Chapter 2

Envious For The Other Side

November 2

Dear Journal,

Today, I'm supposed to have a packed schedule. I'm not exactly sure WHAT I'll be doing, but I know that I might be able to see my other friends, plus I have all of that homework I was assigned today… Sigh…Its hard being a celebrity when you're really an average high school girl. I better expect bags under my eyes tomorrow morning. And I better have a decent excuse for Yuri and the others.

Miko-chan AKA Saku-chan

17-year-old Hokkaido Sumiko put down her journal on the coffee table when she heard her someone knock on her door. She put the blue gel pen back in her hair.

"Come in!" she yelled. In entered a woman that looked around twenty or thirty.

"Hey Tsunade-sama!" Sumiko said in a cheerful voice. Tsunade sat down in a chair across from Sumiko and smiled.

"Hello, Sumiko," Tsunade said.

"So, what's up for today?"

"Ask Shizune. She's the one with all of your plans," Tsunade said with a sigh. Sumiko giggled as she put her black and blue notebook in her camouflage messenger bag and sat up.

"Do your friends know your secret?" Tsunade asked. Sumiko sighed. This was like an everyday thing between Tsunade and Sumiko.

"No, Tsunade-sama, they don't. And I'm not going to tell them until I feel like it!" Sumiko exclaimed. It's true. Underneath Sumiko's black hair and brown eyes, is really the pink haired girl, Haruno Sakura with mesmerizing emerald eyes, that are hidden beneath black framed eyeglasses. Tsunade stood up and led Sumiko out the door, with her trailing behind. Just as they began walking, a young woman with short brown hair and black eyes came running up to Tsunade and Sumiko.

"Tsunade-sama! Sumiko-san!" she exclaimed. The two stopped walking and waited for Shizune.

"I…have…your…plans…all…set for today, Sumiko-san," she said. She was almost out of breath when she reached the superstar and her manager.

"Okay! So, what's up for today?" Sumiko exclaimed. Even though she wanted to go home and relax, she had to deal with her other life first.

"Well, you have to go to a photo shoot, then a recording, then a photo signing, and if we have time, you'll rehearse for your upcoming tour," Shizune listed off from the PDA in front of her. Sumiko sighed and gave her assistant a giggle. 'That's Shizune for you! Always organized and in a rush!' Sumiko thought.

"Well let's get going!" Sumiko exclaimed while punching her fist in the air. Tsunade sighed at her daughter like figure. 'She's been hanging around Ino too much, I can tell,' Tsunade thought. The three girls headed outside of the building they were in and into the limo that was waiting for them.

"Konichiwa, Kakashi-sensei!" Sumiko exclaimed. She had been referring to her chauffeur, Hatake Kakashi. The reason why she uses the horrific –sensei with her chauffeur is because before Sumiko met Tsunade, Kakashi had been training her for upcoming martial arts tournaments.

"Where are we going today, Sumiko-san?" Kakashi asked. Sumiko gave him an exasperated sigh and then punched him playfully on the arm.

"You know exactly where I'm going. Anko-sensei told you, remember?" Sumiko said with a wink. This made Kakashi blushed while he opened the door for Sumiko, Tsunade, and Shizune. 'Today's gonna be a long day…and I have a feeling that Yuri-chan is going to keep calling Sakura's phone all throughout my day,' Sumiko thought with an exasperated sigh. She placed her chin on her hand and stared out at the window, watching all of the regular teen girls living normal lives. 'If only my life were like that. Then I would have nothing to worry about. But then again, this is what I wanted. So I got it and this is the price I pay,' Sumiko thought. She wondered what her friends' expressions were going to be when she told them that she was Hokkaido Sumiko. She sighed and continued to stare out the window. 'They're just as much of fan girls as everyone else is. If I told them, then they would probably start acting different around me,' Sumiko thought. That's when the Sakura side of Sumiko remembered the promise she and her friends made in sixth grade.

Flashback

12-year-old Sakura was just about to leave the school building, when she heard running footsteps. She turned around and saw 11-year-old Yuri, and some other friends.

"Sakura-neechan! Wait up!" Yuri yelled from afar. Sakura giggled at her best friend and waited patiently for her.

"Where do you think you're going, Saku-chan?" Sakura looked behind Yuri and saw 11-year-old Hamada Kasumi walking behind.

"I was just about to go home," Sakura said.

"Are you sure you weren't going to bid Sasuke goodbye?" Yuri said slyly. Sakura started to turn a pale pink.

"Stop it, Yuri-chan! You're embarrassing poor Saku-chan!" yelled 11-year-old Yoshida Izumi, Kasumi's cousin. She hit Yuri upside of the head, and Sakura giggled quietly. It always amused her, how her friends can act so cheerful at all the right times.

"Well, how about we make a promise, since we're all friends?" Sakura asked, while breaking up Izumi's fight with Yuri.

"What is this promise going to be about, Sakura?" Yuri asked.

"I was thinking about something that had to do with not keeping all of our secrets from each other," Sakura said happily.

"Okay! We promise not to hide anything from each other!" Kasumi exclaimed proudly.

End of Flashback

'I had to break that promise, because I can't tell them that I'm Hokkaido Sumiko. They're just going to react differently,' Sumiko thought sadly. Tsunade noticed her apprentice's silence and decided to see what was wrong.

"You've been too quiet, Sumiko-san. Anything wrong?" Tsunade asked with concern.

"Sumiko's fine. It's Sakura that has a problem," Sumiko said in a mean tone.

"Well, let me restate the question. Anything on your mind, Sakura?" Tsunade asked.

"It's just…how am I supposed to tell my friends that I'm Hokkaido Sumiko? I always think that they're going to start acting differently around me!" Sakura exclaimed. Tsunade looked at her apprentice with concern. She knew how hard it was for Sakura to conceal her secret from the rest of the world. And that included her friends.

"Well, this is what I asked for, and now I have to pay the consequences," Sakura said, going back to Sumiko mode. 'I wish I could help you, Sakura. I really do,' Tsunade thought sadly.

Sakura-Chan: Awww...Poor Sakura...She has to deal with being Sumiko when her friends don't even know...Look out for the next chapter! Ja ne!
