Summary for chapter: Sakura has only been in the school for about two hours or so and she already had made an enemy and an admirer? As she tries to fumble with the overly superbly dupery nice Rock Lee and the stupid jerky Uchiha Sasuke, she needs to figure out how to not be afraid of her freaky room mate, Yamanaka Ino.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Haruno Sakura was sent to yet another school. It's the same old routine again. You meet friends; get to know them, then before school ends you leave them. That's how Sakura's life was. She couldn't help it that her father is a diplomat. But one school made all the difference. That one school made her life change.
Uchiha Sasuke was the oh so famous one in Itoshima High. He was the Prince. He had a fan club of his own. But he was surprised that one girl didn't think he was all that great. She even started a war. Well, that part was mutual. But he didn't know that this girl would change his whole out look on life. Well...not really but she did change him somehow...
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto...Too bad…haha. Oh yeah and this is an A/U.

Recap:
" Uchiha Sasuke?" she said his name.
Sakura just nodded.
" Sasuke Uchiha is my..." Ino paused and looked at her.
Chapter Three: Our dear Lee, our poor Sakura and our Sasuke the Jerk (:
" Fiancée," Ino continued.
Sakura didn't know what to say. Her mouth just dropped open.
" Shocking isn't it? Me, having Uchiha Sasuke, bad ass of the school, cool guy in town, as my fiancée," she said looking down.
Sakura went weird by Ino's actions. One minute Ino's a happy go lucky girl. Then the next she looks like she's a killer. The other time, she looks like a snob and now she looks like a helpless little child.
" But you know what, Sakura?" she said breaking her thoughts. " I wouldn't have anyone else for a fiancée," she said as if in a dreamy voice. " Because Uchiha Sasuke is my first and only love," Ino said. " No other guy can beat him. Only he is the one why I still live my life," she continued.
Soon, they heard a knock on the door. Ino went to open it and saw Hinata.
" Hi Hinata," Ino greeted her.
" T-Tenten was wondering…if you g-guys would like to c-come join dinner with us," she studdered.
Ino looked back at Sakura.
" Would you like to have dinner with us, Sakura?" Ino asked.
Sakura thought for a while. She didn't want to be alone with the insane, mood changing Ino. So, having dinner with Hinata and Tenten would be better.
" Sure," she replied.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Soon, the four were at some hang out called Chill. (Raiiyaan: I know I know…Lame name haha but I couldn't think of anything else!) Sakura hasn't been to anything like that. Sure, she's been in fancy restaurants but never a place where you can just hang out with your friends.
She noticed that most of the students of Itoshima were there.
" So, Sakura, what brings you to Itoshima?" Tenten asked while skimming through the menu.
" Well, my dad is a diplomat. And I've been traveling with him all my life. I came here because I was beginning to be homesick. And my dad now lives in Taiwan, but I'm staying here," Sakura said explaining.
" W-Why didn't you c-come with your dad?" Hinata asked.
" Oh," Sakura said.
She didn't exactly know how to say it to them. She didn't want to say that she grew up not knowing her own mother. Yes, Sakura has lived with her dad most of her life. Her mom left them when she was only about a year old. She never asked why her mom wasn't there when she was growing up. She just thought that her mom would come back soon. But as she grew older, she realized that her mom would never come back.
" Sakura?" Tenten asked as she looked up from the menu.
" Um… I just want to be back in Japan," she lied.
Ino just sat quietly beside Sakura and she had noticed. She thought Ino would go back to that happy face, but she turned out to be having a different mood again.
" Have you guys thought of what you wanted?" A waitress asked with a paper and pen ready in her hand.
" Umm…we'd like…two large pepperoni pizza's, two cheese pizza's, two meat lovers and one Super bowl of Ramen," Tenten ordered.
The waitress had left and Sakura's face was shocked at the order that Tenten had made.
" You guys can eat 6 large pizza's and a Super bowl of Ramen?"
Hinata giggled.
" No, Sakura. B-but Naruto can," she said smiling.
