The NOT So Average Jane

Haruno Sakura:

"Have you seen the new girl?" a prep asked her friend.

"No, but I heard that she got expelled from her last school."

"She's got pink hair!" the prep now has someone behind her glaring down her neck making her hair stand up. "She's right behind me isn't she?" Her friend noded with shock and terror in her eyes.

"I have a name you know." the pink haired girl said coldly."Haruno Sakura and don't you dare forget it." she said gabbing the girl in front of her by her collar and throwing her down. The girl noded all the color draind for her face.

Sakura herself had scrach across her left cheek, probably from a fight she got in the night before. She was wearing combat boots, lots of eye liner and eye shadow, long jeans that were worn and frayed, and a camo. tank top. She had her hair pushed back with a head band, but the thing that caught most peoples attention was her long pink hair. They always wondered if it was genetic or if she had it dyed it that color, but that conclusion was highly unlikey, Sakura didn't have the money to dye her hair.

Sakura didn't take crap from anyone, and certainly didn't from boys. They always think they're stronger, better, and smarter, but they're really just babbling idiots who think they're better than anyone and everyone.

Sakura had this air of arrogance. One thing that she hated about herself was she was too stuborn to get a boyfriend, and oddly enough thats what she truely wanted at this piont in her life, but she wasn't about to sacrafice her reputation for a chance at love (once again way to stubborn).

As Sakura walked down the hallway trying to find her new class room, she could feel the words of gossip dancing around her ears. Sakura hated gossip and therefore she hated all who started gossip.

"Nice hair, pinky." a boy snickerd walking past her just trying to get attention from his friends. and as usual he got what he wanted and as usual she punched him in the stomach. as usual he did back down, like the many others boys she had punched at her old shcools.

"Whats wrong with you?" the yellow haired boy asked holding his stomach, "people don't just punch other people in the stomachs because someone said something about them. Normally most people just fire a vebal blow back at me." Sakura was stunned by his reaction, but she wasn't about to let this flock of idiots know that.

"Well I'm not most people" Sakura said and walked off.

"Then who are you?" he asked as if he was interested in her, but still had a torn anger in his voice.

"Haruno Sakura" she said, and walked class just to meet more scowls and sneers.

"What was that about?" asked one of the blonde boys groupies.

"Weren't you listening you idiot." another one said.

"She's kind of cute, don't you think naruto?" one of the groupies asked the blonde boy.

"Yeah real cute." naruto said with a scowl on his face.

Ironicly Naruto had the same class as Sakura. He did think she was pretty, but what was with the attitude. she was agressive and frustrating.

"Oh, great your in my class!" some annoyed blonde girl said sitting next to Sakura. "as long as were in the same class, I might as well introduce myself I'm Yamanaka Ino."

Great queen-b to deal with! "Do you think I care?" Sakura replied her head on her desk. She hadn't slept to well the night before and wasn't in the mood to have a cat fight. A corus of gasps sounded around Sakura.
"No." Actually Ino didn't know why she sould care. People always worshiped her for her natural beauty so now she had the feeling that it might change this year.

"Okay then, leave me to sleep in peace." Sakura stressed with her eyes closed and head down on the desk.

Sakura opened her eyes feeling someone hovering over her head.

"There will be no sleeping in my class Ms.Haruno." the person above her head said.

"You're not the teacher, and in about five seconds you're going to ask how I knew that so I'll answer that now, I was given a tour. Idiot." Now this was a surprise to Sakura that someone was stupid enough to pose as the teacher, and to test her.

"Damn, what school did you come from?" the idiot boy asked.

Sakura hadn't given him a second glance and now once again had her eyes closed trying to sleep.

"Didn't... I was..um..homeschooled, after and before I moved here." No one had asked her this question before. She could feel the whole classes eyes on her. It was the great secert of Haruno Sakura. "Who might be asking me this?" Sakura now interested in who he was. She was looking him up and down and he wasn't half bad looking. He had a blue shirt on, shorts, and nice black hair. He had dark intense eyes that made Sakura feel like she couldn't keep anything from them. He was pretty hot in Sakura's book.

"Uchiha Sasuke." he said and walked away.

Sakura felt her face start to turn red so she hid her face in her arms on her desk.

"Oh! Sakura's blushing!" Ino said, but it was to late Sakura had already drifted into sleep.

"You know she's kind of cute, Sakura I mean." Naruto said to Sasuke.

"Yeah she is, but she's so...different." Sasuke said looking at the sleeping cherry-haired girl.

"Yeah, it's nice to finally have a girl in this school that doesn't drool everytime they see us." (they're some of the number one hotties) Sasuke noded not taking his eyes off Sakura.

Sasuke had to admit he did like that she was different from all the other girls, but he didn't like how she always was on the gaurd even when she was falling asleep.

I wounder why she's so defensive all the time. Sasuke thought.

"Okay, Okay, enough chit-chat lets get started on todays lesson. Everyone move back to your seats." commanded the teacher as he walked into the room.

Naruto was sitting behind the still sleeping Sakura. So he felt responsable for waking her up. He proded her in the back, hoping that would be enough to wake her up. Ofcorse knowing Naruto's luck it didn't work. Sakura is going to hate for this. Naruto thought.

Sakura's neck was exposed to Naruto, so after doing a double take on making sure no one was looking at either of them. Naruto reached his finger out and brushed it back and forth across the back of Sakura's neck.

Out of the blue,"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA" came from Sakura's direction. Everyone attenion was now on Sakura. "Erm, carry on with the lesson. Hehehe."

Everyone was staring at her. Sakura felt her face start to blush.

"Alright people back to history. Ms. Haruno, there better not be anymore laugh attacks in my class." The whole class laughed at Sakura, then went back to their studies.

Sakura turned around to find an idiot with a bloody nose and frowning. Sakura was so confused, someone had done the bidding of inflicting pain on Naruto for her. Naruto had his thumb pointing toward the seat to the left of him. She looked to the left of him to find a dude with pale eyes, well that's a new feature, she thought. And once again he was pretty hot. Curse this school and it's population of good genes. Now she doesn't even get to hurt anyone now. So she started to channal all her anger toward pale eyes.

Sakura had a bad feeling that things were going to get better and worse, more worse.
