Thanks for reviewing…
Okay, first I would like to say hi. HI! Okay done. Let see, then I gotta explain for being late in updating. I am not really sorry because I had many things but I do feel guilty. I don't want to rush in updating also because then I wouldn't be writing comfortably and when I don't write comfortably, my writing sucks! So there...
Okay…National Day is on the 25th of February and Liberation Day is on the 26th! They follow each other! Isn't that cool! I love February! My fave month! After June of course because in June its Summer Vacation! And my birthday! Yay!
Anyway, I wanted to tell you something important. The school schedule and the school system! In this fic of course (obviously)! Ok, there are six periods. A class always has the same students in it and the seats will not change no matter what throughout a semester. Like in Japan (kinda). The only exception to this rule is 4th period and 5th period which comes before lunch. For the entire school those are elective periods. Some have Gymnastics and some have Drama or Band or Computer Hardware or Art or so on… in these classes students from all level grades and classes can be in the same class. Okay, we have that settled. 6th period is a bit confusing…there are 4 classes for each grade right. In Sakura's grade there is 3-A, 3-B, 3-C and 3-D (her class). It is senior year (the last year). Two classes join to make a PE class for A-day and the other 2 classes join for swimming. And visa versa in B-day. Now to explain A-day and B-day, instead of assigning each day a subject or taking the same subjects everyday. The schedule is pretty easy. All there is to it is that it takes all the subjects and split them in half. Half of the subjects you take on A-day and the other subjects you take on B-day. Okay, well, I hope I explained it well.
Remember its not the beginning of the year, its been about 2 months and a half before she attended the school. I hope I explained it well. It's not that confusing at least I don't think so. It's a bit like my school system but we change classes and have different students in almost each class. You know what! Next chapter I will write the major characters schedules! Okay! Anyway review.
'Hyuuga Neji is here! My freedom! My freedom is gone…' Sakura was moping through the halls. Her only chance for even a half of freedom is gone. She was depressed and feeling down when she entered her class. It was quiet; she looked around only to see a couple of students around. It was a bit early and those who are in class right now probably are either finishing their homework at the last minute or just simply nerds. But one way or the other it didn't matter. If she was her usual self, then she would've strike a conversation and be friends but she was too depressed. She managed a small smile and a simple hello. They replied back and asked her about her nose. She just shrugged it off as an accident due to her clumsiness.
After the little exchange of greetings and small conversation she went to her chair and sighed. She was staring out from the window when suddenly someone knocked on her head.
"hello? Anybody there?" Naruto was looking down at her wearing the same goofy smile. For the first time that day she found her first real smile. It was brilliant. Naruto laughed at the sudden change.
"Naruto! Hi!" she exclaimed.
" 'Sup? Hey, is he here? Is that why you were looking depressed? How is your nose?" a million questions were pouring out of his mouth. She knew he was concerned but it is rather annoying and she didn't need any clue that what he meant by "he" is Hyuuga Neji.
"Naruto! One question at a time!" she scolded. "yes he is here although I don't know where and I wasn't feeling depressed and my nose," she paused and sighed. "Is looking ghastly according to Momo-san." She answered all of his questions.
"yes you were depressed!" he disagreed.
"no I wasn't!" she argued.
"yes you were!"
"no I wasn't!"
He crossed his arms and said in a voice full of authority. "yes you were and don't argue! Its written all over your face! Why didn't you go to Hinata-chan? Like I told you to!"
"I am not depressed! And I will let her see my nose during lunch!"
"if you idiots are done arguing I would like to sit in my chair" a voice cool and smooth as ice behind Naruto silenced their conversation. Sakura moved a bit to see who was behind Naruto. Her eyes widened. It was none other than Uchiha Sasuke. The kind guy she met who helped her find her home but he sure wasn't kind just a few moments ago.
"Its you!" she said in surprise.
He ignored her but kept his eyes fixed on Naruto.
"Bastard…" Naruto scowled.
"Dobe…" Sasuke stared. His features completely impassive.
"He's Bas…..um...the guy you told me about who never comes to school?" she asked Naruto, unaware of the tension between those two. She tugged on Naruto's sleeves when he didn't pay any attention to her.