" So, Hinata, you've invited them too, huh?" Ino said seeming cheered up.
Hinata just blushed and looked down. Sakura on the other hand, didn't know what they were talking about.
" Them? Who's them?" she asked.
" Them," Tenten pointed at the large group of people – wait, cross that out – guys walking towards their table.
Sakura's eyes widened. It was the same group of boys she had seen earlier.
" You?" Sakura said when Sasuke stood in front of their table.
" Who'd you expect? Santa Clause?" he said with his same expression.
" So, you've already met our Uchiha Sasuke," Tenten said.
Sakura just continued giving him the evil eye.
" Sasuke, you can sit here. Right next to me," Ino smiled pulling Sasuke down to sit on the chair beside hers.
He didn't argue and just let her pull him down. Naruto pulled up a chair beside Hinata and she instantly blushed. Sakura could see that Hinata obviously had a thing for that yellow haired boy. Shikamaru pulled up a chair beside Sasuke and Lee pulled one close to Sakura. A little too close. Lee just sat there looking at Sakura in a daze. Sakura looked back at him with an uneasy look on her face.
" Did you guys order yet?" Naruto asked.
" Yeah, we got you your Super Ramen too," Tenten, said.
" Oh," Naruto said. " Then I guess I won't need the dozen ramen I'd brought," he said showing everyone. " They're different flavors," he smiled.
Everyone just sweat dropped and Hinata was the only one to giggle.
Meanwhile, Lee was busy STILL staring at Sakura. Sakura was feeling a bit awkward because of him. Whenever she would slide away from him, he would always slide closer. That just scared her. Sure, she was flattered that someone had already shown interest in her. But did he have to be so…creepy? (Sorry to all the Lee fans. That's just how he is in my story. Sorry again haha.)
Ino saw what Lee was doing to Sakura.
" Lee, would you cut it out? You're scaring Sakura. Give her some space," Ino giggled.
Everyone turned to look at the two and saw how the two were sitting so close to each other. Sakura and Lee just blushed and Lee slowly moved away (you know, anime style?).
" If I'm as smart as I think," Naruto said. " I think coconut head has something for bubblegum hair there," he said.
" Umm, Naruto? Her name is Haruno Sakura," Hinata said quietly but loud enough for everyone at the table to hear.
" What a gay name," Sasuke mumbled.
Sakura heard him and felt that she needed to defend herself.
" Oh, and Uchiha Sasuke is such a cool name," Sakura said offended.
" It's better than being named after a flower or tree," Sasuke said.
" At least I'm not such a je - - - "
" Here's your order," the waitress said putting down all the 6 pizzas.
Naruto's eyes grew wide at the site of all the food.
Soon, the waitress put down his bowl of Super Ramen in front of him (he was known as the ramen king in that place). As soon as the bowl touched the table, he quickly grabbed his chopsticks and stuffed it all like a hungry pig. He ate it like a hungry lion that never ate for weeks! Like a hungry snake eating a poor helpless mouse! Like a fat kid eating chocolate! Like a - - well, you get my point. (Raiiyaan: by the way, not offense to fat people. I got that from the G-unit song haha. No offence. We're in peace holds up the peace sign with fingers). Everyone just watched him devoir the poor ramen.
" What?" Naruto asked clueless.
" Dope," Sasuke said.
" Shut up Uchiha, I'm hungry," he retorted.
" We don't call him the Ramen King for nothing," Tenten said.
Lee was the first to grab for the pizza. He took one slice of each. He held the three pizza slices to Sakura's face.
" W-which one do you like? Cheese? Pepperoni? Or maybe Meat Lovers'?" he said eyeing her intently.
Sakura just looked at him wide eyed.
" Uh…Thanks, Lee…But I'll grab my own…" she said as she reached for a cheese pizza.
" Mental note to self, Sakura likes cheese pizza," he said aloud.
Only Sakura was able to hear him because everyone was talking to each other.
Sakura felt really uncomfortable because of how Lee was treating her. He was doing everything for her. Pouring her drink, wiping her cheek because of a pizza sauce, everything!
