I was bored and am writing yet another fanfic. At this rate, people will just be getting half of a fanfic. I will try to finish some of them when i have some reviews...
This is a highschool romance... pairings are GaaSaku, NaruHina, NejiTenten, ShikaTema, KankuIno, and maybe SasuKarin? i'll see what i feel like :))

Disclaimer: Seeing as this is a fanfic, i don't know how i could own Naruto. if i did own Naruto this wouldn't be on a fanfiction website...

A young boy was heard running through the dark alleyways and twists of the back streets in Konoha. Other footsteps pounded behind him, growing closer and louder with every step. Screaming was heard through the village, as the young boy was being hunted. The boy in question was not weak, or fragile- he was one of the popular people at Konoha High school. But any boy would be scared of pursuers chasing in the dead of night. A girl from his school noticed the figures wisp past in the night, and followed them, as they cornered the boy in a dead end. Her pink hair bobbed as she silently ran towards them and hit them unconscious with her fists. The boy was shivering in fear, as he recognised the pink haired saviour.
"Haruno? Haruno Sakura?" he asked shakily. Sakura turned her head to face the boy, and he saw blood lust in her emerald eyes. He found himself in more fear of this girl, who was in the same year as him, to be so inhumanly strong. His footsteps could be heard echoing off the walls, once again, but this time, no-one was following. Sakura sighed. She had been trying to avoid this. Trying to avoid being discovered by the school. She had stayed in the shadows, not interacting with anyone unless necessary- yet she had just blown her cover, and suppressed fear into her school. She knew that tomorrow she would be avoided even more than usual, now that her secret was out. She knew that she would receive looks of fear and disgust as whispers from colleagues reached her ears. A tear almost reached her face, as she cracked the wall nearby with a punch. She was going to have to live through hell once again.

Sakura walked through the school doors, and it seemed as if everyone went silent. People parted, whispering in fear. All eyes were on her, casting glances of disgust. As Sakura walked past with her head bowed, she didn't notice that some of the looks were not negative, but were looks of pity and sympathy. The owners of the eyes that showed even a little kindness belonged to a group of friends. They all felt sorry for Sakura, and agreed that they would have to go and comfort her, and try to make friends with her. As the bell rang, Naruto, Shikamaru, Temari, Kankuro, Gaara, Tenten, Neji, Hinata and Ino all went their separate ways to class. They would insinuate their plan at lunch.

Sakura noticed that even some of the teachers held an expression of fear while she walked to her art class. At least Kakashi won't hate me- i hope. He's so absorbed in that porn book that he wouldn't really care about something like that; would he? Whatever happened, he would be late enough for her to have settled down enough to not need to draw attention. She readied her canvas, and continued the project she was working on. The class' assignment was to draw a beach landscape. Sakura wasn't particularly amazing at art, but she could paint, which was good enough. Sakura dipped her brush in the white and started outlining the waves on her painting. She was so immersed in it, that she didn't notice the bell go. At the end of the lesson, she decided that she would keep her head down and not say anything. She would stay out of absolutely everyone's way, so as to not draw attention. And this is what she did. The day moved on slowly, and Sakura barely paid attention in class. At lunch, she sat at an empty table and picked at her food gloomily. The constant buzz of the students echoed around the room, and Sakura picked out a few words from the conversations going on around her. "Haruno" "Freak" were the two main words she heard. Tears pricked at her eyes once again, as she slid lower in her chair, trying to hide from the school.

(From Sakura's point of view)

A shadow darkened the table, and I looked up to see a blond boy with bright blue eyes grinning at her.
"Hi! Do you mind if we sit with you?" he asked, not waiting for an answer. He pulled a bowl of ramen off of his tray as he sat and started slurping at it. I was about to ask what he meant by 'us', when some people sat at the table with him. A brunette with two buns in her hair sat on my left, and a blonde with four bunches sat at my right. I stared at my food, trying to seem oblivious to them, but the blonde suddenly spoke
"Hi there! I'm Temari! Nice to meet you!" i nodded at her with a small smile on my face. "This is Shikamaru, Kankuro, Ino, Naruto, Hinata, Gaara, Neji and Tenten." she said, pointing at each in order. I looked around at all of them, and quietly said "Hi. I'm Haruno Sakura." with a small wave. As my eyes wondered over the boy called Gaara, I gazed at him softly. He was a handsome man. Red hair, and light blueish-green eyes. On his forehead was a tattoo of the kanji for love. I blushed as i realised he was staring back at me, and i reverted my gaze to the others. I somehow managed to slip into conversation with them easily. They somehow felt like old friends, and i smiled and laughed with them, ignoring the conversations about me going around in the room. After lunch i felt quite content, and i managed to smile through the rest of the day.

The bell rang to signal the end of the day, and i exited the class with the same aura of glee that i obtained at lunch. I spotted Naruto waving at me in the school parking lot, where he and his friends were huddled round a car. I walked up to them with a wide grin on my face- almost enough to match Naruto's grin. 'Hi's and 'hey's went around the group, and one greeting of 'hey billboard brow' rung through my ears. I responded with "Hey guys! Hey Ino-pig." i smiled at Ino, as we exchanged the nicknames we made for each other at lunch. They carried on with the conversation that they had before, talking about a party to say Happy Birthday to a boy called Kiba. I realised that he was the missing member of the group, and tried to follow the conversation, but not saying anything since i didn't know the guy. As if Hinata read my mind, she mumbled out that I should come along to the party to meet him. They all agreed at the suggestion, and i decided that i should. If the school hated me, it would be better to have friends to fall back on. I agreed with a smile, and the group said goodbye and scattered across the car park. I headed for the motorcycles, to find my black and electric green bike, i smiled again, and strapped on my helmet. I turned around to see Gaara, doing the same with black motorbike.
"You drive a motorbike?" i asked.
"hn." was his reply. I decided not to pester him, and mounted my bike, revving the engine. To be completely honest, i found bikes far too loud, and not good for shelter, but i loved the feel of the wind whipping through my hair. I would still prefer a car, but seeing as i could never pass my driving test, i gave up on cars.
Maybe you gave up too fast. You're still only 19. My inner Sakura told me. When i first heard her, i thought i was mad, but i had learnt to live with her inside of my head.
Maybe... i replied, not in the mood for crashing into a car in the queue to the gates.

I got home eventually, and fell onto my bed as soon as i got into my room. I sighed. My apartment that was attached to my parents house was empty. My dad had decided that i needed privacy, and he also told me that he didn't want my waking him up with my movements in the day. He worked night shifts, so he was always asleep during the day. I liked having my own place. I sighed into my pillow, after pulling on some pyjamas, and fell asleep.

TA DAA! please review :)
