I do not own Naruto

This is my second story. I had a review left from Asai0 asking me to write a gaara/sakura couple. This is my attempt. I will post this first chapter; if I get at least one person that wants me to continue then I will keep writing. I have already started the second chapter just in case. So reviews are appreciated, and I hope you enjoy.

"Attention all Konoha High students, this is your superintendent speaking. Due to recent financial issues, Konoha High is being shut down."

All the students in the auditorium started looking around whispering about what had just been said. Ten-Ten and Neji stopped their conversation about basketball, Naruto stopped talking to the person next to him about the perfect Ramen, and Sakura lifted her eyes from her IPod. Everyone's attention was on the superintendent.

"Do not fear. We have already found a new school that is willing and all too happy to take you all in." He said with a creepy smile on his face.

Konoha High School is a school for orphans in the town of Konoha. Every student that goes to this school has been living in the orphanage since they were little.

Sakura and her three best friends, Ten-Ten, Neji and Naruto, all met at the age of ten when Sakura was last brought into the orphanage. They all immediately hit it off once she had arrived. Naruto, with his spikey blonde hair, ocean blue eyes, and whisker like marks on each cheek, lost his parents right after he was born. Neji, with long brown hair tied in a very low pony tail, and lavender eyes, was also admitted to the orphanage after he was born. However, his parents had died and his rich uncle didn't want anything to do with him. Ten-Ten, with two brown buns on her head and brown eyes, was brought to the orphanage when she was seven. She was down the road at a friend's house when her house burned down with her parents stuck inside. Sakura, chin length pink hair and bright green eyes, was the last of the group to come to the orphanage. She was brought to the orphanage at age ten when the police found her curled up crying under her bed after watching a stranger man break into her home and murder her parents.

The orphanage would have volunteers come in and home school all the children until a small school was opened and volunteers came in as teachers. A year ago, some hot shot rich guy bought the school to make him look good. You know the whole, look at me helping the helpless even though I really don't care, act. He hired teachers, a principle, and a superintendent to run the school. Fugaku Uchiha was his name.

"We sent an e-mail explaining how Mr. Uchiha has decided to stop funding our school, and this new school has graciously agreed to take you all in. East Suna School of Surfing. You all will get free admission, free dorm fees, and most importantly, freedom to do and be what you want." The superintendent finally finished.

Everyone around Sakura and her friends were cheering and already talking about what they would be doing when they got there.

"Sakura-chan? Is he serious?" Naruto turned to ask me.

"Yea Naruto-kun… I think he is." I said quietly. I can't believe this is happening. I'm excited but also very nervous at the same time. It's like my body is vibrating and little butterflies are fluttering around in my stomach and chest. I have only ever been in Konoha. I have never even ventured out of the town, and now we are being sent all the way across the state to a new location, new school, new everything.

The principle then stepped up to the podium, "All right everyone, back to your rooms and start packing. You will all be leaving at the end of the week."

Everyone around us started running out excitedly, all ready to get back to their rooms and start packing.

"Come on Sak, we need to start packing." Ten-Ten said while ushering me with her hand. Ten-Ten and Neji walked off hand-in-hand while Naruto and I followed behind the two slowly. Last year is when Ten-Ten and Neji had finally gotten together. They had been dancing around each other for months not willing to admit their feelings to the other. One day, Ten-Ten had been playing basketball when one of the boys on the opposing team knocked her to the ground. Neji was furious. He ran to the boy and punched him in the face and told him that he better not ever hurt Ten-Ten again. Ever since that day Neji and Ten-Ten have officially been a couple.

Ten-Ten and I spent a few hours packing the things we wouldn't need for the rest of the week, and then went to bed.

The next day, Naruto, Neji, Ten-Ten, and I went to the library to look up information on our soon-to-be new school. It is said to be one of the most prestigious surf schools in the country. All the rooms were co-ed; we would only have four classes a day, and only had to go to class Monday through Thursday. We were all starting to get excited, yet we were all still feeling a little bit nervous at the idea of all the new people we would soon be meeting.

Finally it was the end of the week. A huge truck came and packed all our belongings inside to take to our new school. We all piled onto an old school bus and were ready to head to our new schools.

Our new lives.

Again, thanks for reading. Please review.
