City Of Angels
Chapter 1: Aww man! Heaven already?!
Sakura slammed her fist down on the snooze button on her alarm clock. Rolling out of bed, she grabbed a towel and headed for the bathroom. After her shower, she dried and straightened her tousled pink locks and put on her sailor uniform. Snatching her backpack, Sakura jogged down the stairs, jumping the last three and practically felt her mother wince when she landed with a heavy thud on the light, wooden flooring.
Shovelling down a bowl of cereal, Sakura made for the front door, "bye, sweetie!" called her mother from the kitchen, "bye mom!" she replied, slamming the front door, she mounted her bicycle and peddled off to Tokyo Junior High. Whizzing round the last corner at top speed, Sakura felt herself collide with something. After falling backwards off of her bike, she landed heavily on her shoulder blades. She slowly opened her eyes to find an angel hovering over her "Jeez, I died after falling off my bike, how pathetic am I?"
"What?" Said the angel, pushing an onyx piece of hair out of his face, "What the hell are you talking about?"
"Huh? I'm not dead?" Sakura sat up, rubbing her arm, "I'm not dead?"
"No." replied angel boy.
"And you're not an angel?"
"Uhh…No."
"AWW CRAP!" Sakura took the hand that the boy offered to help her up, "Gomen, I didn't mean to freak out so much, I-I'm Sakura." She bowed to the boy, who courteously bowed back,
"I'm Sasuke, sorry for snapping at you."
"It's ok, oh, yeah! Are you alright? I really should have slowed down sooner."
"I'm fine, it's you who needs medical help." Sasuke gestured to her left shoulder, blood seeped through her shirt, the deep gash underneath it stung her arm.
"Jeez, I'm such a klutz!" Sakura picked up her bike following suit from Sasuke. They walked together in silence until they reached the main gates, "hey Sasuke, I've got to ask, are you new?"
"yeah," replied the boy, looking at the building, "I just moved here from Osaka."
"That explains it!" She giggled, looking up at him,
"Explains what?"
"Oh nothing…"
"Explains what?" Sasuke was getting impatient with her, he didn't like being last to know things,
"look," Sakura sighed, "It really doesn't matter, I mean, no-one's going to laugh at you, half of the girls are crying because of the fact that you're talking to me!"
Sakura was sat on a table, Ino sat on her knee for no apparent reason, "…And it was so embarrassing, I mean, I was totally spacing out, I even said 'jeez am I dead already?' Or something! An-"
"Right class!" Kakashi sensei walked into the room, he had bizarre grey spiky hair even though he was only twenty-seven, and always wore a scarf that covered his mouth and nose. "Ok, ok, settle down, Ino! Leave Shikamaru alone!" Ino tottered past Shikamaru, flicking his ears, once everyone was seated, Kakashi began his speech "Right then, I'm sorry I'm late-" a buzz of 'yeah right' and 'he must be the world's worst liar' rumbled around the room, "as I was saying, we have a new student joining us today." A boy with his hands jammed in his pockets ambled into the room,
"Hi, I'm Sasuke Uchiha."
