OOC: [before I post, are they still shinobi, or just high school kids?]

OOC: Good that you mention it, they are just normal high school teenagers!

Yanagi had to dodge a girl suddenly. He didn't know her either. "N-no worries..?" He half said, half questioned as she ignored him and continued on her way. He didn't know her either. "Who are all these people?" He asked no one in particular as he watched the popular girls giggle and talk amongst each other. He realized Gaara was no longer at his side, and looked around to see where he went. The Sand District student was approaching the group of girls, his tiny smile was gone and replaced by his usual, unreadable expression.

Gaara approached the group, specifically Zara with an almost creepy, emotionless gaze. "Hello." He said, "Are you new here?"

His voice was airy with a mid-baritone pitch, and his inflection reflected intrigue in the girl. "That guy has no regard for the clicks here, does he?" Yanagi said, again to no one in particular. "I'm just gonna go to class, forget all this." He said, heading into the building to change from his hightop DC shoes to the school leathers.

Gaara was taken by the girl with Rose pink hair. She was beautiful, and he didn't understand why. He had never been attracted to anyone before. He was focused on his studies and not much else. Being a son of an abusive father and a dead mother had numbed his emotion for a long time until Naruto had made him realize he wasn't alone anymore over the summer. Now he was experiencing new things all the time, like this crush he was forming on a new girl. He patiently awaited his answer, thinking to himself that it was foolish to even bother. She would likely shun him like most students did.

As Lee made his way to school with Gaara and Yanagi, he was completely lost in his own thoughts. He was wearing the schools standard monotone blue track suit. The only other color on it was a white stripe down either side of the jacket and pants. The thing that was distracting him was the impending tryouts for the school soccer team. An up and coming soccer star, he had full confidence that he would make the team, but making it wasn't good enough for him. He wanted to make the Varsity team his freshman year.

When he finally escaped the confines of his own mind, he looked around to see that Yanagi had left and Gaara was talking with a group of girls. When he glanced over, he saw Sakura out of the corner of his eye. He had always had a crush on her, but over summer she had grown even more gorgeous than before. 'Alright!' he said to himself. 'This year I'll make her notice me by making the Varsity team!' With thoughts of the new year on his mind, he raced after Yanagi so that they could go to class together. Truthfully, he had no clue where it was.

OOC: I should be able to see fine now and will try to stay caught up haha, you guys are pretty quick at this :P

She waved her hand in the air as soon as she saw that Zara and Sakura had noticed that she was making her way over, and lightly jogged the rest of the way to her friends. Once Asuka arrived at the bench the two girls were sitting at she was met with hugs and squeals of joy, which she was happy enough to return with hugs and squeals of her own. She smiled brightly at the pink haired girls and lightly teased them. "It'll definitely be a great year if the boys are as cute as I hope they are." Asuka winked. She was quite a flirt but rarely took boys seriously enough to go further than that and was quite happy to live vicariously through the love life of her beautiful friends. In fact, she had already noticed the passing glance that some boy had given Sakura, and wondered if she had noticed too.

Her attention was soon turned away from her friends when she noticed a red haired boy come up to their spot of the courtyard and address only Zara. She had to cover her mouth to fight hard when holding back the laugh that threatened to escape her lips. Yeah, if she had to be honest, the kid was pretty cute but he didn't seem to be Zara's type; Zara was so bubbly and he seemed to be the exact opposite. Maybe opposites attract, wondered Asuka.

, & OOC: I grab Naruto to play as well, and Gluttony take the role to play as Sasuke! So everyone knows! ;D PrimalOrigins Welcome back! Yeah, i really like that we're active here! ;D

While Zara, Asuka and Sakura hugged, & were talking to each other about girly things a boy had walked up to them. He asked Zara in particular if she was new around here, she twinned a lock of her rose pink hair around her finger, and eyed the boy who had just walked up to her group.

Sakura raised her eyebrow and her eyes lend to Zara, then to Gaara, then to Zara. She wasn't used to see Gaara so talk active before, it was something new.

"Yeah, i moved here this spring actually. Name is Zara Hinamori." Zara responds, "But call me Zara." She spoke with a smile. "You're Gaara, right?" She said, Sakura told her before who was who, and Zara was glad to make new friends.

"This is Asuka and Sakura. My lovely friends." Zara introduced her friends while she wrap her arms around the girls shoulders, so she stood in the middle of Asuka and Sakura. Then suddenly two male voices was heard, it grabbed Zara's attention while she turns her head from the conversation, over to see where the voices was coming from. Zara, Asuka and Sakura knew who they belonged to. Zara was sure that Asuka and Sakura, could hear her heartbeat pumping loader.

