Okay, so I noticed these chapters are pretty long so from now on they have to be over 3000 words, which might put a delay on chapters coming out as quickly as they have. But the fact there so short bugs me.
Okay, so just remember to Review. Thanks and Bye!!
She slowly got out of the tub and wrapped herself in a fuzzy warm towel. (YAY FUZZY WARM TOWELS!!!!) She dried herself off and walked out of the bathroom to change into some pajama bottoms and a tank top, she walked back into the bathroom and cleaned up abit. She looked at herself in the mirror and saw someone she didn't really reconize looking back. "Who am I anymore?" She asked herself. "Your simply not who you used to be." Another voice responded. "I hate it." She told herself turning her back on the mirror and pulling on a black hoodie before walking downstairs to the dining room.
The next day...(cause trust me, dinner was incredibly uneventful everytime I tryed to write it. ( )
Sakura woke up to the sound of waves, and the bright sun shining directly on her face. "Go away world." Sakura moaned rolling onto her back and right off the bed. "AHH THE SHEETS ARE TRYING TO STRANGLE ME!" She screamed, rolling around in an attempt to untangle herself from the sheets. She finally succeeded after multiple attempts. She stood up, brushing herself off and turning to look at her alarm clock. "Fudgesicles it's only 6:40" She groaned. She was told she had to be at the mall by 10, but she didn't need this much time to get ready. She knew she wouldn't be able to fall asleep again so instead decided she would get an early start and make breakfast for the intire family. "Cause i'm the greatest daughter to ever live!" She joked to herself walking towards her closet and swinging the doors open. She walked towards the back of the closet and found her iPod speakers. She plugged them in and turned on Candy Man by Aqua. "Woot!" She shouted jumping around the closet looking for something to wear. (This is what I do every morning. Teehee, except I don't fit in my closet unless I were to sit on the top shelf :( That makes me sad.) She finally found a black polo and white skirt with matching black and white striped leg and arm warms. "Yes I love looking like a freak from the 80's!" She exclaimed walking into the bathroom to have a quick shower and get ready. (Hair, makeup blah blah blah.)
She descended the stairs into the kitchen and started pulling out the ingrediants to make breakfast. She started to attempt cracking the eggs but everytime she tryed shell would always get into them. She ended up just getting frustrated and threw the whole egg idea out the window...litterally. She decided she would just make sure there was coffee and set out all the cereal and bowls. "I am awesome." She declared taking a seat and pouring herself some cereal.
"Oh wow Sakura, your up early. It's only 8 o'clock." A male voice pointed out from the doorway. "Oh hey Dave." (That's her stepdads name b.t.w) "Yeah well after my sheets failed assasination attempt on me I couldn't fall back asleep in fear that they'd try again." She explained with a small smile on her face at the thought of a pair of bed sheets actually trying to kill her. "Oh I see." Dave said with a raised eyebrow walking over to the coffee maker and pouring himself a cup. "Sakura, what are you doing down here so early?" Sakuras mom asked taking a seat across from Sakura. "Sheets attacked me." She explained again. She finished her cereal and took the bowl to the dishwasher.
"Um mom, i'm supposed to go to the mall today with a few of my friends I met on the beach yesturday, so I'm going to need money, you know for "back to school" stuff." Sakura asked turning to face her family.
"Oh hunny! You were making friends, I'm so proud of you!" Her mom exclaimed as if she were a four year old after her first day of kindergarten. "Of course you can have money." Her mom finished walking over to her purse and opening her wallet. Sakura followed and her mom turned around with a visa card in hand.
