Chapter 2: Could she be the one?
"Breath in…breath out…" Sakura said for the tenth time. Still, she just can't get a hold on to herself. The butterflies in her stomach would make her more nervous every time she feels her stomach. Her nervousness is arising. Who would blame her? It's just normal for a person to act like that whenever you know that you will be entering a new world again and here comes the most hated part of Sakura, moving on.
Would they treat me like a normal person because my father is a millionaire?
Would they consider me part of their family?
Who will be the persons that I can consider my true friends here?
How would I fit in here again?
Why am I feeling this way when I've already experienced this for a million of times?
These questions have been in her head for days and it seems that it is haunting her. It was her first time to act like that since she started transferring schools. Something in that school was different. It was not that it was her 12th time to transfer schools but it was something, something odd, mysterious, unexplainable, and freaky.
"Ms. Haruno Sakura, we're here." Said the driver as he knocked the window. She always hated the maids and drivers whenever she calls her by the name miss. It wasn't her thing. She was a mere child that did nothing in the progress of their company. The name "miss" isn't worthy for her.
She inhaled for the last time and then exhaled after two seconds. "I'm ready." She said as she grabbed her bag together with her art kit. Then the driver opened the door. She went out of the black limousine gently. It was all her father's fault on why she was riding on the limousine that day. Actually, she didn't like to use that one yet, she just wanted to fit in and act like a normal teenager.
She first got out her two feet as she gently followed the rest of her body. Her hair was all tied up. On the last school, she always let her hair on loose because that was the thing that they all wanted Sakura to do with her hair and even if she didn't tie her hair back then, she, as usual, looked gorgeous like a princess. The moment she went out, she already saw one her schoolmates. One with raven colored hair, onyx eyes and cute little lips. She looked at her very fiercely like he wanted to kill Sakura.
"You look familiar." She said as she faced him. Her school uniform looked perfect for her. Sakura looked so cute with that outfit on. "Did I meet you or see you from somewhere?" she asked the man with raven hair and onyx eyes. He was a cute man more of a handsome one but his facial expressions destroy every part of him.
He just grunted a response as he walked towards the school gate. "I have a lot more better things to do than talk to you." He answered back knowing that that girl was the one he just bumped with yesterday when he was walking home. 'This is the second time I came into her. Don't tell me it still has a third.' Sasuke thought as she quietly walked inside the school.
"Oh well, might as well go alone that enter with someone." Sakura said as she also started walking. When she was half the gate, someone bumped into her and made her drop her art kit.
The girl had buns on her hair and she looked like she wasn't trained on how a lady would act. "Sorry, I'm just in a little hurry." Explained the girl as she picked up Sakura's art kit and gave it back to her. "Hey, you don't look like you study here." She said as he stood up and walked with her.
"I'm only new here, I just transferred yesterday but the principal said he still hasn't organized everything for me." She said as she gave the girl with buns.
"Oh, Sarutobi-sama…" she chuckled.
"Why?"
She giggled once again. "Nothing, I just remembered a funny incident last week about him. Tenten, and you are?" she said as she stretched out her hand wanting to befriend with the newest student in the campus.
The girl with pink hair grabbed her hand as she smiled. "Haruno Sakura."
Upon hearing her surname, Tenten's eyes widened. "You're a Haruno?" she asked.
"Uhh, yes…" she answered softly.
"Like, the Haruno bloodline owns like the largest company in the whole world. In totality, the Haruno is the riches bloodline in the world. My dad works for yours." Tenten furthermore said until they reached the hallways leading to the classrooms and the principal's office.
She stopped when she saw the principal's office. "Great, everybody knows my father and everybody knows about our bloodline, what will be the flow of my life here now?" she wondered.
"Don't worry, I'll treat you like a normal student here. Hey, why did we stop in Asuma-san-sama's office?" she asked.
"I'm going to get the paper where all of the things I include to is written." She said as she walked in the room and had a little talk with the secretary of the principal, Ms. Tsunade. Tenten just waited outside patiently as he stared at the paintings hanged in front of the principal's office.
