A/N: This is my first fic, and it's AU/high school, how fun. I edited this chapter because I wasn't too happy about it. And uh, yeah. Heheh. There is swearing, drinking, and drug doing. Please review!

Disclaimer: I wish I owned Naruto, and Sasuke.


"Journalism, chemistry, biology, history, and fitness." Sakura said as she sat down at the table. She brushed her pink hair aside and added sarcastically, "What a wonderful semester this will be."

"It's alright," Sasuke said, handing his schedule to Sakura.

She read aloud, "Auto tech, trigonometry, fitness, history, physics." She handed the paper back. "Not bad, you're good at all that stuff. And at least we have one class together."

"Yeah." His dark eyes scanned the cafeteria for that loudmouthed, annoying blonde.

"Haven't seen Naruto yet, either? He's probably picking on innocent freshmen." She scoffed. "Stuffing them into lockers or taping them to trees or --"

"Or making them strip down in their underwear and watch them run through the cafeteria at the busiest time of the day," Naruto finished for her, taking a seat beside Sakura.

As he sat down, three freshmen ran from one end of the cafeteria to the other... in their underwear. People in the cafeteria were laughing as they watched the show and some were even cheering for Naruto. The freshmen looked genuinely embarrassed.

"You're an asshole," Sakura said and hit Naruto on the head.

"Hey!" Naruto started to defend himself. "What can I say? It's senior year, gotta do something fun on the first day!" He laughed and leaned back in his chair, hands behind his hand.

Sasuke merely shook his head shamefully.

"Well, Naruto, you'd better use those football abilities of yours and run." Sakura smiled, while her friend just quirked an eyebrow. "Here comes the principal and she really doesn't look too happy."

He jumped out of his seat. "Damn! Gotta run! Catch you guys later." And with that he was out the door in a flash, with the principal yelling after him and shaking her fist in the air.

"What an idiot." Sakura stated.

Sasuke ran his fingers through his dark hair and sighed. "Too much noise here. Let's go."

Sakura nodded and stood up, only to have her worst enemy blocking her way. What a nice first day.

"Hello Sakura," the blonde greeted. "Our last year together, hope you're prepared."

"Always, Ino." Sakura smirked. She didn't find Ino intimidating or threatening at all, as others did. Maybe it was her long, blonde hair that made that impression. "Now, get out of my way before I push you."

Sasuke watching from a few feet away, moved a bit closer to make sure Sakura didn't cause anything.

Ino moved a bit and smiled wickedly. "See you around."

"Oh, I'm looking forward to it." Sakura rolled her eyes left the cafeteria with Sasuke, heading to the parking lot.

As they sped down the road, Sakura relaxed and let the cool breeze calm her down. What a bitch, that stupid Ino, she thought to herself.

They parked outside a convenience store. Sasuke opened his door and said, "I need smokes. You want anything?"

Sakura shook her head. "No thanks." She watched her best friend as entered the store, his broad shoulders hunched ever so slightly, as if he were carrying a burden.

He exited the store and got in the car, lit a smoke and offered one to Sakura, who graciously accepted it, and pulled out of the space. He scanned the radio station for something good, but no luck.

Sakura took a drag from her cigarette, feeling the poison full her lungs. She finally gave in to the influence during the summer, even though Sasuke had been smoking for well over a year now.

"Naruto's place?" Sakura suggested. "People are probably over there already. It's the first day of school, who isn't skipping?"

Sasuke agreed and sped for the next ten minutes to Naruto's house that rested on the border of a small forest. He lived alone, his parents had died years ago in a car accident leaving him everything, including the house of course. It was a moderately sized house, however, it seemed too big for just Naruto alone.

They didn't bother knocking when they arrived, just entered the house and made their way to the living room. The room was cloudy because of all the smoke, only a few sitting there didn't actually smoke, and already there was a few empty beer cans on the coffee table. Sitting in the room was Naruto, Hinata, Kiba, Neji, Tenten, and a red haired guy that was unfamiliar to the newcomers.

"Hey guys," Naruto his two best friends. He pointed to the unknown red haired guy. "That's Gaara. He just moved here."

"Hi," Sakura greeted then turned back to Naruto. "You're drinking already and it's not even two in the afternoon."

"It's just a couple of beers, and it's a Friday," Naruto shrugged. "Thankfully, they made the first day of school a Friday this year, which means we can go out and party tonight!"

"Who's hosting?" Sasuke asked casually, leaning against a wall with his hands in his pockets.

"I am!" Kiba shouted enthusiastically. "Half of the senior year will be there."

"Is this a party to celebrate that we're back at school?" Tenten said sarcastically. She'd much prefer to just sit around with friends, or be alone with Neji, who she had been dating for a few months already.

"You guys in or what?" Naruto asked his two friends, knowing that they would go anyways.

"Always." Sakura smiled.


They got out of the car and stepped onto the lawn infront of the house.

"Shall we?" Sasuke asked and walked towards the house with Sakura.

The place was already packed with people who were socializing, a drink in their hand, or a smoke. The hallways were occupied and the living room had been turned into a dance floor, which just gave people an excuse to grind.

