WHO MISSED MEEE!!!!!! :DD *rotten tomatoes* Okay, not many. But I'm ready to begin a new story, continue others, delete, and recreateee! It's still gonna take me FOREVER to update, since now I be in 10th grade! XD I hate AP classes people. But here's my new story, and I reallyyy hope you all like it :) I know it's my favorite!

:~**~:

"Class! Listen up!" Sasuke lazily turned his attention to the front of the room. His teacher, Kakashi, stood at the front of the room. His notes were, surprisingly, on his desk. Kakashi was a man of many, many words. He was not one to let something go. Sasuke leaned backwards in his chair, and listened to his teacher babble.

"We have a new assignment. This project will be a month long." The class groaned. Sasuke closed his eyes, thinking of better things he had to do other than another project.

"Now, now. This assignment is very crucial. It will not be for a grade, but--"

"So why the hell do we have to do it?!" A boy with blond hair shouted. Sasuke looked over to see his best friend, Naruto, standing with his fists on his desk. Kakashi glared. "Naruto, you have detention for your profanity. And second, because you will learn a thing or two about life after this." Naruto grumbled and sat down with his arms crossed. Sasuke focused on his teacher again.

"As I was saying, for the next month, we will be travelling to a hospital. You will each be assigned a patient to talk to and get to know better. Some of the patients are very ill, and others will be out within the next couple weeks. If anything like this happens, you will be assigned a new person." Sasuke was suddenly angered with this assignment. He put all the chair legs back on the floor, and stayed focused nonetheless.

"When I call your name, you will come up and get a piece of paper with a patient's name and room number. We start tommorow." Kakashi picked up a stack of papers sitting on the corner of his desk. He began calling names, and one by one the students got their papers. Sasuke was soon called up, and he stood to recieve the paper. He, being the last one, sat down and the class began to talk. He took this time to look over his paper.

He had a girl named Sakura Haruno. 'Great, probably will turn out to be another fangirl...' Sasuke thought, turning to see a few girls staring a smiling. Being known for playing numerous sports and adoringly handsome made him one of the most popular guys in school. He turned back to continue looking at the sheet, eyeing all sorts of information. Height, weight, eye color, and multiple random things thrown in. Suddenly, the bell rang, indicating the end of the school day.

"Class! Be in here no later than 7:30 A.M.!" Kakashi shouted over yells of happiness. Some students complained, others shrugged and hustled out the door. Sasuke turned to leave the room last.

"Oh, Sasuke?" He turned around.

"Yes, sir?"

"There's something you should know about your patient."

"Okay, please do inform me."

"She's--" Another bell rang. Sasuke turned again towards the door. "I'm sorry sir, but I must be at practice now. I'll figure it out eventually." And with that, Sasuke sprinted out the door. Kakashi sighed, and leaned against his desk.

"She's terminally ill..." he finished.

:~**~:

Sasuke walked through the doors at 7:30 A.M. sharp. He saw everyone settled in their seats. Kakashi was taking attendence and didn't even look up to greet him. Sasuke shrugged and went to sit in his seat. Kakashi flew through attendence, and everyone began lining up at the door to head towards the bus. Naruto stood next to Sasuke.

"Hey," Naruto said. "Who's your person?"

"Some girl named Sakura Haruno. How about you?"

"I have a girl named Hinata. I think she'll like me!"

"Yeah, if you don't talk her into an early grave first." Naruto and Sasuke turned around to see a smirking Neji and a bored Shikamaru.

"Shut up Neji! Let's hope you don't bore your patient to an early grave!" Naruto yelled. Neji rolled his eyes in response. "Really original, idiot." Naruto glared, but dropped the arguement.

"So, do you guys have girls too?" Sasuke asked. They both nodded.

"I have an Ino." Shikamaru said.

"I have a Tenten." Neji grumbled.

"Fangirls?" Sasuke asked. Everyone nodded and sighed. Neji, Naruto, and Shikamaru were Sasuke's best friends, and were as equally popular and good looking.

"So, Naruto. I heard you have my cousin." Neji said, eyeing him.

"Yeah. Why is she in there?" Naruto asked. Neji shrugged. "I think she just had surgery or something. I don't really know."

