I decided to try a high school fic for Naruto, I always had liked high school fics. I know Fever has been most inactive lately and I'm soooo sorry about that! While waiting for that, read this and tell me what you think! Sasuke/Sakura/Neji. Bwahahahah!
I tugged lightly at my tie and smiled at myself in the mirror. I arrived in Konoha just yesterday, Father was posted here for work and naturally Mother and I had to follow. I was very unhappy about it and I made it clear to my parents. I hated leaving my friends behind even though Mother said I'd make new ones. I was originally reluctant to change schools but when mother showed me a brochure of the campus I was to study in, I was bought over. Taking my bag from the floor I made my way downstairs.
"Sakura! Are you going to eat breakfast?" My mother called from the kitchen.
"No, I drank milk." I replied, slipping into my shoes, "I'm leaving,"
The morning breeze was gentle and it made me smile. There were many shops along the street and I made it a point to explore them when I came back from school. I paused in front of a flower shop and peered in. There were several shouts from inside and I cringed when I heard a door slam. Turning to walk away, I froze upon hearing a girl's voice.
"We're closed in the mornings," she informed me. I turned around to smile.
"I was just looking."
She had ridiculously long blond hair which was tied up into a high pony tail but I couldn't look away from those gleaming blue eyes. She stared at me, up and then down.
"You go to Konoha High!" She exclaimed. I nodded slowly.
"I just moved here yesterday," I pointed to my house a few shops away. She grabbed my hand and nodded quickly.
"I'm Yamanaka Ino," she introduced as she dragged me along to keep up with her fast pace.
"Haruno Sakura," I smiled.
"Is your hair really pink?"
The school was huge. The entrance itself towered over me. I couldn't help but stare at the building. Ino took me to the General Office and she unloaded a whole pile of files on me, explaining what classes I was in.
"But you're in my class, so no problem!" She grinned.
"Are we already late?" I asked, looking around at the empty hallways.
"You're new, you're excused." She shrugged, "Besides, our teacher is always late. Always."
I followed obediently behind her as she led me to our class. Before she slid open the door, she turned to wink at me. The classroom was awfully noisy; everyone seemed to have something to do.
"My name is Uzumaki Naruto!" A blond appeared in front of me. I took a step back and laughed.
"Haruno Sakura,"
"Go away Naruto, she doesn't have time for you." Ino snapped, swatting the boy in his face. He muttered something under his breath but refused to move.
"Okay, I'll start with the introductions." Ino tapped her chin.
"Oh, as you know, that's Naruto. He fails everything." Ino glared at him, but he ignored her. She glanced around the class.
"That's Hyuuga Hinata. She's really shy and she stammers a lot, but she's really sweet. She's got a cousin in this school but he's older than us." She pointed to a girl sitting in the middle of the class. Her head was bent over her book and her dark bangs covered her pale eyes.
"That's Shikamaru, no need to know his surname. You don't need to show him any respect whatsoever." Ino huffed, pointing to a considerably handsome guy in the back. His hair was pulled back into a messy ponytail but from the way Ino stared at him; I guessed something was going on. I chose to keep quiet though. She carried on with more introductions till the teacher stepped in. He had snow white hair and a mask that almost covered his entire face. Ino pulled me to the seat next to her. I glanced around the class in interest, when my eyes fixed on a dark haired guy diagonally behind me. He had jet black hair that fell messily on the sides of his face, the rest of it was spiked carefully up. He had dark alluring eyes that seemed to catch every small detail. His jaw was hard and his lips, a thin line. My breath caught in my throat when he glanced up at me with his cold eyes. I turned to face the front immediately. I focused on what the teacher was trying to say.
To my absolute relief, the lessons being taught were almost the same as my old school. I did not have any problems with the lesson, except I was awfully distracted by that mask our teacher had on. I wondered what was below it. When the lesson was over, it seemed like it was a free period. The class was as noisy as anything again.
"Ino, I'm going to check out my locker. I want to put some stuff inside." I told her. She nodded cheerfully.
"Need me to follow you?"
I shook my head.
"It's just down the hallway on your right." She said.
"Thanks!"
The hallway was crowded with students from different levels. I hugged my books to my chest and walked slowly, drinking in my surroundings.
"245" I read off the slip of paper I was given. I peered at the nearest locker and walked down the aisle, looking for mine. I continued walking with my eyes on the lockers when I bumped into someone. My books scattered all over the floor.
"Oh crap! I'm sorry," I apologized quickly, dropping to my knees to retrieve the books. My hand flew to my shoulder, it was throbbing uncomfortably.
"Are you alright?" A deep voice asked from above me. I looked up and my eyes widened. He had the palest eyes I'd ever seen in my life. His hair was long, almost like a girl, but I thought it fit him perfectly.
"I'm fine!" I laughed, gathering my books and standing up again. Looking at the locker next to me, I let out a squeal of happiness. It was my locker. I turned the knob and tugged at it, but it didn't bulge. I frowned, trying again. The third time I tried, I heard a quiet chuckle next to me. I turned to see the same guy standing next to me. His locker was right next to mine.
"Are you new?" He asked, not looking at me.
"Yeah," I smiled, forcing the locker open and stacking my books neatly, "I'm Haruno Sakura,"
"Hyuuga Ne-" he stopped when the shrill school bell sounded through the hallway.
"I've got to go, I'll see you around," I waved, running back to class. Hyuuga, could it be Hinata's cousin? When I reached the class, I asked Ino about it.
"He talked to you?" She gasped. I hesitated.
"Yes?"
"Wow. He hardly talks to anyone, but himself." She mused, "He's the best in literature in his level, he speaks English too perfectly."
I pondered on the thought before asking.
"Then what is he good at?" I pointed to the guy I was staring at before.
"Uchiha Sasuke? He's cute isn't he." Ino giggled, "Well, he's good at everything else."
And I'm done! I hoped you liked it. I promise to update Fever as soon as I can! Review as usual.
