Chapter 1: Project Partner
Sakura woke up on an ordinary Monday morning.
She sighed since she just remembered something.
New school again today… she yawned while thinking.
She was 15 and seemed like she was tired of transferring schools. But this time. She was staying at her new school for sure.
She took a bath, brushed her teeth, got dressed and ate her breakfast. She bid her mom and dad goodbye and walked to school since it was near.
Sakura was wearing dark blue baggy boy's-like pants, a pink bandanna on her head, blue sneakers and a light red spaghetti strap top on.
She entered the gates of her new school.
Well, I'm used to moving schools but I'm definitely not used to getting adjusted again. She thought.
She walked down the halls and looked at the paper she was holding.
Class B-2… she looked for it and found it on the second floor past the football field.
Her classes start… she once again looked at the paper.
7:30-4:00, lunch is 11:30-1:00. Recess during morning is 9:00-9:40. Seems easy enough to memorize.
She walked down the halls and explored her new school.
There was no way to deny that Sakura was gorgeous, so every time she walked down or passed guys, heads would turn and eyes would follow her until she was out of sight. She ignored them though.
"Excuse me! Excuse me please!" a blonde headed girl ran her way pass the corridors rather hurriedly and had a smile plastered on her face. She was wearing a purple dress shirt, mini shorts and white slippers with diamonds on.
Sakura didn't notice her come by so accidentally, the blonde-haired girl bumped into her.
"Damn" the blonde-haired girl said rubbing her head.
"I'm sorry." Sakura said. "My head was too fuzzy to notice you come by" she added.
"Nah, its okay" she smiled. "What's your name anyway?" she added.
"Haruno Sakura… you?" she said as she smiled brightly.
"Yamanaka Ino" she said returning the smile.
"Nice to meet you" Sakura said as she shook Ino's hand.
"You too" Ino said as their hand shake ended.
"Got ya!" a certain black-haired guy said as he held Ino's arm.
The guy was wearing a green shirt with an imprint of the words "life kills" in black and red, dark blue baggy shorts and green sneakers on.
"Finally" the guy said panting. "Give me my bag back" he said to Ino.
It was only now that Sakura realized Ino had two bags. One was a purple sling bag with cute icons pinned to it and the other black back pack one with the number 7 bar pin pinned on the front face and some boyish pins on the sling.
Ino laughed. "Great you caught me" Ino smirked as she handed the guy his bag.
"Oh yeah, Sakura. This is Nara Shikamaru. He's been my best friend since we were in 1st grade." Ino said as she gestured to the guy who just got his bag.
"Nice to meet you, I'm Haruno Sakura" Sakura said smiling yet again.
"Nice to meet you too" Shikamaru said giving her a handshake with a warm smile.
"Are you new here?" Ino asked.
"Yeah…" Sakura said as she scratched her head smiling.
"What class are you in?" Shikamaru asked.
"B-2" Sakura replied her smile still glued on her face.
"Cool! We three are all in the same class!" Ino said jumping up and down.
"Troublesome" Shikamaru said teasingly.
Ino pinched his ear as Sakura laughed.
Rrrrriiiiiinnnnngggg!!!!
"That's the bell, we better get to class" Shikamaru said.
They walked back, pass the football field and up the second floor.
It was incredible that there was such a huge school like this one.
When they entered the class, surprisingly the seating were 3-seating desks.
Obviously Sakura, Ino and Shikamaru sat down together.
"It seems like were the first one in the class" Ino said looking at her watch.
Slowly the room started to fill up after a while.
The second one there was there a shy girl with raven hair, white-lavender eyes, wearing a blue off shoulders top, army Capri pants and pink sandals.
"That's Hyuuga Hinata. Her family is very famous here since their very rich"
The third one that entered was a brown, set loose long haired guy, white-lavender eyes, wearing a black shirt, baggy pants and red chucks.
"That's Hyuuga Neji, the cousin of Hinata. Their status is the same. Rich and famous." Ino informed once again.
The fourth one that entered was a brown-haired hair girl with her hair in a ponytail that was curled; she was wearing a pink off shoulders long sleeve top with a picture of a cute animated frog on the shirt, a black above-the-knees skirt and blue sandals that had diamonds designed to it.
"That's Tenten" Ino said.
The next one that entered was a blonde-haired guy eating a bowl of ramen. He was wearing an orange short with an imprint of a bowl of steaming ramen, black shorts on and blue sneakers.
"That's Uzumaki Naruto. He's just a big mouth that's annoying but seldom fun to be with.
Last that entered was raven-haired guy wearing a black polo, baggy pants and black sneakers.
Sakura watched him as he sat down.
"That's Uchiha Sasuke; he's the heartthrob of the school, along with Neji. He's very hard to get along with though. His family is also famous and very rich." Ino explained dreamily.
