Prestige- A SasuSaku fanfic.
Chapter one:
Sakura hastily tied her hair up in a messy pony tail.
Pulling a clip from her mouth she pinned it to her rosy hair.
Quickly assessing herself in the small mirror in front of her, to her standards she looked average. To most other peoples standards she would have looked amazing.
Sakura heaved out a sigh, resting her head on the leather apparel of the limo's seat.
Today would be her first day at her new school. Prestige was the name.
It was the best school in all of Japan. You were either extremely wealthy or an extreme genius if you attended. Sakura was both. Although she didn't like showing her smart side as much as she used to.
She had to admit, she had been dreading this day for the last few weeks she knew she was transferring schools.
She hadn't been expecting it, her father had sprung it on her.
He had told her she needed to reassess her priorities. In other words she had been a bad girl and he was sick of it.
Sakura mumbled something to herself as she pulled up one of her socks.
She looked messy, the uniform which was meant to look very proper, hung off her.
Her white shirt was hanging messily over her short checked, marron skirt, the first two buttons were undone showing off a small amount of cleavage. Her neck bow was un even, one of her grey socks was halfway down her leg, her royal blue blazer was left open and her leather ballet flats were replaced with red soled, black high heels.
"We have arrived, Sakura-san" Seiji exclaimed as the limo came to a rather abrupt halt, Seiji was Sakura's limo driver. He had been for over ten years now.
Sakura mumbled a thank you under her breath. She grabbed her Louis Vutton hand bag, that was far to big to simply hold her cell phone, I-pod, make up and wallet and jumped out of the long, sleek limo, slamming the door as hard as she could. To show she was terribly unhappy to be here.
The sun was bright, rays of white light streaming into Sakura's jade green eyes.
"Ughh" she sighed.
The main building that stood in front of her was beautiful. It looked more like a medieval castle then a school. Seiji was carrying her many bags already, he looked awkward as he tried to managed to hold four large suitcases and two smaller bags.
The gardens were also beautiful, the grass was lush and green. Lilies, roses, Tulips, poppies and lavenders were scattered everywhere as well as a few Sakura tree's. There were pebbled walk ways here and there and small ponds in the right places. Sakura had her eyes closed and her nose in the air as she walked quickly to the main building Seiji trailing after her, and even though she couldn't see it. She knew people were looking and most likely talking about her.
"Hello and welcome to Prestige" the lady at the counter exclaimed.
Sakura rolled her eyes, this sounded more like a hotel then a school.
"You must be Haruno, Sakura?" she asked.
Sakura gave a curt nod.
"We've heard a lot about you" the little blonde women said.
"I bet" Sakura mumbled.
The blonde woman ignored that comment and instead carried on.
"Okay we have you time table here, also a few brochures telling you what's happening at the school. On your time table it will tell you your dorm, there's also a little map there in case you get lost. This place is big you know. And your student journal" the women said passing her a pile of paper and a books.
Sakura took the pile, and carried on down the hallway, Seiji had left her bags at the front office, the blonde had said someone would take her bags up. This made Sakura feel even more as if she were in a hotel.
Sakura passed the sheets of paper to Seiji.
She had her blackberry out, obviously instant messaging someone. She ignored the glances she got from people as she walked.
"Your in room D16" Seiji exclaimed.
Sakura shrugged. "Where's that?"
"Just follow me Sakura-san I'll lead the way" Seiji offered with a kind smile.
Sakura nodded, half looking at his back and half looking at her pink blackberry.
"You should really be paying more attention Sakura-san, other wise you won't be able to find your way out".
Sakura shrugged. "I'll get someone to show me" was her reply.
Seiji nodded.
Sakura admitted it did feel like she was winding around a lot of corners. And she had even been outside a few times before she reached her door.
"Here you are Sakura-san"
Seiji said with a slight bow of his head.
"Thanks" Sakura said still not looking away from her blackberry after all she was instant messaging Sai. The guy Sakura had to dump because she had to move to a boarding school.
Just the thought made her angry.
Without another word, thought or movement from her gaze that was still focused on the tiny screen in front of her, she pushed the door open.
"Later Seiji" was all she said before she closed the door behind her.
"Sakura Haruno?".
Sakura nodded without looking up to see who had called her name.
"WELCOME!" The girly voice screeched, enveloping her in a bear hug.
Sakura had to look up now as she forced the girl off her.
"My name is Ino Yamanaka" the girl said as she took a step away from the new girl.
Sakura looked at the girl, she sure did look the part. She had multiple badges pinned to her chest, her uniform was perfect. Scratch that. She was perfect.
"Hi" Sakura exclaimed, hers eyes still widened from the shock of nearly being squeezed to death.
Ino chuckled to herself her crystal blue eyes, glistening with amusement.
"Sorry about her" another girl exclaimed.
She had long brown hair tied in two neat pig tails, she had large brown eyes, and porcelain skin. She was pretty, not as pretty as Ino though.