"Konoha High! Here we come!" The blonde male spoke aloud, while he reached his fisted hand up in the air and didn't care if people were looking at their direction. "I will be the most remembered student on this school!" The male with spiky blonde hair spoke to his raven haired friend, who walks beside him.

The whiskers on his cheeks and the smile were wide. "Belive it!" When he looks over to the couryard he sees the popular girls three of them, and Gaara was with them. Naruto suddenly felt querios what brings him to the girls.

"Bro, do you see who i see?" Naruto ask his raven haired friend and his eyes lend on Asuka, Zara & Sakura. He know he had a crush on Sakura since he was little, but after this summer when he talked to her over a party, and told her his feelings for her.

She told him to move on, and find the right girl for him. She did give him a small hint, that there was someone who liked him more then a friend. But, Naruto couldn't really believe that a girl would like someone like him.

Naruto's blue eyes went to the girl with the white and long beautiful hair. He admitted to himself, that she is a gorgeous girl, even much prettier then Sakura. The boy felt himself blush of thinking that out load. But, during the summer he and his friend here, had both got to know Asuka and Zara much better under parties and during the days they have meet each other. He really would like to get to know her more.

Sasuke He was pleasantly amused by his friends excited outburst and his happiness really was contagious, but it was too damn early for this. In all honesty, he was also a little embarrassed. "Do you have to be so loud, Naruto?" Sasuke scowled, almost regretting his decision to walk to school with him, but he knew Naruto wouldn't shut up about it if he had left him behind.

Sasuke loosened the navy tie around his neck as the blonde haired boy noticed the girls they had come to know over the last several months. In truth, he had known Sakura for most of his life- although he had only just now begun paying attention to her-, but the other two girls, Zara and Asuka, he had only met recently. He smirked thinking of the summer months and looked over to see Naruto blush when looking at Asuka, The fool... He approved of Naruto's affection for Asuka, even though he couldn't gauge her feelings for him, especially because he knew that Sakura would never feel the way Naruto had felt about her. At least with Asuka he'll have a chance.

He himself had been eyeing Zara for the last few months and more so the last several weeks since he found out they would be going to the new school together. Sasuke couldn't get much of a read on Zara; who was nothing like Sakura in the way she showed affection. He quite appreciated her subtleness, it was a nice change.

And he was quite a sucker for pink hair.

As soon as the two boys reached the girls he noticed Gaara and put his arm around his shoulders. He knew the boy would probably not enjoy his touch but he was in a daring mood and quickly erupted in a small smile.

Asuka "Heeellooooooo boys!" Asuka said wiggling her fingers at the newcomers, dragging her attention away from Gaara and resting her head on Zara's shoulder for a moment. She had suddenly become quite giddy at seeing Naruto again, Cool it girlfriend! Her feelings for him weren't particularly strong and often times she wondered why she even felt anything at all for the goofball, but he really was quite adorable. They had met several months before and had done nothing more than harmlessly flirt.

Asuka knew that he had been after Sakura for the longest time, and it was something that still bugged her a bit. She wouldn't make any sort of move until she knew he was completely over the pink haired girl.

She was no one's second choice; In fact, the white haired girl was more than happy to wait and play match maker with her friends.

Entering the building he could see the lockers lined up. He spotted Yanagi changing out of his shoes and chose a locker next to his so he could throw his change of clothes for later into it. Closing the locker he turned to Yanagi. "So where's our classroom at? I kinda forgot." Scratching the back of his head, he gave a wide grin. He gave a strong slap to Yanagi's back encouraging him to smile along with him.

"Come on! Let's go to class with haste, learning is the key to future success." A quote he took from the teachings of his old coach Might Guy, who also happened to be a P.E teacher at the school.

"By the way, you should come to the soccer tryouts as well, I have an extra uniform in my bag of you want to. Who knows, maybe we can both make the Varsity team." He gave his friend a hopeful glance, just maybe they would make the team together.

, &

”Heello girls!” Naruto smiled to the three girls, but his eyes was on Asuka. "Hey man, what's up?" He give a fist pump to Gaaras shoulder, like Naruto himself often do to his friends.

Zara felt a flutter of electricity that ran through her body, with a warm fuzzy feeling. When she saw him. Zara was very curious to find out more about those feelings.

She still have her arms around the girls shoulders, "What's up?" a smirk forms up on her lips, and she eyed the blonde and raven haired boy.

"It's alright with us!" Naruto replied to Zara, with a smile on his face. Then the blonde turned his gaze over to his old friend, Gaara. Who stood next to him and Sasuke, who had wrapped his arm around his shoulder.