" Listen, Lee. I'm not a kid anymore. I'm a full grown 16 year old teen. I don't need your help for every little thing. I'll do fine on my own," Sakura said quite annoyed at him now.
" Oh," Lee said as his face dropped. " Okay," he said with a force smile. " Anything for you,"
Sakura just stared at him weirdly and shook it off. She was about to reach for the last cheese pizza when someone had already gabbed it. She looked at the person who grabbed it and saw Sasuke eating it.
" Hey, you took my pizza," Sakura said angrily.
" Doesn't say your name on it," he said smirking.
Sakura just sighed angrily.
" It's okay Sakura, I'll order you another one," Lee said raising his hand up for a waiter.
But Sakura pulled his hand down and said,
" No, Lee, It's okay. I'm fine. I think I'll survive,"
Lee annoyed Sakura. She thought he was nice. But a bit too nice. Not her type of guy.
" Okay guys, we're going to have to split the bill," Tenten said.
Sakura reached for her pocket to only find that she had nothing there. She must have left her wallet in her dorm.
" Uh…" Sakura said embarrassed.
Everyone else was trying to figure out how much it'd cost.
" 3.50 for each pizza. That would be…" Tenten said thinking.
" 21. Plus tax is 23.73," Shikamaru said.
Tenten looked at him and did it on her handy calculator she always brings (raiiyaan: don't ask why…she just does).
" You're…right," Tenten said shocked at Shikamaru.
All he did was shrug.
" 23.73 divided into eight," Tenten said.
" 2.96 each," Shikamaru said.
Once again, Tenten checked and he was right.
" Shikamaru…how do you do math so fast?" Ino asked.
All he did was shrug.
" Okay guys. 2.96," Tenten said collecting the money.
" Umm…you guys? Sorry but…I forgot my wallet in my dorm," Sakura said embarrassed.
" It's okay! I'll pay for your share!" Lee offered.
" T-thanks Lee. Don't worry. I'll pay you back," Sakura said finally grateful for having him around.
" She can't even pay for pizza. Pathetic," Sasuke said passing his money to Tenten.
" Who said I couldn't?" Sakura said getting angrily. " I just left my money back in my dorm,"
" Tell someone who cares," Sasuke said harshly.
" Waiter!" Naruto screamed while waving his hands frantically.
" Dobe!" Sasuke said covering his ears, along with everyone else. " Why don't you tone it down!" he yelled at him.
" Hey, at least they can hear me," he said.
" Enjoyed your meal?" the waitress asked picking up the money.
" It was delicious!" Naruto said.
The waitress just smiled at him. She turned to Sasuke and winked at him, took the money that was on the table and walked away.
" What was that all about?" Ino asked jealous.
" What?" Sasuke said, as he didn't know what she was talking about.
" Why did that girl wink at you?" she said getting angry.
" How should I know? I don't know her," Sasuke said telling the truth.
" Oh sure," Ino said sarcastically.
" Uh, how about we all head back to our dorms?" Tenten said before the bickering and shouting of Ino and Sasuke would start.
" Wow, Ino has a jealousy problem," Sakura thought to herself.
" H-hey," Sakura said trying to interrupt Sasuke and Ino's quarrel. " Guys?" she said.
" What!"
Both Ino and Sasuke looked over at her with their angry expressions.
" Umm," she said standing up. " You guys, thanks for taking me out and hanging out with me," she said.
Ino smiled sweetly at Sakura.
" No problem, Sakura," she said.
" Who said I wanted to hang out with you?" Sasuke said obviously still mad.
Sakura was about to say something but he stood up and already walked away.
" Sasuke," Ino said following him.
" Go away," Sasuke replied as he was walking faster.
" Sasuke," Ino said, as she didn't sound angry anymore.
The group just watched as the two left still fighting and shouting.
" Troublesome," Shikamaru said still sitting down.
" I-I hope Ino will be all right," Hinata said worried.
Sakura was just confused by the while scene she just saw. She really didn't get Ino's personality at all. And she had her for a roommate. Oh what fun.
