Polka Dot Pajamas

Chapter One

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, though I desperately wish I did. I don't own a Ford Focus either. I'm not even old enough to drive.

!

I know I should be working on L.A. And D.W.T.W. right now, and I will. I just wanted to start another one. Plus, the lack of reviews for L.A. is annoying me. So, here! Enjoy! Or don't! Whatever!

!

"Sakura!" A frantic voice called out, shaking her awake.

"What?" Sakura mumbled, still in a groggy state. She recognized the voice to be her father.

"You'll be late for school!" He exclaimed, shoving her backpack into your hands, "Good thing I came back for my lunch!"

"CRAP!" Sakura jumped out of her bed, grabbing her backpack and running down the stairs.

"Wait, Sakura, don't you want to change? You're still in pajamas!" Her red haired, green eyed father brought up.

"I have an extra pair of clothes in my bag, I'll change there!" Sakura shouted, "Love you, bye!" With that, the door slammed shut and she hopped in her navy blue Ford Focus, driving in the direction of her high school.

"Wait!" Her father shouted, to no avail, "But, Sakura, it's your first day..." He whined to himself, "Not a very good impression. She'll never make friends like that." Though, the boys might stay away. That is, until she wore cute clothes. Then, those testosterone influenced monkeys would be all over her. Ugh.

!

Sakura ran into her new homeroom, thankful for the map, schedule, and tour the school had provided her with.

She felt all eyes lock onto her. Suddenly, she felt incredibly self concious. She thought about what she must look like; A girl with messy, bubble gum pink hair and green eyes was strange enough to find in your school. However, this pink haired girl happened to be wearing a light pink pj shirt, with matching pants, that was covered in little black polka dots. A little bow wrapped around the middle. And then there were the neon pink fuzzy socks. Oh, wasn't she the icing on the anti-cool cake?

"I think you're having one of those pajamas in school nightmares," A girl with a long blond ponytail muttered with a skeptical eye, "Except this is real life, sweetie. But, hey, at least it's not underwear."

Oh, yes. Her senior year in this new school was sure to be freaking lovely.

!

Sasuke Uchiha, a handsome man in his own right, had been calmly pulling out his Algebra Textbook all the while being adored by countless annoying fangirls.

Suddenly, the classroom door opened. Everyone, including him, looked up to see who would be so close to being late on the first day of the school year.

Sasuke inhaled sharply at what he saw. A girl with medium length pink hair that was a tad on the messy side, but still absolutely beautiful, stood frozen in place. She had shown up in her pajamas, it was pretty obvious, but she seemed utterly and adorably innocent. Her tiny form wavered, she was so petite she looked as though she'd snap in two, and her green orbs wavered in enshed tears.

Ino, one of his most insistent fangirls and his seat neighbor, spoke up, "I think you're having one of those pajamas in school nighmares," She started, "Except this is real life, sweetie. But, hey, at least it's not underwear."

Sasuke was surprised, to say the least. Ino was usually much harsher with new girls. Perhaps she felt the girl was no threat. But, in his opinion, the pink haired girl was probably the biggest threat Ino could ever meet.

!

A few seconds passed, and the bell rang. Sakura, hanging her head in shame, made her way to the back of the classroom, sitting by a person with long brown hair.

"Excuse me, miss, may I sit here?" Sakura mumbled, setting her bright red and black bookbag down at the empty chair.

The 'miss' looked up, "I'm a boy!" He snapped, irritably.

Sakura's eyes widened, "I'm so sorry!" She squeaked. She studied the boy glaring intently at her. Even if he was a boy, Sakura thought him far prettier then herself. He had long brown hair, tied near the very ends. His eyes were a soft pearl color, which Sakura found absolutely enchanting. "So, uh, this seat taken?" Sakura asked awkwardly. After all this, and her utter fashion blunder, she wouldn't be surprised if he refused to sit by her.

"Go ahead." He sighed, still looking at her with the same hardened glare. On the inside, he softened at her innocent appeal. But, then again, he'd always been particularly good at hiding his emotions. "My name is Hyuuga Neji."

Sakura brightened, "My name is Haruno Sakura! Nice to meet you, Neji-kun!" She plopped into the seat, reaching for her own Algebra textbook.

Neji was shocked, "Ah, Haruno-san, did you just call me 'Neji-kun'?" His pearl eyes widened slightly. Who was this girl? Where were her manners?

"Yes, and call me 'Sakura'." Sakura grinned, flipping open her Algebra book so she could print her name on one of the lines. She would've done this earlier, when the school had sent her textbooks through the mail, but she always felt that she wrote better in school. If you couldn't tell already, Sakura was a bit on the strange side.

"Sakura-san," Neji tried it out, muttering it so quietly that Sakura couldn't hear him. He liked the sound of her name, almost as much as he liked the cheery ring his had when she spoke it.

A small paper airplane was flung at him, and Neji caught it with ease. He knew who had sent it before he opened it; This was his friend's, Naruto, favorite way to communicate across the classroom.

He unfolded the piece of paper, reading the words that were sloppily printed on the side;

'You get to sit by the cute new girl! You're so lucky! What's her name? -Naruto'

Neji sighed, scribbling a quick reply. It was childish of him, what he wrote, but he didn't care. So far, only he knew the name of the beautiful blossom sitting next to him, and he planned to keep it that way for just a little while longer. So, tossing the plane towards the expectant blond boy, he turned to secretly watch the newest object of his affection.

!

Naruto grinned, eagerly unfolding the response. The new girl was so, so cute! He'd have to say hello as soon as possible. Expecting a name, Naruto's cerulean orbs widened at what he read;

'I'm not telling. -Neji'

Naruto clenched his fists, mumbling to himself, "That bastard!" Naruto pouted, until a mischevious grin slowly made it's way to his face.

"Uh, Naruto, are you okay?" A boy with red hair and jade eyes asked him, raising an imaginary eyebrow.

"Oh, it's on, Neji Hyuuga."

"What the hell are you talking about?"

!

So, there you have it. I know it's a little short, but I just wanted a kind of introductory chapter, really. In case you don't know, calling someone by their first name when you first meet them is really informal, unless they give you permission. So, that's why Neji's surpised. The reason it's in the guys' POV for most of this one is so that what Sakura thinks of how she looks is different from how the guys think she looks.

Review please! If you don't, I curse you with bad karma! So HA! If you do, then you get a faster update!

By all means, tell me I'm awesome. Or horrible. Hey, it's your opinion. :D