Suddenly aware of her presence, Naruto looked down at his friend and smiled softly. "Yes, he is Bastard, the delinquent who does nothing but bullies and ditches school."
Sakura's eyes widened. "But he was so kind and he helped me yesterday!"
It was Naruto's turn to be surprised. He became angry. "What do you mean he helped you and was kind? You met him!"
She knew it was a mistake saying he helped her but her big mouth got carried away. "Don't get angry! If it wasn't for him I would have been lost in then streets yesterday!"
"LOST? YOU SAID KENKARO-SAN WAS TAKING YOU HOME!" he practically screamed.
"I-I did? O-Oh yeah, I did. Heh, I told him not to come you see, because I wanted to walk and see the world and enjoy a bit of freedom…with you. But you couldn't come so I went alone and got lost." She timidly explained. She rarely saw Naruto angry and he was never angry at her before. She was scared at his outburst.
Naruto knew he was scaring her but he couldn't control himself. Who knows what could have happened to her on the way. He hated to admit it but if that Bastard wasn't there, she would be in so much trouble. And that trouble could have cost her what she values the most now, what little freedom she has before she is sent away to be some rich bastard's wife. But that isn't the worst possible case, she could have been kidnapped, molested, or raped… she still isn't aware that she could've been tricked or taken by force. But she isn't the only person who would be harmed, he might never be able to see her again. Her parents would hold him responsible for anything that happens to her and would ban him from ever being next to her. If that happens….he cant imagine what will happen to him…
"do you know what could have happened to you? And to what you value the most right now? Your freedom. Everything you have right now will disappear in an instant." He told her in a soft voice.
Its just now that the thought occurred to her. 'I could have lost my tiny bit of freedom!'
Those two were so deep in thought and conversation that they forgot who was standing in front of them. Sasuke got bored from watching the little scene so he passed Naruto and stood in front of Sakura. He startled her. She looked up and saw him staring down at her with those cold eyes. She didn't know what to do but stare back. He opened his mouth to speak and she thought 'finally he is going to say something. Like "hey" or maybe "how is your nose?"'
"move." He said while staring blankly at her if not bored.
She was shocked. What happened to the silver knight in shining armor who saved her when she was lost? He has been replaced by a demon of ice! "w-what?"
"its my seat. Move." His eyes slightly narrowed and he seemed a bit menacing.
"its not your seat anymore Bastard! Go find another one! Its not like you come to school to study anyway!" said Naruto.
Sasuke ignored him. Sakura started getting fidgety. "you know what, I like that seat better. The sun always get into my eyes when I sit here."
"Sakura-chan don't move!" Naruto warned. He was getting riled up.
"you know what Naruto, I don't want to sit in that seat ever again. Even if he didn't tell me to move." It was a declaration that caught every person who was in hearing distance attention.
She got up and went to the only empty seat available. The seat next to Sasuke. Sasuke sat in his chair and gave a quick glance at his pink haired neighbor. 'she still looks ugly.'
1 HOUR LATER…(END OF JAPANESE CLASS)
Sakura walked over to Naruto's seat looking relieved. "Naruto, he isn't in our class! I am so happy!" she was smiling brightly that Naruto started smiling too.
"that's great! At least you don't have to see his ugly face almost every hour of the day." He grinned.
"yeah…"
They were interrupted by two familiar voices. "You haven't forgotten us have you?"
"that would make us so sad."
Sakura turned around to see Tenten and Ino smiling. She smiled when she saw her two new friends then looked worried all of a sudden. She glanced behind them to see if Kin was anywhere. She wasn't anywhere to be seen. She sighed a sigh of relief and looked back at her friends. The smile returned to her face.
"Ino-chan! Tenten-chan! We are in the same class?"
"Man, you're slow! Of course we are dummy! You still haven't realized it?" Tenten teased.
"c'mon Tenten-chan. Cut her some slack!" Ino said. Then turned to Sakura and smiled. "we would have come and said hi earlier but we saw Sasuke-kun come up to you and Naruto so we decided we will say hi after class." Ino explained then sighed dreamily. "he is so handsome but so cold and expressionless! But he is so mean at the same time! He comes to bully students and scare them away of the school! It's a mystery how he still isn't expelled. But still, he is so gorgeous!"
