Chapter 1: The New Kid

-Yawn- As soon as Sakura Haruno woke up and rubbed her eyes, looking out her bedroom window. It was a bright and sunny morning, and today's the last day before March Break! Sakura was incredibly happy because of this. Everything seems cheery, the weather was perfect and birds were cheeping joyfully outside her window.

"Sakura!!" her happy thoughts were quickly interrupted when her mom called her. "Hurry up, school's in 5 minutes!"

Ooops...She had overslept again. Throwing off her bed covers and changing out of her pjs, she put on a light red skirt and pink deep V shirt, (with lace tank top underneath) and ran down stairs. Since the emerald eyed teen was already running late, she just grabbed an apple and bag and ran to school.

She had just arrived, breathing heavily as the bell rang. As soon as she entered her homeroom, she was greeted by her one of her best friend. "Morning Sakura-Chan!" shouted the hyper-active blond. Sakura smiled at Naruto and sat down beside him. He had started rambling on, but she got distracted as soon as she saw the new student walk in. He had dark bluish-black and a gorgeous body, the perfect amount of muscles. As soon as the rest of the class saw, they shut up, letting Kakashi introduce the student.

"Everyone, this is Sasuke. Sasuke, you can sit beside Sakura," he said, pointing towards the pink haired girl.

Sakura could instantly hear her other blond best friend whispering to her, "Isn't he cute?!" she giggled as he approached his seat. "Hey, I'm Sakura Haruno." She extended her hand to the boy.

At first, he looked at her as if she were crazy, but once he looked her over, taking in her flawless skin, gorgeous green eyes and slim, petite, curvy body, he just gave a cool smile, "Sasuke," he replies.

Sakura let a small giggle slip out as she saw her best friend moving her arm round randomly, trying to get the pink haired girl to notice how hot the new boy was and how lucky she was right now. Sasuke, noticing her giggle, gave her a confused look. Unexpectedly, he turned around, making a certain blond blush while fumbling with an excuse.

Before anything else happened, Kakashi cleared his throat. They avoided their teacher's eyes, thinking they were in trouble, but luckily, riiiiing. Phew, saved by the bell. Naruto was the first to rush out and into the cafeteria. All their classmates started leaving and soon only Sakura and Sasuke were left. Sakura's face turned a shade of light pink as she noticed the boy looking her over (again).

Even though Sasuke hasn't known this girl long (at all) he felt strangely attracted to her, maybe it was her looks or her cute personality, he didn't know what it was, but he just wanted to jump her. Just looking at her made him hard. He had a semi-mischievous smile as soon as he noticed her blush. The raven haired boy might have actually tried to taste her full, pink lips, if only Ino hadn't entered the room. "Dam," he thought

"Sakura, there you are!" she instantly noticed the scene-Sakura and the new kid, alone, in the classroom, with the doors closed (before she shoved it open). "Oooh..." she gave her friend a mischievous grin and wink. "Sorry to intrude, I'll leave."

"No! I….we….I mean…. you're not intruding, Ino. We were just leaving." Sakura managed to stutter out as she blushed madly, not even noticing the small hint of disappointment on Sasuke's face, but it soon faded completely when Ino invited him to eat with them.

"Hm," was his simple response.

*****

Everyone greeted Ino and Sakura warmly, as they approached their usual table. Sakura was about to introduce their new friend, when Ino interrupted. "Guys, this is Sasuke!" Everyone said there heys and continued eating. Ino sat right next to him and started asking a whole bunch of questions, which seemed to make her boyfriend, Shikamaru jealous.

Sakura, noticing his glare said, "Ino, I'm sure Sasuke just wants to eat his lunch, we can ask him questions later."

"Oh, okay," her best friend smiled and went over to Shikamaru, shoving Sakura down on her previous seat in the process. Since she was caught off guard, she fell and guess what? She landed right on Sasuke's lap. She turned bright red and Sasuke slightly smirked.

"Ahhh! What are you doing!?" screamed the loud-mouth blond when he came back to their table. He was so mad (and jealous) about what happened, he didn't even notice he dropped his bowl of ramen. And if you knew Naruto, you'd know what a big deal that was.

"Nothing!" Sakura exclaimed, a little too loudly, catching not only the attention of their table, but the whole cafeteria. For the third or fourth time today, she blushed. Luckily, the bell rang and everyone rushed off. "Ihavetogettoclassnow. Seeyouguyslater!" she blurted it all out in one breath and left, leaving Naruto glaring at the new kid.

Classes past by quickly, Sakura didn't see Sasuke till the bell rang, He was leaning on a wall by Sakura's locker and gave her a small smile as she walked a little past him to open her locker. After she packed her bag, she asked what he was doing.

"Just getting my books," he shrugged.

"Oh!" No one can say she wasn't surprised when she saw him opening the locker right beside hers! Sasuke smirked at her reaction.

"Hey guys! There you are!" she shouted/screamed. "Wait, ohmygosh! Sakura, you don't know how lucky you are! You get a locker right next to Sasuke!" Ino whisper-shouted. "Oh and Sakura, don't forget my sleepover tonight, so we can get ready early tomorrow! Oh Sasuke!! I forgot to tell you! I'm having a party tomorrow to kick off our week without school, you in?" Sasuke could see the hopeful and excited look in her eyes while Sakura saw a very mischievous glint.

"Sure," he shrugged. He knew Sakura must be going too, since she was sleeping over and they were best friends. He can't wait to see his cherry blossom outside of school. Hmm, he likes the sound of that, and he could definitely get used to calling her that.
