Sakura walked right past the popular kids who were sitting at The Fountain. She saw them all gaping at her and just closed her eyes and kept walking. She was only a few feet behind The Fountain when she decided to take a seat under a beautiful Cherry Blossom Tree. She leaned her back against the bark and pulled one knee up to her chest. She let her other leg stretch out some since it was still tight from her run this morning. She readjusted her earplugs and turned her music back on. She smirked when she looked over at the popular kids who were all still gaping at her like she was a retard. She wasn't the one sitting there with her mouth open like an idiot.

She let her head fall back against the bark and closed her eyes as she tried to relax. She had just about zoned out when she could hear the faint sound of the bell ring. She didn't bother to turn her music off as she stood up and walked towards the school building. She thought that this was really a good hang out spot because the side door to the school was just past The Fountain. No one every used the side door so there wouldn't be any commotion. Sakura smirked. She would be sitting in her new spot for a long time.

Sakura had already passed up the Fountain and watched as the bitches and bastards stared her down like she really was an idiot. She couldn't help but wonder why they weren't moving but decided she didn't care enough to ask so she just kept walking right into the school building. She almost burst out in laughter when she realized that her homeroom was the first classroom from the side door. Yeah she had found the perfect hang out spot.

Sakura walked into her homeroom and took a seat all the way in the back she was starting to wonder why none of the students were coming in after she heard the late bell ring. She sat there alone in the classroom for another five minutes before turning her music on and pulling out a her schedule. Homeroom ended in ten minutes. Where was everyone?

Sakura was pissed when the bell rang telling her it was time for first period. She almost died when she looked at her schedule and saw that first period was in the very same room and with the very same teacher who still wasn't here. Then again the students weren't here either. Sakura sat listening to her music until the late bell rang again. Ten minutes after that she was beginning to wonder if she had done something wrong. She stood up and walked down the steps of each isle until she was on the ground floor. Then she turned and walked out the door intending to go to the office and ask why there was no teacher or students in her room.

"Hey where are you going? You're going to be late." Some girl yelled. Sakura looked around and saw the popular kids coming from the side door. She rolled her eyes as she turned off her music. They were already late.

"What are you talking about? Class started like ten minutes ago." Sakura said slightly pissed because she felt stupid. She must have missed some memo.

"Wow. You are way out of the loop. You must have never have had Kakashi before." A girl with brown hair in two buns said. She was wearing shorts that weren't too short but still complemented her. She had on a tank top that said 'anything guys can do Girls have done better.' She seemed okay so far for a brat at least.

"That's the teacher's name? Good because I'm going tell the office that I did not get forced to come to this school to sit around in an empty classroom." Sakura yelled more to herself then the group. She wasn't used to having someone to talk to so she didn't realize she should have watched what she said.

Sakura saw the asshole from earlier smirk obviously liking her way out of the loop.

"No you can't tell the office. We like him being late. See he is always this late. You get to sit outside and hang out with your friends longer then anyone else if you have him. We were way lucky we got him as homeroom and first period." The girl explained.

Sakura let her mouth form on 'o'. That was why they thought she was an idiot for going in so early. She shrugged.

"Well he better get here soon." Sakura said turning around to walk back into the classroom. They were staring at her again and she couldn't help but wonder what she did wrong now.

"Bitch. You are so rude." One of the girls said. Sakura turned around and realized who had said it. She was nothing but a blonde slut.

"At least I'm not a slut." Sakura said as she kept walking right up the stairs and past the isles until she was in the very back one. They all followed her up and she flinched when she felt Sasuke's presence next to her. Sakura was happy she sat by the window so she would only have to sit by one of these monsters.

Sakura turned her I pod back on and changed the song to Pedestal by Fergie. She started nodding her head to the music and didn't stop when Sasuke looked over to her and raised an eyebrow. She knew what he was thinking right away. 'Why are you wearing a Korn shirt and listening to Fergie?' Sakura would admit it was a little strange but she had a very wide variety when it came to music. She usually only listened to heavy stuff like Korn when her mind would start to spin and her nightmares came back to haunt her. It helped her to drown out her own screaming voice. Sasuke was about to comment and Sakura saw this so she started to sing the words out loud.

