High School Trauma

Full Summary: Sakura thought this would be just another boring, average school year. However, the arrival of a few new students makes that quite impossible…

BEEP! BEEP!

"Zzzz…"

BEEP! BEEP!

"Grr…"

BEEP! BEEP!

"Rrraaahhh!" Sakura launched herself out of bed. It was Saturday, GODDAMN IT! Sticking her head out the window, she scowled. "SHUT THE FUCK UP!" she shouted shaking her fist. She slapped her hand over her mouth. 'Oh… Oops…' She took a more careful look, and saw a moving truck backing into the driveway of the house next door. 'Yay!' Sakura thought, overjoyed. 'That house has been on sale, like, forever and a half! I'm getting a new neighbor!'

Sakura hurried up and made herself pretty. She was gonna go greet them! She just hoped that they were more pleasant company then her other neighbor, a 'sweet' old lady who was really a total ass. Always yelling and screeching and complaining about every little thing. She grabbed a Poptart and a glass of milk, practically inhaling the food. She rushed outside and rang the doorbell of the now sold house.

She heard footsteps, and the door opened to reveal… was that a girl? He/she was wearing a pale blue T-shirt and blue denim jean shorts, and had long brown hair and eyes that matched. She-man looked at her and she fidgeted.

"Uh, hi!" she said, trying to regain her enthusiasm. "I guess you're my new neighbor. I'm Haruno Sakura!" She-man stared at her. Sakura guessed that he/she thought she was mental or something. A few uncomfortable seconds of silence went by before he/she spoke. She-man's voice sounded like a girl's…

"Okay…" she-man said slowly, clearly assuming that Sakura was retarded or clinically insane. "I'm Momochi Haku."

'WHAT THE FUCK?' Sakura thought, dumbfounded. 'THAT'S A GUY?'

"Well, um…" she stammered, "erm… welcome to the neighborhood, Haku…" He nodded. She was kinda creepy in a weird sorta way. "Are you gonna be going to Konahagakure High?" Sakura asked. He nodded. "Okay…" she paused. "I guess that if you need help getting around at school, you can ask…" Being polite felt awkward. Haku was saved from having to respond when a deep baritone came from within the depths of his new home.

"HAKU!" someone yelled. "GET YOUR ASS OVER HERE AND HELP ME UNPACK!" Haku turned to the weird pink-haired nutcase on his porch and sighed, even though he was relieved.

"That," he said smoothly, "would be Zabuza. My adoptive father doesn't have much patience, so I'm afraid that this conversation will have to be cut short." He closed the door, and Sakura sighed, finally out of that awkward situation.

-Sunday afternoon, 12:35 PM-

Sakura yawned, waking up. She'd slept unusually well. She felt great. She went to her parent's bedroom to tidy up. They were never home, but that didn't stop her from making a mess of things in there. Looking out the window, she froze in shock. Haku was wearing a pink sundress and pulling up weeds in the garden. Sakura ran back to her room.

'Is that guy GAY, or something?' she asked herself. 'Maybe not gay, but he's definitely a cross-dresser.' Turning back to her morning tasks, she tried to forget what she'd seen, and started nibbling on a bagel. The insanity level around here was reaching groundbreaking proportions…


Neighbors. What can I say?
