NOTE: The second quote in my summary was not made by me! I don't wanna get sued for plagiarism. It's a line in the The Princess Bride spoken by Wesley. Hehe okay now on with the story

"All this drama makes me wanna shoot someone. Everything is just so fucked up!"

If I strum chords, would you sing a song with me
If I leave town would you leave along with me
We can fly away to outer space
We can find a way to leave this place...

"She's such a slut. She's an attentionwhore. I just hate her. Hate. Her. Don't you agree with me, Sakura?" It was a Friday night and the summer breeze just flew by.

"Sure, sure. I do." I replied. We were on my balcony gazing at the stars and listening to music. I had been listening to my sister ramble on about the stupidest things. Can't she just learn to let go? I mean, I love to help people and solve their problems, but sometimes it just gets annoying. Life isn't fair, and Karma's a bitch. That's what I always say. I have my own problems too, you know. Don't expect so much from me. I'm not freakin' Wonder Woman.

"And there's this one picture on her myspace that makes her look like a total whore, but it's so funny because she's so effing ugly. Just look at her big nose. Oh god, my butt cheeks are cuter than her." Okay, that one I had to laugh at.

"Wasn't she your best friend before?" I asked.

"Well yeah, not until she kissed my boyfriend!" And after that I started to space out again while my sister just blabbed on.

I wonder what'll happen this summer. Lots of things are changing. I'm losing and gaining friends. And looking for love. Oh my god, love. I hate that word. It makes me feel... tingly, nervous, excited, sad; it makes me feel everything! But someone told me that I'll only find it once I stop looking. But there's this one guy, his name is Sasuke. He's my neighbor. Everyone thinks he's cute, which he is. He doesn't know I exist. Oh, and did I tell you that he's a skater? Everyone knows that I'm a sucker for skaters. And he looks kinda nerdy, but in a good way. OH MY GOD, his hair. His hair is amazing! One day, just one day I'm gonna catch his attention and make him feel love. I just want what every girl wants. I want The One. End Of Story. Ugh, I don't want to talk about this. Let's talk about something else. Last summer was the best. Ever. It brings back tons of memories. But they're all gone. They're all broken. Oh forget about it. My gut tells me that something big is gonna happen. Something, let's say, life-changing? But it's weird 'cause at the same time it feels like nothing is gonna happen.

"Sakura, are you even listening to me? SAKURA! HELLO?"

"Mmm.. yeah?"

"You're hopeless." She pulled herself up with the help of her arms and walked out of my room.

"Gee, thanks Kyoko." By the way my sisters name is Kyoko, if you haven't noticed. She's 18 and I'm 16. We have a seriously fucked up family, but who's isn't? She's always there for me, I'm always there for her. We always cover for each other. We have a strong bond as sisters. Usually all sisters do is fight. Yes we fight but only over petty matters. Like who gets to use the bathroom first and who has to babysit our little brother Konohamaru or who gets to do the laundry on which days, etc. None of them matter anyway.

We don't need a map and you can throw your phone away
We don't wanna hear the things we know they're gonna say
You don't trust yourself but girl trust in me
Don't look in the mirror the past you don't wanna see...

I looked at the clock. It read 2:28 AM. I decided to head in and just crash on my bed and let the music ring through my ears. Music always soothes me. It's my cure to almost everything. Sometimes I listen to music to search for signs to figure out a problem. At that moment, my cellphone rang. Let me light up the sky, ligh it up for you. Let me tell you why I would die for you. That was my ringtone. I love that band, Yellowcard. "Hello?"

"Hey Sak!" My face was buried in my pillow. I was too lazy to move.

"Hi TenTen." My muffled voice spoke.

"What? I can't understand you. It's like your mumbling or something-"

"Nothing, nothing. I just said hi." I sat up and examined my feet. They were so, weird. I hate feet. Feet are weird. I stood up and searched around my room for the turquoise nail polish.

"Oh okay. Well I'm super bored so I just wanted to call you and talk. I guess." I kept looking. I checked in my closet. In the bathroom. Under my bed. Where is my freakin' nail polish?

"Wh... what do you wanna talk about?"

"Are you okay? You seem distracted." I opened the top left drawer of my dresser. Then I saw the little colorful bottle.

"Aha! I found it! Sorry could you repeat that?"

"Your sister's right. Your hopeless." I opened the container then painted my toes with the tiny black brush.

"Shut up. I think that's like the fifth time I've heard that today."

"Oh did I tell you? Me and Neji got back together yesterday! I was at the park sitting on the bench alone. I just needed some time to think, because you know, everything's changing and all. Then I saw someone walking to me-"

"And it was Neji and he sat down next to you and then you guys talked and things happened and you guys hooked up blah blah blah blah blah. Yes TenTen. You told me."

"Well what's up with you and Sasuke?" I smeared the nail polish all over my toe.

"What do you mean what's up with me and Sasuke. There's nothing going on. For one, he doesn't know I exist. I'm just his neighbor. Two, he's crushing on that Haruru girl-"

"Haruka." she corrected.

"Whatever. And third, wait I don't have a third."

"You're just mad because he really is crushing on Haruka. You have to make a move before he asks her out. It's common sense. Oh and believe me I know he knows that you exist. I catch him staring at you in 7th period biology. I think it's so cute. You guys like each other, everyone knows that. But you guys are too shy to talk to admit it, or even talk to each other."

"I thought you said he was crushing on Haruka?" I'm finished painting my left foot's toe nails. Now to start on my right.

"Yeah he is, but who said that you can only crush on one person?"

What do you say we leave for California
If we drive all night we can make it by the morning
And no one has to know if we decide to go
What do you say we leave for California...

"No, Ino. He doesn't like me. I can tell! Your only saying these things to make me feel better."

"Seriously! I swear I'm not lying. Your just in denial. And you just want me to keep saying what I'm saying because you like the feeling of being told that your crush likes you because you actually want to believe he does." She was right. TenTen was the smartest person when it comes to the dreaded word- love. I looked at my phone to check how long we've been talking: 00:23:19. Twenty three minutes.

"Hey, don't you have somewhere to go to tomorrow? With your parents or something like that?"

"Oh shit! Oh my god, I totally forgot about the stupid picnic. I don't get why they would have a picnic at 9:00 AM in the morning. That's so bogus. Wait what time is it?"

"3:05."

"FUCK. I'll talk to you tomorrow, okay? Goodnight! Okay? Okay. Bye." And the line went dead.

".. goodnight Ino." I looked at my now painted toes. They were pretty, turquoise, shiny, and clean. I feel somewhat accomplished now. After that I laid down on my bed and just stared at the ceiling. A few moments later I dozed off and fell into a deep slumber, entering the world of dreams...

How was that? Short chapter, I know. But they'll get longer... somehow. I'm still thinking for a plot for this story, but I have lots of things in mind. And just to tell you guys, I absolutely hate cliches. I'm gonna try and make this story anything but ordinary. Yup. Review please!
