The World's Most Un-Average Nerd
Chapter One: The New Kid in Town
Summary: Haruno Sakura: Definitly not Cinderella, sure as hell isn't Snow White, and I'll be damned if she's Sleeping Beauty. So who is she? Uchiha Sasuke's number one competition. AU, OOC. SasuSaku, KibaIno, ShikaTema, NaruHina, NejiTen.
A/N: Ah, yes, I'm back my fellow readers, even after the evil KittyKatKarma stole my best story. For all of you people new to my writing… feel free to send evil, horrible messages, and reporting her for stealing not only mine, but my friend's story, "Fighting For the Future."
My friend MoonVeil's story (Which is great, you might wanna read it) was stolen on August 2nd, and for sticking up for her, my story, Where Is Your Boy Tonight, a NarutoHP Xover, was stolen in retaliation for my hateful messages… So if you message her, do it anon.
Hope you like this!

Every average girl dreams of being a princess; being swept off her feet by her knight in shining armor. Well… I guess I'm not average. At least, I don't think I am. I mean, with bubblegum pink hair, and green eyes that are practically glow in the dark, I don't believe I can call myself "Average."
Maybe a nerd.
Yeah, an Un-Average Nerd… wait, is that even a word? Un-Average? Oh well, there is now.
"Why a nerd?" you may ask. Well, that's simple. With grades as awesome-full as mine (Yet another new word), how could I not be a nerd? I have a notorious streak of straight A's, after all.
You may ask who I am? Haruno Sakura, the World's Most Un-Average Nerd.
Now, another question you may be asking is "What is Haruno Sakura, the World's Most Un-Average Nerd, doing such as average thing, like telling a story?" Simple… I felt like it.
"Oi, Sasuke-teme, did you hear?" asked a golden haired boy, known as Uzumaki Naruto to his best friend.
The best friend in question rolled his eyes.
"Hear what, dobe?"
"There's a new girl! And from what I hear, she ain't too bad to look at!
Sasuke Uchiha, the youngest brother in the Uchiha family, the largest police force in all of Japan, shrugged his shoulders slightly.
"And I should care why?"
The blonde growled.
"Because! This one might be the one to give you a run for your money!"
Sasuke's black eyes averted his gaze to his friend.
"Oh? And how so?"
"Because! She's beautiful, smart, and from what I hear, is loaded!"
"And you think that she's gonna be the one to take the title of "Most Popular," right?"
"Du-"
"Not gonna happen."
And with that, the black haired teenager went back to reading his book, leaving the blond to fume, and stomp off to tell his gossip elsewhere.
"Sakura, I'm sure it won't be too bad…"
I turned to my mother and glared at her with every ounce of my being.
"Too bad? Too bad? Mother, it's going to be a train wreck, you just wait and see."
"Sweetie, you'll find friends here! Friends other than just Gaara, Temari, and Kankuro."
I grumbled, and sat back in my seat.
"I still don't see why you had to move…"
"There was a job opportunity, and I took it, Sakura! Don't you want to be in the place where you were born? I mean, for all you know, you could meet that kid from when you were younger!"
I rolled my eyes.
"Mom, I was in the third grade when I left, for all I know, the kid's dead."
The "Kid" who I'm talking about was my first crush. He was everyone a little kid like me could dream of! The dark dreamy eyes, mysterious air…
"Don't say things like that, Sweetie!"
"I still say I could've moved in with the Sabakus…"
"And leave you all alone with Gaara? Yeah, I'm sure you would've loved that."
I blushed heavily at the idea. My mom was the only one who knew of my huge crush on the youngest Sabaku, and I gotta hand it to her, she knew how to use it against me.
"It's not like I have a choice now. I won't be able to date him. My chances have been officially crushed. You sucked the life out of it, you life-sucker."
My mother rolled her eyes, as she tucked her pink hair behind her ear.
"Whatever, I'm just telling you it's not gonna be that bad."
I sighed and hugged her goodbye.
"Yeah, yeah, I'll see you when I get back from my daily hell. Later, Mom."
She smiled.
"Bye, Honey."
He walked down the hall, dark eyes set upon the hallway ahead of him, squeals of fangirls following his every move.
"He's so dreamy!"
"Just look at how amazing he is!"
"Please, let me bear your children!"
Annoying as it may be, every time he attempted to stop them, it just seemed to gain him more attention… not that ignoring it really helped either.
"Hey, cheer up, Teme. It could be worse."
"Yeah," said the brunette to his other side, red fang tattoos adorning his face. "At least they're not mobbing you!"
