Misunderstood Cherry Blossom

Chapter 1:

Emi Hoshi, the most beautiful girl in Konohagakure high school. Also, the worst tempered, the most annoying and definitely the most conceited. She is her own center of attention, as well as most of the boys' too. She been in relationships with every boy you can see! Well, every boy except Sasuke Uchiha- My one and only best friend. Emi's lame entourage consists of three, life-less girls.

1 - Ino Yamanaka: The stupidest blonde I've ever met- was my best friend before she turned in a miniature devil.

2 – Tenten (I don't know her last name and… I honestly don't care!): She's not the worst, and is probably in the middle…? I have to admit, she's great at gymnastics.

3 – Hinata Hyuuga: She's definitely not a bad person!! I feel very sorry for her… She's always being manipulated by others. I hope she finds the courage to stand up for herself, I know she can do it! (Sorry for calling you life-less!)

So… This is me.

I'm Haruno Sakura, how did you guess?

Dear I.U,

Hey, it's me again. Yeah, those girls bothered me again; one threw a cupcake in my face. They looked kind of pathetic when they saw me swoop a little cream from it and ate it. I flashed them a smile and walked off with Sasuke by my side. He grabbed some cream as well and- /i

OKAY! Whoa, STOP RIGHT THERE!!

I've just introduced myself, and know I'm ranting on to my friend! How rude of me. Okay, I'll explain: "I.U." is his initials. He wasn't told me his name, though he says I'll figure it out if I think hard enough- is it obvious? I feel dumb for not knowing. Anyhow, he's my pen pal and has been for almost a year now. We've met a few times but we're not much talkers-we're typers. It might sound kind of weird but, we understand each other.

ANYHOW!

-He grabbed some cream as well and ate it too. Emi was furious! She absolutely loves Sasuke, and couldn't believe that he embarrassed her in public like that. I, of course, laughed my bobby pink head off. Hm, I don't have much to say for know, I'm too hungry to think. I can hear the water boiling now (I'm making noodles) so I'll talk to you later!

Emi can kiss my shiny metal a- oh… Woops, I've been watching too much television lately,

S.H.

Sakura sighed and clicked on the send button on her laptop, it was beautiful and sunny outside so she decided to go out for a walk and maybe meet up with Sasuke or Naruto. She called Naruto first, but he was too busy. She crossed her fingers and called home, but only heard the receiver. So, she had one last shot- she called his cell, and he immediately answered.

"Hey Sasuke where are you?" Sakura said before he could even say hello.

"Um, hello? Who is this?" A familiarly obnoxious voice was heard through her phone.

"… Emi friggin' Hoshi?!" Sakura yelled in the phone, "Why are you using Sasuke's cell?!" she asked impatiently and demandingly.

"Oh, that's none of your business. But I'll tell you anyways! He's a little… Tied up at the moment, so you can't really talk to him." She giggled mischievously.

"Where the hell are you?!" she asked.

"Just hanging behind the school…" Emi said slowly to keep her on the line, but was hung up on as soon as Sakura heard their location. Sakura bust out her front door without bothering to lock it behind her and ran to the bus stop. She saw a bus approaching, and as soon as it stopped and the door opened wide, she jumped in. She paid her bus fair and tapped her foot impatiently and kept repeating,

"Can't you go any faster than this??" The bus driver was thoroughly annoyed but decided not to argue and finally sped up, making everyone fall back a little. There were slight "Whoa"-s and "Ah"-s but the driver managed to get her to her stop without killing anyone. "Arigatou!" She yelled as she ran of to the back of the school.

"Aww, you got here on record time sweet little cherry blossom! Would you like some cookies and milk?" Tenten teased.

"Where's Sasuke?" Sakura asked after taking a deep breath. She saw their faces become sad all of a sudden, "W-What is it?"

"… Sasuke's dead." Emi said. Sakura froze, 'What…? Dead… Sasuke… No!' Sakura thought. A tear fell down her cheek and she was about to collapse onto her knees when Ino took a clear picture of her and the three girls began to laugh (Hinata was not present). Sakura frowned in confusion, and then became mad.

"You fell for it!!" Ino, who held the camera, laughed and took more and more pictures- she just kept clicking and clicking, capturing the scene. A visible vein popped out of Sakura head and she formed a fist. She punched Emi across the face and knocked her out, Tenten grabbed her before she hit the ground and began to yell at Ino,

"Stop taking pictures you idiot!!" She yelled.

"I can't! It's like, broken or something! It keeps flashing and stuff!!" She told the brunette. They suddenly heard people talking and approaching and ran for it. Ino, being her idiot self, threw the camera to the ground before leaving. Sakura looked down to the camera,

"The film should be erased. Stupid camera." She grumbled and stomped on it numerous times.

"Sakura!" She heard a familiar voice call her, it was Sasuke, "Have you seen my cell- Hey, what are you doing?" he asked curiously and walked towards her. Neji and Rock Lee were with him and approached as well.

"What happened here?" He asked once more and picked up his cell phone- it must have fallen from Emi's hands when she was punched- and looked at the camera.

"That thing must have been expensive, whose was it?" Neji asked.

"Oh, no one important." Sakura said cheerfully and picked up the broken device.

Dear I.U,

Hey, you haven't e-mailed in forever, what's going on? The Last thing you told me was about you having lots of work to do, I know you're in university but… I miss you! Hey, I know this sounds cheesy but I've been longing to speak with you for the past week and I haven't been able to. I hope we can talk soon; I swear, we were meant to be!!

XOXOXO,

S.H

Dear S.H,

Hey, my internet connection got cut off- I forgot to pay the bill. I'm still working really hard during my science lessons; it's not too hard but can get complicated. I don't find that cheesy at all… Hey, why don't I come visit for a while? I've got next week off and we haven't gone out together in a while. The trip from here to there might take few days by train, so I'll see you soon.

I.U.
