Everyone is in high school...around 16-17...

Ordinary or Not

Sakura's an ordinary, beautiful, and happy girl. She has friends, and does great in school. She's known to be a smartass at times, always proving the teachers wrong on one thing or another. Sakura had her best friend Hinata, who was very shy, with low self-confidence. But with Sakura as a friend, she has been finding herself being more bold and outgoing, if not alittle. Sakura also had an enemy as well. Her name, Ino. They use to be friends, but once a boy Sasuke U., who was one of the hottest boys at their school came along. Sakura and Ino started to have a crush on him. Thats where they both grew to hate each other, because they both wanted the same boy. Their friendship ended there and thats where the betrayal came in.

But besides that Sakura had a great life. Her other friends were Naruto, Lee, Tenten, Neji, Shikamaru, and somewhat Sasuke as well. She lived in a small two story house with her parents. They were never around though, always on a business trip of some sort. It never bother her only because she had her friends (the girls) over half the time. Sakura had anger problems she was sometimes called, bi-polar Sakura who would just turn from good to bad in an instant. Kid's in school believed that she had a twisted personality as in she had a split personality, like there was two of her inside her large forehead.

Which is a bit true too. Sakura gets good grades and everything a smart, good girl can get, but Sasuke...

Sakura woke up to her alarm. She was instantly awake once it went off the first time. She could always get up in the morning unlike most of her friends who's parents usually came in to wake them up. Sakura was out of her bed making it to perfection. Once done, she went to the bathroom where she looked at her bed, head hair. Her beautiful pink hair was spiraled around her head in such a great mess. She growled. Annoyed that her hair was always like this no matter what she did. Her hair wasn't that long, only shoulder length. Yet, some how it always finds a way to get curly and messed up.

Sakura just turned on her straighter and went to brush her teeth. She pulled out her tooth paste and tooth brush. She started to brush her white teeth. Like always she was a perfectionist, always had to have the perfect everything. That's why she had to have Sasuke as her boyfriend. He's the perfect boy at her school who every girl wants but are too out of their league to get him. All but her, and Ino who constantly fight over him. Sakura sighed and spit out the tooth paste. She rinsed out the tooth brush and the sink. She then walked back to her room to get changed.

She changed into a pair of blue Capri's and a dark pink top that brought out her eyes and hair nicely. She always had a knack for picking out the right clothes and everything. Sakura ran back to her bathroom and started to straighten her curly hair. In a matter of 20 minutes her hair was perfectly straight. She smiled at her reflection. Sakura was soon down stairs in the kitchen getting out cereal for a quick breakfast. She munched down Coca Pebbles in a rush seeing as she only had 5 minutes to meet Naruto and Hinata. She walked with them to school in the morning. Naruto went to Hinata's to pick her up then they would walk half way to Sakura's house and wait for her to meet them.

Sakura quickly put the bowl away and grabbed her bookbag. She was then out the door that was locked and walking down the porch steps. She looked over to her neighbors house to see that the 'For Sale' sign was gone. 'Mmm...I guess someone decided to buy the house. I wonder if there are any teens my age living there?' Sakura thought to herself while walking down the street to the corner where she would meet Hinata and Naruto.

Hinata and Naruto were waiting for Sakura around the corner. Naruto was just standing there with his bookbag at hand while his eyes were in slits. Hinata looked nervous as always. She just stood there taking quick glances at Naruto. She had a huge crush on him but could never tell him about it. Before in middle school Naruto had a huge crush on Sakura but once hitting high school it faded into friendship. Sakura tried everything to get Hinata to at least speak to him normally, yet the poor shy girl could only look away, blush, and strutted when it came to Naruto. Sakura told her once that it was like a phobia. Though she meant it as a joke Hinata kind of felt that she was right.

Hinata looked over to Naruto who was standing the same way. She looked down and thought about what to say. Once she thought it up, she was about to speak when Naruto spoke first.

"Man, what's taking Sakura so long?" He said while yawning. Hinata looked down again.

"Well...maybe s-she woke up late." She said while looking back up to see Naruto looking at her. Hinata instantly started to blush and looked away. Naruto cocked his head and smiled. He didn't know why but Hinata would always make him smile with her shy ways. Yet, he never knew why she was so shy around him. Naruto just shrugged.

"Hey guys!" They both turned to see Sakura running their way. Naruto smiled bigger, he didn't eat breakfast this morning unfortunately so he wanted to get to school and get breakfast there before it was gone.

