Life's Overrated

A/N: Okay, so basically I'm rewriting my story entitled INVU, because I thought it lacked in plot, it was rushed, and it written horribly. Sorry to those who enjoyed INVU, but I just had to rewrite it. The first part of this story is sort of like a prologue to start things off, but there's interaction during most of the end.

Btw, any new readers please read and enjoy!

Summary: Konoha Prep gets a new heartthrob, Uchiha Sasuke! Girls swoon at the sight of him, everyone loves him. Well, at least not proud geek Haruno Sakura. Add fangirls, love notes from a stranger, a jealous best friend, and two witches and you get trouble!

Disclaimer: I don't own NARUTO.

"Talking"

'Thinking'

Welcome To Konoha Prep!

The soothing wind ruffled the green leaves attached to the trees' branches, making them sway in unison. The sun hid behind the whitish-gray clouds, but let out several strays of bright light.

A pink haired senior sighed loudly, adjusting her glasses from her face and pulling a strand of hair from her eyes. Another day, another round of mock-the-geek fun.

Yeah, fun–for them.

Man, it made her so mad! Why did they always have to ruin her day? But really, was it even needed? Couldn't they all just get along, like well behaved and mature adults they were?

Haha. Yeah, right.

That'll happen, in like a million years. It's just how the 'system' works.

Ever heard of cliques? You know; jocks, goths, emos, cheerleaders, skater dudes, drama geeks, nerds? Man, the list goes on, and on, and on, and–but you get the picture.

It's like 'High School Musical', without the–er, drama and all the girly dancing. Yeah, the girly dancing. But this isn't 'High School Musical', this…this is life.

And in life, there are no good versus evil; hero gets the girl junk, fairytale romances all those movies give you. Nah, it's predator and prey, baby. It's all about attitude.

You got the sass, you got the looks, you got the bling-bling? DING, DING, DING! You're a winner! ...So they think–the stalkers, admirers, enemies, haters, the nerds.

The NERDS! Of course the nerds. To them, the pops got it good. Really, really good. Who doesn't like, or absolutely LOVE the pops? Hello?! They have it all. Looks, fame, and money. Money! They say "money isn't everything" or "don't you know the best things in life are free?" Puh-lease. Look where they are, everyone practically fawning–or obsessing–over them! Suure, money doesn't take you anywhere.

…Unless you're the pops.

Face it. They have that 'it' factor. It doesn't matter how huge your intellect is, if you're the most beautiful girl with a heart of gold–because they terminate anyone who challenges their superiority–or if you are just likable. It doesn't matter. It never matters. It will NEVER matter. Try if you must, but people are suckers when it comes to them.

Take Sakura's school for example. Well, it wasn't really a school. At least, it wasn't your typical drag of seven to eight hours of torture. She had to stay there every single day. One can only deal with so much of teasing, bullying, and back-talking snobs.

The horror!

Yeah, that's what you get when you go to a boarding school. And it wasn't just a mere boarding school; it was THE boarding school, known as Konoha Prep.

As in, the most talked about-fancy dandy-uniform wearing-pride filled Japanese academy in the country. Heck, the world. People around the world craved to be invited, because being in an academy like that led people to successors that dominated the world, waving their millions at the unfortunate ones who were too lazy to get an education. Talk about pressure much.

The worst thing was it was filled with rich snobs.

She had to spend all her time with them. Ugh. And they didn't like her either; from her unusual pink hair, smartness, looks, and bite-me attitude, she was annoying. So they bossed her around to get even.

Sadly, it was easy too. Sakura wasn't the richest student that attended Konoha Prep; in fact, she received a full scholarship for her academic skills.

Hard to believe, maybe. But it's true. And why wouldn't people despise her? Here they were, their cash-making parents paying for their intuition–when they should have spent their money on them–and Sakura sauntered over the obstacles of paying. Even the parents weren't so thrilled.

But there was always Rei Miro. The other smarty who received a scholarship out of a thousand five hundred students, and her best friend.

At least she had someone to talk to in that crazy place. And just because they hung out with each other everyday, didn't mean she liked him; meaning she didn't harbor any strong feelings for the boy, if you catch my drift. But they didn't take it that way, no.

And now, they were dubbed the "Dweeby Duo".

Ugh.

Another thing to add to her list of 'Ways-They-Make-My-Life-Hell'.

"Oof!" A bespectacled boy tripped, flapping his arms up and down that resembled a chicken. He landed straight on his face, but managed not to break his glasses.

"Hahahahahahaha!!..." Everyone laughed. Sakura came running to her best friend and pulled him up by his arm.

"Are you okay, Rei-kun?" Sakura asked cautiously, helping Rei swat away the dust from his uniform.

"Y-yes, Sakura-chan," Rei replied, blushing red from all those pair of eyes staring at them. Sakura finished helping him, and picked up his text books off the shiny ground.

"Here," she handed them to him, and he muttered a soft 'thank you'. Sakura simply nodded, then glared at the blond haired girl to her side.

"What is wrong with you?!" Sakura questioned, voice raised and eyebrows scrunched. The blond laughed at Sakura's question, her azure eyes twinkling with amusement.

