FIFTY OF THE MOST STUPID THINGS I'VE EVER DONE IN MY LIFE THAT I DID ON IMPULSE AND ENDED UP REGRETTING
1.
Taking Chemistry this year.
2. Having kissed Sexy-sensei, or well,
returned his kiss.
3. Singing drunkenly with Ino that night.
4.
Joining the school newspaper by invitation.
5. Acting lazy about
changing the water for my goldfish when I was younger.
6. So it
died and I flushed it down the toilet.
7. Bitching at
Kurenai-sensei the other day.
8. Although it did get Sexy-sensei
to tell me the truth.
9. Kind of being obvious enough for
Sexy-sensei.
10. Losing my beautiful and lovely and beautiful
Blackberry
11. Getting scared in the Haunted House.
12. And
looking like a total loser in front of Sasuke-kun.
13. Cutting my
hair when I was younger because I wanted a change.
14. And dying
said hair too.
15. Actually doing good in drama class.
16.
Since it got me the lead role for this years play.

too lazy to look for a recycling bin.
23. Not complaining about
how we should put recycling bins and garbage cans beside each other.

Why is it that people tend to be prone to putting themselves into situations that they know aren't gonna turn out how they'd like?
Are we all really simply just that stupid?
No one forces to do anything yet we're really stupid enough to follow through and then get screwed over in the end and you what? We have no one to blame but ourselves if we feel angry or sad or hurt in end of it all.
Why do people with low self-esteem actually read celebrity magazines?
Why do people who are easily frightened watch horror movies?
Why do people who know they don't like the plot of a story read the book?
And so on.
Why do we do things when we know that we won't like the results?
Are we all really just that masochistic?

You're a bit of a hypocrite Cherry. You shouldn't scold people
for cornering themselves into situations that they could tell would
have screwy results. Let's have an example. You started dating Tada
knowing that like most high school relationships, it could go awry.

I don't know how other people think Cherry, and I agree with you in
the matter that reading something you know for a fact you aren't
going to like at all is rather pointless, but try looking at it
differently. Why did you start dating Tada when there was a
possibility of him hurting you? There are warnings about getting in
relationships everywhere but you disregarded them and went into the
relationship that could have ended up horrible.

"I'm Cherry," I told her.
I told that I am Cherry.
For Sasuke-kun.
Tsunade-sama nodded. She didn't smile like I thought she would though, surprisingly. I really, really thought that she would smile. I mean, why wouldn't she smile? She won the witch hunt so smiling would be the first thing she should have done.
But she didn't.
She just looked at me…
With pity!
"I see," Tsunade-sama said. She wrote something down on her desk and then looked back up at me somewhat solemnly. "Out of curiosity Haruno, why did you tell you me that you are Cherry?"
I swallowed and then stared back strongly.
"Because you would have expelled Sasuke-kun."
She made a face at my words and then frowned at me with real disappointment.
It was actually really weird… For the past few minutes in which she had known that I am Cherry, all she did was well, look at me, but not frown. And especially not with that whole expression as if I have let her down on something really horrible.
"I was never going to expel the Uchiha," Tsunade-sama admitted slowly.
She spoke with a cool look her face while looking me in the eye.
"He led you on."
I didn't believe her.
"What are you—"
"The boy truly is a genius," she mused somewhat solemnly, looking at her table. "All he had to do was confirm my theory and look at this. He got you to do it for me—for us."
I blinked and swallowed, trying not to believe her.
"What do you mean?" I whispered.
"I used him to get to you," Tsunade-sama admitted.
Suddenly, I realized that that day at the carnival when me and Shikamaru were talking, I totally jinxed myself. Yeah, you know, that time when I was thinking of how Shikamaru betrayed Temari with her greatest enemy (Ino) and how Sasuke-kun would never do that to me—
Then the door opened.
And Sasuke-kun came in.
He didn't notice me at first, because being who he is (and seeing as I was standing against the wall) he got straight down to business.
"You wanted to see me?"
I ignored him though.
"How did you do it?" I asked Tsunade-sama, disregarding Sasuke-kun's presence (because I am mad at him!). "I'm smart. I'm a bloody friggin' genius, screw modesty because I am. I've always been careful about what I wrote and I always cover all my tracks. How did you figure me out?"
I looked over at Sasuke-kun because I wanted his answer.
He said nothing and looked away.
"After we were given a profile of you," Tsunade-sama began, "I had the Uchiha boy over there find people who could fit the description. The best bet was you."
Sasuke-kun took over.
"You might have hid who you were, but you talked a lot about things you like," he said coolly. "From that, I was able to make myself into a guy that you would fall in love with. I knew that if you were in love with me, if I told you that story I did before about getting kicked out you would try to save me by admitting you're Cherry."
Ouch.
Tears prickled in my eyes much to my dismay but I did not let them fall.
Not for him.
Tsunade-sama swallowed and then nodded.
"Uchiha, leave. Come back at lunch."
Sasuke-kun then left and it was just me and Tsunade-sama in the room.
"Now we must discuss you punishment…"
I felt so…
Angry.
Hurt.
Broken.
Betrayed.
I could only nod and accept things as they were.
(Life sucks.)

