.::Chapter 1::.

Sakura's POV

I woke with an odd chill. I can't really describe it except that my room felt…different. Everything was in the exact same place I had left it but, something seemed off. My eyes scanned the room, desperate to figure out what had me so out-of-place. Sighing, I gave up. My feet dragged themselves out of the warm bed and onto the cool wooden floor. I shuddered. Eyeing the open window, I dragged my feet to it and shut it tightly. When did I leave that open? Maybe I was going crazy, I thought to myself. I shook my head and shuffled downstairs to get ready for school.

The walk was brutal, winter had just arrived. The snow whipped past me, stinging my cheeks. Thank god I had a short walk. I felt the fresh untouched snow crunch underneath my shoes and I smiled; the snow was now tainted. No one could be pure, no one was innocent. Everyone had their little secrets, ones that could destroy them. My eyelids momentarily fluttered closed as I continued my venture. The warm gust of air that blew in my face upon entering the building made me shutter. I flexed my fingers, trying to circulate the blood once again. My backpack hung to my knees – filled with books from each subject. I was thankful to reach my locker so I could deposit most of them.

Homeroom was nearly empty; there were still seven minutes until the bell rang. I plugged in my ipod and pulled my hoodie over my head, still cold. A few more people walked into the room, dressed similar to me. A few more minutes of music in my ears passed by as the teacher entered the room.

When he did, he slammed the books down on the desk. Everyone jumped. I turned my ipod down, knowing that if I wanted to live, I should shut up. Deidara-sama must be in a bad mood today. Perhaps his artwork got trashed…

"Class, today we have a new student. He is down at the office right now. Would anyone like to give him a tour of the school, yeah?" I shrunk down in my seat as four or five hopeless single girls raised their hands and bounced in their seats shouting 'oohhh mee!' Oh god, he's looking at me. I knew that damn evil smirk before it was even plastered on his face.

"Sakura! How wonderful for you to volunteer!" Deidara shouted, clearly exuberant.

"But I didn't – "

"Nonsense! Come. I will write you a pass, yeah." I slowly stood up from my desk and trudged over to Deidara-sama, a look of annoyance clear on my face. "Here you go. Have fun, yeah." Deidara smiled, he turned to the class and told them to take out their homework. I smiled to myself; at least I wouldn't get caught for not doing my homework last night.

I hated the office.

I hated the office.

I hated the office.

Wanna know why?

Well you see, there's this really fat woman in there, she's got no life. And whenever you enter she breathes right in your face, and oh KAMI does she have bad breath! But that's not all, she hates my guts. Pink is her least favourite colour.

My hair is pink.

So anyway, I open up the damned office door and my eyes scan the room. There are two kids in the office: a boy with raven hair whose face I could not see, and …Naruto.

What a surprise.

"Naruto, what are you doing here?" I gave him a dramatic sigh and 'tsked' him while shaking my head. He smiled at me sheepishly.

"They wouldn't let me eat ramen in class!" He seemed so genuinely upset, like his first dog ran away or something. I giggled. He smiled at me then shook his head muttering, "Next I'm not gunna be allowed to wear orange in class." Remembering my mission, I walked up to the counter bracing myself to face my rival. The woman turned slowly. Her new haircut made a three year old look like they could do better. Then with the utmost sarcasm she smiled sickeningly sweet.

"What can I do for you, sweetie?" her voice was about three octaves higher than normal. I rolled my eyes subtly.

"I'm here to pick up a new student for Deidara-sama's Honors class." I spoke harshly. I didn't need to beat around the bush with this bitch.

"Ah, yes, Sasuke Uchiha. Sasuke dear, your guide is here." I turned to wear that bitch Karin was looking to see who my new classmate would be. As soon as I saw him I knew why Karin was acting so nice.

He was absolutely stunning. My mind swirled trying to comprehend such a beauty. Screw Deidara-sama, I'm glad he sent me to get this new student! I bowed respectfully.

"Ohayo, I'm Haruno Sakura." My eyes met his gaze and instantly I found myself lost in his endless onyx orbs. He looked at me with a hint of amusement hidden in his eyes, like there was some kind of inside joke I was missing out on. I decided to ignore it. Sasuke nodded his head and replied with his name curtly. His voice was deep and unintentionally seductive. Had I been alone, I would be jumping up and down like a retard.

"Well, we should get going. Akatsuki Academy is a large place. IF we want to make it to lunch in time we should leave now. Do you have Sasuke's papers?" I unwillingly asked the bitch lady. She swiftly handed them to me, brushing Sasuke's arm. That was obviously on purpose.

Pathetic.

I left the office without another word, knowing that Sasuke would follow. As soon as the door closed behind us I let out a breath.

"That woman is evil. Do not be fooled by her nice demeanor, she will destroy you." I gritted through clenched teeth. Sasuke seemed amused.

"She seemed nice to me." He shrugged.

"She's a bitch!" I hissed. He smirked.

"Shouldn't you be touring me?" I rolled my eyes. This was going to be the start of an amazing friendship I'm sure.

What sarcasm?

Whatever could you be talking about?

"So where are you from?" I asked. Sasuke's smirk grew more prominent.

"Way south of here." He replied.

"Uh huh, okay. So what's your favourite colour?"

"What is this twenty questions?" he seemed annoyed now. It was my turn to smirk.

"Yes, in fact it is. It helps me get to know you better." I smiled in triumph.

"Well then black." Oh yes, that was not obvious due to his strictly all black clothing policy.

"Black is not a colour. It is a shade." I emphasized. Sasuke frowned.

"You are annoying." I laughed.

"Tell me something I don't know." We passed by the library, the cafeteria, west wing, east wing, north wing, south wing, hell we passed by freaking X wing for all I know.

"So where'd you move by?" I asked casually, probably planning on visiting his house sometime soon.

"The Konoha District." He replied. My eyes widened.

"I live there too!" I shouted a little excitedly.

As I caught the look on his face I blushed.

"I live on Kaji Street." I stated. He gave me a lopsided grin.

"You haven't stalked me have you?" he leaned in closer.

"What?" realization dawned upon me. "You live right by me!" He rolled his eyes at my delayed reaction. We continued walking, with me mostly blabbing on about random stuff. He would occasionally respond.

At lunch I brought him over to my table where him and Naruto promptly started a rather interesting relationship of insults including 'dobe' and 'teme'. After that, I checked his scedual and noticed that it was identical to mine. I was beginning to think that he was the one stalking me. We walked home together, and I realized that he was the neighbor that had moved in directly next to my house.

Oh joy.

A/N-Yay finally done with that chapter sorry I was a little late. Haha. Hope ya like.
