A/N: My second Naruto Fanfiction! Yippee! I've already made one already. It was entitled "sweet sacrifice" yeah, stop the blabbing and start the writing. Don't worry, I will only write it word by word. (kidding. laughs) okay, here's the first chapter of my story.
P.S. I have no intention of telling you the plot or story of this story, so if you want to know the flow of this, read and review. ;)
Chapter 1: Misses
Walking alone in the streets of The Leaf Village was always been a routine of Uchiha Sasuke since he started in junior high. Describing him would only need two words, "lone wolf". He always chooses to be alone even though there are many people who wanted to hang along with him.
Some people also think of him as stubborn and stupid. In their class, he has been known as the quietest person before Hinata but is the top student. Kind of odd right? Maybe for him, being silent gives him time to think about or analyze the given situation. The hardest thing for him is to hear bundles of gossip about him being the loser of the time. He hates that, you know, being judged by people who don't even know who you really are.
Sasuke's not rude way back but as time passes by, he develops that thing that made him been hated by other persons. He was always contradictory in everything he sees people do. One thing is their saying that "it's better to be loved than hated." For Sasuke, it only means one thing, nonsense.
'Tomorrow' he whispered. Tomorrow, it is not an ordinary day for him. It's just that by that time, while walking down the streets, he is already thinking of what he's going to do next. Yes, school has already started and they're already in their fourth week.

Upon entering the school grounds, he immediately went to his room. It was in the left wing of the school on the second floor at the third room to the left. It was a long way before you could reach his classroom but to him, it was nothing, he was already used to it. Talking about him studying there for 12 years already. Yes, he is in the 12th grade and he could just wish that it would run a little faster than ever.
When he opened the door, an eraser was flying before him, lucky for him that he was able to see and avoid that. He smirked as he saw Ino and Naruto fighting again with Hinata pissing them off.
"Would you stop it!" Hinata shrieked. "It's only early in the morning and you already do what you do best!" she yelled for another time. Hyuga Hinata was always the peacemaker in their classroom and there was one thing she would wish if she were given one, silence. Hinata has also been considered the most beautiful girl in their room. What is also good to her is that she is kind and gentle, a perfect girl. The only thing that makes her figure bad is her shyness.
Naruto and Ino paused. "What could that be?" the both asked together.
Ino then glared at Naruto. "Would you stop imitating what I say." She said.
"You're the one who kept imitating me."
"Am not!"
"Are too."
"Am not, am not, am not, am not, am not, am not, am not!"
Before Naruto could say anything back at the blonde-haired woman, Neji threw the book he was reading to the face of Naruto. Hyuga Neji was also a peacemaker in that room like his cousin but he was more on being good at every subject in school except physical education and English.
"Shut up Naruto-kun! Don't destroy everyone's morning again." Neji shot as he came nearer to him to pick up the book he had just thrown.
Finally, Naruto took his seat and kept his mouth shut and so with Ino.
"Fine" Uzumaki Naruto was a person with a loud mouth and a very annoying voice. He has a fair-haired hair and he loves the color orange. Naruto's not a typical student like what you think. Although he is loud and annoying when you ask him to be serious he will be the most serious you will ever meet. Even more serious than Neji but no one can beat Sasuke when it comes to those matters.
If there were Naruto to act as the loudest guy in that room, Ino would be the perfect alternative for him. She also has a loud mouth likewise with Naruto. She also has a fair-haired hair like Naruto but hers was lighter. She was the perfect fraternal twin of Naruto.
Sasuke was just standing there; waiting if there would be any erasers flying his way anymore. Then he knocked the door and smirked. "Can I enter now?" he asked.
"What made you think that you aren't welcome here in this room?" Shikamaru said sarcastically as he finally opened his eyes after sleeping in the room.
Choji then punched him. "You didn't sleep last night again didn't you?" he asked as he took a piece of his chips and placed it on his mouth.
"Of course I did Choji-kun but only for 3 hours. My mother asked me to do something and I ended up finishing it at 1 am. Do I have big eye bags to pair with that?" He answered, a little sarcastic at the last part then his voice got softer and softer. Shikamaru is a person with black hair being pony tailed into spikes. According to their teacher, Iruka, he is the smartest student in their league with an IQ higher than 200 but he just don't want it to be exposed by not doing his best in his subjects in school.
Choji punched his table to awaken his dead nerves. "Nara! Wake up!" he yelled. Akimichi Choji has always been Shikamaru's best friend. He has always been there for him whenever Shikamaru needs any help. Choji hates to be called fat even if he knows that he is one.
"I'm awake Choji-kun."

