Chapter Three

Sakura glanced intensely at the boys in front of her. She had just finished up her first three classes of the day and was now ready to eat for the first time in the dining hall. As soon as she walked out of the class room, she was bombarded by the hyper active fast boy she had met last evening, "Sakura you listening?" The boy moaned as he let his head fall in shame, "I said I was sorry..!" She heard him whine again.

Pulling herself out of the daydream of recollections of what happened previously when she met the handsome boy, she parted her plump lips, "It's okay really," she spoke almost awkwardly. Letting the exasperation leave her emotions, realising holding a grudge against the apologetic boy wouldn't do anyone any favours.

Naruto beamed with excitement, he had a wide white grin stretching from one side of his face to the other, "You going to eat?" He let his back straighten, Sakura disliked the fact she was so tiny compared to him.

"Actually I was.. umm.. I don't know where it is though.." The pink haired beauty smiled awkwardly, she really needed to get her aunt to show her around so she didn't make herself look like a moron.

Naruto harshly placed both hands on her shoulders, "We'll show you, right teme?" Sakura slowly looked over Naruto's shoulder, she had almost forgotten about the male standing behind the blonde. It was the same boy who had been in all of her previous classes. The only thing that really made him stand out was his looks, but his black shoulder length hair, oddly reminded her of.. a chickens behind?

She held back the laughter in her throat from that thought, the boy looked like he would kill anyone who mocked him, "Hn," he deadpanned. Sakura only raised an eyebrow to his response. He seemed so dull and uninteresting, so far the only quality she saw about him were his looks. But she had a small hope that, that wasn't all there was to the boy.

Slowly, rough skin grasped her wrist, she felt an instant feeling of deja vu, "No don't!" The cherry blossom almost screamed, ocean and obsidian eyes faced her in shock, quickly Naruto moved his palm from the scared girl to the back of his neck, grinning awkwardly.

"Sorry Sakura! I wasn't gunna do it!" The lightening fast boy laughed uneasily, reminding himself of yesterday's events.

Holding her wrist next to her fast heart beat, she sighed with relief, but smiled almost too fast, facing Naruto she allowed her lips to part, "Alright, let's go," thumping the blonde on the back, leading him towards the large door, he beamed at her sudden actions, but little did he know the strike was just pay back from the petite girl. The tall boy behind the two only sighed with aggravation, now he had to deal with another child.

Naruto chimed as he exited the large doors, looking towards the glowing pink girl he noticed his best friend was falling behind, "Ah! Sasuke, hurry up will ya? Such a teme.." The blonde moaned, only to earn a glare from the handsome boy.

Sasuke quickly caught up to them with little effort, before passing his friend he smacked Naruto harshly on his poor hollow skull, "Dobe, don't lack behind," he smirked as he walked in front of the two, leading them towards the north wall, opening the door to the left of the extravagant stair case, Sakura instantly gasped in shock.

She took in the vast area, a huge field filled with trees lined up perfectly, a cobble path filled with pebbles stood before her, parting the trees apart. Further down the path, as far as her vision could clearly make out, an elegant fountain was placed, she really wanted to go see this sight before she heard a voice pull her away from the beautiful view, "Sakura you see that place over there?" Naruto pointed towards a separate building on the right, it wasn't nearly as impressive as the mansion that stood behind them, but it was a very beautiful sight.

"That's the dining hall," The raven haired boy interrupted the blonde, Sakura grinned, she could tell instantly of the rivalry between the two boys. Stepping onto the path that lead towards the dining hall, the two boys trailed behind her, bickering like children.

Approaching the building Sakura pulled a warm smile on her face as she noticed a raven haired girl sitting on her lonesome, walking faster she stood in front of the girl, "Hey Hinata, you wanna get lunch with us?" Hinata smiled softly at the kind gesture, peering over Sakura's shoulder she noticed Naruto and Sasuke behind her and blushed into embarrassment, oh why did the boy she loved from a distance have to befriend Sakura?

"Umm.. Sure.." she poked her index fingers together and looked towards the ground, only for Sakura to hold her chin softly and tilt her pearl eyes towards emerald, "Don't worry," The pink haired girl grinned, reassuring the shy girl.

"Hinata!" The two girls looked behind them to see a beaming Naruto, almost bouncing. "Woop! Finally, about time I got some more people to hang with instead of this boring teme.." Naruto laughed almost like he was an escapee from a mental asylum.

