Yay! My first fanfic, so sorry if it's a bit crappy. Oh, well. READ! Oh, and then review. Please. I beg of you. Okay let's get on with the story.

'ME!/ song lyrics'
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Sakura POV)
'Okay. First day of High school. No biggy. I can and will do this.'
'Deep breath, babe. Just remember. Stay cool and absolutely do not say anything unless you need too.' My inner said with a smirk.
'Hmph. I thought I killed you.' I replied.
'Babe, I don't die till you die.' Inner said as she(or me really) filed her nails.
'Dammit. But lucky for you, I don't plan on dieing any time soon.' I said smugly.
I ripped myself out of the conversation with my oh so annoying inner. Then I gulped. Then I freaked out. HIGH SCHOOL! AHH! "H-hey, Sakura," Hinata, my like bfflnmwheiapmcaemaaicbaam (best friend for life no matter what happens even if a purple monkey comes and eats me alive and I come back as a meatball) said. "Y-yeah?" I answered. Ino let out a laugh. "Hey, billboard-brow, I thought Hinata was the only one that stutters," Ino. My ex-bfflnmwheiapmcaemaaicbaam. We were still friends, but just not as close. Ino was all wrapped up in boys and I was wrapped up in my…'emo' music. PARAMORE IS NOT EMO! Okay, so maybe Evanescence can be a BIT emo sometimes. But it's emotional music. And HELLO, Emo is short for emotional. E-M-O-T-I-O-N-A-L. E-M-O. I smiled a bit at my thoughts. I gulped and almost missed what Hinata said next. "D-do you know w-what room w-we're in?" I nodded. "708, Kakashi-sensei," I answered.
Gaara smiled at us. "It's no big deal, guys. I heard that Kakashi-sensei is always late, so it doesn't even matter if you're late for homeroom," I grabbed Hinata's hand, flashed a grin at Gaara and ran down the hall. Hinata grabbed Gaara by the wrist, since he was also in our homeroom. I ran down the hall, dragging them with me. 702…704…706…708!I thought. "We're he-re!" I said with a grin, stretching out 'here'. Gaara was panting, and Hinata looked like she was about to collapse. "Sakura..How…the hell…do you …have…this.mu…ch…ener…gy?" Gaara asked. I shrugged and chose a seat in the back of the class. Hinata followed suit. Whistling, I turned on my iPod and plugged in my earphones.
'PARAMORE! PARAMORE!' My inner chanted.
'Fine, but then I get to choose the Paramore song.' I said with a devious grin
'Hmph. Fine.' My inner said, pissed off.
I quickly chose a song and settled down.
I'm
in the business of misery, let's take it from the top
She's got a
body like an hourglass it's ticking like a clock
It's a matter of
time before we all run out...
When I thought he was mine, she
caught him by the mouth
I waited eight long months
She
finally set him free
I told him I can't lie, he was the only one
for me
Two weeks and we had caught on fire
She's got it out
for me, but I wear the biggest smile
Whoa... well I never
meant to brag
But I got him where I want him now
Whoa... it was
never my intention to brag
To steal it all away from you now
But
God does it feel so good
'Cause I got him where I want him now
And
if you could then you know you would
'Cause God it just feels
so...
It just feels so good
Second chances they don't ever
matter, people never change
Once a whore, you're nothing more, I'm
sorry that'll never change
And about forgiveness, we're both
supposed to, have exchanged
I'm sorry honey, but I'm passing up,
now look this way!
Well there's a million other girls who do
it just like you
Looking as innocent as possible to get to
who
They want and what they like, it's easy if you do it right
Well I refuse, I refuse, I refuse!
Whoa... Well I
never meant to brag
But I got him where I want him now
Whoa...
it was never my intention to brag
To steal it all away from you
now
But God does it feel so good
'Cause I got him where I want
him right now
And if you could then you know you would
'Cause
God it just feels so...
It just feels so good ...
I watched
his wildest dreams come true
Not one of them involving you
Just
watch my wildest dreams come true
Not one of them involving
...
Whoa, well I never meant to brag
But I got him where I
want him now ...
Whoa...I never meant to brag
But I got him
where I want him now
Whoa... it was never my intention to brag
To
steal it all away from you now
But God does it feel so good
'Cause
I got him where I want him now
And if you could then you know you
would
'Cause God it just feels so...
