First Impression!
"Sakura?" The woman peeked through the door and entered with a bag and what looked like to be uniform.
"Oh, good morning!" Sakura smiled, the sun shone down on her face with a warm greeting.
"I see that you've slept well, I've enrolled you into the school that my boys attend. They say that they'll see what year level standard you're at and put you in it, Sasuke will show you the way to the school." She paused, "is that alright?" the woman added in.
"Oh yes, fine, thank you!"
"Since you're sick, you can just start today and maybe skip the next days until you're ready,"
"Oh I think I'll be fine," The woman gave another light chuckle.
"Good, now you can have breakfast downstairs, I'll make it,"
"Please, let me help, it's the least I can do." The woman chuckled.
"It's better that you rest, it's your first day and you're quite sick," She smiled at her and walked downstairs, turning around again she laughed nervously.
"Here, I've prepared you your lunch and I think this is about your size," She placed a white loose top and a gray pleated skirt along with long white baggy socks and black t-bar shoes. She quickly walked over to Sasuke's bed and shook him gently, kissing him on the forehead.
"Time to wake up Sasuke," Sasuke turned onto his back and smiled at her warm face and she smiled back.
"I'll go wake your aniki up and then you get up okay?"
"Nnn," He threw the blankets off him and Sakura immediately turned her head away, his bare chest had instantly caught her eyes and now she wanted to look again.
The mother had walked out and Sasuke looked at Sakura, blinking.
"What are you doing in here?" He asked with a confused expression.
"I don't know… I woke up in this bed," Sakura got up, covering her body and quickly slipping into her dress when he wasn't looking. She pulled her socks on and looked at herself in the mirror.
Wow. This material is so soft and new, it even smells nice. I don't feel like I deserve this! Sakura thought to herself, she patted her skirt down and rolled out the crinkles. It actually fitted perfectly, the skirt reached above her knees and the shirt sleeves were just the right length.
There was also a pull over jumper, Sakura quickly slipped into it, it was heavy, but fitted nicely.
Sakura quickly walked out, she had forgotten the way around the house! She must've been sleepy last night, spotting the stairs, she walked down and came to the living room which she recognized, then walking around she entered the kitchen where three plates sat with lovely warm toast on top, spread with jam. Sakura's eyes lit up from hunger, she hardly had good meals, only meager bread and fruits were all.
"Thanks for everything," She sat down and began to munch away.
"No problem." She gave another one of those warm smiles, she then sighed. "Where is that Sasuke and Itachi? Boys!" She called up the stairs and they came running down.
Sitting down without a word and gobbling away with full uniform, navy blue shirts with black pants and gray jacket, they then stood up and rushed to the bathroom which Sakura guessed would be brushing the teeth. Only after a few rushed minutes, they came rushing out with their backpacks and running out.
"Oh, I'm so sorry! I should've guessed, there's assembly today! Quick, hurry!" The woman hustled her out and Sakura ran after the two, grabbing the rest of her toast.
&&
Up ahead the boys ran faster than her by far, Sakura was panting already, boys were too athletic! Sakura stopped for a bit as they paused to wait for the cars to pass, then running again Sakura quickly scrambled after them.
Cars screeched and began to honk at her, she was definitely not used to this! She quickly crossed the road barely avoiding a car's bumper and Sasuke suddenly ran beside her, grabbing her hand and jerking her hard as he ran at lightning speed.
He didn't let go for at least ten minutes and he finally let go as they reached a large building. Sakura rubbed her wrist and walked after the boys who remained silent.
"Watch out," Sakura was suddenly jerked back and collided into a body behind her, she stared in front where a car came speeding out of the parking driveway, she looked behind her to see Sasuke's hair blowing freely around his face and his emotionless eyes boring into her.
"Thanks," She was sure that a red tinge appeared on her cheeks, trying to ignore it she stumbled after the boys again, then hearing a great cheer.
"Woohoo Sasuke! Who's that hot chick?! Where did she come from?!" A blonde kid came running towards him and clapped him on the back in that masculine way Sakura always saw boys doing.
The blonde kid looked at her and Sakura stepped back timidly, Sasuke smirked and chuckled softly.
"No. She just stumbled in our house, my mother insisted we take care of her," He muttered and the blonde kid approached her.
"Hey, maybe you could stumble into my house sometime," He lifted his brows up and down suggestively and Sakura frowned.
"Just shut up, we're already late," Sasuke turned him around and they walked off. Unsure of where to go, Sakura walked after them, keeping a safe distance away from the blonde kid. Abruptly, Sasuke slowed down and walked next to Sakura.
"Every second Monday we have assembly, they'll probably call you up on the stage to introduce yourself and then after it ends, they'll call you to their office, you'll get your schedule and then someone will tour you around the school. Any questions?"
"No," Just talking that much made Sasuke sound like the teacher.
They all entered a great hall, Sakura was sure that the people were just one year level.
