High School Insanity
Summary: Meet Sakura Haruno, a new student to Konoha High. Enter Sasuke Uchiha, fan girl attracter with his famous icy "Back Off" glare. Complete opposites, yet opposites attract…? When Sasuke meets Sakura, life for them flip-flops. Stalkers 24/7, secret codes, and … ramen? Now – are they falling for each other? Sasuke is, but Sakura isn't.
At 7:00 a.m., an alarm clock rang promptly. A certain pink-haired girl groaned and rolled over in her bed… and thus landed on the floor.
"Ow," she muttered, rubbing her head. Slowly she stood up and looked at her calendar. "Um, Monday, September 12th, first day of school at Konoha High … that's nice…"
The girl turned heel and collapsed back on her bed. As you see, her brain takes a while to process…
"Ahck!" She bolted upright as the words were finally digested. "Today's the first day of school for me!"
Sakura Haruno was running around in circles in the middle of her room, frantically shrieking, "I'm gonna be late! I'm gonna be late!"
Then she recollected herself, meaning found her wandering mind. She ran into the bathroom and took a quick shower before throwing on a pair of cuffed jeans and a red tank top.
Sakura snatched her bag, which was draped over a kitchen chair, and then grabbed an apple. Then she marched out her front door.
"Let's see, now's 7:30, school starts at 8:15, and the walk there will take about 10 minutes, so I'm good!"
She had to cross several streets to reach Konoha High, and on the 5th one, a black convertible cruised past, almost hitting her. Sakura shook with anger. She glared at the person driving the car, who happened to be a raven-haired guy with dark eyes.
"You almost hit me. There's a stop sign over there; can't you read? Do you even have a driver's license? Who do you think you are, crashing into everyone you see?" Sakura snapped.
The guy just smirked at her and rounded a corner, disappearing from sight. Sakura was stunned – but not for long. She spotted Konoha High straight ahead, and with all her worries forgotten, skipped off towards the school.
Just then she saw a small, black cat sitting on one of the benches in front of the school. Sakura frowned. Poor kitten. Wonder what it's doing here?
She was so deep in thought, that she didn't even notice when she had reached the double doors of the school. She accidentally bumped into someone and fell.
"Oops! Sorry," Sakura apologized. A blond-haired, blue-eyed kid just stared at her for a second before sprouting a foxy grin. He was wearing an orange and black jumpsuit. Strange, my new school is, Sakura couldn't help but think. He helped her up and took a deep breath.
"My name is Naruto Uzumaki! I love ramen, ramen, and ramen! RAMEN FOREVER! Anyway, you're new to this school, right? Then you'd better see Tsunade."
The blond continued chattering about things from someone called "Hinata" to how the school's toilets got stuck so easily. Finally, he came back to the beginning.
"So you should see Tsunade, the principle, before anything else. Her office is right along the hallway, second door to the right," he concluded. Sakura sweat dropped, but nodded. "Thanks Naruto, you were a big help. See you later, I guess!"
But before she could do anything else, Naruto grabbed her arm. "You still haven't told me yet," he said seriously. Sakura was confused. "Your name," he said.
Sakura slapped her forehead. "Oh. Sorry Naruto! My name is Sakura. Now, see you later!"
Sakura wandered aimlessly until in front of her was a door that said, "Principal's Office". She frowned, but knocked. "Come in," a voice said. She entered.
A blond woman (that's all I will say) was sitting at a desk. When she saw Sakura, she smiled. "You must be the new student. Sit down, we have some things to discuss." Sakura did as she was told, and the woman began again.
"I am Tsunade, Principle of Konoha High. School, as you already know, begins at 8:15 and ends at 4:00. You have five classes. Here is your schedule." Tsunade handed her a sheet of paper. Sakura glanced at it.
1st period: Algebra - Kakashi
2nd period: History - Asuma
3rd period: Break
4th period: Physical Education – Anko/Gai
5th period: Lunch
6th period: Botany – Orochimaru
7th period: Home Economics – Kurenai
She nodded and slipped the schedule into her bag.
Tsunade smiled. "Your first class is Kakashi, I see," she made a face, "his class is across the hall, three doors down. Ask him to assign you a tour guide for the day. That will be all." She smiled again before standing up, opening the door, and forcing Sakura out with a sweeping motion.
Sakura rushed towards her math class and reached it just in time. She stepped through the doorway and looked around the room. In the front was a silver-haired man with a black mask covering all of his face except his right eye. He was holding a small, orange book and giggling uncontrollably.
One eye … I wonder how he can breathe. Sakura thought. She shifted her attention to people in the class.
Sitting in the front row was a kid with a gray jacket and hood. A dog suddenly peeped out.
"Akamaru, get back in!" she heard him hiss. There was a small whine, but the dog disappeared. There was another girl with buns in her hair, and a serious-looking guy with sort of spiky dark hair, shades, and a big jacket that covered most of his face.
Sakura shuddered. She looked towards the back of the room, where a girl in a thick coat with short, indigo hair was poking her two index fingers together. She had white eyes and was looking at a certain loud-mouthed blond and blushing….
Sakura turned and saw … Naruto!
He stopped talking to a lazy looking person with his hair sticking up in a sort of ponytail. Like a pineapple, Sakura mused. "Sakura! Hi! So you're in Kakashi's math class. I'll introduce you." He jumped up and pulled her to the front of the class before beginning to point out everyone.
"That's Tenten, the one with the buns, and there's Kiba, he has a dog named Akamaru. Shino is the one sitting next to Tenten. By the window is Ino, she's a real snob; Shikamaru is the one I was talking to. Really smart, but lazy. There in the back is Neji and Gaara. Sasuke's supposed to sit there too, but I have no idea where he is. So that's about everyone!"
Kakashi had just noticed the addition to his class. He cleared his throat. "Are you the new student?" he said gently. Sakura nodded. "Well then, introduce yourself!"
Sakura turned to the class and coughed. Everyone looked up. "Um, I'm Sakura Haruno, I transferred from Sunagakure High. And yes, this is my natural hair color."
"Well, they say you learn something new everyday," Kakashi said conversationally. "Anyway, I'm going to call roll. Say you're here when I call your name…"
"Tenten."
"Here."
"Hinata."
"P-present."
"Neji."
"Hn."
"Naruto."
"RAMEN FOREVER!"
"Shikamaru."
Yawn
"Sakura, I know you're here… Gaara."
"…"
"Okay, In- "
"Gaara?!" Sakura screeched. The redhead looked up … into the eyes of his childhood friend. Everyone was staring. Suddenly, he broke into a tiny, tiny smile.
"Gaara, smiling? Whoa," Naruto said.
"Anyway, Ino?"
"Present and always will be!" said a sickly-sounding someone. Sakura winced.
"Alright. Sasuke Uchiha- "
The door opened again – no, it was flung open. In the doorway stood a raven-haired, tall male with dark eyes, and almost the same color of hair. "Here."
Ino squealed. "Sasuke, you're so cooool!"
He said nothing, but just pushed past to the back, with his hands in his pockets. Sakura just stared. He was the one who had nearly crashed into her this morning!
"Role call done," Kakashi said. "Now, Sakura, your seat will be in the back, next to Neji and Sasuke. Any questions?"
Sakura was still shaking in rage, but she answered. "Yes, Tsunade told me to tell you that I need a guide to give me a tour of the school…"
"Ah," he said. "Sasuke will do. Let me see your schedule…" After quickly scanning the piece of paper, he said, "Sasuke also has History with you. He can show you around after break."
With that he settled back into his chair and began to read.
As Sakura made her way towards the back of the room, she felt that it was going to be a very long school year.
