I'm not sure why I thought that this would be the perfect summer vacation. I must have been crazy, or maybe it was my parents who had gone nuts. Either way, this is not how I expected to spend this summer. I guess I should start from the beginning, huh? Alright, my name is Sakura Haruno, daughter of Akio and Keiko Haruno. Today is the first official day of summer vacation, and so far it's not going so well. Here's how it started:

BRINNGGG!
"WHOO! SCHOOLS OUT EVERYBODY!" I yelled for the whole world to hear.
"You said it it girl!" Ino, my best friend in the world yelled back to me while she jumped up and down from happiness.
"No more pencils, no more books, NO MORE TEACHER'S DIRTY LOOKS!"
" Would you shut it dobe? Your screaming is hurting my ears."
"HEY! DON'T CALL ME A DOBE YOU TEME!"
"I told you to shut up Dobe!"
"Teme!"
"Dobe!"
"Teme!"
"Dobe!"
"TEME!"
"WOULD YOU TWO KNUCKLE HEADS SHUT UP ALREADY?" I yelled at the two rivals. "You are always so loud Naruto! And Sasuke, you too! Can't you take it like a man instead of a sissy?" I screamed again before punching Naruto on the head.
"Hn, whatever."
"OW, Sakura-chan that hurt!"
"You deserved it Naruto!"
"AND SASUKE, STOP IT WITH THOSE HN'S ALREADY!"
"Hn."
"Sasuke... you are sooo ANNOYING!"
Those two drive me crazy with their fighting, I swear. They're still my friends though, so it's okay. Along with the knuckle heads, I'm best friends with Ino Yamanaka, who I knew since we were in diapers. Also, I'm friends with Hinata Hyuga, Tenten Tattegane, Neji Hyuga, and Shikamaru Nara. We're a big group and have a lot of fun together.
"Hey guys, why don't you come to my house and we can have a mini 'Happy Summer Vacation' party?" suggested Tenten.
"That sounds awesome!" said an already psyched Ino.
"Umm.. guys, we can't go know because, well, I just received a text from my father saying that we all had to meet him and the rest of our parents at the Hyuga Summer House." interrupted Hinata.
"Well this better be quick.." I mumbled, upset at the fact of delaying a would be awesome party.
" YOUR SAYING WE HAVE TO DO WHAT?" I yelled to my mother, Keiko, who was wearing a sly grin on her face.
"You heard me," Keiko said " all eight of you will spend your entire summer locked in this here summer house."
" B-b-b-but, you can't do that! I can't spend my ENTIRE summer locked in a house with THESE buffoons!" I retorted pointing to the boys of our group.
"Yes you can sweetie. All of us parents decided and you WILL obey, understood?"
"B-b-b-but, DADDY WON'T LET ME STAY LOCKED UP IN A HOUSE WITH A BUNCH OF BOYS! So there. I close my case." I answered with a humph.
"Well, actually Sakura, this was my idea in the first place.." Akio said sheepishly while scratching the back of his head.
"WHAT? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? DON'T TELL ME WE HAVE TO SHARE ROOMS WITH THEM TOO!"
"Well, actually there aren't enough rooms for all of you, so you'll have to share." answered Aki, Ino's mom.
"I call sharing with Saki!" said Ino, holding up my hand.
"I'll stay with Hinata!" said Tenten, holding up Hinata's hand similar to the way Ino held up mine.
"And we are the one's picking your partners." Aki said, wincing as to get ready for the scream that was sure to come.
"ARE YOU KIDDING ME!" we all yelled knowing that we surely weren't gonna get our way.
"Come, I'll show you where your rooms are." offered Inoichi, Ino's father.
"This is so troublesome" complained Shikamaru, yawning loudly.
We followed Inoichi up the stairs where we saw four master bedrooms; each with a king size bed and bathroom. I was glad we didn't ALL have to share one bathroom, but to think there was only one bed in each room; I didn't exactly like that idea.
"OK, before you guys start complaining about the rooms, take note that this part of the plan was Yoshina's idea. So don't go killing me about it." Inoichi said calmly, looking at the eight of us with a warning glance.
"That troublesome women, I still don't know what my father say in her..." complained Shikamaru.
