Chapter 2:
Shakespear's Sonnets
Sakura POV
After my performance we finished the Music lesson and 'our' group went to the cafeteria for the lunch break. We sat down, lunch on our tablets when a girl with sand blonde hair parted in 4 pigtails sat down on the other side of Shikamaru. I saw Ino throw a glare at her and wanted to distract them so there wouldn't ensue a fight. "Ano, Ino-san what's our next lesson?" she looked at me surprised and thought over it for a moment "Hm, philosophy I think we are discussing some sonnets from Shakespear" she told me "Really? Shakespear is one of my favourite poem writers!" I exclaimed happily. I was the truth, I really liked his way describing everything around him. "Ah, why did I already expect that?" Sasuke asked me, a mocking expression on face "Maybe because you know me so good?" Sasuke was about to answer when Naruto interrupted us "So, Sakura, how do you know Sasuke?" he asked, shoving his face from the other side of the table between us. "Hm, that's a long story and I don't even know if Sasuke is-" I was then interrupted by Sasuke "It's allright for me, Sakura, just go on and tell them, if you're okay with it, too" I smirked at him "Sure, sure. So it all began when our Mothers met..." Me and Sasuke told them everything, from our first encounter we just knew of because of our Mothers, over the pranks we played and we even told them about how we got separated. Ino sniffed "Oh, such a heartbreaking story!" she exclaimed, I blushed "Really? I mean we where best friends and everything but.." I trailed off, not wanting to say these words, which we both definitely often had to think about when we were younger. There were moments in our friendship, things tat occurred...we didn't kiss...not lips on lips but nevertheless things sometimes got awkward. "Ano, and everything just because of an argument of your fathers?" Hinata wanted to know. Sasuke responded before I had the chance to "Yeah, I couldn't really figure it out, even after all these years but I think it was my father's fault. All he could think of was his money and then he messed up his good co-oparation with the Haruno company." Sasuke finished, I looked at him apologetically, I knew that even despite the fact that he said he was okay with telling everyone about our long-term-friendship the feelings of our separation washed through him again, just like it was for me. I felt everything hit me again. Like a big boulder I couldn't lift up alone. It was like Sasuke felt my sorrow because the next thing I felt was his strong hand holding mine under the table. It was really comforting, I knew that together, we could lift the boulder easily.
Our philosophy teacher was Iruka-sensei which seemed like philosophy wasn't what he was planning to teach when he was younger but enjoyed it now. We were in our classroom again and everyone sat down on their responsible seat. When we all settled down Iruka-sensei greeted us and asked who could recite the sonnet number 18 from Shakespear. No one seemed to want to do it so he chose randomly. "Ah, Sasuke! Please recite sonnet number 18 for us." Sasuke grunted and stood up.
"Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou growest:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this and this gives life to thee."
I was astonished, Sasuke was really good at this, his dark and sometimes even menacing voice was perfect for Shakespears sonnets. I knew it was about a man who compares a woman he likes to a summers day and tells her that everything a summers day has she has got to and more. "Thank you Sasuke, that was really good" Iruka-sensei told him. Sasuke sat down again and I turned to him "I didn't know you could recite Shakespear!" Sasuke just shrugged "There probably will be many talents of each other we don't know about, now." he told me, truth, after so many years of absence. Iruka-sensei continued his lesson with asking everybody some questions about one or two different sonnets. I wasn't even paying much attention.
