Entry three: Room makeover

"That bitch…" Karin said the next day at the cafeteria at school. "….how dare she refuse my offer? Who does she think she is? No one turns down my offer…." She went on and on about this. "….right Sasuke- Kun?" She said when she finished. Sasuke was just sitting down with his right cheek on the palm of his hand and not listening to one thing she's saying. "…right Sasuke- kun?" She repeated and looked at him.

"Hnn…" He said as he saw Sakura and Ino walk in. Why is she hanging out with her? Forget what Karin said yesterday….she is 'way' prettier than Karin. But the question is…why isn't she popular? She gave up one of the best opportunities in this school.

"Sakura I am so glad you didn't go with her…." Ino said. "… I thought you would join her just like my other friends who don't want to be seen anywhere near me…."

"Are you crazy?" Sakura asked as they got in line to get their food. "Like I would join her group over you….you know what they say… 'Two's a company and three's a crowd'…. I know a good person when I see one…"

They paid for their food and went to a vacant table. It was all fine and glory until Karin walks so innocently to the table. "Okay Haruno we'll give you a chance to apologize and join the group…." Karin said but Ino and Sakura avoided her. "….AHEM…" She said rather loudly and that got everyone in the room to look at their table.

"Oh sorry did you say something?" Sakura asked and Karin was beginning to get pissed off that she was being ignored….no one ignores Karin.

"I know you heard me the first time, Haruno…" Karin said.

"Did I?" Sakura said and smiled at her. "There is nothing more I would like to do but just talk to you but it looks like time is one my side….we'll see you later…" Sakura said. "…it's nice talking to you…" Ino and Sakura stood up with their trays and left.

Dear diary,

That red head bitch ummm what's her name? Oh yeah, Karin…she came up to me and she expected me to forgive her and join her little group…posse or whatever they call it… I was never popular and neither do I want to be popular…no offence but she is a real BITCH and what the hell does she mean when she said 'you're almost as pretty as me?' Are you kidding me? I would rather look at my mom…. If this bitch think she could ruin my year in Edogawa high then she has another thing coming.

"Oh Sasuke- Kun…" Karin said when she turned to him. "… I have a favor to ask you…" Karin said.

"Forget it…" Sasuke said. "…. I've done enough things for you and don't call me 'kun'… I don't belong to anyone and I don't belong nor would I want to belong to you…now out of my way… I quit…" He said pushing right pass her.

Karin smiled because she knows a way to keep him in. "You can't quit Sasuke- Kun…" She said and he looked at her with his dark eyes.

"You have no threat to keep me in and I don't follow orders from anyone and especially you…" He said in his emotionless voice.

"You don't want me to tell the whole school…" She smiled again and Sasuke glared at her. She slowly walked over to him and whispered in his ear. "…about what 'really' happened to your real parents and your older brother…"

Sasuke's whole body stiffened. How did she know? "So…about that favor…."

Sakura opened the door to her house with Ino behind her. They were both surprised at what they saw. Everything was all cleaned and put away neatly. All the furniture was put into place and a rug right under the coffee table in the living room.

Are you serious? My mom…MY mom cleaned the house and this is a first ever since my father died. I was so depressed when he passed away on my sixth birthday because he was very special to me… I don't know… I didn't celebrate my birthday ever since. So instead of being happy on my birthday it was the most depressing day of my life.

"Mom…" Sakura called and her mom ran out of the kitchen. "…I think someone cleaned the house…" She said. "…so who is this criminal that broke into our house and cleaned it and left…." She could hear Ino laughing behind her.

"Stop joking around Sakura…" She said. "…I cleaned it. I used all my time fixing this house today and I think I did a good job around this house don't you think?"

"Mom this is great…" Sakura said.

"You should look in your room…" She said. "… I spent most of my time in there…"

Sakura quickly ran up the stairs and suddenly fell in the hole she made two days ago. "I really need to fix that…" She got up and went to her room.

'I have a bed?' She thought as she stared in complete awe at her room. "Woow…" She said. Her wall was pink and she had a bedside table with a lamp on it and her bed was filled with all kinds of stuffed animals. Ino came up soon after and stared.

"Wow…" Ino said as Sakura walked to her closet and removed the board. The room in there was still dark and dusty with all kinds of boxes in there.

"I guess she didn't find this room…" Sakura said and Ino walked away.

"What room?" Ino asked and she followed Sakura's eyes. "Oh my god you have a secret room in you closet? That is so awesome…." She said as they both walked in. "….we should so fix this place up and we can make this into our secret hideout…."

"I found this room two days ago…." Sakura said holding a flash light. "…that's a reason why I chose this room…" She said as she saw a door. "…Ino look at this…"

"You have another room in your room in your closet? That's weird." She said.