"Hey Sakura! What took ya so long! I wanna get to school!" Naruto shouted back as Sakura made her way to them. Once Sakura got there she gave Naruto a weird look.

"Why do you wanna get to school so fast anyway. I thought you hated school." she said and looked to Hinata who smiled at her.

"I didn't get to eat this morning so we need to get to school before the breakfast is gone!" Naruto explained in a rush and started walking fast the other way to school. Sakura laughed and walked along with Hinata.

"So did you talk to Naruto at all?" Sakura looked at the shorter girl walking beside her. Hinata blushed at the his name and shook her head, no.

"I was gonna but he said something first. Then you came. I'll try next time, I'm sorry." Hinata smiled weakly to Sakura who shook her head.

"Don't be sorry Hinata. Just try again next time alright?" Sakura smiled brightly and Hinata nodded.

"Hey come on guys! I need my food now!" Naruto shouted as he was a couple blocks a head of the girls. Sakura glared at him.

"Just hold on Naruto! It's not like anyone is gonna eat it all before you get there!" she shouted back at him.

"Yeah there is! Do you see how much Chouji eats in one day! If we don't hurry I won't get to eat till lunch!" Naruto said in a panic. He was right though, Chouji ate a lot for a teenager. Sakura was surprised that he could fit through a door way without getting stuck. She then shook her head. That was such a mean thing to think about.

"Come on Sakura. We do want Naruto to eat, right?" Hinata said as she got herself ready to run with Naruto. Sakura then shrugged and nodded her head.

"Lets go then." With that said they both started running up to Naruto who was jogging so they could catch up with him...

Naruto, Sakura, and Hinata were now at school walking to the lunchroom that was still serving breakfast. Naruto ran up to the line getting ready to eat. He was pretty glad that he got there before Chouji did. Sakura and Hinata walked over to a table that had Tenten, Neji, and Lee. Lee was eating as well as Neji while Tenten was apparently working on homework that was due today.

"Hey guys! How was your morning?" Sakura said while sitting across from Tenten as Hinata sat across from Lee. Lee looked up and smiled bright.

"I am just doing fine this fair morning. What about you Sakura?" Lee said in a polite matter.

"Doing okay as well Lee." Sakura looked over to Tenten who was doing math homework it seemed.

"Didn't do your math homework last night Tenten?" Tenten looked up to Sakura and nodded.

"Didn't have time. I just got back from basketball practice and needed my sleep. Hey do you know what the answer is to number 19?" Sakura smiled and started to help Tenten finish her homework. Naruto was now walking to the table to eat his breakfast when he almost bumped into someone. He looked up to see that it was Sasuke who was walking out of the lunchroom.

"Hey watch where your going Sasuke!" Naruto yelled to the Uchiha while starting to yet again make it to the table. Sasuke muttered an 'idiot' and left. Naruto growled under his breath and sat down next to Hinata and across from Neji. He then instantly started digging into his food. Neji gave a disgusted look but went back to his eating.

Hinata looked at Neji but quickly averted her eyes to Naruto who's face was stuffed with food. She giggled at him.

"Hey what's so funny?" Naruto said with his mouth full.

"Now, now Naruto. You shouldn't talk with your mouth full." Lee said with a serious look.

"Plus it's plain disgusting." Neji interjected too. Naruto glared at him and swallowed his food.

"Whatever. It's how I eat, I don't complain about the way you guys eat now do I?" He questioned. Neji rolled his eyes.

"Only because we don't eat like you." Neji said and smirked when Naruto growled. Hinata looked more nervous. She didn't like her cousin and crush fighting, it never ended very well.

"Please you two. We don't need a fight now of all places." Lee said putting a hand in front of the both of them. Neji just glared more and got up. He then walked out of the lunchroom without saying anything. Lee sighed, it always ended that way too.

Everyone was now walking to their first period class. English, with who else. Kakashi the most perverted teacher to exist in their school. He had it pretty good with the principal otherwise he wouldn't be a teacher. He didn't do much only read a very perverted book by a equally perverted author. Even though he did that, Kakashi was one of the best teachers as well. Every student he ever had passed his course with at least an A-B grade at the end of the year.

Naruto stayed near the door waiting for Kiba his partner in crime. They would always pull a prank on Kakashi. Only because he was always late to their class, wasn't the teacher suppose to be in class 5 minutes before the bell rang? Not Kakashi is was usually 5 minutes after the bell which gave anyone enough time to get their homework done or project. Sakura walked in the back near the window. Hinata sat in front of her as Naruto sat aside her. No one sat next to Sakura, the seat was empty during half the year. There were about 30 students in the class yet there was still another seat.