Sakura and Sasuke walked to the kitchen where there was a lot of shouting. Upon entering, and not to their surprise, was Naruto kneeling on the floor doing a beer bong. He finished quickly and smiled, noticing the two that just entered the room and gave them each a beer, getting another one for himself.

"So, how many have you had already?" Sakura asked before taking a sip from her beer. She didn't mind beer, but she liked hard drinks better.

"Only four, including the one from earlier," Naruto answered. He watched Sasuke light a cigarette. "Those things are gonna kill you."

"So?" was Sasuke's only response and handed one to Sakura.

"So," Naruto continued, "can I have one?"

"Moron."

The three ventured outside and sat down on the patio chairs. It was a good night to be outside, the night air wasn't too warm and not too cold. After a few more beers, they went back inside and talked with people in the kitchen.

"I'm gonna go find a restroom," Sakura said and wandered up the stairs. Even though she didn't drink much, she always felt that beer got to her faster than vodka. She opened the first door she saw, hoping it would be a bathroom. Instead, it was a bedroom with three people sitting on small stools around a small table. She quickly said sorry and started to close the door when one of them spoke to her.

"Hey, you're Sakura, right?" A guy with brown hair asked. "Wanna join? We're smoking up."

Not wanting to miss a free chance to get high, Sakura entered the room, closed the door, and sat down on the free stool. She hadn't smoked this stuff in a couple months, when her and Sasuke had agreed to quit together. Obviously, she wasn't resisting so well.

"I'm Kankurou." The guy with brown hair introduced and stuck out his hand.

"Sakura," she said and shook his hand politely.

"That's Gaara, my younger brother," Kankurou motioned to the redhead on Sakura's right.

"Ah, yes we met earlier, actually."

"Oh, alright. And that's Sai," Kankurou named the last person in the room, who was sitting straight across from Sakura. He had black hair, with equally black eyes.

Sakura stared at Sai without realizing it. He seemed familiar to her in a way, somehow resembling the cool demeanor much like Sasuke's. He smiled at her slightly, and she smiled back. She broke her gaze when it was her turn to take a hit.


Twenty minutes passed, along with three more beers, when Sasuke began to wonder where Sakura was.

"Where's Sakura?" Sasuke asked, feeling the effects of the beer only now. He's going to have a fun drive home.

Naruto, practically wasted, replied, "She left?" He got up and stumbled after Sasuke towards the stairs. Making an extreme effort to not stumble up the stairs, they saw Sakura coming out of a room with smoke trailing out of the room behind her.

"Oh, hey guys!" Sakura greeted her friends a little too cheerily. Her eyes were barely open.

"Oh my God," Sasuke said. He was mad that she had broken the agreement. But he knew that she eventually would.

"You are so high!" Naruto said laughing, while leaning against the wall to support his drunk self. He fell forward slightly and knocked a picture of the wall, but he just laughed even more.

Sakura ignored his comment and sat against the wall. "I am so tired."

"Then let's go," Sasuke suggested, although it was still pretty early, it was getting close to midnight and people were still partying.

Three guys exited the same room that Sakura had earlier and asked if she was okay as Sasuke pulled her up to her feet. He nodded and then they disappeared down the stairs. He looked down at Sakura, who was now leaning against his arm, sleeping. He shrugged his shoulder to see if she would wake up but she didn't budge. Is she really that high? He thought to himself, then cursed silently as he realized that he would probably have to carry her to the car.

"Naruto, let's go," said Sasuke and kicked Naruto's leg to wake him up.

The blonde jumped up and said in the opposite direction of Sasuke, "Right, let's go!"

Sasuke managed to piggyback Sakura to the car, and placed her in the front seat. Good thing she was light enough for him to carry her.

Naruto climbed into the backseat and laid down to try and sleep, which didn't take him long to do.

Sakura jolted awake when Sasuke shut his door a little too loudly, but didn't apologize. He was wondering why he had to drink when he knew that he would be driving. "Shit," he cursed and did a mental check.

"What is it?" Sakura asked.

"I can't find my keys." He searched around the bottom of the car when a small voice said his name. He looked up to see Hinata.

"I found these," she said and handed the keys to Sasuke.

He felt relieved. "Thank you." And started the car.

"Drive safe." She said and backed away from the car.

"Bye, Hinata!" Sakura waved her hand like an idiot, then turned to Sasuke. "Where are we going?"

"I'm driving you two home," he replied.

"There is no way I'm going home," Sakura said angrily. There had been problems developing between her and her mom ever since her dad left them in the summer. "Don't make me go home. I can't deal with her in this state."

"Fine, stay at Naruto's place then."

"What?!" she shrieked in disbelief. "He has no food!"

Sasuke cursed again. "Alright, my place it is." They arrived at Naruto's house shortly after and made sure he got into his bed okay. Then Sakura and Sasuke sped on towards home.

"Sasuke?"

He grunted to let her know he was listening.

"Can we get some chips?" Sakura giggled. "I have the munchies really bad."
