***************

CHAPTER 1

I yawned out loud, getting some glares from the snobby girls. I laughed silently to myself, running my fingers through my long pink hair, my emerald eyes looking around the classroom. My teacher, Mr. Iruka, was teaching us about chemicals. That's right folks, chemistry. Like I would honestly need that in my life. I didn't even know where my life was going, better yet what I was doing with it. I began to scribble on my paper again, blushing furiously when I realized what it said. It read I heart S.U. And Sakura U. I quickly rubbed it out with my eraser. I put a cold hand to my hot cheek and exhaled a shaky breath. S.U., I thought. Sasuke Uchiha. That's right. He's that one guy that you see, the one you think won't notice you, yet, there he is, your best friend. He was my best friend. I layed my dizzy head down on my arm, trying to calm the sudden rush of emotion and thought about him. He wasn't really different than he was when I first met him which was 2 years ago, when we first started high school here at Konohagakure High. I tried to understand why I was so attached to him and why I blushed.

Memory/Flashback

I walked nervously into the school. It was my first day of 9th grade. My short hair was dyed pink, and my green eyes looked around the halls. Many of the girls around us had dyed hair as well; blues, greens, reds. I fumbled around in my plaid tank top. We had to go to our homeroom first. I didn't know anyone here sinse I had just moved here. There were so many cute guys here! I thought, staring at them all. I continued to walk down the halls, running into the bathroom to check on my appearance. They matter you, know. My dark denim skinny jeans were tight, and I wore sandals to finish it. My hair was all down and I thought I looked decent. I took a deep breath and walked to homeroom. I walked in when the warning bell rung, signaling us to class. There were a bunch of kids gathered around a tall guy that had tan skin, and long black hair. He had deep black eyes and was very cute. There were five kids my age around him;one with long brown hair, one with long blue hair, one with long white hair and one with brown hair that was up in a spiky ponytail. The tall guy whispered something, making them all turn around and look at me. I blushed, looking away.

"Hey there, pinky." The tall one said in a deep voice. I returned my embarrassed gaze to him, watching him check me out.

"Hi." I say in a loud gentle voice. He smirked, taking a step towards me.

"Im Kotetsu Hagane." He held his arms open and I stared dumbfounded at him. What did he want me to do?

"Sakura Haruno." I said, mimicking him. He chuckled before stepping all the way to me and hugging me to his chest. I blushed deeper and hugged him back.

"So, are you a frosh here too?" What in the world was a frosh. I made a face at him and he laughed.

"You don't know what a frosh is?" The guy that had long brown said insultingly. I stared at the ground, my blush deepening if possible. My whole face must be red by now.

"Cool it, Neji. Looks like she's not just new to school, but new to town." He caught on quick. The Neji kid came to me then, holding out his hand.

"Neji Hyuuga. And a frosh is a freshman" He said in a stern voice. I shook his head. I couldn't release his gaze. His eyes were the most beautiful color of silver/grey.

"You must have heard me say my name already." He grunted and walked away.

"Please excuse my brother. He can be kind of...distant. Im Hinata Hyuuga by the way." The blue haired girl said. This girl had his eyes but they were hardly as great when I looked at her face. She was adorable and timid but she was nice.

"Kind of? Don't you mean all the time?" Another boy said. He had white hair.

"Shut it Kimimaro." He chuckled again at the mad Neji and Kotetsu chuckled.

"So, Im hoping that besides these weirdos, you'll like it here." Kotetsu said, grazing his fingers on my hand. Just then, our teacher, who had long white hair, walked in.

"Sorry I'm late people, I had to.....Kotetsu...what are you doing here? And why are you harassing a freshman?" Kotetsu chuckled before walking out of class. After that, they day was much the same. I made new friends and I fit in. It was great, until I got the 4th period biology. I walked in, late because I got lost. And the teacher, Mr. Iruka, who taught basically all science classes, scolded me. (He didn't like to be called by his last name, actually, none of the teachers here did.) I tried to apologize but he just said to forget about it and to go sit down. So as I looked around, I spotted Hinata and started to walk over to her when my eyes travelled and landed on obsidian ones. I paused for a milisecond before walking again. He had long black hair in the front that spiked in the back. A bit emo, are we? But that clear pale skin shined. He stared at me, not saying anything and I stared back until he was behind me, to my left.

I smiled on my arm, remembering perfectly that that was the first time I ever saw him. And then I fastforwarded a few weeks to the time when we first became friends.

I was walking into biolgoy. The class I always looked forward to, because thats the class I had with Sasuke Uchiha. That was the obsidian eyed boy I first saw that day in bio, and he's still great looking.