"Where are Lee, Yanagi and the others?" He ask out of the blue, "Are they already here?" The blonde boy scratched the back of his neck, while he looked around himself, only to see people he didn't really recognize.

"What was you guys talking about? Before we interrupted.” Naruto eyed Gaara then Asuka, Zara and Sakura.

Sakura raised her eyebrow. "Why would you be interrupting? You didn't.” She rest her free hand on her hip, ”We just introduced ourselves.” She smiled to the blonde, and had her arm around Zara's waist. Naruto returned a smile and nodded.

"Phew, good then!" He laughed, then when he thought about it. He didnt feel this fuzzy feeling like he always got before when he met Sakura. He didnt feel anything, and Sakura seemed not to be obsessed over Sasuke anymore. He wondered what had happened, or if Sakura had moved on as well. The blonde didnt know.

However, Naruto felt a warm feeling from his tummy when he got eye contact with Asuka, here and there. The summer had been hot, with a lot of sweet compliments from the two. He have been thinking a lot about the days the two have shared together, during the summer. He couldn't stop, but look into her brown eyes. "Beautiful. Gaah! Stop stare at her, or she will think you're a weirdo!" He thought and shook his head from beginning to blush again.

Sakura had herself moved on, she had lost interest in the Uchiha boy, and are since summer focusing on people she haven't met before. She want to have fun and to be single. Living a lush life, she won't however stop to flirt with someone she sees interest in. After that Sasuke had showed her under the years, that he dont have any feelings for her, she had stopped to interrupt him with fangirling, and she will let him have his life. He is after all a human being like everyone else.

”So what do you guys think about the summer?” Zara spoke. ”This summer most have been the best summer i have experienced. ” She didn't think before when she have said it out load, her cheeks turned a little reddish. When she thought back at the summer this year, it really have given her friends, she even got a crush and new connections. She are very happy that her mother dicided to move to the Leaf.

"Yeah right, and Kakashi Sensei isn't giving homework on the first day." Yanagi replied to his enthusiastic friend. He had no intent on joining a sports team.

He finished changing shoes and gathered his books which he wrapped in a leather strap that he threw over his shoulder. "Let's go Lee, I want to be early so I can thank Kakashi for my summer tutoring." He said, laughing off Lee's request. He knew the guy wouldn't give up on him, but he had fun watching him try. "Tell you what, give me a good reason and I'll consider it." He said with a smirk.

Before he could reply to Zara, there was an arm around his shoulders. He eyed Sasuke with makeup-darkened, yet bright colored eyes. He found the behavior to be rude, but didn't really care enough to object. He had no reaction to Sasuke other than to fold his arms across his chest, as was his trademark mannerism. "They went inside." He answered simply. He had been with the self-proclaimed 'Wolf Pack' all summer. Every party, trip, and even some of Yanagi's lessons, Gaara was there, but rarely did he do much. He just wanted away from his father who looked at him like he was some kind of monster.

He could tell Zara had all but forgotten him. It was clear her interest lay elsewhere. The way her eyes lit up when Sasuke arrived told the desert-dweller everything. That being the case, he shifted his focus elsewhere, feeling rejected. He gazed out to the side at the other students who were really bustling now. It was getting close to the start of the school day.

OOC: no one is playing Hinata? ;-;

ooc: I'm pretty sure no one's grabbed her character yet!

He felt Gaara tense underneath his arm and watched as he crossed his arm across his chest in silent protest. Sasuke laughed at this and release his grip on the unreadable boy only to smack him on the back and answer Zara, "It was pretty great, I had no regrets." He looked into her eyes and gave the beauty a sly smirk.

Asuka giggled at Sasuke's treatment of Gaara but could feel heat spreading across her face when she noticed Naruto staring at her and looked away when she said, "It was most definitely a summer to remember, especially for you Sasuke." The pale girl teased her friend. She had definitely noticed Zara and his closeness and knew that her friend was interested in him. But Sasuke was unreadable to her. When she thought about it, she missed the easy days that were typical during the break and the good times their little group often had. Asuka had gotten to know Sasuke and Naruto well, and couldn't imagine her life without the girls.

Ugh, why did school have to start? This thought brought her back to reality and had her checking the time on her phone. She was startled once she realized that there were only a few minutes until class started. Had we really been out here talking for so long? She jumped off the bench and started walking towards the doors, pausing to look back at her friends. "Maybe we should get going inside, we shouldn't all be late on the very first day."

Sasuke checked his own watch to be sure of the time, only to agree with her. "We should definitely get going and meet up with the other guys."

