Serendipity
Another story by moi! ^.^ But of course I'm not giving up on my other one The Innocent and the Tainted, just having MAJOR writer block (like there's this big block shoved through my head destroying my brain cells) xD. And i dunno why i name it Serendipity, i guess cuz i was watching a movie and its a real chick flick that made me cry. (I'm such a baby) You girls should watch it! (And guys too i guess if their interested, if their reading my story O.o)
So I'm like "Serendipity!"
And yeah i know what it means..-.-
Serendipity is the effect by which one accidentally discovers something fortunate, especially while looking for something else entirely.
So I guess that could be something for this story??
Anyways hope you enjoy the first chapter!
Disclaimer: Bleh..I dun own Naruto...-.-
Chapter 1: Who's that guy??
A pink- haired woman with bright golden eyes stared sadly at the mini pink-haired three year old, tears silently trickling down her face. "I'm sorry Sakura" she whispered as she turned her back on her daughter.
"Mom! Come back!" the toddler ran after her mother, her breath getting heavy as each step her mother took she faded away, her steps were tiny compared to her mothers. "Momma! Don't leave me!" Sakura stopped panting heavily tears now trickling down her face. A voice from out of nowhere called out 'I love you!"
Sakura stopped, her breath getting shorter as she panted.
Everything was dark
"Sakura honey where are you?"
"Dad?"
. . . . .
. . . . .
. . . .
Sakura's head shot up from bed, her forehead beading with sweat. She rolled her eyes and flopped back onto the pillow "Just a dream" she whispered "It was just a stupid dream". Her eyes averted to the glow in the dark digital monkey clock she kept at her side table. "6:30am" she read. She sat up from bed slowly, she knew she wouldn't be able to go back to sleep anyways.
Somehow she always seemed to wake up before the alarm clock which she always set to 7:00am, but it was rarely because of a bad dream, and definitely not because of her mothers death, and what was that dream about anyways?
Sakura heard a soft knock on her door "Come in" she called quietly. Green eyes peered through the door "Morning, I figured you were up" Sakura smiled "Morning dad, whats up?" He sat on Sakuras bed "I've got your keys, schedule and school uniform here" he placed a bag on her bed and smiled
"I heard your new high school is educated well, with lots of clubs and teams to join" Sakura rolled her eyes cutely 'Dad, thats like every high school, and you know i hate moving!" Her dad sighed and looked at the clock "I know, and were going to be staying here for quite a while so you should get used to the neighbourhood, make new friends, do what teenagers do except for smoking, drinking having se-"
"Eh heh dad i get it!" Sakura giggled smacking her dads arm playfully. "Of course, i know you wouldn't do any of those things" he kissed her on the forehead. "I'll be downstairs, i have to go in 20 minutes" "Kay" Sakura got up from bed as her father closed the door quietly.
She pulled out the uniform from the bag and stared at it. It was a red pleated skirt and a collared T-shirt with the words KLH on it. Konoha Leaf high, the most populated and well known high school in Konogakure city, and she wasn't quite believing that was a student there. (Shut up, I'm not so creative with high school names *cough cough* I know i'm stealing some else's idea.)
Making friends she thought. One of the most things a new high school girl dreads. Whether they are going to fit in, or stand out, if they would make fun of you, ignore you, or whatever, making friends wasn't something Sakura was good at or fitting in, in fact she stood out more than the rest because of her freakishly long pink hair that draped to her mid back and her wide emerald eyes that look like green baseballs. Some people would describe her as...cute, others would just called her a freak.
Sakura finished the shower and slipped on the new school uniform, which fit her surprisingly since most clothes were hard to fit due to her skinny figure. Looking in the mirror, she brushed her long tangled hair "Maybe i should cut it" she whispered to her self fingering the pink locks playfully then putting the back row into a loose ponytail, letting the front of her hair hang down her face. She hadn't cut her hair ever since she was in Grade 2, where she had it so short she couldnt even tie it in a ponytail. Now being in grade 12 she couldnt just bring herself to cut it for some odd reason.
Her dads call from downstairs startle her "I have to go now! You know where the school is right?"
"Yeah! Bye dad! Love you!" she shouted from upstairs.
"Love you too!" was the last thing she heard, until the door shut.
Sakura grabbed her keys and back pack heading downstairs. Grabbing an apple for breakfast, she too headed out the door and too Konoha Leaf High.

