She's in for a surprise

Get packing

Sakura's little dancing chicken danced up and down. She slowly lifted her head and groaned, but only for a second. Minutes later she was all dressed and downstairs making breakfast for the family. She fed the family dog and made sure all the plants in the house were watered. She looked over her younger sister's homework and after leaving a post it with "good job" on it, she was out the door with more than enough time to get to school and still check over her own homework before class for the fifth time. That was her typical morning. But, Fate has decided today she would change Sakura's life.

"Sakura?" Mrs. Haruno called to her daughter just as Sakura was about to step off the driveway.

"Good morning Mom! Did you need something?" Sakura's mother was never usually up this early due to her job that almost always kept her late at the pharmacy.

"I need to talk to you dear, please come inside."

"But, mom," Sakura glanced at her watch…she couldn't afford to have a blemish on her perfect attendance. "I'm going to be late. Can't we talk about it later, when I get home after school?" She was slowly walking backwards getting ready to sprint the moment her mother consented to talking to her later. However, what she heard instead made her step in her mom's petunias and trip over the rake on the floor. She fell to the floor and felt pain, but only just enough to let her know she wasn't dreaming.

"Honey, your school isn't expecting you anymore. From tomorrow on you'll be attending Konoha High School."

Sakura got up from her usual bed, because of her usual alarm clock. She did her usual routine, the breakfast, the dog, and the plants. But instead of her being the only one up at the ungodly time of 5 a.m., the house was in total chaos and Sakura was in the middle of it.

Sakura's older sister: "Sakura, where do you usually keep all the things to make breakfast?"

Sakura: "In the kitchen."

Sakura's older sister: "What's that?"

Sakura's oldest sister: "Sakura did you get all of your extra clothes and your new uniforms and the pink under…"

Sakura: "YES!"

Sakura's mom: "Remember to always write ok dear? You can a-mail us!"

Sakura: "That's e-mail mom."

Sakura's dad: "Boys are bad!"

Sakura: "I know, actually, it's really interesting how your philosophy and mother's is completely different. You insist that I stay away from boys and mom tries so hard to find me one."

Sakura's dad: "Huh?"

Sakura: sigh "Never mind"

She heaved a big sigh as she watched her family in what looked like an upheaval of the whole house. Who would have thought they would go through all the trouble just for her. At the thought, she smiled.

The whole family stepped outside to see her off as Iruka-sensei came to pick her up.

Iruka-san had been a friend of the family for a few months now, ever since Iruka had moved into the small town and got saved by Sakura's father, thus surviving a would-be fatal accident with only a scar across the bridge of his nose, to remember that day. Ever since then, he had made a promise to himself to repay the family back. The chance finally came when he told them a month later that he was actually a teacher at the infamous Konohana High School. This high school was known all throughout Japan as one the leading high schools in the nation. The school produced nothing short of the best students, and if those things don't convince you, this is the school's motto: "If they come from us, they also come with a 100 satisfaction guarantee!"

Sakura's father had always wanted his daughters, to attend the infamous high school, but he was never able to collect enough money to send any of his daughters there. Though he was very proud of his two older daughters, nothing could hinder his beliefs that Konoha High School was the best there was! His last chance was for Sakura, and after Iruka-san offered to pull some strings and get her into the school for the fall as a new junior, he just couldn't let it slip away. He accepted and prayed that sending his daughter to a foreign place, with people who weren't "like" her, was the right decision.

Sakura placed her bags in Iruka-sensei's trunk and turned back to her family. Her mom was in tears, her oldest sister was comforting her mom, her older sister was taking millions upon millions of pictures (the memories freak), and her father never looked so proud, yet in his eyes he had a worried look. Sakura stepped up to her father and hugged him.

"I promise everyone here that I will do my best and make everyone proud." Mr. Haruno hugged his daughter and then whispered, "Remember hunny, you are a good person, and no matter how different you are from everyone else, you have to be yourself." Sakura didn't understand what he meant by different, but smiled at his words. A loud bawl came from Sakura's mother as she came running over to the little huddle…along with two other bawling ladies.

"Ahem…" Iruka-sensei cleared his throat reluctantly. "Time to go Sakura-san. You don't want to miss the opening ceremony." Sakura's family went to stand by the door again. She looked up at her house one more time. No more coming home after school to the sound of her dad cooking, or the neighborhood boys wanting her to play tag with them. She stepped into the car, got into an unfamiliar vehicle that would take her to an unfamiliar place, but what will eventually be her new home. A brighter future was what was supposed to lie ahead. She'll miss is all, but in the end it would have to be worth ...or else I'm suing the damn school for that misleading motto of theirs.