"Man, Sarutobi-sama sure like abstract paintings. I can't even understand what is the point of the artist on why did he paint this." She said to herself still waiting for her companion, a Haruno.
Unknown to Tenten, Sakura already got out of the principal's office and Ten ten was still looking at the paintings.
"Ah, the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci found in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. This was the first painting that inspired me to love painting more." She said as Tenten looked at her. She was really something. Even if she was an heiress, she still acted like she wasn't that kind of person, she was so comfortable being with Tenten and she can say that that Haruno isn't a spoiled brat.
"I bet you already saw the painting Leonardo da Vinci painted." Tenten said.
Sakura nodded. "Since I was a kid. But this is my favorite one, The Starry Night by Vincent van Gogh." She said.
Tenten got also inspired by her as she started to love art also after seeing the painting of Vincent van Gogh. "It's beautiful." She whispered. Sakura looked at her watched then to Tenten as she saw that it was near seven am already.
"Hey, it's near seven already. Come on." Sakura said.
"What room are you in at?" the girl with buns asked.
Before answering, Sakura first looked at the paper they just gave her. "Room 104." She answered.
"Oh, I guess we're not classmates, no worries I'm in Room 100 anyway it's only near to yours." Tenten said with a sad tone of voice and cheered immediately at the last.
"Where is my room anyway?" the new student asked once again. It was normal for a new student to be asking a lot of questions since she knows nothing about that place yet.
"It is in the left wing of the school on the second floor at the third room to the left." Tenten pointed then bid her goodbye.
'Left wing of the school on the second floor at the third room to the left.' Sakura murmured as she used the map the secretary of the principal gave her a while ago.

"Hey, Sasuke-kun, the new student will be entering the school today right? Which room will she or he will be staying at, maybe at Lee's room, they're only 23 right? " Neji asked still in his seat reading a book.
Sasuke just nodded.
"Come on Sasuke-kun, show some charisma why don't you?" requested the guy with the longest hair in the room. Then he chuckled. "You think Naruto-kun still remember about that issue?"
"No, I bet." Sasuke answered back as he joined to the rhythm of Neji.
"Yeah!" Neji said as he and Sasuke showed the others their handshake.
With them laughing, Hinata came to her cousin Neji and handed him something. Something everyone loves, a dog but not just no ordinary dog but with a special breed.
"It's your turn to take care of Matthew." Hinata said as she handed their pet dog to Neji. Matthew was a male Yorkshire terrier. Matthew's breed was one of the smallest breeds of toy dogs.
"Come one Hinata-chan, I'll take care of it later." Neji complained as he stood up ready to return the dog to Hinata.
Hinata refused. "It was you who wanted to bring Matthew here, he's your responsibility. Besides, I still have Hazel to take care of. You can do that, that's just a dog. A small little cute dog…" Hinata did a little puppy dog pouch she knows that Neji can't refuse at.
"Fine." Neji finally got Matthew.
Hinata smiled. "Thank you Neji-kun! You're the best." It was a success. She had pulled of another excuse again as she went back to her chair. She was the greatest in pulling excuses of. Her puppy dog pouch was irresistible. The girls were playing with Hazel by that time. The dog the girls were playing with was similar to the breed of Matthew, a Yorkshire terrier.

At last, Sakura found her room and along with that, she was misplaced in using that map. That school had so many roots and hallways that a new student could possibly get lost into. She found the room at the exact time and minute as she saw the adviser of the room approaching to her.
"Your Haruno Sakura right?" the adviser asked the new student before she entered.
XxXxXxX
When the teacher entered, as usual he heard a couple of 'your late again' words coming out of the mouths of his students but all he every did since he was assigned to that class was to ignore them. But sometimes, it's a great relief for him whenever they act that was since it means that they are ready for school and they can't wait for the next thing up in Iruka-sensei's sleve.
"Well, as I told you yesterday…" Iruka has just started but some student came in the scene again and as follows, it was always Naruto.
