I heard my mother calling me to eat breakfast. I sighed and ignored her demanding cries. That is until she said, "Sakura! Your going to be late for your first day at ninja academy!" I literally fell off my bed and I swiftly turned to my alarm clock. It was 7:20! Oh no. Oh no oh no oh no! I ran to my closet to get my favorite red dress.
I could NOT be late today, no way! I flew down the stairs and sat on the table. I stuffted as much food in my mouth then ran back upstairs to get my shoes. "Sakura calm down! School doesnt start until 8:20!" My mother said calmly.
I froze dead in my tracks. That would of been nice to know. Wow, first day and already you react too quickly... My inner said sweatdropping. I was a little calmer then. I found my ninja sandles and put them on. My mother gave me my backpack and I smiled brightly. "I'm ready!" I declared smiling happily.
My mother smiled and when I saw the sad look in her eyes, I knew she was thinking of daddy. He died on a mission a few months ago. "Mommy? Are you ok?" The pink haird women got out of her trance and smiled kindly at me.
"I'm fine sweetheart, It's just, you have your father's eyes thats all." The thought of that almost made me cry. I rubbed my eyes and hugged my mom afterwards. The Hokage was doing everything to make my mom feel comfortable in the village.
Since daddy is gone, we havent been able to support ourselves anymore. My mommy's been really sad since daddy died that dreadful day. I ended the hug a little bit too quickly.
"Mommy, will we make it through? With daddy gone, how will we support ourselves?" I asked with worry. My mom looked at me sadly but quickly removed the look and gave me a fake smile.
"Thats not for you to worry about honey, just leave the bills to the grownups." My mom said and opened the door for me to go. I gave my mommy a goodbye hug and left for the academy. I noramally walk everywhere I go with my mom, but now I walk alone, because my mom hasn't been able to cope with my dad's death. I haven't either.
Today is my first day in the academy. I've been preparing my entire life for this moment! I finally made it to the front of the school, many students surrounding the area! I had a horrible, horrible habbit of being shy on my first day. Hesitating, I walked slowly to the inside of the school. I was receiving lots of stares from the students.
I palled and quickened my pace. Before I could even open the door, I accidently tripped on a rock. I fell on my stomach and everyone laughed at me. I blushed of embarrassment and ran inside. Nice first impression, Sakura! My inner teased. I inwardly groaned. I'm trying my best! But I get too shy when people stare at me. I thought back.
I roamed the hallways, and got my information for where my class was. It said I was supposed to go to room 43. After a few minutes of gaining more stares from people, I finally found room 43. I checked the list of people that were in my class.
Naruto Uzumaki
Ino Yamanaka
Hinata Hyuuga
Shikamaru Nara
Shino Aburame
Kiba Inuzuka
Sakura Haruno
Choji Akimichi
Sasuke Uchiha-
My thoughts were inturrupted by the sound of books crashing from another room. It seems that the other room was a library. "Dangit! Stupid library books falling from the shelf! Now the clock is broken!" from my veiw, the young women was trying to fix the time."Hinata do you know the time?" A kind young women said from the other room.
I took peek of them talking. "I-I dont kn-know, I dont ha-have a w-watch." The timid girl stuttered. I looked at my watch, only to find out it's 8:10. I wanted to tell them the time, but I was almost as shy as the timid girl.
"That's fine Hinata, I have a watch, it seems to be 8:11 now. I'll just set up the clock, now you go on and go to your class, thank you for the help Hinata." The women said. "N-no pr-oblem K-Kurenai-sama!" Hinata said.
Hinata got out of the room that was on the other side of the hall. Now's my chance to make a friend! I went up to her to say hi. "Hi my name is Sakura! I'm the new girl." I greeted in my most polite manner.
The timid girl looked at me and looked down twiddling her fingers. "M-my name i-is Hinata Hy-Hyuuga." She stutters with an embarrassed blush. I looked at her curiously and continued the conversation.
"Do you want to sit with me at lunch today?" I ask with a kind smile. The Hyuuga smiled excitedly. "R-Really? Of course! Th-Thank y-you ..!" She agreed. I smiled, for I found my first friend. My mother always told me, 'A friend in need, is a friend indeed.'
After a good 10 minutes of talking with my new friend, the bell rang. I assumed it was time to go inside the room. Both me and Hinata went inside our rooms. As we went inside, more and more people came in too. I was nervous. Very. Very. Nervous. I took a seat beside Hinata, and the other kids took random seats.
A girl with blonde hair sat a few seats behind me and a chubby boy sat two seats from Hinata. finally our sensei came. "Hello class, my name is Iruka Umino, you can call me Iruka-sensei from now on, understood?"
"Hai!" All of us said at the same time. Soon after that, a boy with blonde hair and blue eyes barged in the room. "Iruka-sensei! I can explain-"
"I dont have time for your silly storries Naruto! Now take a seat." He said strictly to the boy while everyone laughed at him. Me and Hinata were NOT laughing.
He began teaching the whole class and I was paying very close attention. I even took notes if necessary. When it was lunchtime, I kept my promise of sitting with Hinata outside. We talked like good friends would, but soon, three mean looking girls approached us.
"Hey! Who do you think you are sitting at our table!" A girl with purple hair said. I remember her! I think her name was Ami... oh no..! Ami's followers pushed us to the ground. "H-hey!" Hinata cried. Ami was pinching my cheeks and messing with me. Tears were streaming down my face. "Leave me alone! Leave us alone!" I cried helplessly.
Suddenly, I heard someone coming. "Leave her alone." I heard someone say with no emotion what-so-ever. The girls looked at his way and had hearts for eyes. "S-Sasuke-kun!" Ami cried obiously he was his crush. I looked his way and blush but hid it. It was Sasuke Uchiha..!
This is so embarrassing! I cant believe he saw me being picked on by these idiots. Hinata helped me up. "It's Sasuke Uchiha. And I said leave her alone." He said giving the bullies a murderous glare.
The girls tried to protest but Sasuke was being so serious, they ran off. He approached me and every step he took made me blush even more. I was trying so desprately to hide it. "Are you ok?" He said, not really sounding concerned, but still in a low voice. I nodded. Hinata smiled. "Th-thank you Sasuke-san." She said not even blushing.
He just kept his serious gaze and left. Wow, it's been a day, and already I have an obvious crush. When lunch was over, we both went back to our class. It was time for our training session!
Me and Hinata squealed, for this will be the time to show our stuff! We entered the front porch and we saw a lot of people volenteering to prefrom a jutsu or techniqe.
