(A/N: Hello fellow readers of fanfiction! Here is another one of my stories that's been on my mind for a while. Now I've gotten off my lazy butt and typed it up. I put the genre romance and general. But as my other stories on my profile I usually do romance and humor. I couldn't decide on this one. So there'll be a mixture of humor, tragedy, friendship, and drama, I guess. Well, I've been a member of fanfiction for about a year now I think. So I'm not exactly a newbie. For future references I don't do beta or ask for betas because I just don't. So, yeah. Hope you enjoy my story! Review!)

The Skate Park

"This place is so boring." Sakura muttered.

She stared out the window into the streets which were empty.

'I've been here for a week and I'm already sick of this place.'

Sakura sat down on the edge of her bed. She glanced around at her almost-packed room. It was just recently painted a red color. Since that was one of Sakura's favorite shades. On her desk in the corner where her laptop lay, various clothes were scattered in some corners. To her left she had her bathroom. A nice room fit for a teenage girl. Now wasn't this girl satisfied? To say it simply, there was no one to hang out with. The only one was her mother. Shudder. Twitch.

Yes, Sakura had not made any friends yet in this neighborhood. Sadly, Sakura looked over at her picture of her friends. Her friends Sasume, Mayako, Kai, Kaori and Shien were smiling happily in front of her house. They were all skaters holding their boards in arms.

She smirked as she thought back to the day when her friends made a pact to skate not to become professional but just to skate as a passion. She slowly moved her eyes to her wall where her most prized passion laid, her skateboard.

She was a skater girl, as they would say and a very good one in fact.

'I haven't ridden my baby in over a week.'

The pink head held it in her hands and examined it.

On the back it was pink and red. And in capital letters it had 'Sk8r Gurl' printed. This was a going-away present from her best friend Kaori back at home.

'How I miss that place.'

"SAKURA!!!" A voice screamed.

Sakura literally threw her board across the room from being startled. Sakura ran downstairs to see what the issue was with her mom.

"Mom! Where's the fire? Why are you screaming?" Sakura scrambled out looking around for anything freakish.

Now, Sakura's mom has long, curly red hair and dark green eyes. She smiled at her daughter.

"Nothing's wrong silly. I just want you to go to the store with me!" Serena, as she's called walked towards the door. She looked back at her daughter.

"Come on! There's a big sale in this area!" Her mom scurried out the door.

Sakura sweat dropped.

"Oh, mother…" She slipped on her VANS and locked the door behind her.

She stepped into their little van and drove off.

"So, what do you think of this place?" Sakura's mom asked.

Sakura broke her gaze from the window.

"What do I think? I think it's freaking boring."

Sakura leaned against the window. Serena's face turned into a frown.

"It's not boring. It's only because you don't know anybody yet."

Serena made a left turn.

"Yeah, Yeah." Sakura said.

Soon the 'Quickie Mart' came into view. The two walked into the store quietly. Serena grabbed a basket. While she shopped Sakura walked beside her grumpily with her hands in her jacket pockets.

"Why did I have to come along?" Sakura asked while her Mom was deciding on which bread to buy.

"So, we can spend time together. We haven't really had a conversation all week." Serena plucked a loaf of bread and set it in the basket.

"I'm aware." Sakura said lowly.

Serena sighed. After a short while they were finally in line. Sakura watched as her mom placed the items on the revolver thing.

(Yeah, I don't know what it's called.)

She made no effort to help.

"Oh, Sakura I forgot the milk can you fetch it for me?" Her mother said examining the groceries.

"Sure!" Sakura said sarcastically. She walked over to the dairy section and reached into the refrigerator to get the two percent kind. (Yay! That's the kind I drink! Got milk anyone?)

Then, at the corner of her eye she noticed a group of guys all walking together. She turned to see a total of four guys with skateboarders in their arms. And she had to admit they were pretty attractive. She watched a lady about in her twenties noticed the guys and ran into a stack of toilet paper, thus spilling them everywhere.

'Ouch!' Sakura could feel the pain.

The guys didn't even notice they were too busy arguing over some drink.

'Hmm. A pair of hot-shot heart-pounding skaters eh?' (Ain't Canadian. Sorry.)

The one in the middle seemed to be the best-looking one of them all. He was pretty tall, raven hair all spiked up and stuff and onyx eyes. Another one had long brown hair tied in a low ponytail. He had some strangely pale eyes. Then one guy with blonde hair and blue eyes was saying something. And the last one wasn't really paying attention, it seemed. He looked half awake. The dude had dark brown hair ties in a spiky-ponytail and matching eyes. Sakura was so busy examining the guys' interactions she didn't notice herself in the middle of the aisle literally staring them down.