"Shut up, Dobe," Sasuke bit harshly at the blonde, before they could continue the argument Sakura gestured them towards the door, upon opening the said object Sakura wasn't surprised with the decor. Multiple long wooden tables lined up, it was too much, for somewhere to eat, she felt as if she was in a six star hotel.

"I hope they have ramen on the menu today!" Naruto almost screamed, Hinata blushed at his actions, typical.. Sakura thought, Hinata and Naruto seemed so.. predictable in the small amount of time she had known them. Glancing to her left, Sakura allowed her gaze to land on the emotionless onyx haired boy, blushing, she realised how beautiful he was, the more she looked, the more it drew her in.

Shaking her head vigorously she shakes the thoughts out of her head, "Hey, Sakura, did granny Tsunade tell you about after lunch classes?" Sakura glanced at Naruto as they stood in line for their orders.

Placing a finger on her chin she tried to remember any recollection of her aunt saying anything about it, "I don't believe so.. Uh, why?" She looked up at the boy only to be met with a huge grin.

"It's just physical practice," Sasuke interrupted the bouncy blonde, Naruto glared at the relaxed boy, why did that teme have to constantly interrupt him?

"Just physical practice?!" Naruto yelled at Sasuke, "It's where you train to get better with your powers you stupid teme!" Naruto could never understand why Sasuke never seemed to take anything seriously.

"Shut up, you're such an annoying Dobe," Sasuke sighed deeply, why did Naruto have to take everything insanely serious?

"Orders please!" A tall middle aged woman interrupted the two arguing boys, just for Sasuke to pout silently.

"Ramen!" Naruto cried. Oh how he wanted the schools ramen, it was to die for.

"Lucky, we have some," The woman laughed as she took everyone's orders, dumplings for Sakura and Hinata, ramen for Naruto and a tomato based salad for Sasuke.

The four newly found friends sat down at the edge of a long table, away from the majority, "So Sakura," Sasuke spoke softly before landing a piece of tomato near his lips, "What's you're ability?"

Sakura glanced at the boy, his voice was so.. alluring when he wasn't speaking towards Naruto, "Telekinesis.." She smiled awkwardly, she didn't know if they would laugh at her ability.

"Seriously?" Naruto stood up with both hands on the table, awarding himself looks from people all over the hall, "That's so cool! Mines running!" Sasuke stood up and hit Naruto on the skull.

"Everyone can run you idiot," Hinata gasped at Sasuke's rude action.

"Fine," Naruto angrily rubbed his head, "I can run fast," He pouted.

"What's your ability Sasuke?" Sakura asked with as much confidence as she had, she didn't know if he would shut her down on the question.

"Pyrokinesis," He spoke with utter confidence, as if he was insanely proud of his ability.

"It's not even that great.." Naruto moaned, he didn't understand why people thought controlling fire was so cool, Naruto thought it was a stupid ability.

"Think what you want idiot," Sasuke moved from the table and left the trio, but Naruto chased after the moody boy, only leaving a surprised Sakura and Hinata to their amazing dumplings.

After eating their lunch, Sakura and Hinata left the elegant dining hall, realising that the other half of classes were approaching quickly. Giggling together they walked back into the main hall and sat at the bottom of the large stair case together, "So what room are you in next?" Sakura asked the shy girl.

"Umm.." She shook as if she had forgotten, "room five I believe.." Sakura frowned again, she didn't seem to have any of the same classes with her friend who lived in the room next to her.

Hinata instantly knew the look, and understood that she wasn't to be in the same class as the pink haired female, "Oh, umm... what's your schedule for tomorrow?" Hinata asked.

Sakura quickly pulled out her schedule and looked intensely, Hinata peered over at the paper and smiled, "I'm in your maths class tomorrow.." Hinata smiled, making Sakura feel bliss that she could spend more time with the girl.

Before Sakura could respond, the schools lightly beautiful chimed bell rang off, alerting the students of class, Sakura and Hinata made their way to the first hall, Sakura was shocked to see the amount of students standing around, and even more were making their way in as well.

Sakura waved off to Hinata as she made her way further down the hall, Sakura stood in front of her classroom as she spotted the familiar boy standing next to the wall, she walked up to him, slowly.

"Hey, Sasuke," She spoke softly at the handsome boy as he turned his head towards her. He looked at her intensely.

"Sakura," he greeted, quite rudely it seemed, but Sakura brushed it off and stood next to him, both of them waited in silence for their teacher to arrive whilst the hall was filled with chatter.

"I see I've got you in my class again Sakura Haruno," Sakura looked up instantly to spot her teacher, she was surprised to see Kakashi. Her teacher from earlier.

"Kakashi Sensei.."
