CHAPTER ONE: A New Life
BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ WAKE UP! WAKE UP! GET THE HE- SLAM! Sakura sighed as she looked at the now destroyed alarm clock. "No! That's my seventh one this month!" She pouted as she slowly pulled herself out of bed and drug herself to the shower.
It was her first day at a new school and she wanted to look good so Sakura dressed in her favorite dark green skirt and a beautiful red shirt that tied at the hip. To add the finishing touches, She put in a ruby headband and smiled at herself in the mirror. "Looking good!" She grinned.
"SAKURA! BREAKFAST!" Her mother's shrill voice echoed up the stairs. Sakura put on her dark green sandals and ran down the stairs. "You look wonderful, Sakura! Here's some eggs, toast, and hashbrowns."
"Thanks Mom!" Sakura grinned to her parent as she ate the food quickly and bid her mom goodbye.
"Konoha High here I come!" She grinned as she ran to her car and hopped in, pulling out and heading towards her new school.
As the pink haired girl got to her school, she looked around the courtyard. Suddenly, a girl with dark blueish black hair ran into her. "Oh my gosh I'm so sorry!" The girl cried out as she pulled herself off the ground and hurried to gather her dropped books.
"It's fine!" Sakura smiled as she helped the girl. The girl looked up and Sakura noticed her unusually white eyes. "Are you okay?" The girl nodded.
"I'm sorry, my name's Hinata, pleasure to meet you." Sakura grinned and shook her hands. "Sakura. I just moved here." Hinata shook her hand with a smile.
"So you're new? What year?" She asked curiously as they walked over and sat on the stairs to the school. "Junior. You?"
"SAME!" Hinata giggled. "HEY HINATA!" A blonde girl ran over, sliding into a spot next to the blue haired girl. "Hi Ino! This is Sakura, she's new!" The blonde looked Sakura over.
"Hey, My name's Ino Yamanaka." Sakura grinned. "Sakura Haruno."
"Nice to meet you, Sakura!" A perky voice came from behind her. Sakura turned around, frightened, to see a happy girl with her hair in buns. "My name's Ten Ten. Welcome to the group!"
Sakura smiled after recovering from her near-heartattack. "It's only my first day and I've already made lots of friends!"
"Oh you haven't seen half of our group!" Ino said with a grin. "But don't worry, I'm sure everyone will just love you!" She hugged Sakura enthusiastically. "And I just LOVE your hair! Is it dyed? If it is, you have an excelent hairdresser because it looks so natural!"
After Ino stopped hugging Sakura, the pink haired girl smiled. "Well it IS natural." Ino beamed. "AMAZING!"
"HINATA-CHAN!" A loud, obnoxious voice echoed through the courtyard. Sakura couldn't see the source, but she did see the purple haired girl turn a violent red. Suddenly a blonde guy ran up and jumped down next to them all. "H-Hi Naruto-kun." Hinata said in a small voice.
Sakura looked to Ino and Ten Ten with a confused look and Ten Ten leaned down with a smirk and whispered into her ear, "Hinata has a HUGE crush on Naruto, and she's super shy when he's around!"
"Oh…" Sakura grinned as well at her new best friends. "Hi Naruto! I'm Sakura!" She stretched her arm out for Naruto to shake her hand. The blonde man enthusiastically grabbed her hand and shook it happily.
"NICE TO MEET YOU!" He grinned. Sakura giggled at him. He was interesting, that's for sure.
"Oh look Sakura!" Ino said excitedly. "It's Sasuke!" She grinned. Sakura looked to where her blonde friend was pointing and saw a really cute guy with black hair and black eyes walking up. His face was handsome and his features were to die for. He had an uninterested look on his face but she saw his eyebrow raise when his eyes met hers. He walked over, hands in pockets, and stood in front of the group.
"Sasuke-kun! This is Sakura, she's new!" Ino said with a smile to the dark haired man, who didn't seem to notice her, but instead was looking Sakura over. Sakura blushed as his eyes rested on her face and he smirked.
"Nice to meet you, Sasuke." Sakura said with a smile, holding her hand out. Sasuke nodded and swifly took her hand, but instead of shaking it, he brought it to his lips and gently kissed the back of her hand. Sakura REALLY blushed at that. "Pleasure is all mine, Sakura." He said in a dreamy voice.
The bell rang and the group hurried to stand up, and Sakura, still blushing, hurried off to find her first class, leaving Sasuke to fight his way through the crowd of students alone.
As she ran through the halls, she found her first class and walked in calmly. A silver haired man stood in the front, his nose buried in a book that had the cover removed so that you couldn't see what it was. She smiled as she noticed Hinata and Ten Ten were in this class. She waved as they beckoned her to sit between them. Sakura slipped into the desk with a grin to her friends.
"We so totally think Sasuke likes you!" Ten Ten said quickly, before Sakura was even sitting comfortably. Sakura looked up, surprised, and a blush returned to her cheeks. "Really?"
"Totally, he's never acted like that to any girl!" Hinata put in. Sakura blushed even more and jumped when the teacher's voice burst through the room.
