"Regular speech"
'Inner thoughts' (sometimes sounds, like 'boom')
"Non-inner thoughts"
"Gah! I hate math class so much! Science and English were okay, but I hate math so much!" Sakura said, getting up from her seat.
"Hn. It's not like you're bad at it…" Sasuke replied, still sitting at his desk, staring out the window. Sakura and Sasuke sat right next to each other, and the funny thing was that they were in the seats they sat in before class.
"Are you saying you like all the classes we took, because obviously, you're saying that if you're not bad at a subject, you have no reason to hate it? And right now, I see that you're good at EVERY subject," Sakura exclaimed back angrily.
"Did I say that I liked the classes?" Sasuke said with a smirk. Sakura's eyes widened in realization.
"Sasuke never said he liked the classes, he just said I shouldn't HATE math class for any reason. Truthfully, I can still pass it. Heck, I'm even GOOD at it," Sakura thought.
"Fine, you win…this time," Sakura said. "Good-bye, Capitan Chicken Hair," Sakura said, mock bowing then saluting. She left the room grinning, with Sasuke standing up from his desk smirking.
'She's quite different.'
"Who the hell are you?"
'Why, dear, dear Sasuke-kun. I'm your inner self."
"What the hell?!"
'Hn. So idiotic. Sigh. Well, Sasu-chan, I'll talk to you later!'
"Hey! Get back here, dammit! Whatever, she's interesting."
"Sasuke-teme, she got you good!" Naruto exclaimed laughing, breaking Sasuke's train of thought. His laughter began to fade when he saw Sasuke smirking, again.
"What's so funny?" Naruto asked.
"I should be the one asking you," Sasuke replied. "C'mon, let's go. Everyone's already gone to lunch."
"Oi, teme! You know where to meet? And why mention lunch when we're not going to eat anyway?" Naruto yelled when Sasuke was at the door. Sasuke gave a nod before stuffing his hands in his pocket and heading outside. Naruto followed soon after, as everyone in the room began to walk out, chatting with friends.
"Hyuuga Hinata and Yamanaka Ino, right?" Sakura asked when she was behind two girls, one with dark purplish, blue, short hair and the other with long, blond hair in a ponytail. The two turned around.
"Oh, hi! Haruno Sakura, right?" Ino exclaimed. Sakura nodded.
"Why does Ino seem so familiar?" Sakura thought.
"Want to come eat lunch with us?" Sakura asked. The two nodded. They followed her to a cherry blossom tree near the school's entrance. They sat down and opened their bento boxes.
After a few bites of food, Sakura broke the silence. "So, did you guys know each other from before here?"
"Y-yes. W-we went to m-middle school t-together," Hinata answered, lowering her lavender eyes. Ino nodded.
"Do I know you from somewhere?" Ino asked Sakura. Sakura put her index finger on her chin and looked upwards.
"I guess I should tell her what happened in elementary. She seriously might be somebody I know."
'Hell yea! Even, I remember her, and I wasn't with you that much during your younger days. You were too shy! No mind whatsoever, therefore no room for me,' Inner Sakura said.
"What. Did. You. Say."
'Nevermind, just tell them what happened.'
So Sakura began, "I don't know, but I think I knew a girl named Ino in elementary. She saved me from all these bullies, because they used to make fun of my forehead…"
"Forehead girl?!" Ino exclaimed suddenly, blue eyes shining. Sakura's eyes widened.
"W-what!? Ino-pig?!" Sakura exclaimed after Ino. They squealed and hugged each other.
"I thought I wouldn't see you again, Ino-pig!" Sakura said. "I didn't think I would see you either. I knew that pink hair was familiar." The two laughed before turning to Hinata. "Sorry, we just were surprised a bit and had a…moment," Sakura said apologizing, since the two ignored Hinata for a while. Hinata didn't seem to mind and nodded. They continued to eat their lunches, with Ino sharing about how she met Hinata when she moved. Apparently, Ino and Sakura used to be best friends, but Ino had to move after her last year of elementary school. Ino met Hinata in her new school , and like what happened with Sakura, helped Hinata stand up for herself a bit.
"Ino-pig, it seems you're quite the type who likes to help!" Sakura said, laughing.
"You, too, forehead girl! So you want to be a doctor. I knew you'd go down that path," Ino said, laughing as well.
"Look! There's Sakura-chan! Who's she with? Wow, that girl with short hair is really pretty," Naruto said, pointing at the tree the girls were seated under. Sure enough, Sakura was sitting there with two other girls.
"The troublesome blonde is not that bad, I suppose."
"Let's go over to them!" Naruto said.
"Hn," Sasuke said…more like uttered the famous, two-lettered-yes-or-no-Uchiha-line.
"This is so troublesome…" Still, Sasuke and Shikamaru followed Naruto to the girls, but couldn't reach them…
"There she is!" Ino heard a girl shout. The three turned to the direction from where it was coming from, and in an instant, a group of girls were around Sakura, Ino, and Hinata, but they were focusing on Sakura.
"You," a girl with long, light brown hair said, "get away from Sasuke-kun. You don't deserve to sit next to him in class. You can't be friends with him either. I, Mitsuki, as president of the Sasuke Fanclub, says so. And I won't let you join!" Mitsuki shot Sakura a glare with her hazel eyes that could have killed, if looks could kill, that is.
"That girl's eyes could be pretty if she wasn't glaring at me!" Sakura thought.
"Ah! What the hell! Is it illegal to be Sasuke-kun's friend!" Sakura screamed.
