Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto! Blah blah blah!
Thanks to all who reviewed!
She stepped into the car and took her seat as the car strolled down the street. She looked outside the window in childish excitement. She sat on her knees and looked at the many different people outside. Some looked nice and some looked plain weird while some were quite…interesting. She looked around and saw a couple...er…um…lets not go deep with the details. She blushed and turned her head away.
'wow! There are so many different kinds of people! I have never been to this part of the city! I still can't believe mom and dad enrolled me into this school and I still can't believe that Naruto was the one who convinced them! This is so exciting!'
Her driver looked at her and smiled warmly at the little girl. Remembering how overprotected she was, no wonder she was this excited. Like a little child going to her first day of school. He saw the little girl grow up in that house. She was so restricted. So innocent of how the world really is. It could hurt her a lot and it could help her become stronger. She's fragile, really. Like the leaves of the tree she is named after, Sakura.
"Ano…Kenkaro-san!" she said timidly bringing him back to reality.
He smiled. "Hai Sakura-chan…er…-san"
"please drop the formalities Kenkaro-san! After all you have been with me since I was born! I don't like it when you call me Sakura-san and I know you don't like to call me that either!"
He just smiled warmly at the little girl which he thought of as the daughter he never had. Sakura smiled back.
"listen, I want to walk home not by car so please don't bother coming to pick me up. I want to do a bit of exploration! Alright! Oh and don't tell father okay!"
"Sakura-chan I must protest! A pretty girl like you must not walk alone! Who knows what may happen to you!"
"who said I would be walking alone! Naruto will walk me home!" she half-lied. She wasn't sure but that is what she has in mind and hopefully Naruto will walk her home.
"are you sure? Naruto-kun will walk you home? If Naruto-kun will walk you home that is okay I guess. He is a strong boy and I know he is dependable even though he is not very…er…bright!" he said hesitantly.
Sakura giggled at Naruto being not bright. 'How true!' But she quickly stopped when she heard Kenkaro's unsure tone. "don't worry Kenkaro-san! Thank you so much! You are great! Oh here is my school! Wish me luck!"
She quickly got out of the car feeling slightly guilty for lying to Kenkaro. Well she did half lie. She wasn't 100 sure that she will be walking alone. 'ah forget it! Sakura! Today is the first day for you in this new school! A new adventure awaits you! Come on! Seize the day and make new friends!'
She walked into the school unaware of what today has in store for her. Unaware that today might change her life forever!
"KAWAII!"
"CUTE!"
"WHAT A BABE!"
All that shouting came from the senior class 3-D. A very unique class. Boys were head over heals in love as quick as lightening over the new girl. And that new girl happens to be none other but Sakura. Sakura on the other hand was as red as a tomato. The teacher was introducing her but the introduction so far is unsuccessful.
'please stop staring and calling me cute!' Sakura had her head down and she was fiddling with her fingers. She wanted to be out of the attention so bad!
As if the heavens have heard her plea the door was slammed open and a noisy blond entered distracting the entire class. "eh heh he! Sorry I am late Kakashi-sensei! You see a…"
"save it Naruto! Geez! This is like the millionth time! I have too much influence on you kids! March to your desk! And Sakura," his voice lost its sharp tone. "Your seat is near the window on the second row."
Sakura immediately went to her seat. There were two empty seats so she chose the one nearest to the window. Boys sighed when she walked and girls glared.
'what a way to start my first day of school! Sheesh! sigh but Naruto saved me once again and that idiot didn't realize it!' she smiled towards Naruto and he winked and gave her a thumbs up which earned a few sighs from the girls and glares from the guys.
"Naruto! Go to your desk!" Kakashi told him.
"Ok!"
Sakura giggled. 'he is such a goof! A lovable goof!'
Naruto's desk happened to be the desk in front of her directly.
"so Bastard isn't here today! He always ditches school!" Naruto said in exasperation.
"who is um…Bas…"she blushed at using such foul language. Naruto took the hint and smiled at her.
"he is the schools delinquent. The girls are crazy for him cuz he is soooooo handsome!" he paused to make a gagging sound which was pretty funny but Sakura was too curious to laugh. "you are in his seat but sit wherever you like because he rarely comes to school! And I do mean rarely. So Sakura-chan! I hope you like this school! And I-"
"enough chit-chat you two." The teacher scolded mildly.
60 minutes later…
Bbbbbbbbrrrriiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnngggggggggggg…
"Aaah! Finally done from boring Physics!" Naruto yelled out excitedly while stretching out.
Sakura giggled. "Baka Naruto! You don't like anything that has numbers or letters!"
Naruto quickly defended himself. "Not all letters Sakura-chan!"
"oh! So what letters do you like?"
Naruto grinned cheekily. "I only love 5 letters but they have to be in a certain order!"
"really! So what are they?"
"I thought you already knew Sakura-chan!" he sighed and then smiled. "they are R-A-M-E-N!"
"RAMEN!" Sakura laughed out loud. "I should have known!"
"but I also like another set of letters!" he turned serious.
"what is it this time? I-C-H-I-R-U-K-A!" she said sarcastically.
"no…" he said slowly. He brought his head closer to Sakura's forehead until it was almost touching. "its S-A-K-U-R-A!"
Sakura blushed. Naruto smiled.
Then he turned to leave. 'here it comes…1, 2,3…' he thought slyly.
