Are you ready?, I asked my Inner.
I was awarded with an eager and egually loud, Shannaro!
I grinned to myself as I saw how close the gates were to closing. Somewhere deep in my mind I knew I was crazy for even thinking I could make it. I just shrugged it off and stepped on the gas harder. I was narrowly 3 meter from it and the gates were at least 6 inches close to closing too small for me to squeeze past in.
Oh Kami! Please let us make it!, I prayed.
It all played out in slow motion as my car's side mirrors barely missed getting knocked off as I weaved past the bronze gate. I realized I was still going to fast so, I stepped on the brakes and swerved suddenly to the left heading for the parking lot. I crept along the past other cars looking for my signature spot. I saw the cars I was looking for and sped up. I parked in between Tenten's jet black and purple motor cycle and Ino's mahogany BMW.
I swiftly stepped out and made my way to the entrance where Ino Yamanaka, Hinata Hyuga, and Tenten Mitarashi miraculously appeared. I grinned as I approached them.
"So… I guess you saw what I pulled just now?" They gave me an incredulous look.
"S-Sakura-chan! That was highly dangerous! If y-you hadn't made it Tsunade would have had a cow!" Hinata chastised. Her pearly eyes were wide with worry. I giggled at the phrase she used.
Hina-chan frets too much!, Protested my inner. I silently agreed with my inner and let loose my bubblegum pink hair from the black band I had put it in before I left the house.
"Yeah, yeah Hina-chan! I'm fine I am not?" She didn't say anything, "That's what I thought! Anyway! On to bigger things!" I dragged them somewhere more private.
"What is it forehead?" Ino-pig asked. I twitched at her childish nickname for me. It was a known fact that my forehead had shrunk in size since middle school. Why she insisted with that damned name, I would never know.
"Well Ino-PIG" One of her platinum blonde finely plucked eyebrows twitched, "I was going to say how I found a place that would let us play at their rock hall every weekend," All three girls squealed in excitement, "BUT, since you all would much rather talk about something else… I guess we could-"
"Saks! Hold up! Wait a minute! Put some extra nice fresh sugar in it!" Exclaimed Tenten. She was so giddy her identical milk chocolate buns were bouncing on top of her head with her. Her chocolate eyes were glowing with excitemnet, "You got us a GIG?"
I smirked, "You bet your authentic kunai collection I did!"
We all squealed this time. I could feel the rush coming off my girls in waves. Even Hinata was excited. Being in a band was the only way to make her feel different. Not some heiress people expect perfection from. Ino was glad because it was something to hold over peoples head when they all thought she was a stereotypical blonde. Tenten hardly ever did anything at home. Her parents were never home because they were always traveling looking for rare weapons that could help explain human evolution better.
I was ecstatic because, well, no one in my family believed I could do anything in my life. My dad was a professional renowned surgeon. My mom was a bestselling novelist 15 years running. I was expected to either go into writing or into medicine.
I wanted neither.
You bet our collection of Beatles CD's we don't!, Agreed my inner.
My emerald eyes looked down to my silver Ralph Lauren watch. "Come on Girls! We gotta get to class. No matter how late Kaka-sensei is, I still wanna get to our seats."
The girls murmured their agreements and we speed walked to our homeroom. At the door, we bumped into them.
"Hn, Watch it, Pinkie." Stated an irritated voice I hated sooo much. I looked up and emerald met onyx. My faced would have flushed from the proximity of our closeness. 'But I was a Haruno and Haruno's don't blush' at our handsome enemies.
I glared at the vain of my existence, Sasuke Uchiha. The third smartest kid at Konoha Academy. First being Shikamaru Nara. Second being yours truly, I. Fourth Hinata, and fifth, Neji Hyuga.
I looked behind me to see Ino chastising at a nonchalant Shikamaru, Tenten having a glare/smirk contest with Neji, and Hinata blushing profusely in the arms of Naruto Uzumaki.
I give her 5 seconds before she faints,Mused my Inner casually.
That is soo me-, I was interrupted when I heard him.
"Oh Kami! Hey? Hey? Hinata? Oh my Kami! I KILLED YOUR COUSIN NEJI! DON'T HURT ME!" He balled. My patience was wearing thin. I punched him in the head. Slowly a large bump formed on his head.
"Shut. Up. Baka! It is too early to hear your voice!" I yelled at him. He whimpered in pain and shrunk down in size at my dark towering form.
"Pinkie, your one to talk." Retorted Sasuke. I twitched. Naruto paled at my expression. He handed Hinata to Ino silently and went to Sasuke's side.
"Ne Sasuke… I don't think it's smart to piss off Sakura-chan…" Naruto wisely adviced.
"Listen Chicken-ass," Neji and Shikamaru smirked. Tenten, Ino, and Naruto snickered behind their hands. "How about you complain about my voice when you expand your vocabulary!" My girls, including Hinata, who woke up, went 'Ooh!~'
I huffed and opened the classroom door. I stalked off to the last four seats in the back. They were stationed in a row. I sat in the first one next to the window, Ino next to me, Tenten next to her and Hinata next to Tenten.
There were only four other seats available. I grinned when I recognized who they were by.
Karin, Sasuke's number one fan. Ami, Shikamaru's number one fan. Ran, Naruto's biggest fan girl. Lastly, Kimiko, Neji's fan girl president.
