This is my new story. I will not give up on it. If I get enough support, I'll continue. I have a whole entire series planed out. It was inspired by Gossip Girl so part of the plot is un-original. Sorry. Otherwise, enjoy.
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or Gossip Girl.
Hello all. My name is Luxurious and I'll be your guide into lives of wonderful people.
We may not be wonderful on the inside, but we sure are on the outside.
Welcome to Konoha's Upper West side, where my friends and I reside. We live, play, sleep, shop, and pretty much do whatever we want. We are the kind of people who were born with enough money to last us our whole entire life without having to work at all. We can pretty much just spend money to our hearts content and never worry about running out or an allowance.
Some say we have it all. We don't but we're pretty damn close. You may try to downsize us by saying that we're normal people just like you, but just happen to have way more money--a word of advice, that doesn't work. We have great looks, outstanding grades, and all the money we want. What more do you want?
Of course, we all take it for granted. When I was ten I learned how to use my mommy's debit card. All that was just one "normal" step in my growing up. Everyone around here--who has money--does the same. It's not a privilage, it's a way of life.
You see, we are kind of like a play. You all see the act we put on, but not what's behind the curtain.
And I'm here to tell you what happens behind that curtain.
-NEWS-
A pink-haired girl was seen exiting Konoha central airport. Cherry's back!?! Her days in boarding school over???
Cherry-- Her mom decided to start sending her to boarding school in the middle of Freshman year. Cherry's the type of girl who has everything, and more! I wonder what she did to get kicked out? What's Piggy going to say about her return?
All in all, we know that because Cherry's back, drama will be three times as plentiful. It makes my job a lot easier.
The One And Only,
Luxurious
Sakura took a deep breath of the polluted air she had missed so much...
She was back.
Ino scanned the long table boredly. The usual families' brunch wasn't that exciting. She hated the fact that her parents made her attend every week. It was so annoying. Even if her boyfriend, Sasuke Uchiha, was at every one. Ino sighed and rested her head in her hands recieving a glare from her mother because her elbows were on the table. Sighing yet again, she removed her elbows and boredly began to pick at the salad in front of her. She was trying to eat lean so she could lose a couple pounds-- like she needed to.
The whole Yamanaka family was the same. Skinny and blonde with blue eyes. It was strange to see a Yamanaka even one pound overweight. Ino just followed tradition with her small and slender figure. But still, she was always weight-obsessed. If she couldn't fit into the dress she'd worn in eight grade, she needed to lose weight.
A grandfather clock rang in the background. It was probably noon by now. Ino was getting restless, as she always did during these brunches. She scanned the crowd, wondering who she should strum up a conversation with. Sasuke was all the way on the other side of the long dinning table, with his family. Hinata Hyuuga and her cousin, Neji, were also on that side. It seemed as if Neji as Sasuke were having a glaring competition--completely normal.
Shino Aburame, Kiba Inuzuka, Chouji Akimichi, and Shikamaru Nara were sitting adjacent her. They weren't cool enough to talk to. Hell, Shino and Shikamaru barely talked while Kiba was loud and all Chouji talked about was food. Chouji could ruin anyones diet.
Naruto Uzumaki and his half-sister Tenten, were sitting across from her. Tenten was a really cool senoir at her school but she seemed too preoccupied with a message on her cell phone. Ino noticed that Naruto had his out too, and that the blonde was grinning madly at the screen.
"Naruto, what's up?" Ino asked being the nosy girl she was.
"I know a secret." He taunted childishly and caught the attention of the rest of the side of the table.
"Well, you can tell us, right?" Ino asked. She was a gossip queen.
"Nope." He said and childishly crossed his arm. Tenten hit him on the head.
"Stop acting so immature." Tenten said and returned to her texting.
"Yeah Naruto, listen to your sister, stop being immature and tell us." Ino half-whispered across the table.
Naruto looked left, then right, as if to check if the coast was clear.
"Okay, okay. S-" Naruto was cut off when a butler opened the door to the Hyuuga's dinning room. There in all her Headmistress-ly glory stood Tsunade.
"Sorry we're late. Someone just had to miss their flight." The room fell silent. We're?
Tsunade stepped in and revealed the only girl in history that had pink hair and still held the top spot on the popularity ladder. Sakura Haruno.
The whole room fell silent. Sakura was like that. Almost everywhere she went, she could captivate the audiences of any room she stumbled upon. She was a Goddess.
At school, she had a knack for getting in trouble. It helped that her aunt was Tsunade, the famous medical specialist and Headmistress of Konoha Upper West Prep. It guaranteed her slack off with punishments.
During the middle of freshman year she was sent off to boarding school leving Ino to run the grade. Of coarse, Ino was sad at first but she loved the fact that she was in charge, not second in command.
And there she was. Sakura Haruno, greeting all the parents as if she was their best friend. As if they gave her the same the respect as an adult deserved. As if they thought of her as the whole freshman year did. Ino would not stand this!
Ino's rage intensified when her ex-bestfriend planted a kiss on her boyfriends cheek. It was a harmless kiss to everyone else but to Ino, it was an all out declaration of war. And a full on battle Sakura would get.
After noticing she was the only one still sitting at the long dinning table, Ino got up and reluctantly strolled over to the girl she'd broken away from.
Sakura seemed overjoyed to see her, seeing as she practically jumped on the blond.
"Ino it's been sooo long! I can't wait 'till we go out like we used to! I can't beleived you've changed soo much!" Another thing Ino hated about Sakura. Her voice was so melodic. It was the song Ino had always wanted to sing, and Sakura sang it perfectly.
"I know." Ino said with a fake tune of intrest. She and Sakura made eye-contact. Sakura's emerald eyes gleemed with a mischievous glint, as they always did.
Sakura was right, Ino had changed. Her hair was blonder, she was taller, her blue eyes were embedded with seduction. She had a whole sense of arrogance radiating off her. It's what happens when you suddenly become the most popular girl in your grade.
"So what's been happening?" Sakura asked Ino after she had a maid bring a chair up right next to Ino.
"Nothing much." Ino said, paying more attention to her salad rather than the girl next to her.
"Cool." Sakura said. Ino knew Sakura was waiting for her to asked what had happened but Ino wasn't going to let her have that satisfaction.
After a long silence Sakura tried to rekindle their conversation.
"I have sooo many stories to tell you!" She excitedly said and shifted her body so she was squarely facing Ino.
"Cool." Ino mimicked and just zoned out as Sakura began her tales from boarding school. Ino was more interested in the rumors floating around the "kid's" section. The ones about how Sakura had been shamefully kicked out of boarding school and the only private school in the fire country that would accept her was Konoha Upper West Prep because her aunt was Tsunade. That made her happy.
All Ino knew, was that if she wanted to hold her top spot in the popularity ladder this year, she'd have to put up a hell of a fight. She was not about to let Sakura win this little war.
