Updating! Really glad that I can see some people reading my story. Makes me happy! ") Hopefully you'll enjoy the first morning of high school. I apologize ahead of time for my Jersey Shore reference.

Chapter 4

Sakura POV

I stretch as the Party Van pulls up to the front of our high school. Lovely. Another place where teachers try to tame my friends and me. I might have perfect scores, but that doesn't mean that I'm the perfect student. I'll leave that stuff to the boring people.

"Ready for what might happen?" Ino breaks through my train of thought. She grins, feral even in the sunlight. Classic party girl. She's my meatball.

"Of course!" I grin back. "Hey, Kiba!"

"What's up, sweetheart?"

"Thanks for the coffee. I feel GREAT now!" I laugh.

"No problem. Anytime." Kiba smiles back. "Does that mean I'm forgiven?"

"Sure, why not?"

"YES! Choji, my buddy, you just lost your bet!" Kiba whoops.

"Aww man! Come on, Sakura! You can take it back, you know." Choji urges me.

I shake my head. "Nah."

"But it's my snack money!"

"And your bet." I love my friends.

"Hand it over!" Kiba demands. "Just buy a snack with your leftover money. I'm pretty sure you've got the funds; give it up!"

"Fine." Choji sulks, but hands over the cash. 30 bucks. Why am I not surprised?

"You guys bet $30 on whether or not Sakura would forgive Kiba?" Ino shrieks. "How can you waste so much cash over something so STUPID?"

"Says the girl who dragged me shopping everywhere." I throw at her. She glares, then relents.

"Aah, whatever. Let's go." She jumps out of the van, even though it's not actually a van. It's more like a really large convertible. Kiba's family had it custom made for him, since he's our designated driver. And it's not like the cops care if we're too young to drive. We've got it covered.

"Ino, wait up!" Tenten calls. "Geez, that girl is too hyped up on caffiene." She says, shaking her head.

"Um, maybe we better catch up?" Hinata offered. We've got to get her to come out of her shell! I mean, she's so shy and quiet! But she's so innocent, and adorable. I love her. But in a totally non-romantic way!

"Yeah, sure. Come on guys!" I jump out too, and naturally land on my feet. Because I've got the skills. I'm such a ninja.

"That's my meatball! Come on, let's go!" Ino shouts.

"Hurry up, girls!" I called to Tenten and Hinata. "What are you waiting for? Let's be bold!"

"Hey, hold on! Wait for me to park!" Kiba starts to hurredly pull away from the curb. "Man, sometimes I hate being driver."

"Like you don't relish it." Shikamaru says lazily, cracking open one eye.

"Oh, go back to your nap." Kiba tells him.

"Whatever." He yawns. What a lazy ass.

"We'll meet you up front, guys!" Kiba winks. Ah, Kiba. Always sweet with the girls. But he's wasting his time. As if one of us would fall for him. He probably knows that anyway.


"So." I said, staring up at the large arch. "This is it."

"The famous Konoha College Prep." Ino added.

"Prestigious. Elite." Tenten put in.

"Worth millions." Hinata also remarked. "Costs millions too."

A grin spreads on my face. "Ready to trash it, ladies?"

"YEAH!"

"Let's give this school a dramatic entry; show them our wild side!"

"YEAH!"

"Could you stop shouting? I think you broke my ear drums." Shikamaru said, rubbing his ears.

"When did you get here?" Ino asked.

"Just now."

"That clears it up."

"Yes, yes it does."

"Excuse me." a voice broke in. "You're blocking the door."

Everyone swivels to look at the voice. What the-

Woah. He's a god.

"Excuse me. But... who are you?" Neji asks coldly.

"It's common courtesy to give you own name before asking someone else's." The mysterious god answers. Oh my God. He is so hot!

Neji's eyes harden. Yikes.

"I asked you a question." Neji says carefully. Slowly.

"And I answered it." The stranger replies. "Now if you'll excuse me. I'm trying to get to class." And he pushes past us.

Neji broods. I guess no one's every brushed him off that rudely before.

"Why that son of a-"

"KIBA! Don't say that!" Ino shrieks. "Did you see how hot he was?"

"What that idiot? I bet he's all talk and now action."

"He is pretty cute." Tenten giggles.

"Yeah. Dangerously cute." I say. "So... who gets him?"

"Um, me obviously." Typical Ino.

"No way." I object. "I think he's hot too."

"Well, we can't all have him." Ino says. "One of us will have to be the bigger person."

"You're perfect for that." I tell her. "Your body fits that category."

Okay, maybe I went a little too far. At any rate, Ino's pissed. Not my best idea?

"What are you talking about, Forehead?" Ino shouts. Yep. Definitely not my best idea.

"You heard me." I grin smugly at her. Ah, well, can't take back what I said now.

"Billboard Brow!"

"Ino-PIG!"

"FOREHEAD!"

"UGLY!"

"Guys, guys, stop it!" Tenten shouts over us.

"Yeah, geez. That guy's not even worth it." Kiba puts in.

"SHUT UP, KIBA!" We both yell.

"Aww, so sad. You'll never get him, because you're too fat!"

"Puh-lease. Your forehead alone will scare him away! And that's before he sees your horrible personality!"

"Hmph! You're one to talk, bitch!"

"Look in the mirror, why dont'cha!"

"BOTH OF YOU SHUT UP NOW!"

Oh my God. Was that... Hinata? I think both me and Ino are in shock.

"They'll be plenty of guys to go after." Hinata says, blushing at all the attention. "Don't fight over one boy like that."

"But he's so... hot." Ino dreamily says.

"Yeah..." I agree. "But, uh, sorry about what I said. Let's just have a friendly competition and see which one of us he likes."

"Okay." Ino nods. "And I'm sorry too." We hug. "But don't think I'm going to go easy on you, Sakura. I'll win his heart!"

"So you say!"

"My word is law!"

"Funny, doesn't seem that way with Principal Tsunade!"

"Again with the fighting?" Shikamaru says dryly. "We're going to be late."

Me and Ino glare at each other, but start walking to the office to get our schedules.

Dramatic, right?


Hope it was okay. My brain is pretty drained, I just cranked this out. Maybe I'll go back and add more, or make some changes to it later. Until next time!

And by the way. Aren't you guys glad that I updated so fast?
