Hey everybody! This is my FIRST story so please go easy on me! :) I hope you all enjoy this story! R&R!!
Disclaimer- I do NOT own Naruto or any of the characters! Nor do I own ANY of the songs put in this story.
'Wow' this is really it. Thought a pink haired girl named Sakura.' I can't believe I actually got accepted into the top school in performing arts!'
"Ok Sakura just breathe…..you can do this….just march up to those large…terrifying doors and walk in.. Let everybody know that Haruno Sakura is in the building!" she said to herself. She sighed and sat down, leaning against a cherry blossom tree. She knew it was going to be awhile before she could gather enough courage to walk into her new school. As she leaned against the tree she thought about how she got into this amazing school.
Flashback
"Ok, who's next…" muttered an old lady with a clip board." Ahh yes, would Haruno Sakura please come forward?"
Sakura gulped, this was it, she would have to show everybody that she belonged to this school. Sakura was nervous, very nervous. What if she messes up? What if she falls during her routine? Her mind was racing as she proceeded to the big, brightly lighted stage.
"Hi…I'm Haruno Sakura. My current school is Konoha High" Sakura said. Before anybody performed they had to state their name and where they go to school. They also have to state why the want to attend the school and what their talents are." I want to go to this school because I want to better improve my talents. I feel this school could teach me a lot. I also want to be around people who treasure the same things I do-playing piano, singing and dancing. Those of course are all of my talents. If I stay at my current school, I feel as if I have no time to practice to get better because I have to study for a lot of tests and do tons of homework in the academic field. I know that if I came to this school, I would have a big chance of having career that evolves around the things I treasure.
The old lady smiled at Sakura before putting on a serious face "Ok Miss Haruno you may proceed with your performance." Sakura smiled confidently and nodded. She went over to the piano and started playing My Heart will go On by Celine Dion and singing it as well.
Every
night in my dreams
I see you, I feel you,
That
is how I know you go on Far across the distance Near, far,
wherever you are Love can touch us one time Love was when I
loved you Near, far, wherever you are You're here, there's nothing to
fear,
And spaces
between us
You have come to show you go on
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more
you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will
go on and on
And last for a
lifetime
And never let go till we're gone
One true time I hold to
In my life we'll always go
on
I believe my heart does go
on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And
my heart will go on and on
And I know that my heart will go on
We'll stay forever
this way
You are safe in my heart
And my heart will go on and
on
All of the judges nodded their heads in approval while giving her performance a review on each of their own note pads. One of the judges spoke up and said "We hear you have another performance to show us. Is this true?"
"Yes it is. It's my dance routine," Sakura told the judge.
"Very well, you may begin" the judge replied.
Sakura got up from the piano and put a CD into the stereo. It was collection of different mixes. Her friend Shikamaru gave it to her. He was the best at coming up with his own beats and mixes. He also all ready went to this school. That was another reason she was excited to come this school. So Sakura made a dance to one of his mixes. Sakura took a deep breathe before dancing. The judges watched as her body flowed around the stage with grace. She was mixing ballet with hip hop. She popped and locked her body, twisted and turned, jumped in the air, the judges were amazed as they watched how her body could move. Her long pink hair was flowing with every move she made. Her bright, large, green eyes shined on the stage. Sakura made one last leap in the air, did a 360 ballerina spin and landed doing a split on the floor.
The judges were very impressed to say the least. "Thank you Haruno Sakura you did a wonderful job," the old lady judge said. "We will mail you the results within a matter of weeks. More than likely, we will be seeing you soon." The old lady was smiling at Sakura
Sakura had a huge smile on her face "Thank you so much! I also hope to see you soon!" She got of the stage to shake all of the judges hands and proceeded to the exit. She couldn't wait to tell her mother and father!
Sakura literally started to run all the way home, but she decided that she should stop at Shikamaru's place. She knocked on the door eagerly. His mother answered the door.
" Why hello Sakura," Shikamaru's mom said smiling warmly at Sakura.
