Cherry Blossoms

A/N Just so you guys who read this know, I'm kind of bored, and this is what happens when I eat three bowls of Frosted Flakes at 10:34 at night. Okay... And this is INDEED a Sakura/Sasuke Fic. And it shall stay that way, unless I decide to turn it into something that will bug the hell out of everyone. MWUHAHAHA! Okay, I am done. Enjoy.

Chapter one; Off to School

BeepBeepBeepBeepBe-The alarm clock was immediately silenced by a fist colliding with the button, efficiently disabling the poor clock.

"Sakura, wake up! You've got thirty minutes before school starts!" The young girl slowly took in this information, before lowering her head to her pillow once more.

"Yeah...Okay. School starts-" Once she processed these words completely, she immediately bolted out of bed, almost tripping over herself while ripping off her P/J shirt. While running into the bathroom, she yelled loud enough, so her mother could hear through the two stories that separated them. How her mother, with such a soft voice could yell so loudly, and Sakura could hear...it was beyond her.

"Why didn't you tell me sooner!?" She could hear her own voice echo through the house, before hearing her mother's once more.

"I did!! Your alarm clock went off thirty minutes ago!! It's been going ever since! And don't you dare tell me you broke your alarm clock again?" Her mother's question dripped with anticipation. Sakura immediately froze right in the middle of slipping on her long sleeved white shirt.

"Umm... No?!" Sakura knew without a doubt, even though she couldn't hear her mother, she sighed heavily. That was their routine, Sakura breaking her alarm clock, her mother asking if she did, Sakura replying, and her mother sighing in defeat. Sakura continued her routine, slipping on her long, white sleeved shirt. She then quickly began sliding off her P/J pants, and on the plaid skirt, while slipping the black blazer over her shirt. At her school they had to wear the almighty, dreaded, school uniforms. Quickly running a brush through her pink locks, Sakura ran back into her room. Sakura's hair was originally pink. Yes, it was an un-usual color. But she was proud of it, none-the-less.

Quickly grabbing a pair of socks out of her drawer and putting them on, Sakura ran down the stairs, skipping two at a time, before running into the back of her father's chair. He was obviously sitting in it, for if he was not, Sakura would have flipped over, bringing the chair with her. Her father craned his neck around to take a glance at his daughter. She was wearing her school uniform, but this time, her outfit was different, he just couldn't point it out.

"Hello Daddy." She leaned forward, giving her father a peck on the cheek, before snatching a piece of toast off of his plate. Before he could protest she had dashed out of the room, to go say goodbye to her mother.

"Bye mom!" Sakura bounced towards her mother before hugging her tightly, while placing a peck on her mother's cheek. Sakura quickly let go, and went in search for her cross necklace. Once finally finding the poor temporarily forgotten necklace on the dresser by her mother Sakura reached out to grab it. Before she could grasp it, her mother's voice interrupted her.

"Sakura, your not thinking of going throughout the new school year looking like that are you?" Sakura knew her mother worried about her well-being, but damn, it wasn't like the school was going to suspend her for wearing her clothing differently, would they?

"Sorry, but yes, I am." By the look on Sakura's mothers' face she knew her mother was slightly disappointed, but made no move to make her wear her uniform appropriately. Thank god her father never really took notice of the damn thing. It was enough with one parent pestering her about her 'appearance'. She didn't need two. She loved her mother; she loved her dearly, as did she her father, but sometimes, her mother worried too much about Sakura, instead of herself.

Sakura waved goodbye to her mother once more before running onto the porch and sliding her shoes on. After successfully putting on her shoes without tripping, she grabbed her backpack, and began running to school. Sakura now only had about five to ten minutes before school started, and she still had a few blocks to go. Sakura, at the age of 16, was a rebel. She rebelled against anything she didn't believe was right; like the school uniforms for instance. When she first heard about it last year, she exclaimed she wasn't wearing the repulsive things. And yet, here she was, wearing the school uniform. Though she hadn't given up yet, for she had a plan. She agreed she'd wear the uniform, she never said she'd wear it the way THEY wanted them to. A grin spread across Sakura's face when she thought of her plan, her deviously mischievous plan.

'Okay...-Huff- Only a few more...-Huff- Blocks to go...' She could only think of how late she was going to be, and how much trouble she was going to be in. While crossing the street, a car whizzed past her. The driver had long, blonde hair that was tied up into a ponytail, and was talking on her cell phone. Obviously too busy to notice a girl crossing the street! Sakura stood in her spot, glaring at the car, as if waiting for it to blow up in its place. Too busy in her thoughts, she didn't notice a car was waiting to move past her.

"Hey! Move it! We're trying to get to school ya' know!" This brought Sakura out of her thoughts abruptly. She turned her head, to see a car, with two guys in it. One had blonde hair, spiked up all around, with cerulean blue eyes. He looked like one of those kids who goofed around a lot, for he had a goofy grin on his face when she turned around with a surprised look on her face. The boy sitting beside him in the driver's seat had black hair, which was spiked up in the back. It made Sakura wonder whether he put gel in it or if it was just natural. He also had cobalt black eyes. He looked like one of those guys who'd snap your neck in a heartbeat. (o.O I know...It scares me too.)

