Author's note:Helloooooo everyone! Sorry I've been dead on but a lot has been going on. Dont worry, I will finish Ino in team 7 later. This is gonna be my second story. It's centered around Sasuke and Ino. There's a new( SUPER HOTT)guy in Konaha Jr. High and when he arrives, a certain blue eyed blonde girl runs into him. Will they become friends? Or maybe even something...more? Read to find out! Oh yeah, no copyright intended. I don't own Naruto. If I did, Suckura would be dead, Ino would be with Sasuke and Sasori never would have died. Anyways.

Ino slowly walked through the hallways of Konaha Jr. High. It was a warm and sunny morning. Ino, with a lot of other students, was wandering around the school, trying to memorize her scheduals and locations of her classrooms. After all, it was only their second week at the crazy school.

A couple other kids were already inside homeroom class, waiting for Kakashi sensei, the homeroom teacher for 7th graders. Her friend TenTen,who was a year older then her, informed her that he was always late. Always. Ino spun the combination of her locker. She tried again and again and again, but her stubborn locker wouldn't budged. She groaned and looked up, trying to find a familiar face in the crowd. She spotted Kin, who was a popular 8th grader, and another girl she didn't know. They were giggling and gossiping in a corner. Kin seemed to notice Ino.

She smirked and said to the girl next to her,"Isn't she one of the new 7th graders? She's so tiny and cute!" The other girl laughed. Ino kicked her locker and stomped off.

As you may have guessed Ino was NOT in a good mood. First her locker jammed, then some random 8th grader called her tiny and cute! She growled at that thought and head into her classroom.

She scanned the room and her face lit up when she saw Sakura. She smirked and walked over to the pink head and plopped her stuff down next to her."Hi forehead!" Ino greeted her.

Sakura smiled back and replied happily, "Hey Ino pig!"

She bounced happily in her seat. "Ino don't you just love Junior High? I mean, all the responsibility they give us? We finally get to act like adults! This is going to be a blast!"

Ino nodded and grinned. Sakura kept on talking and talking about who- knows- what while Ino started thinking and sighed. She, along with Hinata, Kiba, Shikimaru, Shino, Choji,Sakura, Naruto and a whole lot of other students her age, were just entering Junior High.

She had only been here a week and she was already sick of it. The teachers were all getting stricter and asigning more homework. Plus, ever since entering Junior High, the teachers were all forcing the new 7th graders to start acting mature and like young adults. Both things Ino was not looking forward to. In fact, everyone was telling her to 'grow up'. Couldn't they see she was trying? That wasn't the only thing.

Everyone these days was obssesed with popularity and boys! Sakura was one of was really annoying, actually. What happended to the good old days where what mattered was how long your hair was and if you could run fast or not? Did everyone forget that? Not to mention, the school was full of self absorbed snappish freaks! Suddenly, Hinata, Kiba and Naruto all sat down near her with warm greetings, snapping her out of her thoughts. She greeted them back with smiles. " Hi you guys!" Scratch that. Not EVERYONE was a self absorbed snappish freak. Some people actually remember how to be nice.

She then suddenly gasped. Naruto turned from his seat and gave her a quizical look. Ino made a face. " I have to use the bathroom..."

Naruto laughed. "Thats all?Sorry, I don't think you'll make it before the bell, Ino."

Ino smiled mischeviousely. "Wanna bet?"

Naruto smirked. "Hell yeah!", he answered. But by then she was already out the door.

Ino blazed through the school, her hair whipping behined her. Her eyes franticly darted back and forth. She then ran a random direction. No good. That got her to the Lunch Room. She took off again. Computer lab? Wrong! She groaned. The hallway was completely empty. She would be lucky if she made it back to her classroom! She started running like a bullet towards her homeroom class. Suddenly, she spotted someone and tried to stop running. But it was too late.

She crashed headfirst into the guy in front of her, causing both of them to be sent flying in different directions. Ino slowly sat up, rubbing the back of her head. She cursed under her , Ino grabbed the hand in front of her, which pulled her up to her feet. Ino gazed at the guy in front of her. He had dark onyx eyes and black hair that hung low over his face. He was smirking. Coming to her senses, Ino blinked, then glared at him. "What was that for?"

The guy in front of her rolled his eyes. "I wouldn't be talking you know." He stated in a smug voice.

Ino frowned."I don't have time for this." She flipped her hair and started walking in the opposite direction. He suddenly grabbed her hand.

Ino's eyes widended as she spun around. " Let go!"She commanded.

He continued smirking. "Not till you apologize to me."

Ino's glare turned into a death glare. "Let go, I'm gonna be late!" He tightened his grip. She heard the bell ring.

Ino groaned. "Crap!" as the boy let go of her arm. She gave him a mean stare and turned around, sashaying down the hall. When she turnd a corner, she ran till her classroom.

As she burst through the door, Kakashi senei raised an eyebrow."Ino, how nice of you to join us. Would you care to tell us why you were late?"

Ino gulped. Out of the corner of her eye she saw a dark haired boy and the nurse/ counselor, Shizune. She tried to think of an excuse fast.

She cleared her throat, "I had to use the retroom...", and Kakashi sensei looked even more confused.

"Why didn't you use the restroom next door?"He asked in a curious tone. Heat rushed to Ino's cheek.

Ino shrugged unsurely. Kakashi sensei smiled. " It's fine. THIS time."

She turned towards the boy. Suddenly she gasped. "YOU! FROM THE HALLWAY!"

He replied in a smooth tone. " Yeah, 'me from the hallway.' I'm honnored you still rememeber me." That got a couple of chuckles.

Ino glared at him(again). Kakashi sensei sighed and rolled his turned to her sensei and grinned thankfully. She then rushed to her seat. On the bright side, not many people had witnessed her trip up, most people were staring at the dark haired boy.

She could hear all the girls squealing. As Ino sat down, Sakura tilted her head.

"What was that?" She asked Ino.

Ino huffed. "That guy crashed into me and stalled time so I would be late." Sakura blinked.

"Then how did he get here before you?" Ino didn't have an answer, so Sakura smirked. "This is his first day here and he already knows this place better then you do!"

Ino rolled her eyes. She then scanned the room. Every single girl in the room was staring at Sasuke with hearts in their eyes. There was nothing special about him; he seemed like a total jerk. To her, anyway. Ino studied him a little. She definetly had feelings for him. But were they good feelings or bad?
