Sakura Haruno was running out the front door of her 3-story home when she realized that she'd left her phone on her bed.

Great! She thought as she glanced at her watch. Its 8:45 and I'm not even out of the house yet!

She never liked being late on her first day at a new school; it was bad enough that she'd transferred in the middle of the school year, being there early gave her more time to make new friends before their own came.

She was so busy panicking about her tardiness and coming isolation that she didn't even notice the tall figure that stood with his back to her.

"Oof!" she grunted at their impact as they both landed with her on his back.

"Fuck" he groaned, but otherwise laid still.

She rolled off of him and gathered her fallen supplies before running off without so much as an apology.

Sasuke:

"Watch where you're going, hoe! Are you okay Sasuke?"

Sasuke glared at Ino from his spot on the ground. "Do I look alright?"

His glare was interrupted when a strong and tanned hand reached down to help him up. "She should be on the football team." Naruto said as he turned toward the direction of the running girl and they saw caught a glance of pink.

Who the hell was she? Sasuke thought as Ino brushed him off.

"Let's go." He tucked her under his arm and began walking toward Konoha High.

. . . . .

"Attention class!" The white haired teacher said over the talking class. "We have a new student. This is Sakura Haruno."

Sakura felt herself blush as 26 pairs of eyes turned to watch her. Almost every student there looked like they were trouble-makers except for an indigo haired girl who sat next to an empty seat in the corner.

As if she felt Sakura's gaze, the girl looked up, only to turn bright red and quickly look away.

"Can I sit here?" she asked as she approached the girl who slightly nodded. "I'm Sakura."

She had to lean forward and strain her ears to hear the other girl's mumbled 'Hinata Hyuuga'.

"We're h-having a free p-per-period this c-class," Hinata stuttered nervously. "So, w-we can do w-whatever."

Sakura nodded as she glanced around the class and caught a few people staring at the quietly conversing girls. "Is everyone so… sleazy here?"

Hinata shook her head. "There a-are a few n-nice people here, t-too."

"Like who?"

Hinata blushed slightly, "Naruto Uzumaki."

Sasuke:

"Stop being such an idiot!" Sasuke hissed when Naruto began asking every person in the hall if they'd seen a girl with pink hair. He couldn't stand when Naruto couldn't control his impulses. "You're so annoying, Naruto!" Ino screamed as she watched the hyper blonde began shouting to people who were on the other side of the hallway.

"I can't help it," Naruto said. "I've got to know who she is and why I haven't seen her before!"

Sasuke raised an eyebrow at Ino's anime sweat drop and actually considered what his friend was saying.

Why hadn't they seen her before? He doubted that pink hair was that easy to overlook, especially in a school filled with bleach blondes, fake redheads and black haired divas.

'Finally, something new for a change.' He thought as his gaze drifted along the flyer filled walls.

"… Right Sasuke?"

The stunning and bored guy looked back toward his girlfriend. "Yeah, sure..."

Naruto sighed and hung his head. "You guys are leaving me with Karin again? C'mon guys! Don't do this to me!" he screamed as they began walking away.

"So," Ino whispered in what she probably thought was a seductive tone, but all Sasuke felt was weariness. "Where are we going?"

He glanced at his eager girlfriend with a fake smirk. "Just shut up."
