Chapter 2 – Welcome to Grove High School
RING!
RING!
RING!
RING!
Sakura groaned. She sat up and looked at the time. It's just 5:45. School starts at 8:00. She stood up and does some stretching until she is widely awake. She went to the bathroom and did the usual stuff inside. She put on beige cargo pants; black long sleeves and over it is a red blouse with an indescribable imprint on it. She put on a silver necklace with cross on it. It is a gift from her gang. And a black necklace on top of the other. She tied her hair in a ponytail.
She went downstairs to eat her breakfast around 6:30. She saw the trio there eating peacefully.
"Hey, you, sit down there beside Gaara." Sakura did as what she was told. She sat there and ate without any disturbance.
Sakura finished eating and went upstairs to get her bag and other things. Temari followed her and went to her room. "Don't forget what I said to you last week or you'll regret it."
"Fine." Neither did they know that Gaara heard their conversation.
Sakura went downstairs and went directly to the garage when suddenly she remembered that she didn't have her motorcycle.
"Oh great! I forgot! How dumb!" Sakura muttered. She sighed then walked away going to school. She thought that it's still early before school starts so she went to a park she saw weeks ago.
She reached the place and awed at its beauty. The place is full of trees, grasses and flowers. There is a waterfall at the other side leading to a lake, which is full of assorted fish. Beside the lake are stones. There's a single bench facing the whole scenery. She sat at the bench and closed her eyes. She felt the soft cool breeze and she smiled a bit. After a moment like forever, she opened her eyes and she went closer to the falls. She soaked her hands on the falling water but didn't shiver at all. She looked at her wristwatch and saw that it's already 7:15. She headed towards her school.
When she was at the middle of the road, a limousine suddenly appeared and headed towards her direction. Sakura thought that the limousine would stop but she's wrong, the limousine seemed to be heading towards her and doesn't have a plan to stop. She just sighed and quickly made three steps backwards just in time. The people around shouted.
"HEY GIRL! RUN ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROAD!"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! SHE'LL GOING TO DIE!"
"HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLPP!"
"OH NOOOOOO!"
"WATCH OUT!"
And the list went down. They shrieked when the limousine was approaching the pink haired girl. Some closed their eyes while some just watched what would happen.
Sakura on the other hand didn't show any panic when the limousine just passed in front of her 9 inches away. When the limousine completely passed her, she just headed towards the other side of the road and continued walking towards her school. Everyone who witnessed it was shocked and his or her jaws dropped…literally.
She reached her school and went directly inside to the head master's office. She already had a tour of herself so she knew every detail of the school.
'Finally.' She thought. Sakura opened the door and let herself in.
"You must be Ryoma-echizen Sakura. Please to meet you. I'm Tsunade, the headmistress of this school."
"Nice to meet you. Yes, I'm Ryoma-echizen Sakura. I'm here to get my schedule and my locker number."
"Oh yes. Here it is." Tsunade handed her a paper. "Thank you."
"Just wait for your teacher here." Sakura nodded and read the paper.
After a few minutes, the door opened and there revealed silver haired guy with a forehead protector covering his left eye. And a mask covering his nose up to his neck.
"Kakashi, she's Ryoma-echizen Sakura, our new student. Sakura, he's Hatake Kakashi, your teacher." Tsunade said. Sakura nodded.
"Follow me Sakura." Sakura stood up and followed Kakashi who is now outside the room waiting for her. They headed towards a room and Kakashi told her to stop and wait for his signal for her to come in. She just nodded her head.
Kakashi slid open the door and there revealed a bunch of lunatic students roaming around the room. How nice. He walked inside the classroom.
"Good morning." Kakashi said. The students do not seem to notice him.
"Good morning." He said a little louder. No one still noticed him.
"GOOD MORNING." He shouted but then again. No one noticed him and that made him pissed off. He still has an insy-winsy-tiny bit very little patience when the girls suddenly screamed like no tomorrow.
Guess why?
Well, because the ever-so-famous Uchiha Sasuke smirked. Nice reason isn't it.
"SHUT UP." Kakashi yelled very loud. Well, of course everyone shut up. They were shocked to see Kakashi this early not because he yelled. Sakura sweat dropped. 'Yeah right.'
