Part I - Y. Ino
She was at it again; spreading anti-me messages on the social web. This time, it's an issue of '(expletive), this is the first time's I've seen someone trying so hard to copy me!' She sounded jealous and insecure -instead of mocking frustration, the impression she wanted to make- to my ears. She was none other than the school's most hated personalities; although no one would dare to say that to her boring face. I mean, look at what she's doing to me -or more specifically, my reputation- now; of course no one would want to be in my Christian Louboutin heels! She would be Haruno Sakura.

I awoke at 11 in the morning, and my first thought? "Who's calling at such an ungodly hour?" (Though technically, it's already late -très late- to be considered morning. But it still is, so who's going to correct me?) My Mani-pedicured hand hovered in the general direction of where my blackberry is. That's when my second thought hit me: "What if it's Daddy?"
That got me perking up like the hyper, cherry blond I am. I couldn't wait for Daddy to return; he promised me the latest Juicy Couture purse. Turns out, it was another A-list wannabe. Not that she'll ever get there, being a cheerleader offers only that much, B-Lister at most.
I wrinkled my 'adorable button nose' in distaste but answered in a saccharine sweet voice; a pretense that worked well -seeing as this elevated my status from A-Lister to Queen of the school.
"Ino, you have got to hear this juuuuuicy gossip; Sakura has been..." and I let her drone on. Insert a few background noise of agreement, disapproval or shock, and the illusion is complete. I've already heard of the 'juuuuuicy gossip'. I mean, anyone with eyes -hell, ears even if they're blind- would have read the message.
"(expletive), this is the first time's I've seen someone trying so hard to copy me!"
It gets better: "Maybe your Queen Pig isn't worth much!"

At St. Leaves Academy, we are the leading bunch in all niche areas. We have everything. The future, looks, wealth, fame and the list goes on. However, we are also human. Besides the good side of 'everything', scandals, dirty secrets and the like does not delude us. Nor are we deluded of having them.
A/N:
(i) I don't like writing in 1st person, because it feels weird to take on someone else's personality. Reviews, please! Pocky?
(ii) Basically, this is the start of 'Queen Bee' war between Sakura and Ino. Sakura posted on some social network that Ino is only a copycat, because Ino copies Sakura's fashion styles (in Sakura's opinion). Sakura wants to bring down Ino, as Ino is her rival for 'Queen Bee' status.
