THE FIRST DAY OF A CRAZY SCHOOL YEAR

Monday Morning

"...chicken...butt...he..he.."

"Sakura-san please wake up"

"mm?"

"It's already 7:00, if you didn't wake up your going to be late." Hinata trying to wake up the sleeping Haruno.

"FUCK!" She muttered grabbing her alarm clock so she could see what time it was.

Sakura rapidly jumped out of her bed a rushed to the bathroom to wash her face, brush her teeth and comb her hair. She had never overslept before, especially the first day of class. She went to her walk in closet and start to think what was she going to wear. "mmm...nothing to flashy and something easy to train with, I got it"! She grab her new pink and black sparring outfit which she bought two weeks ago. Sakura found some black gloves to go with the outfit and put them on. The whole time Hinata was waiting for her, she grabbed her bag and her forehead protector which had the village's symbol on it. Hinata and Sakura arrived at the main building of the complex, thats where almost all of the classes are taken place. At the entrance they both went in different ways and wishing luck to one another.

"Good luck, Hinata-chan, don't let them intimidate you!"

"Th-hanks and you too!"

She was just on time. When she entered the classroom she spotted Ino. It was good to see a familiar in a huge crowd. After she sat down next to the blond she looked around and saw some 'classmates' gluing their eyes on to her body and drooling over her . "Great...what I need now. Pathetic fan boys" In a few seconds appeared the teacher. She had dark brown short hair and dark eyes. She wore a purple pattern kimono. Their was a calm expression on her face but Sakura knew looks can be deceiving

"I'm Shizune and I'm your new biology teacher this year." She introduced herself to the class. "I will not tolerate any out of line behavior or any slaking of in my class, do I make myself clear?"

"Yes" said the class unwillingly

"Ok then, lets begin with the course."

Ino was trying hard not to sleep but Sakura was quite the opposite. She her attention was caught by the class. She wrote down word-by-word everything the teacher said. She also raised her hand like lighting when Shiunze asked questions to the students. She loved this subject. She was hypnotized by it. In result of all this, she caught Shizune's good-side while disfortunately many didn't. She quickly tried to wake up Ino because she saw her teacher glancing at her and she didn't have a happy happy joy joy look on her face.

"...Ino..wake up.." Sakura whispered but got no answer from the blond.

"..Ino please wake..."

'You left me no choice'.

Sakura grabbed her hand and using her inhuman strength she slightly squeeze Ino's hand causing her to groan in pain quietly. '..Owww.' Ino silently groaned. She was used to this tactic ever since they were in 6th grade. Sakura rarely does it when Ino's in her deep slumber during class so her friend wouldn't be scowled at by the teacher. With years of practice, they mastered that trick without getting caught. After class was dismissed, Ino thanked Sakura for saving her from her embarrassment in class. They had a five minute recess before there next class. This, 4th and 6th period with her and right now Ino was heading towards her mathematics class. Sakura still didn't had a clue where she needed to go. The only thing she knew that her second period was combat training with a professor called Kakashi Hatade. While walking Ino to her class, she tried to overhear if anybody around her had her period too but it was hopeless.

"..Um Sakura?"

"Yeah?"

"Do you know where your next class will be?"

"He he...about that...eee."

"Here you go. This is a map of the School's campus grounds." Ino handed over the map. "There is a directory here that shows you where every class is taken at and with whom."

"Ooh thanks Ino, you saved me from being tardy!" She caught the kunoichi in a hug. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!"

"Ok ok but know go to class or YOU'RE going to be LATE."

"Ok see ya!!!"

"Bye!"

Sakura added more velocity in her walk. It looked like she was jogging. She had no time to loose. Her next class was located in a small building next to the main one. Lucky she had the map and that it wasn't far from Ino's class. 'Thank god'. She exit the building and saw a huge Colosseum. This was bigger than her old school. The bell has rung. She started to run and accidentally she bumped into someone causing him to drop his bag.

