Authors Note: Alright. I'm SO SORRY that I haven't updated this. To be honest, I was sort of put off with the low amount of reviews, but I figured in 6 chapters, 24 reviews is semi-decent. So, really, sorry for being a butthead. Oh, and then when I started to write this story, my laptop's motherboard broke…Major Blower. But thanks to everyone who still looks forward to reading this story =3 I do have some good things planned, but this chapter isn't exactly life changing. It's one of those "make-me-feel-good" chapters =3. But yes, before I digress anymore, I am deeply sorry that I made you all wait so long!

Sakura and Hinata were cornered by Kin and Temari, who both snickered and gleamed evilly as they slowly advanced towards the two girls. Hinata was trembling as she fought vigorously against tears, feeling as if her life was slipping through her hands like silky hair. Her pearly eyes were glistening against the low watt bathroom lights, as pre-tears were starting to form at the outer face of her eye. Her face, red from crying and screaming, was now ghostly white, as if she saw such an apparition. Hinata's lips quivered with fear as the two bigger girls advanced slowly. Each footstep from Temari and Kin seemed like an earthquake to Hinata.
Sakura wasn't doing much better. She tried to remain cool and aplomb, yet her demeanor was failing her. Her vibrant green eyes were also full of fear, like a little child on Halloween. Her welts on her arm seemed to sting, like a cue that the situation wasn't in her favor. Sakura started to halt her breaths to resist the urging flow of gushing tears, itching to flow out in rivers. She looked up to see Temari's sandy hair and Kin's long snake like black hair, as they faced backwards.
I'm not fluent in Bullying 101, but I'm pretty sure you're supposed to look at the victim before you pulverize them… Sakura thought sarcastically in her head, before shifting her body silently to get up. She didn't want to lose this distraction, whatever it was, and get beaten up. She looked at Hinata, who seemed to be praying, or at least something similar as her head was bent and her hands were clenched.
Hinata, look over here! Oh my goodness! We're NOT going to get beaten up! Sakura thought, her thoughts directed towards the dark haired female. Oh wait, I'm not Jean Gray…and neither is she. Sakura bitterly thought, as she realized her futile attempts to somehow telepathically alert Hinata were cow dung. Finally, mustering up enough courage and voice, Sakura muttered under her breath;
"Hinata…look." Sakura managed to mutter out, while trying to keep quiet. She then shifted a bit, as Hinata looked up, and they both saw another female inside the bathroom. Suddenly, fear was instilled into Sakura.
What if she's with them?! What if it's now 3 against 2?! Oh no… Sakura frantically thought of drastic escape plans, which were discarded after realizing the absurdity in them. For example, somehow shooting out random signs of the Chinese Zodiac and breathing fire was completely ridiculous, as well as somehow concentrating and having super strength. But upon looking at Hinata, who was trembling in so much fear, Sakura felt a strange feeling of confidence. She at least wasn't alone.
"Are you two being annoying brats again?" A young girl voice rang out. Sakura's ears rang, as she raced to identify the voice. The good news was that it wasn't Ino. Bad news was that it could now be anyone…
"Shut up hoe. What the fuck are you doing here anyway?" Temari hissed, seemingly stroking her leg up and down. Sakura realized from the bulge in her sock, that Temari had a switchblade.
Shit…what do I do?! Sakura thought, as she was so full of emotions. Confusion, Fright, Confidence, Happiness, Sadness, etc. Her head was throbbing as was her face. She just wanted to scream, cry and just…throw up.
"Yeah Ten-Ten, go the fuck away. Doesn't eyebrows boy want to stick his nonexistent dick in your hairy pussy?" Kin hissed, as Temari cracked up. Sakura couldn't see the girls face, but she imagined her frowning. How old is Ten-Ten?
And just as if it was on cue, Temari spoke. "Yeah you little freshie. Go home. No one likes you." Finally Ten-Ten pushed through them, as they looked and scoffed. Sakura and Hinata looked up and saw the bright face of a young girl. She had big eyes and white skin, and black hair tied in the "meatball" fashion. She wasn't ugly or anything, but not someone who would win on America's next top model.
"Hi Hinata! Hi Sakura!" Ten-Ten spoke, her face bright. Sakura noticed the two bullies had left, not even saying a word. Why'd they leave?
"Er…how do you know my name?" Sakura asked, a bit curious. She was new to this school and it wasn't very normal to know someone's name already.
"Well…erm…" Ten-Ten blushed. Then it hit Sakura that the lunch incident must have been pretty popular. Sakura flushed as well as she looked down again. She looked up again, before brushing off all the bathroom filth. Her apparel was already ruined from the disgusting, unidentifiable liquid which was on the floor (Which Sakura hoped wasn't urine.) and it just looked strange to meet someone new while wearing hideous clothing.
"It's alright. Thank you….so much." Sakura said, passionately. She realized this girl saved her life, considering Temari had a switchblade. She almost felt as if her life and death meter was straining towards death. If Temari had been a bit more violent….she didn't know where she would be right now.
"It's all in a day's work. Anyways, since you're here, why not you come to my house today?" Ten-Ten politely spoke, with a grin placed on her face, as Hinata looked up and smiled.
"Yeah! That's a great idea!" The once frightened girl said, somehow regaining her stature.
"Hinata?" Sakura looked, wondering why the girl was so excited she wasn't invited. And how surprising it was that the once terrified girl, who was about to throw up, could speak confidently now.
