{Chapter 6- An Unlikely Job?}
"Sakura! Wake up!" I heard a much eager Ino call to me.
I woke up to their annoying sound and looked up to Ino and Temari who were literally shoving me around so I'd wake up. I remembered I had slept in the nurses office.
"What?" I said angrily as I sat up on the bed.
"Homecoming has been delayed!" exclaimed Ino.
"What? Why?." I began as I began to straighten out my hair.
"TenTen was caught red handed! She's been eliminated as homecoming Queen candidate!" said Ino.
"What? Why? When did this happen?" I asked obviously curious.
"Well, apparently she sent a certain someone to mess with the votes. So now the votes will be counted at the actual homecoming dance." said Temari.
"Whoa, the hag stooped that low?" I said with a smirk. Yeah, well the bitch would never beat me fair and square.
"Yeah, and you won't guess what we found out!" added Ino with a huge smile.
"What?"
"Sasuke works at McDonalds!" said Ino with a laugh. "Look at that the great Uchiha works at a fast food restaurant!" Ino was literally 'LMAO-ing'. It was pretty
funny.
LMAO-Ing? WTF!
-.- (laughing my ass off)
"No. Fucken. Way. Are you guys serious?"
"Heard it from Choji! He was there eating…obviously and Sasuke was the one on the cash register." He said while laughing again.
I smiled. Paybacks a bitch Uchiha.
"Guess that means we're eating MickeyD's today!" I said with a smile as I stood up.
"Alright!" said Ino.
When we got to McDonalds I kept a low profile and sat on a table before Sasuke could spot me of any of us.
"Sakura whats the plan?" asked Ino egarly.
I smiled. He owes me for being mean earlier…
HE HELPED YOU, YOU UNGRATEFUL BITCH!
Yeah! But he hates me remember!
True, but then again who wouldn't hate you
-.-
"Well…I'm just gonna be one of thoes picky picky people who order a mix and match of things an-"
"Sakura, I thought you liked the guy not hated him." said Temari.
I looked at her confused.
"I do…what are you talking about?"
"If you like him you should not be an ass to him, your only gonna get on his bad side and he'll be annoyed and come to hate you, then-"
"He already hates me, so who cares." I interrupted bitterly.
"He does?" asked Ino.
I turned away.
"I'm gonna order something already." I said.
"Alright, we'll wait here." said Temari.
"What! No! I wanna go too!" exclaimed Ino.
"Just wait here Ino." said Temair.
I walked to the counted at the moment Sasuke's eyes met with mine, I couldn't help but notice the look on his face; annoyance and surprise. When it was my turn to order he looked awkward and if I knew him any better I'd say he was embarrassed. Which was really out of character for him.
He let out a sigh before speaking to me.
"Welcome to McDonalds may I…alright laugh all you want spread it to the school I don't care." he said. Oh, so that's what this was about. He was embarrassed that I'd see him working here and tell the whole school. Well, whatever since this guy hates me so much I won't bother with him…although messing with him for a bit would be fun.
-.- bitch, you never learn
"Whatever." I said indifferently. "I want a McFlurry…oreo." I told him.
He seemed impassive and began to push the buttons on the cash register.
"Will that be all?" he asked.
I smiled this is where the really fun begins.
"And fries that'll be all."
He pressed more buttons and then looked up at me. "It'll be $4.98." he said.
"Hmm…on second thought I don't want any fries."
He had a stoic expression like always. I smiled. I'm not done yet Uchiha
"$2.76"
"Hmm…I'm feeling hungry. I'd like a BigMac." I told him with a smile.
He was beginning to look annoyed. Perfect.
"$7.5-"
"A BigMac's too big…maybe just a regular buger."
He looked at me sharply and seemed to caught onto what I was doing. To my surprise he smirked.
"The other costumers will get angry if you don't hurry." he said.
"Then they can use the other cashier."
"Look, I know-"
"I want a Mcflurry that's all." I said finally.
He pushed some buttons and then waited…waited for me to say something else. He just knew that.
"You know the service here is slow, I might have to speak to your manager." I said.
He turned away and began to prepare the McFlurry. When he set it on the counter I smiled.