'Ahem' Kakashi faked a cough. "Please take your seats, just like last year." All the students obeyed. A random student raised his hand. "Yes?"
"Why are you early?"
"Oh yeah, I almost forgot. We have a new student, Ryoma-echizen Sakura." Sakura walked in with an impassive expression.
"Good morning." Sakura said.
"What's good in the morning?" A random guy snickered.
"Nothing."
"Then why did you say good morning."
"What do you want me to say bad morning?" Sakura scoffed. "Okay then. Everyone DREADFUL MORNING TO YOU HOPE YOU'LL GET JINX FOREVER." Everyone was well, dumb struck. "Whatever."
"O-kaaaay…hehe…kindly introduce yourself. Name, age, hobbies, likes, dislikes something like that." Kakashi said breaking the silence.
"Ryoma-echizen Sakura, 15, anything, there are tons of things I dislike and I don't really like anything." Sakura finished while tilting her head at the side.
Everyone was silent for a moment absorbing every word she said.
"Oh, by the way, sit beside Uchiha Sasuke there at the back." Eventually, everyone I mean every girl and……gay glared at her. Then she noticed that her cousin Temari was there. She just walk pass them not minding the pathetic glares they're giving to her. Sakura just rolled her eyes.
She sat beside Sasuke wanting to remember where she heard the name Uchiha. Except when her cousin Temari told her. She looked at Sasuke intently and narrowed her eyes.
'Another fan girl. I knew it.' Sasuke sighed. Then it suddenly hit Sakura. She removed her gaze from Sasuke to her desk.
'Yeah, how could I forget that? Uchiha Sasuke, worst enemy of Dark when he was still studying here.' Sakura smirked. 'I could get my revenge for him. I'll just need his approval.'
Sakura faced the teacher with bored ness in her eyes. 'How could this class be so boring?'
After quite some time the bell rang. 'Ah freedom at last.'
Sakura took out her schedule and looked at it. Her next class is Algebra, which is 1 hour. It's hard to admit it but she already took the algebra for fourth year back there in America and passed it with ease. What can I say; she is really excellent in algebra and math. But hates English, because of those stupid rules and parts and all the niggling stuff. Even though she hates English, she's still good in that subject.
The teacher came in and started lecturing stuff. Sakura felt drowsy so she just folded her arms in her desk and bend over her head. Her eyes felt heavy and then she slept.
After an hour Sakura heard the bell ring and then she woke up, her head facing Sasuke.
Sasuke, on the other hand was amazed because of how she slept in the middle of the class with the subject the class concentrated so much.
'I bet she doesn't know the lesson.' Sasuke smirked.
The time already passed until it was lunchtime. Sakura was about to stand when suddenly a group of girls went in front of her desk.
"Let me heap you to the rules, new girl. First, don't ever touch nor lay a finger on our Sasuke-sama and his friends. Second, don't talk to him. Third, don't act cool as if you're cool. And lastly, stay away from them. Got that?" A blond girl named Ino said.
"First, I won't touch him and what did you call him, sama, well that didn't suit very well. An Uchiha shouldn't have a sama after their name because they don't deserve it. Second, don't worry I won't talk to that bastard. And lastly, how can I stay away from that guy if he's my seatmate?"
Well, everyone who heard that scoffed except for the A.I.H. or rather ANTI inhumane human.
"It's not my problem anymore if you can't stay away from him. You can just talk to him or touch him if you signed in our fan club. Here is the form." Ino handed her a paper.
Sakura just looked at it and then back at Ino. It was like a bio data form. "What will I do with that crap?"
"It's not a crap. It's a significant paper."
"It's still a paper."
"Just sign it up and you'll be one of our fan club."
"Who's the leader?"
"Me, of course."
"Oh, hand me the copy." The I.H. was just there staring at them and smirking. Ino handed her the copy.
Sakura smirked when she received the damn paper. She looked at it for a moment then held it on top. She began tearing the paper in to two, four, eight, sixteen, thirty-six and so on until it turned into tiny pieces.
"WHAT DID YOU DO?" Ask an enraged Ino. Everyone once again gasped.
"Blindie blond, I tear the paper."
"I KNOW."
"Then why are you asking."
"What I mean is why did you tear that?"
