* Damn...it's too sunny.... way to sunny...I have to be in the damn shadows.... Birds chirping. Little wimps running around like there's no tomorrow.... What a perfect day to vomit.... seriously. *
Sakura was walking down the sidewalk watching everybody with hate. She already hated people without getting to know them. She squinted under the glorious sun that shined throughout everywhere it touched. She was already getting lost.
* I wish I asked for damn directions...*
She finally saw someone that caught her interest. It was a girl. She had long wavy hair...it looked purple under the sun. She also wore black clothing and a dagger necklace. She was carrying with her a video camera. It looked like she was filming.
* Hmmm.this should be interesting...I at least need a friend...yayayaya.... I know I said I like loneliness and shit...but it can't hurt to have at least one fucking friend right? *
" Uh.Hi...My name's Sakura...and I'm fucking lost.... mind helping me on this sickening day?" asked Sakura with interest.
" Go blow a dog..." replied the girl.
" Well...someone's in a bitchy mood today!" Screeched Sakura.
" FINALLY!!! Someone with a sense of...what's that word," said the girl.
" Uh...lets see...I don't have a dictionary with me but...I think the word your looking for is...Madness?" said Sakura.
" Yah!! That's it!" exclaimed the girl.
" My name's Madison Taylor, you can call me Mad," replied Madison with her hand extended.
" Nice meeting ya," said Sakura with a grin. Sakura took Mad's hand and shook it.
" So...why you lost huh?" asked Madison.
" I'm trying to get to this cornball school called...uh...I think it was...Willow High or somethinng. Im kind of starting late cause I just moved here...so I'm THE NEW KID right about now." replied Sakura.
" What a BITCH!! I go there too!! I'll show ya round so you won't be a loner," said Madison
" Aight!! How is it like? You know, people and all. They valley?" asked Sakura.
" Hell Yes!!! They are some...some peeps all aight but...there are some major shitheads if you know what I mean...for god's sake...they giggle!" yelled Madison.
" No shit.... I saw some last weekend!" replied Sakura. " And I see them now...everywhere...running around. Screaming for joy."
Madison and Sakura got along well. They talked like they knew each other for a long time. Suddenly Sakura asked a question.
" Um...what are you doing with the video camera.... your just filming the sky...the ground...and weird kids, why is that?" Sakura asked.
Madison just looked at Sakura with serious eyes. Sakura notices that her eyes looked hurt and full of pain that couldn't be taken away.
" You know how a beautiful flower just blooms during spring, but then dies during winter cause of the snow, or some apparent reason...it got too much water. Or it just dies...." Mad says.
" Umm...I'm not sure I get you Mad....what are you getting at?" Sakura asked with hesitation.
" My mom has positive HIV.... she got it before I was born. Meaning I have HIV.... it never seems to amaze me how life works." Mad says.
Sakura sits down next to Madison motioning her to go on with the story.
" I'm filming cause I believe that everything in life has beauty. Like.... how the sky just keeps changing everyday...how the clouds just swirl...it can cause destruction or can cause a beautiful day. I film everything around me because I want to remember what I've seen in life. I know I'll remember in my mind...but I want everyone else to see what I saw...Beauty is everywhere...even those who only get at one chance at living. Or who get two.... but the point is.... The clock ticks life away...that it's times purpose...to tick tock the life away. The lives that aren't meant to see the future of people who can live to see the future..." Madison finishes.
Sakura just stared. With sadness in her glossy green eyes...
" Umm.... that's really beautiful. What you just said.... I know that I don't know you very well...but I want to stay your friend forever...even when the clock stops ticking" Sakura says.
" Gee.thanx.... That'll be nice. To hang out with someone ...for once..." Madison replies with a smile.
" I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship." Sakura says sarcastically.
" Yah sure!!" replies Madison with a Joking grin. " Come on daydreamer!! I don't think you wan't to be late for your astounding great day of first class!!! " Madison says while dragging Sakura off with her.
Meanwhile in Sakura's Mind...
* Okay.... I like Madison alot, like a sister even...kind of saddens me a lot, cause now...everyday.... I got to be looking out for her you know? I got to be there for her. I won't betray her for the world. She is one friend I'm going to keep dammit! Saddens me to the fact...is that she can't grow old with me and talk about our damn fucking grandkids.... Life sucks.... Mad says that the clock ticks life away.... I say.... Live life to the fullest and die trying...*