"You know, I just remembered something. I'm on a no chocolate diet so on second thought I just want a cone." I said.
He smirked in annoyance. I was getting to him like always.
"Alright. 1.08" he said. I gave him the money and he left to prepare the food.
He brought back a cone and I smiled at him.
"Thanks, but really the service here is bad, I might speak to your manager an-"
"Next." he cut me off.
I turned away angerly. Stupid Uchiha! I thought. I walked back to the table and sat down and licked my cone.
"So what happened?" asked Temari.
"Nothing really…he was being a S-'ass'-uke." I told them bitterly.
Ino just shook her head.
"Well now it's our turn to order." said Temari. "Arent you hungry Sakura?"
I shook my head.
I began to eat my cone and then I noticed something very…strange…the cone…I looked at my cone and sure enough the bottom of the cone was filled with chocolate. I smirked.
So you like to play too huh Uchiha. I smiled, here I go.
I walked to the counted and placed my cone angerly on the counter. Ino and Temari quickly turned to me, and so did Uchiha.
"Yes?" he asked innocently.
Your gonna play like that? Fine. I caught glimps of a man in a white shirt. Manager. Great. Today's a Sakura-Day! Hell yeah!
"What the hell is this?" I asked outraged, hoping his manager would hear.
He just glared at me, he knew what I was trying to do. It's like he could read me. Don't he mouthed.
I just smiled.
"Well you already hate me so it wouldn't matter huh." I said.
He sighed and closed his eyes.
"I'll go remake a the cone-"
"What's going on here?" asked a deep voice from behind. His manager. The then looked at me and smiled. "I'm sorry, is Mr. Uchiha being rude? What did he do?"
The man then turned to Uchiha.
"Your on the line already Uchiha! Stop messing with the customers!" He then turned to me again. "I'm sorry Miss. What's wrong?"
From behind the manager Sasuke's eyes met with mine. A strange feeling came over me and I knew I was going out of line…he had helped me after all…ugh, I hate being nice.
This is being nice! Wtf!
Ugh!
"Nothings wrong. I…was just messing with him because I know him." I said with a smile.
Sasuke had his back turned but I think I saw one of his small smiles. And that actually made me feel…happy. J
"Oh, well then alright. But Sasuke it's cleaning duty for you now, Maki is on his way."
Sasuke looked annoyed at the sound of this but nodded nonetheless. He handed my a new cone and left.
"What was that?" asked Ino. As she walked over to me holding a latte.
"That wasn't so bad, in fact…I think I saw Sasuke smile. That's a first if you ask me. I've never seen the guy smile." Temari said while holding a smoothie. We began to walk back to out table.
"Temari that wasn't a smile…it was…" Ino drifted off trying to figure out the word.
"A small smile." I told her as I sat down on our table.
"Ehh~ never thought of that but I guess that makes sense." said Ino.
We chatted for a bit and then we were finished with our snacks.
"I honestly can't believe he works here." said Temari as she looked ahead to where Sasuke was now mopping.
"Yeah, it isn't the type of job he'd have, I mean really." added Ino.
"I know." I said as I looked over to where Sasuke was.
It honestly looked…sad. Him having a job like this. =\
"Let's go." said Ino.
Temari nodded.
"Alright." I said as I stood up.
We began to walk to the door when I suddenly heard my name being called.
"Sakura." I heard his voice say.
I turned around to see Sasuke staring straight at me.
"Yeah?" I asked.
He looked a bit awkward like before. I smiled. He didn't like to show his feelings did he. I walked over to him and smiled.
"You really don't like showing your feelings do you? Your always trying to keep yourself hidden."
He looked at me and gave me a small smile.
"Being hidden helps in many ways." he said.
Those words got to me. As open as I was I didn't let people look into my past…now that I think of it I'm kinda like Sasuke. Keeping a part of me hidden. Of course that helps…that had helped me be who I am today.
Help? It only made you a conceded bitch
But it helped hide what I'm really all about…It helped me hide away all about Him…
"By not being open…it helps you not be as vulnerable." I told him.
He looked at me as if he were taken aback. I could tell he would never in a million years think that we would have something in common or even relate to something I would say.
"Yeah." he then said after a while.
