Everything has Changed

Part 12

-Sakura's POV-

Phew! That was some experience the bullies put me through.

I am so super thankful for Sasuke and Naruto for coming there to save me!

I really thought I wasn't goinf to see the magnificent sun ever again!

Anyway, enough of that! The past is the past now I shall move on to the present.

So, the 3 of us managed to get to the classroom and sit down just seconds before the bell rang.

Wouldn't want to be late for the first day of jutsu learning!

I can also see everyone excited, since they were all buzzing here and there.

I even wonder if ever they get real tired doing all that stuff.

Anyways, Iruka-sensei soon went in to the classroom.

Surprisingly, he didn't have to shout to let all of us settle down and stop with all the gossiping and other stuff,

So, he just smiled and declared the first jutsu we are going to learn today.

Actually it wasn't actually a jutsu, sensei just taught us how to control our chakra.

For short, he's teaching us the basics first.

Naturally, many kids complained about the reason why they need to learn the basics first and not the jutsus right away.

As a result, sensei got super pissed and began scolding them about the importance of this and that and yeah.

While we were learning to control our chakra I sneaked a look at Sasuke and Naruto.

I first got a look at Naruto since he was seated nearer to me.

Okay, maybe near is not a good word but beside me.

He was having a hard time controlling his chakra flow.

I can tell beacause it is obviously written all over his face.

He has this face that is in the twist of frustration and determination while his sweat trickled down his face.

I just smiled at him, I mean at least he's trying.

You know as the saying goes: "Try and try until you die!"

Oops, I meant "Try and try until you succeed!" Sorry about that.

Anyway, after Naruto I got a look at Sasuke next.

Well, I'll be turtles mother, it seems like he's just writing the alphabet!

I mean he was just doing it really emotionless.

You know no stress at all. 

Well, okay maybe like about 15% out of 100% stress is seen.

But its not really that obvious you know.

Well, what do you expect from the star student.

He never fails to amaze me dude.

I mean how does he maintain his academic performance and all.

Like hello, he's like top 1 Sakura!

But still how does he even do that?

It's like you need to juggle your studies, social life and family!

Well, it is Sasuke after all. I know he can do it.

Meanwhile, I should also focus on what I am doing right now.

At least I am still Top 5.

So, I just shrugged the thought of Sasuke's amazing academic performance and focused on my chakra focusing.

"Okay, Sakura you got this!" my inner said to me.

"Of course, I got this!" I said answering my inner which in result is talking to myself like a total idiot.

Good thing everyone was all "diligent" in perfecting this so we can you know, learn some jutsus tomorrow.

After maybe about 30 minutes of doing all this I finally got the hang of it.

You know how I knew it?

Well, its like heaven opened up to me and angels began to sing!

Nah, I'm just joking, I found it easier for me to control it now.

So I can proudly say to myself: "Achievement!"

Hahahaha, saying that makes me laugh.

After all like 5 hours of doing this with two thirty-minute breaks we were all dismissed.

But, Naruto said that he couldn't get it still!

So, Sasuke and I helped him to do so.

Um, maybe I think we like stayed there for like another 2 and a half hours.

Well, we weren't just helping Nauro though, we also trained ourselves.

You know, we have a practical test tomorrow.

I was super confident that I can have a chance to get the hightest possible score possible.

That also goes with Sasuke without asking.

Well, in Naruto's case he wasn't even a bit convinced that he would even have a good score or even pass the practical test.

So, because of Naruto's lack of faith in himself Sasuke and I showered him all encouragements that we could think of.

From the way he look to the way he speaks and all other stuff like that.

Finally, after much coaxing, we finally convinced Naruto that he will pass the practical test tomorrow.

Sasuke and I grinned from ear to ear in victory.

So after much discussion on this by Sasuke we all decided to got home.

So we all went home like we used to.

Happily.

And hand in hand.

I really hope that this would always happen.

You know even when we grow up.

But meanwhile if it doesn't I'll just enjoy it while it lasts.

Hey! What am I talking about?

Of course this friendship of ours will last!

Forever and ever.............

-Sakura :)
