Okay, I'm pretty sure that every time I update, I always have to go into this long AN about why I haven't updated in forever. And for that I am sorry. But school has really been taking up a lot of my time. On the bright side, it's Christmas vacation! That's why I'm trying to update a chapter or more for you guys. Thanksgiving break I was out of town, so that's kinda why I wasn't able to update. Hope my writing hasn't gotten worse!

Chapter 7

Sasuke POV

So after I left Naruto in the hall, I looked around for the exit. Didn't we go up some stairs?

After figuring out where the stairs were, and making sure to dodge any potential fangirls (which basically means avoiding everyone), I got through. Good thing the stairway looked mostly empty.

Crash

Or not.

I turn around after hearing a loud noise. Ugh, it's a girl. She blinks up at me, and then blushes.

"Um, hi! Uh, sorry 'bout that, I kinda tripped over my shoelace." she blushes even more.

"It's fine." I turn around and start to walk away, but she stops me.

"Hold on!"

I heave a sigh. "Yes, what is it?" I ask impatiently.

"I'm really sorry, but do you think you could help me out? My friend can't find room 2213, and I think she's waiting for me in the bathroom."

... And I'm supposed to help, how?

"I don't really get what you're saying." I tell her blankly.

"Well, could you carry her and my stuff? Since you're obviously really strong." the mystery girl flutters her lashes, and tries for a sweet smile.

Ugh. If she was trying to flatter me, then she obviously failed. I opened my mouth to tell her to fuck off, but-

"Haru!" a shrill voice pierces the air. "What are you doing? I thought I asked you to help me find my homeroom, not sit on the floor outside of the bathroom waiting for me!"

"Hey, Karin. Sorry, I tripped, and kinda disturbed this guy." She gestured to me.

This is her friend? Some friend.

The other girl, Karin?, blinked. She looked me up and down quickly, and then smirked, which she quickly changed to a smile. "Hey, hot shot, what's your name?"

I quickly contemplate what I should say, then decide to tell the truth. "Uchiha."

She giggles, but her eyes flicker in recognition. "Not your last name, silly, your first name!"

I sigh. "Sasuke."

"Sasuke Uchiha, huh? I like it. It sounds good together. I'm Karin Hirioka, and this is Koyomi Fujoko. What's your homeroom?"

"Isn't it a little early to be giving out that much information?"

"Don't be silly." She flipped her hair, which is sort of crimson pink in color. "We're all freshmen, so we're gonna have to meet each other anyway. Might as well deal with it now, don't you agree?"

I guess she has a point...

"Room 2215."

"Omg, my room's 2213! We're so close to each other! And Koyomi's is 2214, so we can all get together really easily!"

Why is she starting to sound suspiciously like a fangirl?

"So, anyway," Koyomi broke in. "Do you think that you could help carry our stuff?"

Crap. "Why not?" I say very flatly.

"OMIGOSH THANK YOU SO MUCH!" Karin squeals.

I winced. "You're very welcome." I respond, just as flatly as before.

"Okay then, let's go to our homerooms!" Karin flounced off, with Koyomi trailing behind her.

What have I gotten myself into?

Sakura POV

Okay, so I've gotten my schedule and everything, and everyone's split up into different groups. Looks like every one of my friends have at least one person from our group with them. But I'm stuck all alone.

I look at my schedule again. Kakashi. I wonder who that is? Whatever, his room is 2215. I guess I better start by trying to find it on the map.

After studying it for a while, I begin to make my way to the cafeteria, 'cause that's pretty much where it is. I think that it's literally across from the lunch room, at least, that's what the map says.

Great. Since I'm all alone, I'm probably gonna look like a total loser, trying to find my homeroom all alone.

5 minutes later...

FINALLY! I think I see the cafeteria! Why is it so hard to find my way around this school?! "AAAAAAHHHHHHHH!"

"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" A boy screams as loud as I do.

"Dude, what's your problem? You can't just ram into people!" I start ranting at whoever bumped into me. CHA, LOOK WHERE YOU'RE GOING, NUMBSKULL!

"Sorry, sorry!" The guy exclaimed, holding his hands in the 'I'm innocent!' pose. Yeah right. Innocent? Tell that to my aching butt and shoulders!

Wait a minute. The kid's kind of cute. Sort of. And he does look really sorry.

"Well, it's okay. And I'm sorry for going off on you. I don't really like being pushed." I apologize.

"Who does?" The guy cracked a grin.

Spiky, sunny yellow hair (does he dye it? Cuz it's definitely not blond), bright blue eyes, fox-like whiskers on his cheeks... yeah, the kid does have his strong points. Especially his eyes. And I guess his smile's kinda cute.

"...room?" Oops, I guess he was talking to me.

"Sorry, what?"

"I said, what's your homeroom? Mine's 2215." He repeats.

"Woah, so's mine!" I'm shocked.

"Cool! I got lucky, for once!" He exclaims. "We can walk there together!"

"Okay." I smile, now I won't look completely stupid walking in alone. We start walking. "My name's Sakura Haruno."

"I'm Naruto Uzumaki! And I'm gonna be the Prime Minister one day!"

I try not to laugh. High hopes, much? "Um, okay?" I try, smiling a little.

"I know, I know, it seems stupid, but I swear, that's my dream!" Naruto defends, but he's smiling too. I like his smile.

Naruto POV

Man, oh, man, did I luck out! What are the chances that I'd bump into some totally hot girl, and then having the same homeroom as her? And her name is pretty, and it even matches her hair color! Which, now that I think about it, is a little weird, 'cause it's pink, but it's totally okay, because she looks great in it!

Maybe I should stop hyperventilating now.

Hah! Teme's gonna be so pissed off, cuz I met a girl that actually isn't a fangirl, and he's probably swarmed with them now! Now who's laughing?!

Yeah, I probably drank too much coffe.

Ta da! Written in the space of one hour, it that not amazing? Sorry about how short Naruto's POV is, I just couldn't really think of anything else to add, and I want to put in the other characters' POV before having them all entire homeroom. And this fic may be moving really slowly, but for some reason, I always make the story line go slow. I feel like it seems more believable, more realistic.

Anyway, I hope you thought this chapter was great, and I'll try to write more doing break! But, you know, reviews would be a great way to give me some feedback, and encourage me to write faster. ;)

P.S. Am I the only one who's realized that it's December 24?

P.P.S. MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

P.P.S.S. I actually kind of what to see Les Mis, but... that's just me. :) I saw the play at a high school, and it was really good. Even though it kind of seemed like it had no real plot. But the songs were really great!