"Sakura, come on." I heard Ino say.
"Well I gotta go." I said as I began to walk backwards and waved at him slightly.
"Hey, watch out-" said Sasuke alarmed.
As I walked backwards I had totally forgotten that he was mopping and the floor was wet. I slipped and was about to fall down, and as I tried to regain my balance I accidentally kicked the bucket of water; which caused even more water to spill and only made things worse. Everything seemed to go in slow motion like in movies, but luckily Sasuke caught onto my hand and held his other hand out to support us both before I hit the floor.
"Damn." I said softly.
"Sakura! Are you are ok?" asked Ino as she hurried to where I was.
"Sakura, you alright?" asked Temari as she came over to where we were.
"Yeah, I-" I began, but was cut off by an angry voice.
"Damn it Uchiha! Can't you do anything rite! You should've put the 'Caution' sign here! I'm so sorry Miss are you alright?" asked the Manager.
Sasuke helped my get up and turned to the manager. Damn, this was bad. Sasuke was going to get in trouble and it was all my fault. The progress I'd made with him would be gone and he'd hate me even more.
"No, don't get mad at him! It was my fault and I'm alright." I told the Manager exasperatedly.
"Heh, and now you've even got your friend to lie for you. Geez,-"
Wait hold up! Who the hell says 'Geez' nowadays! It this guy really that old fashioned.
-.- get back to the story!
"-I can't believe Itachi recommended you. Your nothing like him, your just a pathetic kid. Clean this up an-"
"No." Sasuke said.
Sasuke's expression scared me. It was like looking at a different person. When he was mad at me I was intimidated, but this was something else. He was like a different person. His expression was filled with anger…no…hate.
"Clean this yourself, I quit." he said as he began to take of an apron and threw it on the floor.
Why was he so mad…then something came up to me…those words…it was what Deidara had told him that day in class.
"You think you're the shit don't you Uchiha? But your just a pathetic kid."
"Your nothing like him, your just a pathetic kid."
Fuck, this was bad.
"Uchiha! Your not leaving this mess you made, clean it up and then leave."
"I said no." Sasuke said as he turned back at his manager. He turned away was half way out the door when he turned back. "And don't ever compare me to that man." And with that he was out the door and gone.
I could only stare after him. Who was this Itacki? Why did he hate him that much? Maybe…then something came up to me.
"Because it's better to look at you as Sakura, a klutzy girl who can be annoying and irritating as hell, than to see you as…"
As who? Maybe this Itacki person was who I reminded him of. I needed to know!
I walked towards the manager and tapped him on the shoulder. He turned to me and seemed surprised.
"Who's Itacki?" I asked him eagerly.
"Sakura what are you-" Ino began.
"Who?" asked the manager.
"Itacki! The man you were talking about." I told him.
He scratched the back of his head and began to laugh.
Wtf!
"This isn't a joke!" I exclaimed.
"Sakura he said Itachi not Itacki." said Temari with a smile.
"Oh…well Itachi who is that?" I asked.
"Itachi is Sasuke's older brother. Quite the brothers at that." he said.
"What do you mean?"
The manager shook his head and scratched the back of his head…again.
What so this guy had flees or something? He keeps scratching his head. Gross. 'it's called a shower' I wanted to tell him, but I knew this wasn't the moment for my attitude.
"I'm sorry, but I can't really say any more information."
Damn it! Maybe I reminded Sasuke of his brother, but I needed for information on him.
"Ugh, your hopeless!" I exclaimed to the manager. "Come on." I said as I grabbed Temari and Ino and walked out of McDonalds.
"Sakura, hey wait. What's with you all of a-"
"Just get me to my house." I said as I opened the back door to Temairs car. I needed to know about this guy and I knew just who to talk to.
"What are you-" I cut off Ino.
"Just hurry please." I said.
Ino and Temari shrugged but got into the car and drove off without another word.
Itachi…maybe he was…my same height? No…maybe he was…maybe he wore pink! Or maybe pink was his color…OMG! Maybe he had pink hair like me!
What guy has pink hair? -.- that's kinda gay.
=( Shuichi from Gravitation has pink hair! And Szayel Aporro Granz from Bleach also had pink hair!