"So, dude do you know who your new neighbors are yet?" Neji asked curiously.

"I don't know. I haven't really looked yet. My mom says there's are a lady and her daughter." Sasuke said grabbing a Gatorade out of the refrigerator.

"She had a daughter? Do you think she might be hot?" Naruto asked eagerly and…loudly.

"I said I don't know. I wouldn't really care anyway." Sasuke replied.

"Hmm… that's interesting…" Shikamaru mumbled closing his eyes.

"Well did you hear about those other skater chicks around here?" Neji brought up.

"Who cares? Girl skaters aren't even welcome in our skate park so why does it matter?" Sasuke said sternly.

Neji shrugged. "Just saying. I heard they're pretty good. And they're also hot."

Sasuke turned back to the front of him. "Well come on we have to---

"Teme? Teme? Hey!" Naruto asked wondering why his friend stopped suddenly.

Sasuke was staring at the pink girl in front of him. They stared at each other. Sasuke raised an eyebrow. He turned back to his friends.

"Hey, who's that?" He signaled in front of him.

They guys all looked ahead but saw no one.

"What are you talking about?" Neji asked.

"Yeah, there's no one there, teme." Naruto stated.

"More like who was there." Shikamaru added.

Sasuke looked around calmly. "There was this pink haired girl just…standing there looking at me."

"Pink hair? Come on." Naruto said putting a hand on his shoulder.

"Yeah, dude I told you those tomatoes you're always eating are finally getting to you." Neji said.

"Come on. We still have to get to the skate park remember?" Shikamaru added.

They began walking to the front of the store.

Sasuke looked back at the spot where the alleged pink-haired girl was standing. He shrugged and followed his friends out.

"Tomatoes…" He shook his head again.

Sakura took a breath of relief in. She listened as their voices were out of ear shot. She cursed at herself for looking like some stalker-psycho girl in front a sexy skater boy. Then she remembered what the sleepy dude had said. There was a skate park somewhere in this town. And she was going to find it one way or another. If her mom would let her leave the house by herself, that is. She also remembered what the raven head had said.

Flashback

"Well did you hear about those skater chicks around here?"

"Who cares? Girl skaters aren't even welcome in our skate park so why does it matter?"

End of Flashback

'There are girl skaters around here? Finally I can have someone to relate to. But girl skaters aren't allowed in this park? Well that's just going to have to change.'

Sakura smirked to herself. This was a way to finally skateboard again and possibly make some friends. It was the only way to escape her oh so boring household and mother.

Then she thought for a second. 'Wasn't I supposed to be getting something?'

She looked down at the milk still in her hands.

'Oh yeah! I have to get this to mom!'

The teen ran up to the registers. She saw her mom talking to the cashier-who is a male!-. She stopped in her tracks as her and the man laughed. Her mom was surely committing the signs of flirting. Her mom was twirling a lock of hair in her fingers and to Sakura's dismay, blushing. Not just a light pink blush but a bright red.

Sakura scowled.

'She can't do this to dad.'

She stormed over to the line.

"Yes, in fact I have a daughter." Serena conversed to the man. Luckily there wasn't anybody else behind her or else there'd be a very long line. Sakura set the milk on the slider thing quite loudly, getting both her mother's and the gentleman's attention.

"And here she is! Sakura, this is—

"Yeah, yeah mom we have to go." Sakura interrupted swiping the item herself.

"I was just welcoming your beautiful mom to the neighborhood." Then man said innocently with a dreamy expression on his face. Serena blushed and of course Sakura noticed. She rolled her eyes and grabbed the groceries.

"Whatever."

And with that she pulled her mom out the door. She pushed her mom into the car seat, threw the groceries in the back and slammed into the drivers' seat. Serena sighed.

"What a charming man."

Sakura sucked her teeth loudly.

"Sakura, what's wrong? I know that expression on your face." Serena fished through her purse for the car keys.

"Well obviously you don't know what it means…" Sakura said under her breath.

"Excuse me?" Serena asked sternly.

"Nothing…" Sakura huffed and she turned away from her mother.

"Sakura." Serena called. No answer or even movement.

"Sakura! Speak to me know! Tell me what's wrong!" Serena hollered.

