Roses are red

Violets are blue

Sugar is sweet

& so are [you

however

the Roses are wilting

and the violets are dead

the sugar bowl's empty

and my wrists are stained red


Beeeeeep...Beeeeep...Beeee-BOOM!

The alarm clock flew across the room, and out the window, breaking the glass. "Not again." A very tired Sakura mumbled.

It was that special day that every kid has dreaded ever since the 1st grade. Kindergarten doesn't count. What kid didn't like school when you were a Kindergartener? "Those were the good ol' days." Sakura said tiredly.

After another five minutes of lying there, she finally decided to get out of bed. She slowly mad it over to her dresser and picked out some clothes. "Jeans, shirt, underwear. Okay, shower time." She said to herself.

Sakura went into the bathroom and turned on the warm water. She then undressed and got into the shower.

Once she was done, she dried herself off and got dressed. She then quickly dried her hair and straightened it. When she was done, Sakura went downstairs. She quickly made herself some breakfast, which was her daily bowl of cereal. Once she was done eating, she put her bowl in the sink. Sakura looked at the clock. "7:30. School doesn't start for another half an hour. Might as well go now. I can always catch up with Ino and Tenten before school starts." Sakura planned.

Sakura grabbed her house keys and left her house, locking it on the way out. She put the keys in her pocket and started to walk to school.

Sakura only lived a block away from school, so she walked everyday unless it was raining, or it was winter. What's the point of school? I mean, you go there every year and learn the same things over and over. There's nothing knew to learn. Math isn't much different. It may look harder, but people just add long words to make it seem hard.Sakura stopped and looked at a house across the street. The 'For Sale' sign had been covered up with a 'Sold' sign insteadNew neighbors.Just what I need.More creepers in the neighborhood."Hey, Sakura!"

Sakura turned around, knowing the voice. "Hey, Tenten."

"How was your vacation, Sakura?" Tenten asked.

"Oh, pretty good. Can't complain I guess. What about you?"

"That's good. I've been sitting around the house."

"Let me guess, video games?" Sakura joked.

"I don't play them that much, do I?" Tenten wondered.

"No, I'm only kidding."

"So, Sakura. Do you have your eyes on anyone this year?"

"Not lately. I just don't think there's someone here who's right for me." Sakura told.

"I wouldn't count on that, Sakura. You're only like the prettiest girl I know in this school. I'm sure almost all the guys want you." Tenten told.

"Eh, maybe there'll be someone new this year. I mean, starting fresh might be better."


Once Sakura and Tenten arrived at the school grounds, Ino came running up to them. "Hey, girls!"

Ino and her cheery- self -.-' . Sakura thought. "Hey, Ino. Why are you here so early?" Tenten questioned.

"I should be asking you the same thing."

"I left early because there was nothing better to do, and I met Sakura on my way here."

"Yeah, and now we're here, talking. . .to. . .what's that?" Sakura wondered.

Sakura squinted her eyes. She saw a dust cloud in the distance. But what shocked her most was that it was coming right towards her. The next thing she knew, she was on the ground with someone on top of her. "Okay, seriously," Sakura looked to see who was on top of her, " Naruto, get off of me!"

Naruto quickly stood up and helped a fuming Sakura up. "Ah, sorry, Sakura. It's just that I haven't seen you in such a long time." Naruto told, putting a hand behind her head.

Sakura sighed. "Naruto, we saw each other yesterday!"

"That was yesterday?"

Sakura's eye twitched. "Naruto, sometimes I wonder."

Naruto nervously laughed. "Hey, guys. Long time no see."

Sakura looked and saw Kiba and Neji. Nothings change. "So, Sakura. What's your schedule?" Kiba asked.

Sakura dug through her pockets and pulled out a piece of paper.

1st Hour: Science – Orochimaru

2nd Hour: German – Kabuto

3rd Hour: Gym – Gai

4th Hour: Math – Ibiki

5th Hour: Lunch

6th hour: Art – Anko

7th Hour: History – Kakashi

8th Hour: Language Arts – Iruka

"You have all the same classes with me." Tenten answered.

"Me too." Ino added.

"What about you guys?" Sakura asked.

"I've got all classes except gym." Kiba told.

"Same here." Neji agreed.

"Come on. Let's go to our first hour class." Ino suggested.

Everyone nodded and started to follow Ino inside. They walked up the stairs of the building and into the school. As they walked through the halls, someone caught Sakura's eye. He was walking alone. Dressed in black jeans and a red shirt that had black trim. Blood-red hair that just reached his eyes. His eyes were the thing that stood out the most. Sky-blue eyes surrounded by black, stole a glance at her. Sakura smiled and kept walking with her friends. "Hey, Ino. Did you see that creep?" Kiba asked.

"Who wouldn't? Seriously, I think the emos are multiplying each year." Ino said.

"Yeah, they're getting creepier as the years go on, too. I mean, that guy was creepy. Don't wanna be messin' around with him." Tenten added.

"Talk about your eyeliner over-dose." Ino joked.

Everyone laughed. Everyone except Sakura. She wasn't the type to be making ridiculous comments about other people. Unless they were her friends, of course. She followed her friends into her first class: science. She never was much of a fan of science. All they ever did in this class was take notes and watch the teacher do all the experiments. Not the class doing experiments with their partners, but the teacher. She was already dreading the day.


Well, I decided to stick with Highschool stories. I seem to do a lot better on them for some reason.. Anyway, I hope you've enjoyed it so far! R&R