' Oops..sorry. I'm in a hurry. Sorry for that.' She hesitated in apologizing without looking who it was. She didn't help him pick up his stuff and ran towards her class afraid that she'll be late.

"Klutz." Sasuke thought to himself staring at the running girl with a evil playful glare. Sakura arrived at her class. She looked around and noticed that the teacher wasn't there yet.

"SAKURAAA"

She turned around to she who was calling her. She saw a brunette running towards her.

"I'm so glad we got the same class!" Tenten smiled

" Yeah I know. I hope we get to be sparring partners!"

"Sorry class I was 15 minutes late. But my reason is that I was giving a elderly lady some directions to the principle's office." said a spiky silver hair ninja with a navy blue mask covering his mouth.

" THATS A LIE AND YOU NO IT KAKASHI!!!" Yelled the class while the teacher sweat dropped

"Ok then... Well for those who don't know me my name is Kakashi Hatake but you can address me only by Kakashi." he said reading a Icha Icha Paradise book in his hand. "Today we are going to see who is going to be your sparring partner today by setting up small battles against each other. But remember during the year I might change your partner with someone else just to complicate things."

"Hm great, just what i need"Sakura whispered it to Tenten causing her to giggle.

" Miss Haruno you got a problem with that? he said calmly

"Ummm..no no, no pro-problem here." she gave out her big fake smile out.

"Good, then you won't mind if you started us of with the first fight, will you?

"No, not at all." She said sarcastically

"Ok then you opponent will be...Jenis Momoko."

The first sparring was just to show the class how it was going to be for the year. Sakura always hated to be first because usually there are about 4 fights at the sometime. As they greeted each other and show good sportsmanship they shakes hands.

"Your going down pinky. Sasuke-kun is mine and I'll prove it to you." She threaten Sakura quietly only for her to hear.

Sakura was pissed at her for just calling her pinky. She didn't know who was this Sasuke and didn't care. All she wanted now was to kick that bitch's ass. She let out her scariest glare which intimidated her opponent Tenten knew that glare out of nowhere. She knew that this fight was going to end quickly and painfully.'That dumb ass just had to call her pinky, didn't she'. She chuckled. Next to Tenten was Naruto who looked at her with confusing expression on her face.

"Whats so funny Tenten?"

"Nothing, look at Sakura's face"Turning his face from Tenten to Sakura.

"She's scary."

"There one thing about her that I will never forget."

"And that is..?"

"Never calling her pinky. I kind of feel sorry for that poor hopeless naive girl there."

"Why is that? Jenis is one of our finest Kunoichis here." Naruto had a very confused expression in his face wondering why is she so condiment of her friend.

"You'll see. Just watch and enjoy the show, Naruto."

They both got in their fighting pose. Sakura was clutching her fist and tried to remember not to beat her into a pulp. Jenis had a confident look on her face. As Kakashi blew the whistle, the battle has begun. She threw ninja stars at Sakura. Sakura reached for her kunai and used it block the ninja stars with ease. After her block, her opponent run up to her to punch her in the face. Again she blocked it with ease and let out a smirk. Instantly she gave a right hook at Janis sending her across the arena. She was just toying with her. When she walked up to the injured obsessed fan-girl, a kunai with a explosive note was thrown at Sakura.

"SAKURA!" yelled Naruto.

Within seconds she appeared behind her opponent without a scratch on her face. She escape the explosion. The kunoichi decided to finish it because it was getting boring and she didn't like to show off. Jenis tried again to hit her using a kick but it was in vain. Sakura caught her leg from hitting her head and sent Jenis flying with one of her kicks into her gut. Later she caught her in midair and gave her another striking blow causing her fall hard against the concrete floor and cracking it. Before her punching bag fell on the floor, she grabbed four kunais and once she fell on the floor, she pinned her clothes onto the floor so Janis won't get up anymore. Sakura finished the fight with out even breaking a sweat. She knelled down at the pinned down Jenis and whispered in her ear "Don't ever call me pinky again."