I can understand wanting to know that badly who I am, but were the methods really that necessary? You made me fall in love you. Fuck, I told you I loved you! I let you in on my quiet little world. I let you charm me with all your sweet and meaningful gestures. I even admitted to you that I thought it was all too good to be true, but you said it wasn't.
I should've just trusted my gut instinct.
You played with my feelings.
You played with my heart.

(SO WHAT IF I POSTED SOMETHING A FEW HOURS AGO?! I NEED TO VENT, OKAY?!)
Well anything great left the building today.
I guess that's just my karma.
(Although no offence fate/karma/irony/Headmistress, I really don't think that I deserved your method of finding out my real identity.)
Let's recap.
For the past years, since I started seventh grade at Leaf Academy, with no friends other than the very few I had, I relied a lot on my laptop (I was more social in sixth). Maybe I had nothing better to do with my life, maybe I was a loser and rather pathetic like that, maybe I was just bored, but that doesn't change the fact that I still created TheCherryOnTop and used it to tell everyone's secrets. And the fact that I used nicknames rather than people's real names doesn't make me any better.
Maybe I can redeem myself.
—Maybe not.
The Pink Princess is actually me, Cherry.
It all turns out that dear Headmistress really wanted to find out who I was, so she used what anyone who knew the teenage female mind would use: a pretty boy and who better than Pretty Boy, right? See, the plan was pretty good, in my opinion (and Headmistress, even though there are hard feelings, I must commend you on being a worthy opponent. Pretty Boy, I hope you fall off a bridge and perhaps snap your neck or something).
She had me fall in love with him.
Perhaps the plan was to get me to confess it to him. It turns out that I was a prime subject, being one to fit the profile that Headmistress received. I was tested; Pretty Boy and I would do things that it would only be possible for the two of us to know about, and then after that, I would post it (I guess I'm really predictable) and then my identity would be confirmed.
I'm sure that a lot of you hate me.
And I'm sure that a lot of you love me, too.
So I'll be fair.
I'll tell you who I am.
—Tomorrow.