'8,9, NOW!'
"Naruto! YOU LIKE RAMEN MORE THAN ME! BAKA NARUTO!" She yelled which caused many heads to turn but she ignored them all.
"GOTTA GET TO BIOLOGY! SEE YA IN CLASS! WE ARE LATE!" he pretended to not hear her and quickly dashed through the door.
"OH NO YOU DON'T! COME BACK BAKA!" she ran after him but she accidentally forgot her notebook. She ran out of class leaving a chaotic bloody fight as the boys all ran to get her book. They all wanted a chance to meet her and the book is the perfect chance they'll ever get.
Soon the fight ended and the bell rang. All the boys left to their respective classes and the winner stood alone staring at the pink notebook. His mouth curved into a smile. "Sakura-chan…I'LL MAKE THE FIRE OF YOUR YOUTH GLOW AND SHINE! WITH ME THE BEAUTIFUL GREEN BEAST OF KONOHA HIGH! ROCK LEE!"
30 MINUTES LATER (IN THE MIDDLE OF BIOLOGY CLASS)
'this is boring! And on top of that I lost my notebook! This is great!' Sakura thought while chewing on the end of her pen. She already knew what the teacher was discussing. She glanced at Naruto and saw he was sleeping. She smiled then sighed. She looked at the clock. ' 30 more minutes to go! What a long class!'
The pink haired girl was unaware of the lovesick stare she was getting from a certain winner. Lee was staring at Sakura with heart shaped eyes. He clutched the pink notebook harder as he was summoning his courage to give this notebook to the pink haired girl after class.
30 MINUTES LATER (END OF BIO CLASS)
Sakura was heading outside to her next class when someone called her name. she turned around only to see the most scariest person in the world! She quickly turned to run until he caught up to her.
"Sakura-san! Hi! I am Rock Lee! Want to go out on a date with me? I will protect you until the day you die!" he smiled a blinding smiled and struck a pose with his thumbs up.
'yuck! What's wrong with this watermelon peel?'
"sorry, no." she told him.
"oh…" he bent his head down in rejection. "here is your notebook I found it on the floor."
"oh thanks Lee-san! I have been looking for it!"
"does that mean you will go out with me?" he smiled eagerly.
"no!"
"oh!"
"well see you later Lee-san and thank you very much!" she turned and left the class.
"don't worry Sakura-san! I will make the fire of your youth glow and shine with me!" he left the class. "…I hope…"
AFTER MANY CLASSES ITS LUNCHTIME….( ONE MORE CLASS AND ITS DISMISSAL)
"Sakura-chan!" Sakura turned to face the source of the voice. She turned to see a girl with long yellow hair that is tied in a pony tail and clear blue eyes. She is very pretty. Sakura noticed that when the girl passed, several boys drooled.
"Sakura-chan!" the girl said again while dashing through the crowd. Sakura smiled shyly. No one ever dashed through a crowd for her before and called out her name. Naruto is an exception of course.
The girl finally got through the crowd and approached Sakura while extending her hand.
"hi! I am Yamanaka Ino! You can call me Ino-chan!" the girl stuck out her tongue cheekily and made a peace sign. Sakura giggled.
Sakura took her extended hand into a firm grip and shook it sincerely. She was excited to have a friend and a very pretty one at that! And the girl seemed very sweet and kind but also very cheeky.
"Hi! I am Haruno Sakura! You can call me Sakura-chan!" she said cheekily mimicking Ino's moves. Ino laughed and took her hand pulling her to her table.
"come on Sakura-chan! I want you to meet my friends! Tenten, Temari, and Kin!"
Everyone waved and smiled at her except one, Kin! (a/n: if you would recall, in the anime- I don't know about the manga I didn't read it!- that Kin was the one who held Sakura's hair in the chunnin exam and hated her because she thought Sakura is vain in keeping her hair long then Sakura cut it! So I thought I would include that! I think it would be cool! Oops! On with the story!)
"H-hello! I am Haruno Sakura nice to meet you!"
"come on Sakura-chan! Don't be shy!" Ino smiled at her.
'I wouldn't be nervous if it wasn't for Glaring-Kin-san here!'
Sakura laughed nervously. She sat down when Ino sat. the girls started asking her questions and she answered. It was nothing personal so she didn't need to tell them of her restricted life. It was really just about her last school. They talked and time passed. She was enjoying herself so much that she forgot about the time.
BBBBBRRRRRRRIIIIIIINNNNGGGGG
"aaah hell! Lunch is over! Too bad! I has such a good time!" Tenten exclaimed.
"yeah! I had such a good time with you guys!" said Sakura.
"yeah well, all good things have to come to an end! See ya in class Sakura-chan!" Ino winked at Sakura and walked to class.
"we all are in the same class right?" Tenten asked.
"yea." Kin replied sourly.
"great!"
"that's awesome!" Sakura exclaimed happily. 'speaking of classes and together, I didn't see Naruto during lunch at all! That's weird! I thought he would be the first to be here! Weird!'
"so what class do we have now?" asked Temari.
"P.E.!" Ino told her.
"Great! I love Physical Education!" stated Sakura excitedly. The girls giggled except the glaring Kin.
'Geez! What's wrong with this girl? She keeps on glaring at me! what did I do to make her mad at me!'
"c'mon! lets go girls!" Ino dragged the girls to their next class.
