Summary for chapter: First day of classes begin today. But Sakura is late! Someone tampered with her alarm. But who? And who is the Hyuuga Neji? We all know he's Hinata's cousin, but who is he to Tenten?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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:

" 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.

Chapter Four: Hyuuga Neji's back.

Something under the covers shuffled. Sakura slowly opened her eyes and glanced at her alarm clock and the bright green digits read 8:30 am.

Sakura shot right up. She looked at Ino's bed which was all neat and tidy. She pressed the sleep button and it said 7:00 am.

" Why didn't it ring?" she wondered.

She thought of who might have meddled with her alarm clock and unset it. She remembered perfectly well setting her alarm. She washed her face and brushed her teeth, and then set her alarm. She thought hard at who might have done this to her. The first person that came to her mind was Sasuke.

" Uchiha," she said with an evil tone and her eyes squinting.

But she looked back at her alarm and it said 8:33 am.

" Oh no! My class begins in 12 minutes! And I'm not even ready!" she said panicking.

She hurriedly went to the washroom and brushed her teeth, washed her face and dressed up in her Itoshima High uniform. Yes, even in boarding schools in Japan, they still have uniforms.

It was a dark green and black plaid uniform. Her plaid green and black skirt reached up to the tip of her fingertips and a white three fourth polo shirt and a plaid vest over it. It could come with a green bow tie or a green tie. Sakura preferred wearing ties instead of bow ties. Bow ties made her feel like a magician. On the left breast was the Itoshima High symbol. It was white and across it said IHS for Itoshima High School.

She quickly glanced at the clock and it read 8: 40 am. Her eyes widened at the time.

' Oh no! I only have five minutes left!' she said to herself.

She quickly got her Mary Jane shoes and her ID card. She took her books that were on her desk beside her bed. She looked at her homeroom and she was in Hatake Kakashi's class. Room 155.

' Oh great…the pervert teacher,' she said unhappily in her head.

She quickly gathered her things including her keys and went out the door and locked her dorm. She didn't have time to look at her clock because she was in such a hurry. But she knows that it takes her at LEAST five minutes to get to his class. The school was HUGE! So, she had to do what she thought was necessary. She sprinted to her class.

In Kakashi's class

" Sasuke, I still can't believe that we're in the same class," Ino said linking her arms in his.

" You threatened the teachers if they didn't put us in the same class," Sasuke said in his cold harsh tone.

" Haha, well, that's the advantage of being one of the rich families in town," Ino said as she put her nose up in the air.

" Aren't you just happy that we're in the same class?" Ino said smiling.

" No," he said straight up and took out his arm from her grasp.

Tenten, Hinata, Ino, Sasuke, Lee, Naruto, and Shikamaru were all in the same class as Sakura's.

Tenten and Hinata just looked at Ino and Sasuke who were at another table.

Each table was four to a group. Ino gave other people evil glares and looks whenever they would decide to sit in the table she sat at. So, that resorted to tables with groups of five.

" When will she ever give up," Tenten said shaking her head while it was resting on her palm.

The rest of the gang just shrugged.

" I-I wonder where S-Sakura is," Hinata wondered.

" I don't know. But it's not like she'll be late. Kakashi sensei never takes attendance on time," Tenten said.

They all looked at Kakashi and he was just reading this book he always has (I remember saying that someone (lee) stole his books. But he always has a spare/ extra one D). They all just stared at Kakashi and had wide eyed looks.

" Yeah, yeah," Naruto said agreeing.

Ino could see that Ino wasn't in class yet. She smirked and then raised her arm that was free from holding Sasuke.

" Kakashi sensei," she called him.

Kakashi looked up from his book, looking quite annoyed (Raiiyaan: you can tell if someone looks annoyed with one eye…right? Haha)

" Yes, Ino," he said.

" Um, don't you think you should take attendance? It's five minutes passed nine. Classes started 25 minutes ago," Ino, stated.

Kakashi looked at the clock behind him, and Ino was right. It was now 9:10 am. He cleared his throat and put his book away. He stood up and looked for his attendance book. From all the clutter, he couldn't even find an elephant! It was so messy. There were papers, folders, spills from various drinks he drank and many more on his desk. He was a lazy person, but for some reason, he was voted best Scientist, Mathematical, History and various subjects. And he would just substitute that subject for one day and he was already voted best teacher.

Ino on the other hand was getting kind of impatient. She raised her hands back up with an irritated sigh.

