I could hardly recognize the face staring back at me in the mirror. My terribly messed up blonde hair had been brushed and straightened and was now chin length. My eyes were lined in black and my lashes lengthened. I looked like...a girl.

"Wow. Now I know why girls get makeovers." I muttered while staring at my reflection. I had refused to let Sakura change my outfit, arguing that it was very cold in the room and I hadn't even been there for an hour. I needed to get used to that place first.

"You've never had a makeover before!?" Sakura practically screamed.

I shook my head and lay back down on my bed. Sakura's face looked so funny! I laughed and pointed at her. "Oh man! You should see your face!"

She turned red and Hinata giggled. "Naruto that's not really nice." She stated.

"What do you mean you never had a makeover before!" It wasn't a question; she just didn't believe me.

"I never wore makeup or ever actually cared about my hair before." What could I say? I'm a guy for Pete's sake!

"OHMYGAWD! You deprived child!" Sakura yelled dramatically. She ran over and hugged me tightly. I guessed, to her, not ever wearing make-up was worse than kicking a puppy.

Hinata tapped the pink-haired girl's shoulder. "Um. Sakura...you're making so much noise...people are going to complain." She said.

And, as if Hinata was psychic, there was a loud knock on the door.

A very loud, and obnoxious voice, called, "Hey! Sakura! Would ya' keep in down in there! Tenten and Temari are trying to do their homework!"

Sakura turned her head to the door, her arms still wrapped around me, (which was really uncomfortable) and yelled back, "You pipe down Ino-pig! I'm trying to help someone here!"

Hinata sighed and gave me a "here we go again" look. I assumed they were always fighting.

"What'd you call me billboard brow!" Suddenly the door burst open and girl with pretty blue eyes and long blonde hair stormed into the room. "You better not have insulted me!"

Sakura released me and I scrambled behind Hinata. The fighting continued and we watched.

"Oh! You know what I said!" Sakura said, poking Ino hard in the shoulder. That only caused the blonde to retaliate by yanking on Sakura's pink hair. The two started and all out chick-fight. It was very intriguing.

After about three minutes of slapping, name-calling, hair pulling, and kicking, Hinata walked in between the girls, causing them to halt.

"Stop it you two please." She ordered in her soft voice. "This happens every day! Don't you guys ever get sick of it!" Did she say every day? Wow.

Ino and Sakura both stared at the younger girl in shock. It was obvious that she had never tried to stop their fighting. Heck! Even I was surprised! And I barely even knew her! The two girls glared at each other, made a "humph" sound and turned their heads.

"God. Girls can be scary!" I thought in my mind. Who knew they could be so violent!

"It's not really going to make a good impression on Naruto-chan with you fighting like this." Hinata added. Chan? Wow that made me shiver! Yet, it somehow amused me.

"Right! I'm sorry Naruto!" Sakura apologized, bowing and letting her pink hair fall into her face. Ino looked at me skeptically.

"Na-ru-to." She said, very slowly. So slow, in fact, that I believed she may had suffered brain damage during her "little" quarrel with my roommate. "What a funny name!" She began to laugh and I turned red, and stared at the ground. No one ever made fun of my name before...

"Ino!" Sakura scolded. "Be nice! She's new and you making fun of her will not help her get used to this place!" She looked at me and sighed. "Look you idiot! You hurt her feelings." She hit Ino in the forehead and Ino growled.

Okay. I thought girl's were scary before! I don't get how they could just go from one mood to another. Must be a hereditary thing...

I looked up and gave them a half-hearted smile. "It's okay. Really. I know it's weird."

The blonde female then ran up to me and held out her hand. "Hey! I'm Ino. Sorry 'bout the insult. Just can't help it sometimes!" She giggled nervously. "How 'bout you and I forget about all that fighting you had to witness and we be friends!"

I took her hand and widened my smile. "Sure. I'd like that."

Not even two hours in that place and I already had three friends! That's a new record considering I never had any friends before anyways.

The three girls just stood there in silence for five minutes. It seemed as if they were having some telepathic conversation only girls could hear. Finally Sakura spoke.

"Hey! We'll take you around the building and introduce you to some people and show you where the classrooms are!" She offered.

"What about the bathrooms and the cafeteria?" Hinata asked timidly.

Ino laughed. "Yeah. Those too. And then we'll take you the lounge and we'll hang out 'till dinner."

"Which, by the way, is always at seven." Sakura stated matter-of-factly while pointing upwards. She looked really smart the way she did that and I told her. Everyone laughed.

"Okay then! Let us get on with this tour!" Ino yelled, pointing at the door and grabbing my wrist. All of the sudden she looked at me and laughed again. "Where are you from, a desert? Geez your tan!"

I could feel my face growing hot and wondered why. "No...just born this way I guess?"

She smiled. "Whatever."

