Third period couldn't have taken any longer, as Sakura sat there waiting for it to end, she went over everything that happened so far. Ino, Temari and Tenten seemed nice and Sakura had a good feeling that they would get along this year. Pshh and Sakura's parents were worried about her making new friends; Sakura was one of the popular girls at her old high school.
At the end of third Sakura got out of her seat a little too quickly and all of the sudden felt like the world was off balance. She tried to reach out and grab on to something solid to stead herself when she bumped into a solid object behind her. It wasn't an object though, it was a person. The thump she heard was the sound of her head hitting a guy's chest.
"Wow, hey there, I don't appreciate stoners running in to me," a cynical low voice spat out. "Oh my god, I am so sorry," Sakura quickly apologized as she regained her bearings. Sakura turned around to see who she had just offended, and stopped dead in her tracks. His spiked back hair was so dark it almost had a dark blue shine to it. His face was stern and his eyes where dark and piercing. Sakura soon realized this boy was a classmate. More specifically the one that came in late and was forced to take the only available seat left in the class; the only seat left was beside Sakura. She hadn't really paid much attention to him during the class, since she was distracted by her invitation to spend lunch with her new found friends. "What are you staring at woman?" Sasuke grunted. "Mmm, nothing. I…" She stopped and looked right into his cold eyes, "got to go," Sakura picked up her books and pushed passed the boy. What's stuck up his butt, Sakura thought to herself as she stormed out of the classroom. She pressed on down the hall slowly trying to calm herself down. She still felt the effects of the dizziness and felt kind of light headed. By the time she reached her locker, Sakura felt mostly back to normal and had almost completely forgotten about the whole incident. Sakura tried to open her locker. Once, twice, three times. Click. It finally opened. Sakura was so distracted by trying to open her locker she didn't see the tall boy standing 2 feet behind her. "Aaaahhhhgggg, what in the world are you doing standing right behind me?" Sakura tried to calm herself down again. The surprise had caused her to drop her books on the floor; she quickly bent over to pick them up. All of the sudden a blurry object came in front of her eyes. Her eyes adjusted to see her pencil case extending from the boy's hand. "You forgot this in the class when you ran away," the dark haired boy said coolly. Sakura blushed for a minute remembering the incident that caused her to storm off and at her own clumsiness for forgetting her pencil case. Sakura quickly recovered herself, "thank you, and I didn't run away." She grabbed her pencil case from his hand and stuffed it along with her books in to her locker. "Ya sure, whatever," Sasuke said as he casually turned, putting his hands in his pockets, "you know, you're annoying." He then disappeared into the crowd of people without another word. By that time, Temari and Ino were standing there with eyes wide, staring at Sakura. Sakura was confused, and then she realized they had witnessed what had just passed in between her and the charcoal eyed boy. "What a jerk," Sakura mumbled to herself. "What IN the WORLD WAS THAT?" The two other girls exclaimed. "What in the world are you talking about?" Sakura mimicked their voices. "But… but you and… and Sasuke?" Ino stammered. "What Ino is trying to say, but apparently is incapable of coherent thought," Temari stepped in, "is you just freaked out, not just in front of, but TO Sasuke Uchiha; the most popularly, sexy, stuck up, self-centered, egotistical, jerk in the whole school." Ino looked at her friend stunned. How could she dare say such things about her sex god like that? Her horror must have shown on her face because Temari continued, "Some of the girls at this school are a little obsessed with him and would have died to be in your position, even for him to have just acknowledged your existence, let alone have returned something to you, is a great honor." Temari scoffed at the last word. "Oh and apparently you're above him, Temari?" Sakura inquired slyly. Temari only smirked, but Ino was ready to jump in on this one. "Sasuke broke her heart last year!" "He did what?" Sakura laughed. The corner of Temari mouth began to twitch, she looked like she was ready to pulverize Ino. "You're exaggerating it again, Ino," Temari warned. "Pfft sure, whatever. Anyway we're supposed to show Sakura around the school now!" Ino grabbed Sakura's arm and started to drag her along. "What about lunch?" Sakura whimpered. Her stomach began to growl at her. "Grab it, we can eat and walk!" Ino lifted her container of salad and plastic fork to show Sakura. Sakura grabbed her chicken wrap and her juice box and quickly caught up with Ino and Temari, who were already making their way down the hall. The 3 girls walked side by side chatting about this and that as Ino and Temari pointed out key things of interest. "He's got a bad acne problem and she always wares really short skirts." Ino whispered as she pointed out people passing by in the hall. "That girl lost her V-card to her boyfriend in less than a week of dating," Ino continued on her gossip ramble. Sakura just nodded her head and occasionally added in an, "oh really?" Sakura had always found gossip kind of silly, but she wasn't about to burst her new friends bubble. "Where's Tenten? I thought she was going to meet us for lunch?" Ino asked. "She has soccer tryouts today, so we probably won't see her," Temari replied. "Oh and you see there, that door is where the stoners hang out, so I suggest you stay away from there if you know what's good for you," Ino spouted through Sakura's thoughts. "Hey you ok there, hun?" Ino queried. "Ya, you look kinda lost in your head somewhere," Temari piped in slightly concerned. "Oh, its nothing's really, it's just a lot of information to take in, that's all." Sakura reassured. She glanced over at the circle of guitar players, "What's the deal with them?" Sakura asked, trying to avoid anymore questioning from her friends. Apparently it worked, because Ino then went on a tangent about the musicians and completely forgot about spacey Sakura.
