Konoha High's Best Years

Chapter 3

The following day Sasuke,Naruto and Shikamaru went to school a little early .

They wanted to check something: Naruto wanted to join the basketball team,and Shiakamaru wanted to enter the chess club,being the genius he is and being too lazy for sports .

They met Sakura,Ino and Hinata .

"Hey! Let's go to class! We have English now,I wonder who the teacher will be!" ,shouted Naruto .


"Good morning class,my name is Kakashi Hatake,and I'm your English teacher .

We'll start working next week,these days will be,ehr,bonding class time!"

This was their first English lesson .

The students all blinked,since when did a teacher take so long to start the program?

He continued : "Today,we're going to introduce yourself to the class . I believe you didn't do this with the other teachers . You,do you mind to start?" . He looked something between happy and lazy .

He pointed at Naruto,who quickly stood up from his seat grinning,and shouted happily : " Hello! My name is Naruto Uzumaki!I like ramen,I like being with my friends,I LIKE TO ENJOY LIFE!!!"

Kakashi liked the student,he was out-going and cheerful .

He pointed at Shikamaru . "You?" .

"How troublesome",he muttered before getting lazily up .

"My name is Shikamaru Nara,I like to watch clouds,I like to think,I like to sleep" .

"Mh,a genius then" commented Kakashi smiling . "You ." He pointed at Sasuke .

"My name is Sasuke Uchiha,I like to listen to music,I like eating tomatoes,I like watching war movies " .

"...The alternative spirit,pretty much . Let's go on . You?" .

Hinata stood up : " H-hello,I'm Hi-Hinata Hyuuga,I-i like to p-play the p-piano,I l-like to d-draw and t-take pho-photographs " .

"The artist . Very good . What about you?" .

"HI! I'm Ino Yamanaka,I like shopping,I like fashion clothing,and I like singing!" .

"Tipycal teen-ager . You?" .

"Hi,my name's Sakura Haruno . I like to read,I like to write,and I like dancing " .

"The quiet one . Perfect . You?" .

This time,a very pale boy stood up,smiling .

"Hi,I'm Sai . I paint " .

"Only that? Wow ." Kakashi pointed to a girl, " what about you?" .

"Hello,my name's Karin . I LIKE SASUKE!" .

"...Worst teen-ager" ,muttered Kakashi to himself .

He continued asking the introductions of the other students,and when he finished,some minutes before the bell's ring,he said : "Ok guys,we've done enough for today,let's do whatever you like ." He took a little orange book out of his pocket,and started reading it .

As Kakashi said so,the Karin girl walked right in front of Sasuke ,and chirped : "Oh,Sasuke,I saw you yesterday,and I knew I had to do something about you!" .

He was horrified,terrified,frightened,that freak really wasn't his type of girl... He said nothing .

"So,Sasuke,I decided to create your first fun club!",she beamed .

This time was Sakura's turn to snicker,while Naruto and Sasuke gaped,the first due to disbelief,the second due to the horror that was already overwhelming his brain .

'Nooo the fun clubs noooo! Itachi help meee!' .

"So,Sasuke,will you go out with me?",she asked him shamelessly .

Karin was obnoxious .

"No,ehr...Karin...,you see,I've got a girlfriend already!" . Of course he invented this . Ahah .

"ARGH! How can this be??! Who's her?!" ,she shrieked .

Sasuke tried his best not to loose his cool as he thought of a suitable girl for the Karin-defense-operation .

"Sakura Haruno! Yes she is -he looked at her now angered face asking for help- my beloved girlfriend,yeah I...uhm...Love her so much ..." he said quickly,too quickly .

Karin was trembling in anger by now .

"You'll pay for stealing my precious Sasuke-kun from me!"She pointed dramatically at Sakura,and stomped away cursing .

Kakashi didn't seem to notice anything wrong .

Sasuke sighed,he was about to turn towards Sakura to justify himself and maybe even say sorry to her,but he didn't see her .

Hinata,Naruto,Ino and Shikamaru were watching intently,a worried expression on their faces .

"Sasuke..." ,spoke Sakura in a sepolchral deep voice .

She had moved in front of him when he wasn't looking .

He turned again,a scared look in his eyes,and waited for the apocalypse .