"15 minutes early" Sakura huffed under her breath and fiddled with her schedule. Being late was bad, but being early was boring. Her attention was fixed on the outside of the school, it was big alright, more like huge, the school was decorated with paths and fields with benches and a water fountain. Flower beds lines in a row and everything, how was this school free? Bushes and trees were spread around an open spaces area.
Sakura's squinted to see a raven haired boy sitting under one tree reading a book and looking absolutely gorgeous at the same time. How did he do it? she wondered. his obsidian eyes looked cold yet concentrated on the book at the same time, a shoulder propped up on one knee and his back slightly leaning against a tree.
Sakura squinted some more, it was hard to believe that she could see these small details so far away because he was very far away from the school. He was wearing the school uniform of course, but a navy blue sweat shirt instead. it wasn't even cold. Only a few kids started to come, but why was he so early?
Sakura stopped looking, feeling her cheeks redding as more kids started coming through the entrance staring at her as though she was some kind of idiot.
How long have I been staring? 10 minutes? She sighed and sat down on a bench
"OI OI PINK HAIRED GIRL!" a loud voice boomed a voice. Sakura spun around to see a blond spiky haired kid with whiskers and bright blue eyes running toward her. 'Hey hey hey, are you new here?"
Well duh. Sakura nodded "yes" He grinned "you in grade 12?" Sakura nodded not sure where he was going with this "Yeah"
"ARE YOU IN KAKASHI-SENSEIS ALGEBRA CLASS??" he boomed flapping his schedule in her face. Sakura rubbed her ears before his question sunk in, she checked her schedule
Periods 1&2- Algebra- Room 107 Kakashi-sensei
Period 3-Civics- Room 129- Asuma-sensei
Periods 4&5-Biology- Room-110 Kurenai-sensei
Period 6-Chemistry-Room 115-Orochimaru-sensei
Locker: 186
"Uh, yeah" Sakura looked at her schedule again, not noticing the faint blush on blonde's face "Cool! My names Uzumaki Naruto!" he grabbed Sakuras hand and shook it vigorously, sakura looked startled 'Dont rip off my arm!' she thought "Haruno Sakura" she fully introduced herself with a smile, though it was uncomfortable because Narutos hand hadn't left hers yet.
"Come meet my friends!" Naruto pulled Sakura to a group of people, "B-but uh.." Sakura looked back to see the raven haired man walking in their direction, their eyes locked to each other until Sakura looked away. Naruto was still chattering while pulling Sakura along, "Your gonna like my friends cuz their really nice, say if you don't mind me asking where did you come from and is that your natural hair color? It looks really pretty on you-"
"Naruto! What are you doing to the poor girl??" another blond, but a girl this time came up to Naruto staring at him accusingly and flipping her long pony-tailed hair. "Ino! This is the lovely Sakura-chan! Shes in our first periods 1&2!" Naruto introduced Sakura happily slinging an arm around Sakura and blushing, this felt awkward to Sakura. Ino smiled at sakura then glared at Naruto "Your freaking scaring her Naruto!" Ino grabbed Sakura's wrist " I'm Ino by the way, I'll take you somewhere safe!" she said dragging her towards the school.
"H-hey! Wait up!" Naruto called out.
"Uh..are we aloud to go in the school before the bell-" Sakura got cut off.
Brrrrrrrrrrrrrringg
Ino rolled her eyes "Ive been at this school for so long, I know exactly when the bell rings, freaky eh?"
"Ino, your always freaky" yawned naruto trailing behind the them in the school hallway.
"GO FIND YOUR LOCKER!"
Naruto pouted "But Sakura-chan likes me! Right Sakura-chan?" his blue eyes averting to the quiet Sakura. "Uh-"
"Locker. Now"
Naruto skipped away "Ehehe, See you in class Sakura-chan!" Boy Ino can be scary.
Ino took a deep breath, "Alright, so whats your locker number?"
"Um I think it was locker number 186" Sakura recited remembering from her schedule. "Hmmm" Ino pulled her to a right and down another hall with more grade 12 students, she stopped in the middle and opened a locker "Yours is this one! mines just across the hall, down there okay? And since were in the same math class we should go together okay?" Sakura nodded liking how people were friendly here.
"Kay, meet me at my locker Sakura" Ino walked down the hallway to her locker. Sakura took a deep breath and opened her locker, taking out her binders and putting then in her locker leaving out the one for math, not noticing a tall figure drop his backpack and open a locker that was three lockers away from her. Sakura looked up to see the same tall onyx eyed guy she had spot on the tree, only noticing now he had spiky black hair, and the most angelic hard expression she had ever seen. He wasn't paying attention to her, but ignoring her when she started to staring.