It just feels so good
By the end of the song I was singing along quietly. Gaara gently poked me. I looked at him for a second. "It's Ami," he said. Or he mouthed, it seemed to me. I looked towards the front of the room.
'Dammit…'
'Cha! What the fuck is she doing here? C'mon! C'mon! Let's kick her ass!'
'Do you know how to shut up?'
'Hmph. I take pride in being a loudmouth.'
'I don't. That's why it's stopping. Now. From now on, I, Sakura Haruno, sole survivor of the deadly Haruno fire, vow to be quiet and not shout out insults at any possible thing.'
'…DAMN YOU!'
'You just damned yourself, dumbshit.'
'You just called yourself 'dumbshit'
'SHUT UP DAMMIT!!'
I sighed. This time I meant it. I was going to control myself. No matter what. Gaara sighed as Ami headed straight for him. I rolled my eyes. Then I had an Idea. I was one row up from Gaara, he was in the last row, and I was right in front of him. As Ami walked by, I stuck my leg out. All her dignity ran away at that moment. She tripped over my leg and fell forward, landing on her stomach. Hinata gave one of her small giggles. I snorted in laughter. One of my only actual laughs since 2 months ago. Ami's shiny hair was all over the place. Gaara grinned at me. We were close in that way. He's the only one that had known I had done it. He's the brother I never had. We would never like each other THAT way. Suddenly a girl with spiky hair and A LOT of make-up on stalked up to me. Oops. Guess Gaara wasn't the only one that had known. "That was mean. You should lay off people, you know, Haruno?" I glared daggers at her as the whole class gasped.
"At least I don't have to put on all that gook you're wearing to look good. You should lay off the make-up a bit so people know what you really look like, ya know, Karin," I answered. I only wore a bit of eyeliner and a little bit of lip-gloss and eye shadow. Karin opened her mouth as if she was going to say something, but then she closed it again. Then she opened it and closed it again. I thought she looked a bit like a fish. "Cat got your tongue, Karin?" This pissed her off even more, considering she was, like, deathly afraid of cats. The whole class grinned. One kid yelled out "Want some ice for that burn, Karin?" I smiled sweetly. She walked away, This time someone else stuck their leg out for Karin to trip over. All her dignity—or what was left of it at least-- followed Ami's.
I looked to see who had done it. It was Naruto Uzamaki, number one knucklehead ninja. I sighed. No matter how strong he was, He had never had the guts to stand up to Karin. Naruto caught my eye and winked, with one of his 'foxy' grins. We called them his 'foxy' grins because Naruto had 3 whiskers (well they were really scars) on either side of his face, so when he smiled that widely, he looked like a fox. But Karin hadn't known it was him that had done it. I sighed in relief. Suddenly there was the sound of laughing and talking and guessss what! Chouji, Shikamaru, Ino, Lee, Tenten, Neji, Sasuke, Kiba, and Shino all walked in. I waved, but only a couple of them noticed. Ino sat down near Karin and her buds, and Tenten sat down closer to the jocks. Sasuke joined Ino and Neji joined Tenten. (A/N DON'T WORRY THIS IS A SASUSAKU FIC. Although…it's also a Neji-random girl comes in putting hand over mouth hey wtf!?!? Shhh! Don't tell the readers! Fine...) Shikamaru sat by the…umm…GEEKS. Shino sat near the geeks too, except not the SMART geeks. The STUPID geeks. Oh, boy, am I mean.
Kiba sat near a couple of skater boys and Lee…Lee sat by his fans…all of them. 2. They both had 'I ♥ Lee!' shirts on. Chouji joined Shikamaru. I froze.
'Wha-what's going on? We were all best friends last year. Now we like…split up.'
My inner walked in eating M&Ms 'Yup, you got that right. But don't worry, babe. You still got me.' She said between bites.
'Ummm…You ARE me. Didn't we just go through this?'
'Hmm…well then there's Gaara and Hinata. They seem to be loyal to you still.'
'LOYAL to me? What do ya mean 'loyal'?'
'Isn't it obvious? You're a natural leader, you were like the leader of the gang in 8th grade.'
'WE. But, I don't know. What if the gang's breaking up a bit?'
'Sakura, listen to me. It happens sometimes. People grow up. That's what's happening. So go and make new friends! Make 'em all jealous! Now want an M&M to cheer yourself up?'