"Class! Enough chatting for now! My name's Kakashi. I only say that because we have a new student!" He pointed to Sakura, his nose still in his book. "Stand up and introduce yourself."
Sakura complied and stood, looking around at the class nervously. "My name's Sakura Haruno and I just transferred from Takenedoya High." She said, surprised at how strong her voice was when she was nervous. The teacher nodded and she sad down, relieved to be out of the limelight.
After Kakashi-sensei assigned the class their math assignment, they all set to work. Sakura finished easily with time to spare and took the time to look around at her classmates. She saw in the back of the class, all alone, a guy with red hair and jade green eyes. He wore eyeliner and a dark red shirt and black pants. She noted the tattoo on his forehead that said "love" in kanji.
"Hey Hinata…" Sakura whispered to the purple-haired girl. "Who's that?" She moved her head in a way that made Hinata look and see him. "Oh that's Gaara. No body really talks to him. He moved here, like, seven years ago from Suna. Loads of people say he killed someone at his last school and that's why he came here. He has two siblings, Kankuro and Temari. But they are both upperclassmen." Hinata explained.
Sakura looked back at him only to turn back to Hinata in a hurry. He had looked up and stared straight at her, as if knowing she was talking about him. Hinata finished her math and Sakura helped Ten Ten because she was awful at it. Ten Ten grinned when she finally finished. "THANKS!" She hugged Sakura happily and Sakura nodded.
The bell rang and the friends went to their next classes. Sakura entered art with a grin as she saw Naruto, Ino, and Sasuke. They waved her over and she sat down between Sasuke and Ino (because Ino arranged for it by making Naruto sit on the other side of Sasuke). Sakura smiled at Sasuke and started talking with Ino about art. Naruto was chatting at Sasuke, who was listening silently without any expression of interest or anything.
"Class, I'm Kurenai-sensei and we have a new student." Sakura sighed as she repeated the scene of her introducing herself. Sasuke watched her stand up and she felt a small blush as he watched her. She sat back down as Kurenai handed out sketchbooks to everyone. "I don't care what you draw, how you draw, or if you talk, but be semi-quiet. I'm tired and busy." She sat down and leaned back in her chair, falling asleep.
"She always does that. More-so since she got pregnant." Ino grinned as she got up and got a pencil. Sakura got a pencil and sat down, looking at the paper in front of her. Normally, Sakura was an awesome artist, but today her drawing was limited and her inspiration gone.
Sasuke leaned over next to her and wrote something on her sketchpad. He finished writing and went back to talking to Naruto as if he hadn't done anything. Sakura blinked before looking down at what he wrote and nearly fainted.
"What's it say?" Ino asked, leaning over to read it, not waiting for an answer. "OH MY GOD SAKURA!" She beamed and attacked the pink haired girl in a hug.
Sakura, do you want to be my girlfriend?
Sakura couldn't believe it. Sasuke asked her out. Apparently, from what she gathered within the last two class periods, he was the most popular and wanted boy in the school. AND HE ASKED HER OUT! ON HER FIRST DAY!
Sakura calmed down and before Sasuke could react, she pulled his own sketchbook over to her and calmly wrote down her reply. Sure, if you're asking.
Sasuke read it, still emotionless looking and raised an eyebrow, the faintest smirk on his lips. He leaned over and whispered in her ear, "Then you are now my girlfriend." His voice was sexy and husky and Sakura couldn't repress the shiver that went down her spine. A smile broke out on her face when he turned back to Naruto. "Good." She whispered, knowing he heard her.
Ino looked as if she, herself would faint. "Oh my god Sakura, you are now the most popular girl in school. You now have what every girl in the entire school has wanted. THAT WAS SO AWESOME!" She cried out. Apparently Ino loved anything romance.
After art, Sakura went to history. How she hated history. Walking in, she sat down next to Hinata and Sasuke, who were sitting together, but left a spot between them for her. "Hey Sakura!" Hinata smiled, there was a huge blush on her cheeks which only meant that…
"Hinata-chan!" Yep. Sakura guessed right. The blonde boy grinned as he walked in, plopping down behind Hinata. "H-h-hi Naruto-kun." She smiled small. Sakura giggled and looked as Sasuke leaned across to her.
"Sakura, want to go to the movies after school?" He asked, again, with the sexy and husky voice that make her spine shiver. She nodded with a small smile. Sasuke nodded and leaned back in his chair. Hinata looked at Sakura with a confused glance. "We're dating." Sakura said, matter-of-factly. Hinata's eyes widened. "Really? Sasuke hasn't had a girlfriend since he moved here. He could have, he just never said yes." Sakura smiled. "Guess I'm his first."
A man walked in, obviously the teacher. He had a toothpick hanging out of his mouth casually and looked bored. "Hello class. We have a new student, Sakura Haruno." He didn't have her stand and introduce herself or anything so Sakura already liked him. "My name's Asuma-sensei. Now open your books to page 494 and read until class ends." He mumbled and Sakura did as she was told but became really bored after twenty minutes.
Finally, after what seemed like hours, the bell rang and Hinata, Sasuke, Naruto, and Sakura headed to lunch. They met up with Ino and Ten Ten and a bunch of other people. Ino took the liberty to introduce everyone.
