I Never Knew... 《ON HIATUS》

At Sakura's

(Name)'s POV: 

We were now in Sakura's car, talking about how life went over these past few months. 

"How's school Sakura?" I asked, turning on the air conditioner as it was starting to get stuffy. 

"Oh, school? Why do you ask? It's so horrible with the amount of homework they give. Why on Earth did my parents send me to a private school?" She replied, growling. 

"Haha, I mean all this work they give you is for a reason ya know. It's not just because they want to give you excessive amount of work" I said, emphasising the word 'want'. 

"Good point there.. But because of all the work, I don't get much time with Sasuke-kun.. I want to be with him more" She said, her eyes directly on the road, filled with sadness. 

"Aw! I'm sure he still loves you even if you don't spend time with him" I said, giving her a closed-eye smile. 

"Eh, well anyway (name).. When have you decided to get a boyfriend?" 

"SAKURA! I'm not like you.. I want to study, then we will see.. Plus, you know I already like someone" I said, looking down, fidgeting with my hands - not realising my face had gone fifty shades of red. 

"Alright, alright! Girl, you need to calm down when it comes to him.. When are you going to confess?" 

"I think... Never.. Look, I'm pretty much a nobody in my school, I get bullied and I'm pretty sure no one wants to date a victim of bullying.. Right?" 

"That is not true (name)! Anyway, let's change the topic... How come you're getting bullied all of a sudden?" She said looking into my eyes, worried. 

"I guess it's happened ever since you moved, I had no one to sit with. He would sit with his other friends, and you know about our school, if somebody has no friends, they're classified as a 'nobody'" I said, trying to hide away the tears that was coming from my eyes. Sakura looked at me as if she regretted something. 

"I'm so sorry... It was all my fault wasn't it? If I hadn't moved, this wouldn't have happened, right?" She said, her voice turned from loud to soft. It didn't even sound this sad when Sasuke used to ignore her. 

"NO! NO! Sakura! It wasn't your fault, it wasn't anybody's fault!" I said, I was close to shouting. 

"Alright, I guess.. Let me tell you one thing.. Actually, two.. Maybe three... Number 1, you have to confess to him, if you hide your feelings inside, you're not going to get anywhere in life.. Number 2, one day I'll move back from Kyoto to Tokyo and kick those bitches right in the balls! Number 3, stay confident and don't let anything and I mean ANYTHING hurt you... Okay?" She said looking at me straight in the eye. 

"Uh hehe... I don't know about the first one.. But sure for the second and third one!" I said, rubbing the back of my head, with a nervous chuckle. 

"Whatever, we're here!" She said. 

We got out of the car and walked towards her $billion mansion. Of course it wasn't a billion dollars, but it was close to that. She called that an 'apartment', this place is pure heaven. She fidgeted her Givenchy handbag, trying to find the keys to unlock the massive, doors. I sometimes wonder how I got such a rich friend, you'd probably think she would be one of those popular girls that those perverted boys drooled on, but she wasn't like that, she was the total opposite - except the fact that she did like Sasuke. 

We got inside the home, and I immediately saw Sakura's mom at the kitchen, running towards me - I guess she still remembers me. 

"(Name) sweety! It's you! It's really you! Oh my God, after so long! You've grown up so much, and you're soo much prettier! Not that you weren't before but you know! How are you?" Her eyes were filled with pure happiness. It hasn't actually been that long, it's only been a few months and I didn't know how I 'grew up' but whatever. 

"Well, hello there Mrs. Haruno.. It's nice to see you again.." I said. 

"Okay, since (name) is here, I'll prepare some foods she likes okay Sakura sweety?" She asked, chopping the tomatoes she was before. 

"Oh uh no no Mrs. Haruno... I'm really fine with anything uh hehe" I said rubbing the back of my neck, sheepishly. 

"Okay (name), but drop off that 'Mrs' whenever you say my name... I feel like I'm so old, I want to be young like you guys" She said, with a pretty sharp tone. 

"Mom, you're never going to go back to 16, you can maybe try to look like 16 by using that anti-ageing cream of yours.. But just saying, it's kind of weird" Sakura said, giving a hint of attitude to her mother. 

"Sakura, uh do you want to go to your room?" I asked, feeling a little awkward just standing there. 

"Oh yeah, come" 

We got into Sakura's room, and honestly, it was bigger than my house. She had a walk-in-closet about the size of my room and a bathroom that was the same size as my kitchen. 

"So, (name)... I really wanted to show you this.. I don't know if you remember but do you still remember this?" She asked, showing me a book with a picture of me, Sakura, Naruto and Sasuke. I remembered! It was our little album of photos of just me, Sakura, Sasuke and Naruto. I couldn't believe she still held onto it, I mean it's so old. I don't even think Naruto and Sasuke would've remembered this. 

"Omg, Sakura... You still have it... It was all great memories, it's sad that we can't re-live those memories" I said looking down at the ground. 

"Oh (name), how dumb can you be? Who on Earth said we couldn't re-live those memories" She said, giggling at the end. 

I just made my way to her bed and sat down. Those memories were awesome, beautiful and a ton of fun. I wished we could all be together again, that way, I wouldn't have been bullied, I wouldn't have been the 'nobody' I am today. I would've at least been 'somebody'. 

"Nah, I don't think so. I'm not even in touch with Sasuke or Naruto. Well maybe I can contact Sasuke through you, but there's no hope with Naruto" I said with a low tone of course. 

"(Name), he's in your school, don't forget that" She said, sitting down on the bed with me. 

"Yes, he is in my school.. But, he's one of the most popular guys in the school right now, he doesn't even remember me Sakura... And now, I have feelings for him, you know how hard it is to talk to your crush. Don't you, Sakura?" I said looking up at her. 

"Well, I guess I was more confident than you, but it never worked. I would end up 'annoying' him or something. But unexpectedly, we are dating now... So maybe if you gain confidence and go up to him, things might end up the way you want it to" She said, as she tried to cheer me up. 

"That confidence of mine is lost somewhere far, far away... Anyway, why don't you show me some of your clothes? I know you're really good with fashion, beauty and that sort of stuff. Maybe you could teach me?... Or not" I said, kind of waiting for a response. She looked at me with wide eyes, then her lips curled into a huge grin. 

"YES! What an awesome idea! I mean not to be offensive but you know absolutely nothing about fashion... I mean look at what you're wearing right now. I bet all the girls in your school wear way more fashionable outfits. Right?" Sakura asked. I thought about it for a while - she was wrong. The girls in my school wear the shortest skirts, and expose their chest - to get the boys' attention. 

"Well, not exactly. But you're right about me not knowing absolutely nothing with fashion" I said a little sheepishly. 

"Alright then! Time for a makeover!" She said, holding her Beauty Blender and Chanel foundation - honestly, I don't even know if that's my shade.
