Ok, here's the deal. One person asked why she is perfect. I don't intend to make her the most perfect person in the world, okay? She herself, I plan the make, basically, the image of perfection surrounded by imperfection. I will introduce the imperfection in her life, later. So for right now enjoy the story and please no flames, I'm not a very good writer, but if you have any constructive criticism, I am happy to receive.

By the way. Their houses are in a circle formation. Sakura's is in the middle. The boys' houses are angled in a way to that all of them can see Sakura's room from their room.

Sasuke thoughts

-미영-미영-미영-미영-미영-미영-미영-미영-미영-미영-미영-미영-

Neji, Shikamaru, Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura were walking to Calculus together when suddenly they heard a lot of girlish shrieks. They turned around and saw the entire female and male population of the school, following them. Seeing this, Sasuke grabbed Sakura's hand and made a run for it to Calculus on the other side of the school. Behind them, Naruto, Shikamaru, and Neji were running and trying to escape from the clutches of the rabid fanboys and fangirls.

Damn! Sasuke is holding her hand!, thought all the guys while running for their life and their clothes. They stared at the interlocked limbs…Maybe if they stared long enough, Sasuke's hand would fall off, but they couldn't put the full potency of their stare in because of the rampage behind them.

They made it in the classroom, while Sasuke was still holding Sakura's hand. Hinata, Ino, and Tenten looked at them weirdly. Sasuke and Sakura looked toward where they were looking at, along with the other boys. They saw their joined hands and quickly pulled away. Both Sasuke and Sakura had a microscopic blush. They thought that nobody saw it, but the boys' keen eyes caught the red hue on the Uchiha's and Haruno's face. Neji grew jealous with envy, but tried to keep his cool facade, but a twitch still made its way up to his left eye. Shikamaru was muttering the word troublesome and some incoherent cusses under his breath. Naruto openly expressed his distaste.

"Teme! Stop holding Sakura's hand! Why do you get all the pretty girls!"

"Shut up, dobe." Sasuke replied coolly.

"Aww…Naruto," Sakura said to calm him down from his jealous rampage, "Sasuke was trying to help me get away from the fangirls and fanboys. I think that it was really sweet." Sasuke flushed a little at the statement, "And…It's really nice that you think I'm pretty." Sakura giggled and Naruto just smiled at her and forgot his anger quickly when he got his praise. He glomped her again and started ranting about how cute she was.

"Come on, we should take our seats right?" Sakura asked as she detangled herself from Naruto. The boys nodded and went to their seats in the back corner of the room. Since there was one empty seat between Shikamaru and Neji, she sat there. The seating order is Sasuke and Naruto and behind them were Shikamaru, Sakura, then Neji. Sasuke immediately glared at Neji, while Neji just smirked back in victory.

Neji turned to Sakura and said, "So, Sakura. Where was your old school?"

She replied, "I lived in Suna. Suna Private Academy."

Shikamaru decided to join the conversation and said, "Really, our old friend Gaara lives there." Soon Naruto and Sasuke turned to listen to the conversation as well.

"Gaara? Gaara Subaku?" She asked, curious.

"Yah, Gaara! He rocks!" Naruto exclaimed.

"Yah, I know him. He was my boyfriend while I was there, but we had to break up when I left. We dated for about a year." She replied,

The guys eyes widened in shock. Gaara, the insomniatic bad boy dated Haruno Sakura, a sweet, angelic, innocent, hot girl for two fuckin' years and didn't tell them!

"What?" she asked innocently when the guys went quiet. The guys were even more determined to get her because no one warms the heart the Gaara, so they thought she must have been really special.

"Hey, guys. Do you have an IM?" Sakura asked when an awkward silence fell upon them.

"Huh…what…uh…ya! My name is RamenBoy1010." Naruto replied.

"Hn….mine's Sharingan01." Sasuke added.

"Troublesome, mine's CloudGazer123" Shikamaru said lazily.

"Mine is Destiny_Believer12" Neji said.

"Great! Mine's is Cute_Angel_Blossom. Do you guys know what Hinata, Ino, and Tenten's are?"

"Hinata's is White_Innocence. You can ask her for the others." Neji responded.

Their chat was interrupted when a beautiful black haired lady with red eyes walked in. "Take out your textbooks and do all the problems on pages 14-20. You homework will be on pages 20-30. You may start."

Sakura and Shikamaru finished both their homework and the classwork in 15 minutes. Since they still had a lot of time left, they started talking.

"Sorry, Sakura, but if you don't mind me asking, how did you date Gaara? I mean, he has a bad reputation and is like an ice cube." Shikamaru asked. The boys ears perked up and were discreetly listening to their conversation.

"Well, everybody is nice at heart. I guess that I was just able to get through past his icy borders. It's like….hm…how should I explain this….uh…oh! Like Sasuke and Neji! Although everybody thinks that they are rude emotionless bastards," Sasuke and Neji stiffened at this, "They care for the people that are precious to them like their friends and family. It just isn't their best skill to show their emotions." Sasuke thoughtfully stared at her….but then stiffened, "rude emotionless bastards"?

Neji also thought, Hm. Thoughtful. Cute. Smart. Observant. Hello, Mrs. Hyuuga…

Naruto sat wondering, Man, Sakura just figured that out. Wow! It took me a week to realize that he cares, but he is still a bastard….

Shikamaru just sat there shocked. He realized that Sakura had a special gift to see and bring out the good side of people. Heck, he didn't even know Gaara had a good side.

"You know how to see the good side in people, Sakura." Shikamaru said, speaking his mind.

"I guess," She blushed, "Like for instance your good side is that you use your smarts to help your friends and although you think everything is troublesome, you'll help when they are in trouble and that is what makes you really sweet and noble. Naruto, although he can be loud and obnoxious, he will never break a promise and helps his friends. He puts everything above himself. He is really a good, selfless friend. Neji is very warm and kind no matter how cold he looks. He knows when to be sweet and caring and has great determination just like Naruto that makes a great friend. And Sasuke is a sweet, gentle person on the inside. Although he can act like a living ice cube, he is a gentle and caring person that just has a strong wall that he holds up so he doesn't get hurt….but that's just my first impression. I could be wrong" She just shrugged.

"Sakura-chan! You are like an angel! You are perfect!" Naruto exclaimed. Shikamaru and Sakura turned to him, startled.

"Uh…thanks…but nobody's perfect and that includes me," Sakura looked so confident of this fact with a reserved look in her eyes. By this time, everybody finished and the guys were looking at her curiously. Sakura looked up again and smiled at them. It was a very small smile compared to her normal bright smiles though. She just said, "It's alright though. I guess you could say that I have very demanding parents."

"Are you okay, Sakura-chan?" Naruto asked in a serious tone.

"Yah, Naruto. Just fine." Sakura looked to the front of the classroom, avoiding their gazes.

BRING!BRING!BRING!

"Come on, guys! We are going to have to hurry if we want to get there in one piece right?" Sakura said cheerfully. She grabbed Naruto's hand this time and ran to 2nd period, as she was running she was thinking to herself.

You gotta stop keeping this stress all cooped up in you.

Yah, but what can I do about it?

Tell them, you can trust them. They are filthy rich like you so they'll probably know what you are going through?

Or not.

Stop being so pessimistic

...whatever…got to get to my next class

OK, but don't say I didn't warn ya…
