Disclaimer: Every fanfic seems to have one of these though it's pretty clear that I DO NOT, as much as I'd want to, own Naruto. Er… I would like to extend my gratitude to Mr. Kishimoto, for creating this great work of art. xD
Summary: AU, SakxSas She was perfectly happy in her own little world until none other than Uchiha Sasuke tore it right up. Being his roommate had caused her to suffer from the wrath of his fan girls, jealousy and evil glares. How much chaos can a plain girl ask for?
A/N: Ah, this is my first fic. If you see something wrong with it, please don't send your axe-wielding ghostie army after me. (Hey, that sort of rhymed XD) Please inform me of any problems! Thank you. And now, let us start the story, no?
Genre: I know it says 'Romance/Humor' up there, but… A girl my age writing Romance? Pshaw. I will try my best, so please don't kill me for the craptastic romance scenes in the future. Wahah.
2nd A/N: On another note, this fic is MINE. I'm a bit possessive. xX There won't be any huge swearing, seeing as my older sister doesn't let me swear. She does, however, let me use 'damn' and 'crap', so there'll be a lot of those words. oO Please excuse my immaturity

The beginning of a story is supposed to draw the reader in… in short explanation, it is to capture the reader's attention. But before all of that stuff happens, there's something I would want to say. If you don't like reading about miracles, and you don't like seeing the unlikely happen, please, leave now. I totally understand.
Heck, what kind of freaky magic made me…Haruno Sakura, successfully fall for the human ice cube Uchiha Sasuke… is totally beyond me. Seriously. I'm totally not kidding. He brought the real me out and chucked the sweet, fake me in to the trash. If you don't like that, then too damned bad for you.
If I tried to describe the last three years in two sentences, it would be: The last three years, my life had changed vividly where many unexpected things had happened. I had gone through a lot of different and complicated things that I have never expected that would happen in my lifetime.
Welcome to the life of mine…
- Haruno Sakura

It was a day. Yup, there aren't any adjectives before the word 'day'. It could have been described as an exciting day for some, but it could have also been called a perfectly normal day. So therefore, it was merely a day.
However, for our heroine, a 15-year-old pink-haired girl with sparkling sea-green emerald eyes, Haruno Sakura, this day was both exciting and tediously boring. Today was her first day at the best (and only) high classed academy in Konoha. A school where there was tons of paperwork to do, and her overly hyper parents were not making it easy.
'Damn this… We aren't that rich I know… but my parents don't have to go jumping up and down as if I just won a lottery or something,' Sakura's inner mind stated with a groan.
Sakura wasn't sure at all if she would be able to survive living in a place like… this. Just the mere sight of the huge buildingS (Notice the PLURAL) of the elusive Konoha Academy made her feel so... plain… and so small. It was hard to believe that she would soon get used to the size of the place.
Sitting there with her parents, who were so different from her, it was hard to believe that they were her parents. Especially the hair color… they had silky black hair while on the other hand, she had cheery blossom pink hair. Anyway… back to the topic. They were facing the graying Headmaster of KA, a man named Uchiha who sat on the other side of an old, large, highly-polished mahogany desk; there was only one last piece of paper left in what used to be an enormous stack.
'Now come to think of it... why's everything here so... large? Arrggh! Rich people and their phobias of everything small. Oh well, just one last glorious piece of damned paperwork and I'm out of this stuffy office,' she thought with a grin.
"Ahh, yes. This last sheet of paper is asking for your permission for you daughter's roommate." the withering man said, peering over his silver-rimmed specs. "Unfortunately, we have limited rooming, and..." Headmaster Uchiha trailed off. Silence.
"And...?" Sakura asked uncomfortable with the tension in the air. She knew it wasn't going to be good… She just knew it.
"The only available space... your roommate… is a male. More specifically, my own son... Uchiha Sasuke. If you are uncomfortable with this, we can, of course, make alternate arrangements..."
/Sharing a room with a guy? Eww… Haven't they ever thought of... cooties? That's like... sharing a room with a brother. I don't wannaaaa! Eww/This time it was inner Sakura who was panicking.
Sakura's parents looked at each other hesitantly, oddly quiet, until Sakura spoke, breaking the awkward silence again.
"I-Isn't that a bit... criminal?" Sakura asked tensely.
"Hmm? Not at all. My son... has many females smitten with him, and yet he hasn't shown an ounce of interest in any of them. Don't mind me saying this about my own son, but he is a bit… anti-social."
/He must be HOT then… don't you think?/
'Hmm… I'm thinking… and the answer is… NO WAY! Like hell will I share a room with a guy.' she replied in her head
The gears in Sakura's head started to whirl, creating a picture in her mind of what this 'Sasuke' character might be like.
'Hmm, the son of the Headmaster? Oh dear. Oh moose. (A/N: Sorry, had to put that in. D'you get it? xP) He won't be walking around the place like he owns the place, he actually does own the place! He's probably stinkin' rich like everyone else here... Probably good on the eyes too, if he has lots of girls after him... Anti-social? All of that isn't a very good combination. One can only imagine... ' a mischievous grin spread on her face as inner Sakura sweat-dropped.
"Sakura-chan, we don't mind. We will be behind you every step of the way, no matter what you do. Well, almost everything. We trust your judgment. The Headmaster's son sounds like a person we can trust. It's all up to you." Her father said softly.
Sakura was a little speechless at the moment. Of course, she'd much rather live with a girl, or even better, by herself, but she didn't want to add to the Headmaster's already-huge amount of work. But... if the 'Sasuke' character is anti-social, he wouldn't bother to bother her, right?
Slowly, she nodded, and her parents understood what was going on in her mind, and signed the last stinkin' paper. At that very moment, when Sakura's father lifted his hand from the paper, little did he know that he just signed his daughter up for a heck-load of chaos.
Signed and sealed.