I followed the three girls around the school for about a half hour as they explained just about every little thing about the building. Like: how it was 250 years old, how Jariya the Headmaster lived in the uppermost part of the building, and how he only lets pretty young girls into the school. They weren't being conceded when they said that, and I did notice that every girl, even the teachers and other workers, were beautiful. Did that mean he believed that I was a pretty girl. That thought wigged me out a little so shook it out of my mind. No way.

Suddenly we stopped. I heard gasps and I tried to focus on whatever it was the girls were looking at. As soon as I adjusted to being pulled out of my thoughts I saw. Or rather, I saw him. The dark-eyed, ivory skinned boy from before was walking towards us. I smiled and waved, not knowing what the hell I was actually doing.

"Teme!" I yelled with a stupid grin on my face while pointing at him. Sakura and Ino's eyes widened in shock at what I had just called the boy. Hinata giggled.

Said "teme" looked at me a glared. I laughed. "What do you want girls" He said in a beautiful voice that made my friends melt. They were literally wet puddles on the ground and would be easily mopped up if one tried!

The boy raised a perfectly defined eyebrow and stared at the puddles as if to say "what the hell?" Then he looked at me.

"What did you call me?" He asked.

"Teme." I gave him the biggest smile I ever gave and he shook his head.

"Whatever." He walked by and put his hand in the air. "See ya Hinata, Ino, Sakura." He paused for a moment. "And dobe."

I laughed and then teme was out of sight. Then I looked back down to the two puddles that were slowly morphing back into human shapes. "So who is that jerk?" I asked, pointing a finger in the direction he went.

"That's Uchiha-san." Hinata replied quietly as she too stared at the pink and yellow blobs. "He's the headmaster's grandson. Jariya-sensei lets him live here." She added.

I nodded in acknowledgement. "He's a real jerk."

Hinata also nodded. "Sometimes, but Uchiha-san is really quite caring. But he would never let anyone know that." She smiled.

The two other girls had somehow managed to reform their bodies and were standing in front of me, arms crossed and their eyes piercing my like daggers. I stared back in confusion.

"Why were you so mean to Sasuke-kun?!" Sakura demanded.

"Yeah! You have no right to talk to my Sasuke-kun that way!" Ino added in the same angry tone.

"Please don't do this to her you guys. Naruto doesn't know any better! He's only been here for two hours!" Hinata pleaded. I shot her a thank you look and sighed.

"So. His name's Sasuke...hmm...I like it. Sasuke-teme!" I started laughing and spinning around in circled saying "Sasuke-teme" over and over. That got the pink and the blonde really mad. After about the fifth time saying his name, I was on the ground, and Hinata was trying to pull Sakura off of me while Ino just stood there shaking her head. My eyes were wide with fear. Sakura was a completely different person now. A person who would definitely enjoy kicking the crap out of me. And that's happened way too many times before...

"Chaa!!! When I get my hands on you Naruto, you are dead! How dare you talk about Sasuke-kun that way!" Sakura was about to hit me when a voice stopped her dead in her tracks.

"What are you girls doing?" The deep voice came from the end of the hall. I tilted my head back to see an older man with really long pointy hair staring us, shaking his in disapproval. "What have I told you about your anger Sakura. Tsk. Tsk." He wagged his finger at her like she was just a little puppy and she stood up. Her face was a mixture of guilt and apology.

"I'm sorry, Jariya-sensei." She said.

Hinata helped me up and I couldn't help staring at the man's strange red lines going down his face. Was it paint?

"H-hello. Jariya-sensei." Hinata stutter, staring at the ground. Ino just waved and walked off.

"What was going on in here? Do you know you can get expelled from my school for fighting? Honestly young ladies." He was still shaking his head and he folded his arms over his chest.

Suddenly something came to me I laughed, pointing at the man I said, "So you're the old pervy guy who only lets pretty girls into his school. Nice to meet ya' pervy!"

Hinata and Sakura both stared at me in utter shock at what I had just said. Hinata whispered very softly to me. "That's not good to say to the headmaster of a school Naruto!"

Sakura was speechless and Jariya stared at me for a second. Then laughed and said, "Ah! Great to see a young girl with attitude!" And he laughed again. "You must be Naruto. I need to talk to in my office. Your foster father left me a note about something important."

"You talked to Iruka!" My face lit up at the thought my beloved guardian. "Did he say bad things about me?" Suddenly I felt a little worried that he had said something about my gender. Iruka wouldn't do that to me, would he?

"No. Nothing bad." He laughed and then walked closer to me. "It's just a list of all your medical conditions and hospitalization history."

"Oh." I said, then added with a laugh, "Must be pret-ty long note then!"

"Indeed it is. And I need you to tell me what medications you usually take so I can get them to the nurse ASAP." He replied. "Follow me."

I turned to the two girls, both of whom I had forgotten were there, said goodbye, and followed Jariya down the hallway.