"You know your limit." Her mom said, patting Sakuras shoulder. That had to be one of the only good qualities Sakuras mom had, her willingness to trust Sakura no matter how many times she had broken it...which happened quite abit in New York and she was sure would happen quite abit here too. "Thanks Mommy!" She exclaimed giving her mom a kiss on the cheek and skipping past her mom and out of the kitchen. As soon as she was out of the kitchen she let out a deep breath. "Never acting that fake again, seriously if I ever meet someone who actually acts like that i'll probably kill myself." She thought to herself just as she was walking past her youngest step sister. "Good Morning Sakura!" She exclaimed happily skipping past Sakura and into the kitchen where she overhead her say "Good morning daddykins!". "Of course I spoke too soon." Sakura laughed to herself as she walked back up to her room her music still blaring from earlier. She looked at the clock and say it was 9:20 now and that she would be able to leave soon. She grabbed her car keys and her cell phone and shoved it into her cute panda bear backpack with her wallet and makeup. She walked out the front door and headed to the garage.
When Sakura got to the mall she saw that almost everyones car looked the same here. Actually almost everyone practically looked the same, dressed the same, wore there hair the same. It was kinda creepy in her opinion but she was happy that she would never have to worry about not being able to find her big black jeep with pink flowers on the hood. It certainly stood out from everyone elses that was for sure. "Sakura!" a girl with midnight blue hair screamed running over to Sakura who had just gotten out of the car. "Hey Hinata!" She shouted back running towards the girl. "Where's everyone else" Sakura asked. "They're already shopping, I told them we'd meet up with them as soon as you got here." Hinata explained pulling Sakura towards the large doors of the mall. "This place is huge..." Sakura said under her breath looking around as Hinata continued pulling her through the large crowds of girls and boys. "I think there In FCUK, but they might have already left for U.O." She said looking into a store and quickly running down to the other side of the mall. "Wow, is that like...mall code or something?" Sakura asked. She had only really shopped in Hot Topic up until now, but she really wanted to expand her wardrobe. Hinata giggled abit at Sakuras comment. "Not silly, there stores." She explained pulling Sakura into an even bigger store then the one from before.
"Oh there you are Hinata!" Temari shouted running over to the two of them. "TenTen and Ino went to Wetseal, but I thought Sakura might like this store abit more." Temari explain smiling at Sakura. "Thanks, but I only ever really shopped at one store before so, I don't really know how to shop at other stores..like I don't really know whats in or anything." Sakura said quietly looking at the ground feeling kind of embaressed. "WHAT!" Screamed another voice she reconised as Inos'. "We need to help this poor girl." Ino told the others and they all split up running around putting together outfits leaving a poor confused Sakura standing in the middle of unknown territory. "I am so confused." She thought to herself walking over to a chair and sitting down.
"Hey Sakura!" A deep voice said from above her, one she reconised to be Narutos'. "Hey Naruto." She greeted him back with a smile. "They're kinda scary when they get into shopping mode." He explained sitting down next to her. "Yeah, I told them I had only ever shopped at one store before, and they freaked..as you can see." Sakura told him pointing towards Ino who was climbing pretty much on a wall in an attempt to reach a really cute short sleeve dress. Sakura let out a sad sigh, which Naruto clearly could tell was a sigh of sadness.
"Something the matter Sake?" He asked, throwing in a little nickname.
"No it's nothing, just bored. I think this store has alot of cute stuff, I just don't think I can wear it." She told him, hoping he wouldn't press on the issue to much. She didn't want to explain to a guy she had just met that she had a few suicidal tendencys.
"And why's that, I mean if you think your fat i'll probably have to kick you ass. Cause your deffinatly the best looking girl in this store." He told her, not believing what he just said. "Aw crap, now i'm gunna have to think of some sad excuse to cover up for what I just said. Gaara is gunna kick my ass for saying that." He thought to himself giving himself a metal punch. Luckily he heard a small giggle which snapped him out of his fear.
"That's a really sweet thing to say, and no it's not that, it's the fact my hair is bright pink and I don't think alot of this stuff is gunna look so hot with my hair. That's all." She lied hoping he wouldn't argue the fact.
