DearSakuraX...
That is my username online, though it isn't to far off of my real name, Sakura Haruno.
I'm just you're average high school student for the most part. The only reason I'd ever stand out in a crowd is for my above average grades and ... dare I say it... my pink hair.
As I was saying though, being as average as I can be, I do enjoy many hours a week on the internet. It has only become increasingly worse for reason a chat site has become very popular around the school. You can only imagine why too. Not a single place to upload picture of yourself, not to say you couldn't still show someone, the only things to be judge upon is your username, age, gender and a small choice of a description.
So here I am, again, doing homework for an advanced class I decided to take for senior year. My laptop is opened to the 'Your Secret Chat Zone' as I browse through members to locate a pleasant person to chat with.
Sure, I'm well aware that there are 40 year old perverts and desperate teenagers on chat sites like these. I understand many people are looking for a quick sex experience from someone near them, but I must chance it like everyone else. I will say now I do my very best to avoid anyone to match that description. I refuse to communicate with anyone without some sort of respectable description or with sex in their username.
I continue to scroll through the member list, being very picky as usual. I have been looking at the endless amount of names for about 3 or 4 minutes when one finally catches my eye.
AngelsPurpleFlower. 18. Female.
I stop to read her description and find nothing about her, but instead a quote.
"Be yourself; Everyone else is already taken." -Oscar Wilde
Now needless to say this really grabs my attention. Time Time to make my move into a conversation, the hardest part. She has managed to get my attention with such a simple quote, now it is my turn to get her's. Everything I could say could say runs through my mind at a rate of 90 mph as I try to come up with all the ways she could respond.
Finally, I decide on something to type and I quickly punch it in before I have a chance to change my mind and rethink it.
DearSakuraX: Good evening. I really liked your quote and was wondering if I may hold a conversation with you?
I know it is a quite bit weird of a greeting, but I couldn't think of anything under the sudden pressure I felt.
I continue to stare at the computer screen in suspense. Will she talk to me? Will I even get a reply? What makes me think she would give me the time of day? All these questions made time slow to a stop and what was actually three minutes felt like thirty. I knew if I continued to stare the time would torture me so I turn away and began to do the rest of my homework. I only get into for about two minutes when I heard a ding to signal a reply to my message. The relief flooded over me, funny how something so simple can cause such torture to our bodies. So to continue the surge of relief I felt I quickly turned around to read the message I had just received.
AngelsPurpleFlower: Why thank you, and I would love to hold a conversation with you, Sakura. If I may call you that? :)
A smile overtook my lips as I read it and I replied as fast as my hands would allow me to type.
DearSakuraX: Of course you can. :D And is there anything you would like to be called?
AngelsPurpleFlower: Well I don't want to seem full of myself or stuck up, but since it is already in my username you call me Angel? Though I really don't think of myself as any type of angel.
I continue to grin at the cuteness of her response and how she begins to worry about how I will attempt to judge her.
DearSakuraX: I would gladly call you Angel.
With that I could tell this was going to become a lovely friendship.
A/N: I know it's not much but here is my first fanfiction ever. :D I really wanted to try a different approach to the SakuIno thing, there is just something about starting some kind of relationship online and not knowing what the other person looks like that really brings you closer to them. I'd love to hear you opinions, good and bad. I want to improve and make a story everyone will love. I just may need a little help haha. So please share if you kinda like where this is going or if I should change my story completely.
