Chapter 1: Why?
My name is Sakura Haruno , I am 18 years old and have been cooped up in this orphanage for as long as I can remember. I just know that I am able to get out of this place, and possibly start over. I know that once I leave that I will miss all the friends that I had here but I know one thing I won't miss this life.
BEEEEP
BEEEEP
BEEEEP
It is 7 am, I don't want to get up! Damn alarm clock, when I get out of here you is not coming with me!
"Alright, alright already, I'm up, just stop your god damn beeping," I yelled at my clock with no matter how many times I hit the damned thing it just refused to shut up.
It's a typical morning for me, yell at the clock, go get some gross breakfast; if you would call it that, then go take a shower and get ready for whatever the day throws at me. But today was different, I had my plane tickets in my hand and I was just about to walk out that door, grab a cab, and head for Salem, Massachusetts when…
"SAKURA! You are not leaving here without saying goodbye to your bestest friend in the world," my obnoxious best friend Ino yelled from the front door. Ever since we were 6 and I had first arrived here she was always there, no matter what went down. If some kid came up to me and made fun of my pink hair or wide forehead, she would stick up for me, even though I barely knew the girl.
"Ino, why would I leave without saying goodbye to you? You my friend have been with me through everything, but today and from now on, I am going to try and be my own body guard for once, go to college, and maybe one day find a nice man," I told her. She is always trying to set me up with some random guy she knows, that I don't. Take for instance when she had taken me out for my 18th birthday, the girl by "quincidence" met like 5 of her guy friends there. So I told her to never try and set me up again because every time she does, it awlays ends up very badly.
"Sakura, when you get off that plane, scratch that, when you get to the airport call me. I want to know where you are living, so that I can write to you and visit when I get the chance. It is going to be boring here without you, and I don't know if I can handle it."
"Trust me, you will be fine and you always have been. There has not been an obstacle you couldn't overcome. Just think of this as a herdal in the final lap of the championship track meet, just look forward, never look back, and never look at your opponent strait in the eyes."
"Yeah, yeah I know, but we have never been apart. This might be my hardest one to date." Ino was the track star at our old high school. Here in Suna, if you wanted to compete you had to be able to handle hard trials and of course what we are known for, the heat. I turned to her, whispered something which made both of us laugh (something about what happened at her last track meet ;)). After that, I turned gave her a great big hug, said my goodbyes to her and all the rest of the residents at the orphanage and took my leave for what might be my greatest adventure.
/(Time elapse to her arriving at the air port)
So here I am at Suna National Airport waiting for the 8 o'clock plane to a place called Konoha. From what I have seen and read about the place it is a great place for a new start and has some the most amazing people and places to live there. So I thought why not, I will to at least give the place a try before I actually judge the place first.
"ALL PASSENGERS WHO ARE FLYING THE 8 O'CLOCK PLANE TO KONOHA PLEASE APPROACH GATE K107 WE ARE ABOUT TO BEGIN BOARDING."
As I heard the loud speaker announce I picked up the carryon bags I had, gathered my tickets and headed for the gate. When I handed the lady my ticket she took and smiled and said that I may go inside. I saw the entrance for the plane; I stopped and I thought.
This is it Sakura, once you step on to that plane there is no turning back. You have this chance to make new friends and do something with your life. Just breathe close your eyes and take those lasts steps.
And so I did. For the first time in my life I know for a fact that I am not making a mistake that in the end will come back and bite me in the butt one day.
I walked down the aisle of the plane and I was looking for row K seat 7. I saw my row and seat, only thing I wasn't happy about was that I was a middle seat, god only knows with whom I am sitting with. When I got closer, I saw 3 guys; just my luck. The one had spiky silver hair, with an eye patch! It looked like he was reading an orange book, the one next to him was way too excited, he wore all orange and black and had obnoxious blonde hair and blue eyes. Then the last guy who just stared out the window was unbelievably gorgeous. He had spiky raven hair, his eyes were like two pieces of onyx and was just perfect in every way.
Maybe this plane ride won't be so bad with Mr. Gorgeous sitting next to me .
"Excuses me, can you get up for one second just so I can get to my seat," I asked to two guys in the first two seats the nicest way I could. They reluctantly moved, the book I saw was porn.
Oh great we have a pervert in our row, and the blonde one won't stop smiling at me, it am officially creaped out.
The blonde one is so weird, I mean has whiskers on his cheeks and is way too preppy for a boy about his age. Then I got to my seat which seemed like forever till I did, and saw that the mystery boy was looking straight at me. He is even more gorgeous up front!
"Hiya! My name in Naruto Uzumaki, and I am going to be hokage of Konoha one day, believe it!" was all heard to my right from the blonde.
"Hi, my name is Sakura it is nice to meet you."
"Yo, my name is Kakashi and don't mind the idiot next to you, he had sugar before he came," okay he is a cool pervert just as long as he doesn't hit one me.
"Hi, nice to meet you as well Kakashi-san."
"hn," was all that was said from mystery guy.
"Well the others said hi and their names, don't you think it proper to introduce yourself?"
"Yes, my name is Saskue Uchiha, it is a pleasure to meet you Sa-Ku-Ra."
What the hell! Did he just sound out my name like he was teasing me, and is it really necessary to smirk, you bastard. Okay so the others are nice and don't have to be taught a lesson, where as Mr. Hot and rude does. This is going to be a long plane ride, why is it always me!
Hey hope you guys like it, this is my first so please it would be very appreciated if you would review and tell me what could be added or changed. In the next chapter things get more interesting between the newly developed friends.