"I suppose." Sakura said carelessly.
"you suppose! Just look at the man! Hot looks, hot body, and basically hot everything!" Ino's eyes were about to pop out from her eyes.
"you mean cold. That guy is as cold as ice! Forget him! There are other guys besides him!"
"Finally someone with sense!" muttered Naruto. "I agree with what Sakura-chan said. There other guys better than that icy bastard!"
"like who? You?" Ino asked scornfully.
"damn right! Someone like me!" Naruto said enthusiastically. "at least I know how to treat a girl!"
All the girls burst laughing except Sakura. A teacher came in and hushed them up before Naruto explodes. Everyone went to their seats and the class began.
"Good morning kids, I see we have a new face." Anko looked at Sakura who blushed when she got everyone's attention. "a face with a blue nose!"
Some girls giggled which made Sakura blush all the more. "it was an accident." She murmured.
"clumsy girl, where were your eyes? Be more alert!"
Sakura was getting annoyed and angry. "accidents do happen sensei!" she spoke rather sharply.
'Uh oh! Here she goes again! She's going to snap without knowing it!' Naruto groaned.
Anko's expressions suddenly became threatening. "are you talking back at me kid? Do you know what happens to kids who talk back at me?" Anko walked over to Sakura's desk.
Sakura looked her into the eye even though she became nervous. "n-no and I don't care! you shouldn't take advantage of your position as teacher so you can impose yourself on us just because we are students!"
'she snapped!' Naruto groaned even louder and ran his hand through his face.
"imposing? Advantage? You little brat!" Anko raised her hand at Sakura in a threatening manner. Sakura closed her eyes and waited for the blow. There was nothing. She opened her eyes to see her teacher grinning at her.
"you got some guts kid!" she laughed and slapped Sakura's back. "I was just messing with you! You got some guts to stand up to me! Most of the other students started crying and apologizing!" Anko slapped Sakura's back again and again while laughing harder.
Sakura was dumbfounded. She just stared at Anko. Anko went back to the front of the room. 'what a weird teacher…'
"alright! Lets start English class. Today we have something new to do! Shakespeare! A Midsummer Night Dream. This is my favorite one out of all Shakespeare's plays. People taking Drama will be doing this play and performing it at the end of the semester. You'll be doing a western play at the beginning of the year and a eastern one at the end of the year. enough of that now! I'll hand out the books now and all of you write your name on the first page."
All the students did what they were told. A few students flipped the page and started gasping or groaning.
This got on their teachers nerves. "BE QUIET! ALL OF YOU!"
"Anko-sensei! This is too hard! I don't understand a word in this play!" a student complained.
The teacher smiled sweetly. "and that's why I am here for! To teach you and make you understand!"
Some students frowned over what they will be facing but the groans and gasping stopped. The teacher began explaining the story and the plot. The girls giggled over the love problems in the play while the boys complained about how boring it is. The teacher silenced the class with one hot look.
"okay kids lets read. Let's see…who is going to be Thesues?"
Several hands shot up and Anko picked a boy called Yukinojo.
"Hippolytta?"
And again several hands shot up. The process was repeated until they reached the four main characters. Lysander, Demetrius, Hermia, and Helena. The four lovers. Every girl wanted to be either Hermia or Helena. And most of the guys wanted to be either Lysander or Demetrius according to their crushes.
"Hermia will be…" Anko hesitated for a moment then picked the student. "Ino-chan."
"INO!" the girls looked at Ino with envy. Ino looked quiet pleased with herself.
"yes Ino-chan! And Helena will be…." Many hands eagerly shot up. Sakura's hand was of the hands. Anko spotted Sakura's hand and smiled. "Sakura-chan."
"No fair!" "I want to act!" "Anko-sensei! You are playing favorites!" many girls complained but Anko silenced them with a "BE QUIET!"
Sakura was very happy that she got a lead role. If anything, she loved acting! She looked back and saw Ino smiling at her. She smiled back. It was obvious that they were both very happy.
"okay, we got the girls done now for the male parts! Lysander will be Naruto-kun!"