'Tch, another annoying fangirl' Sasuke thought irritatingly. Sakura blushed again realizing she had started staring at the guy 'Ugh, he probably thinks i have a crush on him or something' she thought annoyed, as she glanced at him shoving his backpack in his locker and grabbing his books, stalking off. Sakura sighed and walked over to Ino's locker. ino was waiting staring at her strangely "So" she began "You have a crush on Sasuke-kun?"
Sakura looked taken back and confused 'Oh she means the guy near my locker' she thought mentally slapping her forehead. "No, no and no" Sakura repeated. She never really had crushes in her life, and wasn't going to start now, but she had to admit he was hot. Ino shrugged 'Good, cause he doesn't talk to anyone except Naruto and we never really see him during lunch or study hall, and i can tell you he is not interested in girls" Ino explained as they walked into Room 107.
'Naruto?" Sakura asked incrediously, Ino shrugged "Their like, best friends, and i dunno why". Sakura blinked, not that she had anything against Naruto, it was just hard to believe with Sasuke stand offish attitude, would listen to a chatter box like Naruto, Sakura giggled as she sat down next to Ino.
"Hi I-Ino" a timid voice reached Sakura's ears. Ino spun around "Omygosh Hinata! its been so long!" Ino hugged Hinata, 'W-we saw each other yesterday Ino" "
"I know its been soo long! This Sakura by the way!" Ino introduce Sakura.
"H-hi Sakura, it n-nice to meet you"
Sakura smiled "hey Hinata, same to you" Ino rolled her eyes 'Hinata! You have got to stop stuttering!"
"I-its a f-force of h-habit"
"Hey Hinata, Ino, pink-haired girl" A brown haired girl with to buns sat beside Hinata. "Tebten! Its been so long!" Ino got up and hugged Tenten. Tenten rolled her eyes "its only been yesterday since we've seen each other Ino"
"I know its been sooo long! This is Sakura"
"Hey, its Tenten" She leaned back on her seat and stared at Sakura "Nice hair" she complimented. sakura blushed "Thanks, its natural by the way". Ino gasped "No, way seriously?" "Yeah way seriously" Sakura copied Ino. Ino gasped again "No, way!"
"Shut up Ino" Tenten rolled her eyes "So Sakura, where do you come from?"
Sakura shrugged "City of Mirigakure"
"I-I heard it a-always r-rains there" Hinata piped in. Sakura nodded "Yup, its a rainy season there"
'Why'd you come here?" Ino, asked. "My dad got a job here, the usual, why isn't the teacher here yet?" Sakura asked trying to change the subject.
"Because Kakashi-Sensei's always late" said Ino "Its been a habit so we don't really do two periods of math"
'Well some teacher he is' Sakura thought. Her eyes averted to the dark haired male sitting in the corner of the back reading a book with Naruto chatting aimlessly. Sakura frowned. The was something from that Sasuke guy that made her shiver. 'Because hes always so distant' her thoughts explained 'who wouldn't be scared of that guy'
'Maybe girls who have crushes on him' she thought as she saw a girl make her way to flirt with Sasuke. She watched as he too ignored her presence, like she wasn't even there. Her eyes averted back to a pair of fingers snapping infront of her face "Sakura! You there?" Ino waved her hand in front of her face until she got her attention. 'Oh yeah Ino" sakura asked. Tenten groaned "Don't tell me you have a crush on the Uchiha too!"
"No I don't! its just he always looks so distant, and I'm just wondering why!" explained Sakura quickly. 'Oh" Ino looked relieved "Well i heard his parents got murdered when he was 5, and he's living alone. its wierd cuz the only person he ever talks to is Naruto."
"Oh" sakura wished she never asked. "Thats sad. hes probably lonely, have you guys ever considered going up to him and talking to him?"
Ino, Tenten and even Hinata looked at her as though she stabbed herself. "When I mean he doesn't talk to anyone, besides naruto and teachers, I mean no one" Tenten explained. both Ino and Hinata nodded.
"Oh" Sakura blinked "Maybe I should go talk to him"
Ino slapped her forehead "We mean no one, Sakura, didn't you just see what he did to that girl over there!" Ino pointed to the girl still trying to get his attention. "Well, i'm still gonna try" Sakura looked determined. "Okay.." Tenten shrugged "Your waste of time"
Just then the door opened revealing a white haired man with stuck up hair "Sorry I'm late, you see my grandmother broke her foot and-"
"SAVE YOUR EXCUSES!" screamed Naruto.
