"She never realized, that this was where it all began."

Today was supposed to be a normal day, Sakura thought to herself. She should have gone to school, attend classes, and joke around with her friends.
She was supposed to meet Sasuke-Kun now, actually. And was on her way when it happened. Usually, she wouldn't mind the attention(some might say she enjoys it a little too much). But this?
"I, Rock Lee, declare my love for you Sakura-chan! I had always admired your beauty and strength. You are my eternal blossom of youth! WILL YOU GO OUT WITH ME!"
This was just too much for one Tuesday. And Sakura was not in the mood for any of it.
His head met the concrete floor with a loud thud, refusing to meet the pair of eyes staring at him wildly. Gasps and murmurs erupted throughout the hallway as students huddled around their lockers, staring at the scene.
The pinkette blinked, startled, clutching her textbooks closer to her chest. A light red dusting her cheeks, shuffling her feet in embarrassment. She could hear Ino's snickering close by and cleared her throat.
Feeling all the attention suddenly turned to her, she bent down, mindful of her skirt, and patted the upperclassman on his back.
"Uh, Lee-senpai... I'm sorry, but I already have a boyfriend."
She watched as Lee scrambled off the floor and gave her a confused look. His innocent eyes batting at her like a child.
"No?" He furrowed his brows.
"No."
"BUT-"
"No."
Lee rose up, dejected and utterly immune to the giggles and phone cameras flashing subtly at him. Sakura almost felt bad-almost, she was actually about to give her hand. And take him to talk somewhere private, you know, to talk...normally.
But it was Rock Lee. He didn't do normally.
"I WON'T GIVE UP!" He suddenly declared, "I shall pursue your love until the day I die! So long, my eternal blo-oomph!"
A wild, Neji slammed his elbow into the bowl-cut man. The look on his face was pure comedy. He turned around sharply and bowed to her, much to her disapproval.
"Hold up-"
"Apologies, Haruno-san, for my friend. He's just a little exhausted." The words flowed out of his mouth smoothly, cutting her off. Pushing them deeper into the hole that Lee dug. She vaguely remembered that these guys were a year older than her.
These guys are supposedly older than me?
"It's fine," she waved, nervously chuckling. Slowly growing self-conscious with the spectacle they(mostly Lee) made. Chewing her lip she muttered a quick 'thank you' to the Hyuuga and disappeared into the crowd. Her face burning from all the unwanted attention.
Today was a terrible Tuesday.

Ino loved Tuesdays.
Mostly because those were the days she got to see her boyfriend and because it was the only day she didn't have crammed school.
Sakura made her love Tuesdays even more.
Ino burst into a fit of laughter, banging her hands on the table that the group of friends gathered around. Ignoring her scowling friend, who was currently spewing every swear word under the sun.
"Shut up, Ino-Pig!" Sakura grumpily pouted, a dark blush across her features.
"Awe- why are you even blushing?" She cackled.
At that, the pinkette glared, "He did all of that in front of the entire fucking school- I...what was I supposed to do?!"
Hinata giggled softly, "He is... he is rather brave."
Sakura sank further into her seat upon feeling the teasing glances cast her way.
"I wonder what Sasuke-Kun would do if he saw that."
A small smile crept up on the pinkette's face, "He would probably beat him up."
"Didn't he declare that other guy- hmm what was his name?" Riki muttered, snapping her fingers in realization, "Ah Neji, yeah. He declared Neji as his 'eternal rival'."
"Neji?" Ino queried, "that statue of a guy?" Ignoring the Hyuuga beside her.
"He's hella handsome, don't you think?" Rika chirped, twirling a strand of sable hair.
" Oh he's a pretty boy," they all nodded.
Sakura glanced around the cafeteria, frowning as she did so, "Where are the guys?"
"Oh, Sasuke and Naruto ran off somewhere, and Choji and Shikamaru are in line for food." Ino vocalized.
"Oh, I bumped into Shino-san down the hallway, Kiba-san is still suspended," Rika parroted.
"Again? That dog boy is barely in school anyways."
"Tell me about it."
"Naruto-Kun likes to hang around Sasuke a lot..." Hinata murmured thoughtfully.
"Well," Sakura butted in, "they grew up together."
Rika clasped her hands and sent a bright smile, "It seems like I'll be the first to leave."
"I'll... I'll come with you!" Hinata stood up, "I have homework to finish anyways..."
Ino paled, "holy shit! We had homework? Quick-Forehead, lend me your book!"
"It's in my bag."
"All the way in class?!"
