Hello everyone. Welcome to my new Naruto fanfiction. This story is very different from the last Naruto fanfiction I wrote. This story is about how someone's past can change a person drastically. Also it shows that there are people who want to help even though they don't know that person. I really hope you enjoy this chapter and review, follow, and favorite. I accept criticism, but no flames.

I do not own Naruto.

It's hard to ignore all the stares I get as I walk through the halls of Konoha Highschool. My long curly pink hair is right above my butt. I always unbutton the two top buttons of my blouse to show off my perfect c-cup breasts. Also, let's not forget my makeup that always compliments my green eyes.

I pass by one of my many ex boyfriends by my locker. I open my locker and grab one of my textbooks. "Hey Sakura give me another chance, I promise I won't put my bug collections on you." Shino Aburame said.

I close my locker and turn to him. "I'm sorry, but I just can't deal with bugs." I walk away before he could say anything else. As I was about to enter my classroom something caught the corner of my eye. I march over to the corner of the hallway.

I see an orange hair girl who looks like a freshman getting picked on by two boys. "Maybe if you take off pigtails you'll be attractive, am I right Konohamaru." One of the boys said. "Ha probably not, but let's see Udon." The other boy said.

The boy apparently named Konohamaru started reaching toward her hair. Just in time I went to the girl's side and grab his hand. "What the hell bitch!" Konohamaru said. I let go of his hand and flip my hair out of my face.

"You have to the count of three to apologize to this girl." I said pointing at her. "No way I don't know why I have..." I grab his arm tightly interrupting his sentence.

"One." I said.

"She doesn't have feelings she's ugly." Udon said. I step on his foot digging my heel into it.

"Two." I said louder.

"Okay fine!" Both boys said at the same time. I happily let go of both of them. "We are terribly sorry Moegi!" They said running off.

I turn to the girl apparently named Moegi. I crouch down to her height "Are you okay?" I ask her. She wipe her tears with her sleeves. "Yes thank 're my friends, but sometimes they are mean to me." She confess. "Well Moegi all I'm going to say to you is that be careful. Sometimes people will act like your friends when they are really not."

"Can I ask you a question?" Moegi ask. I stood up straight. "Yeah what is it?" The girl stared directly into my eyes. "Why did you help me, this is the first time somebody did this for me."

I turn around and start to walk away. "I helped you because nobody helped me before, and I know how you feel." I said. "What is your name." The girl shout out. I stop walking and turn my head. "Sakura Haruno." I look away flipping my hair.

I head to my classroom again. I open the door and sit down in the very last seat by the window. I put my textbook on the desk and I lay my head down on the side. I close my eyes trying to catch a nap before class starts. All of a sudden something hit my face causing me to jump up. I angrily look directly to my right. An annoying laugh came from the one and only Ino Yamanaka.

"Good morning Sakura, are you already tired." Ino said still laughing. I stick my tounge at her. "I couldn't fall asleep last night. I kept having that "dream"." I told her. Ino stop laughing and turned serious. "Sakura, I'm just letting you know your past will never happen again. Don't let it get to you."

I took a deep breath. "I know, but my heart is still not healed. Just look at what I become." I sadly said. Kiba, one of my classmates suddenly walked toward me. "Hey let's date Sakura." He said bluntly. I quickly check him out. "Okay sure I answer. The bell rang to signal us to our seats. "I'll talk to you after class Sakura." Kiba said walking away winking at me.

I turn to look at Ino. "I know I'm sorry I can't help it." I said to Ino. "You know dating every guy will not heal your heart." Ino truthfully said. "I know it won't, but it helps me forget. Also, I heard Kiba has a cute dog." I chuckle. "I give it about a week." Ino said rolling her eyes.

Our teacher Mr. Hatake walked in front of the chalkboard. "End of the semester project" he wrote on the board. "Listen up class it's that time of the month where I have to finalize your grades. I decided that to help some of your horrible grades is to asign an easy partner project." He said.

"Do we get to pick our partners?" I said raising my hand. I am not comfortable being somebody's partner other then Ino. look at me and grin. "Oh of course not Sakura, I get to choose them." He evilly laugh. Everybody groan.

"I will explain what the project is after you get into your partners. I already selected the groups. When I call your name please make sitting arrangements to sit with your partner." He pick up a clipboard and a pen.

"First off, Ino and Sai." As soon as he said that I slam my hand on the desk. Of all people she had to paired up with Sai, her crush. I'm supporting her the best I can, but that guy can't get a clue that she likes him. Ino looked at me with the biggest smile and I looked at her with the biggest frown.

