PROLOGUE:

He found something about her that was very interesting and caught his attention. He started falling for her but she is just too dense about it. Soon enough, their

friendship nurtured. She likes him but keeps it down low since he was already taken and didn't want to be in between something.


Chapter 1

Initial Meeting


BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

'Ugh! Damn it! It's still too early to get up' Sakura Haruno groaned as she twisted herself in bed.

"Sakura! Wake up! You don't want to be late on your first day of school" Sachiko Haruno yelled by the end of the stairs.

Sakura didn't even try to move a muscle and snuggled herself behind her covers. She was having such a good dream.

KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!

"Sakura, honey! Come on, get up now. I know you're awake already dear" Sachiko's sweet voice rang behind the white-painted mahogany door.

'Ugh! Why does she always know? Hmmm. Mother's intuition, I suppose' Sakura thought as she got up from her peaceful slumber and headed for the washroom.

She took a quick shower then darted towards her wardrobe. She thought of what to put on as her outfit for the day. Sakura never had trouble dressing up for school

since her previous school had uniforms. But since they've moved from Sunagakure to Konohagakure due to her parents new job offer at a hospital, she had to deal with

choosing her clothes every day.

She decided that for her first day of class, she didn't want to give positive nor negative impressions so she dressed up simple. She wore black skinny jeans and a 3/4

sleeved navy blue tee top. To top it off, she wore a low cut blue and white plaid printed Converse chucks. She grabbed her book bag and went downstairs for

breakfast.

Her mom was putting eggs on the table and her dad was reading the morning paper. Her big brother was just about finished with making pancakes and her younger

sister was still upstairs. After all has been set out, Sayuri, the youngest child of the Haruno household, went down.


After breakfast, the children immediately got up and prepared for departure.

"Oka-san, Otou-san, I'll give both of them a ride to school. Don't worry about it" Shin offered as he got the car keys hanged by the door. Satoshi Haruno gave a nod of

approval to his offer. The girls gave their parents a peck on the cheek and left.

"The kids are growing up now." Satoshi said as he looked at his children's fleeting forms. Sachiko smiled. She knows that her husband was starting to see that he has

to start loosening up. The Haruno children are well known to be very well disciplined, well mannered, respectful and sophisticated. Their father is strict on appropriate

bases and common sense reasons. He had always imposed strict laws and his children never failed to comply.

"I know they are" Sachiko gave her husband a chaste kiss and took the dishes to the kitchen. Even after 20 years of marriage, their love for each other has always

been genuine.


It's only a 15 minute drive from home to my school, including going over to Sayuri's school.

"Nii-san, arigatu" Sakura closed the door of the black 2009 Acura ZDX and waved farewell to her brother. Shin nodded followed by a smile then left.

'Oh well! Here goes nothing. I can do this!' Sakura said as she made her way to the Principal's office.

As she made her way to the office, she received glares and stares. She ignored them. She got used to it. She always had the attention because of her bubble-gum/

pink coloured hair. She remembered the times when Sayuri would run up to her when somebody bullied her because of her hair.

She went looking for the bullies and gave them a fair and friendly warning then it happened. They called her the nickname that most people call her- "pinky". Next thing

she knew, she snapped and gave them what they needed- lesson to fuck off. She gave each one a lighter punch on the cheeks and sent flying inches away.

Sakura snapped out of her trance when she bumped into someone or rather something. It was too hard to be somebody's body. She looked up and was surprised to

see a boy about her age.

"I am sorry" Sakura said as she bowed down. He looked so intimidating so Sakura thought he was a Teacher or the Student body president.

"Hn. Careless Pinky" It came out as a whisper but he made sure as hell that she could hear it.

"WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY CHICKEN-ASS?" Sakura snapped and glared right into those dark onyx orbs.


I know it's short and hanging but I couldn't think of anything else.

Ideas are welcomed.

Please READ and REVIEW.

Thank you.
