Chapter One

A New Day

Why do we ((sleep)) through church, but stay ((awake)) through a 2 hour movie?

Why is it so ((hard)) to talk about God, but so ((easy)) to talk about sex?

Why are we so ((bored)) when we look at a Christian magazine, but find it ((easy)) to read Playboy?

Why is it so easy to ((ignore)) a godly MySpace bulletin, yet we repost the ((nasty)) ones.

Why are ((churches)) getting smaller, but ((bars and clubs)) are growing?

6:00 a.m.

The constant, annoying beep continued for five minutes before a lazy hand reached out of the bed and slammed down on the button. The hand the slip off of the device and fell against the side of the bed, while a pink-haired teen rose from under the covers. She rubbed her tired eyes and then moved the loose pink strands of hair from her face.

Looking around her dark room she noticed that the sun was just rising from the horizon. Sakura glanced at the alarm clock that rested upon the nightstand next to her bed. It read 6:07 on the digital screen. Now, what was I getting up to do? Oh yea, that's right . . . school.

Sakura Haruno just moved to Konoha at the beginning of summer. After a few weeks in the new city, her mom was called on a very important business trip. One that would probably take a year at the most. Until she came back, Sakura was hone alone. Her father was a missing man and was also divorced. Sakura was glad her mom called it quits on her so called father; they never got along.

Quickly getting out of bed, Sakura hurried over to her dresser and grabbed some new clothes that she had just bought over the long, boring summer. She then hurried into the shower. Once she was down, she quickly dried her hair, got dressed, and went downstairs.

As she entered the kitchen and opened the cupboard, grabbed the box of Lucky Charms, and sat down at the table. Once she was sitting down, she started to eat the marshmallows that were in the cereal. When she glanced at the clock, she saw that it was already 7:30. Shoving a handful of cereal into her mouth, she grabbed her bag and ran towards the door. But once she reached the door, the phone rang. Who the hell is calling this early in the morning! Sakura hurried over to the ringing device and picked it up. "Hello?"

"Please do not hang up. This is call concerning your car insurance that is about to expire. If you wish—" Sakura slammed down the phone. I HATE those stupid phone calls!

Sakura hurried out the door and started to walk towards the school. Just as she was walking down the road she saw a girl with long, blonde hair. She had seen this girl walk around the town following some other guy, but since Sakura never got out of her house ever since she moved, she hasn't had the chance to meet anyone.

Deciding that it would be a good idea and try to meet other people, Sakura quickly caught up with the girl in front of her. "Um, hi, I'm Sakura Haruno."

The blonde-haired girl turned to face her. "Oh, hi! I'm Ino Yamanaka. I take that you're new here?"

Sakura nodded her head. "Yeah, my mother and I just moved here from the other side of the United States."

"Oh that's cool. I'm sure my friends will absolutely love you. So if you want to hang around with us, it'll be fine." Ino told.

"I'd love too, since I haven't met anyone else yet." Sakura mentioned.

The two teenage girls walked into the school campus. Sakura looked around the area she was currently in. From where she stood, she could easily see clumps of kids hanging out in different spots on the lawn. Must be the school's 'social groups.' Sakura thought to herself.

"I wonder where Sasuke is." Sakura heard Ino mumble.

"I'm sorry, but who's Sasuke?" Sakura asked.

Ino turned towards her with a shocked expression on her face. "Sasuke Uchiha is only like the hottest guy who goes to Konoha High!" She squealed.

Sakura made an 'Oh' shape with her mouth. It's not my fault I'm new here.

I need you Aquarius,

Enchanted I will have to stay . . .

Sakura slightly jumped when she heard her phone go off. She took her cell phone out of her pocket and flipped it open. On the screen it read: One new message.

Clicking the 'OK' button, a message popped up on the screen that read:

Hope you're having fun on your first day of High School!

Love, Mom

Sakura smiled as she put away her phone. "Who was that?"