"What year level is this?"
"Twelve,"
"And you know what the great thing about this year is?!" The blonde kid nudged Sakura in the ribs, "there's going to be a formal this year!"
"A what?"
"Sasuke! Where did this girl come from?! I want one!"
"This is Naruto… the dobe." Sasuke waved his hand lazily at the blonde kid.
"Naruto…" Sakura repeated the name.
"Yup! That's me! Who are you?"
"Sakura,"
"Sakura what?"
"Ummm…" Sakura thought hard, was it possible? That she couldn't remember her last name?! She never even thought about her last name for… years! What was wrong with her?!
"I… don't know," Sakura creased her brow and Sasuke looked at her weirdly, but it wasn't one of those looks where he thought she was stupid, if Sakura wasn't mistaken it looked like he was entranced in something, his eyes actually had… colour.
"You don't know?!" The three sat down, Sakura in the middle with Naruto on her left and Sasuke on her right, she stared down at her palms.
"Naruto, shut up." The hall turned silent as a woman with a big chest approached the microphone on the stand.
"Welcome to a new week, first up announcements…" The woman checked her paper, looking like she was skimming through it all, "yea, yea we already know all that…hmmm… what is this crap?!" The students giggled to themselves as the woman vented her anger, "oh here's something new! We have a new student…hmmm.. Sakura… can she come up here?" She craned her neck and Sakura felt her face immediately grow red as she stood up and approached the stand.
Her face turned even a deeper red as boys cheered for her and she faced the hall, hundreds of eyes were on her.
"Well, since I can't be bothered doing this assembly anymore, I won't ask you to introduce yourself. Alright everyone, go to your class!"
After everyone poured out, the headmistress which Sakura guessed she was, gestured her to follow her into an office.
"So, I heard that you never attended high school before. I'll have to test you anyway…so here, take this. It's a mixed subject of everything, of every year level. You have forty minutes," She threw her the paper and a pencil and eraser.
"Oh by the way, I am Tsunade, the headmistress here. Any questions and just ask me,"
&&
Sakura smiled and pushed the paper forwards, she was confident that she had done well. Tsunade creased her brow.
"Twenty minutes have only passed, are you sure you're done? You can't take it back," She took it as Sakura nodded, she quickly skimmed through the answers and her sheet, lifting her eyebrows in surprise.
"Wow… h-have you ever been in tuition? Or any extra curriculum?" Sakura shook her head and she put the paper down, writing a score on it, passing it to Sakura.
"Ninety three percent?"
"You're pretty smart Sakura, and it was mostly the lower level questions you got wrong, which I would assume you would pick up easily… hmm. Tell you what, I'm going to put you into year 12. See how you cope and tell me if you want to change year levels," Sakura was speechless.
"Schedule, books, stationery, you'll be fine,"
What? Is this real?! Wait… if Sasuke's in year twelve… what's his brother Itachi in?! Hmm.. must be in university. Hm, no wonder he disappeared so suddenly.
Sakura must've been daydreaming because she had just walked into a room she didn't even know!
The students stared at her silently, some boys smirked at her while staring at her body.
"I'm Sakura… I think I'm in this classroom." She stared at her paper, first up was math.
"Hmm. Welcome…Sakura, I am Kakashi sensei, take a seat somewhere," Kakashi scanned the room for spare seats.
Sakura walked to up the aisle to find a spare table, she smiled as she spotted a familiar face, Sasuke. Although… it seemed like he was some sort of magnet, numerous girls surrounded him while sprawled all over him, giggling and touching his arm. She could tell by Sasuke's face that he did not like it, Naruto which Sakura assumed was his closest friend couldn't even get to him.
"Sasuke Kun!" Sakura clamped her mouth, did I just say Kun?? She frowned and walked over to him, the girls gave her deadly glares, Sakura wouldn't be making any friends today!
"Sasuke Kun!-" Sakura's eyes flicked over to a girl with long blonde hair and lovely blue eyes.
"Sakura! Please take a seat," Sakura quickly obeyed and sat down next to the blonde girl, "Ino, since you're so talkative, why don't you tell me what 'x' equals to" Sakura looked up at the equation written on the whiteboard.
"Uhh… one?" She chuckled nervously.
"Hmm. Maybe you should spend less time with Sasuke and more time studying, Ino." The boys chuckled to themselves as the rest of the girls gave glares.
"Anyone else know the answer?"
Sakura looked around the class, half looked quite nervous and the other half looked like they weren't even bothered, someone even looked like he was sleeping.
Sakura timidly put her hand up and she instantly felt every pair of eyes on her.
"Yes Sakura?"
"Negative five squared over three hundred and eighteen?" Sakura bit her lip, she was either going to be humiliated on the first day, or be called some sort of nerd or smart kid.
"Correct!" Kakashi praised her and turned around, writing more questions on the board. Out of the corner of her eyes, Sakura could feel the girl Ino glare at her.
