Chapter 1: First Day, First Bets

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

A pink haired girl groaned and sleepily snoozed the alarm clock and dug deeper to her covers.

RING! RING! RING! RING!

She pulled out her arm and turned it off again not noticing the other person in her room.

"Hey get up" A chestnut haired girl that had two buns on her head said, poking the pink haired girl.

"One more minute mom" The pink haired girl mumbled

The other girl frowned.

"I hate to do this Sakura but drastic times call for drastic measures" She said taking out a glass of ice cold water.

"Here goes nothing" She said then spilled the water on the sleeping girl.

5...4...3...4...1

Jade eyes immediately opened. "AAAAH! Cold! Cold! Cold!" Sakura shouted getting out of bed.

The chestnut haired girl laughed heartily.

"Tenten! Why'd you do that for! And how did you get in here!" Sakura exclaimed, glaring at her.

"You wouldn't wake up and if you forgot you gave me spare keys to your apartment" Tenten stated.

Sakura glared at the chocolate eyed girl in front of her who was still laughing her head off.

"Go on! We still need to go to school, it's our first day remember?" Tenten said.

"Fine" Sakura said going to the bathroom.

Tenten sighed, 'she still remembers her mom, it's been a year since she died and her father has been in Germany for the longest time I'm pretty sure he knows that his wife died so why didn't he come back? But at least he still takes care of Sakura's finances'

Sakura has just moved to Tokyo last month and she's been living alone for a year already since her mother died and since her dad didn't come back from his business trip in Germany. She sure gets lonely sometimes but at least Tenten was always there. You can say she has a rich family but not so rich just enough to support the family. But don't get her wrong she isn't bratty and spoiled she was a sweet girl.

"I'm ready!" Sakura said stepping out of the bathroom, her hair was tied up in a half-ponytail held up by a white ribbon and she was wearing their school uniform which consists of a white skirt that reached two inches above the knee, a white tie and a black blazer with their school symbol on the left sleeve.

"Took you long enough" Tenten said.

"Well I would have been faster if you haven't decided to wet my hair with cold water" Sakura said as a matter-of-factly.

Tenten smirked "It was the only way to wake a sleepy head like you" Tenten said standing up.

"I'm surprised that you actually wore the uniform" Sakura said looking at Tenten.

"I just wanted a change" Tenten said, shrugging her shoulders.

"Ready to go?" Tenten asked.

Sakura smiled "Ready as I'll ever be"

"You mumbled your mom a while ago when I tried to wake you" Tenten said, reaching the school's gate entrance, the school was totally huge!

"Wow! I can't believe we were able to enter a school like this" Sakura said in awe, totally ignoring what Tenten said.

Tenten sighed and decided to drop the topic seeing that it'll just sadden Sakura "If it wasn't for your academic scholarship and my sports scholarship we wouldn't be here" Tenten said.

Sakura smiled "High school here will be great!" 'I hope so...'

"We'll see..." Tenten mumbled. Remembering this was an elite school meaning there are rich, snobby and bratty people in here.

Tenten smiled "We still have to go to the principal's office for our schedule" Tenten said going ahead of Sakura.

"Hey wait!" Sakura said catching up to Tenten.

"Do you even know where it is?" Sakura asked.

"First floor, room 30" Tenten said.

As soon as they stepped foot on the school whispers suddenly erupted from the students.

"Here it is" Tenten said stopping at a door.

"Great I was starting to feel weird with all the whispers" Sakura said.

Tenten laughed "Get used to it" She said entering the room with Sakura behind her.

"Um...excuse me?" Sakura said looking strangely at the sight in front of her, papers scattered all over the place and the principal was no where to be found only a pile of papers on the desk.

'Isn't a principal supposed to be to be more...neat?'

"AAAAAH!" Sakura screamed as she saw something come out of the pile of papers.

"Could you be quieter? I'm trying to work here!" Somebody snapped

Sakura blinked "Eh?" 'Is that the principal?'

Tenten sweat dropped 'I don't think she was working at all?'

The principal looked at them "You must be the new students am I right?"

Sakura snapped out of her state of shock and nodded.

"Wait here I'll just find your schedule" She said searching through the piles of papers.

"Tsunade-sama?" Sakura asked seeing the name plate on her desk.

"Here it is!" Tsunade said showing them two folders.

"Haruno Sakura and Tenten?" Tsunade asked.

The two nodded.

Tsunade smiled "Here you are, Welcome to our school" She said handing them the folders.

"I'll call in your homeroom teacher to take you to your classroom" Tsunade said.

The two nodded again.

"We have half of our classes together" Tenten said to Sakura.

Sakura smiled "Yeah".

"Mou...Kakashi-sensei's late again" A blonde complained.

"He's always late, Dobe" A raven-haired boy said.

"What did you call me, Teme!" The blonde shouted pointing accusingly at him

"Shut up, Naruto" A silver-eyed boy said coldly.

Just on cue the door slid open and revealed a silver haired teacher with half of his face covered by a mask.

"YOU'RE LATE!" The blonde shouted pointing at him.

Kakashi looked at him plainly "I have a perfectly good reason why I'm late, we have two new students" Kakashi said.

"Nice to meet you all I'm Haruno Sakura" Sakura said smiling sweetly at them.

"Whoa! She's cute!" A boy shouted, another boy whistled from the back.

"I'm Tenten" Tenten said.

Whispers then erupted again.

"Any questions?" Kakashi asked.

Most of the male population raised their hands.

Tenten sighed and shook her head 'Not again...'

Sakura looked at Kakashi nervously "Can we just skip the question part?" Sakura asked.

Kakashi nodded clearly understanding, "Never mind, let's see...Haruno-san you can sit beside Uchiha Sasuke the one with black hair at the back" Kakashi said.

