"Sakura," Kakashi said.
No one answered.
"Haruno Sakura," he repeated.
The door slammed open as a pink haired girl walked in. She walked over to the sensei and did a deep bow.
"I am so sorry for my tardiness, sensei," she said.
"That is fine," Kakashi responded. "Please take a seat," he smiled.
She then turned to face the class.
"S-Sa-k-u-r-a," Naruto stuttered.
Chapter 2: S-Sa-k-u-r-a!
Naruto's mouth was stretched as far as it could go as he stared at the pink haired beauty in front of him.
"S-Sa-k-u-r-a," he said again louder.
"You already said that dope," Gaara informed him. Gaara had been studying Sakura too, and so had the others; they just did not make it as noticeable.
"What happened to you?" Naruto asked. "Who ruined you-?" He was cut off by Kiba pushing him out of the way.
"Who made you hot?" Kiba asked, raising his eyebrows her direction.
Every male in class it seemed could not take their eyes off Sakura. She wore a cute blue demin skirt matched with an aqua jacket, her pink tank top peeking underneath. Her long toned legs were noticeable in the skirt, the most skin she had ever shown in public. Her friends did not want to admit it, but Sakura was hot. She was definitely not a tomboy anymore!
They slowly made their way up to her face, shocked even more. Her green eyes sparkled under the light makeup she was wearing, a natural beauty. Their eyes traveled to her lips glowing with pink lip gloss.
Sakura was then jerked to the right suddenly, her hand gripped tightly. Everyone turned their attention to the bushy boy, Rock Lee holding her hand, kneeling on one knee in front of her.
"Sakura, what a beautiful name to fit a perfect cherry blossom," he sighed with his mouth open in glee.
"Uh, okay," she said, slowly trying to pry her hand away. "Thanks I guess."
"Want to be my girlfriend?" he asked, giving her a wink.
"Back off pal," Kiba said yanking the offender's hand away. He dragged her back to the group where they stopped in front of Naruto. Naruto circled and stared at her suspiciously, rubbing his chin.
"Are you sure you're Sakura?" he questioned, inspecting her hair, rubbing a strand in between his fingers.
Sakura sighed and rolled her eyes. "Yes Naruto."
"LIES!" he screeched. "The Sakura I know would never wear skirts or those kinds of shoes, basically show her legs, feet, hair, face-,"
"I get the point," Sakura sighed, starting to feel uncomfortable as everyone stared at them. Then Naruto pointed directly to her chest. "And where did those come from?" he said. "Care to explain?" he finished.
BAM!
Naruto was on the floor in seconds with an angry Sakura hovering over him rubbing her fist."Okay, you're definitely Sakura," he said before he was out cold.
"Where were you all summer?" asked Kiba. "Yeah, where?" Shino inquired, wondering too.
Naruto jumped up from the floor. "You didn't answer any of my letters; respond to the packages I sent you, e-mail, or call!" Naruto whined. He burst into tears on the spot. Everyone looked at him. "What, a man can't show his feelings?" Naruto sniffed, rubbing his eye.
"Wellllll, it's kind of a long story," Sakura answered, looking at the ceiling.
"Well, we have time," Gaara nodded his head, waiting to hear.
"Okay, well my mother-," she started and then was interrupted by Naruto.
"Ahh, I knew she was the culprit," Naruto whispered, snapping his fingers.
"Wow, the dope knows big words," Gaara said.
"Culprit is not a big word," Naruto said, sticking out his tongue.
"Shut up, "Gaara growled, glaring at the blonde boy.
"Anyway," she continued. "This summer my mom-," she was interrupted once again.
"Hey, take your seats and be quiet so I can finish taking roll," Kakashi commanded, finally looking up from his book.
"I'll tell you guys later," Sakura whispered to the guys. She then took her seat next to Shino.
Kakashi finished taking roll just as the bell rang, signaling them to go to their first period class. The guys and Sakura walked out into the hallway and pulled out their schedules.
"So, what class are you guys going to next?" Sakura asked, sneaking a peek at Gaara's schedule.
"Geometry," answered Kiba, Gaara and Naruto together.
"Wow, me too," she smiled, happy to see she had classes with her friends. "With Kakashi?" she asked.
"Yes," they replied in union.
"Wait a second…how are Naruto and Kiba taking Geometry with us?" Gaara asked, confused.
"I was thinking that too," said Shino, adjusting his sunglasses.
"Cause we're smart!" Kiba and Naruto responded.
"Sure," Gaara said in disbelief. "There must be some kind of mistake."
"What are you taking Shino?" Sakura asked. "Biology," he answered.
"And you Shikamaru?"
"Calculus, what a drag," he answered, dragging his feet.
"WHOA, YOU'RE TAKING CALCULUS?" Naruto screamed.
"Yes, loud mouth," Shikamaru sighed deeply.
