Unfortunately, the cliffhanger from chapter 2 will not be in this chapter, so please wait a few more chapters to find out what 'it' is... unless you want to skip this part and go to chapter 6...

Chapter 3: A Day in Reedington, California, U.S.A.

"CHERRY AVALON, WAKE UP!"

Cherry opened her eyes. Her 'step mom' had used one of the best annoying ways to wake her up, which was yelling or dumping icy cold water on her.

"HURRY UP OR YOU'RE GOING TO BE LATE FOR SCHOOL!"

"Yes, ma'am."

Cherry dressed into her school uniform, which was an ankle length, cherry red and forest green checkered skirt in the same style as Tomeda's; with a white, button down the middle, tucked in shirt, with the school crest (which looks like the Super Smash Brothers Melee symbol thingy) on the left collar; faster than the speed of sound, swallowed her breakfast, which was bacon, ham, and sausages; whole, and ran out the door.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Cherry, you are late."

"Sorry, Miss Mean," said Cherry in a monotonous voice.

"Sorry is never enough, brat," Miss Mean takes out her grade book, "and this means you get a 'F' for the day, and an administrative detention, after school."

Cherry was silent, using all the energy she had, just not to say 'WHAT!'

"Wow... you are leaning quick, brat, but that still doesn't mean that you are late for the SAT-9..."

Cherry's POV

Damn this freaking school! Why do we have to take the SAT-9 at the beginning of the year, not at the end! Damn everyone in this school except for Mr. Terada, Madison, Mei-Lin, Li, Tori, Julian, Ruby, Eli, Chelsea, Nikki, Rita, and Zachary!

End of POV

All Cherry knew was that she was a dead person.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Damn that..."

"Don't say it, Madison." said Cherry, annoyed.

"OK! Then... DAMN THIS SCHOOL!" yelled Madison.

"ADMINISTRATIVE DETENTION, MISS TAYLOR!" yelled Miss Mean.

It was after the SAT-9 testing and everyone was going out for a break in the 'playground.' This 'playground' was not those places where you can have fun when you were young, but it was one of those places where one color exists. In this case it was gray.

But only one thing was not gray, and that was the red poison tree with its red fruit. It was located near the huge storage crate at the edge of the 'playground' and was the headquarters of the Cherry Freedom Fighters (CFF) since almost no one goes there except them.

Cherry and Madison were late for this meeting, thanks to Miss Mean's student police who have a habit of stalking the CFF.

"Operation: Miss Mean." whispered Madison to Mei-Lin.

"O: MM?"

"Yes, O: MM."

"So, what's the plan?" asked Li.

"Utter Chaos?" suggested Cherry.

"YEAH! Total Chaos!" agreed Tori.

"OK! Utter Chaos it is!" Madison said, making it final.

Yes, there's chaos in the next chapter!

Notes:

Sakura 'Cherry' Avalon does not know that her 'mom' is actually a 'step mom.'

An administrative detention is having a detention with the assistant/vice/the REAL principal of the school as the 'teacher.'

O...K... the above statement is confusing since it makes no sense...

SAT-9 is the CA statewide school test (unless they changed the name the something else... thanks to someone...)
