Chapter 1- Sakura Haruno
Vibrant jade orbs flattered open to the morning sun that peered through the tinted glass windows that made up eighty percent of the apartment, the apartment had three bedrooms yet the place itself was decorated in a simple manor with just the basics in the lounge and kitchen and the two guest bedrooms having just beds and a nightstand on either side with an empty closet for guests to make themselves comfortable, the main bed room also was very simple yet had and elegant touch to the room with a bed and nightstands in the middle of the room and a closet to the left and a bathroom to the right, oh yes it was a very simple penthouse apartment in the upper sector of japan where only the rich and famous could afford to live. It was the last day of summer before School could claim yet another year of every teen life.
Sakura Haruno a seventeen year old pink haired beauty rubbed her eyes to try and wipe the sleep from her eyes yet to no avail she turned to her clock which lay on her Cherrywood nightstand that read 6:00am. Sakura groaned and threw off her blanket and immediately shivered and cursed at herself for not turning of the AC before she fell asleep last night, brushing the though aside she got out of bed and made her way to her bathroom located to the far right of her room, her bathroom just like the rest of the apartment was nothing special with a light pink wallpaper with cherry blossoms printed on, sakura pulled open the door and yawned while making her way to the sink when she got to the destination she began to brush her teeth when she walked over to her shower cubicle and turned on the shower, undressed and quickly stepped into the hot water that greeted her with comfort, she had a quick shower and got out wrapping a towel around herself her walked over to her closet and pulled out a baby blue tank top with a set of navy blue leggings and a pair of camel brown sandals to match, she then walked over to her dresser and brushed her hair into a high ponytail, looking in the mirror and satiftisfied with what she saw she walked out her room to the kitchen to be greeted by ayame her housekeeper who was busy at the stove humming a peaceful tune while she cooked, ayame was a kind hearted short lady with brown eyes and chocolate brown shoulder length hair that she always kept in a tight bun, she was like a mother figure to sakura who was sakura's nanny before she was her house keepre who always treated her like a second daughter since ayame had two sons and a daughter of her own.
"Good morning sakura sama" the old middle aged women greeted.
'Good morning ayame and how many times do I have to tell you not to call me sama, we are more like family considering you were the one to raise me" sakura insisted
The middle aged women just smiled and went back to preparing breakfast while sakura took a seat at the kitchen counter, after a few minutes ayame set down a bowl of rice with fried egg with green tea.
It was just then that sakura"s phone began to ring, picking it up sakura listened intently to the person on the other line and answered with an okay before cutting the call. Sighing sakura placed the phoned on the kitchen counter and picked up a set of chopsticks and began to eat at a hurried pace,
"is everything okay sakura?" ayame questioned worriedly
"yes ayame, everything is alright that was just jin down at the center, he said that the soup kitchen times have been made a little earlier due to it being the last day if summer and the fact the most of us have school tomorrow" sakura stated.
"Speaking of school, your mother said that she would be sending your new school uniform later on today"
Sakura just sighed and got up from her seat "I don't understand why my mother is so insistent that I attend this god forsaken school, I mean I don't see what I wrong with going to a public high school"
"Yeah well you need to remember the agreement you have made with your mother sakura, she expects you to uphold your end of the deal" ayame cautiously said.
By then sakura was already at the front door "yeah I know, I just wish I had more time to be a normal teenage girl" she sighed "anyway I'm off, see you later".
Exiting her apartment building and waking her way down town to the good hope charity center where sakura had made friends and spent most of her summer helping out and just being a normal teen with not obligations or responsibilities, fifteen minutes later sakura had arrived at her destination, she saw her friend jin in the cafeteria dishing bowls of broth for the teens and homeless that come to the center to get off the streets and out of trouble
"Hey jin" sakura greeted
"Hey girl, sorry about calling you in early but I needed help since everyone else is off busy doing god knows what" jin apologized
"It's okay, you know I love spending time here with you guys" sakura admitted
Cause in all honesty sakura enjoyed her time at the center, it was her way of getting away from life and just being a normal teen even if I was hanging out with street people and orphans, it thought sakura that even though these people didn't have homes they were still happy to have a plate of food on their table and friends that they could count on and that is all that matter to them, sakura learnt that the best things in life money and power could never buy cause those things came for free.
After a long day at the center sakura decided that she would take a walk to reminisce over how this summer had turned out, initially sakura had decided to just stay home and mope around her apartment but instead she found herself exploring the neighborhood and standing in front of a community center called good hope, sakura would have never gone in if it wasn't for jin who asked her if she was hungry and wanted to get some soup with her, since sakura had no friends she decided why not make a few, and that's how she found herself at the center every day.
Sakura sighed as she thought about the events that had taken place not realizing that she was already at her apartment door' she snapped out of her trans and rang the door bell immeditaly ayame opened the door with a cheerful smile "welcome back sakura, your mother has sent your uniform for tomorrow I have set it in your room" ayame said sakura smiled back knowing fully well why ayame was in such a good mood "I take it yahiro was the one to drop my uniform off" sakura laughed and said, yahiro is ayame's husband and he also works for sakura, well sakura's mother to be exact, for as long as sakura can remember ayame and yahiro have been employed by her mother but due to him always having to be avialable to sakura's mothers every beck and call ayame hardly gets to see her husband, so to sakura they were family without a blood bond of any sort.
Sakura was so deep in thought that she didn't even notice ayame had already left for the day, sakura sighed and thought to herself that she had been sighing a lot lately but brushed it off and headed for her bathroom, once done sakura slipped into a set of lime green shorty pajamas and walked ober to her bed where her new uniform lay, she pulled of the plastic cover and took a look at the outfit in hand, she then tossed it to the side and pulled over her blanket and got into bed, she lay in bed thinking about what would happen at school tomorrow and what was her mother up to and with that sakura fell asleep with one final though… summer has finally come to an end.
