Typical High School Story

Chapter Two: Confessions?

SLAM!

Sasuke slammed the door shut before he stalked to his seat. His face distorted by smoldering anger. Naruto blinked up from his meal when he noticed the change in his friend. Something was off that much he knew. Gulping down another mouth full, he rubbed any leftovers onto his black jacket sleeve.

Naruto had been Sasuke's friend since grade school. Since then, he has learned how to avoid major mood swings. Sometimes though, the two just needed to beat the crap out of each other for whatever reason. It was a monthly event that ever student found themselves attending.

The boy waited a few minutes. Let him cool to a simmer before testing the waters. Naruto walked over food in hand. Each step was soft and maneuvered around his other class mates.

"Hey Bastard what's up? The new girl turned you down or something?" Bending down he leaned his elbows onto Sasuke's desk.

"Gang meeting. We have a slight problem we need to get out of this school." The other boy didn't even brother to look at Naruto. His mind else where, planning -plotting. Dark locks of blue-black hair fell over black eyes.

Naruto just blinked at that statement. It has been a long time since Sasuke wanted to haze another student. The last time was in middle school and that hadn't been too pretty.

"Who is it?" It sounded way too sheepish for Naruto, but something was seriously off.

"Haruno." Simple and to the point there was no need to hide their target.

"Hey wait a minute Sasuke! She is new here what the heck did she do?" The blond stood to his full height. His hair bounced slightly from the sudden movement and maybe the sort of gel he used.

"I'll tell you what she did Uzumaki DARLING!" A loud charismatic voice called out from the doorway.

The whole class froze at the mere recognition of that voice. In the doorway was their Student Council President, Shibuya Yukito. Dressed in the white version of the school uniform he stood about 6 feet even. Long blond locks were pulled back into a tight pony tail. Yukito stood out like a sore thumb, however was fairly attractive.

If you took away his personality that was.

He pushed up his glasses with the ever present fan, Yukito smirked evilly.

"S-s-Shibuya..." The Uzumaki boy inched away slowly. Blue eyes darted around for a possible escape. This man since day one had been infatuated with Naruto. The blond however did everything in his power to run the other way.

"Come, Come Uzumaki! I don't bite… hard. Hinata-chan!" Yukito called out. A small first year girl stood at his side. Her white eyes were downcast in a shyly manner. In her arms protectively were three or two folders. Naruto recognized her from class 1-A.

"Please give Uchiha the bills from last week's fight. Now, you know that you-know-who is coming back so please don't try to damage the school too much. I need the next President to actual have a school when I leave this year."

"hn…" Sasuke's dark eyes looked exasperated at the president's antics.

"That's the spirit! Now I must see Lee, we have to get some more spirit pumped into this school! Filled with such Youthful people and no spirit! Right Hinata-chan!" Pumping his fists into the air the president marched out chanting something about school spirit.

"R-right sir!" Hinata placed a folder of papers onto Sasuke's desk before darting after her senpai.

"How… did someone like him ever get elected." The blond stated in amazement. Naruto poked at his food before finishing it off.

"Black mail."

"How did you know?"

"I asked."

"oh…. anyways, what did Sakura-chan do? Turn you down? Because Yea, know I want to date her. She is so beautiful and smart too!" He had the 'idiots in love' look written all over his face. His lips were slightly curled in an upward smile and eyes were glazed over.

"I will tell you at the meeting."

"Yes captain" Naruto bit back in response. The boy pulled out his cell to make the calls.

--

Sakura slipped into the class room right before the lunch bell rang. Her brain was too rattled to really pay attention to the last classes of the day. Luckily though, she hadn't had time to join any clubs and sports.

From here she went to work and then home. Now if only time would speed up a few notches.

In an attempt to ignore the Uchiha's threats, Sakura refused to look anywhere in his general area. Recon was needed before any plans were made; this was after all war now. The challenged was made and she accepted.

He wasn't going to best her.

War was already declared and she wasn't going to roll over and play dead.

/that's right! You go girlfriend! Who cares if he is totally hot and the kind of male you would love to date/

'SHUT UP!'