"NARUTO?" the class shouted his name in surprise but Ino's and Naruto's voices were the loudest and most surprised.
"yes, Naruto-kun! And Demetrius will be Sasuke-kun!"
The girls gasped and Sakura looked distressed. Of all the people he had to be picked! And worst of all, in the play, she loves him and desperately follows him!
Anko was preparing herself for Sasuke's big refusal so she can force him into acting but surprisingly he said nothing.
Sasuke's head was laid on top of his arm and his eyes were closed. When he heard his name called he opened his eyes to refuse the part but when he saw Sakura's distressed expression he said nothing. In fact he was amused!
"Sasuke-kun? You are acting right?" Anko's voice was lacking its usual confidence. She sounded almost unsure.
Sasuke raised his head and looked at his teacher blankly.
"Anko-sensei! Uchiha-san is tired today! See, he is practically sleeping! Why don't you let Naruto play Demetrius! No wait, he already has a part! Um, Lee-san! Why he could be an awesome Demetrius! Wouldn't you Lee-san?" Sakura asked. Her voice was worried and so obviously distressed about acting in love with the man Sasuke is playing that Sasuke almost cracked a smirk then and there. But he didn't.
"I-if you think so Sakura-san, I will try my best!" Lee said taken by surprise.
"Sakura-chan, I will decide who will act whom without your opinion. Now why are you worried that Sasuke-kun will be acting?" anko asked annoyed.
"Its nothing, really!" Sakura gave up. She knew she was embarrassing herself and if she argued any further, people would have the wrong impression and she would be humiliating herself.
"okay, lets continue with the other characters. Egeus will be Akio" and the list went on until they were through. "lets start everybody!"
To others, Sakura was very lucky to be acting with Sasuke but to Sakura it was hell. When they reached the part where Sakura as Helena follows Sasuke as Demetrius into the forest, Sakura's already hellish situation become even more humiliating. When it ended, Sasuke leaned a bit closer to Sakura and whispered in a low voice so only she would hear. "doesn't this scene sound familiar?" he whispered nastily. She wanted to hit him, but decided to ignore him. He was referring when she was lost and she followed him even though he offered to her to take her home. He acted as if she was a beggar.
(END OF ENGLISH CLASS)…11 AM
"hell, that was hell…" Sakura put her head on the table between her arms. She kept on muttering about how hellish the period was. Ino and Tenten went to their friend to cheer her up.
"hey it wasn't all bad! Cheer up!" Tenten said.
"yeah it wasn't bad." Sakura muttered.
"see!" Tenten kept on trying to cheer her friend up.
"yeah, because bad is an extreme underestimation. It was hell!" Sakura sulked even more.
"I don't get you at all! Other girls are dying to speak to him let alone act with him! Today you had both!" ino shook her head and crossed her arms.
"yea, girls like ino-chan!" Tenten teased. Ino blushed.
"lucky me! Want to trade places? I don't mind at all!" Sakura said sarcastically.
Ino and Tenten both rolled their eyes and gave him. They knew she was stubborn as a goat and will keep on sulking. Naruto was coming toward them but then decided to let Sakura alone for a bit. He stared at Sasuke and scowled but Sasuke just ignored him and turned his head away.
The teacher entered and World History III class began.
(END OF WORLD HISTORY III CLASS)…12 PM
"finally done!" Sakura's mood lightened and she was her normal self again.
Naruto walked over to her table. They had a thirty minute break before their other elective classes. All their core classes were finished for the day. Ino and Tenten joined them and the four chatted. Soon Lee joined. They were laughing and chatting. Some boys and girls joined.
"hey Sakura-chan! We still have 20 minutes before class! Want to go somewhere?" Naruto asked.
"is it allowed?" she asked.
"yes it is!"
"where do you want to go?"
"somewhere near. Let's see…Ichiraku! To get some ramen!" he said eagerly. Sakura saw that coming. She declined.
"how about we go get some ice cream at the new café that opened? I heard it was good and the service is fast plus its near!" suggested ino.
"good idea!" Tenten asked.
"who invited you?" Naruto said annoyed. "I just asked Sakura-chan to go!"
"yea right! Like we are going to let little, cute Sakura-chan alone with you!" Ino defended.