The girls and I smirked at the sight. They were obviously debating on who to sit next to. Shikamaru and Sasuke saw us back here and they had a strange glint to their eyes. Naruto and Neji spotted us soon.
I added all that in my mind.
They wouldn't dare do what I think they're going to do?, asked my inner worriedly.
They wouldn't!... Would they?, I asked myself.
I watched them shooed the one girl and three guys from their seats. I heard Tenten and Ino groan. I saw Hinata turn cherry red. I let my head hit the desk.
They would.
They would.
It was 7:45 and Kakashi still hadn't come in yet. Homeroom is over at 8:15. The girls and I were pm-ing to pass the time.

Teme! Sakura-chan! Stop with the lovers fight!
I looked up from my phone and gave Naruto my best glare. He started to cry immediately. I grinned and looked at Ino. She was furiously texting or PMing someone. I knew it wasn't any of us.
If it was, she would have included us all in it. I caught a glimpse of her screen. It read
"F*ck off Nara! I will never crush on you! Besides, Sai's 10x better! :-p"
I giggled at the comment. Ino looked up at me. I pointed to her phone and she grinned back at me. We did our hand shake and giggled some more. I looked at the clock and it read 8:05.
All to soon a vile smell infiltrated my nose. I could easily tell I wasn't the only one who smelt it. Everyone had a hand over their nose and grimacing. You could hear the shouts of dismay and chaos from the surrounding classrooms.
Everyone stood up immediately and started screaming as the lights went out.
I rolled my eyes, What babies.
I walked to shikamaru's desk and tapped his shoulder.
"Hey! We're the class reps. We have to settle the class because our teacher isn't bloody here." I seethed.
I heard an affirmative, "Troublesome." And we walked to the front of the class.
"Excuse me." I said
"Hello!" I said a bit louder. When no one turned to face me a twitch made its way to my trusty pink eyebrow.
"Shikamaru…"
"Hm?"
"Close your ears." I commanded. I didn't wait to confirm that he had done as I asked when I shouted:
"SHUT THE BEEP YOU GOD DAMN BEEP's! SIT DOWN AND LET ME TELL YOU WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO YOU SORRY BEEPer's!" The entire class went silent from my outburst. I coughed into my hand awkwardly.
"Now that I have your attention, we will line up in last name order from a-z in dismissal." I announced. Shikamaru started to call out names and shuffling could be heard as the class gathered their things and made way to the door. I lead the front while Shikamaru led the back.
When we got to the front entrance we noticed other classes were already out here. I was counting heads when I heard a "Yo!" from behind me.
I spun around and saw Kaka-sensei standing there like he had been there the whole freaking time.
I narrowed my eyes at him when I saw Tsunade pat his back and say "Good job keeping your kids in line Hatake!"
I stepped on his foot, "W-well I couldn't have done it without Shikamaru and Sakura's help! T-they did most of it! The kids respect them so much." he stated. His mask crinkled as if to show he was smiling. "More like fear Sakura's wrath…" he murmured the last part. I glared at him from the side as harshly as I could.
Tsunade made her way to the school fountain where her assistant, Shizune, handed her a mega phone. She announced that due to an Oto. Academy prank school would be closed until further notice. Apparently, the school needed to order 5 new generators, hire a bio hazard team to rid the school of the vile stench, and redecorate the kitchen and cafeteria.
I shook my head, What idiots Oto. Academy is! Don't they know KA has the smartest kids in Japan? Or that we're widely known for our policy An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth?
They obviously wan to start something. If they didn't they wouldn't have pranked us. They most likely wanna start something they can't finish., My inner commented. I took her words into consideration as Ino, Tenten, Hinata and I made our way to our cars.
"So that's that then? What do you think Saku?" Tenten's voice brought out of my inner analysis.
"Huh? Oh… Yeah! Sure!" I exclaimed.
Ino furrowed her eyebrows at me, "Mhmm.. Oh really? What were we debating on?"
I grinned as I scoured my bag for my keys, "First you were talking about the malls new shop, then Hinata mentioned new songs we could make . Thus Tenten remembered we have yet to see the club we'd perform in. She kindly offered that I show you where it is." I turned to Tenten, "Which I will show you tomorrow to answer your question. However bring your most punk/rocker/emo/sexy clothes you have. We'll need to blend in." I took out my jack skeleton key chain and pressed the unlock button.
Shortly after I hopped in and put it in the ignition and rolled down the window. Yes we'll have practice at my place today! My 'rents we'll be out of town for like 4 weeks!"
I reversed out of the spot which I had parked in and waved at a coyly smiling Hinata, a grinning Tenten, and a shocked into silence Ino.
"That's not fair Forehead! How did you master the 'deep in thought but completely aware of the situation mode'?" she yelled. I laughed aloud and sped off.
As I was leaving I passed by Uchiha.
Once again, emerald met onyx once more that day.
Everything went in slow motion as his famous smirk found its way to his face and a grin made its way unto mine. I turned my head forward and sped up a little more. My heart was beating wildly in my chest. Like I had run a marathon.
What was that?, I wondered.
I don't know Saks. I don't know…, My inner mused worriedly.
A/N
Hey! two uploads in a day! Not much to say for this chapter. I hope I the characters weren't so OOC… Well I can't tell if there was enough SasuSaku in this but I hope there was!
Anyway if you would just press that little rectangle button that has "Review This Chapter" in it, I think this can be recorded as a day worth spent, no?
Ja ne!
