Yay! New chapter!
Sorry it's taking so long to update-man, school is stressful. Well, it's here now! Enjoy!
Sakura picked up her books, trying to shield her burning face with her Bio notebook. The jerk stared down at her. "Are you trying to trip me?" he asked. Sakura ignored him, reaching for her pink fuzzy pen. Sasuke stepped on the pen, letting it roll under his gray Converse. She grabbed for it desperately, only to fail. Sasuke smirked down at her smugly. She could hear Karin's loud cackle and Ami's snorts. "Hey, look, it's Mommy's girl getting all dirty!" giggled Ino. She could also hear Hinata and Tenten laughing. She could hear the crowd surrounding her and Sasuke. It was like a gladiator battle-two people fighting to the death. And it was obvious Sakura was losing. "That's payback, Forehead," sniggered Sasuke unkindly. He kicked her pen to a row of dreary grey lockers. She crawled through the crowd. Whilst reaching for her pen, she heard someone giggle behind her. She felt slender fingers playing with her skirt, and she turned around to see who it was. She saw Ino, who had whipped up her skirt. "Ooooh, look at her underwear!" shrieked Karin. Ino grinned. Everyone else was laughing. Sakura just about died of embarassment. She was wearing...oh god. The underwear that matched with her cardie. The one with dancing teddies on it. Oh god. She stood up, and ran as fast as her clumpy, poo-coloured shoes would take her. She locked herself in an unoccupied bathroom stall. Her tears ran down her cheeks in rivers. Her cardie turned a shade darker. She tried to cry quietly, but sobbed loudly despite her efforts. "Sakura!" Who's that? It's a...male voice. "Sakura! I know you're in there!" Not Sasuke. Not anyone in her class. She unlocked the stall and peeked out nervously. "Sakura! Are you all right?" asked her older brother. Gaara awkwardly placed his hand on her shoulder. She sobbed again, tears falling on Gaara's red t-shirt. "Um...it's okay," He patted her shoulder, unsure of how to comfort crying girls. "You know, don't you?" Sakura said through her tears. Gaara nodded. "Yeah, I heard. Maybe it's not such a good idea to wear teddy underwear to school," He tried to smile. Sakura just sobbed harder. Gaara said. "Um. I'm skipping History, so I'd...better go. You should go too," Gaara waved bye and bolted out of the girl's bathroom. Sakura picked up her schoolbag and rinsed her face. "It's okay. They've probably forgotten anyways," She said to her reflection. She smoothed her pink bangs over her forehead. She walked slowly to her next class. Right before she went in, she took a deep breath, and pushed the door open. Everyone burst into laughter. "Hey, Forehead, you're still here?" called a boy in the back. Sakura ignored their jeers and cackles and sank into the only free seat, next to the hyper blonde boy called Naruto. "Now, now. Settle down," said the teacher. The board read 'Ebisu-sensei'. The teacher's eyes were hidden by round, black glasses. Ebisu walked out of the class to get new textbooks. "Hey, your name is Sakura, right?" asked Naruto loudly. Sakura nodded. "Hi. I'm Naruto Uzumaki," Naruto grinned. Sakura sighed, relieved. She stuck out her hand. "Sakura Haruno," Naruto shook it enthusiastically. "I'm sorry people are giving you such a hard time. KHS is not that bad, really,"
"I hope so," replied Sakura. "Can I see your cellphone?" Naruto nodded, and tossed her his cellphone. She held it in the light, not believing what she was seeing. "Wow! Is this the D145 model?" He nodded.
"Um, yeah. Why?" Sakura stared at the phone in awe. The phone was sleek and black. It was one of the most expensive phones in the market. She shakily entered the number of her own crappy phone and saved it in his contacts. She gave him back his phone. He grinned, and tossed it into his bag carelessly. "Thanks, Sakura," Sakura saw Ino strutting to Naruto's table. "Hey, Naruto, why are you sitting with her?" asked Ino. Ino tossed her shiny blonde hair. Naruto shrugged. "Ino, she's kinda nice," said Naruto. Sakura felt affection for the hyper guy. "Naruto, you can sit with us," Ino pointed at another table. There was Sasuke, slouching against the wall. Karin was filing her nails while batting her eyelashes at Sasuke. Ami was laughing like a hyena. Tenten was texting, eyes glued to her cellphone screen. A boy called Shikamaru was rocking his chair, and another boy named Kiba was flirting with Hinata. Naruto nodded. He picked up his bag. Sakura watched the only person that was nice to her leave. Great. Naruto turned around. "Hey, Sakura, didn't you hear? We're moving over there to sit with Ino," Sakura smiled and picked up her bag. Ino pushed Ami to make space for Naruto. She was smiling triumphiantly. Her grin faded when she saw Sakura. "Forehead, are you deaf and blind?" Sakura shook her head, confused. "Number one. I asked Naruto to sit with us, not you. Number two, there's ah-bviously no space left. So shoo," Ino waved her manicured hand in Sakura's face. "C'mon, Ino, let her sit with us," protested Naruto. Karin stood up abruptly. "No! Losers," she said, eyeing Sakura, "can't sit here,". Hinata shrugged. "I don't mind," she said.
"If it'll stop her bugging us," sighed Tenten. Shikamaru shook his head. "What a drag," Kiba shrugged as well. "New to the team, eh?"
Ami shrieked in protest. "No! She's not new to the team! She doesn't belong on the team!" yelled Ami. Ino was about to nod in agreement. But it was too late. Sakura already sat down next to Tenten. Ino sighed, and sat next to Shikamaru. "Silence!" yelled Ebisu, walking in the classroom carrying a pile of textbooks. "Now!"