"Yes, because only WE are allowed to adore him. You have to be part of the fanclub, because otherwise, he'll keep neglecting us!" Mitsuki, screamed back. Fangirls behind screamed in agreement. "You're a big threat!"
"What the hell?! Sakura-chan's has fanboys!" Naruto asked, seeing a hoard of boys running towards Sakura and the screaming fangirls.
"Iie. I thought that fangirls were enough. Now that she's friends with us, fanboys are also gonna attack. This is so troublesome…" Shikamaru said, sighing. "What're we gonna do?"
"Fight them of for her?" Naruto suggested.
"Of course! You guys having trouble. I think we can help!" a girl's voice said. Shikamaru, Sasuke, and Naruto whipped around to face the girl. She had brown hair in buns and next to her was a boy.
"I'm Tenten, and this is Hyuuga Neji. We can see the problem you're having, and we might be able to help," the girl said.
"Why, would you just go and help some random person," Sasuke questioned, obviously suspicious. He narrowed his eyes and gave Neji the Uchiha death glare. Neji returned the glare with one of his own death glares. Tenten didn't seem to notice, though.
"Well, you see, Neji here needs to save his cousin, Hinata, the one with short hair, there. Both of us also need to get one of our friends, Rock Lee, who became a fanboy. You see, we got this project from one of the teachers, and we need his help," Tenten explained. Sasuke broke away from the glare Neji's lavender eyes directed at him and nodded. "Okay, so what's the plan?" Tenten grinned and her brown eyes shone mischievously and the five huddled together.
"Haruno, you need to back off," Mitsuki threatened.
"Or what? You'll punch me? As if! You wouldn't dare 'break a nail'," Sakura said, glaring back.
"Why, you-"
"What? Can't think of any-" Sakura started but was interrupted.
"Hinata-sama, so you were here. I have been looking for you. Come with me, you're father will be angry with me if you got in trouble."
"Neji-niisan! I'm sorry," Hinata said as she quickly packed her lunch. The Sasuke fangirls stopped and squealed. Apparently, they were Neji fangirls, too.
"Neji-kun! Go out with me!" Mitsuki said, ignoring Sakura. Sakura looked at Ino and shook her head. Ino tried to suppress a giggle, but failed. Good thing only Sakura noticed and grinned. Many other girls screamed for Neji. At that moment, Sasuke walked up to them.
"Hn. I knew it. You all like this Hyuuga better than me," Sasuke said, standing with his arms crossed.
"No! Of course not, Sasuke-kun," Mitsuki cried.
"No? So you DO like Uchiha better then me. How hurt I feel," Neji said, acting. As Mitsuki turned to Neji, Sasuke gave Sakura a smirk, and this time, it was Sakura trying not to laugh.
"So this is their plan," she thought. "I might as well not interrupt. I could use this time to escape!" Sakura packed her lunch and motioned for Ino to follow. Hinata left as she saw the two leave.
"No, no, Neji-kun! You two are…equal!" Mitsuki said.
"Equal? Only, equal. You fangirls are pathetic. You can only worship one person, and one person only," Sasuke and Neji both said, before walking off into the other direction, leaving the now troubled fangirls.
"That was genius! Tenten, genius!" Sakura exclaimed, laughing. Tenten grinned, Naruto laughed, Ino giggled, Hinata smiled, and Shikamaru, Sasuke, and Neji smirked after Tenten, the mastermind of the plan, introduced herself. Sakura turned to Sasuke and Neji. "And I never thought you two could be such good actors, seeing that you two are usually so quiet."
"Hn. You never asked," Sasuke said. Sakura smiled.
"I still can't believe that you all did that to save us. Thanks!"
"No problem. By the way, did you guys see the fanboys?" Tenten asked.
"Ran off," Neji and Sasuke answered. "What about Lee?" Tenten asked again.
"He probably went back to the classroom. For some reason, I think the fanboys are afraid of the fangirls. Since the fangirls do seem more forceful," Neji said. Tenten nodded.
"Well, see you guys around. How about we meet back at that tree tomorrow. If you ever need us you can come to our class, 2-1!" Tenten said, waving good-bye as she and Neji walked back into the school. " I guess we should get back to class, too," Sakura said. The five walked back to class 1-3 and took their seats.
Their next period was history, with Kakashi-sensei. He wrote on the board, as everyone copied notes.
"Now, after you finish copying your notes, read pages 234-238 in your textbook. It's on ninjas and how they used chakra. Some weapons are mentioned too. If you need any help, come up to my desk," Kakashi said before going back to his orange book. Everyone did their work silently, and when the bell rang, students wrote and packed their homework before running to the gym. Gym class.
"Oh joy!" Sakura thought sarcastically.
Next Chapter Preview: Dodgeball, Volleyball, Basketball! I Can Play it All!
"How'd you like you're run? Now let's play some dodgeball, first. Get ready! Your teammates will be 5 people in your class for volleyball and basketball, since each class has 18 people, there will be three groups for every class. That will mean there are 18 teams. But for dodgeball, your team will be your class. This will be done tournament style, and the gym will be split in half, with two teams playing at a time. One team will verse another. When I say stop, the team with the most people left on it will be the winner!" the gym teacher, Gai-sensei said. "Hai!"
"Also, after this, it's volleyball in tournament style, too. The gym will have two sides, with two games playing at a time. I will assign teams when it's time. Then it's basketball with one game at a time! Got it?!"
"Hai!"
"This is going to be a LONG gym period," Sakura thought.
'Tell me about it,' Inner Sakura said. Sakura sighed. "Oh, well. We'll give it our all, ne?" Sakura asked her inner self. 'Hell yea!'