Sakura turned roughly to her mom. "You really want to know what's wrong. I'm mad that you're flirting with random men." She shot back.

Serena looked down at her lap.

"I'm mad…that you've forgotten about dad…" Sakura said in a lower tone turning back to the window.

"Look Sakura that—

"Can we just go home?" Sakura interrupted.

The woman stared at her daughter then started the engine. Soon the car drove out of the parking lot. There was a golden silence in the car.

Ever since about four years ago it's always been like this between these two. Fights here and frustration there. Not the regular happy mother daughter relationship families usually have.

Sakura's dad, Sasumo left their family for reasons Sakura couldn't quite remember. Whenever her mother talked to a male figure Sakura wasn't familiar with, it caused in arguments like this. Serena, getting tired of these trials, moved here (The Konoha Suburbs) in hope of gaining a better friendship with her beloved daughter. Cough. So far things weren't going exactly as planned.

Sakura still gazed out the window watching houses go by. She noticed that her mom had taken a different route. Looking ahead, Sakura noticed lots of kids-maybe teens- walking toward some place. All guys from she had observed. At the entrance it had a huge sign that read 'Konoha's Skate Park'.

'Oh my god! That must have been what those guys where talking about!'

The park was huge half pipes and ramps everywhere. A total skater paradise. A chance to make friends.

Serena noticed Sakura's body language change once they had passed by the park. She looked back at the road. To be honest, she wasn't fond of skateboarding. She didn't think that it's suitable for a girl. Sasumo, had taught Sakura how to board when she was 9 and she's been passionate about it ever since.

She frowned. One of the reasons why they barely talked in their old house was because Sakura was always out skateboarding with her friends. She detested the sport, if it is one. Even more, it hurt her that being mother and daughter that they never talked anymore.

In the next five minutes, they pulled up to the driveway. Sakura grabbed some groceries and set them down to the kitchen without saying a word. She sat at the counter as her mom walked in. Sakura remained silent as her mother started to put away the bags.

"Mom…" Sakura began.

"Hm?" Serena responded with her back to her while placing something in the cabinet.

"…Can I go outside…you know walk around the neighborhood a little bit." Sakura gave an uneasy smile.

Serena paused. She didn't turn around. "No."

"W-Why not!" Sakura shouted.

"Don't you raise your voice at me!" Serena shouted back turning around and looking her daughter straight in the eye.

"I know you're going to go to that stupid skate park." Her voice softened.

"It's not stupid mom! Being stuck in this in this house is stupid!" Sakura's eyes didn't leave her mother's.

"I said no. And what I say goes."

"But mom---

"I don't want you wandering around this neighborhood! We've only been here for a week!"

"…" Sakura crossed her arms.

"You're going to stay here, in this house." Serena pointed her finger on the counter.

For about three seconds Sakura stood there angry as can be.

"I just want---

But Serena didn't finish due to Sakura who ran out the room and up the stairs. She closed the door. (Not slam! But close!)

Serena sighed heavily. This was way too complicated between them. She sat down at the counter top.

"Teenagers…" She thought to herself.

Sakura jumped onto her bed and threw her head into her pillow.

"AAARGH!" She cried in frustration.

"Why must my mom be so over protective?"

Sakura sat up and thought back to the guys in the store who knew about the park. She then glanced at her Ryan Sheckler and Tony Hawk posters near her desk.

"Tony? Ryan? What would you guys do in this situation?" She asked.

In her mind Tony and Ryan look at each other and smirk. "Go to the skate park."

Sakura smirked, and then she heard her mom's footsteps coming up the stairs. Quietly, the teen pressed her ear against the door. She listened as her mom came to her door but stopped. Her mom froze and then walked back to her room and closed the door. Sakura could also her shower turn on.

This was a sign in which her mother said "I'll be in my room for the rest of the day and fix yourself something for dinner."

Sakura looked out the window once more. It was only three o'clock and if she could sneak out and be back by six for dinner it'd be great.

Sakura looked at herself in the mirror. She had on a red and white tank top that showed some of her stomach, pink midriff hoodie, jeans and Vans sneakers. She slipped on her black and white DC hat and grabbed her skateboard.

"I'm going out." She said to herself.

Sakura snatched her Sansa mp3 (The one I have:P) And blasted her song "Say This Sooner" by The Almost.

With that she crawled out her window onto her roof. She observed a tree right in front of her so she jumped, swung on the branch and skillfully flipped off.

