Chapter 3

"You've Got to be Kidding Me"

"Oh my gosh! That is NOT true!" Sakura said.

"Oh yeah, it's true." Naruto said.

"It's like destiny or something!" Ino said.

"Yeah!" Agreed Naruto.

"You guys!" Sakura said.

"What?" They both said simultaneously.

"We're fifteen minutes late for class!"

"$h!t" They said, as they ran for their lives.

"See ya Ino!" Sakura said. (And Naruto was waving)

"Bye!" Ino said as they split off in different directions.

"Naruto? Are we almost there?" Sakura asked.

"Almost!" Naruto said as they were still running. "Aha! Here we are!" Naruto said, stopping at a door.

"Finally!" Sakura said out of breath. They both walked in to reveal everyone staring at them…It was so embarrassing. Everyone was whispering.

"Who's that new girl?

"Wow she's hot!"

"Look! She has pink hair!"

"Che, she's not THAT great."

"QQQQUUUIIIIEEEETTTT! … May I help you?" Kurenei asked.

"Gomen-nasai Kurenei-sensei, but I'm a new student. My name is Sakura Haruno. I was getting my schedule from Tsunade-sama." Sakura said.

"Hai I understand…But Naruto Uzamaki! Why are you late as well!" Kurenei asked.

"Ummm…Welll…You seeeeee…"

"Oh he was showing me the principle's office!" Sakura said.

"Oh. Very well then."

Sakura sighed in relief.

In the back of the room Sasuke was watching the scene with interest. 'So, she's in my first period eh?' Sasuke thought.

"Naruto take a seat!" Kurenei said. Naruto sat next to Sasuke and next to a boy that looked like a dog or something.

"Sakura!" Kurenei said.

"H-hai?"

"You may take a seat next toooo…Sasuke Uchiha!"

"What why does she get to sit with my Sasuke!"

"Aww why couldn't she get to sit with me!"

"SSSIILLLEENNNCCCEEE!"

Sakura walked over to her seat, feeling uncomfortable that peopled were watching her. She sat down and Kurenei continued with her lesson.

"Hello again Sasuke." Sakura said.

"Hn."

Sakura had a disappointed look on her face.

"Don't worry Sakura-chan." Naruto whispered. "That's like the only word in his vocabulary."

"Ok Naruto."

Sasuke glared at Naruto.

"Che, whatever." Sasuke said.

Later

"Now I have History with Kakashi." Sakura said.

"Oh that is such an easy class. He comes late every time, and all he does during class is read that perverted book of his." Naruto said.

"Sounds boring, yet fun." Sakura said.

"Yeah…Well I'm this way so, I'll see you soon Sakura-chan!

" Ok! Bye!" Sakura said as she entered her next class…

"Hey Ino!" Sakura said. Ino looked like she was talking to a few other girls.

"Oh hi Sakura!" Ino said. "I'd like you to meet Tenten…" Ino said pointing at Tenten.

"Hello." Sakura said.

"Hi!" Tenten said. Tenten was a tall girl that put her hair in two buns.

"And this is Hinata!" Ino said pointing to a girl with short black hair, and white eyes, which she thought was kind of interesting.

'Interesting? Honey you have PINK hair!' Inner Sakura said.

'Yeah I guess you're right.'

"H-hello. N-nice to meet y-you," Hinata said, flushing like crazy.

"Is she ok?" Sakura asked.

"I ask myself that question everyday." Ino said.

"Oh."

"So Sakura? Ino told us about the little scene that happened between you and Sasuke." Tenten said.

"?"

"When he said sorry to you after what happened?"

"Oh right. Yeah."

"AND you have EVERY class with him!" Tenten said raising an eyebrow at her.

"I-it's like d-destiny, or s-something." Hinata said.

"That's what I said!" Ino shouted so that the whole room was staring at her. "…What the hell are you lookin' at?" Ino said. That caused them to resume whatever they were doing before.

"Look there's Sasuke over there!" Tenten said. "And our other friends!"

"Sakura you should come and meet them!" Ino suggested.

"Y-yes you should." Hinata said.

"Well, ok!" Sakura said. They walked over to the group.

"Hey guys I'd like you to meet our new friend Sakura! Sakura, Shikamaru, Chouji, Shino, Kiba and Akamaru. And I think you already met Neji" Ino said with a smirk.

Sakura winked at them and said "it's nice to meet all of you!"

They all blushed at how pretty she was and replied back clumsily, except for Neji. Who just smirked at seeing the pink-haired girl again.

Then finally the teacher showed up.

"Where have you been!" Ino shouted.

"I was lost on the road of life." Kakashi said, still reading his book.

