Of Festivals and Fantasies
"Why do I even have to go?" I muttered.
I was busy trying to figure out why I was going to the annual fall festival while my blonde haired friend Ino dressed herself.
"Sakura, you have to go! It'll be no fun without you!" Ino exasperated, pulling up her hair and clipping it into place.
I rolled my eyes. "You'll ditch me once you see a hot guy..." I muttered, placing my face in my hand.
"What? Of course not Billboard Brow!" she exclaimed, adding finishing touches to her look.
I sighed. She was definitely going to ditch me, and I would be left alone for hours on hand until she decided that she was done flirting with guys. It was the same every year, and it was a continuous cycle.
"Neh, Sakura, does this look alright?" she asked, turning towards me, letting me get a full view of her outfit.
She was wearing a baby blue kimono with white flowers decorating the material, and a white oobi and sash. She looked so pretty and beautiful.
"You look gorgeous, Ino, like usual," I reasoned.
She smiled. "Great, now it's time to get you dressed and ready!"
I shook my head. "For the last time, I'm not going to this stupid festival Ino! Festivals just aren't my cup of tea! Nothing good ever happens for me."
And it was true. Last time I went I was on the ferris wheel, and some kid puked, and guess where it landed? On my head, and the year before that I fell in a big puddle of mud, face first, embarrassing myself in front of the guy I liked. Horrible wasn't it?
"You need to go! You have to or...I'll tell the whole entire school about how you got your tounge stuck to a piece of ice in 7th grade, and had to go to the doctor to get it removed!" she slyly threatened.
I froze. "You wouldn't dare."
"Watch me," she stated.
We stared down at each other until finally I gave in.
I sighed. "Fine, I'll go, but this is the last time I am ever doing this..." I mumbled.
She grinned. "Alrighty! Now lets get you into that pretty little kimono of yours."
She handed me a plastic bag, and pushed me into her bathroom. "Hurry up and change, so I can finish your look!" she ordered.
I rolled my eyes at her. It was funny how I could be so patient with her, but yet she doesn't have the time to be patient for me.
I unzipped the plastic bag to reveal a pink sparkly kimono with a darker shade of pink oobi. I gradually pulled on the kimono and oobi, looking at myself as I finshed dressing.
I didn't look right in a kimono like Ino did. Ino could pull off the look, but I couldn't. I was more of a t-shirt and jeans kind of girl. I wasn't like my gorgeous best friend who could make any guy fall for her in anything she wore. Hell, I can barely even make a guy take a glance at me with the way I look. My forehead slightly large, and not as skinny and curvy as other girls, and dressing up in plain, baggy looking clothes because I don't think I look good. And everytime I would try, and make myself look a little better I would always feel like a washed out imitation of Ino. And that would feel horrible.
I sighed and walked out of the bathroom towards Ino.
Ino gasped. "You look so pretty, Sakura!" she shrieked.
I gave her a glare. "Ino shut up, you're gonna give the neighbors a heart attack!"
"Oh, lighten up Sakura! Tonight is gonna be fine! It'll probably be a night you won't forget! You might even meet the most gorgeous boy on Earth, and get him to like you!" she fantasized.
I giggled. "Ino, you're such a dreamer!"
She smiled, and shrugged. "Hey, you can't blame me for being imaginative! Now, let's get your hair and face fixed up now!"
I sat down in front of Ino, and turned toward the gleaming mirror that reflected my image. As she began to fix my hair my mind wandered to my childhood fantasies that Ino had stirred up from within me. What she had said about meeting the most gorgeous boy on Earth reminded me of my fantasy I had a long time ago.
I once had imagined when I was 6 having a perfect prince to come and whisk me away, leaving all my fears and worries behind. I thought that maybe he would come, and make me feel like a princess, and give me attention that I never gotten from my family and friends. I thought that maybe he would be my hero, and rescue me from my doubts, and make me believe in myself.. even if it was just a little. I always wanted that to happen to me. I wanted to feel like a Cinderella, but somethings will never come true.
"Sakura~! Turn and face me so I can apply make-up!" Ino ordered, getting rather agitated.
I shivered, and asked, "Do I really have to wear all that goop on my face?"
She narrowed her eyes at me. "Yes, you do. Now hold still!"
I held my place as she began to add foundation to my face.
"Ne, Ino?" I asked.
"Yeah?" she replied.
"What one of your fantasies do you want to come true?" I asked curiously.
She then abruptly stood up, and yelled, "A planet where only hot guys lived, and then I would go and visit them with my rocketship, and have them worship me!"
My eyes widened, and I started laughing. "You.. must be... on drugs.. Ino! I swear!" I spoke in between laughs.
She pouted. "I'm not though," she stated then crossed her arms.
I controlled my laughter, and finally let Ino continue to apply make-up.
My mind wandered off to fantasies once more, and I wondered if the most gorgeous guy on Earth would actually be there, and maybe he would actually fall for me... I hoped that maybe...
I could get my perfect, wonderful prince.
So finish or not?
I have some other ideas to write about too! I'll put up some summaries on my profile, and have people vote on which one I should write next later!
Review Plz! Thank you!
