"So...tired..."

Seventeen year old Sakura Haruno just walked into her bedroom after a long and yet extremely exhausting day of shopping. Her parents were both out and she was home alone. Her birthday was coming soon and she would be turning eighteen. She was really excited and her best friend Ino had insisted that today should be a day of shopping to celebrate her 'eighteen wonderful years of living' with her friend. Then again, knowing Ino, Sakura assumed she would jump at any excuse to go shopping and leave the house.

Sakura sighed and dropped the numerous shopping bags onto her bed. She walked over to her window seat and sat down stroking her cat tenderly on it's back.

"Hey Amai, you miss me?" Sakura asked.

Amai's nose twitched and she let out a pleasnt purr of contentment.

Sakura laughed and stood up, Amai watching her shadow dance on the wall. Sakura walked over to her computer and checked her email.

You see, Sakura worked for the school newspaper. She ran an advice column. The only people who knew this were the other members of the newspaper committee and Sakura herself. Sakura had it set so that any person in the school could email Sakura at her set email address and then she could chose some questions to be posted in the newspaper. If they were personal questions, Sakura would email the person back. Of course, the person would remain anonymous just as Sakura would be. Sakura's column was referred to as Ask Cherry. Alright, she wasn't personally fond of the advice name but it had come across as Cherry concerning a conversation as to what Sakura's name had meant. Therefore, Ask Cherry came into existence.

Sakura saw she had received thirteen new emails. She read the first few and began chuckling to herself. 'The things people need advice with..' Sakura saw various emails ranging from best friend issues to getting rid of pimples. It was a little weird being refrained to as a different person but it also made Sakura feel better about the people around herself. She saw that through the disguise people put on, they did have a true life involving personal problems. The best part was when she recognized an email address as the captain of the cheerleading squad. That was what definitely made this worth while. That was also the reason why she had a different perspective on people.

After shifting through different emails, responding in all ways possible hoping that the person's dilemma would be solved, Sakura finally came across one from...Ino?

'Since when had Ino had any problems?' Sakura thought.

She knew it was wrong to butt into Ino's personal issues, especially if this was something that she had hidden from Sakura. She was a little hesitant at opening the email, but eventually decided in doing so. I mean come on. It was her job, right? And she swore to herself that she would never repeat anything she read to anyone, ever.

So...doing her job...she opened the email and began reading.

Dear Cherry,

I'm just a normal girl who has a crush. The thing is, I really like this guy but he's just so different from me. He's the total opposite of me actually. I'm kind of worried of what people would think if I asked him out. I'm also kind of worried at what he would say if I did. We've been friends since we were really young and I haven't even told my best friend about this. I don't know what she would say or what anyone else would say. What should I do?

Please help,

Pig-chan

Sakura finished the letter and slumped in her chair. 'He's been her friend since they were young...he's the total opposite of her...she's afraid of what people would say and what he'll say...hm...' Sakura tapped her finger on her chin, a habit she had grown into when thinking.

Dear Pig-chan,

After reading your letter, it seems you are the type of person people look up to. You're the kind of person that you don't want people to think...poorly of. If you have a person you like, go for it. Just ask him one day. Don't hold back. If you really like him, then it shouldn't matter what people think, especially if he likes you back. As for what other people might say, don't worry about them. It won't matter if you end up finding someone you really like. Even if you aren't sure he likes you back, try spending some time with him. Hang out with him, try to see what he feels. If you're lucky, you could have a chance. Just go out and try it. You have nothing to lose.

Sincerely,

Cherry

Sakura finished typing and stared at the screen. She read and reread all she wrote and then finally sent it to Ino. She wasn't going to put this one in the newspaper, it was a little to personal and she wouldn't know how Ino would react to seeing it in the newspaper, even if she was under a pen name.

Sakura sighed, she still had another email to read. She opened it up and began reading.

Dear Cherry,

What do you do when you're one of the most popular people in the school, have millions of fan girls, and you happen to like one girl out of the entire school who may not even be a fan girl? She's different, I don't know why. I haven't really met her that often but when I do see her, she just seems so perfect. I can't even explain it. This is definitely something I wouldn't do but I can't really tell anyone else about her. I would never live it down. She's...I don't know. I'm not sure if she's a fan girl but she's the one person I always see not surrounding me or chasing me throughout the school. I like her, but I don't know what to do about it. Her name is Sakura Haruno.

Please help me,

U.S
