A Day In Life

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto…
A/N: Ok, first of all I'm going to make Gaara's last name Kazekage because he's the fifth of Sunagakure. So don't hurt me, please. Second of all, Sakura kind of like falls for Gaara (creepy lab partner), Itachi (hot lit. teacher), Kakashi (perverted gym teacher), and finally Sasuke (the sadistic heartthrob). Mainly because they are all really hot, Sasuke being number I, but anyways there are some tidbits of Shikamaru and Temari. So it's a story full of possibilities! Third, Orochimaru is the science teacher, he likes snakes, and the chemical they're using (sodium cyanide) is a poisonous substance… funny… not really! Even though I have put characters like Shino and Kiba or Gaara and Temari doesn't mean they will stay. After a few chapters they'll only be in a few sentences and conversations. Now read and don't forget to review!
Summary: Haruno Sakura had a bad life full of the craziest guys you've ever met. From her drunk and widowed father to the crazy white eyed freak. Her hot literature to her perverted gym teacher. Her creepy lab partner and the ever-so-sweet golfer to the loud-mouthed blonde who won't leave her alone. And then there's the sadistic heartthrob that she can't get out of her head.
Chapter Two: My Chemical Romance
Sakura beat her head on the desk when her science teacher, Orochimaru, paired people up for an experiment. There were twenty-five students in the class, so someone was going to end up with Orochimaru. Sakura shuddered at the thought. It wasn't so much as the guy intimidated her like some of the other teachers, he just scared the hell out of her. "Inuzuka Kiba, you'll be partnered with me." Sakura pitied the brunette, who was now whimpering and trying to make himself disappear with his dog cap. "Haruno Sakura and Gaara Kazekage will be together." Sakura once again beat her head on the desk. Too bad her friends weren't here right now.
"You know, you're losing brain cells, right?" She lifted her head to meet charming green eyes that belonged to a boy with a head full of auburn hair. "H-hi." Sakura clamped a hand over her mouth, she was sounding so stupid in front of this hot guy. He gave her a small smile and sat down at the table with her. Orochimaru passed out some beakers and test tubes and a few chemicals for all of the tables. "Okay, it already has some liquid in it, so just add a little bit of the sodium cyanide… or better yet the white salt. Pour until it gets to the ¾ symbol" Orochimaru said to his class. Sakura poured in the cyanide but when Gaara said enough she still kept pouring until it was over flowing. "Sakura, that's enough!" Sakura kept her eyes on the boy who was frantically trying to stop the pink haired girl. "Holy shit." Gaara muttered and Orochimaru instructed, "Everyone! The cyanide in that tube will blow causing a poisonous gas. I want you all to evacuate immediately!"
"That was quite possibly the worst thing that has ever happened to me," Sakura whined to everyone. Her new friend, Gaara, was smirking which caused Sasuke to clench his fists, knuckles growing white. Ino noticed and leaned over, whispering, "Someone is jealous of a kid from Sunagakure." Sasuke released his intense glare from the orange haired boy to the pale blond girl next to him. "Am not," he said under his breath. Just then a girl with blonde hair in ponytails walked up to Gaara and smiled at them. "Hey, Gaara, who are your friends?" So the very long and boring introductions began again. This was why Sasuke didn't want to come to this school in the first place. "This is my sister Temari." Shikamaru, who was napping on the ground beside Sasuke, sat up and mumbled, "Damn introductions. Too troublesome." Temari blushed at the boy and Ino glared, clenching her fists, as Sasuke leaned over to her and whispered, "Someone is jealous of a kid from Sunagakure." Ino glared even harder at the girl, then sighed standing up. "I'm going now. My grandmother is coming over tonight so I have to get ready," she said, noticing that the only ones listening were the Hyuuga cousins, Ten-Ten, the Uchiha, and the ramen lover. She frowned, knowing full well that Sakura and Shikamaru would put all their attention on her, but instead the pink haired girl and the brunette were paying attention to the kids from Sunagakure.
Slightly depressed, the teen walked away from the group, head lowered and eyes on the ground. Who needed them anyways. Sakura could have her stupid friend, she didn't think he was that great anyways. Shikamaru, she frowned at his name, she really couldn't hate him. It wasn't his fault that he was incredibly cute with his lazy grins. Ino stopped dead in her tracks. She didn't like Shikamaru. He was lazy and he wasn't interested in anything. Who was she kidding? She liked his lazy grins, how his hair could be in a ponytail and him still look good, she loved his IQ, and she adored his constant replies of 'this is too troublesome.' She took one last glance at the group and then at the new girl, Temari. Well, if she wanted Shikamaru she'd just have to fight harder.
Naruto place his hands behind his head and closed his eyes, grinning. The girl beside him looked at him and spoke softly, "I'm s-sorry t-that I-I'm boring you." Naruto opened his eyes surprised. This girl was the least boring person he'd ever met. "No, you're not boring. I just like the way you talk." Hinata blushed and whispered, "Oh." Naruto smiled down at his pearl eyed friend and invited, "Do you want to come over to my house for dinner?" Hinata blushed even more and stuttered a reply of, "Y-yes." Naruto grabbed her hand and ran towards his and Shikamaru's house.
Neji walked behind Naruto and Hinata with his friend, Ten-Ten. "What the hell does the blonde brat think he's doing?" Ten-Ten sighed and told him, "Maybe they like each other. They get along and you told me that Hinata was real shy, so I guess her hanging around bold people will make her more confident." Neji lowered his head and thought about what she said. Maybe Ten-Ten was right. Hinata could be a little more bold and more self dependent. "Neji, do you want to come over to my house? I can help you with your artwork." Neji looked at the dark eyed girl and thought for a moment. It couldn't hurt. "Alright," Neji said sighing, making Ten-Ten giggle and grab his arm running off to her home.