Naruto's face flushed and he got angry. "what am I? A pervert!"
"you said it not me!" ino said innocently. Everyone laughed and Sakura patted his arm and grinned. Naruto found himself unable to stay angry when he saw her smile.
"fine, but you are treating Ino!" Naruto said cheekily.
"like hell I am! Wasn't it you who invited Sakura-chan!" Ino snapped.
"yes! Just Sakura-chan!" argued Naruto.
"that's the point!" Ino argued back.
"what point!" Naruto said annoyed.
"it is our duty as her friends to be with her!" ino stated.
Sakura sighed and walked behind the arguing pair. Tenten walked beside Sakura and started to laugh at the pair in front of them with Sakura. It was like that how they left the classroom. All eyes that were on the foursome went back to their business all except a pair. They were staring at a certain pink haired girl's back. As soon as the owner of those eyes heard girls whispering and giggling while mentioning his name he turned his head away and rested it on his arms.
SAKURA, NARUTO, INO, AND TENTEN…12:05 PM…IN THE NEW CAFÉ….
"hey, this is a pretty cute café!" Ino exclaimed.
"yeah…it has a warm feeling to it!" Tenten sighed dreamily.
"I like it! It's comfortable! Plus the drinks are good!" Sakura said. Naruto nodded enthusiastically while sipping a juice he picked out.
"I'm hungry!" whined Ino. "I want a turkey sandwich!"
"so get it yourself!" Naruto told her as if he was telling a child. Ino got annoyed but didn't say anything but she did do what he said.
"you know, we should have told Temari and Kin to come with us!" Tenten said. "I'll message her on my cell phone!"
At hearing Kin's name, Sakura felt chills run through her body. She didn't know why but she felt immense hatred coming from that girl towards her. It was as if from first glance she made up her mind to hate and reject Sakura completely. And poor Sakura didn't have a clue why!
"you know what! I really should be going because I have to see Hinata-san about my nose! To see if it is not broken!" she got up and went to the cashier leaving a confused bunch behind. Naruto stood up to follow her.
"Sakura!" he called out. Sakura was in such a hurry that she turned sharply causing her to lose her balance and fall to the ground.
She was falling and was about to hit the hard ground when something soft yet strong held her. Her eyes were wide open but unseeing. She blinked several times and then looked to see what cushioned her fall. She thought it was Naruto but then she saw her friends gaping and Naruto was one of them. 'so it isn't Naruto. Then who?'
She looked up and saw the most beautiful eyes she ever saw. They were pearly white and they had a worried expression in them. She blushed. The owner of those beautiful eyes looked worried. He spoke to her. Her eyes went from his eyes to his mouth.
'He has a beautiful mouth and eyes…' she thought dreamily. Suddenly she caught herself in her train of thoughts. She blushed even harder at what she was thinking.
"Excuse miss, are you okay?" the beautiful person asked. Sakura suddenly snapped back to reality. She quickly got up and away from his arms.
"U-um yes, I am fine. Thank you for helping me!" she shyly thanked him. The guy smiled and she blushed harder.
Naruto finally came into the scene. "Thanks for catching her before she falls." He wasn't very happy that he wasn't the one to help her like he always did before.
"Not at all! It was my pleasure." He spoke softly and elegantly. He looked and seemed like a beautiful prince. He turned to Sakura. "You should take care of yourself. Be careful, you might hurt yourself again."
"Again?" Sakura asked. She followed his gaze and it was lying on her blue nose. Her hand flew to her nose to cover it. "Oh! Well I am going to see the school's nurse now."
"That's very good. We are in the same school so please, if you see me I would like to know if your nose is all right!" he seemed very worried.
'Wow! He is so kind! So unlike a certain someone I saw again today! Plus I have witnesses!'
"Sakura we got to go! See ya!" he turned to leave.
Sakura smiled then turned away. Before she leaves the café she turned and waved. He smiled in return. Naruto and Sakura left to go to school. He turned around and saw Sakura's friends gaping. He smiled at them and left too.
"wow! He is so handsome!" Tenten sighed. "Its always Sakura getting the cute guys!"
"He is beautiful! He looks so feminine! I want to run my hands though his hair!" Ino sighed.