"It's just gobbledygook and a piece of crap. No big deal." Sakura said emotionless.
"Gobbledy---what?" Temari asked.
"Gobbledygook. Haven't heard of it." Sakura chuckled then stood up holding her bag and walked away leaving every student with a weird face.
Sakura went to the garden. She looked around when unexpectedly she saw a pathway leading to somewhere. Curiosity over powered her so she went there. She walk and walk and walk and walk and walk like until she saw a familiar place. It took her for about 10 minutes to go there.
She saw once again the waterfalls, the trees, flowers and the bench that seemed to have a sentimental value to her. She sat there once again. She opened her lunch box and started to eat a California Maki, salad and sandwich.
After eating, Sakura went back to her school. 'I could take that shortcut.' She headed towards her locker. Sakura's locker number is 113.
Sakura saw that the I.H. was in front of her and it seemed to be, that they are heading towards their locker. When Sakura reached her own locker, she saw that Naruto was leaning against it.
'What should I do? The blondie is leaning on my locker.'
'How about saying 'excuse me' idiot.'
'How about your ass getting kicked by Temari and their whole fan club.'
'Huh, why?'
'Duh. No talking, no touching.'
'Oh, I forgot.'
'Now, who's the idiot, huh?'
'Shut up. Why don't you just kick him? The skunks only said hands and not foot, right?'
'Yeah………… You're smart. I gotta admit it.'
'Why, thank you.'
Sakura walked near Naruto and kicked him at his side causing him to fall. Everyone gasped even the I.H. Sakura pretend that nothing happened and just continued what she's doing. She put her books inside the locker and got different books out.
She closed her locker without even saying a word and walked away. But before she could take any farther she was tackled down by a pissed off Naruto.
"YOU!"
"…" Sakura didn't retort.
"Why the hell did you do that?"
"…"
"Hello, I'm talking to you."
"…"
"Hey answer me."
"…" Still no reply. And that made Naruto annoyed and so are his friends. Naruto got up and so is Sakura. When she was about to walk away, a hand held Sakura's neck and she was pinned to the lockers by Sai. Their faces centimeters apart apart. 'I know I can get any girl to speak with this kind of position.' Sai smirked. Sakura just rolled her eyes as if reading his mind.
"Why aren't you answering?"
"…"
"I'm talking to you, damn it."
"…"
"SPEAK!" His voice was loud enough to echo through the locker room.
"…" Sakura didn't speak but raised her right eyebrow looking at him with a did-you-forget-what-your-fan club-and-I talked-about look.
"Oh." 'I forgot.' Sai thought then released her.
"Stupid." Sakura muttered loud enough for him to hear it.
"What d-" Sai didn't finish what he's saying because the bell rang. Almost everyone headed towards their classroom talking about what happened except for one group.
"Heh, playing hard to get huh? Let's see who'll win?" Neji said.
"Just like Muntare Shiriku. At first, she's playing hard to get, just like Sakura and then later on when she gets your attention AND your money and she gets famous, she'll just fall for you and be a fan girl. They only want your money and looks and fame." Sai said.
"Remember, our goal is to have all the girls adore and worship us. But not to stalk us." Naruto said. "And who will do that for us?" All heads turned to Sasuke.
Sasuke sighed. "Hn."
"We'll take that as a yes." Shikamaru said.
"I bet she'll not fall for him." Gaara suddenly burst out. All of them looked at Gaara.
"And why did you say that? You jealous?" Sasuke smirked.
"No. Just telling you."
"How about making a bet." Naruto grinned. "The first one who makes Sakura talk, as in, in a conversation, here in school, will win $500 from EACH of us."
Everyone thought very hard. "Sure." Sasuke said and the others nodded.
"And that will start tomorrow. Remember, the first one. Got it?"
And so they headed to their classroom.
------------------------------------------------------
At the classroom…
Sakura went directly to her seat before any girl would scold her. But unfortunately, (sigh), a girl came.
"Hey super sized forehead pinky!" A black haired girl with blue eyes said.
"Hey freaky moron!" Sakura countered.
"YOU!" Shiriku said.
"Me what?" Sakura asked innocently with a bored expression.
"Stay away from them."
"From who?" Sakura raised her right brow. Someone went inside the classroom and listened at the conversation.
"From I.H. idiot!"
