A/N: hot take: people give Sakura tons of hate that she does not deserve.

I glared at the back of the pale boy's head, hoping to burn a hole through it.

As it turns out, I ended up carrying his books to the Principles office, where, fortunately, was the place I needed to go in the first place.

But something still didn't make much sense to me.

"Why am I the one carrying your shit?" I huffed, looking over the stack in my hands to see jerkface scowling at me.

"Are you looking for another Detention, blondie?" His tone was venomous.

I frowned, but kept quiet.

After a while, the class president spoke into the silence.

"You're new here, aren't you? I can tell by the way you act that you obviously aren't accustomed to this kind of environment."

Yeah, I'm not accustomed the amount of BULLSHIT you've given me, prez.

We had been walking down the same hallway for five minutes.

He continued as if I cared what he had to say. "I would recommend getting to know this place better, so that you don't bump into people as you so recklessly did me."

He paused. "There are worse enemies you can make, blondie."

Okay, I've officially had it with this jerk.

"Listen here, Mr. Entitled! My name isn't Blondie! It's Naruto Uzumaki! Believe it!" I exclaimed, leaning as close to him as I dared.

Which made it seem more like I was losing my balance; almost dropping the books in my arms.

Those books that were then caught by president bitchface. How lucky.

"I'd advise you don't get so worked up, blondie." He gave me a face like he'd just won the argument. I was speechless in anger.

The president had one hand under mine, supporting the textbooks. Another held my arm as if it would fold under the weight of the stack.

He was maintaining an infuriating eye contact, one that made the blood rush to my cheeks and my vision.

What a JERK!

I yanked the textbooks from him and walked off like I knew where I was going.

Whatever. I don't care where I go, anywhere's better than with this guy.

As luck had it, Tsunade's office was right in front of us at that point.

I didn't bother knocking before I opened the door and dropped the books on the nearest desk I saw. The president walked in coolly behind me.

The woman at the desk jumped back in surprise. "...How may I help you?" She asked me, before spotting pretty boy in the back.

Realization flashed across her face. "Oh, Neji, are these the textbooks I asked for?"

Neji? So that's his name...

"Yes." Neji gave a curt nod. "I had Naruto here carry them here on account of his...behavior."

I turned and gave Neji a dirty look. What behavior? You started it, jerk!

But the lady continued as if she didn't hear Neji's remark.

"My name is Shizune, I am assistant principle as well as the Biology teacher here at Konoha Highschool. I was informed by Tsunade that you'd be arriving today!" She pulled out my student file and examined it.
