Konoha College

Sakura groaned, and looked at her clock. She got up, did a double take and looked at it again. 7:30!! She had 20 minutes to get ready and get to school. She banged on the bathroom door, which her sister, Uma, was in.

"Uma! I have to get to the college before presentation starts!" Sakura was anxious. Uma and Sakura had moved to Konoha, because Uma worked here, and Sakura was going to the Konoha College of Arts. 'I wish I knew at least one person here.' Her best friends had applied for here and a college somewhere else, and they didn't get into Konoha. So she was all alone.

Hinata woke up a bit after dawn. She was in her friends' house, and today was her first day of college. Hinata had wanted to come to Konoha College ever since she was little. Tomorrow she would stay the dorms, but today, she was staying with Hoshi, who went to Konoha College.

"Hinata! Hurry up! We only have a few minutes left to get you to the orientation." She ran out of the bathroom, with a few minutes to go, and ran to her car, where Mom was waiting. She climbed in, and they rushed to the College.

TenTen looked at her watch. If she was late, she would be so mad. She needed the car, and since it needed gas, she had to pull over at the gas station. 'Moving to a new place, and with new people isn't the best thing to do, ever.' She thought as the car slowly filled up.

"Oh, you stupid car! I hope I'm not late." The machine beeped, and she ran to the car, got in, and zoomed away. The Konoha College sign was in front of her, and she drove into the student parking area. The college was REALLY big, and she had almost gotten lost, when she was touring it in 11th grade.

Ino rushed into the orientation room two minutes before everyone arrived. She liked to be early, so that she could make friends early. The first few people arrived in a gang, so she assumed they were friends. After trying to make friends with a Goth, who looked as if she would kill Ino if she talked anymore, she gathered her things, and sat down in the back, to wait for someone to say hi. 'Why is making friends always SSOOO hard.' She looked at the door, through which a girl with pink hair, and green eyes, had come through. She was wearing red, and black jeans, and a red top. 'I hope she's not another Goth.' Ino slid out of her desk, and went to say hi.

"Hi, I'm Ino!" Sakura turned. A girl with long, blond hair, a purple skirt, and white top was looking at her. "I'm Sakura. And before you ask, my hair is NATURALLY pink." Ino looked stunned at this weird introduction. Then she laughed.

"Well, I wasn't going to ask that, so I think that I'm fine. By the way, are you new here, or have you lived here? Because I need a tour guide for this place. It's SO HUGE!" Sakura looked amused. Ino seemed like a talkative girl. She listened to Ino talk for a minute, then linked her arm into Ino's and told her, "Since we're both new, I think we should stay together." Ino seemed happy, and she pulled Sakura to the back, where the desks were empty.

Hinata poked her head inside. 'Wow, there are so many people.' She was pushed from the back, as more people came in.

Hinata walked nervously towards the tables. Two girls came up to her. One had pink hair, and had red and black clothes on. The other had long blond hair, and she was wearing purple.

"Hi, I'm Ino, and this is Sakura. Come sit with us." Hinata nodded.

"I'm Hinata, by the way."

"Hi, Hinata. Do you live here?" Hinata shook her head. Her black hair tumbled down her face. "I live in the country, but I stayed with my cousins for a while. I'm staying in the dorms." "So are we!" they chatted for awhile, and then the door opened. A girl with buns, blue capris, and a white, with blue stars, tank top came in. She looked nervous. Hinata looked at the girls, and they got up.

TenTen fiddled with her lucky keychain. 'Stop worrying, and go say hi.' She walked towards the table of girls, and looked around. There were a few loners, but they looked like they wanted to be. Some people were already in groups, so she wouldn't bother them. She was too busy to notice that someone had come up behind her. Then someone tapped her and she whipped around. She saw a girl with pink hair, and a girl with blonde hair, and a girl with short, black hair.

"Hi, I'm Sakura! This is Ino, and this is Hinata."

"I'm TenTen." She smiled, and looked at her backpack.

"So, are you staying here?"

"Yeah, I just arrived yesterday." She looked at them. "Where are you from?"

"I'm from Chicago, Illinois." Sakura looked at the door while saying this. There was a boy in the doorway leaning on a desk. He had onyx eyes, and was looking at her. She glared at him, and turned back to the girls.

"I'm from Los Angeles, California." Ino flipped her blond hair, which hit someone in the face. She turned, said sorry, and turned back.

"I'm from Phoenix, Arizona." Hinata played with the book in her hands.

"And I'm from Miami, Florida. I wonder what Konoha is like. Do you think we get time off to go around, and see Konoha?"

"Probably. We get Saturday, and Sunday off." The bell rang, and they sat down, expecting a lecture from the principal. A woman came, and sat down. She had two blond ponytails, and a long shirt. She sat down, and looked at them.

"If you do not do well in this school, I will kill you!" The shocked girls looked at each other, and started to giggle. The principal looked very serious, and they couldn't help but giggle. Hinata giggled, and Sakura lunged at her, covering her mouth. The principal glared at them before talking again.

"My name is Tsunade. If you need me, come to the office. BUT I WON'T HELP YOU!!! Better to ask my assistant, Akiso. She'll care for what you do." A bell rang off somewhere, and Tsunade got up. She walked out, stopped and turned back.

"Oh, and you get today off to go out and enjoy the sights." She walked out, and the students burst out talking. The girls walked to the garage, where their cars were.

"Who's car are we going in?" Ino inquired, looking for the others' cars, although she didn't know they looked like.

"We can go in mine. I have a full gas tank, which takes too long to fill." TenTen lead them to the top level, in the sun and squinted at the brightness.

"There it is!" She pointed to it, and they ran to it. It was a blue car, nice smooth, a Porsche.

"I got it this summer, for grad." They got it, and zoomed out of the school. Ino, having came here before, told TenTen the directions to the Leaf Mall, a few miles outside of the university. When they got there, Hinata stared. The Leaf Mall was HUGE. There were lots of stores, and restaurants. They parked, and got out. TenTen locked the car, and they walked excitedly into the mall.

"There's a really cool café near here. It's called the Ring of Blue." The place was really cool. It was blue, and there was a bar, and lots of comfy chairs. They ordered food, and when they got it, started looking for a place to sit.

"Hinata! When d'you get here?" Hinata spun around. Sitting on a couch was her cousin, Neji, and he was waving at her. She looked at the girls. They shrugged, and walked towards Hinata's cousin. There were also three other boys there. One was the boy with onyx eyes, and he had black hair. There was also a boy with blond hair, a bored looking boy, and Neji, who had long hair in a ponytail. TenTen hung back. Last time she made friends with a boy, he had tried to rape her. Tried to. He was found almost dead the next morning.

"TenTen, come here! This food is good!" Ino waved her over, and she sat next to Sakura, and Neji. She reached for the food, and popped it into her mouth. This was really fun, chatting with her newfound friends.
