Pink, it's the same thing I wake up to every morning. It's the reason I stick out like a sore thumb even though I try to blend into my surroundings. I always thought my name was some what bitter-sweet. I mean, sure Sakura goes perfect with pink, but then again a Sakura flower stands out. Its makes your sway with it, it's simple, yet beautiful. And me, I seem to be the complete opposite of that statement. Why do we get named after a certain object? It's like pre defining yourself without getting the chance to show your identity in some way. Sometimes pretty names aren't given to pretty people, and for my case I can't accept my name. With pastel waist long hair and jade eye's you'd think that I sound like some sort of princess, wrong.
My hair is always in a neat high bun, and my eyes are swallowed by my thick rimmed glasses. My glasses aren't the only things that seem to consume my features, my original petit frame is always draped with clothes that should be worn by the opposite sex. 'Luckily', Konoha High does in fact have a tacky and predicable uniforms. Our navy blue shallow skirts, for the even shallower girls and simple off white blouse with a grey cardigan is mainly the girl's uniform. And you probably guessed right! Guy have the exact same colour sequence, but pants! My uniform is always a size bigger and I choose my skirt much longer than your typical student here. Its quite ironic how the one person who choose to blend in stands out the most.
I always make sure to get to school before anyone else, this ensures less encounters and I get my personal choice of seat. Beside the window at the back of course, I choose the only window that still opens and have the perfect view of the Sakura fields outside the main building. Yes I know, I hate my name; but I still love the actual flower. It's early fall and the start of the new semester, my final semester and the breeze almost makes me forget that today will be just like the rest, horrible.
The voice's in the hallway start to get louder until the front door of the classroom opens. In swings by four people in Konoha that everyone knows. Naruto Uzumaki, almost the loudest and foolish person to ever step foot in our village. His hair almost sticks out more than mine, literally. He's got so many golden spikes on his head it still blows my mind how it's a natural look, but then again I shouldn't be talking. Closely behind him is a girl that suits a pretty name. With her black hair, almost looking violet and those brilliant pearled, grey eyes that seem to stand out more than her boyfriends hair, is Hinata Hyuga. When the fraise opposites attract is mentioned, these two exceed all expectations. Hinata is quite and reserved, while Naruto seems to live off attention.
Not far behind them are Sai and Ino Yamanaka. Two people who are labeled as most attractive and best suited. Ino being the spitting image of Barbie, with baby blue eyes and blond hair that looks almost silver. While Sai is your basic tall and dark featured guy, with everything black including his soul he is Konoha heart throb. I resume my attention outside and try and count how many Sakura petals can fall to the ground before the actual Sakura is thrown down.
"Morning, Sa-Ku-Ra."
Nine, the amount of petals that fell, today was quicker than usual. Sai has a habit of always having that fake smile plastered on his pale face.
"Ha! She's ignoring you, maybe she can't hear you." Ino giggled while placing her heart shaped face on her boyfriends shoulder.
Two more steps and he was facing me, blocking my view of the falling petals.
"That's no way to great someone who was just trying to be friendly." He said.
"Pfft." I couldn't help it, my snort from his fake greeting escaped my lips.
In an instant my face was yanked in between his hands and I was forced to look up.
"What's so funny, Haruno?" He snapped.
"That fake smile brings out my real one." I replied.
His grip tightened and a smirk started to form on his face. His hand moved to the back of my head.
"I love this pink hair thought, it is natural? Of course it has to be, no ones dumb enough to actually want such a color."
"No one is dumb enough to answer their own question." I spat out. That caused him to tug to hard on my pastel strands allowing a grown to come out.
"Your something else you know that?" He laughed.
He was interrupted by the sound of the bell, signaling that first period had begun. He quickly let go of my hair and took his seat at the very front with the other three beside him.
Asshole.
I tried to fix the untamed bun before the teacher walked in, but then again he is always late. Shortly the class was already filled with laughs and conversations about last night and plans for tomorrow as well. As usual the seat beside, in front, and behind me were always empty. I was cut off from the class, cut off from the entire school. Our teacher had finally appeared, students stopped asking why he was never on time, his excuses were a little 'stretched'. Kakashi was a middle aged man, who always had his nose in a book, I honestly don't know what the other half of his face looked like.
"We have a new student today, please give him a warm welcome." Kakashi announced.
And following those words the door opened and in walked the 'new' heart throb of Konoha. He was also tall and had dark features, but he was taller than anyone in the current class. But maybe the fact behind that was how his hair spiked so abnormally from the back, but it was unique, it suited him. His eye's were big and sharp, all his features seemed sharp. It almost seemed like he was carved and each angle had to be perfect, because perfect is what this kid looked like.
"My name is Sasuke Uchiha." He said.
And that was all, he didn't wait for Kakashi to seat him down he just made his way to the back, the seat right in front of me. His shoulders were broad and his hair seemed even weirder close up, it was spiked up but looked soft at the same time. He would definitely stand out here, but it almost seemed like he didn't want to. He started to look out the window, looking towards the Sakura tree's and in that instant it felt like he was looking at me.
"Thank you Sasuke, I hope you will enjoy Konoha High." Kakashi said.
"Hn." Was all he replied with.
After the lesson outline Kakashi made his way to the faculty office and the chairs that were usually vacant had been occupied by every female of the class.
"Your Sasuke right?" Lame, they already new his name.
"Hn."
"Well if you need a tour of the school we'd be more than happy to show your around." They giggled.
So Annoying.
What I thought had been said by him out loud at the same moment. There was a long paused before Ino broke it with her high pitched laughter.
"Your so funny Sasuke! Here, come sit with us over there. Leave the pink drape alone."
And at this moment he looked up, but not at her. He turned around and faced me, almost surprised that there was actually, in fact another person there the entire time. I held his gaze, and he seemed to look so cold, and so unemotional and I wanted to mimic his exact features while returning the stare. I was interrupted by a heavy arm swinging over my shoulders.
"Hey Sasuke, my names Sai. This one her is Sa-Ku-Ra, but feel free to call her as you please, she isn't worth much anyways." And the whole class erupted in laughter.
I did nothing more but burry my head down, wishing that it was anyone but him, anything but his cold stare looking at me.
"Sakura is a pretty name, It suits you." He said.
