Room & Board
Ch 1 - Preparation.

Sakura-
Jade eyes snapped open as the alarm clock toned loudly on her the small table next to her bed. Stretching, the pinkette sat up and turned off the alarm. A quarter to 7 in the morning. She was already wide awake, excited about her first day of high school. And her last day of being at home. The particular school she was going to was a boarding school, and her parents couldn't be happier for her. It had been her goal to get into this prestigous school.
Getting up and dressed, she grabbed her suitcases and headed downstairs, into the kitchen. She wrote a note to her mother, saying that she would call as soon as she could. Heading out the door into the street, she started walking towards a double parked car. Her father had promised to drive her there, since where he worked wasn't too far away. She grinned at her father through the passenger seat window, and threw her bags into the back seat. Getting into the passenger seat and buckling, she kept her eyes-happy and excited-on the road ahead, as her father grumbled things to himself.

Sasuke-
A raven-haired boy sat up in his bed literally a second before his alarm clock sounded. Wincing at the sudden noise, he turned it off with an annoyed grunt. His onyx eyes scanned his apartment. Though he was only 14, he was perfectly capable of handling himself and living on his own. He had to be, since his brother went insane years ago and killed their parents. With a slight sigh, he got up and dressed. It was 7 o' clock in the morning, on the dot. Today was his first day of high school. Boarding school. He grimaced. Grabbing his bags and heading out the door, he stayed behind a moment, preforming the sign of the cross and tapping a picture of his parents lightly that stood on his nightstand.
He headed down and out of the apartment building, lugging his suitcase down the stairs, and put said suitcase into the back seat of the car service car that sat double parked and waiting impatiently for him. Getting into the back seat as well, he told the driver where he needed to go. He stared blankly out the window as buildings, parked cars, and an occasional tree flew by.

Naruto-
An alarm clock sounded. Repeatedly. From 7 o'clock to 7 thirty in the morning. The one who the alarm called for slept through it all. When he finally did wake up and saw the time, he litterally fell out of bed. His blue eyes were wide awake with surprise and slight worry, and quickly he fixed his blonde hair. Getting up and dressed in record time, he grabbed his suitcase-messily packed-and ran downstairs. He shouted a goodbye to his mother before running out the door. Still running, he caught a bus at the last minute, and headed straight towards his future. His first day of boarding school.

Sakura wheeled her suitcase into the great green yard in front of the large dormitory building. She smiled to herself, as it looked just as she imagined. She started walking again, and was nearly mowed down by a blone girl chatting on her cell phone. The blonde was tugging along about three suitcases, and was thoroughly frustrated that no guys would help a 'pretty girl like her' with her things. When she bumped into the pinkette, she turned to her and frowned a little. "You should watch where you're going." She said, somewhat rude, and witht that she tossed her head to look where she was walking, and she stopped dead. "I have to call you back." She said frantically into the hpone and hung up quickly.

The blonde was staring at a rather good-looking raven-haired boy, who was making his way towards the dormitory building. With an over-confident and flirtatious smile, she walked over to him, tugging her bags along. "Excuse me.. Could you give me a hand..?" She put on her best puppy-dog pout and eyes. The raven-haired boy had completely bypassed her, as if he hadn't heard or seen her. "Hmph! Talk about rude!" The blonde chirped, stomping her feet and crossing her arms since she had gotten what she wanted; him.

The pinkette began walking again and coincidentally, she headed the same way as the raven-haired boy. In the back of her head she told herself to say something. It was her first day and she had a bad reputation when it came to making new friends. By the time she got the courage, the raven-haired boy had disappeared into his dorm room. Finding herself somewhat lost, she checked the small peice of paper they had given her. Room 224. She looked at the door she was standing next to. Room 238. She headed down the hall, past the door the raven-haired boy had went through. His door was 230. After passing two more doors [they went by even numbers She found her room. Opening it, she found two beds, two dressers, etc. Obviously, she was getting a roommate. She plopped her suitcase on her bed and sighed, tired. She could tell already, that this place kind of intimidated her.
