchy with a stick up his ass, "Would you like me to escort you?" I realized his game and I smirked. Too could play that flirting game and I was sure I was a tad bit better. Because when he asked he wiggled his eyebrows in a suggestive manner. I leaned up so that our faces were inches away from one another.
"Maybe. I'll think about it. I do have a boyfriend, ya know." I winked at him and he smirked.
He playfully pouted, "Why? Your boyfriend doesn't know that you're on a date with me?" His calloused hands rubbed up and down my thighs. The only sad part of it all was that I was thinking of Sasuke, "I don't really blame him. I'm a bad influence."
"We're on a date?" I asked innocently. A chuckle came from Gaara as I smiled at that sound. It was a pleasant sound because it held joy within it. Gaara then took my hand within his.
"What about on Thursday? I have a lacrosse game and I most definitely want you to be there. You could bring your friends if you like. The more the merrier. Afterward we could ditch your friends and catch a movie. Does that sound good or is boyfriend the overprotective type of guy?" I pretended to think about it. I placed my index finer on my chin as I looked up toward the cloudless skies.
"How about you give me your number and I'll let you know?" Hopefully Tsunade wouldn't be up on my ass that day. I mean, I do deserve a break. Maybe I should bother my parents about it when I get home. They have been saying that I do not get out a lot. That - at the moment - is an easy fix. But by the end of this, I'll be better off sleeping all day and night. Joy. That day, we exchanged numbers. I was so glad that Naruto or Shikamaru mention Sasuke because they were way to preoccupied with the girls they obviously liked.
When I arrived home I was more then glad to find my parents sitting at the dinner table, "Hey mother. Father."
"Dear, how was your day?" my mother asked.
"Great. Did anyone call for me?" I said filling up a cup of Dr. Pepper. Yum.
My father then spoke up and took a bite of his medium rare steak, "Yeah. This boy he said his name was Sasuke Uchiha. Something about you being unexceptionally disgraceful towards Tsunade. He also mention you ditched her class once again." I was going to kill him. The next time I see him. I swear! He just ruined my chances on seeing Gaara again, "Tsunade is a very talented person! You should be thankful that she took you in as her student! We had to pay so much money!"
"But Father!"
He raised his hand to silence me, "But Sasuke also mention that he was thankful that you did it because he wouldn't have heard you play the guitar with his band. Now, is this true?"
"Yes. But you see... their guitar player was late and I was just being kind because I felt sorry for them! Their time was being wasted and I simply couldn't let that pass! You should understand father."
Oddly enough he smiled warmly at me, "Then I talked to Tsunade. She said she heard you playing from down the hallway and she said that she has never saw you with much joy. Tsunade said that when she saw you playing with her sons that you were absolutely amazing. So we made a deal, from now on... you will be practicing with Sasuke and his band." Hooray! That means that Tsunade will be out of my hair! This is so awesome, "But don't get to excited because Tsunade will be unexpectedly popping in here and there."
There goes my chance, "I understand." I said.
My mother then placed a supportive hand on my shoulder as I slumped forward, "This is your last chance, Sakura. If you ruin this you will be grounded and you won't be able to attend any more music classes. That also means the volleyball team. You will also be polite to Tsunade-san. Do you understand me?" I simply nodded and then the phone rang.
My mother sent me to pick it up. Sighing, I picked up the phone from the receiver and walked toward my bedroom, "Hello?"
"Sakura? It's Sasuke." He sounded mad and I feared for the worst.
"Sasuke? What's wrong?" I asked innocently.
"What's wrong?! I had to fucking kick my own girlfriend off of the band just because my mom told me to! What the fuck is wrong with you?! Couldn't you just listen to Tsunade like you're supposed to? You are such a fucking child. You're lucky I have more respect toward Tsunade then you do because if I didn't you would be half dead by now." I flinched whenever he cussed. Sasuke seemed like the person who would keep their cool no matter the situation. Eh, you should never judge a book by its cover I guess.
"Calm down. I'm sorry, all right? It isn't my fault!" I shot back trying to defend myself.
"This isn't your fault? For fucks sake! Let's be serious!"
"Shut up already!" he was clearly shocked of my outburst because there was silence. I wrinkled by nose and pinched my bridge. I was getting angrier then I already was. This can not be good for my health. I need some more Dr. Pepper, "Look. Clearly this isn't going to work out. You want your girlfriend in your band and I do not want to be near you. So I'll just let my parents know that I want nothing more then to quit my guitar lessons. That way we both win."
