In Your Eyes

Chapter One : Michael Jackson!
"OH SHIT!" I screamed as I woke up from the beeping of my alarm clock. There really was no reason I had just become accustomed to screaming out random swears when it rang, lets just say I'm not the most "Punctual" person in the world.
"Sakura Haruno!" my mother yelled up from the bottom of the stairs "If I hear you swear one more time your grounded for a week!"
"Yeah whatever..." I mumbled, swinging my legs over my bedside and turning off the obnoxious beeping.
I walked up to my mirror to see the hell that I would be dealing with this morning. I had fallen asleep on my wet hair last night and I expected it to be anything but manageable.
It was worse than I thought. Nothing a straightener couldn't fix though! I combed through various types of knots in my hair, I could swear to god I had combed through a few bowline and square knots, how that occurred, I do not know.
I then got dressed, I chose a pair of regular blue jeans, a black tank top and a brown hoodie that I zipped halfway up. Turning to the mirror I decided that I looked alright.
I slid down the banister, as I always did. Mom screamed at me for it , as she always did.
I grabbed a slice of toast from the table that my brother was eating at ramming it into my mouth, I grabbed the glass of orange juice from in from of him, took a big swig washing everything down and was out the door in three minutes.
"Hey!" he protested, but it was too late I was halfway down the street by then! Looking down at my watch I decided that this pace was still not quick enough and I began to sprint through oncoming people. I was at least one and a half kilometers from the school and if anyone got in my way I was going to be late, after all my clock read 8:24 and school starts at 8:30.
I checked my watch again, not that I have OCD or anything ...8:26 and I was three quarters of the way there, I might just make it! That's when my world came crashing down, down and down and down. I hit the ground in fact! No seriously, I hit the ground. My books went everywhere, my dignity went somewhere ( I misplaced that awhile ago...) And my dreams of making it to school at a decent time were demolished.
I looked up at the culprit blinking as he steadied himself and then held out a hand for me to grab, a latched onto it like Michael Jackson to a pre-pubescent boy and pulled myself up. I took a good look at the kid. Dark hair, good complexion, And the most beautiful onyx eyes I have ever seen. I continued to stare for a few moments.His lips moved but no sound came out.
"Are you alright?" He asked again sounding out every syllable as if I was disabled.
"Uh... yeah, I'm fine" I replied.
I picked up my books and began to walk to school. I looked behind me as I heard footsteps. He was following me! I quickened my pace, 'Fuck fuck fuck please don't be a rapist...' I thought. I looked down at my watch 8:32. Yup! I was late again!
But I had other things to worry about, such as this wannabe child molester that's following me into the alley that I expected to loose him in. ' Good idea Sakura! Lead him into a dark alleyway alone with you where there is no hope of anyone hearing you scream bloody murder!'
I looked behind me. Okay this was really starting to creep me out! What are the chances that two strangers could be going down the same alleyway?
I swung my whole body around and held up a fist to the pervert.
"Are you following me? Are you going to rape me? What are you doing?" I screamed all at once, it kinda sounded like " frishohaojrlsuruosl"
"What?" He cocked his head to the side, confused. "Well I'm certainly not going to rape you..."
"Then why are you following me?" I asked hands on my hips.
"I assumed you were headed towards Konoha high," He replied "I just moved here from Suna."
"Well, I'm not headed to konoha high!" I shot back.
"Oh alright then, I thought you were considering your wearing a backpack and that it's the only school even remotely near to this district, but I guess I was wrong, now if you would mind school started 23 minutes ago and I don't care to be late for my first day!"
"Hey wait!" I yelled to him as he turned his back."If your looking for konoha high, I guess I might be able to walk you there."
He turned around and nodded.
I nodded back as we began to walk to school. I had a feeling this was the start of a beautiful friendship...
