This chapter is for my first reviewer skShadowKissed- thank you for the advice.

Sakura's POV
5:00 am next morning

I got up this early because I needed to take a shower. Why else would anyone get up this early in the morning? I grabbed my clothes from yesterday, a towel and then walked into my bathroom. I made the water cold and took my clothes off. I stepped in the shower and began my morning routine. I grabbed my strawberry shampoo and washed my hair. I rinsed the shampoo out then followed with strawberry conditioner. Then I grabbed washcloth and cleaned my body with my body wash (strawberry of course.). I turned off the water and grabbed my towel and wrapped it around my body. I got my blow dryer out of the cabinet and began working on my long hair. Once it completely dried I curled it and sprayed hairspray on it. I put anti-frizz shine in my hair. Now my hair was shiny and curly.

After I dealt with my hair, I got dressed and put on my make-up. I put on some eyeliner (not too much because I didn't want to look like a raccoon.) and I put purple eye shadow on. My eyes were smoky looking (smoky eyes). I put on light pink blush (that was barely noticeable) and strawberry lip gloss.

I looked at my clock and it was 6:30 am. I still had 15 minutes before I had to leave. So I scurried downstairs to eat breakfast. I had a bowl of strawberry fields cereal. I then made my way back up stairs to my room and brushed my teeth. I reapplied my lip gloss and left the bathroom. I grabbed my Ipod and droid. I checked my clock again and it was 6:42. It was almost time to go so I put my Ipod and cell in my backpack, put the backpack on my shoulders, grabbed my duffel bag and went to the garage, I put my duffel bag into my brothers car, knowing full well which one he'd take. He loved his precious Porsche. I walked over to my bike. I pressed the button on the garage opener to open the garage. I started my bike and left. I didn't shut the garage because my brother would leave shortly.

AT SCHOOL

I got off my bike. I was so glad that no one was here. It was about an hour before school would start. I came here early because I'm the captain of the softball and volleyball teams and I needed to post the roster for this year. I also needed to practice for basketball tryouts. The only reason I had to tryout is because Karin decided she wanted to challenge me. They already had tryouts at the end of last year. Stupid Karin, she just had to make life difficult. She knows I'm going to own her. I walked into the school and headed to my locker. I placed my backpack and helmet on the floor to open my locker. Once it was opened, I put my helmet on the middle shelf that I had placed in there yesterday. I put my backpack on the floor of the locker and my books on the top shelf. I grabbed my phone and Ipod out of my backpack and closed my locker. I headed off to the gym because I knew my brother would already be there.

IN THE GYM

Yep. Just as I thought. Gaara was waiting for me….and so was Sasuke. Hmm. Interesting.

"Yo bro what's up" I said breaking the silence.

"Not much Sakura. Here is your duffel bag and your schedule. You have about forty-five minutes to practice. Sasuke is here to help." Gaara replied

"Cool. I assume we have the same classes this year too." I said

"Yea, it wasn't that hard. Tsunade was drunk as hell. Gotta love our principal." Gaara chuckled.

"Thanks, I don't know what I'd do without you."

"Neither do I. oh and cheerleading tryouts are after lunch. You might want to eat something light."

" Wow, I think that is the most I have heard you talk. Thanks. See you in home room."

He walked off and I told Sasuke to wait so I could get changed. He let out a hn and started practicing free throwing. I entered the locker room and found my locker. Locker #1. Typical. My teammates must love me for passing this locker up. I threw my duffel bag on the bench and grabbed my uniforms out of it. They were already placed on hangers. I hung them up and grabbed my cheerleading practice uniform. Just your basic Zebra Print (They didn't have neon orange) Soffe's and a black and sometimes white t-shirt. The colors varied between the girls. There wasn't a mandatory color in shorts just the brand. But you had to wear a black or white t-shirt. (A/N LINKS ON MY PAGE) We had to put a restriction on shirts because girls would show up in v-necks or just a bra. It was ridiculous. They only did it because we had practice next to the football field, where the boys were. And if we were required to wear the same type of shorts then they would all be the same length. So problem solved. But anyway, after I changed I started to stretch, because I so didn't want to stretch in front of Sasuke. Then I walked out to the gym.

"Let's get started. I need to practice my guarding. So you're offense." I said. He okayed and started to dribble the ball. I tried to block him and he went the other way. I tried to get the ball and he dodged it easily. Then I finally managed to slap the ball out of his hands and get a basket.

"Nice game" he said "Now go change. Home room starts soon."

"Nah, I'm already dressed. I'll change my clothes after tryouts."

"Ok then, lets go"

We left the gym and almost immediately Sasuke's fan girls bombarded us. With shrieks of "marry me Sasuke-kun" or "let me carry your babies" or my personal favorite "Oh, Sasuke-kun are you dating her, no!" His face was twisted in disgust. We made it into Kakashi-Sensei's room. Unfortunately he wasn't there. I walked with Sasuke up to our seats, despite the glares from his fan girls. I sat down next to my brother. Twenty minutes later sensei finally walked in. He tried to give us the "I was helping an old lady with her groceries" excuse but Naruto told him to shut up.

Sensei told us that we had to meet our teachers today and that was it. Unless you had sports practice or tryouts. So Sasuke and I went back to the gym with our friends. We played five on five basket ball, girls VS boys. On my team was Ino, TenTen, Hinata, and Amai, a girl I know from a while back, and myself. On Sasuke's team was Naruto, Neji, Gaara, and Shikamaru. It ended up being a tie the first time. Then the boys won the next time. They were quick games, seeing as all of were athletes.

