What Am I Listening To Right Now?: Nothing… O.o"

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. T.T"

"Gooooood morning Konoha City! It's six am and it's a beaut-"

Smash.

A grunt could be heard from under the covers.

A woman with brown hair in a messy bun walked into the room and neared the sleeping beauty's ear softly chanting "Saakuuraa."

Grunt.

"Sakuraaa."

Grunt.

"Come on, Sakura, honey. Time for your first day as a junior."

Gruuuunt.

"Damn it Sakura, wake up!"

"Ahhhh!" Said girl fell off of her bed in shock.

"Sakura, hurry up. It's already 6:07. You should've already been awake. I'll be downstairs making your breakfast so hurry up or else it'll get cold." She walked out the room. Correction; She twirled out the room.

"That woman needs help…" Said the pinkette who was now rubbing her sore bottom. She walked to her bathroom to take a shower and brush her teeth. When she got out she got dressed in her black skinny jeans, her Asking Alexandria band t-shirt which emphasized her curvy figure, her black chucks, and her plain, and simple-don't forget old-black jacket. She then went back to her bathroom to do her hair.

Brush.

Blooooow.

Brush.

Straighten.

Brush.

Snip.

Tease.

Brush.

Snip.

Brush.

After all of that, she examined her hair in the mirror. Her long pink hair that went down to her mid-back was in a style most popularly know as 'Scene.' Her fringe was now neatly over her left eye. Next, she put on thick eyeliner.

When she was happy with her appearance she walked downstairs, grabbed a pop-tart and a brown paper bag containing her lunch.

"Sakura, eat your damn eggs!" Ignoring the odd woman Sakura simply walked out of the house with her rainbow checkered back pack, then skipped out the door to the meeting place where she met up with her best friends to walk to school together.

She skipped all the way down her street next to a stop sign and saw none of her friends were there yet. "Eh, I'll just take out my iPod cause who knows how long I'll be waiting." She reached in her pocket and grabbed her red iPod.

A few minutes went by and the song ended. She looked at the iPods' clock that read 6:57.

"Where are they?"

"Sakura-chaan!" She knew who's voice it was.

"Sakura-chaaaaaan!" It was one of her best friend's since kindergarten.

"Sakura-chaaa-Ahh!" She giggled as she saw Naruto rubbing the back of his head while he walked next to an annoyed looking Sasuke.

Naruto wore dark blue baggy jeans, a black t-shirt, vans, and his very old orange jacket. His blond hair was messy and looked like it hasn't been brushed since…never.

Sasuke on the other hand sported a different style. He had black skinny jeans, vans, a Bullet For My Valentine band/muscle shirt, and a black and white striped jacket. His dark, raven hair was razor cut in a way that stressed out the beauty in his onyx eyes. Or was that the eyeliner?

Naruto hid behind Sakura "He keeps threatening to hit me."

"Well, I wouldn't have to if you'd just shut up." Sasuke snapped.

"Sasuke, you nervous?" Sakura teased.

"Hn."

"Anyways, Naru-what the heck?" Sakura turned around to see the blond going through her back pack. She smacked the boy. "How many times have I told you to stay outta my stuff?"

"Err- I lost count at seventy eight." He rubbed the back of his head sheepishly.

"And yet you never learn to stop. Any who, where's Itachi?" She asked, turning to Sasuke.

"Hn, like it matters." replied the raven haired boy while shoving his hands in his pocket, and walking in the direction of the school.

"Okay then…" Said the pinkette, kicking a rock with her feet as she walked.

After a ten minute walk the trio finally got to the school and walked to their homeroom, which they all coincidentally had together. Along with the fact how they all coincidentally had the same classes. Coincidentally.

As they walked up the stairs, Naruto-being the knucklehead he was-tripped on a step and fell back to his doom.

Or so we thought.

"Eeeek!" Sasuke and Sakura turned around and saw that had Naruto tripped and fallen backwards down the long flight of stairs and crash-landing on a white haired boy.