"Kakashi stared at Naruto with a bored expression "Oh great, I have you in my class??"
"BELEIVE IT!"
"Trust me i don't want to" monotoned Kakashi which made the class giggle. "Okay...uh were gonna have assigned tables so you guys don't goof off" Kakashi explained getting out his sheet of paper from his suitcase. The class groaned.
"Ugh, teenagers these days" mumbled kakashi "Anyways, uh top row middle is Naruto and Kiba!
"HEY WHY AM I STUCK WITH DOG BREATH?? I DON'T WANNA BE IN THE FRONT!!"
"I COULD SAY THE SAME FOR YOU IDIOT!"
"Second row middle, Hinata and Shino"
Hinata twitched her fingers. "Third row middle, gaara and Matsuri"
Matsuri blushed as she changed seats. "First row to the right, Ino and Shikamaru"
"ugh troublesome," "WHAT'D YOU SAY?? SHIKA?"
"Second row to the right, Tenten and Neji" Tenten blushed.
"Third row to the right Sakura and Sasuke"
Sakuras head snapped up at the sound of her name, 'I'm with Sasuke? She turned around to see Sasuke already at his assigned table ,staring out the window. She shyly grabbed her books and sat down beside him. Of course he didn't say a word, Sakura decided to keep quiet.
"First row to the left, Karin and Suigetsu"
"THIS IS SO NOT FAIIRRR! I WANNA BE WITH SASUKE-KUN!"
"Second row to the left Chouji and Ayame"
'Why?!?!"
"Last is the third row to the left that will be occupied by Rock lee the new student who will be joining us in a few days, any questions?" Kakashi asked quickly. Everyones hand in the classroom shot up. Kakashi blinked "No questions? Okay lets begin with out lesson. Please turned to page 124 in you algebra textbook" Kakashi turned to the board and everyone sweat dropped.

"That was the longest math class eveeeeeeeeeeer!" Ino slumped on the bench outside of school and slurped her smoothie. "Well get used to it because were having that class everyday for the rest of the semester!" Tenten sat down on the bench too. Hinata and Sakura stood. "I-I think algebra is p-pretty cool" stuttered hinata on her opinion.
"Yeah because you get A's in like everything Hinata" ino chewed on her straw. Sakura was too busy looking at Sasuke making his way too the same tree she saw him sitting in earlier. 'Should I? Or should I not?' Sakura thought about going to meet Sasuke.
'Hell yeah! I wanna meet him!' her thoughts interrupted her. 'but what if i disturb him?' she asked herself.
'Then leave' her thoughts answered. She nodded to herself when Tenten spoke, 'Oh yeah, you going to see Uchiha then?"
Sakura nodded 'Does anyone have Civics class next? Naruto came running up "Ooh ooh I do Sakura-chan! I'll walk you there!" sakura nodded and smiled "Thanks Naruto" She made her way to the trees area.
"Okay bye Sakura-chan!" Naruto waved and made his way to Neji and Shikamaru.
Sakura stopped to wave at Ino, Hinata, Naruto and Tenten before walking to Sasuke. As she neared where Sasuke was it became quieter and all she could hear were the chirping of bird and occasional crickets. Sakura spotted him reading the same book as what he was reading Algebra class, the same expression of concentration on his face. She summond some courage to speak up "U-um, hi" she crocked. Sasuke twithed then looked up with han annoyed expression, looking quite surprised that someone dared to bother him, no one ever came in this section.
He figured if he kept on ignoring her, he would get the message and leave him alone, but after 30 seconds of not answering she walked up to him and sat down next to him.
He looked up with a fully irritated expression. "What do you want?" he dead panned. His deep rich voice startled her, she looked up into irritated onyx eyes and simply asked "Is the book your reading good?"
He stared at her innocent expression "hn" was all he managed to say before turning back to his book. "Go away."
Sakura crossed her arms "I'm not bothering you or anything am I?" he looked at her again "Yes"
Sakura looked down "Yeah well, feel like being some place quiet this break, and here was the place i could think of" she wondered out loud putting a finger on her chin and tapping it.
Sasuke glared at her "Tch, annoying" he got up and walked to a different tree, sitting down and reading.
Sakura sighed "I tried" she muttered, getting up and walking back to the school.
