Chapter 1 -

It was a beautiful Monday morning the first day of school for everyone!

"YES! YES! YES! First of high school baby! Can't wait to get to school!" Sakura exclaimed, dancing around her room.

Yes this was Sakura's first day of High School! She was in with the big dogs now! And the best part about was she felt confident that she would find the guy of her dreams this year! She didn't know why, how, or who, but she knew she definitely was this year!

Sakura went to her mirror and viewed how she looked in her uniform looked on her which was, a black skirt that stopped half up her thigh, and a white collared shirt. She also wore black tights and black clogs.

"Nnn... I don't like wearing uniforms... But I guess that's just how it is...!"

She smiled to herself as she put her short pink hair in a ponytail, her banges parted to the sides.

"Sakura! It's time for you to get going!!"

"I know mom! I was just coming down!"

Sakura grabbed her bag and dashed out of the room. As she ran downstairs...

*FLASH!*

"AH! Mom! No pictures!" Sakura exclaimed, looking over at her.

"Oh come on Sakura! It's your first day of HS!" Sakura's mom protested.

"Moomm!"

"Alright, just one more and then you can go! Smile!"

Sakura half smiled.

*FLASH!*

"AHH! Bright light!"

"Sakura! It seems like it was just yesterday I was changing your diaper! Now look at you my baby is all grown up and going to high school!"

Mrs. Haruno hugged Sakura tightly, so tightly that she could barely breath.

"MOM! CAN'T BREATH! GOIN' BE LATE!"

"Oh right! I'm sorry!" she said, releasing her daughter from her strong grip.

Now Sakura could see where she got most of her strength from!

"See ya mom!"

Sakura headed out the door, Mrs. Haruno stood in the doorway.

"Well you have a nice day! Make new friends! But don't forget Naruto and Hinata!"

"Alright!"

"Bye Sakura!"

She waved.

"Bye!!" Sakura called back, as she looked back and waved.

And so Sakura was on her way to the NAH! (Ninja Academy High) Butterflies filled her stomach with each step she took, she had waited for this day her whole life and yet she was freakin' nervous! She wished that a certain someone was going to the same school she was, but he moved away 2 years back.

"Huh... Just need to come down!" Sakura said to herself. "Remain calm..."

"HEY SAKURA!" called a voice.

Sakura stopped and looked over her shoulder. She smiled when she was saw it was her friend Naruto running up to her.

"Hey! Wass'up?!" he said obxiously.

"What do you think? I'm walking to school!" she answered.

"Well duh! So you ready to be in the big leagues?!"

Sakura looked at Naruto, he had a big grin on his face as normal. His uniform all messed up. His collar crooked, his shirt half done. And on his head was a band aid from some crazy accident she bet.

Naruto looked like he was ready! Well that was Naruto for her! Always ready to take on anything!"

"Yeah, I guess." she said.

"Alright! Now..."

He began to look around them as they continued to walk.

"Hmm? What are you looking for?"

"Oh nothing! Nothing at all!" Naruto lied, still peering around.

"Well it looks like your looking for something!" Sakura obsereved.

She paused.

"Oh! Your looking for Hinata aren't you?!"

"NO! NO! Wh, why would I be looking for her?!" Naruto exclaimed, blushing faintly.

"Cause you have a crush on her!"

"I do not!"

"You do too! You've had a crush on Hinata since we were all 5!" Sakura argued.

"Did nott!!!"

But it was true Naruto had been crushing on Hinata since they were both playing in the sandbox. He had always liked how she was shy, and how she blushed whenever she was with him. Hinata used to be shy, but gradually changed the more she was around Naruto. (She became more outgoing and loud!)

"Hey Naruto, Sakura!" called Hinata.

Sakura and Naruto looked up and saw Hinata coming towards them. Her long blue hair in a straight ponytail, bounced and swayed back and forth as she ran. Naruto looked at her dreamfully. His eyelids half closed and a goofy lovey - dovey smile spread across his face.

Hinata started to walk next to Naruto, she looked at him.

"Hey Naruto."

Naruto looked over at her the goofy expression still on his face.

"Huh...?"

"HUH! OH!"

Naruto himself on the cheek.

"Oh hi Hinata!" Naruto said, smiling.

"Hi Naruto!"

Sakura giggled softly as she watched Naruto and Hinata interact.

"So are you guys ready for high school?!" she asked.

"Yeah totally!" said Sakura. "But anyway, Hinata me and Naruto were just talking about you!"

"You were?" she asked.

"Yeah," Sakura said.

Naruto made a cut line with his hand through his throat, Hinata looked over at him.

"Um... My neck itches!"

Naruto began to scratch his neck as Sakura began to laugh.

"Huh? What? What's so funny? What did you two say about me?" Hinata asked, perplexed.

"Nothing bad! I assure you." said Sakura. "It's nothing Hinata! Really!"

Hinata shrugged.

"Whatever you say."

Naruto sighed with relief as he glared over at Sakura, Sakura just giggled

"Hey look! We're almost there!" exclaimed Hinata, pointing to the new rebuilt high school that was 2 feet away now.

Ninja Academy High was the only high school in Kohana, and recently it had to get some rebuilding for the fire that was caused last year. (It happened in the the jutsu class...)

"Wow they did a pretty good job on it!" said Naruto. "Yeah way better then it looked."

"Yeah... Hey you two race you there!"

Sakura began to run.

"Hey no fair Sakura!" called Naruto, chasing after her.

"Yeah wait up!" Hinata called, following after.

Sakura looked back and laughed a little.

"Your too slow!"

She looked in front of her again and saw she was about to run into someone. She tried to stop but,

*Crash!*

Sakura fell down, the person turned around.

"Huh?"

"Oh I'm sooo sorry! I didn't see you there... I!"

"Sa, Sakura?"

Sakura looked up.

"Oh...!"