Sakura looked and saw that the blonde-haired girl was looking at her. "Oh, it was just my mom."

"Your mom texts you?" Ino asked with a disgusted look on her face.

"Um, yeah, but she was only wishing me good luck since she isn't home, so it's only like a one time deal." She lied.

"Oh, well that's weird—Oh look its Sasuke!"

Sakura looked in the direction the girl was looking in. But once she saw what was happening, her mouth slightly opened. This 'Sasuke' person was currently face-to-face with another teen, and by the way it looked, they weren't friends. "Did that freak get in his way again?" Ino asked herself harshly.

She continued to watch as Sasuke punched the kid in the stomach and started to walk towards them. What the hell was that for?!

"Just ignore that freak, Sakura. You don't want to get involved with him. Trust me; I heard from my other friends that a kid went missing after they got involved with that monster. The freak most likely killed the poor kid."

Sakura looked at the blonde with slight disgusted written on her face. But she watched as the raven-haired kid walked up to them along with six other people. "Who's the new chick?"

"Oh, Sasuke, she's just some new girl. No one to get all excited over." Ino told.

Okay, what did she just tell him?!

Sasuke walked up to Sakura and smirked. "I'm Sasuke Uchiha, and you are?"

"Oh, um, I'm Sakura."

"Well, Sakura, these people are the rest of my gang. Here we have Sakun and Ukon," He said as he pointed to two guys with grey hair, "and these two are Kidomaru and Jirobo," Sasuke pointed to two other guys, "and then these last two are Kimimaru and Tayuya."

Sakura looked at Sakun and Ukon. Twins . . . great.

"Um, nice to meet everyone." Sakura smiled.

Everyone who stood beside Sasuke nodded. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Sakura-chan." Ukon said.

"Yes, indeed it is." Sakun added.

Sakura giggled at the two guys in front of her. Those two really are something, she smirked to herself.

"Well, Sakura, I guess we should go see Principle Tsunade and get your schedule. You guys comin' with?" Ino asked.

"I guess we will. There ain't anything better to do." Tayuya answered.

Ino nodded as she motioned for everyone to follow her. Sakura hurried up so that she was right next to the blonde girl. Once they entered the building, Sakura started to look around the crowded hallways. "So, how is everything at this school?"

"Personally, I hate school, but I guess it's alright if you stay away from the freaky people." Ino told.

I never would have guessed. Sakura told herself.

"Well, anyway, this is the office. If you go up to the lady at the desk she should be able to get you your schedule."

Sakura nodded as she walked into the office and up to the front desk. "May I help you?"

"Oh, um, I'm Sakura Haruno, and I'm new here . . ."

"Ah, yes, Sakura! This is your schedule," The woman told as she handed her a piece of paper, "and I hope you like it here, Miss Haruno."

"Thank-you."

When Sakura exited the office, Ino immediately grabbed the piece of paper from her hands. She then began to read it out-loud.

1st Hour: Study Hall – Kakashi Hatake

2nd Hour: German – Iruka Umino

3rd Hour: Biology – Orochimaru

4th Hour: English – Jiraiya

LUNCH

Ino smiled as she handed back the paper. "We have most of our classes together!"

Sakura smiled as they started to walk down a hallway. "What's your locker number?"

"Oh, um, number 1140."

Ino nodded as they turned down another hallway. "If I remember correctly, that's a pretty good locker. It's one on the end." Sasuke mentioned.

As they neared Sakura's locker, Ino suddenly stopped. "Or it could be the worst one."

"What do you mean?" Sakura asked.

"Oh, man, you're right next to the freak!" Ukon laughed.

Sakura looked and saw and empty locker, and right next to it, a red-head teen dressed in all black. "It can't be that bad, can it?"

Sakun walked up to her and put a hand on her shoulder. "All I can say is . . . good luck with him."

Well this is my new story! Is it worth continuing? Please tell me :P

R&R!
