"ALRIGHT! Everyone listen up and listen carefully!" The principle Tsunade shouted from the top of the steps of the school building.
"As you are all very well aware, you are about to go on your first trip away from school, with your classmates for a very long time. What you need to keep in mind is that you must contain your respect with yourself and gain some for your fellow classmates, if it isn't already there. The teachers that will be accompanying you on this trip are Kakashi and Maito Gai. Shizune here will do a quick check in at least once a week." She pointed to the lady next to her holding a stack of papers. Said lady did a quick wave.
"Once you get on the buses, the details of the trip will be given to you. Don't do anything you're not suppose too and-"
"When are we gonna leave Tsunade-baa-chan! You're killing me here!" Naruto screamed to his principle.
"Shut your mouth Uzumaki before I shut it for you!" Tsunade glared at him as he began to shake. "That will be all. As you see, there are five busses but only two will be used. One coach will be for you guys and Shizune and I will ride the smaller coach behind you. The other three busses don't concern you so don't ask me why they are there!" With that, she walked back into the school and the students began to talk once again.

Sakura looked up to see Ino heading her way. Thank Kami she thought as her best friend pranced toward her. Sakura also noticed that she had more than enough luggage.
"Good Kami, Ino-pig, what the hell did you bring, your house?" Sakura stared in disbelief at her female companion.
"Nope. Just the necessities." Ino looked around and saw Sakura taking out a notebook. "You actually brought your diary on this trip?" Ino asked disgusted.
"Yes, I did. I don't see the big deal with it."
"Why are you always writing in the stupid piece of crap?" Ino half yelled at Sakura.
"The same reason you shop more than you breathe." Sakura looked at her diary and a smile came across her face. She always thought of her diary as her other best friend for times when she felt that she couldn't talk to Ino. This was her seventh diary and she brought a new one just in case she finished her old one during her trip.
"Alright youth! Load the bus! Gather all of your youthful excitement and suitcases and make your way to your bus!" A voice shouted in the distance. With that being said, Sakura and Ino headed for the bus.

Sakura decided to sit next to the window on the bus. It was cool because she had a perfect view of the television and of the passing nature. She decided to sit in the middle section of the bus, knowing that all of the rowdy kids would go towards the back.
She could hear a few girls scream "Sasuke-kun sit next to me!" repeatedly. She kind of felt sorry for the guy. She knew him because of his reputation as the schools heartthrob, but that was about all. Sakura transferred to Konoha High during the second month of school in her sophomore year. She never actually saw his face until that moment earlier.
A boy walked onto the bus with a loud mouth blonde boy trailing him. He had onyx eyes that Sakura wouldn't mind staring at for eternity. She remembered his eyes from this morning. Though she thought he was gazing at her, she decided to look past him, just to be safe. He had a very, very nice toned body. He was wearing a pair of denim shorts that reached his angles and a navy blue shirt that had a symbol of the Uchiha fan on the back. He had two bangs in the front of his face while the rest of his hair was slicked back and poufy. It sort of reminded Sakura of a chickens butt. Regardless, he looked too gorgeous to be human. It was a wonder why he had so many fan girls. After staring at him, he decided to sit right in front of her.
Ino wanted to sit behind Sakura so she could chat with her other friends that were sitting in the back. After all, Ino happened to be head cheerleader which meant a lot of popularity. She thought she would be alone in her seat until her friend Hinata showed up!
"Hey Hinata! Come! Sit here." The shy girl did not try to turn down Sakura's offer. Sakura knew that Hinata had a crush on Naruto and deeming that Naruto was sitting directly in front her, she was sure Hinata wouldn't decline the seat invitation.
"Hey Sakura-chan. How are you doing tod-" Hinata was cut off abruptly.
"Hey Hinata! I didn't even see you there! Ah, Sakura-chan! I haven't seen you since you switched out of my class." Naruto yelled as he stood up on the seat. Sakura watched in amusement as her friend turned red. It was a wonder to her as to how Naruto could be so…dense.
"Shut it dobe and sit down." Sasuke pulled Naruto's leg out of the seat causing Naruto to slide down into his seat. Naruto looked at Sasuke and was about to verbally assault him the best way he knew how, when their teachers, Kakashi-sensei and Gai-sensei walked onto the bus.
As soon as the entire student body saw Kakashi avert his gaze towards them, they began to quiet down. The only person that would have thought to speak freely (and loudly) would have been Naruto. Fortunately, he was beyond fascinated with the lady bug on the floor… until Sasuke stepped on it.
"Teme! Why the hell did you step on Charl-"
"As you know, we are about to go to a campsite that is very far away from here." Kakashi said interrupting Naruto from lecturing Sasuke. "It is important that we go over a few safety rules. One, don't go wondering off because if you do, no one is going to put any effort to try and find you. Two, follow all rules of the camp instructor at all times. This means to be in your cabins at certain times and wake at the right hour."He stopped and was about to make his way to his seat, when he made a look as if he forgot a very important fact and stood firm once again. "So no one says that I didn't tell them, there will be NO food allowed aside from the meals you will be served. Candy is included." Kakashi was glaring daggers at Naruto when he stated his last line.
He was expecting Naruto to make some sort of smart remark. Instead, Naruto give him a nice grin and began to trace the patterns on the seat in front of him.
I'm going to have to keep an eye on that knuckle-head Kakashi thought.