"HOW DARE YOU TELL THAT BITCH THAT I'M YOUR GIRLFRIEND!HAVE YOU THOUGHT OF THE LIVING HELL SHE'LL MAKE ME LIVE FROM NOW?!UH?!YOU STUPID FUCKTARD SELFISH IGNORANT EMO BASTARD!!!",she yelled savagely .

She was trying to strangle him,too .

From another classroom,a desperate "YOUTHFUL CHERRY BLOSSOM!WHO IS HURTING YOU?! I'LL BE RIGHT HERE!WAIT,RESIT!!YOSH!" was heard . Lee!

"LEE SHUT UP AND BRING YOUR ASS ON YOUR CHAIR,I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU ARE ACTUALLY LISTENING TO OTHERS' CLASSES CRAP WHILE WE'RE HAVING THE FIRST MATHS TEST OF THE YEAR!...Sorry Asuma-sensei...!" . Probably Tenten .

Sakura's rage seemed to melt as he heard Lee's voice . She was looking hysterical right now .

"not him not him not him not him not him not him" ,she was repeating frantically .

Her classmates were watching her awkwardly . Kakashi never stopped reading his book .

She calmed down,regaining her composure .

"Uchiha,we'll talk about this mess later" ,she said seriously . He gulped .


Lunch time .

Sasuke and Sakura were watching at each other coldly,when Neji came up to them .

"What the fuck happened in your goddamn class?! Lee had a brain fuck up,Tenten is still chasing him around the school to beat him,and Asuma-sensei annulled the fuckin' test!!" .

He was evidently pissed .

They explained everything to him ,rather unwillingly . This was already embarrassing enough .

"Hn . Fan...Girls . " . He said "fan girls" with such a venomous hate in his voice,that the two younger students thought for a second that he might go psycho and kill every single fan girl in the whole school . "Kill them Uchiha . As much as you can " .

He added a second later,seeing the expression of utter shock in Sasuke and Sakura's faces :" I was kidding . But hate them . Bye" .

Since he's had some problems with them too,especially in the first two years he'd been in this school,he understood,but he was still pissed when he left .

When Naruto,Hinata,Ino and Shikamaru reached them in the cafeteria,Sasuke and Sakura went to sit with them .


"Now,Uchiha,just after we'll be finished with lunch,you'll explain to Karin that ME and YOU are NOTHING! Understood?" .

"Sakura,I really need your help to get out of this shitty situation . Karin will freak out if I say something like this to her . So please,can we act like,only at school obviously,we're,uhm, dating and such? Only until I find a solution to the Karin problem!" .

Naruto,Hinata,Shikamaru and Ino were listening with their eyes shifting regularly from Sakura to Sasuke,they were curious .

Sakura was a little taken aback from this crazy idea .

'Why should I help that jerk? It's not even like we're sooo friends...'

Nonetheless,she agreed reluctantly : "Only until you don't find a solution . And if you piss me off,I won't help you anymore . So be nice and go get me a muffin!"

She had a nearly invisible blush on her cheeks .

"A muffin at lunch time...?...Fine..." He smiled sheepishly at her : "thank you Sakura" .


Sasuke was already wearing his football clothes when he reached Neji in the football courts,behind the school's main building .

Tenten was there as well,chatting quietly with him .

"I bet they're together,they're always by each other,except for today,when she was trying to kill Lee" . He laughed to himself as he imagined the possible scene .

As they saw him,they started to smirk evilly .

"Sasuke,Hinata told us that you and Sakura are really getting closer . That's a record,you've known her only 3 days ago!",proclaimed Tenten airily,a mischievous glimpse in her hazel eyes .

Neji kept smirking . 'Ah,the bastard...',thought Sasuke .

"So? What is really going on?" ,asked Neji,endlessly amused by Sasuke's fan girls' attacks right now .

'Here we go...' Thought the poor raven haired boy,as he started to jog,ignoring them .

"Neji,he's mean! He didn't answer..." .

"I won't let him in the team if he doesn't by the end of his selection,no matter how he may be good,don't worry " .

"I didn't know you were such a gossip man?!" .

"Am not,you are . "


First SasuSaku glimpses .

I made Sasuke very OOC,but whatever .