"Haruno please read the next page"

/sure, sure you tell me to shut up now, but when you need a witty come back? You come to me, I feel so used…/

'… you are me…'

"Haruno?"

/maybe, or you are just going nuts. Maybe that's why your father let you go to Tokyo…./

"I SAID SHUT U-… oh… the answer is….." The whole class broke out into humiliating laughter at the out burst. With a flustered look on her face Sakura absorbed the laughter, ego toke a huge dent the size of a truck. A bright red blush streaked across her face as she lowered her head.

"After school Haruno, an hour long detention, understood?"

"…Yes ma'am"

When the class calmed down, the teacher called another person to read. Sakura just licked her wounded pride and toned out the rest of the class. Again, she made a spectacle of herself, what happened to lying low under the radar?

Clearly it went on vacation to Panama.

-- After school

Sakura sighed as she eyed Uzumaki approach her. This idiot did not know when to give up, no means no. His friend however vanished already gone and most likely on his way home by now.

"Say Sakura…"

It was the first time she actually looked at the boy. Blond hair was natural oddly enough or maybe he dyed it too much so the roots would never show. Nevertheless, it was his blue eyes that made her think of it as natural. In the black jacket and pants his hair and eyes stood out the most. Even if he didn't button up the jacket all the way the clash of light and dark didn't look all that bad.

"Haruno." Sakura quickly corrected him as she relaxed a bit in her seat. Her cherry blossom colored hair was bound by a messy make shift braid with no hair tie.

"Sakura, Hey what did you do to make Sasuke so…" The boy tried to find the words. He played with his spiked hair nervously.

"Being born I guess. I told you call me Haruno." Sakura pressed the subject again, since when did she give this guy permission to use her first name? That was saved for close friends, not new comers.

"Okay Sakura," There was a twitch in her right eye again, but in the end it was a lost cause and pointless battle. "Well I gotta go, say umm.. don't do anything I wouldn't do!" With those parting words Naruto left a bewildered Sakura. He sent her a small wave good by and disappeared behind the sliding door.

"I don't even know you… so how I can do that?" She asked in bemusement.

"Sakura are you talking to yourself again?" The voice was soft but heavily laced with sarcastic humor.

Sakura's head shot up and turned towards the door. Dressed in the school's navy blue skirt, and sailor top stood a person Sakura knew from grade school. Blond hair tied up in a high pony tail; the student smirked smugly at Sakura.

"Ino-pig…"

"Forehead-chan."

The two broke out into a grin. Sakura stood and walked over to the familiar girl. Both shared a friendly hug and stood to look at each other.

"Mother told me you were coming here, you're working at the flower shop right?" Ino asked.

"Yea, do me a favor; tell her I might be late got a detention. I have to wait for my home room teacher to show up so I can start it." Sakura raked a hand through her hair undoing the loose braid.

"Wait a minute, you got Kakashi; as your home room teacher right?" Ino shifted her weight form one foot to another for a moment and hoisted her black bag over one shoulder.

"Yea Why?" A few unexplained fears fluttered in her stomach.

"You will be waiting for a long time best to go when the hour is up." Her friend had a knowing smile plastered all over her lips. "I got to go, see you later Forehead!" A wave good bye and the friends parted ways.

Sakura just chewed over Ino's words, 'how late could he be?'

Three hours later

"GUH I AM LEAVING!" Slamming her palms down onto the desk Sakura stood. As luck would have it, her teacher waltzed in. Eyes ablaze with irritation Sakura stormed to the door.

"Oh sorry, you see…" The teacher hoisted his hands up in a mock surrender. His one eye glued to hers.

"Save it… I am too tired to listen to it." The response was muttered and filled with irritation; now she understood why the blond shouted at their teacher. A slam of the sliding door and she was gone.

As she left, Sakura swore she saw that lazy good for nothing man smiled.
--

Sasuke sat on his plush expensive couch, the gang was here waiting for his orders. Yes, he relished in the fact that most people saw him as a god. Just the mere thought made a bitter sweet smile appear on his lips.

