Hey guys! I want to thank you allllllll who reviewed!!!! That is awesome! Please keep reading and reviewing! I'm so glad you guys like it.
Now last chapter I didn't really specify anything, so I guess I'll do it now.
The italics was the past when Sakura first met Sasuke, the normal text was her talking about it in the present. Hopefully you all figured this out ;). You little smarty butts.
***but now the italics is for someone on the other line of the phone, sorry for the confusion.
OK, time for the DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN NARUTO.

Chapter 1
First move
------------------------------------------------------------------
It's unfair. It really is.
You see, I'm 16, a junior in high school and L-O-V-E-D my high school in Suna. I have some of my BEST friends there. But now, sadly, this has all been destroyed.
Because my dear, sweet, loving, I'm-only-doing-what's-best-for-you parents suggested (more like forced) me to return to Konoha, the town I grew up in. Why? Simple. The schools here are "better", and I have more "connections" or something.
Yea, I pretty sure my parents have really no other reason to send me here but to PISS ME OFF and have a little alone time with each other.
I stare out the car window and look at the lovely not-so-little-mansions that lace the street we were currently on, waiting for the vehicle to come to a stop.
"We're here, Miss Haruno." I turn to my driver, Takahashi, and deliver an icy glare. Well, the best one I can give anyway.
"Takahashi, what was it that I told you this morning?" I say in a sickly sweet voice. Oh yeah, I feel the waves of fear radiating from him.
"Um….uh….Haruno?"
"Not quite."
"Miss Sakura?"
"Getting warmer…"
"…Sakura?" I give him a large smile.
"There we go, all better!" I jump out of the car and stare at the house. Wow, pretty big considering that I have it all to my self. Well, sorta. Where is my-
"Hello there, Sakura. I'm your caretaker, Tsunade. I am also going to be the Principle, to your new school, Konoha High."
There she is. WAIT, WHAT?! SHE'S MY PRINCIPLE TOO?!
THAT, LIKE, DEFINES LIVING HELL FOR ME. She knows everything about me…everything in those files of hers…Everything. I feel like I'm being watched…or stalked.
When I looked up I saw her glaring at me intensely. Oops, did I say that out loud? Hehehehe…
"Why don't you come in while tell you about everything that's going on."
The front of the 2-story house was covered with bushels of flowers, more than I would like actually. Too much green. I'm used to the desert landscape, but whatever. As we entered the mansion the inside had a classic modern style to it. (I know, I know, classic modern? Aren't those words an oxymoron? Just roll with me here, ok?)
We entered the kitchen, which was modestly sized. I sat down in one of the intricately designed wooden chairs and grabbed an apple from the center of the table.
"Sakura Haruno. Grade 11, Junior. Attending Konoha high for the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th quarter, transferred from Suna High after the 1st quarter. Well, I'm glad to have you. Welcome to Konoha." Tsunade took a simple piece of paper and handed to me.
"That is your class schedule. Now I know your new here, but I happen to know some kids in the neighborhood who also attend the school, so I want you to meet them in advance. You will be attending school tomorrow at 8:00 am sharp, I have picked up your uniform and-"
BANG, BANG, BANG.
Well, that woke me up. Anyone ever heard of a DOORBELL?!
Tsunade looked livid, she stomped out of the room and promptly yelled out to the idiot formally mentioned at the door,
"NARUTO. EVER HEARD OF A DOORBELL?!"
WHOA. She's a mind reader too?! It's obvious that SOMEBODY up in the great beyond dislikes me very, very much.
"HEY, GRANDMA! WHERE'S THE NEW GIRL I-"
BONK!
"OWW, THAT HURT! WHY DID YOU-"
BONK!
"FOR THE LOVE OF-"
Can this guy just SHUT UP?!
"Naruto, please. CAN YOU JUST SHUT UP?!" A different, more feminine voice shouted this time.
Holy shit. First excuse I get I'm out of here. There are TWO mind readers here.
I heard Tsunade cough and compose herself,
"So if you all will follow me, please." Tsunade entered the room with a girl and a boy. Both equally overly happy and smiling energetically. Huh, what a coincidence, both are blonde and have blue eyes.
Weird…I must say.
The blonde girl jumped up to me first,
"Hello! I'm Ino Yamananka! My family has the Yamanaka clothes line and the flower shops. If you need fashion advice, girl talk, some dirt, gossip, or -"
"She gets it, Ino." The blonde boy interrupted pouting grumpily.
"Hmp, whatever. Just absolutely ANYTHING! Hit me up!" She delivered a wink. Hahaha, funny girl. I see a beautiful friendship forming. I smiled back at her as we exchanged phone numbers.
"Whatever, Whatever. I AM NARUTO UZAMAKI! I will be your best friend!!" Naruto delivered a contagious smile afterwards. Seriously, those smiles are contagious. Hmmmm….isn't he the Hokage's son?
Ino let out a snort.
"People only keep him around for comic relief." At this Ino and I started laughing at the now sulky Naruto.
"I'm Sakura Haruno. I just moved from Suna. You guys better be in my classes, cause I have no clue whatsoever about what I'm supposed to be doing." I finished with the smile.
Yeah, the smile.
…
…You're just jealous cause you don't have THE SMILE.
However, this nice little introduction was interrupted by the phone ringing. I walked over and picked up the phone.
"Hello? Haruno residence."
"OHHHH YOU DID MOVE BACK! You have no idea how happy I am! You must come over so I can see how you are doing and-" Um…… who is this lady? Another creeper on my back?
"Um… Excuse me…Who is this?" Well, at least I TRIED to be polite. It's the effort that counts anyway right?
"Oh dear. How can I expect you to remember silly old me? Hahaha. Sweetie, it's Mikoto. Remember? Mikoto Uchiha?"
I sure as hell remember! Uchiha…the very curse of my existence. Ugh.
ALRIGHT, be polite. Be niceeeee. They own a company with your parents.
"Oh right! How nice to hear from you again!" Not.
"You must come over this very instant! I must see how you've grown! My family and I live across the street!"
WHAT?! ACROSS THE STREET!?
"BUH-BYE. Come over in 5 minutes!" And the line went dead.
Ok, first things first. Let's do this in sequential order.
1.) I JUST got here, about 30 minutes ago.
2.) When I met the Uchihas, I barely even talked to Mikoto, so why does she want me there?
3.) Ugh. Uchiha. I HOLD GRUDGES OK?! He (I shall never ever speak his name, it makes it makes it easier to pretend he doesn't exist) never said "sorry" for the Jenga disaster. Not a hard word to say in my opinion. Geez.
4.) The very idea that the rest of the family lives there is killing me. I mean COME ON. RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET?!
OH I AM SOOOOOOOO IN A LIVING HELL. What have I done to deserve this?
-------------------------------------------------------