"Ok, we will have partner work and I am picking your partners." The class groaned but shut up quickly when he eyed us all, glaring. He went through the class, calling me in the middle.

"Ok, Sakura...you will be partnered with, Sasuke." I nodded, looking away to Hinata, hiding my face. I saw him look at me from the corner of my eye. After he finished the list, he ordered us to start. I got up and stretched, watching Sasuke walk over to me.

"Hey." I said coolly.

"Hey." He said quietly back. I looked at him; checked him out. He was wearing a blessthefall band tee, black skinny jeans and converses (if you dont like the outfits, than change them to what you like).

"You like blessthefall?" I asked.

"Yea, their my favorite band."

"Mine too! I went to their concert once, but I kinda fell and landed in mud. It was disgusting." He laughed, and I thought his smile would kill me. We talked that whole time of music and such, becoming friends from that day on.

"Sakura! SAKURA!" Mr. Iruka said. I jolted up. "Now, would you like to tell us what that exact value of mole equals?" I sighed, sitting up. I must have fallen asleep.

"6.02 times 10 to the 23rd." I answered. He grunted and continued his boring lessen which I paid no mind to. The bell rung 5 minutes later and I jumped up, eager to get to my next class. Sasuke and I were both in it. It was applied Nutrition. I walked along, getting there and talking to my other friends. He came in and I sat down, him sitting behind me.

"Hey." He said with a smile. I smiled back.

"Hey yourself."

"So, I went to this concert yesterday, and it was amazing." I stared into his eyes, nodding.

"Who'd you go see?" I asked him, watching him scoot up closer.

"Blessthefall, In Fear and Faith,.." He continued but I zoned out. Just the sound of his voice was appealing to me right now. I didn't understand what was going on with me, so I turned my head away. "You ok?" He asked. I looked back at him, and he looked concerned. I laughed and smiled.

"Of course I am. Why?" He smiled again.

"I don't know, there seems to be something up with you lately. You've been acting kind of weirdly." I shrugged and turned around when the teacher came in. I crossed my legs and sat there, until a tap on the should came from behind. I turned my head slightly, a piece of paper being thrown at my face. He started laughing and I grunted. It was folded badly, but I knew it was a note. Good thing we didn't sit in the front of the room. I opened it up, grabbing my pencil at the same time.

'What's up? Really?' He asked. I smiled.

'Nothing. Really.' I scribbled, folding the paper and throwing it behind me. I looked around the classroom and saw Neji eyeing me. I lifted my chin, he did the same and began to laugh. I didn't understand until a paper floated down from my head.

'Liar.' He wrote. I glanced back at him, glaring. He smirked.

'I'm fine. I was just thinking.' I placed the paper gently on his desk, knowing what was coming next.

'About what?' He wrote. I smiled. I got it right.

'Life.' Wasn't a lie, wasn't the whole truth either.

'You gotta explain that to me. You can't just say life.' I sighed. What do I say? What do I say?

'I was..thinking about how cheese can be yellow and white.' I said, holding in a laugh. I heard him chuckle when he read it.

'Cheese? lol liar. That's hardly got anything to do with life.'

'Food. Its a very important part of every person's life.'

'Yes, but it wasn't what you were thinking about.' I stared at the paper. He knew me very well. Always saw through my pretenses. So I decided to go with a different truth.

'My parents.' That's all I had to say and he would understand.

'I'm telling you, you should really just come live with me.' My face felt hot and I stalled, asking to go to the bathroom. She denied of course. I cursed at her under my breath. Dang Ms. Anko.

'I...I can't do that. I can't burden you.' My mood was instantly dampened.

'Yes. you CAN! And you will.' He shoved the paper at me. I turned around to see him smiling at me, his head cocked to the side.

"You really want me to? You really don't mind?" I whispered.

"No, I don't mind." He said in an equally quiet voice. I smiled at him.

"Thank you. You're a great friend." I said.

"No I'm not." He grunted, slouching in his seat. I laughed.

"You don't see yourself clearly at all, you know."

"So I've been told." He crooned behind me. And I laughed again. Im always laughing when I'm with him. They day went by much the same and the end of the day was coming. My equally favorite time of day. I walked and he rode a bus. The bell rung and I walked out with him, to the door like I did every day.

"Ok. Well, you know how it goes. I have to go. Get on aim tonight, ok?" I said, all the people rushing past us. He paused and took some steps towards me, sinse he was about to head out the door.

"Ok." He said, opening his arms to hug me. My smile widened and I gladly stepped into his arms. We hugged, my arms around his neck, his around my waist. And then parted. Another day, another moment for me to always remember. I headed home, for another night, although, what happened tonight, I didn't anticipate.

Author's note: Of course, its not the most exciting first chapter, but please, it does get better.