'Only if I can have 2.'
'No'.
'Damn you.'
'STOP DAMNING YOURSELF!!'
Flashbacks from last year went through my mind
Flashback…
Ino was rolling on the ground laughing. Kiba was punching the ground while he laughed hysterically and his dog, Akamaru barked gleefully. Neji, Gaara and Sasuke were smirking. Naruto couldn't wipe the grin off his face and Hinata was laughing hard too. Chouji couldn't swallow the chip he was holding because he was laughing so hard. Tenten was clutching her stomach while she laughed. Lee was tearing he was laughing so hard. Even Shino was chuckling. I was the only one who had a straight face. "Hem, hem. I now announce that I shall be doing another prank call!" I dialed in Ami's number and put the phone on speaker.
"Ami here,"
"Yes, this is Sasuke's mother."
"Oh, hello Mrs. Uchiha. I'm sorry to be rude but…why are you calling me?"
Neji snorted. "Sorry to be rude, my ass. She doesn't know the meaning of manners!" He muttered so only the gang could hear him. I bit my lip to keep from laughing.
"Oh, I just wanted to tell you, Sasuke couldn't stop talking about you during dinner last night."
"OHMIGOSH! REALLY!?!?"
"Oh, yes. He couldn't stop talking about your long beautiful hair and how annoying it was that it always swished in his face and how ANNOYING you can be at times. He also said that he wished you had never come into his life and you deserve to go stick your head in horse crap. That's all, thank you."
"…NOOOOO!!"
I hung up, and this time I was bursting with laughter.
End of flashback…
Maybe I had generally been the leader. But still, they had just generally just abandoned me. What kind of leader gets abandoned on the first day of a new start? I bit my lip, wondering exactly WHY I was here. After my dad died, my friends were great to me. We got even closer, since we went through an emotional experience together. My mom had thought of moving, but then I hadn't wanted to go. Now? Well, let's just say, things weren't so hot. Hopefully, things would get better as the day went on.
Things did NOT get better as the day wore on. Hinata and me stuck together the whole time though. We met a couple of girls and boys who we fit in with. Hannah, Sam, Violette, (A/N rofl, I don't know how to spell it..) Chris and Alex. Okay, so maybe they were Goth. But what's wrong with that? They were generally nice people. As long as you didn't dis them. I bit my lip again. That seemed to be becoming a habit of mine. Lunch included the whole gang, but of course everyone sat with they're new found cliques. It was a bit annoying, considering I wanted to sit next to Ino and Tenten too. But instead I just sat with my new friends along with Hinata and Gaara. But then Gaara's older siblings dragged him off to sit with them (Temari and Kankuro). I gulped. Sam welcomed me to sit next to her. I gladly did, without smiling. These kids didn't exactly smile a lot… But they did curse a lot. "Yeah, well there's this really geeky-smart kid in my class named Shikamaru, and he fell asleep a lot. And whenever he did, I would poke him and say, dude what the fuck? The poor guy didn't even care! But then the teacher called on him and he knew the fucken answer! It was kinda funny," Chris was saying. I blinked twice. Yup. That sounded like Shikamaru.
All throughout lunch we just sat there dissing kids as they walked by and just talking about how annoying school is. Halfway through lunch though, I walked to the garbage can to throw out my garbage, and I passed really close to where Ino, Sasuke, Karin and Ami and her clones were sitting. I couldn't help but snort in laughter when I saw that the back of Ami's hair still looked messed up. Everyone sitting there turned to look at me. Oops. Big mistake. "Oh, look, It's the Goth girl," Karin said coolly. "Oh, look, there's the deranged little girl. Oh and look! You brought your little deranged friends to school with you! Don't you think it might me a little challenging for them to meet the curriculum? Especially yourself, Karin!" I had hit a nerve. I t was pretty easy to hit a nerve on Karin and Ami when your me. I don't know, they just hate me.