"I bet he has a lot of girls then" Sakura said.
"He doesn't really have time for girls that much. He simply just ignores them. I don't know, but so far… he has never liked a girl to be precise."
"Oh…" Sakura said.
Just then a gray-haired man entered the classroom.
"Seems like you're the only ones in my class…hmmm… you're a small number. Anyways, I'll be your teacher for this school year. My name is Hatake Kakashi. Now I heard that we have a new student this year, it's… Hamako Satchure… oh I'm sorry, it's Haruno Sakura." Kakashi said. "Could you come here please?"
Sakura stood up and went down. She passed Sasuke who didn't even look at her when Kakashi introduced her. As soon as she passed him, something struck him. She smelled so good… like cherries to be exact. He then turned his gaze from the desk to her. She was beautiful. It even amazed him that he could notice a girl right now.
"Now I need someone to take her around the school, uhhhh…" Kakashi looked at his list of students. "Ms. Yamanaka Ino, would you take care of that for me please?" Kakashi asked.
Ino smiled cheerfully and nodded.
Sakura was gestured back to her seat. She once again passed Sasuke.
Every time she passed him it was like scent of heaven passing by. Sasuke even turned his head to look at her as she sat down then returned his gaze to Kakashi.
"It's the start of the school year and I already have a project. Don't whine cause' it's simple. I'm giving you each information papers. Your gonna' be doing this project by partners so that you could get to know each other. I'll be the one to do the pairing."
"Yamanaka Ino and Nara Shikamaru"
Ino tuck out her tongue on Shikamaru as he whispered under his breathe "troublesome"
"Tenten and Hyuuga Neji"
Neji and Tenten looked at each other. Tenten smiled. For some reason, Neji's cheeks turned bright pink and he looked away. Tenten chuckled then returned her gaze back to Kakashi.
"Hyuuga Hinata and Uzumaki Naruto"
Naruto looked at Hinata who was also looking at him. Naruto smiled brightly and waved at her. Hinata was surprised but smiled as she lowered her head to hide her blush and started to twiddle with her fingers.
So this means… I'm getting paired with Sakura thought.
"Haruno Sakura and Uchiha Sasuke"
Sakura looked surprised and was speechless. Sasuke was surprised too but didn't show it. They didn't look at each other though.
"Now girls, come here and get the papers here. After you do, go to your partners and fill it up. Pass it to me after lunch okay?"
The girls got the papers and headed for their partners.
//-.♥.-\//-.♥.-\//-.♥.-\//-.♥.-\//-.♥.-\
"Hi Hinata-chan! How was you summer?" Naruto asked smiling at her.
Hinata tunred brighter into red and started to twiddle her fingers yet again.
"Okay" She replied shyly.
//-.♥.-\//-.♥.-\//-.♥.-\//-.♥.-\//-.♥.-\
Tenten sat close to Neji and put up her best smile.
Neji once again turned bright pink and shook his head.
Tenten smiled and turned bright pink too.
"How was your summer Neji?" Tenten asked.
"It was okay" he replied with a smile.
"Well, partners again huh?" she chuckled.
"Yeah." He said as he chuckled too.
"This won't make much of a mess though" Tenten giggled.
Perhaps this was the reason why Neji admired Tenten. She was confident. And she always had a smile on her face. Plus, she was just like a child.
They were also project partners last year and they needed to paint a room in the house newly built.
Everything was turning out good except when Tenten fell off the ladder with a bucket of washable paint. Neji caught her but was unlucky enough to be covered in apple green paint. Tenten laughed. Neji put her down, put his hand in blue paint and wiped it on Tenten's face. That was when they started attacking each other in paint. That was a mess.
//-.♥.-\//-.♥.-\//-.♥.-\//-.♥.-\//-.♥.-\
"Shikamaru, I don't want you slacking off in this project okay? I want you to help me too." Ino lectured but when she turned to look at Shikamaru, he was already napping by the window.
She pinched his ear.
"Ouch!" he said.
"Didn't you just hear what I said?"
"Troublesome" Shikamaru murmured.
//-.♥.-\//-.♥.-\//-.♥.-\//-.♥.-\//-.♥.-\
"Hey…" Sakura greeted Sasuke with the best smile she could put up.
He really does look good, especially up close. No wonder he's the heartthrob of this school. Sakura thought.
"Hey…" Sasuke replied.
"I'm Haruno Sakura by the way" she said cheerfully to him.
Heaven scent was filling him again.
"I'm…-"he was cut off when Sakura put a finger to his lips.
"I know, your Uchiha Sasuke" she said as she put down her finger and tilted her head as she smiled more brightly.
Sasuke smiled a little. She's cute… he thought to himself.
Sasuke felt that he was about to blush. He needed to stop it fast.
