Konoha HighSchool

Chapter 1

It was a sunny and ordinary day at Konoha High. It was lunch break and Sakura was eating her lunch in the cafeteria. "Gosh, where did Ino go?" she thought as she sighed.

"Sakura! Sakura!" screamed a blonde haired girl, waving at Sakura.

"There she was…" said Sakura to herself.

She stopped next to Sakura's table, breathing heavily to calm herself. Ino was Sakura's best friend. She was a beautiful blue eyed girl, sometimes arrogant and loud, but with all this, she still was a trustworthy and devoted friend.

"What's wrong, Ino? Why were you running like that?"

"To tell you something really, really important, of course!" said Ino eagerly.

"And that would be?" asked Sakura with a bored look on her face.

"The Kiri High School's students are transferring to our High! Isn't that cool?"

"Why would that be cool? That means even more work, it's already troublesome with these idiots…"

"Oh, come on, Sakura! There are the hottest boys there. Anyway, you are the students council president, how's that you haven't learnt yet?"

"Like I'd care about the boys. And to answer your question, I really don't know, nobody told me anything. Who did tell you about this?"

"Well, Kurenai-Sensei did. Since her husband works there I think she should be the first one to know. Don't worry, they'll tell you too soon."

"Pffft…It will be so much work to do…I should already go to see the students list and the other stuff. See you"

"Okay, Sakura. Don't exhaust yourself too much, bye" said Ino, smiling.

Sakura smiled back and she headed to her office where all she needed was. Actually it wasn't a office, just a room with a desk and many closets filled with paper and pens. It was a small room though.

"Good morning, Itachi!" she said, as she entered, to a tall handsome guy with dark eyes. Even though his eyes were dark and mysterious, he was a really kind person. He had also been the students council president a year ago, but this was his last year so he was helping Sakura, the current students council president, since he had more experience. He wanted to help the Konoha High as much as he could, before he left. Sakura was in her first year after all, so she needed a little help.

"Good morning, Sakura" replied Itachi with a solf smile.

"You weren't here earlier, where have you been?" asked Sakura as she sited in her not really comfortable chair. She began to look through the papers on the desk.

"Well, I was a little busy with the Kiri High's transfer, I had to go to the primary because I had to check some papers there too…God, another problem for us to solve…"

"Why am I the only one that didn't know that?" said Sakura a little angry.

" Huh? You didn't know that? The principal should have told you."

"I think she's busy too, maybe she forgot."

"Yeah, probably. Anyway, Sakura, can you help me with this?"

"Yes, sure!" replied Sakura, looking in Itachi's papers.

-after an hour-

The bell rang and the halls were filled with students heading to their classes.

"Oh, God. The bell rang and we haven't finished our work yet. Pff, I guess I'll do the rest at home…"

"Sakura, don't take them all. I'll help you too!" said Itachi as he tried to grab some papers from the office.

"Itachi, don't worry! Anyway, I heard that your brother is moving at your mother again, so you'll be busy with the family stuff. Please, just take a break, Okay?" said Sakura grabbing all the papers.

"You should be the one that doesn't need to worry. I'll be able to do that too."

"Itachi, please! Your family is more important than these papers. Think more about them. Don't worry, I'll be alright doing this."

"But-"

"No buts. Now hurry, you'll be late."

"Okay…Thank you, Sakura! See you!" said Itachi as he began to run to his classroom."

"Yeah." said Sakura with a small smile on her face, beginning to walk to her classroom as well.

She was very happy that she could help Itachi, he was working too much, ignoring his family. He didn't do that on purpose, but he didn't have time for them, I mean her. He was living only with his mother, since his parents had divorced. He had a younger brother too, actually he was on Sakura's age from what Itachi was saying, but he was living with his father. Now his brother was going to live with them because he was also a transferring student from Kiri, and to be closer to to the new High School, he had to live there. Itachi was really happy about this because among his familiy, his brother was the dearest to him. Now thst they are living in the same apartment, Itachi can spend more with him.

Sakura knew the best how important the family is, she lost her family in a fire, both her parents, she was only 8 back then. She would have died too if she weren't at school in that moment. Now she was living alone in a small apartment, since her old apartment was now burnt. Actually, she wasn't living alone, she was living with her aunt but she was almost never home. She was working nonstop, only once in a month returning home. Sakura was feeling really lonely, but she didn't blame her aunt. She actually knew that her aunt loves her and she's doing all this for her and for her future. But still, that loneliness feeling was still there. That's why she loved the most to be at school. There were Ino, Itachi, her teachers and some of her friends. Well, they weren't THAT good friends, but still, they were cheering her up when she needed that the most.

-after school-

"Phew…the school is finally over. Now I can go to the mall. Do you want to come too, Sakura? Watching a movie or something, don't worry, I'll pay!" said Ino cheerfully, walking next to Sakura. She knew that her best friend's financial situation wasn't that good.

"No, thanks, Ino. I have really much work to do. I'm really grateful about your offer, but I can't…I'm sorry." said Sakura.

"Oh, Sakura, you're working too much! Take it easy…"

"I can't take it easy, if I'll take it easy, the whole school will be a mess."

"Well, once in a while, you should relax too!" said Ino bitterly.

"Well, now that the Kiri High is transferring, there's no way I could relax, but I promise I'll come when I have more time."

