Melting the Human Ice Cube (SasuSaku)

Chapter 1

Haruno Sakura was driving to her new boarding school with her mom. The air was crisp, the sky, blue, and the sun shining in all of its glory in Konoha, where she had just moved to a week ago. The weather was usually like this, save for the rainy season they had during the summer time every year.

Sakura's features were very unique. She had pink, silky hair that stood out anywhere, green, emerald eyes that shone all the time and a very cheery personality. Anybody would say that she is beautiful, mature young lady.

It was the first time she would be away from home for a whole school year and was both excited and nervous. When they reached the school, there was a huge sign that said "Konoha Boarding Academy." The main building was huge, two more buildings on either side of it for classes and the offices of the teachers. In the distance, you could see all the dorm room buildings, where the students' residences were, scattered around a huge green grass area. Beyond that, Sakura couldn't see but she knew the sports courts (like tennis and basketball) were there, as long as other things. She had done her research on this place.

Both her and her mom got out of their limo and took all of her luggage to the front of the building. Entering the huge main bulding and going to the Principal's Office, Sakura got her schedule, map and dorm number and key. Classes officially started 3 days from now, but Sakura wanted to get here early so she could unpack and get familiar with the school, as it was huge and she had never been here before.

Sakura had decided to come to this boarding academy because her parents, being big business owners, traveled a lot for meetings in different countries, were almost never home. Sakura decided that it would be easier if she stayed here than staying alone (despite the many maids/servants) or moving schools every 2 months.

Sakura's mom followed to her dorm room, helping her with all of her luggage as there was a lot. When they reached Sakura's new home, room 205, Sakura told her mother that she could handle it from there.

"You have to call at least every once in two or three days. If you any problems, know that I will be there for you, call whenever you want," her mom stated, tearing up a little.

"You know I will, Mom. And don't cry. It hurts me to see that, you know that. I love you so much," Sakura said, hugging her mother.

"I love you too, sweetheart. Take care of yourself," she said, hugging back.

Sakura nodded and once her mother had left, opened the dorm room and hauled her things in. She was having trouble and when she walked in, her foot got twisted in her backpack handle and losing her footing, she fell, on her face.

"Owww," she moaned.

She got up from the floor and balanced herself on her knees, rubbing her bruised nose. She saw a shadow on the ground in front of her and when she looked up, she was met with someone who had dark, onyx eyes and raven hair. He was rather cute, she thought, but then Sakura realized that he hadn't offered to help her up. Jerk.

Once Sakura got up and recollected herself, she stuck out her hand and said, "Hi! I'm Haruno Sakura."

He just looked at her, then her hand and walked away. Ugh, he really is a jerk. So much for hoping that I had a nice roommate. And why is he a guy? Shouldn't I be rooming with a girl?

She frowned at his back and said, "Okay then." Sakura controlled her temper, which was quite uncontrollable when she got mad. "Which room is yours?" she asked, not in so much of a polite voice as before.

He turned back towards her slightly and raised his eyebrows. She can actually talk to me without flustering or falling all over herself to get to know me? Wow. And talks back to me. Interesting...he smirked.