, & OOC: I add the teachers here in this post. If anyone do want to play as a teacher, let me know! :)

Naruto listened when Gaara told the others had already went inside. The blonde boy could also feel the tense coming from the red haired boy. Naruto could figure out there was something which bugged his friends mind, maybe he wanted to talk about it later. The blonde then gazed over at the school building, thinking it might be time to go inside. "Alright, we will catch up with them soon."

Zara herself didn't know that Gaara had a crush on her. Which her two friends had already figured out, that he liked her. Even if Zara didn't return those feelings for him, she could see that Gaara's expression changed when Sasuke and Naruto had arrived. She didn't know if it only were his personality, or if it were the case he and Sasuke are not particular good friends.

Then Sasuke had lend his eyes on her, and answered.

She couldn't but smile, when Sasuke said he didn't regret this summer. Now she git the hínts from him, that he didn't regret the time the two of them had, by getting to knew each other. Of course didn't she regret anything either. The rose pink haired girl, remember the first day when she first met Sasuke which was during a party on a rooftop. She was together with Asuka and Sakura, it was an hot summer night, they had a barbecue and everyone had a great time together. From that night, she just couldn't take her mind off him and the summer has just begun.

When she thought back she wanted to replay the summer, over and over again. "Neither do I." Zara said with a small sweet smile.

When Asuka teased Sasuke a little, Zara giggled. She then looked over at the blonde, who rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly and smiled. Zara understood that something was going on between her bestie and the blonde boy. She know that Naruto was a great guy, and the right one for Asuka. "It was the best summer." Naruto add and give Asuka a smile.

Then she had mentioned about the time, they all checked their watches or cellphones. "The time always flows away when you are enjoying it." Zara spoke with a sly smile, while she placed her cellphone back in her bag."Yeah, it really does." Naruto couldn't but agree.

Then Asuka had walked up from the bench and was ready to go. "Yes you're right, c'mon guys!" Naruto responds, nodding to Sasuke and the girls. He walks over to Asuka, who lead the group inside. Naruto walks by her side with Gaara on his left, behind them was Sakura, who took selfies with her cellphone and posted it on social media. "Hashtag, First school day, my cherry's!" She spoke with a laugh, behind was Sasuke and Zara.

The group walks inside to the long hall, where the lockers was lined up and the teens changed their shoes, before they made their way up the stairs to the second floor. Here it was bright, with glass windows that let in plenty of light, here is the teachers area, also the chemistry class room and the large assembly hall. Where students had already gathered up even the principal over the school, and all the teachers.

”Hello and welcome to Konoah High everyone!” A lady with long blonde hair who is the principal spoke aload in the microphone. She and the teachers stood on a small stage, which they had builded up for this day, which is placed in the middle of the room and the students stood around it.

”My name Tsunade, and i am the principal for this school.” She begun and people were now silnce to let her speak. ”This day wont be long! But, we would like you all to look around the school, and get to know your class. The teachers will be here if you have any questions.” Tsunade said and the teachers, introduced them one by one, to everyone.

A man with dark greyish hair walks up to the microphone. "Hello kids, i am Kakashi, and your chemistry teacher." Kakashi begun and waved to the mass of students.

Next was a man with black long hair, tied in a lose pony tail the oldest son from the Uchiha family. "My name is Itachi, i will teach you in math." He said while some group of random teenage girls began to fangirling, when they saw him. Then the next teacher was up.

"I'm Iruka your English teacher." He spoke, "I will see you in class!" Iruka leaved for the next teacher to speak.

"Hello children!" A new man spoke and reached his arms our and looked over the crew of teens. "I'm Guy, and i will learn you how to self-defense and some karate!" The man spoke and did some karate moves, the whole crew of students burst out in laughter. "Look foward meeting you all in Physical education." He leaved and a woman walks up with black shoulder lenght hair.

"Maybe i should learn a little about self-defense myself." The lady chuckled. "I am Kurenai, your history teacher, i look so much forward to meet you all!" The next woman was the home exomonics, named Shizune and another woman who is the school nurse.

Then they showed a powerpoint intro over the school, told some jokes and made the students laugh.

if teachers are up for grabs, I'd like to call dibs on Kakashi, and I think should take Gai

OOC: I can definitely take over Guy

OOC: & Great you guys! The two teachers are yours to play! (;

ooc// actually, I'd also like to pick up another original character if you don't mind 😊 and sorry I've been absent (and that this is a bit short) I was away for the weekend and only just got back!