Karin looked pretty pissed. I just continued walking along, with no emotion on my face. When I got back to where I was sitting Karin stood up and said "Awww, look! Wittle Gawth girl has gawne back to her wittle Gawthic table to get protection from her big Gawthic fwiends!" Karin said this very loudly, and as if she were talking to a baby. Although the baby wouldn't hear her. It would be to busy trying to not look at Karin's ugly face. She had hit my nerve. "Oh, but Karin, you need even more protection then I do, don't you, you little pampered spoiled princess!" We had the whole cafeteria's attention. And what I said about Karin was true, there were more people sitting around her. Her beloved fans and 'friends'. Karin's face was turning red. I don't know why, usually with this type of dis I barely scratched the surface. "Gee, Karin, are you okay? You look like you saw yourself in the mirror." I said, pretending to be worried. "Ohh! Now I see! Are you trying to turn into a tomato? Cuz all you need is the red part, and you'll be an exact replica! I mean, since you're already a fatass." Now Karin was furious. She opened her mouth to say something, but then closed it. Then she did the same thing. She looked like a fish, and I gladly pointed it out to her. Except in a not very nice way. She broke.
"SAKURA HARUNO I AM GOING TO KILL YOU! YOU BETTER WATCH YOUR BACK CUZ YOU'RE NOT ALL THAT ANYMORE! I DON'T CARE HOW DAMN POPULAR YOU WERE THIS YEAR, I WILL MAKE SURE THIS YEAR IS HORRIBLE!" Angry tears came to Karin's eyes and she ran out of the cafeteria. Everyone broke into applause. Suddenly I noticed something. Sasuke was looking at me. His eyes were filled with confusion and angriness. He walked up to me and said something quietly so only Hinata and me could hear it. "I will personally make sure that Karin succeeds in that." He stalked out of the cafeteria, most likely to look for Karin. Ino shot me a glare and went after her. I sat down and ignored the kids who were coming over to congratulate me on my 'achievement'.
'What the hell did I just achieve? I just lost to of my friends!'
'Pshht, who needs them?'
'I DO!'
'Oh, right…so if you need them then I need them. Babe, we're in this together. Whether you like it or not.'
'Unfortunately…'
I blocked 'inner me' from my mind just then because of how…betrayedI felt. I noticed that no one in the gang came up to me to congratulate me. Just then, I broke. I ran from the room, Hinata following close behind.
(A/N Since all Sakura is really thinking right now is what she's saying to Hinata, I'm going to switch to, drum roll! HINATA'S POV! Btw, I'm going to switch from Sasuke to Hinata a few times so you know what they're both thinking.)
(Hinata's POV)
I couldn't believe Sasuke. He was standing outside the bathroom door and didn't even seem to care when Sakura went racing in. I got Karin out by my scary, opaque eyed glare. But as I gently hugged Sakura, I heard Sasuke say something quietly to Karin. It sounded a bit like "I'll be right there" I heard Karin say okay, and then heard her retreating footsteps. That's when I knew. Sasuke was going to spy on us and hear what we said. I smiled smugly. Have it your way. (A/N rofl, just like buuurrgger king! ...Or somethin' like that…) I thought. "I-I can't b-b-believe that he w-w-wou-would say t-that! I-I t-thought w-we w-were f-f-frien-friends!" Sakura was losing it. She hadn't cried this hard since her parents, brother, and dog had died. And she had hardly cried then. "Shh…it's okay, S-Sasuke's an asshole w-who doesn't kn-kn-kn-know the meaning of the word 'friends', S-Sakura," I said reassuringly.
(Sasuke's POV)
I froze. Was that really what they thought of me? Was I really that cold? I shook my head and walked into the boy's bathroom, looking in the mirror. Whose eyes were those? Those cold, onyx, heartless eyes. I shook my head. No way. That was going to stop. Starting with Karin and Ami. Forget about Sakura, Hinata, Naruto…the whole gang. I was going to go my own way. I walked out of the boy's bathroom and was about to go back to lunch when I heard Sakura say something else. I froze again. Then I heard her, quietly, but clearly. "You're right, Hinata. I-I don't like anymore. I HATE him. When will he learn that just saying you're a friend doesn't make you a friend?" "Y-yeah, you're r-right," Hinata answered. I made a dive for the boy's bathroom again as I heard them get up and start walking to the door. "Um, S-sakura, I'll b-be right there, o-okay?" Sakura sniffed and I guess she nodded. I heard her retreating footsteps. "Uchiha, I hope you heard that. It's all true," Hinata's voice came floating through the bathroom.

I reallllyyy hope you liked it ) LoL, since school started I'm really trying to get alot of stuff in here. I know the chapter just ended abruptly, but I had to stop it somewhere. The song in the beginning is Misery Business by Paramore.