"GO SAKURA!" cheered Tenten and Naruto. Next to Naruto was Sasuke Uchiha who knew that Sakura was only toying with her and that she barely used up any of her chakra. He smirked to see how looks can fool people. Who would ever know that within that delicate exterior hid such a ruthless ninja. He was impressed, not shocked but impressed. He was wondering what is her true power and what she was capable of.

"Did you see that?! When she escaped the explosion and..and.. when she sent Jenis flying and and...!"

"She was only toying with her dobe." Said Sasuke cutting him of.

"Huh? What do you mean"

"She was holding back."

"How can you tell, teme?"

"Just a hunch. Isn't that right Tenten?" The naive boy looked away from Sasuke to Tenten.

"Actually he's correct Naruto. That's nothing compare of what she is really capable of." She said waving at her friend. "I'll watch my back if I were you." she added left the boys to celebrate with her friend.

"Impressed, teme? And why are you staring at her again?" hearing this, Tenten raised an eyebrow at Sasuke waiting for a response.

"I have now one fan-girl off my back now." Sasuke smirked ignoring his friend's question.

"Answer my question teme!"

"Up next Sasuke Uchiha vs Hikaru Achimakuro." Announced Kakashi

"Teme your not off the hook that easily"

"Whatever."

Sasuke's fight was also short. Actually It finished within three minutes. He just wanna get over with it and not lose time. Sasuke wasn't a patient man at all. Poor guy didn't knew what hit him. He didn't even need to activate his sharingan during his battle.

"Ok Then the sparring partners will be ..."Kakashi started to read a long list. "Sakura with Tenten...Neji with Sasuke...Naruto with Lee..."

The bell has rung and everybody rapidly left. Tenten and Sakura left together without a scratch on them. It was a piece of cake to them. They left giggling and talking about gossip until they heard a familiar voice calling them.

"Hey wait up!" screamed the blond boy.

"Oh hello Naruto." said Sakura.

"That was amazing there. Sakura,you did showed there who's the boss! You too Tenten!"

"Arigato" both girls said with bright smiles on their faces.

"Isn't that right, Sasuke?"

"It was ok, for a beginner." he coldly responded wondering

'FOR A BEGINNER, HELL NO! I'LL SHOW HIM WHOSE THE BEGINNER HERE!' Sakura glared at him and was about to punch him senseless until Tenten interrupted.

'Man she needs anger management.' " Umm you guys were great too but we better ge€t going right Sakura?" she dragged Sakura by the arm heading to their next class."Bye"

"Bye Naruto, bye Sasuke...fucking baka" She said it with a scowl on her face and at a very low tone so that he wouldn't hear it but he did but he pretended that he didn't heard the last part.

Finally it was the last my last period. But to her dismayed her teacher assigned them there seats. At least she gets to sit next to somebody she knows. Her professor was called Asuma. He had black hair with a beard and always smoked a cigarette "Isn't smoking not allowed in school?" He assigned her to sit next to Naruto, who sitting next to Sasuke. Each table consisted of three students each and explained that those students who you're sharing a table with are your teammates. Sakura's team was called team seven. She wasn't happy about being paired up with Sasuke since they got off a rocky start but at least she got Naruto to talk to. Naruto was talkative as usual and Sasuke tried to ignored him completely. He was 24/7 radio without an off button.

"Sakura-chan, I didn't know you have a tattoo." Sasuke was eavesdropping Naruto's conversation.

"Oh this? I got it two years ago." She was nervous talking about it.

"It's really cool. I have one too. I got one ever since i was born. I got mine on my stomach."

"Ooh" smiling back.

"Sasuke also has one on his neck too. Isn't that right teme?" Pointing at his bench partner.

"Hm"

"Yours looks pretty Saku-chan." grinning from ear to ear and this caused her to have a light blush across her face. However, Sasuke was observing the pink hair girl's tattoo. It was an odd one in fact. "Why does it look so familiar?"

