Sakura sighed as her backpack fell of her shoulder creating a soft thud to occur under the large tree behind the school. After a long day of work and drama, her mind shut off as she leaned against the base of the tree slowly closing her eyes. As of tomorrow she will be showing around one of the new students within her grade but Sakura wished for anyone else to have taken the chance so she could just rest and not have to run around checking that all the rules and regulations were being followed. She was no student president or the smartest in the school but to have things in order made her life better with all the chaos that whirled around in her home to have school perfectly in one piece was worth everything. Sakura took a deep breath and willed her eyes to open and look up into the tree; she saw a twinge of red with in it but ignored it as she readied herself to make the departure home.
"SAKURA-CHAN!" Exclaimed a rather hyper blond running towards her at the speed of light, to be honest she wouldn't have been sure if it weren't for the voice calling out her name Sakura would have believed it was another student Mr. Gai recruited into loving sports as much as him.
"Naruto, what have I said about your constant screaming out in the open, I do enjoy the silence every once in a while." Sakura sighed out as she slapped him over the head once he was next to her.
"But Sakura-Chan this is really important," Whined Naruto as he held the back of his head with his toothy goof-ball smile gracing his lips. "The new kids are coming to visit the school right now, they're gonna be here soon and Mrs. Tsunadae wants you to go up and greet them."
Sakura sighed as she picked up her bag and headed up to the school pausing for a moment at the door, 'if I left right now I may be able to get home and hide before she notices.' She shook her headed and pulled open the door softly walking as light and slow as possible to the she reached the office door Sakura noticed a few kids standing around it completely disobeying the dress code completely, her right eye twitched a little at the infractions. Taking a deep breathe in she moved to open the door and escape from the chaos when it swung open hitting her in the face causing her to stumble backwards a bit. The three standing outside the door looked over at her as the one that opened the door gasped rushing to Sakura.
"Oh I am so sorry Sakura I didn't know you were right there, are you okay? Does your head hurt at all?" Mrs. Tsunadae rushed out as she looked over her student for any serious injury; Sakura opened her eyes rolling them at her.
"I'm fine Ms. Tsunadae," Sakura sighed out trying to remove the ladies hands away from her. "I'm fine I mean it, Stop it Tsunadae!"
"Sakura, don't use that tone with me!" Hissed out Ms. Tsunadae before she removed herself from the girl and out of the way, Sakura looked up to the three major infraction students watching her. Sakura took the chance and began to look over them. The tallest one on the left wore a black hoodie, red jeans with chains all over them and black tennis shoes, his hair a light brown tousled all over the place with a black beanie covering a bit of it, his eyes highlighted with purple eyeliner that matched the purple triangles on his cheeks. The second tallest on the right wore a very short purple skirt with fishnet stockings and black high heeled sandals, her top light purple top barley covered above her belly button which held a skull piercing, her dirty blonde hair pulled and spiked into four ponytails and her eyes highlighted with black eyeliner and an eyebrow piercing with a similar skull as the one attached to her naval. The third one Sakura finally looked at had blood red hair covered by a black beanie, a kanji tattoo above his left eyebrow, black completely surrounded his eyes like a panda, his lips held up in a smirk contained snake bite piercings, his clothes consisted of a black t-shirt and red jeans that held about ten chains.
"Oh right Sakura these are our new students and I was wondering if you'd be kind and show them around the open parts of the school before you head for home?" Tsunadae asked softly, though Sakura knew it wasn't a request but a demand.
"Of course, I'll show the around, anything to help out the school." Sakura said as she forced a smile on to her lips. Tsunadae nodded as she headed back into the office, Sakura turned around and motioned for them to follow. "Let's just get this over with."
"Well aren't you just a ray of sunshine pinky." A cold deep voice called out to her, Sakura froze at the sound.
"Listen I just want to go home, so could we please get this over with." Sakura sighed out, not even bothering to wait for an answer she began to give a simple description over the area they were in, pointing out classrooms and saying what they taught. She slowly took them to the other parts of the school and once they reached the commence area Sakura looked at them again. "So I think that's everything you need to know for your first day."
"Well hang on a sec there pinky aren't you going to ask us any questions?" The red head grunted to her looking at her with that stupid smirk again. Sakura merely shrugged and walked out the front door taking her time to go home, completely ignoring the stares and odd looks she received as she readjusted her bag back.
Sakura slowly made her ways up the stairs to her house; grabbing the keys out of her bag she opened the door before closing it and locking it again. 'Grandmother won't be home till late anyway' she thought to herself before heading into the kitchen to make a snack and get a drink. Sakura grabbed the makings for a simple apple and peanut butter snack and a cup of orange juice before sitting at the dining room table. As she ate her snack she went through all the homework she has to do for the night and what could be put off for morning. 'Obviously math will have to be done tonight but maybe English can be put off till morning, it is just a simple hundred word essay over the recent short story read in class.' Sakura sighed gathering all of her homework for tonight after she cleaned up her snack and laid it out on the dining room table and began to work on it.
A few hours had passed by the time Sakura finished her work and decided to make dinner when there was a knock on her, Sighing she made her way to the door standing on tiptoes to who was there but all she saw was a shade of blonde. She unlocked the door and opened it to be greeted with a pie shoved in front of her.
"Please accept this as a greeting from your new neighbors." A young woman's voice said as she bowed her head, Sakura looked at her as she took the pie out of the woman's hands recognizing those blonde pigtails.
"Please stand up and thank you but isn't it usually the neighbors that are supposed to bring the new ones something?" Sakura questioned, watching the blonde shoot up into an upright position.
"It's you!" The blonde shrieked pointing at Sakura before laughing a little bit. "I guess you're right but in our case I feel it'd be better for us to give something instead."
"Well would you like to come in, I would like to get to know our new neighbor." Sakura offered as she moved out of the way for the girl, the woman hesitated in the door way before walking in. "My name is Sakura by the way, may I ask what yours is?"
"Oh my name is Temari." She said as Sakura shut the door gently, before leading Temari over to the dining room table as they sat down she put the pie on the kitchen counter. "So about why I brought the pie over, my younger brother has a bit of a temper and we've had to move a bit so it's kind of like an apology pie for whatever he is going to do."
"Well whatever he's going to do he better watch out for my grandmother, I swear she could strike fear into Satan himself." Sakura said, both girls started to laugh at that for a few minutes. The two girls began to talk about random topics for about an hour before Temari's phone began to ring. The older girl sighed out as she answered it.
"Yes?" She said as she answered it, Sakura couldn't hear the other side of the conversation but the annoyed look on the older girls facial features made her worry a little. "Alright I'll be home in a couple minutes, tell him to put it down and we'll figure something out when I get there." Temari hung up the phone looking at Sakura with a tight smile gracing her features. "I'm sorry Sakura but I need to go my brother is having a problem, I'll see ya around."
Temari rushed out the front door as Sakura sighed getting up and locking the door again before she headed to the kitchen to make dinner. She pulled out the makings for pizza and began the preparations, after she finished eating and cleaning up Sakura headed for the living room. Once placed on the couch a long sigh was released from her lips at the comfort of the soft cushions, she reached over for the remote and turned on the T.V. slowly falling asleep on the couch not a care left in the world at that moment.
