The second I heard that door bell ring, I almost had a panic attack. There were so many ways this could go wrong. What if they don't like me? What if I creep them out? How nice is too nice? I GOT IT. I'll just be my normal, sarcastic self. That's right Juliet. Stay calm, cool, and collected.
"Naruto the doo-AHHH", I was cut off by him grabbing my arm and practically throwing me down the stairs. By the time we reached the bottom of the steps, I was so out of breath.
"Jesus Christ! Naruto!", I whisper-shouted. My mother was still sleeping, so I had to stay quiet. "My fucking god. You could've killed me you kno-"
"Oh my gosh, hi!", I looked up and saw that Naruto had already opened the door. There stood a pink haired girl.
"Um..hey?", I said.
"I'm Sakura!" She exclaimed, proud of having that name or something. I made a face of understanding. This was one of the people Naruto was talking about. But where was the boy we were on the phone with? Before I had a chance to have another though, Sakura ran up to me and hugged me as if I were her long lost sister. "It's so great to meet you! You'll love it here! I can show you around anytime you like, I know this place that has the best pizza ever! I heard you come from NYC! Is it nice there? I was thinking abou-"
"Geez Sakura, give the girl some space. She's been here less than an hour. Do you WANT her to get a restraining order on you already?", someone's voice interrupted. Wow, a lot of interruptions today, eh? I looked over Sakura's shoulder to see a boy, leaning against the door frame, with his hands in his leather jacket. He had jet black hair, like mine used to be, he had an ear piercing, and was wearing a blue shirt with some black skinny jeans. I'm guessing this boy is the one that we were on the phone with right?
"Sorry Sasuke-kun", Sakura apologized. So it was him. He walked into the house and shut the door.
"Hey", I said cool-like, motioning my head upwards as if to say "what's up".
"Hn", he responded. Oh. I guess I have to show him who he's dealing with.
"Oh, so your that kind of boy", I muttered, looking unamused giving him my death glare. He glared right back. He was intimidating I have to say, but so was I.
"What kind of boy?", he said inching closer. I could tell he was offended and yet somewhat interested in what I had to say. I had this knack for reading people's emotions. I saw out of the corner of my eye that Naruto and Sakura were just watching us on, looking highly amused.
"You know", I began as I turned to face the stairs. "Those kinds of boys. The boys who are like bad boys, but actually know how to love deep down in that so called "cold heart" of theirs", I cotinued, as I spun around only to give him a smirk. He let his mask slip for a second, but then continued to have this bored look on his face.
"Wow" I heard Sakura say. Naruto busted out laughing.
"You just met the guy and you already figured out his life story!", Naruto continued laughing. "Oh god", he wiped his eye.
"Well your a spunky one aren't you?", Sasuke said, raising an eyebrow. I nodded.
"Guess so", I replied.
"Well! How about we all go upstairs now?", Naruto said. We all agreed.
"I'll go get some snacks!", Sakura exclaimed, disappearing into the kitchen.
We were all sat around in my room, after we put all of my things away. It took about a few hours with the help of Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura.
"So what school are you going to?", Sakura asked me. She was laying down next to me in my bed. The boys had occupied the bean bags.
"Yours", I said. She lit up.
"Really? That's great! I don't have any girls to talk to! All TenTen talks about is fighting, Hinata is always so shy, Temari isn't even in our grade! And Ino and I don't get along!"
"I guess I'll be meeting all these people?"
"You will. Grandma Tsunade got you a schedlue similar to ours, so you'll meet them alright.", Naruto said. I nodded and sighed.
"When do you start, anyway?", Sasuke asked.
"Tomorrow", I said as I reached off my bed to grab a couple of pieces popcorn that was in the center of all of us. Sasuke nodded.
"Is anyone up for a movie?", Sakura said out of the blue. I looked over at her.
"I don't know why, but weirdly...yes..", I said slowly. Naruto agreed and Sasuke nodded as well. We all got up and walked down the stairs. When we got down the stairs, I saw Tsunade was already awake.
"Hey Grandma, is it cool if we go see a movie?", Naruto asked her. She yawned and nodded.
"Sure. Just make sure Juliet doesn't get lost", She added as we all were putting our shoes on.
"Great. Now I'm gonna be scared the whole time were out." I said, zipping up my grey hoodie. Everyone just laughed and we headed out.
Soon, we were all walking outside and I had a death grip on Naruto's wrist. I wasn't getting lost the first day I was here!
"Juliet, hold any tighter and my wrist will dislocate", Naruto said. I loosened up my grip. "Thank you"
"What kind of movie are we seeing?", Sasuke asked.
"Horror!", Naruto and I said simultaneously. We looked at each other and laughed. Sasuke totally agreed but Sakura sure as hell didn't.