"Ah, so that's all for today. Here are your keys, and your luggage has already been brought up to your room. You start your classes tomorrow. Why don't you show your parents out, and say your last goodbyes? You won't see them until the holidays." Headmaster Uchiha stated plainly.
Sakura nodded, and motioned for her parents to follow.

Navigating her parents out of the huge building wasn't quite as easy as it looked. I mean, how is a poor, map-less girl supposed to know her way around a building at least 5 times as large as any building she's ever stepped foot in? No, I didn't think so.
Sakura swore she's lead them past that portrait of a cat earlier...
After several minutes of being lost (although Sakura refused to admit it), the damned Entrance/Exit of the far-too-large academy stood just ahead.
"Aha!", Sakura shrieked triumphantly. "Justice prevails!" (A/N: Justice? Sakura? Hah.) Ignoring the weird looks that her parents shot her, she dashed towards the large, old-fashioned doors, only to run right into a dark-haired beauty... and crash not-so-gracefully to the well-polished floor. (A/N: Cliché, I know. But I love it!)
"Get off of me, you intolerable idiot." his deep baritone of a voice rumbled darkly.
'Ooh, real friendly,' Sakura thought sarcastically. 'But he is kinda good-lookin'... Hah. If only his personality matched his nice looks. Are all of the people here like this?'
While on the other hand, Inner Sakura was squealing. / Oh my gosh! He's so handsome! You should get to know him… Actually me! I should get to know him/
Sakura blinked at her inner self's reaction. She fought the urge to yell at her inner self but seeing that she should kill the guy first for being such a... (CENSOR!!) jerk, she decided to save the endless rambling and lecturing for her inner self later. Sakura was no idiot. Her parents were standing right there, and she wasn't stupid enough to ruin their last impression of their only daughter.
So, instead, Sakura got up quickly, smiling shyly, and apologized like 'a proper lady'. She took note of the small smiles on her parents' faces, and knew that she did the right thing. The boy, however, seemed to think otherwise, for he muttered something under his breath, clearly annoyed, before taking off. How rude.

"Sakura-chaaaaan… Your mother's just trying to tell you how proud she is of you and that she'll miss you a lot... Seeing as she's unable to speak properly at the moment." Sakura's father gestured in the direction of Sakura's mother, who was sobbing uncontrollably into her hands. Sakura swore she could see her father, also on the verge of tears at the thought of leaving his precious daughter behind.
"I know, we're not the richest family out there," Sakura snorted inwardly at this comment. "But you still managed to get into the kind of school you deserve. No matter what you do here, we're p-proud of y-you." Her father's voice broke, threatening to succumb to the wrath of blubber any second now...
Sakura was VERY glad she hadn't inherited the emotional gene from her parents. Thank god.

Turning her body on autopilot, Sakura started her journey up to her room.
'What kind of mess have I gotten into now...? What if I don't make friends? What if everyone here doesn't like me? What if I don't like them? What if I fail my classes? What should I wear? Oh never mind, they have uniforms. What if I get lost? Ooooohh my goodness...' she thought.
Snapping out of her stupor, she realized she was standing right in front of her room. 'How'd I get here by just wandering? Maybe I was born to never get lost!' she smiled. 'Maybe I could start getting used to this place... Say hello to your new life, Sakura…'
Hesitating a bit before turning the key, she opened the door, only to reveal... the guy she had bumped into before.
Uchiha Sasuke.

End of Chapter One.
A/N: Soo? How was it? D'you think I did okay, for a first-time writer? Is the story too cliché for you? Please tell me what you think! I'd love to hear what you have to say:D
Ah, props to Kin-chan (InnocentAznGurl) for beta-ing, and for pressuring me to finish typing out my first chapter. Oh, Kin-chan also helped me with the summary and what-not. If you looking for a good read, please check out her stories! They're great, and I should know myself, seeing as I proofread them. ;D
Ah, that's all for now!