"Looks like those four years of Gymnastics helped."

She hopped on her skateboard and was gone like the wind.

I can't believe I didn't say this sooner

I'll just believe that I was all displaced

I'll get to speakin' let you know how I feel

I'll get to judgin' make you see my appeal

No one will ever see things the way I do

No one will try

All my friends think that I'm gone

But I swear I, I swear I'm not…

I swear I'm not

A smile spread across Sakura's face as she felt the wind through hair. She closed her eyes at the pleasurable feeling.

'This is the life.' She thought happily.

This makes me feel that I'll never be quite normal

This makes me act like I'll never get out alive

I'll get to actin' make you all believe me

I'll get to fakin' show you all how to grieve

Sakura eventually slowed down to an intersection not really focusing on where she was going. She made a left.

She took off her head phones and observed the area. While looking to her left she spotted a library, pretty huge one in fact. Sakura enjoyed books, sometimes it even cooled her off from arguing with her mom. The teen skated to the beginning of the huge steps as the entrance.

Just then she heard the sound of a lady screaming.

Sakura turned to see a group of what seemed to be…skater girls?

The groups of girls were on their skateboards and seemed to be escaping from the librarian. One girl was in front of the others and she had long blonde hair tied in a ponytail that danced on her back while she glided. Another one had midnight blue hair and pale purple eyes. The last one had a smirk plastered on her face; she had her hair in two buns with a red cap tipped backwards. Sakura watched as they came closer to the huge staircase below.

"Don't tell me they're going to jump that..." Sakura said to herself.

Before Sakura could have a second thought the girls were up in the air. Sakura just gazed as the group flew practically over her head. As if in slow motion the blonde haired turned to Sakura and grinned. Then one after another they all landed gracefully on the ground.

"And no more skating on library grounds! I'll call the police next time!" The librarian screamed. She muttered some other things and stomped back inside.

The skater girls shrugged and gave each other high fives.

Sakura watched them and thought back to the group of skater boys in the grocery store. She remembered that they mentioned some skater girls in this town.

'Could they be the ones that guy was talking about?'

Sakura went so deep into thought that she didn't notice the blonde calling her.

"Hey!"

Sakura jumped and near fell over.

They began giggling. "Do you board?"

Sakura looked down at her skateboard. "Yeah!" She yelled back.

She watched as the blonde talked to her friends and they walked over.

"Hey what's up? I'm Ino." The blonde greeted. Sakura nodded.

"I'm Hinata. Nice to meet you." The dark haired girl shook her hand.

"Hey…Tenten's the name. And you are?" The brunette said monotone.

"I'm Sakura Haruno. I just moved here a couple of days ago. And that jump was totally awesome." Sakura said.

"Thanks. We were on the run from Mrs. Briggs the evil librarian. She's such a bitch." Ino commented.

Tenten and Hinata nodded.

"Wow. What'd you do to get her so mad?" Sakura asked.

"Apparently she says that we're not allowed to skate on the libraries property. But we skate here anyway since there's no where else for us to go." Tenten said making hand gestures.

Sakura nodded. "Oh well don't they have a skate park around here?"

They all got quiet. "Yeah…but we're not allowed."

"Well that's not right. I mean I'm heading to it right now."

They gasped dramatically. "You can't go there."

"Why not?"

"It's bogus! They don't let girls in!" Tenten shouted shaking Sakura's shoulders.

"We used to be able to get in but since these guys became like the best skaters in town they changed the rules so no girls are allowed in." Hinata explained.

"Well that's a bunch of palapa-shit. And I'm going to change that. Sorry you guys but I'm going there." Sakura walked off but Ino stood in her way.

"Hold up. You can't just go…by yourself." She smirked.

"Yeah, I mean you have to have back up." Hinata added.

"And the skate park's that way." Tenten pointed back to where Sakura had come.

Sakura sweat dropped. "Oh, thanks."

They nodded and with that they were off.

At The Skate Park

Our guys Naruto, Sasuke, Shikamaru and Neji were chilling on the half pipe. Naruto was skating on the half-pipe. He skated onto the platform.

"You guys…look bored." Naruto said studying each of his friends faces.

"Because we are." Shikamaru explained monotone. He stared up into the sunny sky.

"Come on guys let's do something. You're being more boring than usual." Naruto said sitting on the edge on the cliff.

"Okay well we can talk about you or we can laugh at you or we can talk about how big you're oversized head his." Neji said smartly.

