North East: Konaha High
Chapter 1
The World Was Such a Wholesome Place
As the sun shone through Sakura's window she opened her eyes to see a bright sunny day. As she got ready she couldn't help but wonder about what was going to happen today. Each day at Konaha High School was interesting, even if girl world was a peace there was always the constant reminder of village conflict, and not only because she took advanced civics, but because of the constant rumors which surrounded everyone.
As she walked to school she spotted her crush, Sasuke Uchiha, but who was he walking with? None other then her worse enemy Ino Yamanka, she got closer, and decided to walk by fast pretending to be late. She picked up her pace, and felt her heart pounding. She walked past Ino and Sasuke. Please don't say anything, please don't say anything, she thought.
"Sakura," Ino called pretending to care "What's the rush?"
"I'm Late," Sakura replied not looking back
"Sakura," Sasuke said "Class doesn't start for another half hour. How could you be late?"
Stupid Ino! Just had to say something!
Shut-up Stupid inner!
Don't play dumb! You know you hate her! Now don't just stand there say something!
I'm working on it! You're so annoying!
I'm you idiot!
I'm not stupid! I know who I am!
Say Something before Sasuke thinks you're crazy!
Yeah, I'm not crazy at all. I'm just having a fight with my inner self.
"Oh I just had to use the dictionary." Sakura finally lied "I left mine at school, and I have to finish my homework."
"I live right beside you!" Ino said like she could see through her "Why didn't you just ask to use mine."
Had Ino caught on? Sakura wondered "I was training late last night." She lied again "Your lights were out and I didn't want to bother you."
"Well how thoughtful of you." Ino said sarcastically
Sakura nodded pretending not to get her sarcasm. There was an uncomfortable silence around, the air was heavy and if Sakura didn't get out she thought she might just choke on it.
"I'm going to get to school now, and finish that homework." Sakura said before hurrying off, but not before hearing Ino call her billboard brow.
That was a close one.
You can see that again.
Beginning of 3rd period, advanced civics
Sakura walked into civics class and sat down in an empty seat in front of Hinata, and on the left of Tenten.
"Hey, what do you guys want to do this weekend?" Tenten asked "My parents are out of town, wanna sleepover? Popcorn, maybe watch a movie?"
"I'm in." Sakura said "Hinata?"
"I don't know," Hinata said "I'll have to ask my father."
Hinata always had problems such as this. Hinata's father was not a very opened minded man, and Sakura was thankful that Hinata was not at all like her father. Although she had been shy most of her life, now at age 14 Hinata was as 'out there' as Ino.
"Well if your father won't let you," Sakura joked "We'll be forced to sneak you out your window."
"That's right," Tenten agreed laughing "We'll just get a rope and some black outfits, and act like its ok but once the lights are out we'll come get you."
"Yeah!" Hinata said holding back laughter "And in the same night we'll run around Konaha singing folk songs!"
They laughed.
"Sounds like a plan." Sakura laughed
"If my dad caught me I'd be so grounded." Hinata said
"That's ok," Tenten giggled "we'll just sneak out again."
"If I go down though," Hinata joked "I'm taking you guys down with me!"
Sasuke came in and sat in front of Sakura.
"Oh, my gosh!" Tenten said "Sasuke is sitting in front of you!"
"I don't think she's blind, Tenten." Hinata said
Kakashi-sensei walked into the room and sat down at the desk in the front of his students. "Good Morning everyone," he said "Lets begin by hearing your thoughts on the current events involving Konaha and Oto."
Ino stood up. "I think it's a poor village, full of losers, run by an all seeing, power seeking, ego tripping dictator who needs to learn how to mind his own business."
"Hey!" a dark haired girl stood up and put her hands on her hips "Who the heck do you think you are! I'm from the Oto. You witch!"
"See!" Ino said "He's even got his poorly dressed slaves over here! He needs to learn how to keep his freakin' distance and keep his losers in his own village"
"For your information girl I'm adopted." The girl said "Why do you always gotta go and open your mouth before you know what's up?!"
"Thank you Kin, Ino, you both can sit down now." Kakashi-sensei said
"Don't rub it in." Tenten said "I think she can understand with out your help Ino."