"And when would that be?"

"Well…uhm…I don't know, but I'll announce you."

"Well, if that's how it is, then you'll never come with me at the mall." Said Ino sadly.

"Ino, this time I promise, I'll come, just wait a while, okay?"

"Okay…anyway, let's change the subject. When will the transferring students come?"

"From what I've seen, Monday."

"Ohhh, I can't wait. There are 3 more days, damn it!"

"Why are you so eager about it?..."

"I already tol-…Oh that's my house, seems like we have to part, see you!"

"Yeah, see you too!" said Sakura, watching her friend entering a very big, French style house.

Sakura continued to walk to her apartment, thinking about what she had to do when she arrived home. When she finally reached her place, she didn't even have time to change, she immediately started to do her homework to have more time for the council president work. It was 3 a.m. and she was still working.

Finally, she finished them, so she could sleep, but unfortunately, it was already 7 a.m. when she had to go to school. "Damn it!" cursed Sakura, fainting in her bed. She stayed there 3 minutes and then got up, starting to dress her uniform.

-at school-

As she was walking on the hallways, Sakura thought: "I can't believe I couldn't sleep a single hour, but at least I'm done with the work. Pfff, what do I have first period? Oh, Maths with the homeroom teacher, Kakashi. That perverted teacher…If he's reading that book again, I'll tell Kurenai Sensei."

"Hey, Sakura!"

"Huh?".

Sakura turned her head to see her goofy friends, Kiba, Lee and Shino. Well, Shino wasn't really goofy, actually he was too silent, in a creepy way. But still, he was her friend.

"What are you guys doing here?"

"We came to see our youthful flower, Sakura-san. You are really the most beautiful and youthful and shining and yout-" Lee couldn't finish because Kiba hit him straight in his head.

"Well, actually we came to tell you that there will be some transfer students in here and-" continued Kiba, ignoring Lee's groans.

"I already know…but I'm not really that excited about it…"

"Well, me neither…other enemies to make." Complained Kiba. "Yeah…What about you, Shino?"

"…"

"Shino, I asked what about you?"

"…"

"O~kay…Anyways, guys. I have to go. I see there some troublesome students. See you!" said Sakura running toward a group of freaks which were trying to pull a prank to their friend.

"Hey, you!"

-break time-

"Hmm…I'll go to the office to leave these papers there…"

She entered the room but Itachi wasn't there, instead of him was Kurenai.

"Kurenai-sensei? Where's Itachi?"

"Oh, Sakura!" Kurenai welcomed her with her kind smile. She was Sakura's favourite teacher. She could say that she considered her like a mother, She's always been there for her, encouraging her and helping her. "He left a while ago, he had to do some stuff, this transferring thing is getting really irritating…Sakura, you look pale. You skipped your sleep time again, didn't you? I told you that you must rest longer, you're destroying your health!"

"I know, but…there were many things to do…"

"You could do them on weekend too. Promise me next time you will rest properly and you won't neglect your health like that again.

"I promise…Uhm, is there any other work that must be done."

"No, there isn't. Now go and relax, it's break time after all."

"Alright, thank you, Sensei!"

Well, actually, she couldn't relax because in the hallways were still students pulling pranks, picking fights or anything related to breaking the rules. Sakura could handle them, she was really athletic and if you pissed her off, you were already dead, so she was really feared in their school. That's why she didn't have many friends, but that wasn't an issue for her. She had Ino, Itachi and the goofy trio. Kurenai was also her friend, well, actually more like a mother, but still.

-lunch break-

Sakura and Ino were eating at their ordinary table, when Karin(the biggest whore in the whole school) with her slaves came to their table.

"Ino-pig, you bought the same shoes as me! How could an ugly monster like you could dare to do that! Take them off, now!"

"What are you babbling about, Karin-bitch? You don't even have this sort of shoes! Actually, you wear only high heels."

"That's true Karin, you don't hav-…"

"WHO'S SIDE ARE YOU ON, TENTEN!? YOU LITTLE SLUT! DON'T MAKE ME TELL MY FATHER, THEN YOUR FATHER WON'T SEE HIS JOB ANYMORE! Karin was yelling so the whole cafeteria was watching them.

"Karin, stop yelling like that, everyone is watching us!" said Sakura.

"WHEN DID I ACCEPT TO TAKE ORDERS FROM YOU, BIG-FOREHEAD! WHY SHOULD I TAKE COMMANDS FROM A PIECE OF SCUM WHO HASN'T MONEY TO EVEN BUY HERSELF SOME MAKE-UP."

"You bitch! Don't talk to Sakura like that, she doesn't need make-up because she is beautiful the way she is, unlike you!" screamed Ino at her.

"Ino, it's okay. Actually, if you don't stop yelling like that, Karin, you will have detention for the next one week and you won't be able to see the transferring guys." smirked Sakura.

"Well…uhmm…now we're leaving but don't you ever think that you won, Forehead! We're retreating now because we have something better to do than arguing with you, bitches!"

"That's a wise decision."

Karin and her bitches left the cafeteria.

"Phew…that was a close call…I can't believe she didn't blow up the cafeteria. She was talking about HER SHOES after all." Said Ino.

"Well, they hadn't high heels, so it makes sense."

Both of them laughed, as they enjoyed their meal further.