"He is nice too! Unlike the guy you follow around!"
"What do you mean!"
"Oh come on! Uchiha Sasuke! Doesn't it ring a bell?"
Ino blushed. "Oh shut up Tenten!"
JUST OUTSIDE THE CAFÉ…SAME TIME AS THE TENTEN'S AND INO'S CONVERSATION…
The mysterious guy who helped Sakura was walking towards the school. His smile was still plastered onto his face. He looked beautiful, almost female yet he so masculine in his built. With beautiful long, brown hair. He walked through the streets and many eyes were turned towards his direction. Especially female eyes.
He turned around a corner and his smile turned into an evil, ugly smirk. 'so that was her? That ugly ditz with the blue nose and the big forehead! What an airhead! Fell for me at first sight. Just let her slip on some of oil without her knowing and save her then treat her kindly after that and she's in love! She's such a fool, that rich ditz I am engaged to, of course my good looks are irresistible. All I got to do is make her love me even more till we are married, then I will have my way with her. The foolish girl doesn't know that her parents gave her two thirds of their money to her and only a measly sum for me to control; just for security for their child! No matter, after our wedding night she will be so in love and trusting, that's when I will ask her to let me handle all her money not the measly part I get in the marriage. After I get even richer, I will go out with women and she can stay at home waiting so trustingly! Heh, a woman in my house, and women in my office! That's the plan! Such a foolish girl! Haruno Sakura, the richest girl in Japan, has no chance against my charms! I will make her mine!'
He put his hands in his pocket and laughed an ugly laugh; a laugh ugly as his intentions.
THE NURSES ROOM…12:15 PM…
Naruto was shy and fidgety ever since he entered the nurse's room. He wasn't his usual cocky, loud self. Sakura was sitting in front of the nurse who was examining her nose. The nurse was a girl as old as she. Her name was Hinata, the name which she often heard on Naruto's lips. The girl was very pretty, with dark purple blue hair and those eyes…clear pearly white just like the guy who saved her from the fall. But what really surprised her was her shyness. It put Sakura's shyness to shame! She could barely make direct eye contact and hold it for a minute. Even though, she was the sweetest, kindest, and helpful girl.
"So how is my nose Hinata-san? Is it broken?" Sakura asked.
"N-no it isn't. It's only a bruise although it will take time to go away. Probably after three days it will fade until on the fifth it will be gone. But do not try to hide it with a band aid or anything." She timidly explained in a small voice.
"That's great Sakura-chan! Thanks a lot Hinata-chan!" he smiled and Hinata blushed.
"I-it was nothing." She shyly said.
"No really thanks Hinata-san! Well I have to go to class! Hey do you have a class now? You are a student right?" Sakura asked.
"Y-yes I am a student but I am also training to be a doctor so I come to the nurse's office to learn whenever I can." Hinata explained.
"Wow! You are so awesome Hinata-chan!" Naruto exclaimed.
Hinata blushed harder but managed to smile.
"Yes you are! Really! That's very admirable!" Sakura said in awe. She never thought of what she wanted to be but only dreamed of freedom. "Woah! Look at the time! I don't want to be late!"
"Bye." Said Hinata.
"BYE!" Naruto answered and left with Sakura.
OUTSIDE IN THE HALLWAY…12:18 PM
"So what do you have now Naruto?" Sakura asked.
"Chorale! That's one boring period!" Naruto made a gagging sound.
"Oh too bad! I had Chorale yesterday and it wasn't that bad! Actually, I like it!"
"Yuck! I suck at singing with others! I am better off singing my style!"
"Yup, that's you alright!" she smiled and then looked at the time. "Oh my god! Its two minutes before the bell rings! See you!" and she left.
"I didn't have a chance to ask her what she has!" whined Naruto to himself. "Hopefully it isn't with that Bastard and the girly guy just a few minutes ago!"