Sasuke was on the basketball, football, and volleyball. He's captain of the football team. Neji was on basketball team. Naruto was on the football, basketball, and he was captain of the volleyball team. My brother was on the football team and was captain of the basketball team. Shikamaru was on the football team. I captain of volleyball and softball teams. I'm more than likely going to be captain of the basketball team. And I'm captain of the cheerleading squad. Hinata is second in command of all those. She was the second most athletic girl in the school. Well, tied with Amai that is. Amai was on all my teams as well. All three of us are going to try out for the soccer team. Ino is on the cheerleading squad and TenTen is on the cheerleading squad and volleyball team. Yep, the ten of us are pretty active.

We had just started our third gave and then the lunch bell rang. We all went into the locker rooms and took a real quick shower. I put on my actual cheer uniform because my other uniform was all sweaty. Us girls put our clothes in the washer we had in the locker room. We left the locker room and the boys were waiting for us. We walked up to them and Naruto put his arm around Hinata, Neji put his arm around TenTen, Shikamaru put his arm around Ino and Gaara put his arm around Amai. Sasuke and I just walked next to our love struck friends. Seriously, they've been dating since freshman year. We walked into the lunch room and found a table to sit at. The guys went up and bought us food. The guys gave each of their girlfriends food. Except for Gaara and Sasuke. Sasuke didn't want Gaara to buy his sister food and Gaara didn't want Sasuke to buy me food. Over protective brothers. So Gaara bought my food and Sasuke bought her food. The boys bought all of us salads because we had cheerleading tryouts today. I looked over at Karin, I didn't really like her but she was good at what she did. I also noticed she wasn't eating anything. I grabbed the apple that Gaara bought me and walked over to her table.

"Karin you need to eat" I told her.

"No, I don't your just trying to make me fat and sluggish." she replied, snidely.

"No, I'm trying to help you. I don't want you passing out during tryouts. Besides I only came here to give you this because Sasuke told me to. He doesn't like anorexic girls you know. He likes girls who eat something." I told her, half lying.

"Really? Ok." she said, taking the apple.

"See you at tryouts. Do your best." I told her as I walked away.

"Why'd you do that, Sakura?" Sasuke asked me.

"I was generally worried. She needs to eat. I mean come on. Anorexia is so unattractive." I said, shrugging.

"But how'd you do it? We have told her like fifty million times that not eating was unhealthy." Ino said.

"Oh, I told her that Sasuke told me to come over there and tell her to eat. I told her that Sasuke likes girls who actually eat." insert spit take from Sasuke.

"Why did you tell you that Sakura?" he asked me frantically

"Hey" I said wiping the spit off me, "It got her to eat. That's all I care about."

I got up and started to leave. "Come on girls. We have to get set up for tryouts. Bye guys." and then us girls walked off.

IN THE GYM
CHEER TRYOUTS
SAKURA'S POV

"ALL RIGHT GIRLS! LISTEN UP! WE ARE GOING TO START OUT WITH A BASIC CHEER! IT'S CALLED TAKE IT TO THE UP!" I said in my cheerleading voice.

"5,6,7,8" Hinata shouted. While she and Amai stood in front of the twenty-three girls hoping to take the one of the ten spots available for the team. They showed them the moves and then made them repeat them. Then we taught them the words. We weeded out the ones who couldn't do the routine. Then we made them do the whole thing.

TAKE IT THE TOP (clap hands)

TAKE IT TO THE TOP. (toe touch)

NO WE WILL NEVER STOP.

WE'RE THE HOTTEST THING AROUND (spin around)

WE'RE THE BADDEST THING IN TOWN (double clap)

SO WATCH OUT FOR THIS TEAM (put hand out like a stop signal)

'CUZ WE'RE FOLLOWING OUR DREAM (put finger up to the temple of head)

TAKE IT-TAKE IT- TAKE IT TO THE TOP! (start formation of three pyramids)

WE CANT- WE CANT- WE JUST CANT BE BEAT (flyers go on the base of the pyramid, then get thrown in the air)

GO HORNETS (flyers land on the base of and end in liberty, while cradling out)

By the end of the cheer we had fourteen girls left.(A/N sorry for the cheesiness of this cheer)We only made them do the required handstands, back flips, herky, and scale. We had our ten girls. They were Karin, Ami, Jenna, Lori, Nora, Madison, Haley, Katie, Mira, and Serena. But they didn't know that because I wouldn't tell any of the fourteen girls who were left, they would know tomorrow. Yes, I was that mean. But oh well, they can hate me all they want. It was the end of school when tryouts ended. I grabbed a snack and rushed to the locker room to change for the basket ball tryout.

AFTER BASKETBALL TRYOUT

So Karin challenged me to a five on five match. You know, to see which of us could lead a team better. So I ended up with the same team I had going up against Sasuke. And Karin had her team of sluts. I had to say she didn't lose that bad. Be played to ten points and we won 11 to 6. Not to bad. But I got to maintain my status as basketball captain. I was pretty happy. After tryouts I got changed into the clothes I had worn to school. I left the school locking the doors because everyone, even the teachers had left.. I got on my bike and left.

I parked my bike in the garage and walked in the house. When I walked in, the house smelled like burned popcorn. I went to the kitchen to investigate. No one was in there. I furrowed my brow. I knew Gaara wasn't home because football practice was today and he wouldn't get back till seven tonight. Plus he has a date with Amai at eight. So I am wondering who was in my house. I heard someone playing my bass guitar. I walked up to the fourth floor. When I opened the door I was absolutely shocked. There in the room was someone i hadn't seen in years.

sorry to leave it on a cliff hanger. I'm devious. Ha-ha. Merry Christmas. I will post the next one after new year. This story is a little behind so Christmas in this story might be late. I'm sorry.