-.- Otaku
I'm not! Ugh!
But really maybe his brother has pink hair and I remind him of Itachi. Maybe that's why he hates me.
Or maybe his brother is just a conceited bitch like you
I'm not…that conceited anymore…ugh, not since I met Sasuke. He makes me doubt myself….kinda…but still.
Before I knew it, we had arrived at my house.
"Alright thanks." I said as I got off the car and hurried off inside my house.
When I walked inside I literally ran to my room and sat on my bed. I got my cell and checked my incoming calls.
SCORE FOR ME! Yes! Suigetsu's number was still here. Let's just hope he tells me something about Itachi. I dialed his number and waited.
"Hey Babe, what's up?" I heard Suigetsu say.
"Uhh…are you high? Don't call me that."
"I love you too, baby and I'm great, but I miss you already. I'm just relaxing here, with an acquaintance."
What the…acquaintance…he doesn't sound high. So then what's going on?
"What's going on?" I asked.
"Yeah, well she didn't listen to your warning."
There was something he was trying to tell me but I wasn't sure what it was. Then it came to me.
Acquaintance+She=Bitch
"So your with the bitch I spoke to earlier huh?"
"Yep. And I told you to be careful. Gosh your just so sweet."
Damn. This is wasting my time.
"Suigetsu…Do you-" he cut me off.
"What! Your coming to visit! That's great! When are you coming over."
"Oh god Suigetsu are you serious?"
"Please baby, I miss you a lot. And I know your busy with school, but maybe just for the weekend."
Damn it. I wanted to know about Itachi…ugh.
"Alright." I told him after a while.
"Aww thanks baby." he said.
This was getting annoying. Then it came to me.
"Um…Suigetsu…where do you live?"
He laughed on the other end.
"Your so funny baby. I'll call you later 'kay. Bye. Love you too."
And the line went dead.
Damn.
I closed my eyes and lay on my bed. I hope Suigetsu calls me back so I can ask about Itachi. And then I just fell asleep.
"I've got your picture, I'm coming with you Dear Maria Count me in. I've got your picture, I'm coming with you Dear Maria Count me in."
"Ugh, shut up!" I groaned as I woke up and saw my cell buzzing like mad. I picked up my cell and answered.
"Yeah?" I asked. I didn't even know who it was.
"Sakura?" said Suigetsu on the other side.
"Oh, it's you. What?" I asked.
"Are you mad? You sound-"
"I just woke up."
"Oh, well anyways about earlier. Sorry, she was there and I couldn't pass the opportunity. Anyways, im curious. Did you really mean it when you said you'd visit or was it a lie."
I thought of this for a moment.
"Well, I could go for a vacation." I said honestly.
I could almost here his smile.
"Then that's perfect."
"So where are you again?"
"Village Hidden in the waterfall. It's not that far." he said.
"Oh."
"So when are you- wait why did you call me earlier?"
"I…wanted to ask you something…"
"About?"
I paused for a moment and then answered him.
"Do you know anything about Itachi? Sasuke's older brother." I asked.
"Yes." He said hesitantly. "Why?"
"Do I remind you of him in any way?"
"No…why do you ask? How do you know about Itachi? Did Sasuke tell you something?"
"No…well kinda. Well he doesn't like his brother, and he told me earlier that he doesn't like me cuz I remind him of someone, but he didn't tell me who. So I was wondering that maybe I remind him of his brother that's why he doesn't like me." I said in a rush.
"Your nothing like Itachi." he said automatically.
"Not even pink hair?" I asked.
He laughed. "Itachi doesn't have pink hair."
"Alright then, maybe someone else." I said.
"Probably. Anyways when are you gonna visit?" he asked early. "Can you be here by tomorrow morning?"
"Well it's about two hours from here to there. I can get there in maybe 10am." I told him.
"Perfect." he said. He gave me directions to his place, said his goodbyes and hung-up.
I was gonna stay there for a night and then leave on Sunday. It was going to be a fun. I grabbed my Gucci suitcase and began to pack my clothes. I put a toothbrush, shampoo, blow drier, and other essentials. I put up my alarm clock and then went to bed, ready for a new day.
