Welcome to Fallen! Hope you enjoy!
Snow?
Wisps of soft, crystal like substances
Innocent, pure, untouchable
Slowly subsiding to the ground
No
They were feathers
Twirling in the air
Dancing with the wind
Like the feathers of angels
Fallen Angels

-Sakura-
It was snowing.
Swirling tresses of cloudy sparkles coming down.
Falling on a poor, girl crouched on the uneven ground of an alleyway, a crestfallen look adorned on her face. Her bubble-gum pink locks crowning her head, and falling onto her back. Emerald green eyes were on the verge of bursting into tears.
The nerve of him, she thought angrily. That damned Sai! Playing with my heart, and then running off with that…that pig! Her stomach churned in disgust at the thought of her long-time crush, and her ex best friend – Ino – running off to be together because they were just so in love. I can't believe I believed him when he told me 'I love you'. Ugh, I'll never be that gullible again to listen to such empty, meaningless words.
Standing up to brush the snow off of her rumpled Konoha High uniform, Sakura observed a boy, about her age, watching her. Her eyes narrowed as she turned to face him, considering his raven black hair and pale face, with a frown forever placed on his chiseled lips. Then noticed his cold, empty onyx eyes.
His eyes, they look so much like Sai's. Blank and hollow, like a void.
"What do you want?" she questioned harshly.
The boy just grunted and trudged away into the flurry of snow laid in front of them. Blowing like angels soaring through the sky.

Sakura was absolutely shocked the moment she walked through the grand school doors. She was so sure that she would run right back home and hide under her bed like when she was little and thunder was storming outside. Especially after Sakura witnessed Sai and Ino walking hand-in-hand into Konoha High. But for some reason, Sakura's body betrayed her mind and brushed right past the couple.
"Oy! Sakura-chaaan!" cried the excited voice of a hyper, blonde haired boy.
"Naruto!" Sakura replied, plastering a fake smile upon her face.
"Ah, right I heard about Ino and Sai, " Naruto's face suddenly fell. "I'm sorry Sakura-chan, I know how you've liked Sai for a while."
"Oh that? It's fine, I'm already over him," she responded, more trying to convince herself rather than Naruto.
But Naruto, being his usual self, continued to pester her about how she really felt the whole way to homeroom. I guess that's the kind of friend he is, Sakura thought to herself. Sweet, and much better than that pig Ino
As they entered the classroom, Sakura noticed two things that seemed very out of place. 1) Kakashi-sensei was in the classroom, and he was on time! And 2) The same raven haired, obsidian-eyed guy that she had met yesterday, while she was wallowing in self-pity, was settled at the front of the room.
Kakashi's eyes crinkled as he - she assumed - smiled, and motioned Naruto and Sakura to sit down. Sakura did as she was told, but kept her eyes fixated on the boy in front of her.
"Ah, now that everyone is here," Kakashi said through his mask, "Allow me to introduce Sasuke Uchiha who will be joining us from today on at Konoha High."
And that's a wrap on the first chapter! Please review and let me know if I made any mistakes! Your thoughts are appreciated.