"We'll just settle you to a room where we know you could be comfortable to Ms. Haruno Sakura. And to where you could also easily fit in." The principal said to Sakura as he chuckled.
She smiled as she stood. "It's okay even if which class you put me in Mr. Principal. And your name is Sir?" she asked.
"Sarutobi." Likewise, with Sakura, he also stood up as he stretched out his hand. "It would b a great honor for you to be part of our family." He said.
She took his hand and gave him a handshake. "No Mr. Sarutobi, the honor is all mine." She said then left.
XxXxXxX
At last, the teacher finally arrived after ten minutes of waiting.
"Your late again Iruka-sensei." Demanded Naruto as he yelled. Their teacher just rubbed his head and laughed.
"I'm sorry Naruto, but the principal called us for an urgent meeting about the new student. Opps, did I just spill something?" Iruka said as he covered his mouth.
Sasuke raised an eyebrow. "Wait, there's going to be a new student? Which class is he, or she going to be in?" he asked as Hinata giggled.
"Hey, I don't know his…or her gender you know." Sasuke is way different when he is in their room compared to outside that four-walled room. In their room, he has time for tiny jokes and small laughs knowing that he feels comfortable being with them comparing to the other classes. But he only does that sometimes. Being quiet and serious was his thing and his trademark that no one could destroy, not even one of his fan girls.
Sasuke is also popular in that school were he studies because most of the girls think his cute and some think he's hot. A lot already came running to him like paparazzi just to get his attention but all he ever did was ignore all of them.
"No!" Their teacher said as he slapped his head. "Sarutobi-sama's going to kill me when he finds out that I already had told my students about the new student." He then closed his eyes. And to his surprise, when he opened it, Naruto was sitting on his table staring at him.
"Naruto-kun, get down from there." Iruka commanded but he didn't obey it.
"I'll get down from here if you tell me about the new student you just told us." Naruto demanded as he sat down on the table with no intention of standing up.
Iruka thought of something, which could get him down. "Naruto-kun." He called out in a smooth voice with the intention of hypnotizing him and making him forget about that certain topic he wasn't suppose to tell.
"Nani?" he asked as he went closer to Iruka. Then the teacher started to walk towards his seat,
Sasuke shook his head, as he already knew the plan of their dear teacher Iruka-sensei. 'He's such a dimwit .' he thought as he saw the only Yamanaka in the room wink at him, which made him shiver.
Yamanaka Ino is also a fan girl of Sasuke that's why Sasuke isn't that close to her comparing the other girls in their room.
"You remember where are we now in our studies?" he asked straight forwardly knowing that he already washed to topic about the new student away from Naruto's head.
He thought as he tried to remember what it was, "I don't remember Iruka-sensei, I'm sorry." He said as the whole class giggled. Then Iruka-sensei gave a wink to them. Good thing that Naruto was seated in front.
"He so slow." Shikamaru whispered.
"Tell me about it." Choji answered in whispers also.