Tenten sat next to Lee in the front and Neji was seated in the middle. Everyone was in their seats waiting for the teacher. Naruto and Kiba who finally showed up were preparing their daily pranks. Shino was sitting on his desk reading a book on bugs. Shikamaru was head first into his desk asleep as always. He really needed to sleep earlier.

Sakura sat there looking out the window. The day was gloomy but Sakura loved those days. The sky in her view was very pretty when gray. She then turned to see that Naruto and Kiba were racing to their seats. Looks like Kakashi was coming to class early today. It seemed strange to everyone but there's a first time for everything right? Naruto and Kiba held their breath as everyone heard foot steps making their way towards the class. Sakura looked up at the door that had an old, dusty eraser on top that would fall and land on Kakashi's head when he came in. Too bad it wasn't Kakashi.

Instead it happened to be none other than the principal herself, Tsunade. Naruto and Kiba's faces were in horror at the sight. Tsunade walked in and the eraser landed flat on her head and fell to the ground. It left a rectangle white mark on her blonde hair. She frowned for a sec then exploded.

"Who are the little assholes that pulled off this prank?" she shouted to the top of her lungs. Naruto shook in fear as Kiba gulped. Sakura thought to herself. 'Nice knowing ya boys.' Tsunade looked at everyones faces. She then smirked and walked in fully while putting up a hand indicating someone outside to not come in yet. She then walked over near Naruto and Kiba.

"I wonder who would have the kind of minds that could concoct this little prank?" She gave a sharp glance to Naruto but looked away quickly.

"Who are the ones who always pull pranks and work so good together when doing them?" She gave Kiba a sharp glance as well.

"I guess no one is gonna speak up, right?" No one said anything in fear that she might think it was them who did it. She then shrugged and walked to the door seeing that Kakashi was now standing near the door frame. She whispered something to him and pointed to someone outside then was about to walk out of the room. She was half way there when she then said.

"Oh by the way. Naruto and Kiba please report to my office once class is over. Thank you." Tsunade was then gone. Naruto and Kiba's faces were white like they had just seen a ghost or the dead come to life.

"Well that was interesting." Kakashi mutter to himself then smiled to the class.

"Well class we have as it seems a new student in our class. Please welcome Gaara...well he doesn't have a last name on here?" Kakashi looked at the paper while a boy with blood red hair, eyelinered eyes, a Japanese love symbol on his forehead and in goth looking clothes. Some students were intimidated by his appearance others just shrugged him off thinking he wasn't so tough, mainly Naruto.

"Gaara what is your last name?" Kakashi then asked as he did not find it on the paper.

"Wouldn't you like to know." Gaara said with an angry frown. Kakashi shrugged like he really cared anyway.

"Okay then. Why don't you sit in the empty seat next to Sakura." He then pointed her. Sakura looked up to see why her name was called. She zoned out once Kakashi said new student. She didn't really care who it was as long as class could get started. Sakura looked at the boy who was making his way to her. She instantly had an expression of fear go across her face but disappear just as fast. Gaara smirked seeing that and took his seat aside her.

"Now lets get this class started shall we. If you did your homework pass it up from your rolls to the person in front then they pass them and so on." Kakashi said while taking a seat and looking over his student role sheet. Sakura pulled out her homework and passed it to Hinata. Sakura wasn't very comfortable with Gaara right next to her. Their desk sat two people at once and very close together as well. She glanced at Gaara who was staring at her. Sakura frowned.

"What are you staring at?" Sakura said in a whisper. Gaara shrugged.

"I don't know, I still haven't figured it out yet?" Gaara smirked as Sakura glared at him. Who the hell did he think he was? 'He's such an asshole!' shouted her inner self. Most students were right, Sakura did have a split personality. She then looked away from him. Gaara laughed to himself, he would definitely like picking on this girl.

Through out the rest of class was normal English things. Sakura and maybe a third of the class actually stayed up for the hole thing. She was surprised that Naruto stayed up but then again he was probably scared to death of what Tsunade would do to him and Kiba when they go to her office. Sakura started packing up as in 5 minutes the bell was to ring. She bent over to put her binder in her bookbag when she felt someones fingers lightly go up her back. She shivered and turned to Gaara who was looking the other way, in an innocent way. Yeah right like he could actually do innocent.