" Hey Mrs. Nara, is Shika home?" Sakura asked. (A/n: Shika is Sakura's nickname for him ^ . ^ !)
" Yes he is. He's up in his room. You can go right ahead."
"Thanks!" Sakura said and went sprinting up the stairs and down the hall way to his room. She noticed the door was locked. Sakura rolled her eyes. She started to bang on his door.
" OPEN UP!!" Sakura shouted.
" I'm coming' I'm coming'" a lazy voice said. Soon the door was opened and Sakura tackled Shikamaru to the ground in a bone crushing hug.
" Ahhhh Sakura you are so troublesome" Shikamaru grumbled.
"Yeah but you love me!" Sakura replied. Shikamaru couldn't help but grin.
"Ok so at auditions the judges thought my performance was wonderful and that more than likely they would be seeing me soon!" Sakura practically yelled in is ear.
" Wow, soon I'm going to be going to the same school as my little sister again. What a drag…" Shikamaru said while smirking.
(A/n: Shikamaru thinks of Sakura as a little sister even though they are not really related and Sakura thinks of Shikamaru as an older brother. They are both in the same grade though which is 10th grade. Sakura is 15 and Shika is 16. No he didn't get held back)
Sakura playfully glared at him and stuck her tongue out. Shikamaru chuckled and Sakura started to laugh.
They talked a little more about stuff and soon Sakura had to go home.
" Well Shika I love you and all but I got to get home and tell my mom the news!"
" Ha I love you to Sakura." Shikamaru said half asleep. " tell your mom I said hi," and with that he was off in a peaceful doze. Sakura rolled her eyes for the second time and giggled quietly as she left his room.
Sakura quickly hurried home.

"Mom! Guess what!!!? Sakura yelled excitedly as she ran through the front door.
"What is it sweetie?!" Her mom asked coming from the kitchen, eager to know.
"OK ok ok!" Sakura started, to excited to say anything else. " The judges thought I did a wonderful job and one of them said that more than likely they will be seeing me soon!!" She practically yelled.
"Oh my gosh! Sakura you're probably going to get accepted!" Her mother said.
" Naw really?" Sakura said sarcastically. Her mother knew clearly she was just joking.
They hugged and jumped up and down.
" Oh let's go out to eat to celebrate!" her mom said
" Ok!" Sakura agreed.
Later that night…
Sakura was stuffed. She didn't think she has ever eaten that much food. She was very tired. She put on her pajamas and got ready for bed. However, she couldn't go to bed just yet. She still had to tell one more person….
Sakura walked out onto her balcony, she looked up and the quiet starry sky. " Hey dad" Sakura greeted. " How's it going? Well I have a lot to tell you! I think I might get accepted into Konoha's School of Performing Arts! The judges liked my performance. It's all thanks to you… you know?? You taught me how to play the piano, how to sing properly, and even a few dance moves." Sakura slightly giggled at that. " I told Shikamaru and he definitely thinks I'm going to get in! I'm so excited. This is the school of my dreams! I wish you could be here with me now. I miss the way you would play the piano and sing for me until I fell asleep. Then you would tuck me in and-" Sakura felt a tear slide down her cheek. " Sorry dad, I know you don't like it when I cry.. You always told me to be strong.. But how can I when I miss you so much?" Sakura said as her voice cracked and another tear fell. " Well it's getting late, I should get going to bed… goodnight dad.. I love you…" And with that Sakura walked back into her room closed the door and with one final glance out at the starry sky, she slowly closed the curtains. Sakura let a few more tears fall as she slowly walked back to her bed. That night she cried herself to sleep….

Time passed and, like the judge had said within a matter of weeks the mail came.
Sakura Haruno had been accepted into Konoha's School of Performing Arts.
End Flashback
Sakura sighed once again, this time before standing up. She grabbed her bag and proceeded through the gates. 'Ok this is it, the school of my dreams. I'm not afraid anymore.' Sakura thought as she opened the large doors.
Sakura was ready to start her first day at the school that would lead her to success.
