Raise your Voice
Chapter 4
'Damn that Uchiha!' Sakura on thought as she glared intensively to Sasuke and started to walk forward slowly wishing it's not happening. Icy glares from the fan girls and from Karin are starting to make her eye sight blur from nervousness. "I'm going to use a guitar, might as well do it as an intermission" Sasuke smirked at Sakura's flushed face as she was now standing in front beside him. 'What the heck is up to now by this Uchiha?' She thought.
"I hope you know the song 'We'll be a Dream' by We the Kings feat. Demi Lovato, Ms. Ha-ru-no" he asked Sakura. 'His honorifics and in the way he mentions her name is starting to pluck every last of her nerves.
She just stares at him for a moment and sighed "Hai" she told him silently. Iruka sensei smiled "OK, now shall we begin the both of you?" sensei asked. Both of them nodded. Sakura thought about earlier.
FLASHBACK
Ino and Sakura are in the classroom long with others waiting for their sensei to come. Ino was scribbling on her iPhone arranging her schedule along with Sakura's practice for competition.
"Hey Sak, I'm going to arrange our practice session schedule so you'll not be put into pressure, every dismissal at 3 pm we proceed at my house and practice for 2 hours, don't worry I'll talk to your mom about this stuff. And whole day during weekends" Ino said and Sakura nodded. "Wow, you're really into this Ino, you're like my Fairly Odd Manager" Sakura teased Ino as she jokingly slap her arm.
"Ne, Sak, I'm going to give ya some tip for you when you're going to perform in front of a crowd, it's either you just look at me or just imagine that no one's watching you" Ino told Sakura.
"Are you sure that's gonna work? What if I really can't?" Sakura's eyes narrowed for pleading. "I'm sure you can, if you really can't, think of only happy thoughts" Ino smiled warmly at her. Sakura smiled back. 'Might as well give it a try' Sakura thought.
Sasuke began to test the acoustic guitar and started to strum the intro. Sakura stiffened.
(We'll be a Dream by We the Kings feat. Demi Lovato)
SASUKE: Do you remember the nights
We'd stay up just laughing
Smiling for hours
At anything
Remember the nights
We drove around crazy in love
When the lights go out
We'll be safe and sound
We'll take control of the world
Like it's all we have to hold on to
And we'll be a dream
Sakura took a deep breath and imagined things on her surrounding like she was on that garden and began to sing.
SAKURA:Do you remember the nights
We made our way dreaming
Hoping of being
Someone big
We were so young then
We were too crazy
In love
The entire class stared at her disbelievingly while Naruto grabbed his phone and took some pictures of both of them.
Neji was surprised of her voice. 'Wow, I can't believe that she's this good' Neji thought as he only focused on Sakura.
BOTH:When the lights go out
We'll be safe and sound
We'll take control of the world
Like it's all we have to hold on to
And we'll be a dream
SAKURA:Whoa whoa
Whoa whoa
Whoa whoa
BOTH:When the lights go out
We'll be safe and sound
We'll take control of the world
Like it's all we have to hold on to
And we'll be
When the lights go out
We'll be safe and sound We'll take control of the world
Like it's all we have to hold on to
And we'll be a dream
Sasuke finished the song's last instrumental.
They finished their song looking at each other on their shoulders. Sakura was out of her thought and looked at the Uchiha while he's looking at her too and immediately bowed and walked back towards her seat. Neji's eyes focused on her as she walks. Sasuke was so happy on the inside that he made her sing infront not just that but with him, but he just kept his stoic face.
Naruto started to clap and the others began clapping too. "Nice one Teme!" Naruto as usual grinned like an idiot. "Hn, Dobe" Sasuke replied. "How'd you know about that girl who can actually sing this good? Especially the geek girl?" Shikamaru asked Sasuke as he was sitting now beside his friends.
"I'll just tell you guys later" Sasuke replied and looked at Sakura. Neji after listening to Sasuke stared also at Sakura.
"Woah! The two of you are so good! You two can make a good song in the future." Their sensei said as he claps. Sasuke just nodded, and class started to murmur on each other about Sakura's performance and the look on Sakura's face was now bright red.
"I can't believe her voice is this good" a girl spoke. "You're right" the other boy agreed. "Hey Karin be careful about the upcoming competition, you've got yourself a rival" the other boy smirked as he teased Karin. Karin just clenched her hand and looked at Sasuke who's looking at Sakura secretly. A vein popped on her forehead when she accidentally looked at the Hyuuga who was unknowingly looking at Sakura too with a rare surprised happy face. 'What the heck is going on?' Karin thought.
"Now, now, we're going to start our class" their sensei told them.
"Yo Sak! You did great there! I can't believe it!" Ino who was clutching Sakura's arm. "Really?" Sakura asked Ino "Yes! Reaaaallllyyyy." Both of them smiled.
'That wasn't so bad after all, all I need to do is practice!' Sakura thought as a smile curved on her lips.
'She's cute' Neji thought
'She' s so adorable' Sasuke thought when both of men were still looking at her.
