Sakura rolled her eyes at her appearance in the mirror. The shirt she was wearing didn't compliment the jeans she was wearing or her curves. She tore it off and pulled on a different one. She smiled this time. It was cream-colored long sleeved shirt with moose on it. She grabbed a hooded vest from her chair and walked out of her room. "Kakashi-san?" She called. "Look at my room when you have a chance, I painted it all through last night. Along with arranging my bedroom." She grabbed her bag for the week and sighed. She would miss the peace of this room.
"Alright, Sakura-chan." Sakura hissed at the suffix, but he ignored her. "Grab some breakfast before you leave for school. I will see you in a week." Sakura nodded and grabbed a pop tart. She pulled on her brown uggs and headed out to where she saw the bus coming. She stood at the edge of the street. It stopped in front of her and she got on quickly. She looked at the people in front of her and contemplated who to sit wit h. She had played this game. Whoever you sat with determined the rest of your high school career. She saw a handsome dark haired man and walked over to him.
"I'm sitting here." She said, not very kindly.
"Hn. No, your not, actually." He said quietly.
Sakura rolled her eyes. "Why the hell not?"
"I sit with someone else, not you."
"Well fuck you then. Holy cow you're a teme." She turned away and sat down with a blonde. He smiled at her. "Certainly used some fancy words their, un."
"Did you just call me Hun, because I will fucking kill you. No joke."
He laughed. "Naw, I said UN. I say it with everything, un. I'm Deidara by the way. That asshole you talked to was Sasuke."
"Got it." She said, registering all the names. "How come you don't sit with anyone?"
"My best friend is on another bus." He said. "Plus, the guy I usually sit with forces himself on me, so I don't want to sit with him anyways."
They stopped. A boy with a swirly mask got on. "Deidara-senpai?"
"What Tobi?"
"Why have you moved away from me? Was Tobi a bad boy? Tobi thought he was a good boy. Tobi is a good boy."
"No, you're not a good boy actually."
The boy called Tobi began to weep. Sakura must have looked shocked because Deidara said, "He does this everyday," with an eye roll.
Sakura nodded and sat back in her seat. "What. A. Day. This. Will. Be."

15 minutes and quite a few unusual circumstances past from the time Sakura had gotten on the bus. She winced as the bus pulled past the gates that said the school's name. She held her duffel bag close to her. It had her clothes and a few other things.
The bus pulled into the bus loop and she saw that there were only two buses. She turned to Deidara to ask him, but he beat her to it.
"There are only about 30 people that go here. There are two classes. Upper and under classman." He explained. "I'm an Upper classman, and you are a underclassman."
Sakura nodded. "How are the dormitories arranged?"
"Well the school only has three wings, un. There are the dormitories, yeah, which are a two-floor building with girls on top and boys on bottom, and there are the classrooms. The classroom wing has about 15 rooms, un. They aren't all used though, at one time at least, un."
"What about the third wing?"
"Only the cafeteria is used on the ground floor, yeah. Oh, and the office, but that's it. We don't use the other three floors, un."
"Why not?"
"It had a fire awhile back. They never redid it, un."
"Oh." Sakura said, pausing to think. "Well, let's go."
"Oh, and by the way, yeah. Did you notice Sasuke never sat with anyone?"
Sakura's eyes widened. "Was he just blowing me off?"
Deidara laughed. "No. Naruto will show up, un. He will make some grand entrance."
Sakura rolled her eyes. "I hate guys like that."
"Normally, I do too, un. However, Naruto is hard not to like." He grinned. "It was nice meeting you, hun." He said, stepping off the bus.
"Yeah, you too, DD-kun." Sakura smiled as Deidara walked away towards his friend.
Suddenly a loud speaker turned on, it began talking very loudly. "Welcome back, students, for another semester. We will give you an hour to settle into your dormitories, as is the usual way on Mondays, and then you will proceed to your assigned homeroom. Upperclassman's homeroom this year will be Mr. Pein and the underclassman will be assigned to Mr. Sarutobi. Your one hour starts NOW!"
As if on cue the students began running towards the building. Sakura shrunk back as they thundered past. Suddenly a boy appeared beside her. He had wild blonde hair and piercing blue eyes. "I AM NARUTO UZUMAKI! YOU MUST BE SAKURA-CHAN. TSUNADE-BAA-CHAN SAID YOU WERE COMING. QUICK RUN TO THE DORMOTORIES SO YOU CAN GET A GOOD BED, SAKURA-CHAN!" He took her hand and led her around a corner where everyone else wasn't going.
"Where are we going?" Sakura screamed over the noise.
Naruto grinned. "Shortcut."
Sakura found herself grinning, then scowled. She ran up a flight of stairs with him and rounded another bend. "Here it is!" he shouted pointing. "Kurenai-sensei!" He shouted to the woman beside the dorms. "Sakura-chan is new. Get her a good bed."
Then he turned and saluted Sakura. "See ya around, Sakura-chan."