Asuka was quite content to be sitting next to Naruto for the introductory portion of the day, even if it was quite boring. "Do you know if we start actual class today or not?" She whispered to him. The girl had assumed they would be starting classes immediately but that didn't seem to be the case. Out of sheer impatience she hissed at the rest of her friends, who were conveniently sitting in the same row, and repeated the question. Sasuke locked eyes with her from his seat next to Zara and merely shrugged his shoulders in response. The teachers were prominent figures in their communities, and everyone had already known they would instruct so he himself was quite irritated with this spectacle. He had come prepared to get started with the school year; Sasuke was determined to impress his older brother Itachi with near perfect grades. And of course, he had to show up Naruto.

OOC: Btw, I'm adding Hinata to the rp! (; OOC: I hope you had a great weekend, dear & are back with energy! 😊 Yes of course, just let me know who you would like to add! That's totally fine, sometimes our replies can be short!

Naruto didn't know either if it was going to be like a normal school day, but it cleary was going to be a smooth start for everyone. "It seem like we can just chill this day out." He grinned and his blue eyes got contact with Asukas dark brown orbs, he had moved a little closer to her, so she could be able to hear him.

The blonde did however know by the fact he and Sasuke are like brothers, and best friends. That Sasuke's older brother Itachi, were going to be their math teacher for those years since a long time ago. Naruto wasn't surprised like some of the other students seem to be, don't mention the "fangirls".

Zara eyed some students who was already ready to leave the school assembly, to look around the school and also soon attend to their class and get to know their teachers. "So, your brother will be our math teacher, I see." Zara spoke to the raven haired boy, she turned her blue orbs to Sasuke, who was sitting next to her. "Most be a little fun at least, to have family members around, or maybe not?" A smirk plays on her lips, Hinamori didn't really know how it would feel like to have a family member as your teacher in school. Because she never are around that much with her own half siblings anymore. They are all older then herself and years ago they had moved out, started their own lifes and own families with kids. However, Zara did give him small hints that there was interest from her side and she is clearly interested getting to know more about the young Uchiha boy.

On Zara's other side was Sakura finding some dust under her green ombré painted nails she were clearly inside her own bubble. "Don't you guys think we should go and look around?" Sakura spoke to the group, from seeing people already leaving the assembly hall.

Hinata A girl with long dark navy blue hair, wearing the girl school uniform strictly styled with her hands in her lap and facing the stage. She were sitting by herself, while she watched the mass of people around her who were talking, and doing their thing. And then there was the teachers, who introduced themselves to the hole crew of new students. All of a sudden, she could hear her name been called, out form the mass of people. The girl looks up and find a pair of blue eyes and long blonde hair pulled up in a ponytail, who ran up to her side, and the girl takes a seat next to the quiet one and gived her a hug.

Ino "So here you are, Hinata." The blonde begun, "I have been looking for you, all over the place." Ino spoke and rest her arm around Hinata's shoulder, Hinata felt a little embarrassed to know her friends have tried to look for her. She looks down at her hands which she hold in her lap, nervously replying to the blonde. "S-sorry, i didn't know you were looking for me." Hinata replied, the blonde chuckled, she have always known that Hinata is very shy, and needs to come out from her shell someday. Because inside she is an amazing person.

"Btw, have you seen Zara, Asuka & Sakura?" Ino raised her pale eyebrow, she hasn't seen them this morning by the fact by all the other students, it was hard to find them. Hinata haven't seen them either but, she did get a messenger on her cellphone before from Zara. She never had the courage to reply to her friend, or even try to at least find them. She shook her head, and Ino let out a sigh. "Well, that's alright. We will see them soon." Ino smiled, Hinata returned a slight nod as a reply, then returned to be quiet.

Yanagi and Gaara found each other during the commotion before assembly, finding seats further back than the popular girls. Gaara was on his phone searching social media for Zara. Yanagi was stealthily admiring Hinata. He had chosen those seats so that he could see her but was slightly behind her so she wouldn't see him looking at her. She was adorable and lovely and smart and he just adores everything about her.

Suddenly he saw Ino approach Hinata, he made solid eye contact with her before she began speaking to the shy beauty. Would she tell the girl he was checking her out, or dismiss it. Either way he snapped his attention back to the assembly. He had met up with Kakashi beforehand. The man was a genius and was going to help Yanagi get into a good college with some advanced courses after school.

Suddenly Yanagi had an idea. His gaze snapped to Lee, "Hey, Lee, I need you to talk to Hinata and see if she likes me. I'm not going to pursue her if she's not interested."

& OOC: Still waiting for your replies, hope you haven't forgotten the Rp! :)