"Are you insane?"
I am so not insane.
"No," I mutter, giving Shikamaru an annoyed look.
Okay, fine, maybe I am insane, maybe just a little, but for some reason…
This feels necessary.
Shikamaru sighs and pulls on my arm before I walk into the school cafeteria to get my last slice of pizza and my last Mountain Dew from Leaf Academy (well probably, I don't even know if I'm getting kick out tomorrow. I know I'm getting kicked out, I just don't know when). He steadies me and gives me a firm look.
"Sakura is announcing that you're Cherry really the smartest thing to do?" he asks. "In front of the entire school?"
I nod and stomp into the cafeteria—
…Where everything is a riot.
"Holy crap…" I say, seeing the way that everyone is in the cafeteria. Shikamaru steps beside me and looks around as well, with a shocked expression of sorts on his face. See, most of the time, everyone eats around the school, which is why there is usually a decent amount of room in the cafeteria.
Right now, it is packed…
I look around and spot some familiar faces.
Sasuke-kun is sitting with Naruto and Kiba, the two idiots talking about random things while he stares at—
Oh, he's looking at me.
Like, as in moi.
Yours truly.
Er.
Right…
I look away and see Tsunade-sama, standing beside Kakashi-sensei and Sexy-sensei (who are today's lunch chaperones of sorts, who are supposed to be watching the students). I suppose dear Headmistress is in here because she heard about my little announcement.
"Sakura, everyone is in here," Shikamaru points out. "There are people who don't like the fact that you tell secrets. I don't think it's wise to—"
"Shut up, Shikamaru," I order, putting my hand in his face, and determinedly stepping over to Sasuke-kun's table.
Shikamaru follows me steadily (probably to make sure I don't end up doing something stupid although me doing something stupid right now won't make a difference considering how I'm already in deep shit) and stops when I do, in front of Sasuke-kun's table. Sasuke-kun looks up from the late math homework he was supposed to do last night that is due next period and stares at me. Naruto and Kiba pause in their arm wrestling contest and see me too.
"Hey there Sakura-chan—"
"Sasuke," I begin, completely cutting off Naruto. "I want you to know something."
Sasuke-kun stands up and opens his mouth to talk.
"Sakura—"
"No!" I yell. "Don't 'Sakura' me, okay?! I might be a jerk Sasuke, but that's because I tell the truth. I tell how I feel and I am one hundred percent honest. I tell things how they are. That's what my blog was for, damnit! It was so people could know at least some of the real facts!"
"Sakura—"
"People cheat on each other, so I report that!" I say, defending myself. "Then they screw around with their teachers. I say that too! I tell everything as it is, Sasuke!" I poke him in the chest add some effect in the matter.
Naruto and Kiba are staring at me oddly and I notice it's because my eyes are watering.
But I refuse to cry.
I will not cry.
"I might be a bitch Sasuke, but that's because I tell the truth."
I shake my head and bow it slightly, letting my bangs fall over my eyes because much to my dismay, some tears did fall.
"But you…"
For this, I need to look at him.
"You…"
Shikamaru grabs my arm to try and pull me away but I get the last part in.
"You're just a liar."
Before Sasuke-kun can talk, Shikamaru is already dragging me across the room. No one seems to notice the pink-haired chick with tears on her face since they're all so wrapped up in waiting for Cherry to announce herself to the world (well not technically, the world).
"So are you ready to share you secret?" Shikamaru asks me, holding my wrist tightly in case I decide to run away and pull a bad stunt of bitch slapping Sasuke-kun (which I totally planned to do but no) thus getting myself into more trouble.
I smile at him and wipe my eyes with the sleeves of my sweater.
"Damn right."

Anywhoo, this just might be my last day.
Certainly not my last blog—
But my last day, probably…
Yes.
I feel good right now, surprisingly.
It's feels good to come completely clean. I mean, I tell the truth on this blog, but I guess I'm a bit of a liar by not telling who I am.
So I will.
Today, in like, twenty minutes or so (I wanna get some lunch before I confess, duh).