Sakura trudged home with Sasuke, going on and on how great her new friend was, "He's invited me over to his house today at four o' clock to meet his family. Isn't that great?" Sasuke stopped walking. Today at 4:00. His hockey game that she promised to go to was at the same time. She forgot. "Yeah that's great, Sakura. Go on ahead without me. I just remembered that I have to do something." He lowered his head and turned on his heel, walking off to an all too familiar place. Sakura shrugged. And Naruto and Ino said that she was forgetful. 'Oh, well…' she thought walking towards her small, white house.
Kiba searched frantically around the school grounds for his precious thing. "Akamaru, here boy!" He called to his best canine friend. He ran around the corner of the science lab and found a boy with sunglasses holding a box in the air trying to keep it away from Kiba's dog, Akamaru. "Bad dog, Akamaru. Sorry 'bout that… um." He said, prying his small, white dog off of the boy's leg. "Aburame Shino," the boy answered holding his brown box in his hands securely. "Inuzuka Kiba. Akamaru is usually a good dog except when he sniffs bugs," Kiba explained rubbing his dog's fur softly. He then saw the what was inside the new boy's box. "You might want to keep them close." Shino nodded before placing his bugs in his backpack and bending over to scratch the dog himself. "Since you have an interest in bugs, you can come to my house. There are plenty of bees, butterflies. You name it!" Kiba yelled, making Shino wince and place his hands over his ears. Kiba placed a hand at the back of his head and said sheepishly, "Sorry."
Rock Lee smiled, his teeth making a 'ping' sound effect. He wasn't directing it at anyone he was just happy. Why? He made a new friend, saw his favorite teacher, and saw a very pretty girl. And his teacher, Asuma, assigned him to tutor a boy named Choji. Looking at the slip of paper he noticed he was standing by that exact house. He strolled down the driveway, examining the flowers in the garden and observing the scenic view. For a person living in West Konoha, they had done pretty well for themselves. Stepping up to the door, he rang the doorbell, awaiting his student. The smaller version of Gai was surprised to see a very large man open the door. "H-hi is Choji home?" The man nodded and allowed the boy in. The man led him into the kitchen where he saw a boy his age raiding the fridge. "Choji, you have company." The auburn haired boy lifted his head from the refrigerator and stared at the boy with thick eyebrows. "Mr. Sarutobi Asuma told me to come and go over today's interrupted lesson with you," Rock Lee said nervously, big people intimidated him. Choji smiled and said, "Okay, let me grab some chips and we'll go to my room."
Gaara shifted through the people in the living room and headed into the game room. His brother, Kankuro, was laying on the couch reading his new favorite romance novel. Gaara caught a few mutters of, "That bastard… She doesn't need a man… Raising two kids in an un-air conditioned apartment is so sad." The younger brother sighed and went over to his sister. "Dad still in his business meeting," Temari asked, eyes glued on the ball she was about hit. Gaara grabbed a stick and stood waiting for his turn, if he'd ever get a turn. Temari kicked ass in pool, so you were lucky if you even got to try. Sometimes Gaara wondered if his brother and sister were in the wrong bodies. Kankuro and his romance novels and crying in chick-flicks, and Temari with her kick-ass pool playing and poker champ. "Yes," he muttered watching her skills at pool. Temari sighed and stood straight from her hunched over position, "Ever since mom died he's been too busy with his job that he doesn't have time for us." Gaara scowled and replied darkly, "At least you got to see mom." Gaara's blond sister softened her expression. Their mother had died giving birth to Gaara. They had always told him she was on a business trip and when he finally found out he blamed himself. "Gaara," Temari whispered softly, watching her brother's retreating figure head up the stairs and into his room. She looked at the clock hanging on the wall. Gaara's friend would be over soon.
Yuhi Kurenai looked up from her desk. The school had been cleaned and still wasn't in good condition, but at least they could have school tomorrow. Blood red eyes searched the room. Her plants had been ruined due to the poisonous gas. Kurenai opened the windows of her classroom, sighing, running her peach colored hand through her curly, dark hair. A knock on the door interrupted her thoughts. "Asuma, what are you doing here?" she questioned the brunette. He lit his cigarette and smiled, saying, "Since when did I have to have a reason to stroll around through the school?" Kurenai lowered her eyes at the teacher and muttered under her breath, "It's no smoking." Asuma walked over to the window beside Kurenai, observing the dead and rotten plants. "I guess the gas destroyed all plant life," he said, as a leaf crumbled up in his hands. Kurenai shook her head silently and softly. Asuma rubbed the back of his head sheepishly and said, "I thought you'd feel that way that's why I got you these." Kurenai looked at the pale pink roses and took them in her own hand, feeling the velvety petals with her slim fingers. "Thanks, Asuma," she whispered to the man as she admired the roses.
Sasuke pulled on his hockey jersey and then sat down on the edge of the dock. He had met Naruto and Sakura there everyday after school to go swimming or fishing it depended. They had been going to Konohagakure Junior High at the time. He smiled remembering how they always ended up late because Sakura wanted to stare at the prestigious Konoha High forgetting that there was another three minutes before they were tardy.
He through a rock into the water watching it skip three times before falling into the depths of the lake. Obsidian orbs stared into the water. Watching his reflection do all of the things he was doing. Picking up another rock, he dropped it onto his reflection watching the ripples disturb the calm waters. He stood. He was going to play at his hockey game even if Sakura didn't show.
A/N: Okay so there is another chapter. The title chapter is the name of an actual band but is also referring to Sakura falling for a guy during chemistry. Ha it's a pun… I despise puns… JK. I need some advice so suggestions are welcome, just don't flame me please. Love you!
