Rated T.
KiiroIka
Summary:
In a world where Sasuke wasn't cool and cold, where Sakura was the stoic Ice Queen, Naruto and Hinata the richest, most popular power couple in the school and where Ino and Karin are actually the nice, timid girls in the scene, how do things turn out?
I do not own Naruto.
Chapter 4: Give Everything a Shot
I was shocked when she apologized. I never really thought she would.
Aww, she's a good girl after all.
'Me forgiving her doesn't mean I like her.'
"And?" I asked.
"I shouldn't have kicked you out of the group." She added.
Hm, still… I don't like her.
"I forgive you." I said. She must've noticed that I wasn't enjoying this.
"You don't seem to like forgiving me." She said. I just stared at her.
"No, I don't." I admitted. "But I will, since it's rude for me to turn down an apology."
She was mad, all right. Her face scrunched up as soon as I stated my reason.
"Listen, you little brat. I say sorry, I did what I was supposed to do and you just force yourself to forgive me? What is—"
"Are you sure you weren't forced to say sorry?" I added.
I don't really trust this girl.
Yeah. Though, I think we're going too far.
"Look," She said, looking to the side, "I don't like you, too. I only said sorry because it was the right thing to do."
"Sakura-chan!" Naruto protested. I suddenly realized that Suigetsu was probably outside.
He went outside, probably.
"No, Naruto. It's the truth." She added. "Besides… He doesn't like me, either."
"Yes, Naruto. I don't like her." I told him. "We both have the same reason for apologizing and forgiving—it was the right thing to do. But that doesn't mean we like each other."
She looked at me, and for a second I saw something in her face that made my heart skip a beat or two.
She looked…
Hurt.
-x-
"Okay, you two still don't like each other?" Itachi said, pressing some keys on my keyboard.
"Yeah, we seemed to agree with that." I said.
Seemed to.
'I still can't get over that face.'
But it went away in a few seconds.
'Yeah. Typical.'
"And what about the gossips and stuff?" Itachi said as he started to play a song.
"Well, she's going to clarify things, and say that everything's okay." I opened my laptop and clicked on the Garage Band app.
"You gonna do a cover?" Itachi asked and went beside me.
"Probably." I said. "Mayonaka no Orchestra. Been so long since I last posted in YouTube."
"Oto did have a big influence on your love for music, didn't it?" Itachi smiled.
"Well, duh. It's the world's biggest music industry ever." I rolled my eyes. I picked up my guitar and looked at Itachi. "Care to help me with the violin?"
"Why not?" He smirked.
-x-
I was supposed to ride my bike to school, but Suigetsu saw me and I hitched a ride once more.
Seriously, you need a car.
Our first period was English Language class. There were a lot of students in the classroom already. They were all still giving me glares, but I shrugged. I'll be getting them the whole year, anyway.
"Hey, Sasuke!" Naruto called. He had that silly grin on his face again.
"Yo, Naruto." I smiled. He sat beside me.
"Glad you and Sakura-chan are okay." He said.
"Yeah. But I still don't like her." I finished. I popped earphones into my ears and decided to listen to Taylor Swift.
…
…
What? I like her!
"But you should still give her a chance." I heard Naruto say. I looked at him. "She's a really awesome gal when you get to know her."
"Heh, she doesn't like me back. Better to stay that way." I chuckled. The students started crowding the door once more. I take it that Sakura's already here.
"Oi, oi, stop crowding the door!" Naruto yelled. The students went filing back to their seats, just the same as yesterday.
It seems to be a routine already.
'Yups.'
"Hinata-chan! Sakura-chan! Ino-chan! Guys, over here!" Naruto waved. The gang placed their bags on the seats surrounding me and Naruto. I glanced over to look at Sakura. Our eyes met, and for a second, I saw the same expression I saw yesterday.
Dude, seriously.
'Why?'
Duh, she's hurt about something you did, obviously.
'What? C'mon, we both don't like each other, that's it.'
I'm beginning to think…
'What?'
And after that my inner bailed on me. Seriously, this dude confuses me. I looked at Sakura once more, and her face was back to normal. And by normal, I mean: cold, straight, and distant. Yet her eyes pop out and immediately makes me feel lighter.
Her eyes are so pretty, man.
'Hn.'
Seriously! I mean, do you see the way they shine?
'You're deluding yourself.'
But I have to admit, her eyes really are beautiful.
You like her.
'Physically. No, wait, I don't!'
