What An Atypical Life I Lead-Chapter 1-My life: The Deep Dark Abyss of Misery

First off: This is my very first fanfic, so please, don't hurt me! I hope my writing skills come even close to the other writers! Well, enjoy! Oh, and please review, for the sake of this story. If you don't review, then it's going to be really, really…bad. Thanks!

"WHAT!" came the earsplitting shriek from a dainty pink-headed girl. Haruno Sakura to be exact. Her eyes were full to bursting. A vein popped on her temple. This was not a good day. Her mother was across from her, sitting stiffly on the beige tinted couch. The mother, Mrs. Haruno, was quite scared to say in the least.

Sakura was your average teenage girl, except for the pink hair thing of course! She had friends, enemies, crushes, etc. Sakura was a very calm, well-tempered, compassionate person, especially when you thought about how old she was. She was only 16 years old! Very mature for her age, yet her bad side was quite difficult to discontinue. Her mother was a kind, gentlewoman, but for some odd reason, she didn't have any pink hair like her daughter. She was strong willed deep down inside, though. And like Sakura, her temper was hard to stop.

"YOU'RE SENDING ME WITH HER? WHY ME, OKAA-SAN? I DON'T DESERVE THE PUNISHMENT OF LIVING WITH THAT-THAT-THING!" she yelled in rage. Mrs. Haruno stood up and looked at her daughter firmly, a fire igniting in her eyes. "Sakura, you will stop this nonsense at once. Do you understand me?" was all she said, and all she had to say to make Sakura sit down on the other couch beside her mother. "Now," Mrs. Haruno began. "I do understand that you have a problem with your cousin, but that gives you absolutely no reason to screech at me. Understood?" Sakura silently bobbed her head up and down. "I don't know if this is going to be temporary or not, but I do know that it is for your own good. You'll be there at least a full year, 12 whole months. The longest you'd stay is 2 years. Don't worry, you're only 1 town away. That's about 30 minutes or so from here. You can stop by anytime you like, as long as it doesn't interfere with your school work, understood?" She seemed to be saying that a lot lately. Sakura sighed, 'No point in arguing with her, she's going to make me go whether I like it or not. Come on Haruno, suck it up, you've dealt with worse. Actually you haven't, but suck it up anyways!' she screamed at herself in her mind. "You're going to be leaving in a week, dear. I know it's hard for you, but we're going to have to pull through this. Now go up to your room and pack everything," came Mrs. Haruno's firm command. Sakura nodded gloomily, dragging her feet while she walked, which ultimately caused her to get shocked upstairs by her doorknob. 'I hate today, I really, really do,' she thought in her mind, as she entered her unadulterated room. Only one thought was running through that little pink head of hers: I'm going to be living with Ino….'

Sakura Haruno's room was spotless. Simple as that. Everything, such as her clothes, were tucked neatly inside drawers, her closet, etc. She had 3 large windows in her room, considering her room itself was gargantuan. Yet, there weren't a whole lot of things to fill up all of that space! She had 2 tall dressers, each with 6 drawers. 2 closets, one was regular, and the other was a walk-in closet. Then she had her main dresser, with only 3 drawers, complete with a large mirror resting up top. And of course, what makes every room an actual bedroom, her bed. Surprisingly, it wasn't covered in pink, frilly lace. Her covers were a deep royal blue, and her pillows were a shade lighter. Actually, the only things that were pink in her room were her clothes, everything else seemed kind of normal. Amazing, isn't it?

Sakura sighed heavily. She flopped back on her blue bed dramatically. "When is this ever going to end? Why, just this morning, I was leading my same, normal life, and now it's been torn up into tiny bite sized pieces! My life is the deep dark abyss of misery, I know it for a fact now!" she exclaimed under her breath. She sat up and began to stand. 'Well, I'm going to be staying there for at least a whole year, so, out comes my whole entire wardrobe,' she thought sadly, gently taking out each of her outfits. Her mother, apparently, had already taken up some boxes into her room. They were stacked in a corner, about 6 of them. 'Well,' she began to think. 'It can't be as bad as I'm making it out to be. I mean, no one at school will probably miss me, I barely have any real friends, and-and I'll be able to make some new ones while I'm at Ino's house. Even though I hate her guts, she's still my cousin, and we can't separate from each others sides, but I'm defiantly not going to tell her that. Hmmm…think positives Haruno, think positives.' As she packed up most of her belongings in the boxes, she began to listen to her mp3 player. She hummed along to the sweet music. There were no lyrics, just a sweet, flowing melody that was being played on the piano. She abruptly stopped her work and turned off her mp3 player. She stood up straight with a determined look on her pale face. "I, Sakura Haruno, am going to stay at least a full year at Ino's house, and I'm going to do it with no complaints!" she stated confidently, gazing out of her window. But deep down inside her heart, she had a somewhat different theory. 'Roll with the punches Haruno, roll with the punches life gives you. When you're being pushed down by a problem, suck it up and take it, suck it up and take it,' she thought, while smiling

Okay, thanks big time to those wonderful people who actually took time to read my first chapter! And, even if I don't get any reviews, that really doesn't affect me.(don't get me wrong, review are very very very much appreciated! Critical guidance and help is very much needed!) Having no reviews doesn't mean I'm going to discontinue the story. I write/upload these stories for my enjoyment also! And I upload them so you can have the enjoyment I do! So even if there's absolutely no reviews, I'm still going to keep writing! (Oh, and sorry, I deleted the first chapter because I had to put in some extra stuffs! But I promise, this is the final one! ) I'm currently writing the next chapter, it should be done by tomorrow or the next day at that! Until then!