"Oh, nothing that concerns you, billboard brow," Ino replied coolly, examining her baby blue coated manicured nails, leaning causally on the wall. Rei squirmed; fighting wasn't needed, was it? Forgive and forget, right? …And they were making a scene!

"Anything that harms my best friend concerns me, Ino-pig," Sakura spat. Ino raised a brow, lifting her head up and peered at Sakura with narrowed eyes.

"Over protective, much? You might as well tell us all you're dating. From the looks of it, you'd make the perfect match," Ino chuckled, and everyone joined in, chanting "Dweeby Duo, Dweeby Duo, Dweeby Duo!"

"I rather be a geek than an egotistical diva like you, pig!" With a final glare thrown at Ino, Sakura snatched Rei's arm and dragged him down the hall, turning swiftly around the corner.

Ino smirked slyly, and hollered after them, "It fits you so well too!" She flipped her elegant pony-tail in a flirtatious way, smiling radiantly and snapped her fingers. She walked away, her posse following behind her.

"I. HATE. HER. SO. MUCH!" Sakura stabbed her now damaged notebook with her broken pencil, a scowl grazing her lips. Rei shivered, watching as Sakura pummeled the poor thing, small holes appearing on the paper.

"Sakura-chan! Stop! It's fine, really… Stuff like that happens all the time!" Rei reassured his pink-haired friend, but Sakura paid no mind. She stabbed and stabbed, taking out all the anger she held from earlier that day.

'Ino must pay! Ino must pay!' Inner Sakura thought crazily. She could just picture it now: sneaking into the witch's dorm, quietly, as the bombshell soaped her face with the alien-like gunk; she'd snatch that pretty hair of hers and take out those tempting scissors and snap, snap! Bye bye hair!

'I can just see her face.'

'I know. We should definitely bring a camera!'

'Yeah! Then we can post it on the boards and–'

'Is she going to be bald?'

'I didn't think of that! Yeah, cut all her hair off and donate it to charity!'

'Awesome! Ha! Take that witch!'

'Honey, were good.'

'Che, you know it–'

"Sakura-chan!" Rei cried, seizing Sakura by the shoulders and shaking her roughly.

"Huh? Huh? What happened?" Sakura moved her head side to side, checking if anything was wrong. Everything was in place. She stared at her best friend, and saw his face a bland pale, eyes wide open, and mouth shaped as an 'o'.

"Whew," Rei sighed, letting go of Sakura. He plopped down on her made bed, taking his glasses off and using the hem of his shirt to clean his glasses. Sakura sighed.

"What was THAT about?" Sakura asked, shuffling her homework for today into her book bag. After she finished, she stared at him.

"Hm?" Sakura furthered. Rei placed his glasses on his face.

"You scared me."

"I scared you?" Sakura questioned.

"Well, yeah. Did you see that twisted smile on your face? Your face was all white and you were rubbing your hands together and you were laughing maniacally," Rei explained. "…Creepy too." He added.

"So?"

"So? That's weird."

"Humph! From the guy who has a diary!" Sakura took a pillow and hit Rei on the head with it playfully.

"Hey! It's called a journal!" Rei tried to block her attacks, but Sakura overpowered him. Why was he so weak?

"Whatever! Diary-boy!" Sakura laughed, continuing to swat at him.

"You have one too!" Rei took one of Sakura's long, fluffy pillows and started whacking at her.

"I'm a girl!"

"So?!" They whacked at each other and feathers flew into the air. They accidentally knocked down items on the tops of the shelves during the battle. Sakura giggled, then Rei whacked at her face and she fell down the bed.

"OH, IT'S ON!"

"Ahh!! NOO!"

"Take that, and that!"

"Mommy help me!"

"No one can save you now!"

Whack and whack they went. Suddenly the door flew open and Ami appeared. Her long, brown hair fell past her shoulders, and she screamed at the sight of the geek-fest.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" She threw off her converse and rushed at the two. They didn't notice her and were still hitting pillows at each other. Rei swung hard but Sakura ducked, and he accidentally hit Ami in the face.

"I'm so sorry!" Rei threw the pillow aside and tried helping Ami up. Ami pushed him away and stood up on her own. She gagged a little, a few feathers coughing out of her mouth. Sakura scrunched her nose in disgust. That was a total yuck moment.

"How dare you hit me?!" Ami yelled at Rei.

"I'm so, so, so, so, sorry!" Rei apologized repeatedly, but Ami whilst him away. She glared at Sakura, but Sakura was unfazed.

"GET YOUR GEEKY BOYFRIEND OUT OF HERE!" Sakura stared at her roommate nonchalantly, but Rei listened to the order. He grabbed his backpack of the ground and sprinted out the door, calling out faint 'goodbye.'

"Man, Ami. Why do you always have to scare away my friend?" Sakura crossed her arms and glared into Ami's eyes. Ami glared back.

"Shut up! Do you see this mess? Clean it up, Haruno!"

"No, thanks."

"Clean it up or else!"

"Or else what?" Sakura asked. Haha, it was fun messing with her. Ami pulled at her hair like she was a mad woman.

"Ugh! Just clean it up before I get mad!" Ami yelled. 'You're already mad…' Sakura thought.

"…Fine…" Ami huffed and began walking to the bathroom to clean herself up.

"…As you wish, princess."

"I HEARD THAT!"

Sakura smirked.
