Disclaimer: I don not own Naruto.

Arrived at the class after the long run, I must have looked like a sweating pink mess. Not only my clothes were dirty and wrinkled, I probably smelt after the running! And I didn't even have time to fix my hair either! I know I used to look like an average chick with the score of 6. But, now, with this new first impression, I would definitely be labeled in the ugly, thrown away category with the number less than 0 on my forehead!

'Why's bother with what others think about you?' Inner asked idly. "You are always ugly, no matter how you try to hide it, anyway.'

…Yeah. I sighed inwardly. Not like my attempt in fixing my hair and not sweating would help me become prettier like Ino. It's my fate to always be the average and insignificant person.

Calming down, I glanced around the room in order to find an empty space. My classmates had already separated and formed groups with each others. It's either a three persons group to five or six persons. They all looked content with their new friends and it seems there was no opening for another to squeeze in.

It's just my luck to have separate class from all my friends in junior school. Now, not only I looked liked a loser, I felt just the same with my new rank.

'Lone loser has a nice ring, ne?' Inner sneered.

But I didn't reply because my eyes just caught sight of a dark haired girl, who would be my hero of my terrible day. She was sitting alone, with an empty seat next to her! It seemed the God of luck had finally had pity on me!

"You'd better give up the idea." This voice… definitely was not my Inner. Glancing back, I saw a tan girl with her brown hair pulled up into two buns sat in the seat next to my spot. The new girl whispered to me. "That girl might look and act cute, but she was infamous in my junior high school. The guys calls her Hime- sama but you know what girls said about her?"

I shook my head while Inner spat a 'Duh' inwardly.

Tenten said, rather too loud in my opinion when you wanted to talk back behind one's back. "They said she snatched other girls' boyfriends. Horrible, no?"

Inner whistled while I looked back at the dark haired girl. From what I see, she appeared hardly the part like what the new girl just told me.

"By the way, my name is Tenten." The brunette smiled at me. "You wanna share the chair with me?"

I stared cooly at the raven haired girl before glancing at Tenen.

"You see, my legs are pretty big so I don't think I can fit in that spot. I used to be in crickets. though I should have listen to Pig and join Tennis club..." I smiled sheepishly. "Er, anyway, thanks for the offer. See ya around."

I nodded at Tenten, who was looking dumbstruck and confused. She probably couldn't understand what I was babbling about and I hardly cared about that. She was nice to me but I disliked one who judged others, especially when their opinion was based on social rumors.

Finding a spare chair outside the classroom, I stalked toward the dark haired girl and nervously said. "Excuse me. Could I sit next to ya?"

I had to suppress a surprised gasp when the long haired girl looked up at me. She looked just like a doll!

The pretty girl stared at me then said. "Y-You should leave. I-I will steal your boyfriend, you know?"

Wow.

'I like this bitch.' Inner smirked.

Rare as it was, I agreed with Inner in this matter and let out a heartily laugh at the trying- to- stay- serious- face girl. It's mean to say but this girl just didn't have it in her to be a mean, bitchy person liked Ino. I giggled. "Nah. I don't mind at all. It's not like I have one-"

'Hello? The pervert this morning?'

I continued, now looked seriously. "No. Actually, you will do me a favor if you have him. I gladly offer him to you!"

Hime Sama (I didn't know her name so I called her what Tenten told me) looked super suprised and I understood her shock. Now, that I previewed the whole situation, I must be thought as a weirdo. What kind of girl like her boyfriend being stolen?

'You are weird from the start.'

Yeah. Just the fact that I'm talking to myself is enough. I smiled, breaking the awkward silence by asking if my hair looked weird, the only thing I could mutter up when being nervous. Hime Sama blinked, diverted her eyes to scan me then replied with a quieter voice, though still audible to me. "Yes. Your hair looks very messy."

I felt kind of down and embarrassing. To be said looking messy by a pretty girl was not a proud thing at all, exclude from Ino of course. I had been immune to that Pig's insults anyway. Still, how stupid I am to mess up at the first lines with Hime Sama. Just then, I noticed Hime Sama had rose up, leaned closer and was running her fingers through my hairs, probably to fix it.

Ba-dum!

Closed up, I realized just how beautiful this girl was. She had a heart shaped face, smooth skin, rosy lips and pretty silver eyes. And whoa, her eyelashes were super long! I usually am hard in ranking one as good- looking, especially with female because my best friend was a magazine model. However, I had to admit this girl was stunning, even enough to rival with Ino!

"W-What's wrong?" She must have noticed my blushing face.

"I, well," I admitted. "It's just that with you so closed, I suddenly get rather flutter."

Hime Sama widened her eyes before muttering while ducking her head something similar to "You are strange" phase. I lowered my head and she swirled to the right. I rose to the right she turned to the left. Pretending to starting rising for the left, I caught the girl off guard when I suddenly lowered my head instead, laughing when her blush increased ten fold at the moment my curious eyes caught hers.