To be honest, as bad (well, not completely bad) as this situation is, I feel like singing.
You know, for the last time at least, with Ino, we can sing another cheesy girly (yet still catchy) song, this time Coming Clean.
Because I am.
I totally am.
I am coming clean. I am confessing. I am strong.
I can do this shit.
"So, lunch is gonna end in ten minutes…"
(I hate Shikamaru.)
"Shut up," I mutter, glaring at him. "I can do it—"
"Then do it."
"FINE!" I practically scream, gaining some attention from the table of ninth graders who are sitting by us. I sneer at them (wow, I think I can feel my PMS coming) and step onto the bench of their table, then onto the top, efficiently getting most of the cafeteria's attention.
Temari, who is at the next table with a bunch of other seniors, looks at me oddly and begins walking in my direction.
"Yeah… Excuse me! Everybody! Hi!" I shout, all words apart, sounding a bit stupid. "Hi—"
"YOU'RE HOT!" someone yells.
I blink slowly.
(Not exactly the first thing I expect to hear from someone but okay…)
"Um… thank you…" I reply loudly so the person can hear me. "But anyways—"
"YEAH SAKURA-CHAN!"
I roll my eyes at the next interruption and sigh.
"Look…" I begin playing the hem of my kilt (those little boys at this table can totally see my underwear…). "I know a lot of you are here today because you read online that Cherry was going to be announcing herself." From the corner of my eye, I see a disturbed look on Tsunade-sama's face as she begins stomping over to where I'm standing. Kakashi-sensei is just reading his porn and Sexy-sensei is watching me intently, with curiosity in his sexy eyes. "Which is why I am here to tell you…"
I take a deep breath.
"That I am Cherry."
There are a shit load of gasps and some people look like they're offended.
(It's as if they don't believe me and think that I am disgracing their precious Cherry by claiming to be her.
Bastards.)
"Sakura!" I look down and see Temari staring up at me anxiously. "What the hell are you doing?! I know your job is create school spirit, and sure, we discussed that Cherry is practically our school mascot, but this most certainly is not the way to be raising everyone's support!"
I ignore her.
"Some of you might hate me for starting the blog," I continue, shaking Temari's grip off of my ankle. "I can understand that I guess. Who wants their biggest secrets being told to other people, right?" I smile sadly but continue. "Well, like I've been writing and saying on the blog, I've been caught."
I notice an unopened can of Mountain Dew on the table and I pick it up.
(The kid who bought it doesn't really notice so yeah…)
"I guess I told too much about myself on the blog. I told the color of my dress at the dance, I told my favorite kind of pizza, I told my favorite drink." My lips purse as I look at Sasuke-kun, who is staring back at me intently. "And essentially, I ended up telling everything that could help someone who wants to find me, form the perfect guy that would cause me to swoon over and then confess to."
(I open the can and wipe my fingers on my sweater vest because some Mountain Dew spurted out.)
"So that was the downfall of Cherry," I continue. "A boy. I fell in love with a boy." I giggle bitterly. "I fell in love Tada. Remember him? Tall, dark and handsome? The one that I wouldn't shut up about on the blog? Well our dear Headmistress used him to get me to confess that I am Cherry."
I drink some of the sweet green stuff and begin pacing on the table.
"Hell, that's not all that I confessed to that jerk! I told him I loved him!" I screech, gaining a few 'Aw'-s from the females in the cafeteria. "I actually said that stupid, stupid word to him!"
I shake my head and sigh again.
"Whatever… The point of this was to confess the truth." I look around the room and stand up confidently knowing that all eyes are on me. "I am Cherry," I tell them again. "I am the creator the blog, TheCherryOnTop. I, Sakura Haruno, am Cherry."
No real reaction came other than Tsunade-sama standing by the table with an odd look on her face.
"Alright Haruno, that's enough. You gave me your confession already so—"
"No. I am Cherry."
I look to my side and see Shikamaru standing on the table, right next to me, still eating his pizza.
(He speaks with his mouth full. Ugh. Ew!)
"Yep, I write all that gossip in pink font and say 'totally' in just about every other freaking sentence…"
Huh…?
"What the hell?!" I hiss to him, so only the people around can hear me. "No you're not, I am—"
And to cut me off (and just for kicks)—
"Totally!" he adds.
(But I know his trademark t-word is actually 'troublesome'.)
Temari sees the picture and stands on my other side. She smiles at me and nods (which confuses me).