Right after Kakashi gave out his lecture, Gai decided to 'reinforce' it by repeating it again. The only difference is that is used the word 'youth' or 'youthful' after every other word. Attendance was called and the bus took off.
After five minutes of doing nothing but staring out of the window, Sakura was beyond bored. Her Ipod was in her bag, which was in the compartment above her head. She had her shoulder bag with her, which consisted of her diary, a notebook, a fuzzy pen, a water bottle and her cell phone.
"Hey Hinata!" Hinata directed her attention to her friend. "Do you want to play tic-tac-toe?"
Hinata liked to play with Sakura no matter how silly the game was. On top of that she really wasn't doing anything important either. So, why decline?
"I'm 'x' this time." Hinata said as she pulled out a pen from her shoulder bag.
Their lovely games of tic-tac-toe (A/N: I like this game!) went on for about forty-five minutes until Sakura began to complain that Hinata looked sleepy. Hinata was a tad bit tired, but not enough to drift to dreamland.
"Hinata, why won't you go to sleep? You look exhausted all of a sudden?" Sakura looked at her best friend as worry filled her emerald eyes.
"I'm not tired. I am just a bit restless from sitting still for so long. This has happened before Sakura-chan. There is nothing to worry about."Hinata tried her best to assure her friend.
Unfortunately for Hinata, this was still not enough to convince Sakura. Sakura was a very stubborn person and it would take a lot more energy to convince her. Sadly, energy was something she happened to be very low on at the moment.
"Wait! I know!" Sakura stood up in her seat and began looking through the compartment located above their heads.
"Sakura-chan, what are you doing?"
"I'm looking for my neck pillow." Sakura stated as she continued searching through the compartment.
"Sakura-chan, you need to sit down before-"Hinata didn't get to finish her sentence as the bus took a sharp U-turn.

It all happened so fast to Sakura. One second she is reaching for her pillow the next she goes down and lands on the seat.
It's a good thing that I landed on the seat…WAIT! This is not my seat… Sakura's heart began to race as she looked up into the face of Uchiha Sasuke.
The look Sasuke was giving her gave her chills down her spine. He looked very angry and she was wondering where Naruto was when he was needed the most. He must have gone to the bathroom.
"What are you doing?" He asked in a very cold voice.
"I…I fell. Gomen. I didn't mean too-"
"Stop talking. Get. Off. Of. Me." Sasuke said in a very cold yet monotone voice. This was indeed the same girl that ignored him in the morning and as he suspected, she was just another fangirl.
SHARNNO! Who the hell does he think he is!! Sexy or not, this guy is getting the boot. Sakura's inner voice was ready to shoot a kitten. On the plus side, Sakura was glad she had a little more control than that. But control or not, Sakura was still pissed.
"I'm starting to wish I hit the floor. Guaranteed, it would have been a much more pleasant fall." Sakura muttered loud enough so the Uchiha heard her. She was hoping that this would somehow ignite another level of ire in the boy, but he kept his stoic look on his face.
After struggling to fight with the motion of the bus, and damning gravity with every bit of her might, Sakura finally got off of the Uchiha and went back to her seat. Hinata swapped seats with her so she wasn't by the window. Sakura didn't mind much. In fact, she didn't mind at all because now she wouldn't have to look at the back of his stupid chicken-ass head. The most important thing to Sakura was that she still managed to get the pillow so Hinata could try to relax.
"Are you okay, Sakura-chan?"Hinata asked with worry in her voice. She knew Sakura was embarrassed but she could have hurt herself.
"I'm fine. Hey what's that over there?" Sakura pointed out of Hinata's window to a welcome sign. "It looks like we finally made it!" Sakura was overwhelmed with glee when she found out that the horrid bus ride was over. There tense atmosphere soon vanished as Kakashi stood up and began to instruct everyone to exit the bus.

"Hello, my name is Miko and welcome to Camp Leaf. I know you guys have a lot of luggage with you and you are all sore from hauling it from the bus to these grounds, so I am going to give up your cards and send you off to your cabins." Miko began handing out cards to every student.
"Someone has the same card as you! That will be your partner here for your time at Camp Leaf. We believed in unity, so each cabin has both one of each gender."
Sakura froze at Miko's words. What if I have to share a cabin with…? No. that is not going to happen.Just relax Sakura, you can do this. Sakura looked around to see if she could find her partner. After searching, she still found no one. Hope began to ignite in Sakura, telling her that she lucked out and had her own cabin. With that said Sakura skipped to her cabin.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Once inside the cabin, Sakura looked around. There were two doors. One was a bathroom and the other was a closet. There were two beds separated by a nightstand and a divider that split the room in half.
It's not exactly a hotel but I won't mind living here for a while. Sakura put her shoulder bag on her bed and got on the floor with the intention of stuffing her suitcases under her bed until later that night. After successfully putting the suitcases in there momentarily rightful spot, she looked up when another figure caught her off guard, which caused her to let out a startled yelp.
Once again, she was staring into the eyes of Uchiha Sasuke, who looked just as surprised as she was.
Sakura mentally groaned.
This is not good!
