Chapter 2

"Damn" Sakura thought as she entered the auditorium. She was running already when she first got out of the car because she thought she was late for the assembly and then when she opened the door, she stopped herself from screaming. There were so many people gathered. All the levels from freshmen to senior high school students were piled up in the auditorium. "What's up with this? They didn't do something like this last year. Now how am I supposed to find my friends". She was getting irritated basically because of the noise coming from the students and also from the confusion. She realized that there was nothing left to do but text her best friend.

"Good morning Sakura-senpai!" some students began to greet her.

"Hello to you guys!" She faked smile and did her best to hide her annoyance. The students walked away and she began to do her task. Busy from searching her phone, she didn't hear that someone was calling her name.

"Sakura!"

She found her phone and began to text Ino when someone tapped her shoulder. She was about to glare at the person when-

"Oh my gosh! Temari!" She hugged the girl and began jumping for joy.

"Sakura…can't breathe.." Temari said while struggling to unwrap Sakura's arm.

"Oh! Sorry." She untangled her arms and step a few meters away from her. Looking at her, she cant' help but reminisce about the time she and Tema first met and how they grew closer as the years passed. Sakura and Temari met in their first year of high school. Sabaku Temari was from Sunagakure but she transferred to Konoha because of her father's job. When Sakura first saw her, it was when their introduced a new student. Her first impression was Temari was kind of boyish for a girl. Considering that her outfit that time was a V-neck gray shirt and a pedal pants with a gray converse shoes. A tall girl with a blond hair that was put up in a pigtail. She held an aura that was quite reserved and arrogant. She didn't bothered speaking to her. But one day, when they got paired for a project they surprisingly clicked. They talked and talked about random stuffs and had a great time. So from there they became closer and soon, best of friends.

"Hey, Sak! You there?" Temari said while waving her hand in Sakura's face.

Sakura came back to her senses. "Yeah. I was just thinking about something. By the way, why isn't the assembly starting yet?"

"It was moved to 9 o' clock. Our principal didn't arrive yet".

"What! I rushed here 'cause I thought that I was late then I learned that it was moved?" Sakura was more annoyed.

" Calm down. Isn't this great. We get to talk with our friends more. C'mon, let's go the garden. Ino and the others are there". Temari said and walked to the exit of the auditorium.

"Stupid. Why didn't I think of that? Of course they'll be in the meting place". She sighed and followed Temari.

"What sport are you planning to join?"

"I don't know, maybe soccer and cheerleading again. After all, that's what I am good at. How about you?" Sakura asked.

"Volleyball. That's my favorite sport" Temari said and grinned.

"I can't wait to see all of them. I wonder what happened to all of you during vacation".

"It's your fault you didn't get to be with us. You went to America for 2 months and you didn't even bother bringing home gifts".

"Well, sorry. At least now I am back. And I can listen to all of your stories." Sakura said and smiled. She wondered what happened to her friends when she went away for a vacation trip. She is sure that she'll have to be ready for all the surprises that await her.

"Sak, we're here".

Sakura looked in front and her jaw almost dropped. Was 2 months really long enough that she had forgotten what their meeting place looked like? The view was beautiful. Healthy grass, flowers that were all blooming, tall trees and a calming scene welcomed her. She will surely be in this place always. She was about to reminisce more when she was suddenly tackled to the ground.

"SAKU-CHAN!" that person shouted and hugged her tight.

"Here we go again," Sakura sighed as she thought of that obnoxious person who did this.

"Naruto! Get off me". She said annoyed. Naruto realized what he had done and quickly stood up and offered Sakura a helping hand. Sakura glared at him but still took the offer and stand up.

"Sorry, Sakura. I was just excited to see you," he said while grinning sheepishly.

Sakura finished dusting herself and looked at Naruto. "Whoa" that's the first word that entered her mind after seeing him. Naruto was nothing like the last time looked. His features changed and become more matured. The shaggy blond hair was a little longer and is still unruly. His sun-kissed skin was much more visible. He became much more taller. Compare to her height which is 5'5, his is like 5'11 already. But one thing is for sure. His smile and stunning blue eyes didn't change and his happy personality remained the same. He was still the Naruto that she knew way back from elementary days and probably, his attitude didn't moved that much either.

"Idiot. Stop talking so loud! " Still the old Temari who easily gets grumpy and who is like a strict teacher.

"It's okay, Naruto. Next time just be careful. And also lower your voice," Sakura said and smiled.

"Okay. Hey! Where are my souvenirs? And my ramen?" he asked and was searching for the stuffs.

"I'll give you all my gifts later. For now-

"FOREHEAD!" a girl shouted.

Sakura already knew that voice and she mentally prepared herself. "Oh, no. Here we really go again". She knew that there would be a long day ahead and it's already starting. But she didn't expect to be tackled again to the ground…and worst, her socks got ripped apart. FHL.

Okay. The second chapter is done. Tell me if it's good or not please. R&&R. Thank you.