Naruto stood up as he shrieked. "I thought you were going to tell us about the new student yesterday. Why didn't you spill a single thing yesterday Iruka-sensei?" with that, the whole class laughed together with Iruka as things came up to their minds about Naruto. Their laughter and everything Iruka could say can be heard at the place where Sakura was in that time. Their laughter is so contagious that Sakura also giggled.
"Sit down Naruto-kun. I'm going to tell you all about it today. No worries." Iruka commanded Naruto and before he will tell anything about the new student, he would like to see Naruto calm down for even a minute or three. "As promised, I will no tell you about the new student I have talked about yesterday."
Soon cheers and "Yeheys" were heard from the classroom as the adviser told them that the new student is classmates with them. Their family has gotten bigger again but for Sasuke, he didn't have a space for anyone else 25 in the class was enough. They were even out of the expected number of students that should stay in one room which was 22 students ONLY! Yeah, he was harsh to bear that in mind.
Then Sakura, from the outside of the room, heard a thump coming from the room she was going to stay for the rest of the year.
"What could be causing so many hullabaloos down there?" she wondered as she kept waiting outside the room patiently.
"Settle down why don't you!" Iruka-sensei shrieked and lucky for him that his sons and daughters in the room were obedient to take one word only. "Okay…Sakura, you may come in now…" Iruka said signaling Sakura to open the door in front of her. When the door finally opened, the guys felt their hearts beat louder except for Sasuke, who gave a violent reaction on her.
'What? That damn of a hell stubborn lady belongs to this class, wow, someone's surely testing my luck and certainly, mines a bad one. Arghe!' he thought as he slapped his head.
Before Sakura could say something, she bowed before them first to show a little respect to the people she'll be spending her whole school year life with. "Watashiwa, Haruno Sakura. It is my first time to live in Konoha but even thought that was my case, I hope to get along with all of you just fine. Thank you." She councluded then smiled. A round of applause was heard as Sakura went closer to the teacher in charge to receive some orders.
"Sakura-chan, you'll be seating at the only desk not in use. And before you ask, the someone you'll be sitting with will be Uchiha Sasuke." Iruka-sensei told her sympathetically as he gave a little wink at the end. Sakura just giggled as she walked towards the seat their teacher just assign her. After she has sat on the seat together with Sasuke, some whines were heard and a million of "why does the new student have the chance to seat with Sasuke-kun?".
Iruka took a deep breath as he tried to explain why she was assigned to that place. "Girls, the reason why Sakura-chan was assigned to that place was because they aren't any seats vacant and the only person who requested to be alone in one seat was Sasuke that's why he has the only table which can be filled up by another person. Get me?" said their teacher in a long sentence which made him loose his breath.

"Just tell me honestly, are you following me Sakiro?" asked Sasuke not sure if that was her name or what.
Sakura giggled. "BTW, it's Sakura and I am not following you around. I don't even know you until Iruka-sensei told me your name. Uchiha Sasuke am I right?" she asked as she looked to the guy beside her and saw his eyes focused in front looking at Iruka-sensei. "Okay, seems that you don't want to answer my question." Then she looked away.
"Whatever." He said softly which made Sakura turn her head to him. Then he just grunted a response.
Sakura shook her head as something hideous came banging onto her head, "Man, I wonder if this guy can ever pull something off with a lady. He's horrible, rude and not the type of guy a lady should be expecting. But he is kind of cute the only thing wrong with him is he rarely talks. How about that. Thankyouverymuch!" she mumbled a little louder than she anticipated.
"What did you just say?" asked Sasuke as his focus kept on loose because of the new student who it seems that was his seatmate. Now you know the reason why he asks for no seatmate.
"Nothing."
"Do you often talk to yourself Sakira?" Asked Sasuke again but it was the last question he'll ask from her.
Sakura giggled. "It's Sakura, Sasuke."
Sasuke just ignored her as he got his focus on the proper position that nothing could destroy it anymore. His notebook was out but it barely contains something, which says that during examinations, he only uses his stocked memory. Wow, Sasuke was really something if that was his way of "studying".
