Hey everyone! My name is Sakura Haruno and I'm an ordinary high school student with a bland and boring life. At least it WAS boring until a new boy arrived. With strange, bluish-black hair; deathly pale skin (in a hot way) and the most gorgeous face ever; you'd think every girl would be smitten with him. And if you thought that you'd be right. But not me though, something's different about him and I don't want anything to do with him. Too bad he seems determined to make me fall in love with him. Sasuke-kun, Sasuke-kun, why won't you leave me alone?

"Hey Forehead, guess what? We're getting a new student today!" Shouted a blond, bouncy junior who was way too happy for 7:30 A.M who also happened to be my best friend; sigh, hey my name's Sakura. I'm also a junior here at Crystal Lake high school. Oh, and the blond running toward me is Ino, she's a morning person. I'm pretty much her complete opposite. While she is bubbly, optimistic, and blond I'm lazy, pessimistic, and a pinkette (yes, naturally pink hair). I'm also a night person; how we became friends I'll never know. Anyway back to Ino and her news.

"Really? That's cool I guess. Is it a boy or girl?" I replied as she reached me. She stood there gasping for breath for a moment then looked at me and smiled her 1000 watt smile.

"Boy, and from what I've heard he's cute." I rolled my eyes, of course he is. She wouldn't be this excited if he wasn't.

"Cool, maybe we'll have a class or two with him." We both looked over to the parking lot when we heard a motorcycle drive up. The boy on it stood up and pulled his helmet off while I winced at the volume of Ino's squeal. I looked at his face and was disappointed to see he was cute. Hot actually. With his (strange in a hot way) bluish-black hair that was messed up in all the right places, abnormally pale skin that seemed to almost glow, and his face, oh his face! He was obviously going to be very popular. Great, that just made up my mind. I want nothing to do with him. Unfortunately for me, Ino had other plans. She grabbed my hand and dragged me over to go meet him.

"Hi, you must be the new student. My name's Ino and this is my friend Sakura. If you need anyone to show you around, we'd be glad to." I whipped my head around and glared at Ino, I most certainly did not want to show him around! Ino took no notice of me though, she was completely focused on the boy, who did see and smirked. He opened his mouth and the most heavenly male voice came out.

"Hello, it's nice to meet you. My name is Sasuke, and that's a very generous offer. I just need to be shown the office though, thank you." I could tell Ino had no idea what he just said and had only focused on his voice.

"Alright, come on. Pig; focus!" I turned and walked into the building with Ino (glaring at me for calling her pig) and Sasuke (smirking for unknown reasons) trailing behind me.

'Sakura, stop being rude and talk to Sasuke-kun. He won't like you if you're mean.'

'I don't want him to like me. And why did you call him Sasuke-kun?'

'Because we like him.'

'We do not!'

When we got to the front office I gestured to it and turned to leave. I was unable to though when he put his hand on my shoulder, holding me in place.

"Thank you Sakura, I hope we share a few classes, I'd love to get to know you better." I shrugged his hand off and took a few steps away, turning to face him. I could see he was dead serious and that made the little butterflies in my stomach flutter.

"Yeah, whatever, bye."

"HINATA, TEMARI, TENTEN! OVER HERE!" I covered my ears as Ino screamed at the top of her lungs. We were back in the school courtyard now, under our favorite oak tree. I sighed as I watched Ino jump up and down, waving at our other three friends. Said three friends were currently running over here as if their lives depended on it. They kinda did; we all know not to piss of Ino.

"Hey girls, what's up? You hear about the new kid?" Temari asked, not that she needed to. Ino always had the latest gossip.

"Yeah, we even met him. His name is Sasuke and he's super-hot!" Ino's eyes glazed over and she went over our interaction with him.

"S-sound like he k-kinda likes you Sakura-chan." Hinata said. I groaned and sank to the ground.

"I hope not; he's obviously going to be popular. I just hope Karin doesn't ditch Suigetsu-kun for him." Suigetsu was one of our best guy friends. Karin used to be the school bitch until she and him got stuck doing a project together. After that, Karin cooled down and they were inseparable.

"I doubt she will, you know how in love she is with him." TenTen probably would have given us more words of wisdom if it wasn't for the bell. We all stood up, said our good-byes, and went to our separate classrooms. I went to my advanced chemistry class and stopped cold in the door way.

'No way.'

'We get to sit next to Sasuke-kun!'

To my horror, Sasuke was indeed sitting in the seat next to mine. He was also surrounded by ever girl in the class minus one. They were all fawning over him; it was disgusting. Karin gave me a sympathetic smile as I walked over to my seat. When Sasuke saw me he looked me dead in the eye, and smirked.

'I hate this kid!'
