Chapter 2: Meeting new friends
Finding the school for Sakura wasn't difficult at all. Sure she was the first time here, but the building was so huge that stood out miles ago. Red crimson-colored bricks were unbelievable bright and hurt her sensitive eyes. High metal fence was surrounding the aria making the building look more like a prison then a school. The yard wasn't that big like she thought it would be, some big willow trees were growing there. Somehow it made Sakura a little calmer when she looked at their swaying branches.
"Yeah, yeah poetic and stuff. Move it!" Her Inner pain mocked waking Sakura from her thoughts. Glaring at some unexpected kids she took a deep breath trying to control herself.
"I'm not talking to you" Sakura hissed back. She never told anybody about the voice in her head because she knew what people would think about it. The mocks that Sakura got already have been enough.
"Don't be so grumpy! I just wanted to say hi!" Not even thinking about replying Sakura started heading for the entrance. For her relief not many kids have arrived yet so she freely headed for the principle's office. Taking a deep breath, she opened the wooden door with a shaky hand.
Inside the office it was warmer that Sakura have expected. The office was quit small but very nice and brightly decorated. Some plans were everywhere making the room look more egzotic. There were a few desks that were almost braking from large piles of papers and other stuff. Looking a little closer Sakura spotted a person behind one of those desks, gulping visible she made her way to her.
"Hello, Tsunade sama is not here right now, may I help you?" The raven haired woman looked up, her smile made Sakura relax instantly.
"I'm new here…" She began nervously, giving the woman her best smile.
"Oh, of course! What's your name?" The woman nodded, looking through the papers.
"Haruno Sakura" she answered at once smiling a little to herself, when the woman started digging faster through the pile. After a vile Sakura had her schedule and was heading to her first class.
"English with Kakashi…" She muttered to herself looking everywhere for the room. The hall seemed endless, and Sakura once again was out of luck. Roaming a vile she found herself lost in the enormous building.
"Way to go!" Inner Sakura screamed, sarcasm dripping from her every word. Rolling her eyes, Sakura was about to take another turn when her eyes caught something strange. Turning around instantly she caught a glimpse of red and froze immediately trying to locate it again. Her eyes scanned the hall, but it was gone. The previous night dream occupied her thoughts. The red head boy appearing in her mind, her heart skipped a beat when she realized it was the same shade of red. The same shade of his hair. Could it be possible?
"Hey! Are you going to stand there all day?" A loud voice came from behind and Sakura almost jumped from the volume. Looking at the person shyly she stepped out letting him go first.
"Are you new or something?" The boys sapphire eyes eyed her own emerald ones. Nodding silently she looked more closely at the boy. He had bright, spiky blonde hair that really suited him. His blue, sapphire eyes looked very friendly and he had three marks resembling whiskers on each of his cheek. What came next really surprised Sakura. The boy grinned widely and shook Sakura's hand.
"I'm Uzumaki Naruto! Believe it! Nice to meet you…?" Sakura smiled nervously.
"I'm Sakura, nice to meet you too" Naruto grinned ever wider and looked at her schedule.
"Eh., eh Sakura chan, we have English together!" He announced happily making Sakura go wide eyed.
"Really?" She asked raising her eyebrows. Naruto nodded happily and started leading the way.
Sakura learn a lot about Naruto in those few moments they were walking together, something told her that they were going to be great friends. Overcoming his loud personality he was really friendly and nice. In those minutes he made her laugh so much that her stomach hurt when they finally reached their class.
The classroom was small. Really small. The teacher wasn't there yet, something odd for Sakura, but others didn't seem to notice. Looking for an empty seat she made her way to the back, where were a few empty ones. It was harder for her new classmates to stare at her when she was in the back but they still managed to do that somehow. Some girl with crimson hair even sneered at her. Sakura felt uncomfortable under her gaze and looked at her desk blushing when suddenly the door opened revealing a silver haired man with a mask on his face.
"Yo." Was his short greeting before he made his way in the classroom. Looking around the class his gaze landed on the pink head girl.
"Oh, you're new right?" Sakura nodded blushing, when everybody's attention landed on her again. She was more then grateful when he didn't make her stand in front of the class and introduce herself.
Kakashi seemed an interesting teacher. He wasn't talking much, or even looking at the class. After telling something about an essay he made his way to his desk and started reading some book. Soon Sakura felt the uncomfortable stares on her again. Some of them even asked her questions and introduced themselves. Some of them were very friendly while others just glared at her or ignored her. Not that she was complaining.