" Kakashi Sensei,"

" Yes…INO," Kakashi said quite angry himself.

" Since…I know everyone who's in our class this year, why don't I do the attendance," she offered.

" What ever you say Ino," Kakashi let her handle the problem.

Ino stood up with a smirk and folded her arms.

" Hmm, let's see," she said turning around pretending to take the attendance. " She's here, he's here, they're here, " she said pretending again. " Oh," she said.

" What?" Kakashi asked.

" Oh, ha," Ino said, trying to be innocent. " It's just that, Haruno Sakura isn't here," she said.

" Haruno Sakura? Never heard her name around here before. Is she here?" Kakashi asked.

Ino nodded her head and the door just suddenly slid wide open.

" I'm here!" a tired, panting, sweaty Sakura said.

" Haruno Sakura?" Kakashi asked her.

Sakura nodded her head.

" Tell me why you're late for the first day of class," he asked her.

" It's not like we even did anything," Tenten said hoping Kakashi didn't hear.

But fortunately, he did and he just cleared his throat, somewhat embarrassed.

" Sorry," Sakura said bowing her head. " I got lost. I haven't really memorized where the rooms are in this school," she said.

" I guess you're off the hook this time Sakura. But next time, no excuses," Kakashi said.

Ino sat down and crossed her arms angrily.

" Why doesn't she get in trouble!" Ino said to herself,

Sakura looked around for a seat. The only seats that were available was the one with Ino and Sasuke. She looked else where, hoping there were other seats. But unfortunately, there was none. Kakashi noticed her hesitating to sit with them, so he just sat her down.

" Um, Sakura you can sit with Ino and Sasuke. You too Shikamaru. There are too many people at that table," he said.

" Awe man. I have to walk all the way there. It's so far," he said taking his sweet time to walk there.

He got up, rather slowly, and started walking. Slowly. He took one centimeter for every step he took. Kakashi looked at him and then at the watch he was wearing. He looked up at the ceiling and clucked his tongue. He looked back at Shikamaru and he didn't even look like he moved one bit! Sakura slowly sat down besides Ino watching the very sluggish Shikamaru slowly approaching the table. Very, very, very, very…well, let's just put it this way. He was walking as slow as a snail. Actually, a slug would be faster.

" Hurry up Shikamaru!" Ino yelled at him getting really impatient.

" Hold on! I'm going at my own pace!" he said.

" In your pace it could already be the next millennium," Kakashi said sitting down on his chair reading his book.

" Okay, okay. I'll go faster," he said walking at a normal walking pace.

Sakura looked at him weirdly as he sat down beside her and Sasuke. If he could walk like that, class would've started WAAY long ago.

" Man, I'm tired," he said.

Sakura just sweat dropped.

" Okay, is that everyone?" Kakashi asked looking up from his book.

Just then, the door slid open again and came in a guy. He had brown hair and eyes that looked exactly like Hinata's. His expression was as plain as Sasuke's.

" Ah, Hyuuga Neji, you're back at Itoshima," Kakashi said welcoming him.

" Yeah," he said dryly.

" Take a seat and class will begin soon," Kakashi said.

" I thought class started at 8:45 am?" Neji said recalling his former classes.

" Ah ha," Kakashi said with an embarrassed laugh and scratched the back of his head.

" It does, but you know me. I get caught up," he said smiling behind his mask.

Neji just stared at the weird teacher and walked behind Naruto with a deadly look.

" Oh, hi Neji," Naruto greeted him happily.

" Step away from my cousin," he said with that same look.

" As you say so," Naruto said moving closer to Lee.

Neji sat beside Hinata and gave her a glare. Hinata just looked away from him with a red face.

" H-hi Neji," Tenten said. " N-nice to see you again," she said with a forced smile.

Her heart was broke down when Neji stepped in the classroom. She couldn't take her eyes off of him. Her once broken heart was now slowly healing. But at the same time, seeing him again made her heart cringe.

" Hi," Neji said not even bothering to look at her.

'Ow,' she said in her mind.

Neji didn't even look at her when he said hi. Does he still hate her? But what did she do? She didn't do anything wrong. It was him who was at fault. There seemed to be something in her throat and something was slowly eating away at her stomach. And her heart? She thought it was slowly being rebuilt but in reality it was actually being shattered into millions and millions of pieces.

End of chapter.

Raiiyaan: Hey you guys! Is this considered as a cliffhanger? Haha R&R Please!