Okay, so maybe it was his doom.

"Ahhh!" The white haired boy and Naruto cried when the both made impact with each other and hit the oh-so-lovely hard floor.

"Dobe." Sasuke said with boredom while taking his sweet time walking down the steps. Sakura was a different story.

"Naruto!" She ran to her blond friend's side who was now lying in the middle of the hallway.

"Sakura…" He said with a raspy voice.

"We gotta take you to the nurse!" She said while trying to lift the boy.

"No, it's already too late. I feel my time here slowly fading." A crowd was already forming in the hallway.

"Huh? No!"

"Oh! Is that the light?" A dramatic tear escaped from his eye as he pointed in a random direction. Some kid pointed at himself and mouthed 'Me?'

"No! Don't say that-"

"Shhh… " He put a finger on her plump, pink lips. "Shh... time for talking is over. Let our tongues do the dance of love." And with that he leaned forward to the girl.

"Oh, Naruto…" Sakura started, "You idiot!" She punched him in the face causing him to fly animatedly several feet away and over the crowd. She stomped back to Sasuke who had an amused look on his face.

"The dance of love?"

"Shut it."

"Didn't Naruto land on someone when he fell?"

"…Oh yeaaah!" She turned around and saw a white haired guy being laughed at by some other guy with a mask.

"Err.. Is he okay?" She asked as she stood next the masked guy.

"Eh, even if he was dead then I'd be happy 'cause I would making money off of his life insurance." The boy simply walked away, obviously, trying to hold his laugh in. The warning bell was heard, signaling for all students to go to their appropriate homerooms.

"Okey dokey, well I think we should go to homeroom now." Sasuke nodded and they left.

As they walked in the room they received glares from the girls. Okay, Sakura received the glares. Sasuke was just making some other girls drool. Ew.

Sasuke fangirl drool.

Epic ew.

Sasuke sat in the middle of the room. Sakura was going to sit in the seat next to him, but apparently someone else thought different.

"Karin, get out of my seat." Said girl glared back at the pinkette.

"This seat doesn't have a name on it. And if it did it would have mine. Right, Sasuke-kun?" The firey haired girl purred as she leaned onto said boy.

Sasuke just had a look of disgust and got up out of his seat and sat in the back of the room, pulling up a seat and motioned for Sakura to sit in it before he sat next to her.

Karin just gawked at them both and went back to sitting with her posse which consisted of a blonde girl named Ino and a brunnette named Ami.

"Sorry." Sakura apologized.

"It's cool."

At that moment the teacher walked in. He had spikey, silver hair that seemed to stick out in all directions. He also wore a mask that covered his whole face except one eye.

"Sorry I'm late, but I got lost on the road of life." He crinkled his eyes, as if he was smiling. "Anyways, everyone, I'm gonna call your names to check for role. First is-" He was interrupted when someone burst through the door.

"I'm here!" Naruto.

"Ahh, yes, we can see that… What is your name?" Asked the teacher.

"Naruto Uzumaki..."

"Ah, well, hello there, Naruto Uzumaki. I'm Kakashi Hatake and I'm gonna be your homeroom and math teacher." There he went, doing the eye crinkling thing again.

"Okay…" Naruto said quite awkwardly.

"You know, Naruto, that you can take a seat…right?"

"Oh right!" He looked around the class and saw Sasuke and Sakura and sat next to Sasuke since Sakura already sat near the window.

"Okay, class, without anymore interruptions," he looked at Naruto, "would you all take out your notebooks and copy down what I'm about to put on the board."

A few hours went by and the three teens already went to math, science, and history. Now it was time for lunch.

On the way to lunch, Sakura remembered that she had forgotten her bag of lunch. She told Sasuke and Naruto to go ahead without her and that she'd catch up.

So, now she walked down the hallway to her locker. But before she made it there she heard a scream. Knowing that Konoha High had a reputation with fights she decided to go to the source since it didn't sound far away. In fact, it was just a hallway away.