"It'll be fun! I was already going there after school to work on some homework! But with you it'll be extra fun!" Hinata spoke, even more excitedly. Sakura felt that feeling of loneliness again, the one she felt like when she was sitting with Ino, Temari and Kin. She felt as if everyone else was partnered up and she was left alone, and laughed at. She felt as if she was the only one without a spotlight on her…as if she was the saddest person in the world…
"Sakura?" Ten-Ten inquired, wondering why the girl was suddenly looking off into another world. Sakura was brought back to reality as she smiled again.
"Oh yeah, sure! I don't see why not!" Sakura said, happily. Finally, that pit of darkness inside her was being sucked in by the light.
Period 1
The bell had rang and Sakura had hurried to her first class ; Honors US History. She noticed Kin and Ino in the back, talking furiously. They seemed too deep into their conversation to notice the cherry-blossom named female walk into the room. Her emerald eyes glanced towards the blonde and brunette and from the shapes of their mouth; they must have been talking about Sakura.
Great. I don't know whether to be happy that I'm being talked about. Sakura bitterly thought, as she sat down, trying to hide herself. As if on cue, when Sakura sat down, she heard the hushed talking from Ino and Kin stop and if looks could emit energy, Sakura would be dead.
To further complicate her day, the 3 desks that were empty around her were filled by Naruto to the right, Kiba to the left, and Shino in the front.
During the class, while Asuma blabbered on about the Vietnamese War, a note was thrown onto Sakura's desk.
Wat happened? i didnt c u aftr.
Sakura, based on the handwriting, assumed it was from Naruto, who was trying to look as innocent as possible, but his eyes were eagerly glancing at her desk. She giggled to herself as she fancily wrote with her stolen school supplies
Nothing. You should ask the self-aggrandizing idiot. Sakura wrote, as she idly flipped the paper past to Naruto. Naruto quickly opened it up and his face went blank.
Later on, another piece of paper was thrown to her, and it read
Huh? Wat d0es dat word mean?
Sakura giggled again, as she crunched up the note. The bell was about to ring any ways.
Period 2
Sakura, having escaped Naruto & Kiba, walked into the room with the EVER DEMONIC SMILING WOMAN who was…smiling. Sakura mentally groaned as she saw a HUGE stack of papers on the teachers desk. When Sakura glanced at it, she saw it wasn't worksheets; THEY WERE THE CLASS NOTES!
Sakura sat down in her seat alone, as this class wasn't filled with anyone she knew. She took out her pilfered notebook and started to take notes on page 1/823 of the Bio Class Notes Day 1 which were on the over head.
Period 3
Sakura's hands were hurting very much. She never realized 800 pages could hurt SO MUCH to write with her pencils. She had to go and steal some more lead, as she used ALL of it in that one class.
She sat down and started to take out her math notebook when she realized she didn't have her pencils either!
Shit…I must have forgotten them in the bio room. I can't go to get them now, class is about to start!
Sakura started to get nervous as she looked around, seeing no one she knew. She finally saw the blue eyes and red hair she saw this morning walk in. He looked…slightly different. He was wearing a tight black shirt, with the underarmor symbol placed on it. He had sports shorts on with fishnet socks and tennis shoes. She got a bit flushed as she could outline some of his well-toned chest. When he walked by her, she managed to mutter
"G-Gaara! Could I borrow a pencil?" Sakura muttered, thinking he didn't hear her as he sat down behind her with no reaction. Right before class started, she felt a tap on the shoulder and turned to see a pencil being given to her.
"T-Thanks. " Sakura muttered, flushing up. Gaara looked at her and then looked at the screen, ending the conversation.
Lunch
Sakura and Hinata went to their daily spot for lunch, which was the court yard. They admired the flora and beautiful scenery that was in this court yard. It was sad not many kids appreciated it.
Period 4
Sakura entered the gym room to see no one there. She looked at the door and it read COMPUTER LAB TESTING.
Sakura sighed, as she didn't feel like trudging all the way to the class room for gym. She started to wander the halls when she bumped in to Mr. Kakashi!
"Sakura?" He asked, quite confused.
"Umm…hello Mr. Kakashi!" She idly spoke, her heart racing fast.
"Don't you have A lunch?" Kakashi said, while munching on an apple.
"Umm…" Sakura tried to stall, while she thought of a lie, but to no avail.
"Hm. Well…as punishment, why don't you come to my class-room?" Kakashi spoke, in a quite low voice. Sakura felt herself walking to his room while he unlocked it.
"So how have your first couple day's been Sakura?" Kakashi asked, while pouring himself some juice from a pitcher.
"Umm…pretty good. Yours sir?" Sakura replied politely.
"Hahah, sir? You're funny. Anyways, would you like to keep me company while I watch Family Guy? I'm quite bored here alone…" Kakashi said, as Sakura shrugged. She figured it wouldn't be bad.
The rest of the period passed by in a snap.
The rest of Sakura's day also went like that, even in her last class, where she remained flush when Kakashi spoke so close to her.
Finally, the bell rang and Sakura found Ten-Ten and Hinata waiting.
"Ready to go?" Ten-Ten spoke cheerfully as Sakura nodded, coming into Ten-Ten's mothers car.
****
It was 7 PM already. Sakura didn't notice the time fly by so quick, with all the manicures, talking about hot guys, and chick flick watching going on. She felt so happy, something she felt like having all the time. She didn't want to think about returning home until Hinata did.
After Hinata left, Sakura felt awkward. Ten-Ten and her were still talking, and Ten-Ten then asked
"Is someone coming to pick you up?"
"Oh…umm…I'll walk." Sakura said, picking up her bag. TenTen offered a ride, and Sakura refused.
Sakura said bye as she stepped outside, almost screaming as she realized how dark it was. This wasn't good…
