New Beginnings

 

Chapter 1: Friends

 

 

She emerged from the bathroom wearing a white skinny strapped tank top which hugged her curves to compliment them, she had on a Tripp black, white and blue plaid mini skirt which had random buckles and zippers sewn all over it. She wore extra high top converse which were completely black with white shoe laces, she simply ran a brush through her pink hair which went to her shoulders, and swiped her black hoodie from her bead to put on. She grabbed her Black denim messenger bag and ran out through the front door without grabbing breakfast. She sprinted down seven blocks before stopping to intake the oxygen which she forgot to breath on the last two blocks. Looking at her watch she saw that she was fifteen minutes late for class Hah! 20 minutes earlier than I was at my last school. I'm getting good at this She smiled and took a normal pace towards the school front doors. As she was walking she noticed another figure also walking towards the doors from the opposite side Looks like I'm not the only one who's late. He's pretty good looking; maybe this school won't be completely horrible. She reached the school door to notice he was right behind her and would be coming through the same door as well so she decided she would be nice and hold the door open for him, but when he walked in he walked past her as she was just another part of the door. Jackass she thought to herself continuing down the hall, she paused for a moment retrieving her schedule from her butt pocket so first period, L.A., Kakashi Hatake, RM#408 she looked up at the classroom numbers to realize that she was standing in front of 408 Oh, cool! She opened the door to see a man with a mask on and grey hair which had a slight tilt to it sitting on his desk reading a book. Kakashi looked up lazily to only look back down.

 

“Haruno Sakura I take it?”

 

“Yes”

 

“You're later than me. Not the best thing to do on your first day.” Sakura smiled innocently and muttered an apology but Kakashi paid no attention to this for he was already pulling her in front of the class. He looked at her as if waiting for something.

“Well, go ahead, introduce yourself.” Sakura smiled and looked at the class nervously before starting.

 

“I'm Sakura; I just came here from across town.” Sakura looked at the emotionless class when her eyes fell on a boy in the back of the class room with brilliant red hair and a tattoo of the Japanese symbol for love on his forehead Oh great, it's the jerk that I saw at the school doors. After Sakura had finished her introduction Kakashi motioned her to an empty seat in front of the boy with red hair. Sakura sighed and slowly walked over, taking her seat. After about five minutes of sitting in class while random kids talked and as the teacher sat reading his book as he pretended it wasn't happening, Sakura got a tap on her right shoulder. Sakura looked to her right to see a girl with blonde hair which was set up in four spiky buns, black baggy cargo pants, combat boots, a tight dark purple tank top with fish net gloves that went up past her elbows and about 15 silver rings on her fingers smiling at her. “Hey, I'm Temari”

 

“Hey”

 

“So, is your natural hair color actually pink?” At this Sakura hesitated answering her. At her last school that was all Sakura got teased for, well that, and how she dressed. But knowing they would find out sooner or later she let out a shy “yes”. She looked down at the ground knowing it would only seclude her from ever getting a chance to have friends. That was only until she heard Temari say something Sakura had never heard before.

 

“Wow, really? That's awesome! Sakura looked up surprised to see a smiling Temari, as Sakura returned her smile.

 

“Thanks” Temari nodded.

 

“Hey so since you're new I can show you around and stuff, my friends will probably be cool with you, what do ya say?” Sakura jumped at the opportunity.

 

“Yeah, that'd be great!” For the rest of the class Temari and Sakura just talked about random stuff, like where Sakura was from, who Temari was and that she had two brothers who she also hung out with, their names which were Kankuro and Gaara, Gaara who so happened to be the jerk in which she already didn't like and when introduced he just let out a “Hn” without taking his eyes off the book he was reading.

 

Later that day at lunch (yes, it's lunch, the other classes don't matter right now) Temari lead Sakura through the school towards a back door which then lead to some bushes, at this Sakura gave Temari a worried look who only responded by giggling and continuing on. Once they came to the bushed Sakura noticed a small path through them which lead to a clearing. In the clearing Sakura noticed other people there which she thought they must be Temari's group.

 

“Alright everyone, we have a new girl here, her name is Sakura so get off your asses and introduce yourselves!” At this an energetic boy with bright blue eyes and blonde messy hair sprung up off the grass and ran to Sakura. He was wearing black pants with a black shirt which had an orange fox on the front and black shoes.

 

“I'm Naruto Uzumaki, nice to meet you!” Sakura laughed as Temari rolled her eyes.

 

The next one to introduce them self was a messy brown haired boy with red tattooed streaks down his cheeks. He wore a big grey sweatshirt with baggy black cargo shorts and black skater shoes. “I'm Kiba! And this little guy in my sweatshirt is Akamaru!” Akamaru gave a little bark.

