Once again, I'm at the bottom.
Hey. My name is Sakura. Sakura Haruno. My life is just lollipops and cherries. As if! Just when I thought I was going to have a regular life, my mom pops u and says we're moving. 'We are moving' were the magic words for me to realize 'when has my life ever been normal or regular?'
"Sakura, honey, are you ready?" called my mother.
"Yes mother I'll be down in a minute!" I answered.
Before I knew it I was in the car with the rest of my things. As we pulled out the driveway I could see the somewhat small-on-the-outside-but-big-on-the-inside house disappear from my view. Sigh. What was I going to do now? My whole life I worked for was vanishing and now I'd have to start over. Just when I was saying to myself that this had been a long agonizing drive my mother poked me and pointed out the car. I looked in the direction she was pointing, only to notice my father and my brother. Before I could get out I notice my brother ran up to me like a deranged five year old.
"Sakura, Sakura! C'mon you've got to see our new house!" screamed Sasori.
I looked at the house as he dragged me in and it did seem huge from the outside. When we got in I couldn't believe my eyes. The living room was the color of shiny silver mixed with a dark smoky gray; the kitchen had a marble counter (that was gray and black of course) with a metallic refrigerator. The cabinets were wooden but painted a charcoal black; the stove was a shiny white.
"Sakura! Come see your room!" my brother screamed with too much excitement which I found myself running up the beautiful metallic stairs that were separated by a couple inches as I went in a circle until I got upstairs. I ran toward my brother who was standing in the doorway of the last room to the right. When I got there I was amazed by what I saw. The room was decorated in a shade of pink, not too light not too bright. The bed was a king sized bed, maybe even bigger by the looks of it. As my mind was taken this in I found myself jumping into my wonderful bed of pink and green sheets.
"Uhm…" Sasori pointed to a shiny dark black dresser with shelves my jewelry and other items but what I couldn't help but stare at was the hot pink laptop with a green bow and an IPhone 5 with a lime green case with a tiny pink bow on it. Before I could scream my child-like brother stopped me.
"Before you scream to thank them you should look in the closet." With no hesitation my face quickly turned to the closet and I ran to open it up. Not only was it huge… but it held brand new clothes, shoes, jewelry and much more. As I looked through my new clothes my mother and father came in.
"So?" asked my mother curiously. I looked at her then glomped her and my father into a big hug. They both laughed to my reaction. I mean I was acting like Sasori for God's sake! They all left me to rampage my closet with which I had no problem with until I found a uniform. Now don't get me wrong, it's not like I've never worn one. It just reminded me that I would be starting at a new school which means I would have to make new friends.
Which got me back to square one?
How was I going to make new friends?
"Sakura, if you're done, you and Sasori can go explore around."
I immediately grabbed my new phone and ran downstairs.
"I'm ready!" I felt great about my appearance to walk around in. I had blue mid-thigh jean shorts with a pink spaghetti strap shirt on so there was no need for me to change my clothes. When my brother finally got down I'd just put my pink strapped sandals on. (Deciding to change my shoes.)
"Finally! What were you doing?" I asked with a tone that said 'I really don't care', but my idiotic brother thought otherwise.
"Well if you must know-"I cut him off before he could finish. Who knew what could come out his mouth.
"Hey daddy-o where's the car keys?"
Did Sasori just say daddy-o? Oh God help me!
"Oh yeah, um, follow me." my father chimed in, pulling me out my inside prayers. Sasori and I followed him into what seemed to be our garage. Before I knew it, my brother went off into another one of his deranged five year acts.
"This is for ME?!" Sasori practically yelled that to the whole world, although I would have too if I would have gotten a car. That's right. They brought him a cherry-red Honda pick-up truck. Sasori jumped in the car as soon as he'd got a hold of his keys.
"C'mon sis! We've got lots to explore!"
I couldn't help but sweat drop at his anticipation. As I got in I wonder how father snuck this in without Sasori's knowledge, but then again it's SASORI we're talking about! About twenty five minutes later we were in the parking lot of a mall. As we were walking' my brother tried winking at other girls, but they all looked in disgust. Hmm… maybe they'd thought I was his girl because Sasori's not all that ugly, demented yes, but not ugly.
Did I, Sakura Haruno, just give my brother a compliment? Even though I didn't say it out loud, THANK GOD, it was weird and repulsive. I can see myself puking now!
"What are you doing?" asked Sasori, making me realize I was holding my index finger to my mouth as I pretend to vomit.
"O-oh, uhm, nothing!"
The next few minutes we walked in silence, oh-ing and aw-ing at some of the items in the shops. Sasori brought a couple of things like shirt here or there, while I kept my money for one special thing that would catch my eye, although it seemed like such a thing didn't exactly exist.
We were heading to the food court when the weirdest thing happened. I tripped over nothing. My brother tried catching me but it was too late.
I had already landed in the secure hands of a stranger.