"Sorry, sorry." I only stopped my maniac acts when she was in the verge of tears. What the… She was totally nice!

Though I didn't doubt what Tenten said earlier because the girl had looked very sincerely, I found her speech contradicted with what I found. Hime Sama was anything but horrible! Even as a girl, I really found her adorable. Somehow, I got a feeling that 'those other girls' boyfriends' weren't being snatched or stolen by this girl. I bet they would even jump off a cliff if doing so can have Hime Sama fell for them!

"I-I'm Hinata Hyuuga. You can call me Hinata, um, that's if you want." The pretty girl stammered, playing with her fingers.

"Sakura Haruno's here for Hime Sama!" I grinned, awed inwardly at how even in fluttery, one could be this cute.

'How wide is the difference…' Inner sighed mockingly.

The loudspeaker interrupted our talk with the order for all students to gather at the school's hall. This was a tradition of the school, I realized, because the seniors and juniors passed by us on the way was grumbling about the trouble of hearing lengthy and boring speech in ceremony every year.

"Forehead!" It's Ino, I'm sure abou that without looking. No one calls me by that hideous nickname but her. Ino caught up quickly from her line, ignoring her new friends and walked beside me. "Why didn't you pick me up this morning? I'm nearly late for school, you bitch!"

` "That would teach you a lesson to pigging out on yesterday, instead of preparing." I smiled fakedly and stopped her before she started her usual rants on boyfriends and mailing strengthened one's relationship by introducing her to Hime Sama. "Hinata, meet the pig next door from my house, Ino Yamanaka. Pig, be nice to my new friend, yeah?"

Ino didn't react to my insult immediately but took her time to check Hime out. This was a habit of my blond friend. She tended to use the stare she was using now to judge if one's worthy being with her. Don't get me wrong! Though I she's mean and super cruel to me, Ino was anything but bitchy to others around her. In fact, she was the type that others girl liked to ask for tips of fashion or just to confess troubles in relationship. Ino was anything but me!

However, liked me, who was helpless in front of weak creature, Ino got a huge thing for beauty.

She goes nuts for beautiful things. From her clothes, personal objects to the people she hangs out with, they all had to be pretty, above average standard. And to satisfy her starve for beauty, Ino went from the length of becoming the money- eating machine imn buying clothes(she's lucky her family is rich) to the length of anexoria. Though, the girl did get over the deadly diseases, her obsession still remained firmly. I guessed the traits just runs in her family as her parents also got a things for pretty stuffs, just not to her extend.

"You pass!" Almost jumping off my feet from the loud voice, I glared at Ino, who was fawning all over poor Hinata, who looked liked she was going to faint from the deadly air shattering hug of the stranger. The blond squealed, paid no attention that her new pretty friend was being suffocated to the verge of death. "Oh my goodness! You are just so cute, Hinata Chan! I swear you are the most adorable girl I've ever seen!"

Heaving a sigh, I ripped Ino off the poor purple faced girl. "If so, please don't kill her, Pig. Honestly, do you know with that much fat, you can murder a person?"

"I'm not fat!" Ino spat back defensively then sneered. "I feel sorry for your big forehead! With all that spare area, it can only contain a tiny, pea-sized brain!"

I gritted my teeth, flattered a strained smile on my face. "Isn't your shirt look tight today? Has your weight gone up again, fatto?"

"What's about your forehead? Did you apply sun cream to it? Because it's blinding my eyes, bitch!" Ino replied with just as much amount of polite.

The conversation you've just heard was what the two of us had always had from the age of ten. Not on the best term daily, but definetely got each other' back when trouble arises. It's just how our friendship works, I guess.

The two of us glared venomly at each others before each huffed and Ino went back to pestering the shy Hinata. The three of us continued our jog along the hall and I couldn't help but noticed that every guys' eyes and even girls' were on our group.

Sorry, my mistake. Those eyes were actually on Ino and Hinata. I doubted they even realized there was a third party in the heavenly scene at all. Glancing at the chattering Ino and a nervous Hinata, I almost sighed in despair. The pair stood out liked delicious cakes in a basket of green, foul foods.

I stood no chance at all, when walking next to them now. And I had hoped I would have a boyfriend in high school.

Suddenly, the face of that blond guy popped up to my head. What the? I chuckled ackwardly inwardly. What was I thinking? I probably wouldn't meet him ever again! I meant, though we did go in the same school, this campus is huge! Plus, being beside Ino and Hinata is liked being invisible. I doubted he can spot me out at all.

A hand suddenly yanked at my shoulder and before I could understand what's going on, a voice had said aloud.

"Teme. This girl …is my girlfriend. Meet my sweet honey!"

Huh?

What the hell!

A/N: It's not that hard to know who is holding Sakura and who is Teme, right? Hope you enjoy the chapter. It's quite boring but I was doing the character introducing here so it can't be helped.

Ok. See you till the next chapter.
