Well I just thought it was time that someone wrote an English high school fanfic!
Because America is awsome and everything, but I just can't relate to it! This is based on my own school so enjoy!

Fitting In
Chapter one – Bus stop
"SAKURA GET YOUR LAZY ASS OUT OF BED!!"
I groaned slightly into my pillow as the loud and angry tones of my dear sweet mother came echoing up the stairs through the crack at the bottom of my closed bedroom door and into my eardrum.
May she forever burn in the fiery pits of under my bed!
I think that pretty much put paid to my "Lie in". I mean seriously it was the first day of High school for crying out loud! I was entitled to at least being able to wake myself up in my own sweet time was I not?
Well apparently not as far as my darling mother was concerned.
"SAKURA I WILL NOT REPEAT MYSELF!!"
So I dragged my lowly heavy carcass out of bed across the floor through the bathroom door and into the shower.
Commence the normal morning ritual of getting ready for school!
I guess you could say that in a flurry of ceramic GHDs, eyeliner, school uniform, and black skinny jeans (Yeah in your face head teacher I'm not wearing your crummy regulation school trousers!!) I was finally sitting at the kitchen table falling asleep over my cereal with my mums' yells for my younger brother to wake up ringing loudly in my ears.
Yep everything was going smoothly!
So far!
Trust me I have been through my fair share of schools in my life! I mean if your Dad was In the RAF you would move around a bit too would you not? Trust me I've lived in Tunisia, France, America, New Zealand, India and (God help me) Malaysia. I Lived in Malaysia for 3 frikin years and it is a beautiful country with amazing people, but the language! DEAR GOD! It is so complicated! I mean I still can't speak a single line of it! Well I guess India and Tunisia weren't much better, but I didn't live there for too long so I lived. I was lucky with America And New Zealand though seeing as they speak English there, and I mean my mums French so French is my second language anyway!
Don't believe me? Check this out:
Bonjour Mon Nom Est Sakura, Et Je Parle Français. Je vivais dans la ville de Morlaix, avec ma maman et mon papa, mais maintenant j'habite en Angleterre! Je le déteste en Angleterre, parce qu'il pleut toujours!
Yeah in your face!
Ok well that wasn't really that complex, but it's early morning! Give me a break!
Oh damn I'm talking to myself again; I really must stop doing that!
Right so back to whatever I was originally talking about. I'm really used to having to start school all over again, but this time around it's a bit different. Normally I just keep myself to myself, because we'll have moved on to another part of the world within the month. Not this time though.
Dad is on sick leave from the Royal Air Force. For about 5 years! So lets just say I'm not going to be moving again, and I really have to knuckle down at this school.
For the first time in a long time I'm going to have to make a good first impression.
And trust me I'm not too good at that.
Worst bit of all of it is I don't really look totally conventional. I have naturally Bright Pink hair. Yes natural Pink. I was really badly bullied about it in the past, which was horrible. I was about 6 then, and High School kids are a hell of a lot crueller than 6 year olds. This isn't going to be pretty.
"SAKURA FOR CRYING OUT LOUD HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU? YOU'RE GOING TO BE LATE FOR SCHOOL!!"
Well mum's voice is in its prime today! God help us all!
"Ok Mum I'm leaving, Geez could you at least turn the volume down a tad? You're going to make me deaf at this rate!"
This earned me a slap around the head (Not hard just enough for me to know mum was mega stressed this morning), and I had to admit defeat and head out to the bus stop with a sore skull.
It was flipping freezing to say the least. The great British winter in full swing! I mean it was January, dark as hell and threatening to snow at any point. Thank god for the almighty Criminal Damage hoodie that I wear religiously otherwise I would have become an incredibly lifelike ice sculpture! Huddling deeper into its warmth I trudged on through the frosty field (My mum and dad dragged us into the country, you have to battle through fields to get anywhere!), digging my heels into the ground to stop myself from slipping over into a frozen over pile of cow dung.
After a small amount of time passed I finally reached the bus stop, about half an hour before the stupid bus even arrived. See! I could have afforded to have my lie in this morning! But no I have to sit in the bus shelter in minus 1million degree weather!!
"Sorry but could you squish up a bit? I reckon I could squeeze on the end there!"
I yanked my head up and saw a tall blonde girl standing in front of me pointing to a spot next to me on the shelters bench. I obliged and scooted up a bit.
"Cheers girl!"
I glanced at her and noticed her uniform. It was the same as the hideous one that I was currently dressed in.
"So your in Konoha high?"
The girl raised an eyebrow in my direction.
"Yes unfortunately! You know I haven't seen you around before, are you new or something?" she said with a questioning look on her face.
"Yeah, just moved here from France!" I replied.
"Oh awesome! Wow your English is Fab! But I should've guessed it I mean you've got a bit of a French accent going on there!" she said smiling.
"Well I should hope my English is good seeing as I am English!" I laughed. I guess it was pretty common for people to think I was actually French I mean she was right I do have a bit of a French accent.
"Oh woops sorry! I'm Ino by the way!"
"Sakura, nice to meet you! Um … So is Konoha high … well whats it like?"
"Shit!" She said bluntly with a laugh "But don't worry you'll be fine, everyone is totally used to new kids we get them all the time! And you know me so no one will give you any stick!"
"You pretty popular then?" I said. She did look it. Tall, thin, beautiful and blonde. Every inch the popular girl in school. Shame though, I thought she was ok!
"Well yeah I guess so, but don't go judging me on it! I like to think of myself as a human being not a stuck up Barbie doll!" she replied.
"Well I guess that's a good thing"
She was nice Ino was. Well she seemed a little full of herself, but I mean apart form that she was right in saying that she was human!
"Oh my god, Tsunade is going to freak when she sees your hair!" Ino giggled.
"IT'S NATURAL!!" I yelled, making Ino jump. I guess she wasn't used to people like me, who have a bit of a split personality thing going on.
"Ok calm down! Seriously though it's natural? It's so Pink!"
"Yeah 100 percent natural!"
"Well that's really cool and everything, but I doubt Tsunade is going to believe you! Unless you have a note from God or maybe the Queen!" Ino said with a matter of fact look on her face "Head teachers are a total drag, I mean I dyed my hair blue once for charity and Tsunade almost had a fit!"
Oh for the love of all things good and holy! Must my day always be doomed to fail??
"Hell yes the bus is here! God I thought I was going to die of cold out here! Come on Sak, Hinata's probably saved a few seats!" Ino said punching the air and jumping onto the big red double Decker that had just pulled up in front of us.
Sak? Well I guess it could be worse! She could be good at Japanese and started calling me cherry blossom! That would've probably made my foot explode or something weirdly similar! I actually hate people calling me by that stupid name! It makes me sound like I'm 5 or something!
"Sak get your ass on the bus!"
Shaking my head free of its thoughts I jumped onto the double Decker after the blonde girl who was now sitting beside a small girl with pearly eyes.
Well maybe high school wasn't as bad as I thought it might be!
Well that's the end of Chapter 1!
For the record I personally love Malaysia but you bet that the language is pretty darn complicated! My friend Nabila tried to teach me it … and she failed miserably!
Don't understand the French? Just put it into a translator, it's only basic stuff! 8D