Shikamaru and Sasuke snickered.

"That cut deep. Very deep, my friend. But I'd prefer we talk about how you should get a haircut. People are mistaking you for a girl." Naruto snapped back.

Golden silence-

Naruto simply blinked and Neji whacked him upside the head with his skateboard. Naruto fell off the half-pipe backwards and tumbled down.

"You're just jealous!" Neji shrieked.

They all laughed.

Sasuke looked up toward the entrance of the park where four people were entering. He glanced back at Naruto.

'Wait a minute…'

He looked back and noticed as everyone seemed to freeze and stare at the figures. He squinted his eyes.

"They're…girls." Sasuke growled.

Neji and Shikamaru walked over to him.

"Girls?" They responded.

Naruto climbed back up with a huge lump on his head. "Are they hot?" He asked.

"Doesn't matter. They don't belong here." Sasuke murmured.

Naruto just stared at him. "And you wonder why I call you gay at times."

"Well let's go inform them about the rules then." Neji said smirking.

Luckily, the guys didn't really recognize three of the four girls from the last time.

Sakura had to admit the stares were making her self conscious. But it was her desire to skateboard and that's what she came here for.

She shifted her hat to cover her eyes. Just before they walked in Ino suggested we put our hair in our hats. She said she didn't want them to recognize them. Sakura glanced at Ino who was smirking wildly.

A few boys tripped over their own feet just from glancing at her.

Tenten was grinning slightly while Hinata's face was unreadable.

"Let's do what we came here for." Ino whispered, her smirk never fading. We nodded. And they were off.

The boys walked over to the crowd that was watching these intruders intently. Sasuke manages to peek through. He gapes.

'The girl in the black and white hat she's…' (That's Sakura.)

Out of all the four girls, that one had to be the best. She was landing kick flips, Ollies, and aerials with complete ease. Sasuke glanced at his boys (no.homo.) who were watching with the same exact same expression. Sasuke continued watching as the 'black and white hat' did a 50-50 grind right past the crowd. He couldn't see her eyes since she was looking ahead. But, he could see her smirk.

'She's, she…could be better than me!" He thought.

He scowled at himself for being so distracted. This couldn't go on. He attempted to push through the crowd but it was impossible. They were totally frozen, like in a trance. All he could do now was watch these girls.

Sakura was on fire. She flew through the air landing almost impossible tricks.

From kick flips to

Heel flips

180s

360s

Heck, 540s

Back flips

Mc Twist

She had the crowd cheering after a while. Even Tenten, Ino and Hinata paused with and impressive grin. Sakura wasn't even close to done yet. She still had her moves she's been working on in free style. She did a tail manual and shifted her board upwards. With her board in that position she put her other foot on the other side.

'W-What? She can pogo on her skateboard? I didn't even know that was a move! Impossible!' Sasuke thought.

Sakura jumped up and down thus making the crowd to cheer wildly. Sakura ollied and began skating. She bent down slowly, keeping her balance. Yes, she was doing a handstand on her board while skating. The crowd went crazy.

Sasuke watched furiously. 'I can do that! Ch…'

Naruto, who was also in the trance-like state?

"She's awesome and hot." Naruto said quite loudly.

Sakura then glided into the skate bowl where the crowd followed. Ino came in as well. She gave Sakura a high-five as she passed. Ino grinds around the bowl right in front of the crowd. She flirtatiously blew a kiss to the guys. One guy totally fell out causing everyone behind him to fall as well, talk about domino affect.

Sasuke swore he caught Shikamaru blush just a tad.

Sakura and Ino skated throughout the bowl, occasionally giving each other a smirk.

Sakura flew up and managed to do an impossible. Ino followed up landing a 'Japan Air'.

Sakura suddenly paused. The crowd stared. Ino stopped and glanced at her.

Sakura was doing another handstand, but with a twist. She titled I upward and balanced on one hand. The crowd cheered intensely. Like, at a skate competition. While holding on one handed she felt her phone vibrate in her back pocket. She flipped down and pulled out her cell.

"Oh shit." She hissed once she looked down at it. Ino went over to her. Sakura pointed at the caller ID.

First, the time read 'quarter till five'. And second, the caller ID read… 'Mom'.

(So how was this first chapter? Great? Well I think its okay. My next chapter will be called Neighbors! It'll be here quick! Well I hoped you enjoyed this because there's plenty more to come! Make sure you hit the little 'submit review' button! Peace out!)
