Well hey guys! This is my first time writting something like this, I dunno I just felt like it... I hope it doesn't suck too much! AHAH Thanks for reading :D
Chapter 1
Today is my first day in high school, something I had waited all summer for, a new chapter in my life.
My name is Sakura Haruno, I live in the city of Konoha. My father, head of our family sat on the city council. Politics had always run in the family, and it was expected of me to join one day, to bring honor to our family, and to succeed. Thankfully I was born with brains and I'm really good in school, so that would give me an advantage. But hey, what 12 year old thinks about succeeding your father in politics you ask? Well…for most of the people I grew up with this is what's expected of us.
But, never mind that for now.
''Sakura, dear! Are you up? You're going to be late for your first day!'', mom called up to me.
''I'm up! I'll be down in a minute mom!'', I took one last look in the mirror, fixed my hair and being satisfied took my school bag. I would say I look ok right? I mean… I'm going to see him again after two months off! TSH I'm the cherry blossom of Konoha of course I look ok!, my inner self had been going crazy for the past week just thinking about seeing Sakuke-kun again.
''Good morning mom! Bye mom!'', I said while running passed the kitchen to put on my shoes.
''But Sakura you haven't eaten anything!'', mom was always worrying.
''Its fine mom! I'm too nervous to eat, being the first day, I'll eat a bigger lunch!'', and I was out the door.
As I made my way to school, I bumped into my dear old friend. Ino Yamanaka. Did you feel the sarcasm there? Well you better because it was filled with it. Let me tell you, we haven't been friends for the past 2 years. Friends don't like other friends liking the same guy as you, especially if that said friend is your BEST friend. Ex-BFF now.
''YO! Forehead how was your summer, I see you changed your hair, too bad it doesn't change anything, and your forehead is still as HUGE as ever! AHAH', URGH that Ino always needs to sour my mood.
''Ino I see your still a pig as ever, how much did you eat this summer?'', I could see the rage emanating from her, she hated being called fat (like any girl, but eh I needed my revenge).
''I'll see you in school forehead. And he's mine. Stay away.'', she said has she walk faster to get away.
TSH who does she think she is, like he would ever choose her, she's so fake and dumb. We'll show her who's better. YAHH!
I sit down in my class room; the school was huge and renowned for their exceptional students, with high ranking families. Everyone from middle school was here; everyone that mattered of course, what was I expecting this is the best school. OH MY GOD! There's Sakuke-kun! He looks better then I remember! *squeeels* Sorry total fan girl moment there, but I clearly wasn't the only one, in fact a whole bunch of girls where around him trying to get his attention.
The teacher came in, it was Iruka-sensei, he was our Homeroom teacher in middle, and I guess he got a promotion or something.
''Settle down now, I have some important news for you all.'', and then the idiot came in, of course always in an elegant manner. He burst through the door sweating and panting, clearly he had been running. TSH it's called getting up earlier you baka.
''GOMENASAI sensei! I didn't think I would be late, I went to eat a few bowls of ramen at Ichiraku to celebrate the first day and kind of got caught up….'' He continued on his lame story. Like seriously who eats ramen in the morning? Naruto it seems.
''Naruto, we'll discuss you being late on the first day later, go sit down I have something to say.'' Iruka said with a sigh. He was probably wishing he stayed in middle school instead of having to deal with this baka for another 5 years. I don't blame him.
''OK cool Iruka-sensei'', Naruto said grinning and scratching the back of his head. He glanced at the classroom and looked right at me. OH GOD. Please no. He smiled at me and came forward; of course the seat next to me was available. NOO. Go sit next to Kiba in the back!
''Hiii Sakura-chan! How was your summer?'' he said, pretty loudly with a huge smile on his face, while sitting down. Everyone was looking this way now. I looked at the front of the classroom ignoring him. URGH, just my luck…
''Ok now let's get started. I know most of you know each other already, and I'm not sure if this will be at your advantage or not. But the principal has decided to try something new this year; you will each be pared with two other students for the year to help with your studies, teamwork and simply to maybe ease the transition from middle school to high school. '' sensei said while looking apologetic. He knows, we mostly don't get along much. Being that our families are mostly rivals.
''Troublesome'', was heard from the back of the classroom.
''You can't expect us to just sit and take this sensei, we can do it just fine on our own!'', another protested.
''I know you guys aren't thrilled, but this is how it's going to be. Your partners have already been selected. Kiba you're with Hinate and Shino. (More names are announced) Sakura you're with Sasuke (YESSSSSSSS! THANK YOU BUDDHA FOR THIS BLESSING!) and Naruto. (NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! He will only bring us down!) Shikamaru you're paired up with Choji and Ino. (More names are announced) well that's it for now. You may take your lunch break and get acquainted with your new friends'' he said while chuckling seeing our mortified faces.
Ino was glaring daggers at me, TSH it's called karma my dear! mwuhahaha
Naruto was grinning ear to ear and was staring at me. URGH this is gonna be a long year… thankfully I will be with Sasuke-kun! 3
''Naruto, stop staring at me as if I was an alien.'' I said while grabbing my stuff and heading out of the classroom. I need to find Sasuke-kun.
''I would never think you're an alien Sakura-chan, I'm just so happy we get to be a team you and me!'' and he was running after me, bumping into a few desk on his way out.
''Naruto, let me remind you, there's no ''you and me'' going on, Sasuke-kun is also paired with us''
''Who cares about that bastard?! That's just a small detail.'' He mumbled while following me to the cafeteria.
We grabbed our lunches and headed outside, I know Sasuke-kun always likes to eat out when there's nice weather and has predicted there he is! I steadied my pace to make sure I don't seem desperate like some other of the girls that hang around him.
''YO bastard!'' and Naruto sat down in the grass, started eating his lunch.
''Um…Hi Sasuke-kun… since we'll be spending some time together I think we should exchange numbers… '' and I wanted to die because I had sounded like a dying cat. Why couldn't I just talk normally in front of him?
''Hn.'' Was all he responded and handed me his phone. I put in my number and sent myself a text so I could have his.
''That's a great idea Sakura-chaaan! I can totally text you all the time now!'', I glared at him. He handed his phone to me and, reluctantly I put in my number. This was important; it would affect my grade, so I had no choice.
We spent the rest of the lunch hour quiet, well me and Sasuke-kun; Naruto on the other hand wouldn't shut up about what he did all summer and how much ramen he ate. Even though I was glaring and Sasuke was ignoring him, he just wouldn't shut up. I just wish I could be alone with my dear tall dark and handsome, but no this baka has to be in the way.
This is going to be a long school year….
