Chapter 1: Welcome to Konoha High

"Sakura we need to break up," said Sasuke seriously. "I found someone else."

Even before Sakura could say something, Sasuke turned his back and walked away as if nothing had happened.

"Forehead!" called Ino. "Forehead! What did Sasuke say? Hey! Why are you crying?"

"He broke up with me."

"What? He broke up with you!"

"Shh… Lower your voice Ino," said Tenten. "Sakura stop crying already."

"Sakura-chan, please stop crying," pleaded Hinata. "I'll treat you to a strawberry milkshake!"

Sakura smiled. "Really?"

"Hai."

"Oi Hinata! You treat me too," interjected Tenten while Ino pointed at herself indicating she be included too.

"Hai! hai!"

"Yay!"

Haruno Sakura together with Yamanaka Ino, Suichiro Tenten, Hyuuga Hinata, Uchiha Sasuke, Nara Shikamaru, Hyuuga Neji and Uzumaki Naruto are all 2nd year students at Fire Middle School. They have known each other since they were little and it gradually developed into pairs of romantic relationships. That was until Uchiha Sasuke broke up with Haruno Sakura and introduced his new girlfriend, Hatsuko Karin in their group. At first, Ino and Tenten resented the girl but after several days they become the best of friends that left Sakura like an outcast from their group and eventually, almost the whole school turned their backs on her since they say that they tolerated her because he was Uchiha Sasuke's "girlfriend". Sakura isn't beautiful as people in their school say. She wore thick glasses and she had her hair in a crazy bun. The only reason they say that Sasuke made Sakura his girlfriend was because all of their other friends paired off and that leaves him and Sakura. Only Hinata talked to her.

"Hinata, I'm sorry for dragging you in this mess."

"Sakura-chan it's alright. I'm more worried about you."

"Hinata don't worry because I've decided already. I'm transferring to another school."

"Huh? What! Why? What school?"

"Konoha High School."

"Sakura-chan I know it is the top school but you can't transfer there because they don't have a program for middle-school students there."

"They do have a program Hinata-chan but it is on an invitational basis. I was invited to attend Konoha High's special program for middle school students."

"Oh my God! I'm so proud of you! You are considered one of the most intelligent students in the whole country but I'm going to miss you."

"Don't worry I'm going to call you regularly okay?" assured Sakura. "Just don't tell anybody about it. Well, I don't think somebody would notice or even dare to ask but still, can you promise me Hinata that you won't tell anybody about this?"

"Hai. I promise."

"Arigato"

"When are you transferring?"

"Classes in there would start next month but I have to be there by next week. So I'm leaving this coming Sunday."

"You're leaving this Sunday? But its 2 days from now! I can't believe this but since you're my friend I'll be there. What time would be your departure?"

"9:00 am"

"I'll be there I promise," said Hinata. "It's getting late already. I think we need to go home."

"Hai. Bye Hinata!"

"Sayonara!"

Sunday came and Sakura bid her farewell to Hinata. Sakura knew that this was only temporary since she knew that Hinata and the rest would have to enter Konoha High too. It was the best school in the whole country and they were from the most affluent families. Obviously, their parents wouldn't want their children on just some random high school. Hinata, on the other hand noticed as time goes by that Sakura was being happier than before and she knew that Sakura made the right decision.

After two years…

"OMG! This is such a nice school," said Ino. "But how come there are only few students?"

"Troublesome."

"What did you say Nara?"

"Nothing. There are only a few students here because you have to be very very intelligent and exceptionally rich to be able to survive this school."

"Oh!"

"Hey Hinata-chan! Are you looking for someone?" asked Naruto.

"Iie."

"I wonder how the dobe was able to enter this school."

"I heard that teme!"

True enough it was quite a surprise that Naruto was able to enter Konoha High but because he was unpredictable you'll never know what he'll do. He surprised the school board with his interview results and had unanimously agreed to let him enter the school.

"Guys come on! Let us get inside the building," said Tenten as she tugged Neji. "We are all in class I-A right?"

"Hai."

"Come on Sasuke-kun," stated Karin.

"Hn."

The group entered the main building and searched for their classroom, which was in the 2nd floor right wing. They hastily entered the room noticing there were several students from other freshmen classes were already changed into dreaded "fangirls". Seeing there were also students already in the room Karin said, "If you are going to try to get my Sasuke-kun's attention. Forget it or you'll suffer the dire consequences."

But to Karin's surprised nobody even bothered looking at her or to the gang. Most of the students already in the room were either reading or writing. She hid her embarrassment by sitting quickly and conversing with the group as if nothing happened. This was the scene when the bell rang and their sensei entered the room. Everybody stood up, bowed and greeted, "Ohayo Gozaimasu sensei!"

"Good morning to you too. Please sit down." The students then sat down. "I am Yuuhi Kurenai. I'll be your homeroom teacher for the entire school year. The machine installed in every classroom door in this school, as most of you already know records your attendance and punctuality. If there would be an excuse for absence and tardiness please approach me immediately so we could erase records of such. Now let us start with the election of class officers. I hope you read the student hand book well. The nomination for class president is now open."

About five students raised their hand and Kurenai called the girl named Aika.

"I nominate Sakura-chan!"

'Sakura. Where could she be? I know I did something wrong to her. She even told me years ago that we should enter this school together. I know I can't go back and erase my mistakes so I only hope that she's fine.'

Kurenai smiled. "Well, do we have other nominees?"

"I nominate Uchiha Sasuke for president," said Karin proudly.

"I moved that the nomination for president be closed"

"I second the motion."

The election for president concluded with "Sakura-chan" winning the election by most of the votes that left Karin and the rest of the gang surprised and dumbfounded. And Sasuke was officially made the vice-president of the class. The rest of the election turned out fine.

"I can't believe this. How could Sasuke-kun lose! Who is this Sakura anyway?"

Just as she spoke a beautiful lady entered the room. Dressed in Konoha High's complete uniform, her wavy pink tresses were neatly tied into a high ponytail. "Gomen Kurenai-sensei, Tsunade-sama called me in her office." Kurenai nodded and motioned her to take her seat while she scanned the room and saw a familiar face. She waved at her and said, "Hinata-chan!"

"Hinata? You know her?" asked Tenten though there was a sense of familiarity to the girl.

"That is Haruno Sakura."

Everyone in the group paled in color except for Karin and Hinata. The group eyed her carefully and saw that she didn't went to her seat yet. She was in front looking at their other classmates, who were smiling guiltily while putting up a peace sign. "You didn't make me, did you? "

"Sorry. Ahehe"

"Hmph! Your mean!" said Sakura while pouting her lips. "So who is the vice-president?"

"Uchiha Sasuke." Her classmates not knowing that she knew him long before pointed the onyx-eyed teen at the far-end of the room.

"Oh! Hi Sasuke!" The group was stunned especially Sasuke. They thought that Sakura would treat them indifferently but she was so nice. She then turned to look at Kurenai and the rest of the class, "By the way guys we did it!"

"Congratulations!" greeted Kurenai as she saw how almost ¾ of the class was cheering and shouting 'Yay'. "But sorry to interrupt your celebration, class is over."

"Gomen Kurenai-sensei," apologized the "3/4's of the class". "See you tomorrow sensei."

"See you tomorrow!" said Kurenai. "Sakura, you know what to do."

"Hai." And Sakura stood up from her seat and told the whole class, "Good morning everyone! According to the principal, all first year students should proceed to the dormitory after meeting their adviser. There would be a school tour by the dorm manager."

Please review. Thank you very much.
