She looked out the window of the bus, she liked focusing on the movement as it went from stop to stop. She always felt as if she could lose herself in it. She leaned her head into the window, as she contemplated what this day would hold in store for her.

This was probably her most hated part of a new school year. Not being used to having to wake up early, then having to bus to school. She could've walked for twenty minutes, but she would've much rather taken a three minute bus ride today. It was her first day, and she had decided she could spoil herself a little for once.

She was wearing track pants, with sneakers and a baggy shirt. Her hair was loose & up, she had glasses with no makeup on. Yeah, huge contrast from all the short, butt revealing skirts all the other girls wore. She would've tried to fit in, but their world's were so different she didn't even want to try. There really was no point.

Plus, she didn't think the whole 'cleavage' look would work so well on her.

Usually kids like her would never be found at Konoha High. She used to go to the poorer school near it, but her teachers suggested she switch schools to help her get a better education. She had potential, and Konoha High seemed like the perfect place to take advantage of it. The move didn't really affect her. Another school, another place she didn't fit in.

I never really did fit anywhere, now that I think about it.

As she got to her stop she started walking slowly. She was early, as per usual. She had her mind on her studies, there was no way she was going to miss an opportunity like this, her future depended on it. She sighed as she got into the courtyard. While everyone was enjoying themselves in their groups, she went right to class. Not like she had any friends to go to.

She kept her head down, trying to avoid getting anyone's attention when, of course, she just had to bump into the biggest bitch at school. Ino. Pig.

"Ew, did you just touch me Forehead!?"

"Ugh. What does it look like, idiot?"

Naruto stiffled a laugh while all the others either gave her dirty looks or didn't care at all. Sakura just put her head down and walked the other way.

"What a bitch." Ino snarled. Sakura didn't look back, she just ignored it.

It's not like Sakura wasn't pretty, she just didn't show it. She had bright green eyes that glittered and skin like silk. She was slim, but still had curves. If she had been in some other school, she probably would've been at least mildly popular, but this wasn't any other school. If you weren't rich, or at least if you didn't look like it, it didn't matter how pretty you were. You were still poor, and that made you a nobody.

It didn't matter what or who she would've been anywhere else cause here,

she was nobody.

Sasuke was usually quite, but today it was even more abnormal. He didn't even say anything in response to Naruto's idiotic outbursts. He just stayed silent, glaring into the abyss, lost in his own world.

"Teme, whats wrong? You're even more dead than usual." Snorted Naruto. And though anyone would've thought Naruto was just curious, if you read between the lines you could clearly see he was worried about his best friend.

"Hn, dobe." Replied Sasuke.

"Aww, are you upset about Itachi coming here?" Asked Tenten, genuinely concerned.

"Upset!? Why would you be upset about a GOD gracing us with his presence!?" Commented Ino, hearts developing in her eyes. She was the epitome of the perfect fan girl.

"It's not important wether Itachi's here or not." Grumbled Sasuke.

"My future husband!? UHH, yeah. That seems pretty important to me!" Screamed Ino.

"Ugh, troublesome." Muttered Shikamaru. Ino was obssesed with Itachi, Sasukes older brother. As were many, many girls. Sasuke had a lot of girls in love with him too, or infatuated might be a better word, but he didn't stack up to Itachi. No one did. It always got to Sasuke, that he could never live up to Itachi. Some would say he was jealous, and truth be told he was. But he would never admit it.

"Psh! Calm yourself Ino, it's not like Itachi would ever go for any girl in this school! Especially not you." Said Naruto.

This started a whole battle between the group, but instead of getting involved Sasuke just glared off into the distance, doing so even more angrily than before.

She slid the door of her LA class open. To her shock, Kakashi was there. But he was never there. He was late. Always.

But as she got a better look, she realized it wasn't him. It was probably a new co-op teacher. As he turned around, her eyes widened. He had black hair, and eyes like coal. He looked exactly like an older version of the school heart throb, Sasuke Uchiha. Except Sasuke would be labeled as unbelievably hot, while Itachi would be viewed as unbelievably sexy. A step up.

Plus, he seemed much less angry, which was a definite plus. As Itachi turned around, he analyzed Sakura. And in the brief moment that a smug smirk appeared on his face, Sakura truly saw the resemblance he held to Sasuke.

"Hi there. Nice to meet you, I'm Itachi Uchiha. I'll be helping out here at Konoha." He said with a smile.

"Nice to meet you too! I'm Sakura Haruno."She said with a big smile. She wasn't usually this friendly, but in his presence she couldn't help but do so. Luckily, as nervous as she was, she somehow managed to keep herself intact. Quickly she continued on as to not make it akward, "Sorry, but are you by any chance related to one of the students here? His name's Sasuke Uchiha."

"Aha, why yes. My little brother. You two are friends?" Asked Itachi, with a devious smirk once again on his perfect face.

Sakura replied with a stiff, "No. We don't talk."

"Really now?" And as he said this, he let out a low chuckle. "Good."

They started talking like old friends then, and got to know each other faster than Sakura had ever started to know someone before.

Finally, the bell rang, and Sasuke's stomach tied into a knot. First class of the day, the one with his brother in it. Really? School was the only place where he didn't have his brother to compare to, and now Itachi was taking the spotlight there too. Itachi had already ruined his day, and it was probably gunna ruin his year.

Don't get me wrong, it wasn't like Sasuke didn't love his brother. It was just he hated how his brother was better than him in everything. And he hated the way his father favored him, even though it probably shouldn't have been a big deal, considering his parents were never home. See, they were rich. And His dad ran one of the biggest businesses in the world. Since his business was global, most of the time his parents had to be as well.

As the whole class came inside, they all took their seats. No one was surprised that Kakashi was late, but what they were surprised about was that Itachi was. He was the talk of the school, everyone was waiting for his arrival. And from what they knew about him before he left Konoha High, it was that he was always on time. Always.

"I can't believe he's late!" Screamed Ino, clearly disappointed.

"ITACHI-KUN'S NEVER LATE! TIMES JUST EARLY." Screamed a fangirl. All the girls were in agreement on that one. But then they heard walking, and laughing. No one could mistake Itachi's laugh, but the other girly one beside him? It wasn't recognizable to any girls they knew. And it was true, none of them actually knew Sakura. As they opened the door, barely noticing the class due to the fact they were so deep in conversation, Sakura lightly slapped Itachi's chest.

"You didn't have to get me this! I wasn't even hung-"Stopped Sakura in mid sentence, as she noticed the whole class was staring. At her. She dropped her donut, and just stared right back. Until her eyes stopped at Sasuke. The other girls were glaring hard enough, but they paled in comparison to the one Sasuke was directing. Right at her.

Great, she went from having Sasuke and the whole girl population not even knowing she existed to have them hating her guts, in a matter of about, what? Two seconds?

Great. Yeah, her life was just great.

kinda shorttt, but its just a starrt (: review if you cann ;D .