"But…must people don't take that to their junior year," Kiba said in awe, looking at his friend.
"Shikamaru is just smart like that," Sakura smiled, patting him on the shoulder.
"Well…I have to go." Shikamaru waved goodbye before he walked away down the hall.
"Me too," Shino said, offering them his partings.
The others waved goodbye to their friends and Sakura lead the way to their classroom, the boys walking behind her. Naruto, Gaara, and Kiba could not help but notice the looks she was getting for the guys as they strolled.
Gaara made sure to send an angry glare to each and every one of them when they walked by. "They're staring at her as if she's some piece of meat."
"I know," Naruto sighed, not really paying attention.
Gaara turned his head to see Naruto staring at Sakura's short skirt flap against her legs as she walked.
"Pervert," Gaara whispered.
"I'm not a pervert," Naruto whispered a back. "I'm just making….observations."
"Rightttt," Kiba said, not believing him.
"Oh be quiet," Naruto frowned. "You were staring too."
"I was not," Kiba blushed, turning his head away from them.
They walked through the open door to see most of the students had arrived and claimed all of the good seats. "Great," Sakura muttered. "We'll have to sit at the front." They sat in four seats close to the board. Gaara was seating next to Sakura, Naruto behind Sakura, and Kiba behind Gaara. A soft puff was heard at the front of the class, gathering everyone's attention.
"Hello students, I'm your math teacher, Kakashi," greeted the silver-haired man who was too busy reading the book in his hand.
Naruto stood on top of his desk. "Hey, you were the homeroom teacher in A215," Naruto pointed out.
"Yes, and I'm your math teacher now, so sit down," he said boredly, already feeling tired.
"Okay, we will be doing a math project and you will be partners with the person sitting next to you," Kakashi informed them of the plans.
"ON THE FIRST DAY?!" the class shouted.
"Yes," Kakashi answered simply.
"Gaara, looks like we'll be working together," Sakura smiled. Gaara smiled back at her, feeling really giddy for some reason.
"Man, I have to work with dog boy," Naruto whined. "And I have to work with the idiot boy," Kiba whined back.
"Hold on, the students in the first four rows you work with the person to your left," Kakashi explained. "The other two rows over here, you work with the person to your right."
Gaara turned his attention to his right to see a weird blonde girl blinking her eyes rapidly at him. There was so much makeup on her face he thought it was a mask. The dress she was wearing was short and revealing, not exactly school approved.
"Umm…is there something in your eye?" Gaara asked as she continued to blink by the nanosecond.
"No silly," the girl giggled as cutely as she could.
'She sounds like a squirrel," Gaara thought.
"My name is Ino," she said. She leaned in closer so that her cleavage was about to burst out of the dress. "What's yours?" she tried to whisper in a sexy voice.
"Gaara," he said hesitantly, backing away from her.
"Ooh…sexy," she whispered, winking at him.
'Great, I'm going to be doing all the work."
Naruto turned to his left to see a girl with short purple hair and white eyes. She was pointing her index fingers together, stealing glances at him. "Hey, my name's Naruto," he smiled, trying to be friendly.
"M-m-m-y n-a-a-m-,"she fainted on the floor before she could finish her sentence.
"OMG, I'VE KILLED MY PARTNER!" Naruto shrieked, trying to wake the unconscious girl.
Kiba turned to his right to see a pale boy with short hair and half a shirt.
"Hi, my name is Sai," the boy said a small smile on his face.
"Excuse me, but…um I do not want to work with him…he looks creepy," Kiba said. "Look at his clothes."
"Too bad," Kakashi answered. "Nobody is switching."
Sakura raised her hand up high. "Excuse me, sensei, but there is nobody to my left."
The door then opened to reveal a guy with long brown hair that reached the middle of his back, tied into a ponytail. He had white eyes that looked just like Hinata's.
"Sorry I am late, sensei, I was getting my schedule changed," Neji explained, for his tardiness.
"There goes your partner right there," Kakashi smiled at her.
It was then Sakura's turn to stand on top of her desk as she pointed her finger at Neji. "THERE IS NO WAY I'M WORKING WITH THAT JERK!" Sakura yelled loudly.
Neji glanced over at pink haired girl who was loudly refusing him. "Come on babe," Neji smirked. He walked to his desk and sat down, looking up at Sakura. "I'm enjoying the view," he said.
Sakura jumped of the desk, blushing slightly, yanking down her skirt. She had forgotten she was wearing one of them. "I'm still not working with him," she stated.
"Why not? We have never met and you're judging me," Neji smiled.
"Oh, we know each other pretty well," she glared at Neji.
"Where exactly have we met?" he asked. He then grabbed Sakura's hand and laid a light kiss on it. "Cause I'm sure I would remember such a pretty face," he smirked.
