It's Okay To Be Different (Sakura Haruka X Reader)

Chapter 6

Previously on Chapter 5

Furin? I've heard of that name. Isn't that the rival of the Shishitoren gang? Wow, I didn't expect to walk right into their territory. I walked out of that group, trying to start a new life. Only to walk right into another. Welp, I guess this is my life.

-Join Us-

Y/N P.O.V

"Hello?" Someone said, and a hand waving in front of my face. I blink my eyes as I snap out of my daze. I turn my head to see it's Umemiya. "Will you join Furin? Our motto 'Anyone past this point who causes pain, who brings destruction, who holds evil in their heart, will be purge by Bofurin without exception.' So in short, we're the town's protectors. It would be great to have you as one of us" he said. I blink my eyes at what he said.

This group will be different from Shishitoren. Honestly, protecting the weak is what I'd much rather do. I don't wanna trample over them. Maybe this group wouldn't be so bad after all.

"Well, if you'll have me, then it'll be my honor" I said. He grins happily at what I said. He stands up from his spot and walks over to me. He offers his hand to shake. I just smile as I stand up as well.

"Well then... welcome to Furin" he said. I just smile and nod my head. "I'll give you an official uniform. So, come to our school tomorrow, yeah?" He said. I just nod my head at what he said. He turns his head to look at Sakura. "Help her find our school, will you?" He said. Sakura's face instantly turns red. I just raise an eyebrow at his reaction.

"W-Whatever" he said, turning his head away from us. I just let out a soft giggle. He turned his head to look at me. "What are you laughing for?!" He exclaimed, while pointing his finger at me.

"Oh, nothing..." I said, shaking my head while waving my hand lightly. He just rolls his eyes at me. I lean my head close to Kotoha. "Is he always like that?" I asked.

"Pretty much..." she said. I hum softly and nod my head. I turn my head to look at Sakura to see him eyeing me. I let out a nervous laugh. "And he's glaring at me" I said, turning my head away. He's probably aware about the fact that I had asked about him to Kotoha.

***

It's already the next day. Kotoha has given me a room in her house. So that's where I'll be staying. But I told her that it's not going to be permanent. I'll be staying with her until I've gathered enough money to afford my own house. She agrees to it.

I open the front door only to come face to face with Sakura. He has his hand lift, as if getting ready to knock on the door. I feel my cheeks growing warm when I realize how close our faces are to one another.

"S-Sakura!" I exclaim out of surprise. I take a deep breath as I take a few steps back away from him. I smile softly at him. "You're here early..." I said, once I had gotten over the temporary shock of the unexpected closeness.

"Well, of course. Wouldn't want to be late on the first day, right?" He said. Both of his cheeks are also red just like me, probably even redder. I just hum at what he said and nod my head. He turn his head away from me. "Let us get going" he said. He just turns around as he starts to walk ahead of me.

"Hey, Sakura! Wait for me! You're suppose to be my guide to Furin High. So don't just leave me" I said. I rush up to walk next to him. I pout at him. "You're mean. You know that?" I said. He just gives me a glance and turn his head forward. I notice his cheeks are slightly red. I let out a soft giggle.

A While Later

After a while of walking, we finally reach the school. I just stare at the building. I feel pair of eyes on me from almost all the windows there. They're probably curious about me, since I'm a newcomer.

As we walk inside, I notice there're no girls around. "Hey, Sakura..." I said, turning to look at the taller guy next to me. He turns his head to look at me, humming softly to let me know he's listening. "Are there no girls in this school?" I asked.

"Nope... you're going to be the first girl if you do attend this school" he said. I hum softly at what he said. I turn my head to look forward as he leads me to a classroom. He slides the door open. "Alright, here we are" he said.

As soon as he slides the door open, every heads turns to look at me. "Ah, Sakura-San! Who's this girl?" One guy said. I turn my head to look at him. He has a yellow hair, and a small notebook in his hand.

"You can introduce yourself" Sakura said, turning his head away. I turn my head to look at him. "Why are you giving me that look??" He asked.

"Don't mind him. He has trouble remembering people's name" a guy with eyepatch said. I hum m and turn to look at everyone in the room, holding my hands behind my back. "I'm Hayato Suo. What's yours?" He said.

"L/N Y/N... Umemiya-San invited me to attend this school" I said. Everyone stares at me in surprise. I tilt my head in confusion, wondering why they react that way. "Did I say something wrong?" I asked.

"You do know what school this is, right?" Suo said. I just nod my head. He walks up to me. "Are you sure you're going to attend this school? We'd be involved in a lot of fights to protect the town" he said.

"Why? Do you think I'm not capable of fighting?" I asked, placing my hands on my hips. I lift my fist, pointing at his face. "Wanna try me on?" I challenged.

"N-Now now. Let's not fight okay?" The first guy who asked about me said. I turn my head to look at him. "My name is Akihiko Nirei. Nice to meet you, L/N-San" he said, placing his hand on his chest as he said that.

"HELLO EVERYONE!!" A voice exclaimed. I jumped at the sudden voice. I turn my head to see it's just the intercom. I huffed in annoyance. I recognized the voice to be Umemiya's voice.

"Please welcome our new addition to Furin High. Her name is L/N Y/N. I'm the one who personally recruited her to join our group. Oh, thank you for joining us, L/N-Chan!" He said. Everyone turn their heads to look at me. I let out a nervous laugh at the sudden attention.

It was different from the moment I stepped a foot in this room. Now they look like they're judging me. I mean, I can't blame them for wondering why a girl joins a group that is meant to get involved in fights. But oh well, here I am.