"Who are you and what do you do that makes you think you're above me, but have you walked in my shoes? The pedestal you put yourself on…Well since im breaking it down now it's going to collapse and be gone." Sakura said and smirked at Sasuke's surprised face. She couldn't decided if he was shocked a Goth had such a soft angelic voice or if he was stunned that the very words to the song answered his question before he even asked it.

He shook his head in a disapproving manner and furrowed his eyebrows as he turned the other way to talk to Naruto, who was sitting on his left. Sakura just blared the music and waited as the rest of the kids came into the classroom. They all stared at her like she was crazy but she flat out ignored them and when one girl mouthed out bitch she flipped her off.

It was at least another ten minutes before Kakashi came in the classroom and pointed to Sakura and then to his own ear. Sakura understood and turned her I pod off.

"Alright class. It's the first day and I don't want to deal with you so we are starting a project. You will be put into groups of three. Just go down the rows accordingly starting with Sasuke, Sakura, and Naruto as group one." Kakashi said. Sasuke frowned and folded his arms in a very childish manner. Naruto jumped for joy and Sakura just furrowed her eyebrows and looked out the window she was sitting by. She was always bad with group stuff. She usually just bailed out and let the rest of her group do the work. They usually didn't have a problem with it because they didn't want to hang out with her. She smirked Sasuke hated her and would never work with her. This was actually a good group.

Sakura was sad to say that she had all of her classes with Sasuke. She luckily only had two classes with Ino because Sakura was a genius and was in all honors while Ino was only in two honors classes. Sakura smirked at that. Ino was just a dumb slutty blonde. No problem there. Those were really the only two people she hated: Ino and Sasuke. Besides that she really just disliked or didn't care about the other students in her classes.

She had already been to four of her classes and it was time for Lunch. Sakura remembered last years lunches and flinched. She always sat alone. No matter this year she was a sophomore and she could go anywhere she wanted on campus. She would eat her lunch quickly and head for the gym to train. Sakura walked into the cafeteria and snorted when she realized she had gotten there earlier and there were only a few kids there including the popular clique.

Sakura snorted as she passed the cleanest table in the cafeteria located right in the middle. Of course it was where Sasuke and his gang sat. Sakura rolled her eyes and just kept walking.

"Bitch." Ino called.

"Slut." Sakura said while she flipped her off without even turning around.

"Ino, you shouldn't be so mean to her. She doesn't have any friends. In fact we should invite her to sit with us." A blonde kid said. He probably only intended his group to hear but he was a loud mouthed idiot and Sakura heard him loud and clear. Her blood grew hot and she turned around and walked over to the table. She got right into the kids face.

"Listen up you little prick, the only reason I don't have friends is cuz they are nothing but a bunch of fucking back stabbing fakes. I would bet a million fucking dollars that anyone one of these liars would let you die before themselves." Sakura screamed pissed that this boy really thought she didn't have friends because she couldn't. She could make friends if she wanted to. She just chose to be independent instead. Naruto looked down letting his bangs cover his face and it all got very quiet. He looked up and his blue eyes were shining with determination.

"Would you die for me Sakura chan?" He asked. Sakura flinched in disgust at the nickname.

"Would you die for me, baka?" She spat. He nodded.

"I think you're a good person. You're just lost in the darkness right now and I'd do anything to get you out." The boy said smiling at her. Sakura took a step back in alarm.

"Lair!" She spat through clenched teeth.

"You think? Why don't you sit with us?" Naruto asked and Sasuke looked at him completely thrown back.

"No!" He said. Sakura looked at him and smiled almost happy the world was falling back into its hell whole state. At least when everything was screwed up you knew what to expect: pain and hurt. That was much more reassuring then Naruto's happy unpredictable world.

"See, I told you. Naruto, this world isn't a happy go lucky place. You're just lucky you're to bliss to see the truth: in this world it's everybody for themselves." Sakura said smirking that she was in control of the conversation: that she was right.

"That's not true, Sakura chan. I'll prove it to you." Naruto said smiling even wider.

"Go ahead and try." Sakura sighed in exasperation. This guy was persistent. Naruto got up and walked over to the table in the corner where Sakura was going to sit. He put his tray on the table and sat down. He looked up at her and beckoned her to come and sit. Everybody just stared at him amazed.

"Come and sit with me Sakura chan!" Naruto called. Sakura shook her head disapprovingly and walked over to sit by him.
