Be forewarned this chapter is a little confusing just hang with it. You will understand it better in later chapters. Not as long as the first chapter but hang with me there is definitely more to come.
Chapter 2
Realizations
Being student class president comes with a plethora of obligations one of those many is Project Graduation. It's an after party of sorts for the graduating class. My job as president and head of the project graduation committee is to come up with the funds, find entertainment, and throw the party. Normally it is held at the high school, but because I have the coolest mom in the world, excluding the fact she made me wear heels, this year Project Graduation is being held at Jiraiya's the hottest Club in Konoha. Now a lot of people have been pestering me about how I got my mom who runs that particular club to convince the owner Jiraiya to close down for an entire night to allow a bunch of newly high school graduates into his bar, the answer is simple. He's my dad. The only people who know of this are very few, Jiraiya, my mother, and myself; even my best friends don't know this. Let's just say it is the best kept secret in Konoha. My parents grew up together; they were friends all throughout high school. Even though my dad used to be the worst lecher of all time and my mom couldn't stand him when he did that, there was one drunken night and well you know the rest. Even though with everything that's happened my parents are still the best of friends; mom doesn't know this but dad quite hitting on women other than her. She's started to notice, but she still won't believe it. I think that eventually he plans on telling her; I've tried to push but he always tells me you can't rush love. I don't believe it but then again it is my mother. She put him in a hospital for two weeks for coming on too strong; he got out last week. I was so happy to see him there tonight at graduation sitting by mom; no one would ever think that he was my father maybe a father figure since he took care of me while my mother was working. People know we're close; they just don't even realize exactly how close we are, but I'm ok with that. No one but my mother and I know that his natural hair color is pink! He bleaches it to hide.
Mom, Dad, and I spent all morning setting things up at the club. There is a rock climbing wall and go-carts in the back parking lot, inside there is a pool tournament, a poker tournament, a Halo tournament, a Harry Potter Movie marathon, several different moon bounce type playhouses, and of course the dance floor. There is even a quiet room set up for the party poopers who decide to sleep during this phenomenon of outrageously fun parties. It took forever to set everything up, but it is so going to be worth it. From eleven o'clock until six in the morning everyone will be locked in the building or chaperoned in the back parking lot until midnight, this will be the project graduation that will never be forgotten.
Sasuke, Naruto, Ino, and I are the first to arrive so we can go turn of the moon bounces. We separate after that to go change out of these outfits to go put on more comfortable clothing. Unfortunately I let Ino grab my clothes since I was busy setting the place up all morning. So I am stuck wearing clothes that are for clubbing instead of the T-shirt and pajama pants combo I originally planned on. At least she didn't pick something I couldn't play on the moon bounces with, she picked a scarlet red halter top and daisy dukes. Thank fully I keep a spare pair of Nikes in the car or I would be stuck bare foot all night, because Ino brought heels. I could tell she planned on dancing for more or less the entire night; she was wearing a lavender skin tight sleeveless dress that stopped mid-thigh and matching platforms. Yes this was my best friend of all time and our fashion sense couldn't be any different. I'm going to miss her when she leaves for fashion school. It sucked but I decided to stay around and go to Konoha University (KU) for nursing. I know the majority of my friends are going to KU: Sasuke, Naruto, Neji, Kiba, Shikamaru, but my best girlfriend Ino was leaving me going all the way to Suna and my other friends were going off to other distant places to study one thing or another. This is what got me to thinking how was I going to manage keeping the friends who were staying with me. Even though I had so many distractions throughout the entire night I still kept wondering what was going to happen when college came. Of course no one noticed but Sasuke. He even tried to cheer me up by dancing with me. It was sweet and so not Sasuke but that didn't even cheer me up. So this is how I got to where I am now lying on a patio lounger on Sasuke's balcony watching the sun rise.
"Are you ever going to have some fun?" I heard to sliding glass door leading into Sasuke's room open and shut again.
"What do you mean Sasuke?" I replied never taking my eyes off the scene before me. I always did like watching the sun rise; it's been a long time since the last time I had this good of a view.
"I mean throughout the entire party you did nothing but sulk. Sak we just graduated you should be celebrating." He said lying down beside me on the lounger. I debated in my head whether I should tell him or not. He would probably just tell me I'm being stupid and that would never happen.
"Ino leaves for Suna today," I look to my left so I could see him better his arms behind his head his left knee up just lazily lying there. "And I just feel like I'm going to lose all of my friends to college."
"Sak you know that won't happen," he looks back at me.
"How can you be so sure?" I couldn't help letting a tear fall. I don't cry never do so for me to cry twice within two days he has got to be thinking I'm on something, but then again we've done that and neither of us thought it did any good.
"I can't vouch for the others, but I can say you will never lose me," the sincerity in his eyes were so real, it was comforting. How can this boy that is like a recluse to most of the world be such a nice guy to me?
"Thanks Sasu." He smiles hearing to long forgotten nickname. I probably haven't used it since we were ten at least.
"Come on," he grabs my hand pulling me up from the lounger, "Naruto wants to play rock band again." I follow him inside to where the other were setting up the rock band stuff.
"Sasuke we got to start a new band we totally screwed up the other one." Wait start a band. Why didn't I think of this before? We all have the talent and I've written songs before. This could keep us together!
"Naruto you're a genius!" This gets me several 'are you serious' or 'what are you smoking' looks from around the room.
"Sakura, may I point out he barely passed?" Neji spoke. I just look at Sasuke for about a millisecond and he catches my point exactly.
"Hn. That is genius" Sasuke scratches the back of his neck.
"YEA! Believe it!" was heard from Naruto's mouth. Then a frown was upon his face, "Wait why am I a genius?" Sasuke and I started laughing leaving the rest of the room to look at us in wonder.