"C'mon already!" The boy with the black hair exclaimed. He looked impatient. Sakura began moving to the side of the road, before the blonde stopped her.

"Sasuke-teme! Be nice! You've practically scared her to death! Hey! You-Girl! What's your name?" The blonde boy stood in his seat, and leaned forward on the dashboard. He stared intently at her, with a huge grin on his face. The boy beside him, Sasuke, rolled his eyes and looked out the driver's window.

"My name is Haruno Sakura. Why is it you ask?" She stood face to face with the boys now. The car began to slowly inch its way towards her, and stopped beside her. Sakura could get a close up look at the boys. They were wearing the uniforms as well, but in their own style like her, only more extreme, but only by a bit. The blonde's shirt was closed but his blazer's sleeves were rolled up and open slightly. He had a chain hanging off of his zipper. And his pants were ripped once or twice, obviously from horsing around like all boys did. But to have them ripped on the first day of school, now that was saying something! The boy turned to her once again, and sheepishly grinned after closing his eyes.

"Why don't you hop into the back seat, and ride with us? It's still a bit to go, and we only have a certain amount of time left, about five minutes. Even though it's just a block, it's a really long one. I call it the never ending block." Sakura couldn't help herself, she giggled lightly.

"Naruto, you dobe," his companion sighed. "We've wasted enough time already." The boy called Sasuke wore his uniform almost the same, only his blazer was undone, as was the top of his shirt, and his sleeves were rolled up as well. His pants weren't ripped, but were beginning to wear out as if they'd been washed millions of times before he actually put them on. They were obviously rebels also; they wore they're outfits different from everyone else. While passing, before reaching the spot where she almost got ran over, Sakura had seen many high school students wearing their uniforms, but they looked as if they were squeaky clean! Sakura's outfit only differed from the original slightly. Her skirt was slightly shorter, and had two belts hanging loosely around her hips. Her blazer sleeves were cut up to her elbows and instead of wearing the stupid brown shoes and high stockings, she wore flip-flops.

"Stop being stupid, Sasuke-Teme. C'mon Sakura-Chan, hop on in!" Naruto opened the door to the back seat and waited for Sakura to enter. Sakura smiled hesitantly, but after watching Naruto for a moment, seeing as he wasn't trying anything 'slick', Sakura smiled with glee and stepped inside. Naruto pulled the door closed, and before Sakura could put on her seatbelt, Sasuke pressed his foot down on the peddle hard. The car sped forward, and Sakura clenched her fists onto the back of Naruto's seat. Before she knew it Naruto had turned up the radio, to a rock band. The music blasted in her ears as if a trumpet had gone off. At first, it hurt her eardrums, but gradually she got use to the loud music pumping into her ears through the speakers. It felt like only a moment had passed before they stopped. So quickly did the car stop that Sakura shot forward out of her seat. Luckily Naruto was there, and caught her in midair around the waste with his right arm. Naruto grinned sheepishly (He seems to grin a lot, Ne?) while putting Sakura down outside of the car, before getting out himself.

"You okay, Sakura-Chan? Good thing I was here or you would have flown like super man." Naruto smirked while grabbing his bag out of the back seat, along with Sakura's which he handed to her. Sakura took it, and swung it over her shoulder. Sasuke stepped out last, backpack already hung from his left shoulder.

"C'mon, or we'll be late." At that being said he turned on his heel, and started walking. Now that Sakura was next to Naruto, she could see how tall he was compared to her. He was at least a good few inches taller than her. Naruto raised his right hand, and placed his palm on-top of Sakura's head and moved it across, where it reached the bottom of his chin.

"Sakura-Chan, you're kinda short. What grade are you in?" (Yeah, I know, Naruto is usually as tall as Sakura, but I changed their height here. Don't sue me.) Sakura stood dumb-founded. She lightly smiled, before replying.

"I'm now in tenth. What grade are you in?" Sakura knew she was short, and for her age at that. But did everyone have to rub it in?

"Heh. Same grade as you. As is Sasuke-Teme. He should have been in eleventh, but he flunked in second grade. (DON'T KILL ME!! .:Dodges random \line items being thrown:. I know! I know! But I wanted Sasuke to be older than them. So... BLAH!!!) Sakura tried to stifle her laugh by placing her hands over her mouth, but she couldn't help it. She almost fell, if it hadn't been for Naruto who stood still while she held onto his shoulder to regain her composure.

"Really? He flunked second grade? How?" Sakura was still trying to stop her laugh, but it turned into giggles which had finally and slowly stopped when she noticed Naruto was already walking towards the school entrance. Sakura followed close behind, waiting for Naruto's response. Naruto held open the door for her, and smirked.

"Cause he didn't care for school back then. He always hung out with his older brother. But they don't hang out much anymore. The occasional hey, and so on, Etc." Naruto let the door close after Sakura walked in. They walked through the halls until they saw Sasuke.

