Chapter 1
Ino grabbed the mic out of Sakura's grasp. "This is how our leader is when she's lonely!" Ino jokingly exclaimed as she playfully swayed back and forth like a swaying tree. "Won't you stay with me," Ino timidly said. Tenten and Hinata both chuckled at Ino's perfect imitation. Embarrassed, Sakura quickly regained the mic. Charmed from the girl's relationship, the reporter smiled and regained his posture.
"Sakura Haruno," The reporter glanced at her heart shaped face. He instantly felt his heart throb as he noticed how gorgeous she is. Her emerald eye screams stardom. The delicate lips look heavenly. Her fair complexion radiates the essence of perfection. "People want to know, is pink your natural hair color?"
"Yes," She answered. "Believe it or not pink is my natural hair color," Sakura softly combed her hair wavy hair with her fingers.
"That's absolutely FANTASTIC!" The reporter roared with awe. Not wanting the reporter to be only fixated on her, Sakura quickly changed the subject.
"Our band's name, 4STAR*S, is created by none other than Hinata!" Sakura excitingly exclaimed. She passed the mic down to Hinata. Hinata elegantly set the mic above her chin and looked directly at the reporter.
"What an interesting name!" The reporter took the poster and examined how the band name was designed. "Can you please explain to us how you came up with the name and the style?"
"I came up with the name by reminiscing about our childhood. You see… Sakura, Ino, Tenten, and I all knew each other since pre-K." The reporter eyes sparkled with anticipation. "Throughout our friendship we learned that we all make each other shine," She shyly stated. "In order for us to shine the brightest, we rely on each other." Tenten proudly wrapped her arm around Hinata's shoulder. "And the design was created by all of us," Hinata proudly exclaimed. Hinata smiled and thanked Tenten for the support. The reporter eyes are twinkling with admiration. "I am the harmonizer of the group," Hinata sheepishly said. She swiftly passed the mic to Tenten.
"My name is Tenten!" The reporter immediately felt the fierce energy coming from Tenten. He was completely blown away by her self-confidence. "I'm the best rapper in history!" Tenten folded her arms around her head and winked at the reporter. Tenten tossed the mic into Ino's lap.
"My name is Ino," She said with a flare of sass. "I'm the dancer and the choreographer in our band." The reporter noted how composed she was. He admired her balance of playful emotions and the serious vibe she radiates. "Here you go," Ino said to Sakura.
The mic is finally made it back into Sakura's hands. "My name is Sakura, and I am the proud leader of 4STAR*S!" Sakura said with her vibrant voice. The presence around Sakura could only summarize one word. The reporter happily sighed at the beautiful sight.
"Warmth," He whispered.
Sasuke, compelled to a certain pink hair girl on the flat screen T.V., couldn't believe his eyes. Is it really Sakura? He tossed his jacket onto the stand in his office and gawked at the beautiful sight. She has blossomed wonderfully. He sat down and raised the volume. If only time could rewind, he dejectedly thought to himself. Sasuke pulls out the gold necklace in his pocket.

Sakura stood in the rain. Her petite body was trembling. Sasuke was worried that Sakura might catch a cold, so he draped his jacket over her quivering body. She didn't bother looking at him. "I'm sorry I was late," Sasuke said in his monotone voice. Deep inside, he truly felt horrible. He was angry at himself for being one hour late to their date. Sakura swiftly removed his jacket and gave it back to him. She finally made eye contact to Sasuke. Sasuke saw anger, hurt, and betrayal in her eyes.
"Let's break up," She icily said. She handed the gold necklace to him. Sasuke clenched his fist and rejected the gold necklace. "Take it," She said. Seeing that he wouldn't comply, she dropped the gold necklace on the ground. She turned around and started marching toward her apartment. Confused and hurt, Sasuke grabbed her cold wrist. "Let go."
"Why?" Sasuke asked. He tried his best to not break down.
"You know why," Sakura said. She yanked her wrist back. "You still love Karin." Sakura cursed at herself for losing her composure. Sasuke was silent. He didn't know what to say. He shamefully released her wrist. She bit her mouth in order to not cry. "You always arrived late to our dates, and it was solely because of Karin. You choose her over me!" Sakura finally yelled. I thought that you wouldn't be indecisive and actually choose me over her, but I was wrong. Karin is your first love and that's the strongest bond. God I was so stupid!" Sakura glared at Sasuke and said something that tore his heart. "You two were made for each other." Sasuke watched her leave. Little did he know that this is the last time he's ever going to see Sakura.
