"Let's make a bet." These words had a deeper meaning than she would care to admit. Her entire life depended on it. She wanted to win, no matter what results would bring their little mind game.

I do not own Naruto/Boruto or the characters in it, all rights go to the Masashi Kishimoto&Ukyō Kodachi. However, I do own the plot of this story! Any ties to real life events or people are completely coincidental. This story is absolutely fictional.

Why do you express your feelings? Is there a proper way to do it?
These were questions that occupied her mind. In the past, present and the future. She had no idea what's the best way to communicate how she feels. It was harder to do with people closer to her heart.
Sarada stays calm, regardless of the situation she finds herself in. School newspapers and the rumours say so. A lot of them were strange gossip that had an association with her family. She learned to ignore what they said. It wasn't worth her time.
Mr. Shino Aburame was one of her favourite teachers, but it didn't change the fact he's a ghost to the students. That's why she wasn't surprised everyone left the classroom, in a hurry. She wasn't an exception, storming through the crowds to find herself at home one hour later.
In the safe space of her room, the worries overtook her. An inner turmoil caused by one rumour didn't leave her mind.
To calm down, she opened up the notebook that she received from her father. The content of it had the rules that allowed her to regain the composure. A very well thought out, precious birthday gift from him. Inside of it were four rules that helped Sarada to survive the first year of high school. She memorised these rules and their order.
That's details of the contents inside:
Rule number one:
Always maintain your poker face. In any situation, you find yourself in. Especially facing rumours, or being confronted by them. If you're Uchiha — you don't care about them.
Rule number 2:
Idiots are idiots, but since you're the Uchiha, you can't be one.
Rule number 3:
When you have a goal to reach, you reach it, despite what others may think. Ah, and never lose to someone else. No matter what.
Rule number 4:
Looking for a boyfriend is prohibited. Focus on your dreams. Guys are just an unnecessary waste of space, as well as your time.
The four golden rules that her papa has written inside this pink notebook. Even if rule number four went a little overboard, Sarada considered it the best birthday gift she ever received. Helping her to pull through the hardships she went through. She should be happy, right?
However, she didn't feel any happiness at all.
Behind the red glasses, her eyes suffered from the lack of sleep. A middle-length wavy hair isn't tied up nicely as usual. Her pale skin makes her appear to be like a zombie, not a high school girl. Only the black colour of her eyes and hair showed she's Sasuke Uchiha's daughter. The dishevelled appearance was out of ordinary for Sarada. It means an upcoming apocalypse since she's an honour student.
Why?
Why is this stupid rumour about her mother spreading around?
Sarada was aware it's just a stupid rumour, she knew the gossips are a natural part of life. But her worries didn't stop. She was anxious about the whole issue surrounding her mom.
She's an Uchiha. She should follow the mentioned rules and ignore these high-tales. Her mind just naturally drifted to question them, planting a seed of doubt everything is truth. Not a baseless lie.
Why do you express your feelings? Is there a proper way to do it? What you'll do by following a set of rules? Are you trying to find happiness applying them to yourself?
There are so many questions, but so little answers that can satisfy her. And the most important question of them all;
What should she do, if she's close to breaking one of those rules?

Hello, everyone!
It's my first published story on Wattpad. First of all, it is the BoruSara High Shool AU fanfiction, since I like this ship and want to write the high school story with "Boruto" characters at the centre. English isn't my first language, so it can contain some mistakes!
The purpose of this story for me is to practice writing in English. I already outlined the entire plot for this story a long time ago, so I just want to convey it in the best way I can. :) New updates should be coming soon! Yeah, introudctions always sound awkward for me, especially when I'm introducing myself. xD
AN Edit 1 - The feedback I received is astounding! Thank you for everyone in the Lavender and the Pearls book club. I take the feedback to heart and am currently working on the base for the first editing process!
AN Edit 2 - Probably some of you noticed, but the Prologue is edited. I tried to follow an advice I was given, yet at the same time retain the original vibe of the story. Graphics were also made by me in Canva. :D
You can look forward to some additional scenes in early chapters too! Soon, I guess, since so far I finished editing only the few chapters that aren't ready to post right now, haha.