Suddenly most of the female population erupted especially one with amber eyes and long auburn hair "THAT'S NOT FAIR, WHY DOES SHE GET TO SIT BESIDE SASUKE-KUN!"

"Because I said so and that chair beside Sasuke is vacant" Kakashi stated.

Sakura looked at the boy 'He's okay I guess' Sakura thought.

What do you mean he's okay, he's totally hot! Inner Sakura said.

'Whatever'

Then she walked over to the chair and noticed that most girls were glaring at her.

'I wonder where Hinata is, she said she'd be here'

"Now let's see you can sit beside Neji he's the boy with silver eyes near the window" Kakashi said.

Again, most of the girls reacted.

Tenten walked over to the chair and calmly sat down.

Tenten looked at his seatmate silently, she noticed that he didn't really wear the school's jacket and that he didn't button all of the buttons on his shirt just like Sakura's seatmate.

'He has the same eyes as Hinata'

Sasuke looked at the girl beside him 'Interesting', she haven't fawned over him like all the other girls had.

It was break time when a girl with Midnight blue hair and white eyes came up to them

"Hinata-chan!" Sakura exclaimed, smiling brightly at her.

"Sakura-chan, Tenten-chan" Hinata said smiling at both of them, she didn't stutter anymore since she was talking to her long time friends.

"Hinata? Do you know the guy beside me?" Tenten asked.

"He's my cousin" Hinata said.

"So that's why you had the same eyes" Tenten said.

"That girl with pink hair sure is cute!" Naruto blurted out.

"She's okay" Sasuke said coldly.

"OKAY! SHE'S STUNNING!" Naruto scolded

"Shut up dobe" Sasuke said annoyed.

Neji rolled his eyes 'Another bet'

"Ne, Neji what about the brown eyed girl?" Naruto said with his foxy grin.

"What about her?" Neji asked.

"She's cute too isn't she?" Naruto said.

"Where exactly is this going?" Sasuke asked.

"I bet that pink-haired girl is way out of your league" Naruto said to Sasuke.

Sasuke shrugged.

Naruto smirked "I bet you couldn't even ask her out"

"What did you say?" Sasuke said dangerously.

"I bet you can't make her drool all over you like your fan club" Naruto said mischievously.

"Is that a challenge?" Sasuke smirked.

"Hell yeah!"

"You're on dobe" Sasuke said.

"Great..." Neji mumbled rolling his eyes.

Naruto looked at him still with his smug look.

"You too Neji, I bet you can't ask for the brown eyed girl's number" Naruto said smugly

"Oh really?" Neji was now annoyed.

"Yep!" Naruto said.

"And if I don't do it?"

"I'll tell your fan girls that you're available this weekend and that you'll go out with them" Naruto taunted.

Neji cursed "Fine"

"Great!" Naruto said laughing his head off.

Neji and Sasuke and glared at him then they got up and went to the respective girls.

Sakura was just writing down something when his seatmate talked to her.

"Hey"

"Hi" Sakura said then went back to writing.

Sasuke smirked

"You're new here right?" Sasuke asked.

"Yeah" Sakura replied, looking up at him 'Well I guess, he is cute'

"Do you mind me giving you a tour" Sasuke said looking at her jade eyes 'I guess the dobe was right'

"Sorry but my friend is already going to do that" Sakura said. 'He must want something'

"You know anyone here?"

"Yeah your friend's cousin actually, she's an old friend" Sakura said.

"I better go now" Sakura said and was about to walk away when Sasuke caught her wrist.

"Wait."

"Yes?"

"Go out with me" Sasuke said.

The people who heard them gasped.

"E-Excuse me?" Sakura asked, taken aback slightly 'He's a bit persistent isn't he?'

"Go out with me" Sasuke repeated.

"Is that a demand?" Sakura asked raising a brow.

Sasuke smirked "Probably"

'He's cute but he can't get me that easily'

Sakura smiled at him "Some other time" Sakura said and walked off.

Sasuke was surprise with his answer. No woman has rejected an offer from Uchiha Sasuke, he rarely hits on a girl but he was pretty sure nobody would reject him 'What's up with that girl? Is she just resisting me?'

'Wow. I need to get one of these' Tenten thought as she saw a unique weapon on a weapon book that she just bought.

"You like weapons don't you?"

Tenten snapped out of her reverie and looked up to find white eyes staring at her.

"Yeah, I love them" Tenten said with a grin.

'Strange. A girl who likes weapons' Neji thought.

"You probably think it's weird for me to like weapons aren't you?" Tenten asked.

"Not at all" Neji lied.

"Yeah right, well I've loved weapons since I was little don't know why, just do" Tenten said.

"Maybe you'd like to go out sometimes and talk?" Neji asked.

'Not so fast, lover boy' Tenten thought

"Maybe next time" Tenten said.

"Oh really? I would love it if someone as lovely as you can accompany me" Neji said.

'This guy's pushing it'

"I'm sorry, Neji-san, but I already gave you my answer" Tenten said standing up and walked away.

Neji smirked 'Quite an interesting girl'

"So how'd they turn both of you down?" Naruto laughed seeing both of the scenes

Neji scowled

"Shut up dobe" Sasuke said.

"So you did fall short! That's a laugh! I thought both of you would have done better!" Naruto snickered.

Neji glared at him "Shut it"

"Hyuuga Neji and Uchiha Sasuke both destroyed by two girls! I can see it in the headlines!" Naruto said still laughing.

"Dobe if you don't stop laughing you're really going to get it" Sasuke said giving him a death glare.

"Yeah, Yeah whatever" Naruto said.

'Haruno Sakura, I'm not yet through with you'
