Story Summary: Humor/General/Romance (Later)
Takes place before the Chuunin exam.
So Sakura gets sick and tired of herself and decides to change. But how will she, and everyone around her cope with the new changes?
Enjoy!
It was the usual daily routine. Wake up at 4, take shower, do hair, brush teeth, go to eat, one last check, leave. It all took quite a while. (Mainly the hair part.) Sakura walked along the road to the bridge and spotted Sasuke.
"Sasuke-kun!" She shouted, running towards him.
'Oh God, she's back...' Sasuke would think.
"U-um, Good morning Sasuke-kun! How are you?" She'd ask.
"Hn."
Then Naruto comes, they wait for a couple hours, Kakashi shows up, training, go home.
Sakura had just gotten finished with her shower and gotten dressed when she looked at her room. She took in everything. The walls with Sasuke pictures on them, which she used genjutsu on to make it look like a regular wall. The pinkness, and the many bottles of hair care products on her vanity. She sighed. It was... a little disgusting.
She sat at her vanity and blow dried her hair, then brushed it, then combed it, then sprayed it, and more. Finally when she was done she looked in the mirror... and was disgusted.
It wasn't that her forehead was big, which it was. It wasn't that her eyes were contrasting with her hair all of the sudden, which it was. And it wasn't that she had a disgusted look on her face, which it did. It was her life. She decided to view it. Think about it, and the like.
'Hmm.. normally the days of my life go: SASUKE SASUKE SASUKE SASUKE YAY!' She thought, depressed. 'Wait a second, that's it! That's why I hate my life!' She thought, and happy that she wasn't going to have to fight depression, she went on a rampage.
A rampage of her room. She tore the pictures of Sasuke off the wall. She dumped out her 14 bottles of shampoo and 17 bottles of hair spray. She discarded her comb. Then, she cut off her hair. With most of her hair gone, she felt... free. Like it freed her from the pressures of her non-pressurable life. Then, she went to sleep.
(A/N: I dun care that that wasn't how she cut her hair.)
She woke up to the sun shining, and started humming a tune. Soon she was shouting it and singing along with the melody playing in her head.
"It's a new day, but it all feels old, it's a good life, that's what I'm told!
But everything, it all just feels the same..."
She didn't bother to do anything but skim through her hair with a brush, and take a shower and brushed her teeth.
"At my high school, at Bell Mortemy,
like a jail cell, a petititory ,
my time spent there, it only made me see..."
She raced down the stairs, got some toast, and ran out the door.
"I don't ever wanna be like you,
I don't wanna do the things you do, Never gonna hear the words you say,
and I don't ever wanna, I don't ever wanna,
BE YOU! Don't wanna be JUST LIKE YOU!"
She skipped down the stairs and continued singing towards the bridge.
"What I'm saying is this is the anthem,
Throw all your hands up,
And I don't ever wanna BE YOU!
Don't wanna be you!"
Jumped around and noticed Sasuke wasn't there. So she continued singing.
"Go to college, a university,
Get a real job! That's what they said to me!
But I could never live the way they want..."
She continued singing, although quieter.
"I'm gonna get by, and just do my time,
I'm gonna step all )
So just get in line!
I'm just a mind,
I'm just a greater mind!" ?
She spotted Ino and decided to sing this part to her.
"Do you really wanna be like them?
Do you wanna be another trend?
Do you wanna be part of that crowd?
Cuz I don't ever wanna, I don't ever wanna be YOU!
Don't wanna be JUST LIKE YOU!"
"W-what?" Ino said, startled. Here was Sakura, singing about not being a trend, whilst her hair was cut and she was acting like a maniac.
"I QUIT the Sasuke fan club! I'm no longer Agent Cherry-Blossom! GO FIND A DIFFERENT ONE!" She yelled, and then pushed Ino in the opposite direction. Ino just kept on going.
When Sakura turned around, about to start singing again, there was Sasuke!
'Oh no, she's-- Wait, what did she do to her hair?' He thought.
"Sasuke, I've decided that we should just be friends. I'm no longer going to chase you like some rabid fangirl." Sakura held out her hand in offering of peace.
"Huh?" Sasuke said, as Sakura grabbed his hand and shook it.
Naruto came, and Kakashi poofed up.
"YOUR LATE!" Sakura and Naruto yelled.
"Well, I saw this little old lady trying to cross the street, and I--"
"LIAR!" They yelled.
"Yeah, your right. So the first task is to do 50 push ups, 60 leg ups, 40 crunches, and 150 laps."
"Only?" Sakura said.
"Yeah, because I have a special task for you guys later." Kakashi said.
So they all did their workouts, which, surprisingly, Sakura did completely, not like girl push ups, or walking the laps, or only bringing her feet a centimeter off the ground, which astounded everyone.
"So... The special task is..." Kakashi started.