"We meet on a plane," she said, yanking her hand back and rubbing it against her jacket. "A flight to Miami, Florida earlier this summer."
"Still not ringing any bells," Neji frowned.
"I was going to the restroom before you cut in front of me," she continued.
Neji continued to think; seconds later his mouth fell open.
"Y-y-y-you w-w-ere th-th-that GUY!" Neji managed to spit out.
"Yes, that was me," Sakura glared at him fiercely.
Neji then pulled Sakura towards him in one swift move. "Well, I must admit I like the new you better," Neji smirked.
Gaara's eyes then turned dark watching the scene unfold. "Back up buddy," he glared.
"Oh I'm sorry, I did not know you had a boyfriend," Neji sighed, letting go of her.
"WHAT?" Sakura and Gaara screamed in union, looking at each other in shock.
"HE'S NOT MY BOYFRIEND!" Sakura squawked, backing away from him.
"SHE'S NOT MY GIRLFRIEND!" Gaara shouted, his face turning slightly red.
"YEA!" screamed Ino, fist pumping in the air. "HE IS SINGLE!"
Neji pulled Sakura back into his arms, pressing her against his chest. "Then I guess you will not mind me taking her then."
"SEXUAL ASSULT!" Naruto screamed. "THE LONGED HAIR FREAK NEEDS TO BE ARESTED!"
"Everybody, please sit down," Kakashi ordered, slamming his book on the desk.
The class quiet down and obediently took their seats.
"Now you will work with your partner, no changing," Kakashi said. He walked behind his desk and continued to read his book.
"Yeah!" Ino cheered. She hugged Gaara tightly, trying to give him a kiss.
"Let go of me," Gaara growled.
"Ohh, playing hard to get," Ino purred.
BRRRIIINNNNGGG
"Finally," chorused the class, quickly stuffing their materials back into their book bags.
"When you come tomorrow I will explain what you will be doing on the project," Kakashi said before disappearing out of the classroom.
Sakura packed her things up as Neji came behind her and whispered in her ear.
"See you at lunch….honey," he smirked.
"That jerk," Sakura scolded.
"Come on Sakura," Kiba said. "At least we all have gym together."
Sakura smiled looking forward to their next class.
"And do not worry about that wedgie guy," Naruto said. He put his arm around her and pulled her close. "I have everything under control," he winked.
"Oh brother," Sakura sighed. "Naruto can you let go of me?" Sakura glared at him.
"S-sorry," Naruto blushed releasing her.
As soon as they arrived in the gym, half the class had already dressed out. Shikamaru and Shino were sitting on a bench watching the other students play basketball.
Sakura headed to the girl's locker room. The boys emerged from their room shortly observing the gym.
"Great, now we have to wait for the rest of the girls to come out," Kiba whined.
Ten minutes later the rest of the girls decided to appear. Just about every girl had changed into a pair of exercise shorts and paired it with either a sports bra or a tank top. Sakura emerged from the locker room last fixing her ponytail.
She had on knee length capris, a short sleeve shirt and a jacket tied around her waist.
"Wow, Sakura you have on more clothes on then most of the girls in the class," Kiba stated the obvious.
"Yeah, I guess so," she answered, looking around the room.
"Maybe you want to go and change then," Naruto winked.
Sakura was about to go and hit Naruto when something sounding like an animal echoed through the gym.
"Gaaaaarrrrraa," Ino screeched.
The gang turned around to see the blonde girl waving at Gaara. She was then surrounded by a horde of girls, giggling as they whispered amongst themselves. They started to check out the rest of the guys until their eyes landed on Sakura. They glared daggers at her for standing so close to the hot guys in the class.
"Well Sakura it seems the other girls are jealous that you're hanging out with five hotties," Naruto smiled.
"Wow, I only saw four," Sakura smirked. She walked over to go get a basketball off the rack.
"Wait! AM I INCLUDED IN THE FOUR?" Naruto screamed chasing after her.
Sakura grabbed a ball bouncing a few times testing it out. Once she was satisfied she headed to the center of the court.
"Sakura, I'm going to get some soda," Naruto said. "You want one?"
"No thanks," Sakura replied, shaking her head.
Sakura bounced the ball a couple of times and shot a 3 pointer. She smiled listening to the swish as the ball went through the hoop.
"Lucky shot," said a deep voice said behind her.
Sakura turned around to face a guy with pale skin, dark eyes and chicken scratch hair. He was a couple inches taller than her, smirking away as he eyed her.
"Excuse me," Sakura said to the stranger.
"I said lucky shot, there is no way a girl can be good at basketball," Sasuke smirked.
"She was going to be just like the rest of them, he thought. Fall for my good looks and charm. Then she will hand over the basketball."
Instead a heavy basketball connected with the young Uchicha's face and he fell to the ground in surprise. He popped right up holding his nose tightly."You broke my nose," he said, his voice sounding nasally.