"No I don't want to have nightmares!", she protested. Sasuke told her to suck it up and she agreed only if she got to sit next to him. We finally reached our destination and walked inside. I was greeted with the scent of popcorn hitting my nose and a lot of noise from the arcade in the corner of the building. We walked up to a cashier to buy tickets.
"How may I help you?" This lady asked Naruto and Sasuke.
"4 tickets to Carrie in 3D, please", Naruto told her. The boys paid for me and Sakura, which was nice of them. The lady handed us our tickets. The movie didn't start for about 10 minutes which meant we could fool around in the arcade for sometime. We all went over to one of those claw machines that are near to impossible to beat. Sasuke and Naruto both tried, but failed. And failed again. The third time, Sasuke actually got something! It was a teddy bear.
"I didn't know that people could actually win anything from this!", Sakura exclaimed.
"Right?!", I said just loud enough for them to hear me over the loud noise. Sasuke grabbed the stuffed bear out of the machine and looked at it. He thought for a bit and pushed it in my direction.
"Here", he said. I stood there looking at it. This was the first gift I've ever gotten. He looked up at me when I didn't take the bear from him.
"Uh..um, thanks", I said, taking the toy and smiling at him. Naruto looked at his watch.
"Movie is about to start. We should probably go in.", he said. We all agreed and went in to the theater. During the entire movie, Sakura keep whimpering and jumping. But me and the boys seemed to be enjoy the thrill. When the movie was done the audience clapped and cheered. It was a pretty awesome movie. When we got out of the theater, Naruto spoke. "Wanna sleep over?", he asked Sasuke and Sakura.
"Sure", Sasuke agreed.
"Gotta ask my parents", Sakura said. Naruto groaned. "I'm not an orphan like you three so I have to ask!", she added. My eyebrows both rose simultaneously. Sasuke was an orphan too? On our way home the sun had set and the moon was out.
"Yeah, mom. Naruto's house. Yeah. Alright. Thanks. Bye.", Sakura hung up on her mom. We walked and talked about the movie for a bit. Then I realized we handn't stopped at Sasuke's or Sakura's house to pick up clothes or anything.
"Don't you guys need clothes or something?", I asked them.
"We practically live their half the time, so we have half our clothes and everything we need over there.", Sakura replied. Sasuke nodded. I nodded and we hopped up the steps of Naruto and I's home. Naruto opened the door and we all walked in. As I was taking off my boots, and pulling off my beanie, my mother walked in.
"I'm glad you guys didn't lose her", she said smiling. She was obviously talking about me.
"How could we when she had a death grip on me the whole way there and back?", Naruto said, smiling.
"Oh shut up", I said pushing him and walking into the kitchen. The other three followed behind. We all sat down at the breakfast counter.
"Sooooo, how was your first day here", Sakura asked me wiggling her eyebrows. I half smiled.
"Good, I unpacked everything, I got to go outside, and I think I made some friends.", I answered. Everyone smiled. Well, Sasuke attempted to. Oh, I already have that boy figured out. "I'm gonna go shower.", I said standing up.
"Then I guess we'll get out the bed sheets and inflatable mattresses", Naruto said. And with that, we all stood up.
Once I was in the bathroom, I looked at myself in the mirror and sighed. I didn't want to undress. If I did, I would be forced to see those ugly scars and scabs covering my body from all the cutting I've done. I took a deep breath and began undressing. Once I was completely naked, I looked down at my body. Marks were covering my thighs and hips. The only reason I cut there is because no one would notice. But during the winter, I could cut on my arms and get away with it by wearing long sleeved shirts. I turned on the water and stepping inside, I scrubbed my body being careful not to irritate the scabs on my body. I was about to shave my legs but I stopped myself. If I pick up that razor I might just lose control and slice myself up. I picked it up anyway. I didn't have a reason to cut today. It was a great day. The only reason I cut is because the pain of the wounds distract me from the emotional pain I'm feeling. I hurried with my shower and dried my self. I got dressed in some yoga pants and a Cookie Monster sweat shirt. When I walked into my room, I saw Sakura was putting some bed sheets over an inflatable bed that was next to my bed. She looked up and me and smiled.
"Ready for school tomorrow?", she asked me. I shrugged. I knew if I was with Naruto, Sasuke and her I would be alright. The boys walked in and sat in my bean bags again. I have a feeling that they will always be seated there.
"You'll love everybody!", she assured me. I nodded. We talked the rest of the night until the boys went to sleep in Naruto's room. After that. We all fell asleep. I think I had a dream about my parents. I don't remember well. But what I will definitely remember is Naruto waking me up for school by straddling me and screaming in my face.
"SCHOOL TIME!", he hollered. Oh boy.
A/N: AWWWW! Sasuke-kun gave her the teddy bear! Haha, Juliet starts school next chapter. And I think I have a plot in mind. It involves Hinata and Gaara...yeah...