"I'm Cherry," Temari lies, squeezing my shoulder supportively.
…But this isn't how it should be going.
"Screw you Temari, I am!" Ino yells, standing up and waving her arms.
I shake my head incredulously. "None of you are Cherry!" I growl. "I am—"
"I'm Cherry!" Naruto hollers, jumping up.
Next is Tenten, who yells just as loud, "I'm Cherry!"
"No you morons—"
"I'm Cherry!"
"—I, Sakura, am Cherry! I'm the one who blurts all your secrets—"
"I'm Cherry!"
"—I'm the one who says totally in every other friggin' sentence—"
"I'm Cherry!"
I slam my heel on the table in frustration and stomp off of it.
Which causes me to fall—
Into Sasuke-kun's awaiting arms…
"Hi…" I breathe awkwardly, staring into his eyes because honestly, it's hard not to. "Um, thanks for catching me…"
("I'm Cherry!")
"Hn."
(Oh, we're back to that again?)
God he has the prettiest eyes in the world.
(If he wasn't holding me up, I would probably fall over…)
"Um—"
"I did lead you on," he says, cutting off whatever I was going to say (which wasn't really anything, to be honest. I was really just gonna keep going with the whole um-thing since the situation is relatively awkward). "I pretended to like you—"
("I'm Cherry!")
OUCH.
"—but the truth is that I wasn't pretending."
WHAT THE HELL?! HOW DARE HE JUST RUB SALT ON THE WOUND AND SAY HE PRETENDED TO LIKE ME—
Wait what…?
"Huh?" I say, mouth agape, (still in his arms).
"I wasn't pretending," he repeats.
He isn't smiling down at me adoringly or anything like Freddie Prince Jr. was doing in She's All That when Zach and Laney are talking at her house and making up for the whole bet thing. Nope. He's being ever Sasuke with that cool (but still terrifically sexy) expression on his face.
("I'm Cherry!")
"I meant everything I ever told you," Sasuke-kun says, lowering me slowly and gently, but still holding onto me (thank god. I think I'd fall over if he didn't because man, he makes my knees buckle…). "Every compliment, every secret, everything."
I can't help but smile.
(Really, I can't.)
"And that night when you said you love me—"
OH GOD!
"I, um—"
And finally, in the span of years I've known Sasuke Uchiha, he blushes.
"—Hn, you too…"
(SCOREAGE! HE HNS ME!)
I giggle because the moment is great and I forgive him (because I'm easy on people like that) and because he loves me.
(Whatever. It's not his fault he has trouble saying the l-word.)
I stand on my tip toes to kiss him because the moment is perfect and—
"Haruno."
Uh oh.
I turn around wearily and see Tsunade-sama standing behind me with an unreadable expression on her face. Her hands are on her hips and she is staring down at me the way she did some time ago in her office when I admitted to being Cherry.
"It would seem that we are getting multiple confessions as to who is Cherry…"
(Huh?)
Tsunade-sama nods at my baffled expression and then gives me an accepting smile.
"Therefore no one will be expelled from Leaf Academy."
The smile that had faded from my face comes back on and I restrain from hugging her (because she might expel me then for assault).
"However I do expect that whoever really is Cherry will stop with the gossiping."
Sasuke-kun laces his fingers through mine since he is still standing with me (supportively) and my smile grows. I nod to Tsunade-sama who is giving me a questioning look.
"I agree," I say. "I think… Done are the days of TheCherryOnTop."
"Good."
Then with that, Tsunade-sama walks away.
And now that she's gone—
I whip my head around and grin at Sasuke-kun and kiss him.
(God I miss doing this.)
And between the kisses, a thought hits me—
(HE IS THE ONE WHO TOOK MY BABY!)
"Hey, can I have my Blackberry back?"

And alas—
This is the real end of Cherry.
Seriously, after that little um, fiasco in the cafeteria, I think Cherry is over and done with.
Don't worry, I'm not gonna delete my blog entries or anything, but I swear to never even log in to this account ever again. Done are the days of TheCherryOnTop. Done are the days of endless gossip and whining over boys and makeup and school.
I'm growing up.
I'm moving on.
And I'm gonna just be me.
(Insert my name here.)
So for the last time ever—
Cherry, out!

I think it ended fairly decently. Not the greatest, could have been better, but satisfactory at least. I know I didn't prolong the climax or anything when I should have, but oh well. Thank you so much everyone for your support and kind words and reviews and everything. Especially all the people who I randomly blabbed my ideas to at times! I had lots of fun writing TheCherryOnTop. To be honest, at first I thought this would just be another high school story reject but I think it turned out rather okay. But once again, thank you everybody! Bye!
