~Prologue


Step. Step. Step. Stop.

She paused outside the door, one step behind her soon-to-be homeroom, soon-to-be teacher, soon-to-be classmates, and soon-to-be student life.

With one hand holding her timetable and another lightly tugging at a wisp of petal pink hair, she made sure she was at the right place. Can't embarrass myself on my first day, eh?

Letting the strand of hair escape her slightly jittery fingers, she used her freed hand to knock three times on the door. She heard footsteps answer the noise. Closing her eyes, she took a deep, calming breath. Just as the door opened and revealed a brown-haired male teacher, she opened her green eyes.

This is it. It's a new beginning.

And with that thought in her mind, Haruno Sakura wore a pretty, little smile and stepped inside.

It was a beautiful Monday morning in Konoha City, with the everyday bustling streets of people going to work, shops opening for business, and students heading to school. Midori Gakuen, one of Japan's top high schools located in the heart of the city, was slowly being filled with youths in white and green-themed uniforms. The school was large and exquisite, with spacious classrooms, high-quality equipments, modernized computer labs, a big gym and cafeteria, an artistically-decorated auditorium, a beautiful sports field, and a mini rooftop garden. Midori Gakuen was known not just for its beauty, but also for its balanced prestige; it was equally strong in academics, athletics, and the arts.

This, together with job offers that Haruno Mebuki and Haruno Kizashi cannot refuse, lead our pink-haired heroine to transfer from her old high school to Midori, two months after the beginning of the new school year.

With a quiet click of a combination lock, Sakura closed her locker and started walking in the direction towards the main school doors, intent to go home. She was immensely content that her first day went by smoothly; her teachers were pleasant, her classmates were polite, she made some nice acquaintances, and she enjoyed a wonderful packed lunch under a beautiful Japanese maple tree near the sports field. As she silently made her way out of her new school, Sakura could not help but think that student life here will definitely be peaceful. I'm going to love it.

She paused in her walking, chuckled quietly to herself, and then continued on her way home.

Boy, how wrong she is.

Well, at least on the peaceful part. The days ahead of her definitely do not fall under the category of peaceful (she doesn't know that, though). But, she would positively love them─well, if she was a normal girl, like 98% of the female population in her new school. And we all know that the heroine is always a bit different, ne?

What Sakura does not know was that, the moment she caught someone's interested gaze when she chuckled quietly to herself in the hall, was the moment her 'peaceful student life' shattered into pieces and tumbled into a black hole. And in the coming days, she will capture not just one, not just two─certainly not just three!─but more enamored gazes that could make any girl swoon.

What studious, reserved, and dear Haruno Sakura does not know was that, just as charm can get you out of trouble, it can get you in trouble, too.

What luck, Sakura does not even know she's charming.

What's more, the pretty pinkette forgot one other major fact about her new high school. Midori Gakuen was also known for its population of male students─specifically, its hot, handsome, sexy, and equally charming boys.

You know what this means?

Trouble, trouble, trouble.
