"Naruto Uzumaki, nice to meet you, Sakura!" The blond yelled at Sakura who leaned back, feeling like she was missing an ear drum.
"Nice to meet you to Naruto." She said to him, giving a small smile.
After their greeting, they walked out into the hall heading to their homeroom class. While they walked, Naruto would say ▒Hi▓ to many other kids that they passed in the hallway. To Sakura, Naruto was one of the more popular kids at Konoha high and she could feel the stares that her peers were giving her as she walked behind Naruto, with her head hung low, staring at her feet as she walked.
Finally, they arrived at a red door with the name ⌠Kakashi Hatake■ on the letter box on the outside of it. When Naruto walked inside Sakura followed inside, after deciding that it was too late to go back out the doors to the school and runaway, again. When she walked through the door, this first thing she noticed was that the teacher wasn▓t there, and it was a minute past the bell. The second thing she noticed was that all the kids in the room turned to look at her. Some stared, in wonder, others turned away in complete disgust,
because she didn▓t look like any of the other girls in this school and that meant she wasn▒t worth someone to talk to. Others turned to their neighbors and started whispering to each other. Sakura▓s jade eye▓s glanced to the back of the room and spotted an empty seat. Sakura decided to make that her seat, for the time being. After Sakura took her seat, she pulled out a black notebook with a cloth that went around the front of the book. Flipping open the notebook, she noticed about half of it was full; she turned it to the next, available, empty page and began scribbling down something▓s.
When Sasuke saw Sakura walk into the classroom behind his best friend Naruto,
his heart skipped a beat. To him she was the most beautiful girl that was at Konoha high and the whole world, even if she were wearing dark clothes (he seemed to like her better in brighter colors, even just by first glance)
"Hey, teme!■ Sasuke tried to block out the irritating sound of his voice,
and tried to distract himself by finding something. ⌠Earth to teme!" But it looked like it was never going to go away. ⌠TEME! STOP IGNORING ME!■ Naruto yelled into Sasuke's ear.
"What the hell do you want, dope?" Sasuke snapped back.
"Did you do last night▓s math homework ?" He asked. Sasuke sighed. He should have expected it to be something about homework, seeing as Naruto never did his (especially his math homework) From his binder on the top of his desk,
he opened and pulled out last nights math homework; complete with the question, answer and how to work it out.
"Here, dope " Sasuke handed it to Naruto, who snatched it out of his hands. "Thanks, teme !" Naruto said, while he started to copy Sasuke▓s math work.
Sasuke▓s thoughts started to trail back to the pink haired girl. He thought it was weird that a girl had pink hair rather than the normal colors: gold,
brown, red, or black. And those piercing green eye▓s! They weren▓t like anything he▓d ever seen before. He thought she was unique, really unique.
Sasuke decided that he had to know more about the new girl in his class.
"Hey, dope, who▓s the new girl ?" He asked to Naruto. He decided he should at least know her name, that would have been enough for him. Naruto gave Sasuke a look that said 'What the hell? Teme wants to know about a girl'
Naruto didn▓t even try to hide the shock that was displayed on his face.
Finally, he recovered from his shock and told Sasuke all that he knew about the new girl. "Her name is Sakura Haruno. She transferred here from Konoha School for Advanced Arts"
When Sasuke was about to ask why she would come here from her old school,
their decided to finally show up in the class, walking in late, as usual.
"Sorry, that I▓m late, I wa- " He tried to say an excuse, but he was cut off by his students.
"LIAR!" They yelled, that their perverted teacher, returning to their correct seats.
"Kakashi-sensei! Their▓s a new student today!" Naruto yelled, the echo of his voice piercing Kakashi▓s ear and Sasuke▓s, who happened to be sitting right next to him. Lucky Sasuke.
Kakashi looked out at the faces that belonged to his students. Most were familiar to him, but one he didn▓t know. Then, all the way in the back, he saw a Goth girl with pink hair, leaning over a notebook to hide what she was writing .
"Would the new student please come up to the front of the classroom and say a little about herself?" Kakashi asked Sakura when he walked up to the desk in the back row that she had chosen.
Sakura slowly got up to her seat and walked to the front of the classroom to where Kakashi had pointed to when she had looked up at him. She took in a small gulp of air; everyone▓s eye▓s glued to her, making her feel really uncomfortable. She didn▓t want to do this, she hated being the center of attention, and now here she was; standing in front of her class.
"My name is Sakura Haruno. I'm 16, and I transferred here from Konoha School for Advanced Arts" Sakura said, out to the class that she had been 'cursed'
with.
"Why are you in the 11th grade if you are only 16?" A girl, with red hair and black rimmed glasses, asked/yelled to Sakura .
Sakura answered the question calmly, not understanding why they couldn▓t ask questions when she was sitting down. "I skipped the 10th grade." ⌠Alright Sakura, take a seat next to Ice Cube over there■ Kakashi commanded, in a calm voice, pointing to Sasuke in the second to last seat in the last row next to the door, all the way in the back; close to where she had been sitting. Sakura then thought it was enough torment, and walked back to the seat Kakashi had assigned her with, just now. She felt the small glare that followed her from the red head that had asked her why she had skipped a grade. Then, when she was about to confront the girl with red hair, the bell rang for the next class to begin. Everyone grabbed their belongings and left to the next class.
Her next class was math with Iruka Umino.
"So, you see," Iruka stated, writing the result of one of the problems on the
board. Everyone was, either, asleep, or on their way. Only, a half asleep
Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke were still awake. "The answer is 18" Iruka turned
around and faced his desk, putting the cap back on the marker and putting it
on the desk. Sakura noticed something incorrect on the board and raised her
hand to tell her math teacher.
"Yes, Sakura?" Iruka asked, when he looked up and noticed Sakura's hand.
"Um┘ Sir, the answer is 3.5, not 18" Sakura said, pointing it out.
" I do believe that you are the one with the wro-■ He turned back to the
board and stared at the problem, examining it. ⌠Well, it looks like you are
right. Would you come up to the board and show how you got your answer"
Without an answer, Sakura got up from the seat that she had been assigned to
in the front row. Then, she walked up to the front of the room and picked up
the marker that went along with the smart board.
Sasuke watched Sakura work out the problem from the back row. He was amused at how she had worked that out that kind of problem in her head. He had to use two sheets of paper to figure out the problem and she only used her brain and no paper; he was the smartest kid in their math class and he wasn▓t able to figure it out before she did! Sasuke watched Sakura▓s hand travel across the board to correct the teachers mistakes in the math problem. As Sasuke watched her hand travel across the board, he felt like she had casted a spell on Sasuke with numbers and symbols. He knew that he was in love with the 'witch'