Hmmm…
'Get rid of that smirk.'
"Class, settle down please." Kurenai-sensei said as she set her books down on the table. "Since I know most of you are too lazy to do anything when you are given too much things to do, I decided to give your project early."
"AWWWW!" The class cried. How typical. Losers too lazy to do a project. An English Language project! Come on, it's so easy!
"If I am not mistaken, Kakashi already gave you your class partners." She said. I looked at Sakura, who glanced at me for a moment then looked at Kurenai-sensei. The other students glared at me then looked at Sakura. "May I ask you to sit with your partners while I explain your project?"
The class started moving. Sakura didn't move, so I take it that I'll be the one moving to her.
Wow, a total princess.
'Who cares? No point getting into a fight.'
I moved to the seat beside her, and just looked at Kurenai-sensei.
"Okay, guys. Straight to the point. Your project is to make a poem. And since I collaborated with our music teacher, Jun-sensei, this poem will be turned into a song for her project." Kurenai-sensei explained.
"Yes. Gosh, I've been waiting so long." I muttered. Finally, a project where I know that I am very, verygood at.
"You write songs?" I heard Sakura say. I turned to her and saw eyes focused at Kurenai-sensei. But I can tell that she was waiting for an answer.
"Kind of. Yeah." I said. "I love music, you know. I learned to love it more when I went to Oto."
Yeah, she wasn't asking for that explanation, but when it comes to music, I just start saying those stuff.
And then I remember Tayuya.
During my first day in class, she welcomed me. She was the class president back then. And everybody in that class of mine was like family. Since I was a new student, when I entered the room the first day, party poppers and little trumpets filled my ears as streamers and balloons filled my eyes. I didn't think what happened in Alice Academy's Special Class(when Mikan joined the Special Class thing) (yes, I watched that) would happen in real life. And every time we got a new student or two, I'd help Tayuya and the gang fix up a party or something.
Oh, how I miss those days.
I knew it, you are gay.
'Fuck off bitch.'
"So I'm expecting a high grade on this, 'kay?" Sakura cut my thoughts. She still sat the same way as a few minutes ago. "I have a feeling you're good at this."
"Of course." I smirked. She turned her head toward me and gave me a cold look.
"My feelings are often wrong." She said. Although I saw a specific glint in her eyes that I can't quite figure out. She seemed like she was convincing herself.
As Kurenai-sensei discussed, I can't help but let my mind go back to my memories in Oto. I really love that city, and somehow, staying here in Konoha makes me feel a little… homesick.
I remember when my friends and I had our first karaoke get-together.
Well, first for us, you mean. They probably had it a lot of times.
Two weeks since we arrived, we already had a band: Seventh High Sound-off. I was the, ehem, vocalist, and sometimes keyboardist. Tayuya was also vocalist. She also played the flute and the harmonica. Sakon and Ukon, the twins, were lead guitar and rhythm guitar respectively. Kimimaro, the goody-two-shoes-slash-big-brother of the group, was the violinist. He was also the band manager (or acts that way). Kidomaru, the brains of the group, was on bass and Jirobo, our big baby, was on drums.
We sang pretty well, didn't we?
'Great band. Really great band.'
I miss 'em.
'Especially Tayuya.'
Yeah. Awesome girl. Very, very awesome girl.
But that was all before. Now I'm in Konoha, with Sakura Haruno as my partner. Seventh High Sound-off was far behind, and all I can do is to make do with the life I'm stuck in right now.
AWWW I'M GONNA CRY.
YOU KNOW WHY?
BECAUSE I BROKE MY PROMISE TO ALL OF YOU AND UPDATED VERY LATE. AND I ONLY HAVE ONE CHAPTER. ='((((((((((
I broke my own heart because of this :''(
Okay, reason for my absence:
WE WENT OUT. And the laptop wasn't with me /3 –cuts wrist-
And I lost inspiration. Now it's school time [again] and I'm bursting with inspiration (way to be soooooooooooooo wrong timing). :| :'(
I have so much to make up for. :
I'll try my best and sneak out tomorrow to be able to finish the fic! YAY! :P
NOTE: This ain't my laptop. I don't have my own nyehehehehe. :|
Anyways, GOMEN NASAI! :'((
Ahh, Sound 4. Love 'em. Especially Tayuya! And Kimimaro! XD
Oh and, yeah, this is chapter 4. Because the previous one to this was a teaser chapter (or whatever you call it, IDK!) Hehe ;)
XOXO