SAKURA'S CLASS…RIGHT OUTSIDE THE DOOR…12:19 PM
'Okay…I have drama now! Cool! At least I can act without that Uchiha making fun of me!' thought Sakura right before she entered the class. 'I wonder where that nice guy who helped earlier is…'
Sakura entered the class and closed the door behind her. She looked up to see the class and her eyes widened in horror. It was none other than that "Uchiha guy" she was thinking so badly about a few seconds ago! As if he felt her intense stare at him, he turned his head and looked at her blankly. When he saw the look in her face, he immediately turned his head away to face the wall. At this Sakura was puzzled. She went and sat from the chair furthest from him. Which was at the other end of the room, next to the door while he sat next to the window.
'That was funny! That girl almost made me smile then and there!' Sasuke turned to smirk. He doesn't smile but just smirk, even though, they still were rare.
Sakura patiently sat at the other end of the class. No one she knows is in the class, she was in a class where she knew no one but her worst nightmare who was sitting at the other end of the class. Suddenly the door burst open and two girls came rushing in. it was Ino and Tenten. Sakura felt so relieved to see her friends. Just when she was about to wave another person followed the two, it was Kin! Sakura's smile quickly faded into a worried frown but she managed to hide it quickly.
"H-hi everyone!" she managed.
"Hey!" both girls answered but Kin paid no mind to her. "See Tenten! Sensei still didn't arrive! He is always late!"
"It's better to be safe than sorry!" Tenten defended herself.
"Sasuke-kun is here!" Ino whispered excitedly.
"And the four seats beside him are empty!" Tenten whispered back.
"Lets go!" Ino dashed quickly. She didn't even bother to be subtle.
"You go guys. I am not going near that guy!" Sakura stayed where she is.
"I understand. We'll follow that lovesick ditz so she doesn't get herself in trouble! You know, make sure she behave herself!" Tenten said.
"Oh why don't you just come out and say it! Baby-sit Ino!" Sakura teased. Tenten laughed
"Bingo! Right on target!"
Sakura smiled and Tenten waved and left to look after that lovesick airhead.
The bell rang and after a few minutes the door slid open. A teacher came in. he was very tall with sliver hair. One of his eyes is covered up along with his face.
'What a weird teacher…man! This is the second time I said that phrase! The whole school is weird!'
"Yo! Sorry class that I was late! You see a big, exotic parrot-!" the teacher was cut off by his students.
"No more excuses Kakashi-sensei! We know! We know!" the whole class said.
"How rude! Well anyway then I don't have to explain!" he looked around the class and saw Sakura. He smiled and said "we have a new face I see! And she has a blue nose!"
Sakura almost blew up when he said this. She counted to ten and held her rage. Her temper was under control.
"It was an accident!"
"Be careful next time!" he said kindly. His eyes curved upward into what seemed a kind smile.
The door slid open again. A beautiful person entered the room. It was that guy! The guy who saved her! He saw her and smiled. She smiled back. He went to Kakashi-sensei and talked to him in a low whisper. On the other hand, all the girls were talking in loud excited whispers while staring at the beautiful guy.
"This is Neji." Kakashi pointed towards the guy. "He will be in Drama class for the rest of the year now."
'He has the same name as my fiancée' thought Sakura.
"Take a seat anywhere you like." Kakashi told him. The class was half full so there were many chairs available. The chairs and desks were arranged into a half circle in a large room surrounding the teacher. Neji looked around and saw many girls waving at him to set next to them. He ignored them and sat in the seat next to Sakura. He smiled at her then faced the teacher unaware of a pair of intense eyes were boring holes into him. They were eyes of a dark loner sitting by the window.
'So Drama might not be bad after all!' thought the pink haired girl innocently. Unaware of what truly lies under the people she is surrounded by. Unaware that she is the target of their unmerciful plans and unaware that she will be plunged into a personal problems of rivals.
So that's it for this chap! I am finally done! Thank god! So sorry I took long! My computer broke down and I had to rewrite everything! That was a month ago! I didn't have time! I finally finished! Took me 1 week! Sunday and Monday were the worst days for me so far during this year! I have a bad case of insomnia! I can sleep at all! Its been weeks! My body is exhausted from all the training I am doing and I barely sleep! My brothers are being a pain in the butt and my friends started to be annoying! Life was hell for me in the last few months! But still I am sorry that I took long! I probably wont update until maybe in the beginning of may or june! So yea… a long wait! To be honest! I will try to write a chapter for other story! Please don't give up and review because I have been depressed at how many people read my story but wont give me an opinion! It takes me days and hours to write a chap and people wont take a minute to write me a review telling me what I should do to improve! I value your opinions the most because you are the readers! So come on!