"Yet," added the helpful blonde.
The Uchiha merely signed, and tucked his hands further into his pockets, the motion causing girls to faint, and guys to glare. The three teens quickly sat down at their favorite table, where there was already five other people waiting for them; two boys, and three girls. Their names? Yamanaka Ino, head cheerleader, and reigning queen, Hyuuga Hinata, shyest, yet sweetest, Ming (Made up) Tenten, the Kendo champ, Hyuuga Neji, Tenten's rival in Kendo, as well as fave sparring partner, and Nara Shikamaru, the smartest (Not that it shows in his grades).
A chorus of welcomes greeted the three boys as they took a seat.
"Hey, Sasuke, if looks could kill, we'd all be dead. Did a chick ask you to let her "Bear your children" again?" smirked Tenten, leaning on one hand.
The Uchiha glared at her, vein mark present on her forehead. The blonde girl laughed.
"Poor little Uchiha, doesn't know how good he has it," Ino teased, sticking her tongue out at distraught teenager.
"Yeah, seriously, if I could get a chick as quick as he can, Ino wouldn't still be so "Innocent," now would she?"
Ino blushed at the comment, sending the speaker a glare.
"Shut it, Mutt."
"Ooh, Miss Piggy's getting' pissed."
"Why I outta-"
"ANYways!" shouted the blue eyed boy of the group, sweat drops forming on everyone's head in the vicinity of the two currently glaring at each other.
"Kiba, Ino, you we just love to hear you flirt, but please, do it another time?" asked Tenten, bored expression on her face.
Just as they were about to retort, the Uzumaki clamped a hand over their mouths.
"So, I take it the only person that didn't know about the new kid was Sasuke-teme, right?"
Everyone nodded, as Sasuke buried his face in his hands.
"I think… Sasuke has some competition…" said the quietest Hyuuga.
"Hinata's right, she sounds as though she could finally put him in his place," replied her cousin.
Shikamaru rolled his eyes.
"Yeah, last time we said that, she turned into a rabid fangirl, remember?"
Everyone shuddered at the memory of Haruko, the biggest fangirl to walk the earth.
"Isn't she the one that snuck into Sasuke's room and stole his boxers?" Ino said
Sasuke blushed, and hid his head further.
"Yeah, the same one that nearly raped him in the locker room too. You know, after Soccer," added Shikamaru.
The Uchiha sighed as the bell rang.
"Finally," he grumbled, stalking off towards his first class, Shikamaru, Naruto, and Hinata following.
"Finally," I grumbled, stalking off towards my first class, scowl planted firmly on my face. It took me forever to find a place to park, and now I was gonna be late for the first class. Go figure.
I sighed, and kept my head held high. I looked down at my schedule.
"Japanese with Asuma-sensei… D216... Goodie. I get to learn a language I already know."
I walked over to the D building, upstairs, and began checking the numbers.
"212... 214... 216... Well, I suppose I should go in."
I placed a hand on the door, and gently pulled it open, walking inside slowly. All eyes were on me, and I admit, I was a bit… nervous.
"Haruno Sakura, right?" asked the teacher, cigarette firmly in his mouth.
I nodded, and showed him my schedule. He nodded.
"Take a seat next to… Uzumaki Naruto. Naruto, raise yo-"
"Here, here, over here! Yelled a voice from the back, hand waving wildly, while the other pointed to a chair next to him.
Sakura sweat dropped, yet it seemed as though everyone else was complete used to his childish ways. I slowly made my way to the seat next to him, which was behind a guy with spiky hair, and diagonal to a girl with these blank eyes… kinda creepy. But she seemed nice enough, by the way she turned around merely to smile at me.
"I'm… Hyuuga Hinata… It's nice to meet you," she said quietly, nodding towards me, after Asuma-sensei began to teach.
"Nara Shikamaru," said the boy in front of me.
"I'm Uzumaki Naruto, the next principle!"
"Not with grades like yours, dobe."
I looked to the other side of Naruto to see a dark haired man looking impassive at everything around him… Naruto began to glare at the boy, and the other two merely rolled their eyes and looked forward. I didn't know it at the time, but me, the World's Most Un-Average Nerd, was gonna get school in a subject that had never quite crossed my mind:
Life.
A/N: Wow, that took a lot less time than I would've imagined! Well, this isn't my best work, seeing as I threw it together in a matter of minutes after first being attacked by the plot bunny (Is petting bunny as I type), and it only took me about two hours, so feel free to point out anything that you think I can improve on! Ja!