"I'm Ten-ten, and this is Hinata and Riku" Ten-ten said pointing to the other two girls in the room.
One was sitting on the sofa, a box of tissues on one side of her, a bunch of used ones on the other. And a tub of cookie dough ice-cream in her lap. It looked as if she had been crying. Her eyes were red and puffy.
Sakura now knew her name was Riku. She had thick black lashes covering her electric green eyes, she had freckles scattered across her nose, and a mouse like face. She looked small and petite she was also very pale. She had pitch black hair which she wore out, her hair flowing everywhere. The other girl Hinata was just as small, and just as pale. Her hair was a bluey color and her eyes were an unusual lavender color.
Sakura looked around at her surroundings the walls were a creamy color and bright, there were large windows, streaming white light into the open room. There was French doors opening out onto a porch that looked out over the campus. Sakura knew she must be about four floors off the ground.
In the corner of the room there was a large doorway that led into the bedroom. Sakura cold faintly see the large four poster beds that sat in the room.
"Wow you have a pretty large forehead there" Ino pointed out.
Sakura glared at her.
Ino shrugged "your still pretty though" Ino added to save herself.
Sakura gave a faint smile. She liked compliments.
Riku sat up wiping her face once more, before she burst out into tears.
Sakura stared at her.
"She just got dumped" Ino said.
Riku glared at Ino through her sobs.
"What she would have found out anyway".
Riku sighed, and sobbed some more.
Hinata comforted her, Sakura just stood there looking at her curiously.
"Why can't" sob "I find" sob "a de-" sob "a decent guy". Riku wailed.
Ten-ten sat beside her, taking a spoonful of ice-cream.
"You will Riku, don't worry Hitoshi has always been a player. But there will be someone great out there for you" Ten-ten comforted.

Sakura lay on her bed, the latest issue of Cosmopolitan in her hands.
She had got on with Ino and the girls. It had taken her an hour of talking but he felt comfortable with them
Ino was sitting on the bottom of her bed, looking through her clothes and comparing them to her own.
Riku was updating her myspace on her lap-top with Ten-ten. They were both giggling hysterically so Sakura presumed they weren't doing exactly what they claimed to be doing.
Hinata was sitting next to Sakura half reading an older issue of Cosmopolitan and half watching the latest episode of her favourite teenage soap opera.
Ino stopped what she was doing for a moment to announce how skinny a character in the show was, and how fake she looked.
Sakura laughed to herself because Ino resembled the character greatly.
Ino threw a pillow at Sakura as if reading her mind.
Sakura put on a fake shocked look and giggled to herself.
Her new friends were great.
---
Sakura slipped out of bed, she hadn't slept much but Hinata and Ten-ten were already up.
After a quick shower, Sakura got dressed into her uniform making sure, to make it look a little tidier today.
Ino was sitting on the sofa still in her pyjamas, a bowl of fruit loops in her hand.
She looked sleepy, her crystal blue orbs, staring blankly at the television screen.
Riku was trying to drag her off the couch, trying to force her to get ready.
Ino just grunted. Sakura smiled to herself as she walked into the small kitchen area and pulled an apple of the counter top.
Ino yawned slowly, she looked down at her watch.
"Holy crap! I have ten minutes, why didn't anyone tell me?" she yelled as she ran around the room like a maniac, striping and re clothing herself in the middle of the lounge area.
She was frantically brushing her hair, trying to apply her mascara and pulling her shoes on all at the same time.
Boom.
The inevitable happened, and Yamanaka Ino was lying flat on her face.
"Ouch" was all she managed to grunt out before re composing herself, and getting up swiftly making sure to take her time this time.
"So what do you have first, Sakura?" Ten-ten asked as the five of them walked into the schooling grounds.
Sakura shrugged, pulling a crumpled piece of white paper out of her pocket.
"Hmmm, Math…" she said, the look on her face disapproving.
Sakura had noticed they were all standing between to large buildings, that mirrored each other, both buildings looked exactly the same. In between these building was a large garden on which they were walking.
The garden was always dark and mysterious because in the afternoon it caught the shadows of the girls dorms, and in the morning it caught the shadow of the mirroring buildings. The boys dorms.
Sakura noticed up in sight a large bunch of boys, all walking towards the middle of the garden, towards the exit.
Sakura most probably wouldn't have noticed this group of boys if it hadn't been for the large mob of girls surrounding them.
Fan girls.
"Who are they?" Sakura whispered.
Ino rolled her eyes.
"Them, they're the 'it' boys on campus. Completely popular, hundreds of fan girls, they're good at sports, they're intelligent and of course they're all amazingly good looking. Bar one. Uchiha Sasuke." Ino exclaimed.
Sakura looked puzzled. "So he's just a tag along?"
They all laughed.
"No Sakura, Uchiha Sasuke is a God".