Sakura opened the door and she was surprised to see a full bathroom all covered in dust and shattered glass from the mirror. "This is like a master bedroom in my closet…." Sakura gasped.

"I'm begging to like this room but it needs a complete makeover…." Ino said and Sakura agreed. "….let's start today since today is Friday….do you have any ideas?"

"I think my mom still has her old mattress…" Sakura said. "…we should start with the sweeping first…."

"I'm glad that you really stayed in the group, Sasuke- Kun…" She said as she sat in his car and he was driving and pretty much pissed off about what happened. 'Of course…she has secrets from all her friends just incase they want to leave the group she would blackmail them…that's probably why they didn't leave….'

"Like I have a say in it…" Sasuke whispered and Karin looked at him.

"What was that, Sasuke- Kun?" She asked.

"Hnn..." Was all Sasuke said as he passed by a hardware store to see Sakura and Ino coming out of a car. That's weird….why would someone as pretty as her be in a 'hardware' store….and Ino of all people….she wouldn't go in there if it's the only place in the world to hide.

"Sasuke- Kun pull over I see pinky and her friend by the hardware…" Karin smirked. "…this is too good…" Karin said as Sasuke did what she said because if he didn't he would know what she would do to him.

They stepped out of the car and walked into the store and saw Sakura and Ino in the wood section. "Oh Haruno what a coincidence…." She said and they ignored her and caught one of the workers for help.

"Excuse me can I get a six and a half by four feet of this wood please?" Sakura asked.

"A lady asking for wood…" The worker said. "….that's a first….okay so what are you making?"

"A door…." She said.

"I'm sure we have your measurements in the door section…" He said.

"I like making things myself…."

"Well…okay….be back in a few minutes…" He said and Sakura smiled.

"Thank you very much…" She said as the guy left and she began looking at doorknobs.

"I didn't expect to see you here, Haruno…" Karin said and they both finally noticed her existence and looked at her.

"I hope you know this isn't a hair salon…" Ino said.

"I was going to ask you the same question…." Karin laughed. "…join our group Haruno and I won't tell anyone you were here…."

"No thank you…." Sakura said as she picked a doorknob that caught her eyes.

"I guess you don't want me to tell your secret…" Karin said.

What the hell….secret… I do not have a secret and what does being in a hardware store have something to do with a secret she said she thinks she knows?

"I don't have a secret…." Sakura said. "…. I was never a girly girl to begin with so I don't care if you tell everyone in school…come on Ino…." Sakura said and they walked away while Sakura was smirking at Karin and smiled at Sasuke. "….hi Sasuke…" Sakura touched his shoulder. "…it's nice to finally meet you and it's a mystery to see you with her…" Sasuke looked deep into her emerald depths and before he knew it he was leaning over. Sakura looked at Karin again. "….see I can hypnotize any guy without any effort at all…." She smirked and Sasuke felt like he wants to grab her and kiss her for no reason but held back when she moved away and walked away with Ino.

Sasuke watched her leave and he could hardly believe that he was hypnotized by just looking into her eyes and he's surprised that she didn't fall to his feet and beg him to be her boyfriend. He watched her and was thinking about what the hell just happened. Karin slapped his shoulder.

"Sasuke- Kun…" She said and he looked at her. "….you are 'mine' and no one can have you especially pinky…." She said and he growled.

"I don't belong to anyone…." He said. "… I am no one's property and neither will I be one…" He said and she pouted. He turned and began walking before stopping again. "…are you done?"

"I'm coming Sasuke- Kun…." She smiled again and followed him.

"Hnn…" He said before walking away from her again and Karin following a few steps behind him.

It is Saturday, 5:53 pm and Ino and Sakura finally finished the room in the closet. The room walls were painted red from the paint Sakura found in the garage and it was the only color they had and surprisingly it really matches with the silk bed sheets she found when she was looking through the old boxes. There was a bedside table with a lamp on it and the room just looks so welcomed.

Sakura and Ino high five each other for a job well done. "Wow…" They both said at the same time.

"Its way better than I thought it would be…" Sakura said as she looked at the new door she made for the bathroom. It had all kinds of carvings and Sakura's and Ino's favorite sayings. Inside the bathroom were green walls with a new mirror and vanity and a couple lights above it.

"Want to go get something to eat?" Ino asked and Sakura nodded as their stomachs growled and demanded them to get some food.

"I'm starving…" Sakura said as they both laughed and Sakura walked to her bed and took out her diary.

"Sakura aren't you coming?" Ino asked.

"Go on without me…" She said waving her off. "… I have to do something… I'll meet you downstairs…" Ino nodded and left the room

I am so surprised that we managed to accomplish or task in just one day…Ino helped…we can finally enjoy the secret room. I am so glad that I moved here because this is the best room I had ever had after moving so much times and I think my mother is beginning to love this place too. I have a feeling that we would be living here for a very long time.

Love,

Sakura