I ignored his complaints for I was used to them. Instead I focused on Inoichi as he prepared to reveal our roommates for the whole summer.
"Ahem," Inoichi started, clearing his throat, "staying in the first room will be Ino and Shikamaru"
"WHAT? BUT HE'S THE LAZIEST PERSON ON EARTH! DADDY HOW COULD YOU?" Ino quickly complained.
"Sweetie, I told you the roommates were not my idea so would you PLEASE stop trying to kill me?" chocked out Inoichi as he struggled to break free from his daughter's grasp on his collar.
"Oh, hehehe, sorry Daddy." , she said letting him go.
"This is so troublesome. I'm stuck with the loudest girl on earth...", once again complained Shikamaru.
"Shut up lazy boy! I'm not happy about this either ya know!" , yelled Ino into the poor boy's ear.
"OW! Ino, that hurts ya know!"
"Well good, cause you deserved it!"
"Can I continue?" interrupted Inoichi.
"Oh sure, sorry Daddy!"
"Good, now in the next room is Tenten and Neji."
"YAY! I get to stay with my awesome boyfriend!" screamed a giggly Tenten as she jumped on Neji's back.
"Hn." was all Neji said. But I could see how happy he really was.
"Well, at least we have one pair who's happy" sighed Inoichi wondering how he got the job of giving out the roommates. Oh yes, he remembered now, his wife blackmailed him into it.
"Now, I shall continue. Next is Hinata and Naruto in this room right here." he said while opening the door to reveal a master bedroom; while ignoring a happy Naruto and a blushing Hinata.
'I'm sharing a room with Naruto-kun? Oh, what will he think? And there's only one bed!' thought Hinata as she blushed ten-fold.
"Cool! I get to share a room with Hinata-chan!"
"Ahem, moving on now. Next is -" said Inoichi again clearing his throat.
At this my heart was racing. The only ones left were Sasuke and me. I couldn't bear share a room with him!
"Sakura and Sasuke" he finished.
But then again, it looks like I have no choice...
"Hn" was the only reaction Sasuke gave. Mine was different.
"MY LIFE IS ENDING!"
After my scream, we were dragged back downstairs where we saw my mother standing there looking very pleased at my torture.
"Thanks Inoichi, you can leave them to me now." she said a little to sweetly.
"Right" he said leaving to go back into the living room with the other parents.
"OK guys, I'm here to answer any questions you might have." she said clasping her hands together as looked at us with a twinkle in her crimson eyes. Naruto had one.
"Who's gonna cook? And can they make ramen?"
At this my mother laughed, making her pink hair bob.
"Don't worry Naruto, I'm sure the cooks we hired can cook up anything you want. We also have maids to clean and we hired others to do the shopping for you. This way you have no excuse to leave the house."
"SHOPPING? I can't let a bunch of old maids go to Mac to get my make-up for me!" Ino screamed looking as if she had just been told she was going to die tomorrow.
"I meant grocery shopping Ino. If you want to do fun shopping you can. Just as long as Itachi or Kiku come along with you."
As if on cue, the couple came in the room; Itachi looking bored while Kiku looked the quite opposite.
"What are you doing here big brother?" asked Sasuke with a hiss and glare.
"Oh calm down otutou, just because your embarrassed of having to share a room with a pretty girl doesn't mean you have to yell at me for it." said a now very amused Itachi.
"Shut up" retorted Sasuke.
I giggled at their fight. Though in the inside, I was slightly embarrassed considering that Itachi Uchiha just indirectly called me pretty. He probably just said it to bug Sasuke.
"Quite fighting you two!" scolded my mother as she wagged a finger at them as if they were two years old. "Now, do you have anymore questions?" She was met with silence. "OK, and before I forget, you don't have to go home and pack, we already have your things in the dressers of your assigned rooms. And don't worry, you won't be missing anything. It'll feel just like home." At this she received a loud groan from all of us."Alright then, hope you have a great summer!" She and the other parents started walking out the door. She turned to walk out but stopped at the door. Turning around to face me she said, "Oh and Saki, one more piece of advice, use birth control pills, OK? I'm to young to be a grandma."
"MOM!" I yelled at her, clearly embarrassed at her words. She ignored me and walked out the door locking it as she left. We were now officially locked in.