I cant send this chap to my beta because I cant open my email and my brother's computer cant access MSN or Hotmail . com ! so I couldn't see emails for the last 2 months! It was hell! So be satisfied with me proofreading!
Thank yous: (you guys make my day!)
Els1321: thanks for reviewing! I love to read your reviews! I hope you didn't give on me and my story! About the nose! Heh! My nose was like that because of a stupid person! My nose was horrible for the entire week! People made fun of me in school! I got so pissed off that I kicked them! Lol! It was funny when I think about it now but then it was hell!
Dark-kunoichi: yup! A ghastly nose indeed! My nose was ghastly too! I wanted to cry but instead I kicked whoever made fun of my nose! And I had to do a lot of kicking in school! Thanks about saying my chap was cute! It made me so happy! Oh yea! Would you really would have said the same thing that Naruto said! A rainbow face! That's how I usually think! Random! That's me! Lol! Anyway keep reviewing please! I love to hear about your opinions and how I can improve my writing in general!
Shi hime: Thanks for reviewing! Don't worry about offending me but what about kin! If I were you I would be careful cuz she might want revenge on you! Mwahahahaha! Wait, that didn't make sense! Oh well! I am sorry that I couldn't update soon but I am really busy and this is the best I can do! Thanks for saying you like my story! That makes me SO HAPPY! Don't worry, you aren't overacting! Be the way you are! Geez! That was corny! But still true! And I hope this chap is long enough for you!
Amylovestakuya: thanks for reviewing and saying you love my story!
Serpentslayer: good that you are continuing what you start! But there are other things that are also important! Studying so you can secure your future! I need to raise my GPA so bad because in 9th grade I messed up big time! I was always absent because of injuries! Last year was terrible! I am scarred all over! And my nerves that are in my right foot are a bit messed up! And lately I have been having a bad case of insomnia! But don't worry about it! I am that kind of person who would grin and bear it! nothing can beat me but the one who created me! God! So yea… I am trying hard but being a Tae Kwon Do black belt and the third best fighter in my dojang out of all the boys and girls and an A student is difficult! Plus with these injuries it isnt easy! I am not trying to boast but I think I am managing pretty well with all this work better than most people! Anyway! I hope you get excellent grades and be succeful! I truly do!
Kurenai-Churoumi: thanks for reviewing! Thanks for saying my fic is great! And yup, Sakura's nose hurts big time!
Shir0-chan: I missed you! Chatting with you and all! I went to the emirates to train and it was fun but also hell! The guys say hi! My computer broke down and my bro's computer cant access MSN AND hotmail so I haven't opened my email since the last time I chatted with you! I hope you like this chap! And I made it long especially for you! As for what you said about my pace! I know I am slow because I want to introduce all the characters and get things cleared but no worries! Things will start to move faster in the next…oh 2 chaps! Heh! Oh by the way what were my ideas! ):D
Oh yea! I finally had my height taken by the doctor when I was sick! Guess what! I am not 167 cm tall! Get ready…I am…………………………………..162 cm tall! I shrank! Waaahhhhhhh! I was so upset! I was like there is no way in heaven and hell I am I 162 cm! I am shorter than you! My muscles are getting bigger and I am starting to look chubby! I hate this so much! What about my dream to be 200 cm! I want to look down at people not look up! I want people to look up at me! This is so not cool!
Heartless ghost: thanks for reviewing and saying my fic is cool! I don't think this will be your typical Nejixsakuxsasuk fic! Much deeper stuff! So yea! Watch out for the next chaps and you will get what I mean!
animegoddess8786: thanks for reviewing and saying you love my fic and its great! Thanks a lot!
Sasukerox: I like it when people are friends too! Especially the friendship those two have!
PS: I AM GOING TO WRITE A CHAPTER SHOWING THE MAIN CHARACTER'S SCHEDULES SO YOU WONT BE CONFUSED. BY THE WAY THIS CHAP IS 18 PAGES!
