Hey =) So this is your average Naruto high school fanfiction ^_^ but I'm hoping it turns out good enough to get ideas messaged to me, and perhaps reviews? –winkwink- I really would like some ideas if you have them, because teamwork is a beautiful thing! Anyways the couples in here, as of now, are SasuSaku, NaruHina, NejiTen, ShikaTema, SaiIno, GaaMatsu, SuiKari, and then if I decide to go really in depth there may be some Akatsuki pairings. Some of the characters may be a little OOC, but I don't want this to be anything dark, or uber serious so I had to leave some stuff out such as the Uchiha Massacre, the Kyuubi stuff, and the Uzumaki-Namikaze killing. =D I hope none of that is a turn off for you readers =) Oh! And one last note. This will NOT be a lemon, because I will feel all awkward and dirty while writing it XD LoL if any of the relationship stuff seems out of place or plain ridiculous please tell me because I have no serious experience in dating so yeah… off of me on to the story~!

"Sakura! You better get up right now! I'm on my way to your house and if you make me late to school again like last year I'll-" Ino, my blonde, super loud best friend woke up every day at 5:30 to properly shower, dress, and do her hair and make-up flawlessly. I on the other hand, woke up at 7:30 to run out of my bed, shower, get dressed, and do my small amount of make-up and hair in the car. Even though she understands the difference in schedule she has to call at 6:30 in the morning to bother me and make me think of smothering myself with my own pillow. I mean seriously! What good friend calls that early? Well not my other friends, because they are considerate of my sleeping habits, so OTHER people ought to think about taking a leaf out of their books. –coughINOcough-

"INO! I'm going, I'm going. But realize this is your freebie for the month; I'm getting up when I want for the rest." I spoke slowly and deliberately, hoping to shake the sleep off with every passing word, to no avail. My only cure for the morning was one steamy hot shower, and finishing the last minute under icy water. "I'm gonna get ready, talk to ya later." And with the abrupt closing I shut my phone. I dragged myself out of the leaf green covers, and sat upon my bed looking at the room in front of my eyes. The fluffy carpet was a creamy color, with a forest green rug in front of my bed. The wooden dresser sat near my closet, close to my desk with my laptop, mp3 player, and other desktop devices sitting on top of the flat surface. My shelves were placed in various places across my walls, different heights accommodating different needs. My manga was on a lower shelf, whereas my picture frames were higher up. My bookshelf's six shelves were packed up to the next on every row. Posters littered every four inches of space across the walls. Some were bought, some were made, but they all had a distinct memory behind that made me grin when I saw them.

I walked towards my dresser and laid out my new back to school outfit which consisted of a red thick strapped tank top with a creamy skirt with slits up the side, buckles keeping it in one piece, and some black spandex shorts underneath, paired with black knee socks, and sneakers. After taking a delicious shower and using all vanilla scented products (shampoo, conditioner, body wash, even face wash) I stepped out and toweled off my cherry blossom pink hair. It used to bother me, because I got a lot of unwanted attention, but now I realize it's a part of who I am. Its natural, and it works with my eyes, which are a beautiful jade color. The contrast between the two and my peachy skin worked so I might as well keep it.

I got dressed in my outfit, grabbed my pre-packed back pack, and was just walking downstairs when I heard a honk. I sped up my pace, grabbed a bagel, kissed my mom on the cheek, hugged my dad, and dashed outside. There stood the Ino-mobile. It was ostentatious just like her. It was neon purple and every sleek line of the sports car was perfectly polished. In the driver's seat sat my perfectly polished best friend, since 1rst grade I might add. We had a few rough patches, but we pulled through by the end of middle school and formed one of the coolest groups of friends at our school. Ino was a platinum blonde, with black flats, a purple mini skirt, and a purple crop top with white embellishments. She was the popular one of the group, and had the most experience in dealing with the 'Kings' for a long period of time.

I hopped in the car and began chatting about things such as teachers, locker placements, and how the cafeteria food had really stepped up a notch since middle school, while putting on a thin layer of mascara and chapstick.

"So are we picking up Hinata and all of them too, or do they already have rides?" I asked wondering if I ought to move my bag from the backseat.

"Nope, just you and me today girlie. Neji insisted that he should drive poor Hinata, Karin is going with this guy who moved in next to her because he has a really nice motorcycle and she wants to try it out, Temari is driving Shikamaru because she thinks that he'll crash if not, and I believe she is also grabbing TenTen on her way." Listing her way through our group of friends, she then giggled a bit. "You know that art show I went to a week ago?"

I nodded, I had heard of the art show, and the hot art guy she met there. "Yeah, what of it? Wait! Let me guess. You two swapped numbers, talked, realized you went to the same school, and he offered to drive you, in which you declined, one to play hard to get like you do, and two because poor little Sakura needed a ride?" I saw her eyes bulge a bit, and her mouth began to open and close like a fish.

"How did you know all of that? Sakura, I told you too stop stalking me! You'll get Sasuke without my help." By the end of her statement she was grinning like a fox. I, on the other hand, was scowling.

"Ino, we talked about this. I'm over him now. Why waste time on the guy who aces all his classes, plays football, baseball, soccer, and basketball, is so hot he could melt the sun, and is friends with the other hottest guys in school?" She turned for a half a second to shoot me an exasperated look.

"Honey, I think you just answered your own question." My scowl deepened.

"You just don't understand. There isn't any point in liking him, because he would never go for me. The last time I had an honest conversation with him was back in 6th grade when we were friends. That was before he started ignoring me. Heck! Even Naruto knew something was up, and he is captain oblivious!" I huffed in response. There wasn't a point in liking someone who would never like you back. Even if their whole family said you were destined to marry their child. Bless your soul Mikoto.

"Well we're he- WHATCH IT BAKA!" Ino screeched in rage as a car swerved in front of her to make it in the parking lot first, causing her to stomp on the brake. After my face met the dash board, I popped back up to see a group of boys hanging out of a Hummer, blatantly laughing at our abrupt stop.

"What assholes," she grumbled incoherently, and I nodded while shooting daggers at the hummer. One of the only parking places was right next to them, and I think Ino seriously considered parking farther away, but even she could see in her blind rage that being late to the first day of sophomore year wouldn't put us in Mrs. Tsunade's good book. We pulled up to them and I looked over to see my ex-best friend/ seven year crush get out of the car and turn, with a customized Uchiha smirk, to look right at me. Our eyes met and his smirk fell right off of his face. He took what seemed to me, a half step in my direction, before turning and walking with Neji towards the class rosters. I heard a giggle and turned to look at an entertained pig.

"Your face Forehead, its so red! And it looks like your eyes are about to bulge out of their sockets!" She let out a loud belly laugh, and then sobered up a bit. "But it honestly doesn't look half bad." She looked at my face a bit closer before getting out of her side and dragging me to the rosters, where I could see all of the other girls laughing, waving, and in Hinata's case, trying to not get caught staring at Naruto. I smiled and let out a breath. I could tell this year would be a long one, but it seemed promising. And hey, maybe there could be some budding romance between my friends and the 'Kings'.