 

“Hi, I'm Tenten!” Said a girl with brown hair with it set in two buns with her bangs swayed on her face. She had on dark green baggy capris with a tight black t-shirt and worn out low top converse on. “And this is Hinata” She said pointing to a timid looking girl who had dark blue short hair with bangs that shaped her face. She wore a big brown sweatshirt unzipped with a white tank top underneath and black shorts with ended just above her knees and black high top converses. When she look up at Sakura, she had light blue eyes which almost resembled white with no pupil. Sakura smiled as Hinata let out a shy “hi”.

 

“I'm Neji.” Said a boy with a stern voice. He had long brown hair which was tied in a loose pony tail. He wore a simple dark blue t-shirt with black jeans and black shoes. Sakura also noticed his eyes; they were just like Hinata's which made her wonder if they were related.

 

“What's up, I'm Kankuro” A boy with messy shortish brown hair and purple paint on his face emerged slinging his arm about her while smirking. He was wearing a black t-shirt and black pants with black and purple skater shoes.

 

“She's been here what, five minutes and your already hitting on her?” Temari said glaring at Kankuro.

 

“Hey, she's been here for at least six.” At this Temari gave him a sharp blow to his shoulder.

 

“You'll have to excuse my brother; he's a bit of an ass sometimes.” Kankuro walked away rubbing his shoulder as he cursed his sister under his breath and as Sakura silently giggled. “Now” Temari said walking over to a boy with brown hair which was set up in a spiky pony tail. He wore simple grey shorts with a white t-shirt and black skater shoes. He had a cigarette in his right hand while he looked up at the sky. “This lazy ass is Shikamaru, and when I say lazy I mean it.”

 

“Hmp, it's too troublesome not to be.” But after he spoke he waved to Sakura showing that he acknowledged her. Temari rolled her eyes and walked back over to Sakura. “And as you know that's Gaara my little brother” She motioned over to an emotionless red haired boy with sky blue eyes with a tint of green which had dark black circles around them. He wore a black hoodie left unzipped with a red shirt underneath, black baggy pants and black converse. Sakura smiled his way but yet again only got a short “Hn” in return. Jerk. Stupid Jerk. Stupid good looking jerk. Temari grabbed Sakura's arm and walked over to sit down with the group of friends. Once seated on the grass, Hinata spoke up.

 

“S-so what school did you come from before Konaha?”

 

“Whitsfield” Kiba laughed.

 

“Isn't that that preppy snob bitch school?”

 

Sakura smiling “Yep, that's the one.” Kiba looked confused but Tenten spoke up.

 

“How'd you end of here?”

 

“I got in trouble for fighting one too many times.” At this Gaara looked up from his book, but only for a second. “This school was only two hours away so we moved here. Naruto smiled and spoke.

 

“Hah! That's funny, most of us fight too, but only when the preppy bastards get of hand.” Temari chimed in cheerfully.

 

“Mostly it's just Ino and Sasuke. Ino is basically a Barbie doll bitch and Sasuke, well Sasuke is an idiotic pretty boy perv who doesn't know the meaning of the word no.”

 

“You speak like you have experience dealing with him.” At this Shikamaru was sitting strait up glaring strait forward.

 

“Yeah, I do, basically he won't stop hitting on me. Same goes for Hinata and Tenten and now that you're here probably you. But as a group we watch out for each other so don't worry.” She said smiling.

 

“Yeah! We we'll watch out for you!” Naruto said enthusiastically. “You are after all our friend now.” At these words Sakura could feel her heart lift, she had never really heard someone refer to her as that, she savored the moment. Friends. Temari's words broke her thought.

 

“So on Friday everyone's coming over to mine, Gaara's and Kankoru's house, are you interested?” Sakura smiled.

 

“Yeah! But how will I get there? My car's well, my car is sort of dead from my bad driving” Sakura said as she smiled innocently.

 

“Well, I can give you directions and you can just ask your parents to drive you.” At this Sakura's heart dropped, the feeling of coldness gripped at her, slowly mocking her. Gaara who until could care less of what was going on noticed her sudden change, though no one else noticed for it was of mere seconds that it happened. Sakura lit of with a smile once more.

 

“Oh, they work too much; I'll just learn the bus routes.”

 

“Hah! Don't be stupid, you can just ride in my car with Kankuro, Gaara and me.” Sakura suddenly felt her spirits being lifted.

 

“Thanks! So what exactly do you do over at your house?”

 

“We normally listen to music, play video games-“

 

“Which I totally OWN at by the way!” Kiba yelled. Temari ignoring his statement continued on.

 

“-Play games, watch movies, eat crap, anything really. Oh and by the way all the girls are invited to spend the night for a sleep over as of now to welcome Sakura. The guys, including my brothers with sleep over at Naruto's, Kiba's, Shikamaru's or Neji's house. The four girls giggled at this.

 

“Hey! Who are you to be telling me to get of my own house?!” Kankuro yelled, but then turning into a quick smirked walked over to Sakura. “Besides, I want to welcome Sakura too.” This time, Sakura shot him a punch to his arm. At this everyone burst into laughter as he doubled over in pain, even Gaara let out a smirk. And finally Sakura finally felt like she belonged somewhere.