Sasuke POV
"Next lesson is P.E" I told Sakura while we were walking through the halls with the others. We stopped for Hinata and Sakura to get their sports bag out of their locker, we others had ours already, and after they finished we continued our way through the school to the gym. "Who's our teacher?" Sakura asked no one in particular. I turned around, ready to answer but Ino was faster "Gai-sensei" she answered with a look of disgust in her face. Now Naruto chimed in "Have you met bushy brows already? The boy in the green body suit?" he asked Sakura "Hm, yeah I think so, why?" she looked at Naruto questioningly "That's how Gai-Sensei looks like" Sakura face-palmed. That was the reaction of most of Gai-sensei's students. We parted at the changing rooms and met in the gym hall again. Naruto and I were playing a game of basketball when the dobe stared at the entrance and the ball I wanted to pass over to him hit him on the head. "What the hell, teme?" he screamed. I looked over at him, sitting on the floor. "Just quit staring at whatever" he looked at me and lifted his brow and nodded over to the entrance he was staring at before "Look." he told me and I grumbled in response. I moved my eyes over to the doors and saw the girls of our group coming out, no, more one girl in particular. Sakura. I let my eyes wander up and down her body and take in the sight to behold. Her long curly hair up in a ponytail, her dark red tank top didn't look tight but showed her curves too well. Her really short black shorts clung to her legs perfectly. My eyes wandered down her long, creamy legs which never seemed to end. She looked stunning. I wondered why the hell I thought of her like this now, in the past I never had thoughts like these. 'Because you're a hormone-filled Teenager now, and you know she's hot~!' sang a little voice in my head. The group of girls came in our direction and I averted my eyes, Sakura didn't need to know that I was thinking about pushing her into the next corner and see how her skin felt against my lips. To my luck...more or less, Gai-sensei came and everyone gathered around him. "You shall run 10 laps around the gym in all your Youthness!" he declared and began to race his 10 laps against Lee. "Wanna race against me?" Sakura asked from my left side. I turned to her and smirked, I wondered if was able to keep up with me. "Hn, 'k" I grunted out and began my first lap. When I was sure I had made some space between us, I began to jog and suddenly heard Sakura's voice from my right side "You sure are a cheater" she told me while jogging lazily. "Tch, want to pick up the pace?" she just smirked at my question. "Sure, why not." and then we began to run.
"So, now we are doing some stretching! Choose a partner and begin!" Gai-sensei exclaimed with the obnoxious voice of his, of course Lee was his partner. All the fangirls flocked around me and screeched things like "Be my Partner Sasuke!" or more disgusting things like "I'm really flexible! Wanna try?" I shuddered and fought my way trough to Sakura. "Hn, got a partner?" she looked at me and smirked, seeing the fangirls behind me "No, wanna be my partner, Sasuke-kun?" she asked all so sweetly. "Yeah, sure" I said and sat beside her, seeing the crowd of girls behind me getting smaller. I leaned over to Sakura and whispered in her ear "Thanks" while pulling back I noticed that her hair smelled like cherry blossoms, one of the few things that didn't change. We began with our normal stretching like sitting on the floor looking at each other, foots touching, hands in hands and then pulling at each others arms. Sakura and I just had to make competition out of it and in the end hers and my arms too were aching. After the end of our P.E. lesson we were finished for the day. Everyone gathered outside the Konoha High and said their goodbye's. Sakura was about to go when I took her arm and turned her around "Something wrong Sasuke?" she asked, her jade green eyes showing more concern than necessary. "Not really, I just wanted to ask if you wanted to come over to me. Mum would want to see you again" I told her, it was the truth, partially, I didn't want to let her go again. I was afraid she might go away again. "Hm, sounds nice. I would like to see Mikoto-san again too. So when should I come over to you?"
"Now. I'm taking you" I told her and she followed me without a complaint. When we stopped at my Motorcycle she gasped. "I-Is this yours?" she asked me, smiling wide-eyed. She really loved Motorcycles. "Yeah, like it?" I sat in the front and she didn't even think about it and sat behind me. "Mh-mh, it's awesome!" she chimed and I started my black shining motorcycle.
I'm sorry! This chapter is not as long as it was planned but I just wanted it to be finished.
Sonnet Number 18 is one of my favourites and I red it recently and then the idea of using it in my story popped up in my head. The reader just had to be Sasuke, I could imagine him reading such poems just too well :3
I know that the characters are OOC in my story and I apologize for it but I that's because it is AU. Everyone grew up different in my story so they are behaving different. Anyway, I think the next chapter will take a while but I'll try to make it as long as possible for you guys!
