Painting Flowers
Chapter 1- Don't Need Help
Tayuya packed up her last box of possessions. Happily she put her hands on her hips and stepped back to see the room she spend so many years in. . empty. She started down the stairs carefully with the last box.
"Oh look, it had legs!" Ino laughed as she watched Tayuya carry it.
Tayuya grunted, "Oh shut up."
Ino giggled, "Need a hand?" She walked over and took half the weight of the box and helped her carry it out to her Jeep Wrangler, a total dude mobile.
"I'm going to miss you Tay." Ino promised herself she wouldn't cry when her roomie left to peruse her dreams but she sound herself breaking that promise.
Tayuya smiled, "Oh don't worry. You can call anytime."
Ino nearly suffocated her in a tight hug but Tayuya let her this time, "Love you Tay."
Tayuya pulled away and lifted herself into her jeep, "Where is the I?" She laughed.
Ino smiled as she remembered when Tayuya never used to say I love you to anyone. If you were lucky you could get a Love you, but Ino always got her to say it full.
"I love you." Ino called.
Tayuya turned her key in the ignition, "I love you too! I'll call when I get there."
With a wave she pulled out and left.

About 3 hours into the drive Tayuya finally reached The Art Institute. Tayuya, being a small town girl, was baffled by how large the building and campus was. She found her dorm, which her scholarship helped pay for, and parked her jeep. She got out and grabbed the heaviest box and entered the building, barely able to see. She spotted her room number and struggled to open the door, not thinking to put the large box down first.
A voice alarmed her, "Need help?"
She jumped, "Uhm, yeah. I need to open this door."
The boy opened it for her and she set the box on the floor inside, then turned to thank him. Her eyes widened as the boy smiled at her. He was gorgeous, dark hair, dark eyes, and pale skin. He was in his boxers and a muscle shirt. She pretended to be not phased, "Uh thanks."
The boy laughed, "You're welcome. I'm Sasuke, nice to meet you."
Tayuya nodded, "Same." She began to walk past him and back out to her car.
He stopped her, "What's your name?"
She turned her head towards him, "Tayuya."
Sasuke followed her out to her car, she looked at him sternly, "I can get it."
He smiled, she was a tough girl. Long pink hair and brown eyes, she was stunning. Her attitude was obviously a front and he could tell by her casual dress and tomboy car she was not a girly girl who would normally fall for him. She wore a hand made purple hat, a black tank top, and jeans with holes in the knees.
"Let me help." He grabbed two boxes.
She grabbed three, "Fine."
After her car was box-free she stared at him, he still hadn't left her side.
He noticed the look on her face, "Sorry, uhm, I'll see you around." He waved and she shut the door behind him. He was the most handsome guy to ever talk to her.