"Kakashi-sensei that is such a pathetic excuse, I mean, can't you come up with something that's at least reasonable?" Sakura said.

Everyone stared at her, including Sasuke.

'Did I do something wrong?' She thought.

"And you must be?"

"Sakura Haruno."

"Ah, nice to meet you." He said, as he once again began reading his book.

Next Class

The P.E. uniform consisted of a white T-short and blue short shorts for the girls, and a white T-shirt and black basketball shorts for the boys.

" Hi Naruto, Sasuke!" Sakura greeted as she and Ino walked up to them.

"Hi Sakura-chan!" Naruto said.

Sasuke gave a slight nod.

"Yosh! (All right!) The teacher said from the front of the gym. "My youthlings we shall not waste our youth by just standing around! Let's have a race!"

Everybody lined up.

"Ready, set, go!" Gai shouted.

Sasuke was in the lead with Sakura in second! And she was catching up fast.

They were head to head, neck to neck, hair to hair.

'What the hell? Why is she so fast?' Sasuke thought.

Sakura smirked. "You're not the only fast one Uchiha." Sakura said.

Here comes the finish line… and Sasuke just barely wins!

After they were both panting. "Good Job Sasuke." Sakura said exhausted.

"Hn. You too."

And after that they both head upstairs to lunch.

Lunch"Hey guys!" Sakura said as she spotted a table with everyone there!"

"Hey!"

They barely ate and talked, talked, talked the whole time, having a lot of fun. Sakura was laughing.

Sasuke was watching Sakura, girls aren't usually that open in front of him, like they don't show their real self, cause he's so "hot" He actually found it rather cute…And so did Neji. Sasuke saw Neji looking at Sakura a lot and became suspicious.

Then the bell rang…

Science

"Good morning classssssss." The teacher said. Or, rather, creepy teacher, according to Ino. "I will be asssssigning projectssss today."

The class groaned.

"Now, now don't be so depressssed, there will be groups of three."

The class cheered.

"BUT I will be choosing them."

The class groaned again.

"Put me with Sasuke-kun!"

"I want Sakura-chan!"

"SSSILENCE! The first group of three will be…SSSasuke, SSSakura and Neji."

"Why does she get to be with my Sasuke-kun?"

"That's so unfair!"

"Put Sakura-chan with me!"

"SSSILENCE!" Orochimaru said. "The next group…Naruto, Kiba and Hinata."

"YAY! I'm with Hinata-chan!" Naruto said while hugging her. Hinata was as red as a tomato. "Hinata-chan are you ok? You look a little red…"

"Next…Ino, Shikamaru and Shino!"

"Yay! I'm with Shika!" Ino squealed.

"What a drag…troublesome women…" Shikamaru said.

"Whatever" Shino said.

"Next! Chouji, Lee and Rebecca!" (the last one is obviously and OCC)

"Next is…."

"So umm Sasuke Neji? Can we like, meet sometime to work on the project?"

"Hn."

"Hn."

"First of all we are DEFINITLEY not meeting at my house! It would be life-long embarrassment!" Sakura said. "So um Sasuke can we meet at your house?"

"Hn."
"I'm taking that as a 'Yes Sakura, thank you for planning this, because without you, we would get an F!'" Sakura said smiling.

Sasuke glared at Sakura. Sakura glared at Sasuke. Sasuke glared some more. Sakura bared teeth. Sasuke backed down.

"Ok! So we will all meet at Sasuke's house at 5:00 tomorrow! Got it?"

"Hn."

"Whatever."

"Good now I'm going."

Sakura left to who knows where.

"Hey Uchiha?"

"What?"

"We're pretty lucky eh?"

"What?"

"I mean we're lucky we got Sakura, cause I think she's pretty cute."

"Che. Like I care what you think."

"Well you should, cause I see the way you look at her, just like me."

"Hn. I am nothing like you. (check again Sasuke will ya?)"

"If you say so Uchiha, if you say so" And with that, Neji walked out of the classroom.

There was nothing really to do during Free Period, so Sakura just went to sleep on a couch. "YAWN. Boy and I tired." Sakura said as she fell asleep dreaming about unicorns. (haha I just had to put that)

A few minutes later someone came into the room she was sleeping in and saw her lying there. A strand of hair fell into her face, and he moved it aside. She really did look like an angel when she slept. The figure quickly disappeared before anyone could catch him.

Sakura woke up and it was time for her next class…

They didn't really do anything in class they just talked about safety and all that other pointless stuff…

The school speaker went on. "Attention Konoha Tokyo High I am informing you of a special occasion that will be occurring in a week from today…There will be a school dance and everyone is required to bring an escort…"