When she got there she saw Karin, Ino, and Ami picking on a boy with an orange swirly mask, that was on the floor, backed up to the lockers, trembling. And being the kind person she was, Sakura got in between the Karin's posse and the boy.

"Leave him alone." She said with finality coming off her words.

"This doesn't involve you, Haruno." The firey red haired girl said in the snobbish voice that annoyed Sakura.

"I'm only gonna say this nicely one more time, since you can't get it through your thick skull. Leave him alone." The receiving end of the threat continually glared at her.

"I'm sick of you coming in between me and Sasuke. I'm sick of you butting into things that you have nothing to do with. And lastly, I'm sick of you breathing the same air as me." She said then got close to Sakura's ear, causing Sakura to tense, and whispered something. "Go die, emo girl. "

Sakura's fist met with Karins' face. Ino and Ami gasped loudly and ran to their leader's side.

"I've put up with enough of your shit for far too fucking long. You've ruined my life, and your lucky I don't even give you half the pain that you gave me." Ami saw that her friend had passed out, so she glared at Sakura. Ino, on the other hand, looked at Sakura with wonder then suggested that they should take their friend to the nurse.

When they were gone, Sakura turned around to face the masked boy whom she had forgotten about until now.

"Hi, I'm Sakura." she lent a hand to help him up. He looked at it, as if wondering whether or not to trust her, then took it. "What's your name?"

"Tobi's name is Tobi! And pretty girl saved Tobi! Yay!" He hugged the pinkette who was left blushing madly. "Thank you, Sakura-Chan!"

"N-No problem." Trying to recover from the blush-attack she was having.

"Mmmm.. Sakura-Chan smells good!" All of her efforts put into trying to keep herself from blushing were useless.

"Th-Thank you.." She saw a white haired boy walk up to her and push Tobi away. Before she could protest he took her hand and started kissing it.

"My name is Hidan, but you can call me Hidan-kun."

"Hey, aren't you the guy that Naruto landed on this morning when he fell off the stairs?" She took it as a yes when the white haired boy known as 'Hidan' tensed from embarrassment.

Okay, so far her today was weird.

First, she had a pop-quiz in math. And it's the first day. Second, she got involved with Karin and her posse-twice. And third, some random guy was making out with her hand.

"A random hot guy." Inner-Sakura corrected.

"Shut up, will you?"

"Oh, you know he's sexy."

"Go somewhere."

"And miss this? Nah, I don't know when the next time you'll have a boy flirting on you whom's name doesn't rhyme with Flah-u-grow."

"Fuck you."

"Hey look! He has a friend!"

I looked up and saw a blond boy walk up behind him.

"He's pretty hot, too!" She squealed. "Wait-He is a he, right?"

"Go away!"

"Hey, I'm Deidara, un." The blond boy greeted with a deep, masculine voice helping inner Sakura finalize he was male and that she wasn't turning into a lesbian.

"Good to know, now fuck off." Hidan said with annoyance in his voice.

"Now, why would I listen to you-" His words were cut short when he fell on his knees, breathing heavily, and grasping his… you know…

"Hidan, you bastard, un!" The blond growled as Hidan smirked.

"Hidan!" Sakura yelled. The bastard was being rude for cutting off someone..

"What?" He innocently played, though Sakura knew he was faking.

"I don't even know you, but you're such a prick!" Sakura stormed off to her locker then walked to the cafeteria.

This day just couldn't get any better.

Hello everyone. I hope you liked it even though I had to edit it. A lot. I know I took out the bus scenes and whatnot, but I have a perfectly good reason.

I just wasn't feeling it.

It involved too much description and I didn't want to bore you all out. So, I am just making everyone walk to school. It'd be nice if you could give me feedback, tips, and such. Especially since I'm winging it all 'cause I am too lazy to plan it out.

Ja Ne~! ^_^