When the bell finally rang, Naruto and a girl with two buns on her head that Sakura knew by the name TenTen popped by Sakura's side.
"So Sakura chan, what classes do you have next?" Naruto asked grabbing her schedule, the brunette by his side smirked at Sakura's angered expression.
"Don't pay attention to Naruto, he's always like this…" She said smiling sweetly to the pink head.
"Hey!" He yelled defensly. TenTen rolled her eyes, while Sakura giggled.
The rest of the morning past in the same fashion. Naruto was always arguing with someone, when Sakura was meeting new people. In French class she met a very shy girl. She had long, beautiful raven-blue hair and pearl white eyes. The girl was tiny, a few inches smaller then Sakura and had pale white skin. Sometimes she glanced at the pink head ant tried to make a conversation but was shuddering too much and Sakura could understand what she was trying to say. After a vile of trying Sakura found out that the girls name was Hinata. She was really nice and helped Sakura when she wasn't listening to the teacher.
In gym Sakura was surprised when she saw the teacher and his mini-me by the name Rock Lee. They were incredible similar to each other and scared the living shit out of Sakura. But her opinion changed really fast when she had the chance to meet him. Actually he wasn't that bad, on the contrary he was really sweet and made Sakura smile all the time.
So when the lunch finally came, Sakura was sitting in the end off the table talking with her silent friend. Looking around the room she spotted the red head girl from before, but this time she wasn't alone. Two girls sat by her side, one with blond blonde hair while the other had dark pink. When Sakura's gaze landed on the red head girl again, she saw the glare that was sent for her.
"What?" She snapped harshly when she felt the elbow in her ribs. Naruto looked at her seriously.
"Don't look at them" Sakura blinked confused.
"Why?" She asked stealing a glance at the interesting girls.
"They just bring trouble Sakura chan! See the blonde one?..." He pointed to the girl that was eating her lunch, not paying any attention to her surroundings. Sakura nodded. "…That's Ino. She's not that bad like the others but still a trouble maker. She is cruel and could do whatever to get her way" Sakura looked at the girl with raised eyebrows and a shocked look. Brining her gaze back to Naruto, who apparently wasn't done yet, she listened patiently.
"And the pink one is extremely dangerous. Once I saw her beat a guy twice bigger then her to a bloody pulp. She's one of the biggest bullies in this all school. Her name's Reina, try to avoid her as much as possible if you know what's good for you…" Sakura nodded with wide eyes.
"Cha! They don't scare me!"
"And the red head is Karin, she's a whimp when it comes to fighting, but has her own ways to deal with you…" Naruto whispered the last words and suddenly glared at someone behind Sakura's back. Shaky turning around Sakura came face to face with the three girls. Karin was glaring like always and Ino wasn't paying attention vile Reina was eyeing Sakura with interest. The pink head girl heard Naruto growl, when Reina smiled.
"Hello, my name is Reina. Nice to meet you" She said politely offering her hand to Sakura who gulped visibly. The red head girl sneered.
"Quit it Reina. Get to the point" Karin said crossing her hands and glaring now at the rest of the gang. Reina sighed heavily with annoyance.
"Like I was saying…" She turned her gaze to Sakura again and smiled brightly. "Would you like to hang on with us, not with these…" Her face showed disgust when she looked and the gang.
"No she doesn't, so bug off!" Naruto yelled bringing attention to himself. Reina and Ino glared at him.
"No one asked you leach" Ino spat out, while Reina looked at Sakura warmly.
"So?" She asked smiling again.
"I…" Sakura looked at the gang, trying to find the strength in her to say no. "I'm quite ok here…" Reina's smile dropped instantly. Karin laughed at her and started making her way out.
"Ok, if that's what you want…" Reina said disappointed, but a smile appeared on her face again. "Don't be sad when it's too late" And with that the three girls were gone.
Turning to the gang again, she was met by shocked expressions. Even Naruto looked a little shocked.
"What?" She asked carefully. Did she say something wrong?
"You said no and they didn't do anything to you…" Naruto choke out still wide eyed. Sakura stared to feel uncomfortable from all the stares. Glancing at the girls again, she was met by Reina's gaze. The girl smiled wildly showing her perfect teeth, before waving to the girl. Sakura felt Naruto go stiff.
"Something tells me it's going to be a long year…"
Yay! Sakura found more friends!
What's about the trio? They mean trouble!
I promise that in the next chapter Gaara and Shukaku will appear!