"Alright everyone! Let's move!" Kakashi led the class through the halls of the fancy academy. Everyone was quiet, making sure not to disturb other students in thier classes.

"Now, find a seat on the bus and get comfortable. We have a fifteen minute drive."

:~**~:

.Day One.

"Room...309...here we are..." Sasuke knocked quietly on the door to Sakura's room. He heard a muffled 'come in' and he opened the door. What he saw shocked him down to the bone.

:~**~:

"Room 317! Alright!" Naruto knocked on the door somewhat loudly and stepped in the room. He saw a girl with short purple lying in the small white bed looking at him. He grinned, and walked over to the girl's side.

"Hi! I'm Naruto!" He shouted. The girl winced at the volume of his voice, but smiled. "I'm Hinata. It's very nice to meet you." She slowly extended a hand, and he took it lightly and shook it.

"So, I'm thinking that I'm supposed to get to know you?" Naruto said unsurely. Hinata giggled. "That's what the nurses told me."

"Okay, well first off, why are you in here?"

"I had some surgery done last month on my spine. I ended up shattering part of it from doing a backflip off the balance beam at gymnastics."

"Ouch..." Naruto said, feeling some pain in his own spine.

"I was doing okay, until the scar got really infected. Now I'm being monitored for a while."

"Wow. I can only imagine the pain."

"It only hurts on occasion. Most of the time I can't feel it 'cause of my medication. But enough of my sad tale, tell me more about you!" Naruto smiled, and babbled away to his new friend.

:~**~:

"Okay...Room...uhh..." Neji took a quick glance at his sheet of paper. "Room 276. And here we go..." He softly knocked on the door. He opened it and saw a girl sitting on the edge of the bed, sharpening a knife.

"Hey! Don't tell me you're trying to kill yourself!" Neji gasped, and rushed over to the girl, taking away the weapon. This didn't make her happy.

"I was only sharpening it, and everyone in this damn hospital knows I have it!" She growled. Neji reluctantly gave the knife back to her.

"Umm...I'm Neji...I'm here to--"

"You're hear to talk to me and make me like the hospital more. Yeah, yeah, I heard this already." Neji was shocked for a moment, but smirked.

"Okay, so what's your name?"

"Tenten."

"You don't talk very much, do you?"

"Not to people I don't like." Neji smirked again. He was beginning to like this girl.

:~**~:

"I hate projects..." Shikamaru said as he heard loud laughter coming from inside his assigned room. He sighed and knocked on the door. "Come in!" said a cheery voice. A little too cheery for him.

"Ummm...are you Ino?" Shikamaru asked, leaning against the doorway.

"Yup, that's me!!" Ino shouted, lying down in the bed.

"You seem unusually happy."

"Nope! I'm just a naturally happy person!"

"How spectacular..." Shikamaru mumbled, his voice dripping with sarcasm.

"Excuse me?"

"I said how wonderful." This will be SO much fun.

:~**~:

Sasuke stood wide-eyed at the pale figure in front of him. There was a girl lying in a bed, with machines hooked up to her and beeping. You could see every single one of her bones, even through the bed sheet covering her. But, she had light pink hair, like a cotton candy color, and the most beautiful green eyes he had ever seen. Quite frankly, she herself was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen.

"Uhh, hi. I'm Sasuke. I was assigned to you."

"Oh, yes." Sasuke winced lightly at the girl's sickly, soft voice. "I'm Sakura."

"So...what do you usually do in here?" Sasuke said, very uncomfortable with the given situation.

"Usually I have to lay here all day. Sometimes I get to go outside and walk around with my friends."

"Ah. I see," Sasuke said, as he took a seat next to the bed. Sakura turned to look at him. He looked really tense and kinda scared.

"You know, you don't have to be so freaked out to be in here." She said, trying to cheer him up a bit.

"I can't help it." Sasuke leaned back on his chair and crossed his arms, unknowing of what to say or do. Sakura sighed.

"So, where do you go to school?"

"Kohona Academy For The Gifted." He answered in a small voice.

"Wow. You must be pretty smart."

"I guess..." Sasuke looked to the side of the white room. Sakura turned to look at the ceiling.

This was gonna be a LONG month.