"This is Kiba." She pointed to the man whose arm she clung to. Sakura didn't need to be told that it was her boyfriend. "The guy over there with the brown hair and white eyes is Hinata's cousin, Neji." The boy in question nodded, a bored expression on his face.
"Shikamaru is the dude in the ponytail next to Neji. He's boring." Shikamaru grunted in annoyance at the comment. "The guy over there," She pointed to a stout guy with chips in hand. "Is Choji."
Ino pointed to a guy that was wearing a high collared coat and sunglasses. "That's Shino. We think he's a vampire though he denies it." Shino's eyebrow twitched. "I'm not a vampire for the hundredth time!"
Ino didn't take notice to him, though, as she went on. "That guy over there, the pale one with black hair? That's Sai. He's a jerk." The guy being pointed to nodded with a smile.
"Wow…I sure chose the biggest group of people to hang out with!" Sakura smiled as she met everyone. Ino laughed and nodded.
They all ate lunch and shared stories and laughed. Sakura noticed Gaara sitting alone, looking like he was angry. Of course, Sakura thought, every time she's seen him he's looked upset. Suddenly she saw a blonde haired woman walk over, her hair in a distinguishable four ponytails along with a dude in all black with purple face paint. They sat down next to him, but he ignored them as they started talking. They were his siblings, she thought, as she watched them say something to him, he nodded, and they walked away.
Sakura turned back to her friends as he looked at her. Sasuke was sitting next to her, his arm casually around her shoulders as he just watched the conversation, occasionally adding a monosyllable reply to something.
Lunch ended and the group all went to their next class. Gym. It seemed the entire Junior class took gym together, Sakura noted. As she entered, (Sasuke still had his arm around her shoulders) she noticed the teacher. He was tall and muscular and wore green spandex. "Oh…my….god give me something to rip my eyes out with." She said out loud and everyone in the group laughed. "You get used to it." Ten Ten said.
"I am Might Gai! Your Gym TEACHER!" He said dramatically to Sakura. "Sakura Haruno! WELCOME TO MY CLASS!" Gai-sensei grinned with a thumbs up.
Sakura blinked. "Now, class! We are doing self-defense the ENTIRE week! YAY!" He cried out with a smirk. "YAY GAI-SENSEI! YOU ARE AWESOME!" A younger version of the teacher, in the same attire, called from beside him. "Now, go get into your gym outfits and come out for your partners."
The girls all crowded into the locker rooms and one by one emerged in their white tee-shirts and red shorts. Sakura's were a little too small, so they weren't as long as she liked, revealing more of her thigh that she was comfortable showing.
"Now class! PICK YOUR PARTNERS! But, as an added surprise, they have to be of the opposite gender!" Sakura saw most of the boys sweatdrop. She grinned because it would be fun to see the guys struggling with the idea of fighting a girl. Sasuke made his way over to her, his face not showing any emotion, but Sakura smiled at him as he grabbed her hand gently and pulled her to a mat. "Now, fight like you mean it! Just don't break anything or kill anyone." Sakura looked over at the red-headed Gaara at the last comment and saw he was paired up with a poor girl who looked terrified beyond belief. Sakura guessed that they were the only two left that didn't have a partner.
As Sakura and Sasuke fought, Sakura would steal glances at Gaara's fight, and noticed he barely even tried. She would toss a wimpy and scared punch and he would pretend to dodge it and let it hit him in the arm or the shoulder. He would throw a punch and let her dodge it easily.
As Sakura was watching, she missed Sasuke with a punch of her own and gasped as his hand grabbed her arm and twisted it behind her back, pushing her to the ground. Sakura grunted as her face came in contact with the mat and quickly decided to take her kiddy gloves off. She had, after all, taken many years of self-defense AND martial arts. She arched her back and got a leg free just enough to turn and wrap the leg around his waist and flip so that she was on top of him, her arm released in the surprise attack, and her hips straddling his waist as she pinned his legs together with her own and her arms holding his down. She smirked but her victory didn't last long as Sasuke shocked her by sticking his head up and capturing her lips with his. Taking advantage of her shock, he flipped them both, still kissing her, so that he was once again on top and had her pinned in a way that she couldn't escape. "I win." He said with a smirk as she stared up at him with a glare and a pout.
"Not fair you cheated!" Sakura said, still pouting. Sasuke smirked again as he bent low to kiss her again but Gai-sensei blew the whistle just before his lips touched hers. "Okay HIT THE SHOWERS! Good work guys!"
As she entered the locker room, almost dazed, the girls attacked her. "OH MY GOD SAKURA WE SAW THE WHOLE THING!" Ino screamed and Ten Ten and Hinata hurried around her. "How was it?" "Did you get tongue action?" "Was it everything I ever hoped?" The questions seemed endless and Sakura just smirked and stripped down, stepping into the shower. "I don't kiss and tell."
Truth? She was in heaven. The next to class periods she didn't have any of her friends in, but Gaara was in them both. Ino and Ten Ten and Hinata were all coming over after school to help get her ready for her date with Sasuke.
So far? Sakura's first day at a new high school was the best ever. She couldn't wait until tonight!