"Don't even try. It won't work. From now on, I'm in charge of you from now on. That means I'm your boss and I'm in charge. That also means you will do as I tell you. Got it?"
I rolled my eyes, "Yes sir. Question, do you and your band have practice this Thursday?"
"Yeah. Starts at one in the afternoon ends at six. Why?"
It took a moment for me to take that in. The freaking play five hours straight. Who the hell does that?! They really must be dedicated on what they do. I flashed back to reality when Sasuke called my name, "May it be possible if I skip practice that day? I have something important I have to go to... so... yeah.."
"You're already bailing out!?"
"It isn't my fault. Jeez. Look, if I can't miss it then can I at least miss like three hours of it? Five hours seems awfully long." I complained.
"No. You won't miss out. Practice starts tomorrow at the practice room.. be there around three o'clock. It'll end around four because I have to take Karin out since I had to kick her out of our band." he growled.
"Oh. So I can't miss out of practice but you could cut it short because you have a girlfriend? The hell?" I said hoping that he'll really get annoyed of me then kick me out. That way, he could be the blame and I could be the innocent victim. Sounds good to me.
"You're annoying." he stated then hung up. I sighed and flopped back on my bed. How could things start off so great then end on a bad term. I glanced at the clock and it was nearing nine. Tomorrow I had practice with a band I didn't even know the name of. This is so not going to be the Sunday that I wanted. Might as well make the best of it. Then, I cursed myself. I couldn't attend Gaara's game.
I shoved my in a pillow and screamed frustratingly. This was my fault. I seriously needed a life. Was it possible to somehow invent a time mission within two hours so that I could just.. reverse everything that I did? That would make this so much easier. Suddenly, I sat up and a plan slowly formed in my head. I looked at my pro and cons. Sasuke was pissed at me, my parents were forcing me to play in a band, Tsunade was on my back and I had no friends to talk this through with. Sadly, I think I might loose some friends during this.
Now. My pros.... I met Gaara. I get to play with Sasuke for a while and hopefully I'll get on his good side. Uhm. What else was there? Mainly this revolved around Sasuke. And my love life. The cons out weighed the pros by a long shot. When I was about to throw another scream in my pillow my mother came knocking on my door, "Come in.." I groaned.
She smiled motherly at me and held out a cup of hot chocolate whip cream on top with sprinkles of cinnamon on top. I took it gladly and stared at the white clouds that were sitting on top, "Thanks mom."
"Don't mention it, sweetheart." She placed a hand on my upper back causing me to stare into her loving emerald eyes, "Now. Tell me what's bothering you so much."
"Nothing really. I just don't want to practice with Sasuke and the rest of them. I have a date on Thursday.... and Sasuke won't excuse me from practice that day. They play five hours straight! It's completely insane!"
"Their really dedicated. Honestly, I'm just surprised they were willing to help you. Sasuke seems very sweet. You should trust him a little bit more. I could tell that wasn't the only thing bothering you. What else is on your mind? Just because I'm your mother that does not mean I haven't been put through the same situation as you, darling."
That was when I knew that sometimes you really could trust your mother with anything if you just open up bit by bit. So I told her everything. Well, except the part where Sasuke was my boyfriend. Instead, I told her how I thought Sasuke was adorable and how I was stuck in between two guys. How one only wanted me for my good looks and how the other didn't really like me at all. It was then when she gave the most helpful advice ever.
"Love doesn't occur every day. You should really follow your heart. Seems that one path leads to pure happiness while the other leads to heartbreak. I know that you're going to make the right choice."
I glanced at her helplessly, "How could you be so sure, mom?" How could she know these things when I wasn't even sure of what I was going to do?
She laughed lightly and kissed my forehead, "You're my daughter." My mother had her awesome moments sometimes, "That should be enough. I already have a feeling on what you're going to do. Cause I've been put in the same situation with your father, and look at me now. I'm living a dream with a beautiful daughter and a husband."
"Mother, what if I make the wrong choice?"
"You won't." She said then stood to make her way to the doorway, "Get some rest. Tomorrow you have practice with Sasuke." My mother laughed and softly shut the door and I simply fell back, looking up at my ceiling just thinking at the possible outcomes.