Sakura finally got home after talking to the principal about her being transferred to their school. She took a rest on her bed but she just couldn't she was missing something, her friends which where in the place they used to live at. Yeah she was used to moving houses after three or four months because of her father always getting business companies far from where they are but this time, she didn't want to leave. She learned to love that place not like the other places she used to lived at.
It was a boredom in that room of hers so she got her laptop and opened it. She immediately opened the application used for chatting and saw some of her friends online.
"Kairi's online, Sora's online, Roxas' online, Naminé's online and Axel's online. Gee, I already miss those guys." She thought as she clicked the button used to open up a conference. She invited Kairi, Sora, Roxas, Naminé and Axel and luckily they all agreed to join.
Kairi08 has joined the conference
Angelofdarknessnaminé has joined the conference
Sorakeywielder has joined the conference
Roxas000 has joined the conference
AxelVIII has joined the conference
Angelofdarknessnaminé: Hi Sakura!
Sorakeywielder: Sakura, come back here, I'm missing you so much!
Sorakeywielder: I also need your help with you know who.
Harunosakura: you can share it by means of chat. I know I can also help you but not as much help like I used to do before I was there beside you. Just pm me if you need something okay?
Kairi08: Sora, who's the girl? You haven't told me a thing.
Roxas000: Yoh, peeps! How's like there.
Harunosakura: you still didn't change Roxas, you still talk the same men.
Roxas000: Yoh! How's it going there? You like your new school?
Kairi08: Sakura, I'm missing you so much!
AxelVIII: Hey forehead girl!
Harunosakura: same here. I hate my father. Why does he even need to bring us to the place where his business is located? He could just live us to where we used to live right?
Harunosakura: shut up axel! Peace.
AxelVIII: Sorry
SoraKeywielder: so he could look for you whenever something bad happens to you.
Roxas000: he's right!
Harunosakura: oh, Roxas about the school thing, I haven't really started yet, I just got from there and the principal said that I'm only starting tomorrow.
Angelofdarknessnaminé: Just think about it, what would your father feel if you are away from here.
Roxas000: Okay, just don't forget to update me with anything that happens there.
Harunosakura: :)
Kairi08: He loves you Sakura, that's why.
AxelVIII: And we'll see each other again.
Sorakeywielder: yeah! :) you know we'll always be waiting for you
Angelofdarknessnaminé: We'll always be here whenever you need us Sakura
Harunosakura: thanks guys.
AxelVIII: don't mention it.
Kairi08: Hey, sorry, GTG, I still have classes to attend to.
Kairi08 has left the conference
Angelofdarknessnaminé: same here
Angelofdarknessnaminé has left the conference
Sorakeywielder: me too
Sorakeywielder has left the conference
Roxas000: Let's just talk next time. Okay?
Roxas000 has left the conference
AxelVIII: BB, we love you!
AxelVIII has left the conference
With that, she also signed out. But still, there was a smile left on her face because she knows that the friends that she chose to be with last time were her true friends and she was hoping to find friends like them in the school her father enrolled her to.

At the afternoon, she decided to go out again but this time, she decided to walk. Sakura got out of their house without even any permission from her parents. She brought her I-pod with her incase she gets bored in walking.
Meanwhile, at the school, the students were waiting for the school bell to ring and signal that that day was finally over. The subject was so boring that the only thing they want to do is get out of that stupid class and go home already. The clock was ticking so loud that every student in the room would hear it. Some started a count of from ten. That count off was very contagious so the others also joined in.
"5"
"4"
"3"
"2"
"1"
All the students were counting all together but silently, who knows, the teacher might be irritated and delay their dismissal.
"At last that day was over." Naruto said as he got out of the room and stretched out his hand.
'I'm still wondering if he still remembers about the new student Iruka-sensei spilled this morning.' Neji thought as he watched Sasuke walking straight home. He was always alone whenever he goes home.
On his way home, he had a little bump with a girl with pink hair and eyes of emerald green. He stopped as he stared at her for a second then looked away.
Sakura gasped. "I'm sorry…I didin't mean to…" she apologized as she removed the headphones of her I-pod form her ears. Sasuke just grunted a response.
"Next time look where you are going Miss." He said then left.
Sakura stayed frozen there but she didn't care about what the guy she just bumped said. "What a rude guy." She muttered as she put on her headphones to where they were before he came.

The chapter one is somewhat odd really, but I promise that the next chapters would be good; I wouldn't want to judge it great because I'll only be leaving that, to you, you, you. Got it? All right! Read and Review anyone. I'll update when I get less or more than 5 reviews. :)