"Thanks but can you please let me concentrate Naruto." In other words she told him to back off in a polite way. He didn't realize what she really meant but Sasuke was suspicious about that symbol. But he didn't bother to investigate about this. Why should he care anyways. It's just a stupid tattoo.

"Now class we should start a project due in the next two months." After Asuma said that the room was filled with complaints and groans

"Your groups get to pick which topic to do. And remember it's teamwork. There's no I in team so that means all of you should know about your project."

'Now I gotta work with his blond radio head and an arrogant idiot. I hope they're smart.' Sakura just buried her face in her hands and prayed to kami that this 'team project' will go well. At last the finally bell has rung, ending the first day of her senior year. Reaching for the door, she heard her name being shouted.'What now!'

"Sakuraaa, tomorrow we're going to the library to get started on the project, can you stop by about 4:30?" Naruto asked her and only received a nod. Then she disappeared into the sea of students.

When she arrived at her dorm, all of her friends were there, talking about their day and how did it went. Sakura dropped her bag and dived into her bed. Hinata was sitting on her bed Indian style, Ino sat on the leather couch and Tenten was comfortably on the indigo beanbag.

"Saku-chan, why so glum?" Tenten asked with a cheerful expression.

"I got paired up to do a project with a walking radio and a snotty bastard. life's unfair."

"Ha, don't tell me. You got paired up with Naruto." the girls burst into laughter except Hinata slightly giggled. "Don't worry at least he's not a bad person, well I think."

"Oh ya, since my day was so interesting what about yours, mmmm?"

"It was alright I guess."

"What do you mean alright?! She spent half the day talking to Hinata's cousin, Neji." Ino snapped giving Tenten the urge to throw any pointy object at her and the others giggle.

"NO I WASN'T! Shut up miss I-flirt-all-the-time-with Shika-kun."

"Shika-kun?" Sakura grinned at Ino making her go red as a tomato.

"Oh stop it forehead. It's not like I got a pervert around me."

"Huh?"

"Tenten told me that Uchiha guy was checking you out... more like looking at your package." Sakura turned her attention to Tenten who was laughing nervously.

"Is this true Tenten?!"

"...hhheeee..kind of."

"Great now I got a radio and a pervert as partners!!" She dug here face into her pillow whining

-"Do-don't worry Sakura-chan, we wi-ll be here if anything happens." Trying no to cry due to how hard she laughed at Sakura's last comment, Hinata tried to cheer up her roommate

"Sorry to end this lovely conversation but we gotta go,its almost time for my favorite soap opera! ." Ino squealed leaving with Tenten. "And we have to do a 2000 word essay for Kurenai due on Friday." The brown haired kunoichi added.

SASUKE AND NARUTO

"Teme, you didn't answer my question."

"Hm?"

"Don't play dumb with me. Why were you staring at Sakura-chan like that?"

"..."

"Answer me or is it that you were checking here out." Naruto put on his most devilish smile ever and started to taunt the Uchiha.

"Hm"

"What does hm means??"

Sasuke, not bothered to answer, reached his ipod nano and played "Last Resort" by Papa Roach trying to drown out the blond's voice.

-"ANSWER ME TEME!"

"...don't give a fuck if i let my arm bleeding.."Concentrated in the lyrics and singing singing it.

"FINE THEN I'M GOING TO THINK THAT YOU HAVE THE HOTS FOR HER!" Sasuke still ignored the annoying teen.

"...stop talking and go to bed dobe."

"Sleep dreams with Saku-chan then." muttered it out with a smirk. "Sasuke and Sakura sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G"

"..Baka.." He reached for something hard and heavy on the floor and threw it at Naruto, not allowing him to finish the preschool pathetic chant. In result, he groan in pain rubbing his head just where Sasuke hit him. Sasuke chuckled by seeing his friend in pain. Revenge is sweet.