"Oh, so you're calling them idiots. Well, that's nice." And that someone is the I.H. and no one still noticed them.
"Not them, it's you."
"Really, how come it's me when you said, 'I.H. idiot' huh?"
"It's just that, it's you slut."
"Next time listen to what you're saying you thick headed moron."
"Excuse me?"
"You're excused." Sakura said.
Then someone chuckled. Everyone turned to the voice and found out that it is Naruto. "Nice going, Sakura."
"AAAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH!" Shiriku shouted. "I'm not done with you yet."
"Then come finish."
"Later. Come on girls." Shiriku and her friends went to their seats just in time that the teacher came in.
"Did I miss something?" Kurenai-sensei asked. Actually she heard everything.
"YEAH! YOU MISSED A VERY IMPORTANT INCIDENT!" A random guy said.
"And what it is exactly?"
"WELL! YOU JUST MISS HOW THE NEW GIRL HUMILIATES SHIRIKU IN FRONT OF THE CLASS!"
"Oh. May I know exactly who the new girl is?"
"THE NEW GIRL IS RYOMA-ECHIZEN SAKURA. THE FOREHEAD GEEK FROM AMERICA." Shiriku shouted then laughed with her friends. By the way, Shiriku is beside Sakura.
"Oh yeah atomic mouth. By the way, cover your mouth when talking, you have camel breath." Shiriku scoffed.
"How dare you! I don't have bad breath."
"I only said camel breath not bad breath. Must have interchanged the meaning." Shirku clenched her right fist. 'Act cool, that slut is just testing you.' Shiriku thought.
"Well, forehead geek. I'm not going to argue with a low life."
"You speak too soon."
"And what do you mean?"
"See, you said you'll not gonna talk to me, why now?" Sakura smirked.
"Okay you two stop arguing. You can continue that after my class." Kurenai-sensei said.
Kurenai-sensei lectured about English, Sakura's most hated subject. She is very bored that she just stared at the window. She placed her head on top of her hand.
Sasuke looked at Sakura and smirked. 'I never thought that she will look at me like that. I knew it, she likes me.' Sasuke thought. If ever Sakura heard that, he will surely have a broken nose right now.
'I never thought that this subject would be more boring than there in America.' She sighed.
'Oh, a love sigh. She's in love with me. I will surely win the bet.' Sasuke laughed inside.
After several minutes or years for Sakura…the bell rang. 'Thank you Lord.' And with that, Sakura fixed her things. Her next subject is P.E. She went directly to the gym.
When all the students are there, the teacher spoke up.
"OH MY YOUTHFUL STUDENTS! THERE WILL BE NO P.E. CLASS TODAY. SINCE YOU HAVEN'T RECEIVED YOUR P.E. UNIFORMS." Gai-sensei shouted.
"What shall we do?" Naruto asked.
"You can do anything you want. It's called, 'youth's free time in Gai's class. HAHAHAHAHAHA!"
Everyone sweatdropped. 'Anything we want to do. That's great. I can go home, get my money and buy a new motorcycle.' Sakura thought. While the I.H.'s fan club are thinking about…
'What should I do, so Sasuke will notice me?'
'What should I do so Neji will notice me?'
'What should I do so Gaara will notice me?'
'What should I do so Shikamaru will notice me?'
'What should I do so Sai will notice me?
'What should I do so Naruto will notice me?' A light bulb began to appear on the girl's head. 'I'll give him some ramen. But where can I get those?'
While Sakura, well, she's now heading towards the door. Gai noticed this. "YOU! STOP! WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING?" Everyone stopped what he or she is doing.
Sakura looked back. "Home." Sakura answered bored stiff. "AND WHEN DID I SAY YOU CAN GO HOME?"
"Well, you clearly said that we could do ANYTHING. So, I'm planning to go home. After this class is dismissal, right?" Sakura glared at him.
"Yeah. Sure. You can go home now. Okay." Gai said while rubbing the side of his face with a hanky. Sakura walked off. Everyone returned to what they are doing.
"That girl. She only wants to get the attention of the boys."
"Yeah."
"What a bitch."
"A slut, you say."
"We have to do something."
"Yeah."
"I think, I've seen her before." Ino suddenly burst out.
"Where?"