"Oo, weapon girl got a back bone." Ino said
"Ahh, can it Ino." Naruto said "You're just running your mouth to hear your voice."
"Why don't you?" Ino said "If you weren't half way across the room you wouldn't be talking Mr. Failure!"
"Hey now!" Sakura said "Stop, your acting five!"
"Coming from little miss forehead," Ino said
"What the heck does that have to do with anything?" Sakura asked
"Yeah!" Temari agreed "Can you not come up with anything better? Gosh you're slow!"
"I'm gonna kill you!" Ino said
"Wow," Temari smirked "I'd love to see you try."
"Bring it!" Ino said
"That's enough!" Kakashi-sensei said loudly and sternly, in a way that scared most everyone. Everyone quietly sat down. "Because everyone is so opinionated today, everyone can write a 2,000 word essay on the subject."
A choir of mumbling fell over the class.
"And I want it in by the end of class." He said
Ino opened her mouth to say something.
"Not a word," Kakashi-sensei said "You have half an hour."
"Don't you think that's a bit rational Kakashi-sensi?" Naruto asked "I mean 2,000 words in a half hour? That's harsh."
"Do I need to make it 3,000?" Kakashi-sensei asked
Naruto looked at his blank sheet.
Sakura picked her pencil and began to write the growing conflict between Konaha and Oto is
Oh Come on! Your not going to do this are you? This is a bunch of crap!
Shut up! I'm working! It's not beneficial to our village, Oh, come on! Come on! Time move slower!
Tenten struggled as she read over the paper in her head, the conflict between Oto and Konaha is affecting our village in many negative ways, the young children for example, are not prepared for an attack if one was to occur, even though we have allies in many places we still... AGH! Stupid Ino! Always gotta go opening her mouth all the time!!
Hinata had no problem with the paper at all, for the writing was her strong point, the presentation however, was not going to be as easy. If I can just get through the presentation I think I can manage at least a B minus.
Ino sat racking her brain to the limit trying to figure something out. There's fifteen minutes left, if I can just write down something that won't give me a zero, even a D would do at this point.
Tenten was almost done. I need twenty more words! Come on Tenten, think, THINK!
Sakura sat working hard. Ow my hands cramping! How much time's left, I don't want to waste a second by looking up. The bell rang. Oh crap times up.
"Okay, everyone class dismissed I'll collect the papers tomorrow morning." Kakashi-sensei said
"WHAT?!" Ino jumped up "You said thirty minutes!"
"This if worse then the freakin' chunin exams!" Naruto exclaimed "I mean we worked our butts off!"
"A ninja must see through deception." Kakashi-sensi said "Did you really expect me to grade a 2,000 word essay you wrote in thirty minutes? I thought you knew me better then that."
"I hate when you say that Sensei!" Naruto said
"Oh boo-who!" Kin said monotonously "Orochimaru was tougher then this!"
"Who asked you anyway?" Ino asked bitterly
"There you go again!" Temari said "Mouthing off when you don't know anything!"
"Alright!" Kakashi-sensei said "That's enough, alright then, tomorrow we're going on a survival exercise and EVERYONE is going to work together."
"What a drag." Shikamaru who had not talked up to this point said
"You got that right!" Temari agreed
Kiba walked in late. "What the heck is everyone's problem?"
"Well Ino here made us have to do a survival test tomorrow." Temari began
"Don't go blaming this all on me." Ino yelled "It's your fault."
"This is gonna suck!" Kiba said
"Don't be like that!" Tenten said "Think of it as an adventure!"
"That was corny." Sakura laughed
"Way to ruin the mood Sakura!" Hinata joked
"Just grow up will ya?" Sasuke asked
"Shut-up Uchiha" Naruto said
"It's entirely you guy's fault!" Ino said "You should learn to shut your mouths."
"Wow," Temari whispered "I didn't know she knew what entirely means!"
"I'm unimpressed." Neji said
"We leave tomorrow morning at 5:30 in the morning." Kakashi said
"What about these stupid papers?" Ino asked
"I'll take them up at 5:30." Kakashi explained
"And I thought the world was such a wholesome place." Kin said bitterly
"Can you just Shut-up?" Ino smirked
They all continued to argue until the warning bell rang and they headed off into different directions to class.