"This meeting is really troublesome Sasuke, what is it?" Asked Shikamaru one of the laziest geniuses you would ever meet. The only reason why someone would find Shika at such a crummy school was that he failed every other entrance exam by showing up late.

Chouji Shika's sidekick since grade school munched on a bag of ever present Potato chips. Where Shikamaru went Chouji followed that was how things work with the two and no one complained.

The third member of the five sat quietly in his corner. Natural rust colored (blood to some) hair was spiked up in the normal fashion. A Tattoo with the Kanji meaning 'love' stood out on his pale skin and dark rings of black surrounded his dull jade eyes. No one ever questioned his looks. Maybe the reason was most people took one look at him and ran for their very lives.

Naruto sat beside his friend. "Well you see a girl turned him down and he is pissed off and wants us to make her life hell." He folded his arms behind his head with, clearly satisfied with his explanation.

"That isn't it idiot." Sasuke hissed back at his so called friend.

"Girls are troublesome." Shika muttered as he starched his nose some.

Chouji gave his response but it couldn't be heard between grabbing and putting more chips into his mouth.

"Then what is it?" Gaara growled. Both he and Sasuke had a fragile bond of friendship and the only reason why he was even in this 'gang' was all thanks to Naruto. Gaara and Sasuke rivalry spanned across two years. The two boys tried to out best the other in everything and anything.

This year instead of another enemy in high school, the two joined forces. Like anything between the two, it would be most likely short lived.

Dark eyes narrowed and shot a glare towards the red head. "The girl is… a problem. She is a yakuza heiress. Meaning she could have came to spy on any of us. She must be removed."

Silence fell over the room. The decision made.

--

"Thank you! Please come again!" After the last customer left Sakura drop down onto the stool. She was dressed in a simple blue shirt and black pants along with a typical brown color apron. Pink hair was neatly braided into two tight braids.

"How is it going Forehead?" Ino walked out with a smile on her face and two cups of tea. She handed on to Sakura with a smile.

'Thanks… it's alright; hey I got a question… What do you know about Uzumaki and Uchiha? Both are in my class." Blowing on her tea to cool it, Sakura took a sip only to jerk away with a slightly burnt tongue.

"Just that Uchiha is a sex god. I heard rumors of him having sex with any female pretty enough and had long hair." The blond girl gave a happy sigh and touched her long locks.

"… really I want to chop my hair off suddenly."

"Oh come on! He is hot every girl wants him. A fight broke out a few days ago with a second year and first year because of him. The man walks on water." Ino took a sip of her tea. She leaned against the cool glass of the refrigerator and smiled at Sakura.

"Must be a shallow puddle, because I see nothing special other then he is a sick bastard." Sakura bit out bitterly. After a few more cooling breath, Sakura tried the tea again.

"Whoa hold up a sec, what happened?" Putting her cup down Ino walked over to Sakura to rest a concern hands on shoulders.

"Don't ask… its way too complicated. I just know he is going to be gunning for my head; I just got to out last him that's all…Not that hard….really…" Sakura downed the rest of her tea not caring if it burned all the way down.

"Sakura this isn't good, Sasuke is known for his looks just as well as he is known for ruining peoples lives. I heard he even caused a guy to kill himself in middle school." Trying to capture her friend's attention Ino stood in front of her. "Listen to me, suck up to him and fix whatever you did wrong…" Her voice sounded distressed.

"I will not! He really hates me just for living I am serious about this Ino! Well its time to close shop." Sakura stood up quickly and began to clean up. The movements here hurried and disorganized. All sakura wanted was for this line of conversation to stop.

"… alright here I will help." Came Ino's defeated response.

The two worked together in silence until came the time to part ways. "See you tomorrow Ino-pig"

"Like wise, you can sit with my group tomorrow k? Tenten would love to have another girl at the group anyways." Ino smiled, "Later Forehead"

Stuffing her hands into her jacket pockets, Sakura walked to the train station. Little did she know, just a few blocks away another unexpected surprise was going to happen.