"The next partners is Kiba and Hinata." I watch my boyfriend get up and sit next to the quiet chick. Mr. Hatake kept calling out names. I patiently wait for my name to be called. I hope it's nobody annoying that I get paired up with.

"Finally our last partners are Naruto and Sakura." He said. "Who is Naruto?" I bluntly said out loud. "Well Sakura Naruto is the only without a partner." He said if I was stupid.

I look around the room and noticed a blonde hair kid siting next to an empty desk. I walk to him and pull the desk closer to him like everyone else did.

I nonchalantly check out Naruto. His facial features aren't bad and I think I sense abs under his shirt.

"You and your partner will come up with an artistic creation that represents you and your partner. For example, you can draw, paint, or make your creation. I also want you and your partner's representation connect with each other. So I'll give you time to brain storm about it. Also I don't have an exact due date. That is all." Mr. Hatake said.

Naruto turn and look at me. "My name is Naruto Uzumaki, nice to meet you." He stick his hand out. I'm surprise that he's actually introducing himself, unlike the other guys I meet. I shook his hand and tried not to be interested. "Yeah you too, and you probably already know my name." I said.

"Well that doesn't mean that you shouldn't introduce yourself." He said. I raise an eyebrow at him. I lean foward a couple of inches from his face. "My my aren't you interesting." I tease him. He grin at me and lean foward too. Now we are breaths apart. "I can say the same thing to you Sakura." I blush backing away. "So how am I interesting Naruto?" I said folding my arms.

"Well I always assume that you are a cold heartless girl. Then today I saw you help that little girl in the hallway. That's when I realize that you actually have a heart."

I am at loss of words. "I find you funny Naruto." I chuckle at him. "I find you attractive Sakura." He replied back. I put my hand in front of him. "I'm sorry I have a boyfriend." Naruto copy my movement. "I wasn't asking you out, I was just giving you an compliment."

I move my hand and hit my forehead. There is something about this guy that I find really annoying, but at the same time in a good way.

"Okay getting back on topic, what should we do for our project?" Naruto said. I tap my fingers on the desk. "How about we make a clay sculpture. I know how to do it, but what should it be?" I question. "What represent you Sakura?" Naruto ask.

I thought about my horrible past. "A broken heart represents me. It's all I think about." I said sadly. "Okay Sakura I'm not going to ask you what happen, but until your ready you can always talk to me." Naruto said.

"I really appreciate it, but it's not something I can talk about." I said. "Anyways since I am doing a heart what should represent you?" I ask Naruto.

Naruto smile the biggest smile. "Hands, hands holding your broken heart. This is going to represent me since I like helping people, and I want to help your broken heart." Naruto sincerely said.

I blink a couple of times so I wouldn't cry. "Why Naruto, you don't even know me." Naruto look into my eyes. "It's because I know your hiding your true self and I want to help you, let me be your friend."

I look away. "I'm sorry I don't accept friends that easily. I only have one friend and that is Ino." I said.

"Wrong, you have two friends now including me. I don't care what you say we are friends now." Naruto chuckle. I am speechless. "Oh well now that we are friends let me introduce you to my best friend. I'm sure you guys will get along." Naruto said looking around the room.

"Ah found him. Sasuke come here!" Naruto shout across the room. "Naruto I don't want friends!" I raise my voice so only he could hear me. "Yes you do Sakura I can see it in your eyes."

Sasuke walk closer to us. I notice a lot of girls staring at him. "Sasuke this Sakura, she is my new friend and yours too." Sasuke stick his hand out. I grab it and shake it. "Your the girl who dated half of the guys at the school." Sasuke said in a cool voice.

I grin. "Would you like to be one of them." I tease. "I'm not interested. I don't date hoes." He smirk. Naruto elbow him in the stomach. "I'm sorry Sakura he has a bad taste in humor." I shrug my shoulders. "I don't care." I said truthfully.

"Well all I can say is that Naruto's friends are my friends and he doesn't befriends everyone." Sasuke walked away waving his hand.

"Well Sakura you just made another new friend. How do you feel." Naruto said smiling.

"He called me a hoe." I said trying to hold my laughter in. "Yeah I'm sorry about that he thinks he's funny." Naruto said.

I place my hand over my chest. My heart feels like it's going to explode. I don't know why I'm feeling like this right now. Is it because they want to be my friends? I can't trust them just yet, but something in the back of my head Is telling me that I can trust them. I clench my shirt. Naruto is trying to change my life in a matter of minutes.