"I can see where that might be problematic. Hey Sakura, do you have a bathing suit?" Naruto asked with a hint of humour to his voice. "Uhh no, why?" She asked back raising an eyebrow in a questioning way. "Cause, the guys wanted to know if you wanted help picking out a bathing suit for the pool party Temari's holding tonight." He explained. Sakura was kinda confused and was caught between laughing and the urge to punch him in the face. "Uhh, sure..I guess i'd like to have an honest opinion." She told him. "Okay, then will meet you at the billabong in about an hour." He told her standing up and walking away.
"Right..." She said to herself, as Temari, Hinata, Ino and now TenTen ran over to her with bundels of clothes. "Time to try things on?" Sakura questioned with a scared tone in her voice. They all nodded and she slumped down in her chair with a big groan.
45 Minutes Later.
Sakura had ended up buying everything she had tryed on and had only 15 minutes to find Billabong, which would end up deeming a more difficult task then she had prepared herself for. All the girls had left to get ready for Temaris' pool party, but she explained that she was supposed to buy a bathing suit with the guys. After she told them they all laughed at her and patted her on the back as they left her standing in the middle of a mall she had never been in before today. "Okay where the crap am I? This place has three floors, I can't find a map and I don't even know what the store looks like. GOD I AM SO LOST!" Sakura screamed at herself going down to the 1st floor and running from one end of the mall to the other. She panted a little out of breath when a man asked her she was going to be okay. "YES I WILL BE FUCKING OKAY!" She screamed at the poor old man who had fallen over in fear.
"Are you lost?" Another voice asked. Sakura looked around to see a boy around her age with black hair and onyx eyes looking back at her. "Um, yes I don't know where Billabong is..." She said quietly. This boy somehow made her go very quiet, she thought if she was loud he would burst out crying or something. "Yeah, it's on the second floor at the very end on the right." He said quietly before walking away into a dark corner. "Righto!" She exclaimed running to the escalator and up the moving stairs, before she knew it she was infront of billabong and was greeted by a group of about 7 guys. "Hi Sakura." Gaara said putting his arm around her and walking into the store with her. "Um hi..." She said kinda confused. Everyone else had turned away from the store and were running for the exit which made Sakura wonder if this was a set up for the two of them to be alone.
"This was incredibly uncreative." Gaara told himself looking at the ground and taking his arm off Sakuras shoulder.
"Well, considering you probably set this up. Why don't you just come straight out and say you like me." Sakura told him.
"What? No it's not like THAT." He argued.
"Are you sure about that?" Sakura asked browsing through a rack of black and aqua blue bathing suits. "What do you think about this one?" She asked pulling out a black bikini with some small aqua hearts on the corner of the right boob and some X's and hearts on the back of the bottoms. "It's nice." He told her walking over to a chair and flopping down. "Wow, he seems so uninterested." Sakura thought grabbing a bunch of bathing suits and running into the change room right across from Gaara. "But i'm sure I can grab his interest." She told herself. She quickly changed into a black and white bathing suit and opened the change room door with a slam causing Gaara to fly back in his seat. "What do you think?" Sakura asked doing a little strut for him. "V-v-very nice." He told her stuttering slightly on his words. "Did I just stutter! When do I ever stutter!?!" He yelled at himself. "Hmm just the reaction I wanted." Sakura thought running back into the change room and changing into the one she had held up for Gaara before. She looked at the mirror in the change room and was sure she would get much for then a "it's nice" from him this time. She opened the door slowly, and began her model walk down the runway like dressing room area. "GET THAT!" A bunch of voices screamed. Sakura turned around to see Gaara and the huge group of guys from before all standing at the doorway of the changing area mouths wide open.
Sakura let out a small giggle and went to change back into her normal clothes and buy the bathing suit. By that time, all the guys except Gaara had left. "You deffinatly have to body to wear a bikini." He told her as they were walking out the store. "Thanks, anything else you have to say?" She asked. "Nope." He smirked turning to the opposite exit she was headed for. "I will get it out of him!" She declared as she walked towards her big jeep.
Okay, so not exactly over 300. But close enough. .