She glared at him. Sakura then turned back to what she was doing. Then she felt his fingers lightly go back down her back, she shivered again and grew even more angry. Sakura then quickly turned around to see Gaara smirking at her.

"Can you please stop that. It's annoying and inappropriate." Sakura growled out with an angry glare. Gaara shrugged.

"I have no idea of what your talking about." Sakura frown deepen more.

"You know you shouldn't frown. It makes your large forehead even more distracting than it already is." Sakura's jaw dropped hearing that. 'What the hell did he just say!' Gaara would have laughed out loud but he wasn't much of the type to do that. Right at that moment the bell rang for first period to be over.

"See ya later, fat head." Gaara said and walked out of class while students ran out of his way.

"That asshole. Who does he think he is anyway!" Sakura stomped out of the room in anger as Hinata followed behind. Everyone yet again dodged out of her way as well. An angry Sakura is a scary Sakura.

Sakura made it through 2nd, 3rd, and 4th without having an encounter with Gaara thank god. She was now making it slowly to lunch to meet her friends. She was the only one who had advance math with the 11th graders. In that class she had another new student by the name Temari. She was pretty cool, nice, and very smart as well. Sakura was happy to know that she could actually have an intelligent conversation with not only Shikamaru but her as well. Sakura was now opening the lunchroom doors and walking to the same table that had Kiba, Naruto, Shino, Shikamaru, Lee, Tenten, and Hinata sitting.

Naruto and Kiba looked like they went through hell. Sakura gave a small smile to them and sat next to Lee.

"So what did Tsunade say to you guys?" She bothered to ask even though their faces were enough to tell her everything. Kiba spoke first.

"We both have after school detention for a whole month." He frowned and banged his head against the table. Naruto then added.

"Plus we have to clean all the chalkboards for a whole month too for every room on the first floor. I think we both died and went straight to hell." Naruto wined and started eating some food.

"Well I'm gonna get some food okay guys." Sakura said and got up to the line. She didn't like the fact that the line was always squished. She then felt someone's chest up against her back. Sakura didn't move at all. 'Who the hell is that?' she thought without turning her head.

"Hello, fat head." she heard him say right next to her ear. His warm breath blowing her hair. Sakura turned her head to see Gaara standing their looking straight a head then look down to her. He smirked and she frowned.

"Now, now what did I say about frowning fat head." Sakura growled.

"Why don't you leave me alone Gaara. I didn't even do anything to you." she said turning to face her front. Gaara then placed his hands on her hips which sent shivers down her back.

"I know that, but its just too damn fun fucking with you." he whispered in her ear. The instant the line moved she moved out of his grip up to the person in front of her, it happened to be Ino. Sakura accidentally bumped into her which caused her to turn around.

"What the hell was that for! Watch where your going forehead girl!" Ino yelled at her in a harsh matter. Sakura could feel Gaara smirking at her right then.

"Forehead girl eh? I think fat head fits her better." Gaara suggested to her worst enemy ever. Ino smiled wide.

"Nice name. Mind if I use it for now on?" Ino asked while giving Sakura a devilish look.

"Use it as much as you want. The more the merrier." Gaara said to Sakura's horror.

"What?" Sakura yelled in complete horror.

"Don't be so loud fat head, were standing right next to you." Ino said smiling even more. Sakura flat out left the lunch line forgetting that she was hungry and ran to the table. It seemed that she did yell pretty loud for everyone there was alarmed by her out cry.

"What's wrong fair Sakura?" Lee said in concern. The others nodded with curious faces.

"You know our new student Gaara. Man, he calls me fat head and now Ino is starting to call me that! Argghhh...why did this have to happen to me?" Sakura said with her head on the table. Hinata put her hand on her shoulder in a comforting way though it didn't do much.

"Don't worry Sakura. If Ino bothers you with it, we'll just gang up on her." Naruto said and everyone gave him a look. "What? It was just a suggestion jeez...party poopers." Naruto then started to eat again.

"What am I gonna do now? Its bad enough for Ino to pick on me for my forehead but now she has an even better name to call me." Sakura wined. Neji just rolled his eyes. Tenten looked down, she was thinking of something to tell her.

"Maybe...I don't know you could ask them to leave you alone. You could say that you'll have them ganged up on." Tenten suggested. Though she knew it would never happen, it was better then not trying. Sakura gave her a disbelieving look.

"I don't believe that is such a good idea Tenten. But thanks for trying at least." Sakura said and smiled to her. It seemed her life was just getting worst by the minute...