"Hey! Sasuke, what class do you have?" Naruto jogged to catch up with Sasuke, Sakura following closely behind. When Naruto stopped abruptly, Sakura bumped into him, and fell backwards. She landed on her back, and rubbed her behind.

"Oww... Naruto!" Sakura glared at Naruto's back. He turned around, and held out a hand for her to take. She grabbed a hold of his hand, but instead of pulling herself up she pulled on his hand hard, and grinned as he fell forward into the trashcan. In he went, and the trashcan flipped. SCORE! Sasuke watched in awe at what the girl did. What was her name, Sally? Sakura? Sakura stood up, and brushed herself off, and smirked at hearing Naruto yell form the trashcan.

"Hey! Not fair! Help! Sakura-Chan!" Naruto squirmed in the trashcan, but only made it worse. Sakura smiled lightly before trotting over towards Naruto and pulling him out by the back of his blazer. When he was out, his hair was completely ruffled, and he looked like he was drunk.

"Sakura-Chan! What a strong arm you've got!" Naruto rubbed his head, and walked over to Sasuke to check his schedule. Sasuke was looking at Naruto's. Sakura smiled once again. She quickly pulled out her schedule and walked over to the boys.

"I use to arm-wrestle my dad when I was younger and still do sometimes. He always wins though." She looked at Naruto's and Sasuke's schedules, and immediately she jumped for joy. (Not literally, that'd look a little odd to all the other students, who just arrive in the hallway)

"Wow! We have the same schedule Sasuke-Kun! You mind if I call you that?" Sakura beamed and looked at Sasuke. He closed his eyes, and shrugged.

"Hn." Sakura raised an eyebrow at him. Maybe if they stayed friends long enough, Sakura'd buy him a new dictionary, with words in it. Though she immediately forgot about it when she noticed Naruto's schedule was the same as hers as well. She quickly had forgotten that Sasuke was standing right next to her and had the same schedule as her.

"Looks like we're going to have some fun this year! Ne Sakura-Chan?" Naruto seemed happy about the schedule as well. He pumped a fist up into the air with Sakura, and they both yelled, "Yeah!" Sasuke however, wasn't so exhilarated about the idea of having another fan girl and Naruto in the same classes as him. Which, by the way, 'Where are the fan girls? Please tell me they transferred!' he thought as he cautiously looked around before walking, and hiding behind Sakura. Sakura looked over her shoulder, and noticed how much taller Sasuke was then her as well. Sasuke was about an inch or two taller than Naruto. She felt even shorter now.

"Um...Sasuke-Kun, what's wrong? You look worried." Sasuke looked at her, before glaring at the school doors. Naruto let out a long laugh, before standing straight again, and smirking.

"He's watching for those Rabid-Sasuke-Fan-girls. They're scary." Naruto and Sasuke nodded simultaneously. Sakura raised an eyebrow and sighed.

"Do I even wanna know? I'm just sure-" Sakura was interrupted, when a girl yelled from the school entrance. Though Sakura had her back to the school doors and wasn't really listening, she could hear the deafening scream.

"SASUKE-KUUNN!!!" Sakura turned, and watched in horror as a girl with long blonde hair came running at her Naruto, and Sasuke at full speed. She was the girl in the car! Sakura glared intensely at the girl. Sasuke hadn't noted until now that she was standing in front of him, and didn't hide him very well considering he was a good four inches taller than her, possibly more, that the girl called 'Sakura', had pink hair.

'What an un-usual color...' Sasuke turned his attention to the flaring blonde charging they're way at the moment. The first thing he noticed was that Sakura wasn't moving out of the way of Naruto and him. Either she moved, or she would get trampled. Sasuke dully noted that that was the head of the USFC; The-Uchiha-Sasuke-Fan-Club. Sasuke shuddered at the thought. Naruto was standing beside Sakura, and before Sasuke knew it, he too was standing beside her. With his hands in his pockets, he watched the girl slow her run, into a jog, and thankfully into a slow trot.

The girl stopped right in front of Sakura, and looked as if she was examining her, from head to toe. Sakura at first flinched at the thought, but quickly recovered when she started examining the girl in return: Blonde hair, blue eyes, fast runner! Sakura almost jumped back in surprise had not the wall been there. The blonde stood there continually glaring at Sakura, for, obviously, being near HER Sasuke-Kun. The girl placed her hands on her hips, and tapped her foot on the ground, as if awaiting an explanation from Sakura for being with Sasuke. Standing beside him no less! Sakura gasped, the girl standing threateningly in front of her like a bull was-

A/N: MWUHAHAHA! Cliffhanger. I'm sorry this chapter was so long, it took me days to finish...And I am exhausted. You'll have to figure out who the head of the Sasuke-Uchiha fan club is. Though, it's pretty obvious, of course...Unless you haven't really watched Naruto. Gotta jet. Peace out!

P.S. Sorry it sucked, and if wouldn't mind, if there's alot of spelling and grammar errors, please tell me, so I'll correct them. It was 10:34 at night! And I was on a sugar high! From Frosted Flakes non-the-less. Anyways, Hope ya' enjoyed it! Peace out!