"Too bad, maybe you should think twice before you ever try to insult me again," Sakura said. "Stupid sexist jerk," she muttered to her herself turning to walk away. Her face instead was buried in the solid chest of the guy in front of her. She backed up and looked up to see a really hot guy.
'Hot guy, WHOA BAD THOUGHT, BAD,' Sakura thought, shaking her head.
He too had pale skin, but long hair black hair, reddish-blackish eyes and lines going down his face.
"My apologies for my little brother's behavior," he said politely.
He slowly lifted her hand, brought it to his mouth and placed a light feather kiss. Sakura was turning red as a tomato and was having trouble breathing.
"My name is Itachi," he said smoothly. "What's yours?"
Sakura had enough time to collect herself. She then stepped on Itachi's toe roughly snatching her hand away.
"None of your business, and I would appreciate if you would keep your kisses to yourself!" She then walked back over to her friends, glad to get away from the two weird strangers.
"OKKKKKK, YOUUUUUTHHHHHFUUUUULLL STUUUUUDDDEEENNNNTTS," screamed a loud man from the opposite side of the gym. Heads turned to see their gym teacher strutting towards them.
"Oh boy," Sakura whispered, her nose cringing at the sight.
Super tight green jumpsuit and a green vest adored his body. He had a bowl haircut and shiny teeth that blinded everyone.
"TODAY WE WILL BE TAKING IT EASYAND PLAYING SOME BASKETBALL," Gai-sensei screamed at the top of his lungs. "ANY QUESTIONS?!"
Naruto raised his hand. "Why are you screaming?" Naruto asked.
"ANYONE CARE TO ANSWER THE QUESTION?" he yelled again looking over his students.
"YES, SCREAMING IS VERY YOUTHFUL," Rock Lee shouted, stepping forward.
"ROCK LEE!"
"GAI-SENSEI!"
"ROCK LEE!"
"GAI-SENSEI!"
"ROCK-," he was interrupted by the class complaining of the noise the two were making.
"Oh right," said Gai speaking in his inside voice finally. "We have work to do!"
"I want everybody that wants to play basketball to head to the court," Gai announced, blowing his whistle.
Almost every guy wasted no time heading to the court, waiting for further instruction. Since today's class was not for a grade, most of the female classmates decided to sit on the bleachers and tend to other task.
"Oh look pinky is the only girl to play," someone laughed to themselves but loudly enough for her to hear.
Sakura turned to see the raven haired boy from before giving her a look.
"Good," Gai smiled, looking at the eager youth ready to exercise.
"Team 1 will go over here as I read your name off the roll," he announced.
"Sasuke, Rock Lee, Itachi, Sai, Kabuto, and Choji,"
"Team 2 over here," he said.
"Naruto, Gaara, Shino, Shikamaru, Kiba, and Sakura,"
"They got the girl," Sasuke smirked.
"Well, you'll be crying when we beat your butts," Sakura glared at him.
"Why don't we make a deal pinky?" Sasuke smirked even more.
"I'm listening," she said, crossing her arms over her chest.
"If my team wins…you have to give me a kiss," Sasuke stated his demands.
"And kiss?" Sakura frowned. "And if I win?"
"I'll let you pick the punishment or whatever," he said.
"Okay," Sakura smiled. "Deal."
"Well what is it?" Sasuke questioned, growing impatient.
"I'll tell you after you lose," Sakura grinned, her mind full of wonderful ideas on how to embarrass the boy.
"Sakura…are you sure you should be doing this?" Kiba asked.
"Yeah, what if you lose?" Naruto cried. "Then you have to kiss sauce boy," Naruto pointed.
"My name is Sasuke," he answered, glaring at Naruto.
"Don't worry guys," Sakura smiled. "I know how to play basketball,"
"But you have been at beauty school," Shino answered.
"You haven't played in about 3 months," Gaara stated.
"Yeah and if sauce boy touches you, it's on," Naruto spat.
"It's Sasuke," he said once again.
"Oh stay over there," Naruto chimed.
"Don't worry guys," Sakura smiled. "I'm not going to lose," her smile growing bigger.
Gai-sensei blew his whistle. "Pick your player for the jump shot," he announced.
Sasuke walked up to the circle for his team, Sakura for her team. Sasuke glanced at Sakura's lips. There was something about this girl that intrigued him.
"I can't wait till after we win the game," Sasuke whispered loud enough for only Sakura to hear.
"Me too," Sakura smirked, crouching into position.
Gai-sensei blew the whistle and through the ball into the air between the two players.
"GO!"
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
That the end for now guys. Sorry it took so long to update again. I had some writer's block along the way. If you want to see something happen in the story or have any advice, reply. But, people let's keep it T rated. Don't forget to review! Bye!
