Sakura drove into the parking lot of Cranberry's coffee shop. She normally doesn't drink coffee, but this is a good time to break the rules. Sakura could see Ino's purple BMW in the parking spot close to the door. I can't believe she still likes that color. Sakura smiled for the first time today. It felt nice to smile again. But as she was smiling, she could see a blue corvette with the Uchiha crest embedded on the side. Oh god, PLEASE don't let it be Sasuke. I can't deal with seeing him again. Sakura watched the car intently, wondering who was going to come out. To her surprise, a very striking man walked out of the door. He had the same eyes as Sasuke, deep brown with a hint of black. He had lines under his eyes, probably because he doesn't get enough rest. His jet black hair was tied into a ponytail. The clothes he wore were very unusual. (Almost as unusual as her pink hair.) He was wearing a black coat with red and white clouds all over it. Oh yea! There was some group of troublemakers in the high school…I think they were called Akatsuki or something. The man was the only one to exit the car. He gave Sakura a look in the eyes. Sakura's face flushed bright red, and the purse she was trying to pick up from the passenger seat fell and all of the contents spilled out. The man smirked, and walked into the coffee shop. I'm such a klutz when it comes to guys! Sakura thought to herself, while hurriedly picking up her purse and zipping the last of the spilled contents inside.
"Hey Sakura!"
Ino was waving madly. She was sitting at their regular booth whenever Sakura had a problem. Sakura hurried over to the booth and sat down. She had just spotted the same guy that gave her a look and made her loose her cool. Brushing the pink hair out of her blushing face, Sakura looked at Ino.
Ino is someone that Sakura has been envious of ever since they met. She has blonde hair, one side of it put to the right of her cheek and the other in a ponytail. Her green eyes were way greener than Sakura's, and there was always a hint of mischief that could be spotted in Ino's pupils. The fact was; she liked gossip. Ino was the gossip queen in all the land. She would know something about you that you probably haven't discovered yet. Sakura could never figure out how that worked, but she just kept her mouth shut.
Sakura and Ino, when they were 12, always fought over who loves Sasuke more. Ino tried to seduce Sasuke with her good looks, and Sakura attracted Sasuke's attention by her personality and her smarts. Sakura did win the fight, so Ino just moved on and was happy for her. But in the end, it seems that neither of them could win Sasuke. I hope he's having a wonderful time with Karin!
Ino snapped her fingers, "Hey forehead! Come back to earth!" Sakura jolted out of her brain and remembered that she was here for advice, not to daydream.
"Oh, yea. Sorry about that Ino. I was just thinking about...well…." Sakura started to tear up.
"Sakura…Its ok. There, there."
Ino tried to comfort her friend to the best of her ability.
"It's ok. Just tell me everything that happened."
Sakura nodded her head, and told Ino of what Sasuke said to her, and how she pleaded desperately. A few more rivers protruded out of Sakura's eyes as if they were endless.
"That was just terrible of him, Sakura,"
Ino said finally after Sakura began to calm herself down.
"You deserve so much better. And when that time comes, you will get such a wonderful boyfriend that you will just tilt your head and say, Sasuke who? Just don't think about him. He was being selfish and immature."
Sakura wiped her eyes. They were now all puffy and red, but her heavy breathing slowly began to calm down.
"Thank you…Ino." Sakura's voice was all cracked, but she felt ten times better.
"Anytime Forehead."
Ino gave a huge smile. She then looked down at her purple watch.
"Oh god! Is that the time?! Man, I'm late for work! Sorry I have to go Sakura. Feel better or else!"
Ino ran out the door. Sakura smiled as her best friend was frantically trying to get to work on time. That's Ino for you.