He ran down the flight of stairs to get to his own dorm. "That Naruto." Kurenai sighed softly. "Well, let's get you a bed."
Sakura nodded and stepped in the room. She gasped. She had been expecting it to be a very dreary place, in fact she had expected much worse than it was. As a matter of fact, it was quite beautiful. "Wow." She said, as she looked around. One wall was a window overlooking the campus, while the others were painted a periwinkle blue. The beds were twin beds lined along the opposite wall of the window. The beds had a white cover with a single, white pillow. Beside each one was a small cabinet for belongings and a light. Sakura turned and smiled at the woman. "I will take this one." She said pointing to one two down from the door.
"Good choice," Kurenai said. "This one is the best choice, in fact. It's far enough from the bathroom to not smell, but close enough to go. Close to the door, and it has the best view of the window. You will be happy. Start unpacking." She marked something on her paper and then turned to the girls running in now.
Sakura walked over to her bed and sat down on it. She put her clothes into the cabinet and her pillow on the bed. She crammed a few books in the cabinet as well, and put a picture of her favorite memory. It was one of her only good memories. It was on a beach with an old lady who had taken care of her for the longest period of time. She had been happy, but the woman had suffered a stroke. She had finished unpacking her things, so she slid her bag under the bed. She had grabbed her toothbrush and went to put it in the bathroom when a voice stopped her.
"You must be the new girl." A voice drawled. Sakura looked up to see a girl with red hair.
"You must be the school bitch." Sakura drawled, mimicking the girl. The girl straightened up.
"Um, excuse me?"
"I know your type. Bitchy, they think they own the world. Well let me tell you, I don't give a fuck to what you say."
The girl cursed and cracked her knuckles. "First of all, my name is Karin. I can kick your ass anywhere and make you run back to your mother."
"I don't have a mother." Sakura said coldly.
"Oh, little orphan girl?" Karin sneered.
"Your parents are about to lose a child." Sakura snarled.
"Oh, I'm shivering in my gorgeous boots." She faked a shiver. "Anyways, as I was saying. I can kick your ass and there some other things you should know. One, I choose every thing that happens here. Two, I control every one here, and three…Sasuke Uchiha is mine."
Sakura rolled her eyes. "One, you don't choose what happens to me. Two, you don't control me. And three? I don't care. You can have that teme. Got it?"
Karin rolled her eyes and flipped her long hair. "I'm finished for now. I will show you whose boss later."
"Chicken." Sakura glared after the girl. She went back to heading towards the bathroom when another girl stopped her. "For the love of-"
The girl tossed her long blonde hair. "That was pretty awesome, standing up to Kari-sama like that."
Sakura rolled her eyes. "Girls like that are all talk." Another girl appeared behind her; this one had brown hair rolled up into two buns.
"Yeah, Ino." She said. "Karin is a bitch, but you and I could take her."
Ino rolled her eyes. "Yeah, but we might, like, break a nail."
Sakura burst out laughing. "You actually say stuff like that?"
"She does." The girl with the buns said, shaking her head. "Oi, Hina-chan. Come talk to the new girl."
A petite little girl appeared behind the girl with the buns. "Tenten-san." She whispered.
"WHAT HINATA? I DIDN'T HEAR YOU!" A voice bellowed. Sakura turned around to see yet another girl behind her.
Where do they all come from? Sakura thought.
"Temari-sama!" Hinata squealed. The girl called Temari shared a grin with Tenten.
"Ten-chan, Tema-chan, and Hina-chan are all my, like, best friends." Ino said.
"Ino, I have told you not to call me that." Temari growled. Ino just laughed.
Tenten butted in. "What's your name, newcomer?"
"Haruno Sakura." She said.
"Tenten." She said softly.
"Temari." The loud blonde said.
Hinata smiled sweetly. "I am Hyuuga Hinata."
"And I am Yamanaka Ino."
Sakura nodded. "Now that we all know eachother-"
"We need to tell you about the ins and outs of this school." Temari said.
"Yeah," Tenten added. "We need to tell you who to stay away from, and who is nice. You know?"
Sakura nodded. "Give me the break down."
Ino smiled. "We will start with underclassman, because all of us are unders 'cept Tema-chan." Temari's eyes narrowed, but she carried on. "We are the only girls in the unders besides Karin. Then there are the guys. The ice cubes: Gaara, Sasuke and Neji-" She was cut off as the bell rang. "Oh shit!" She shouted and ran to her bed. She began throwing on her uniform. The other girls did the same.
They burst out of the room and ran down the halls desperate to get to homeroom. They sprinted down and Sakura tripped. "Dammit. Go on. I'll catch up."
The girls ran ahead and Sakura stood up slowly and limped to class. She cursed as the bell rang. She opened the door and walked in. All heads turned to look at her. She straightened her skirt and her white polo. She had bought a tie out of fun and it lay casually around her neck. Her pink hair was casual and down.
She slowly looked into the eyes of everyone in the room. "Well, I guess I'm late."
