Author's note: Wow.. I've been gone for almost 3 years. I apologize for that. To tell you the truth, after reading this story, I felt like I couldn't continue it any longer. But, I decided that instead of discontinuing it, I should rewrite it.. So here it is... the prologue of my story.
Take note, that even though this is a rewrite, when you read this story, you will notice that this story is very different from the original one. So, if you don't want to miss anything, just read the prologue... Also, I am going to rewriting the rest of the chapter because I feel like the story was going nowhere and it has no plot. Please don't forget to review this story.. I really want to know your opinion about the new version...

THE PROLOGUE
by: littlelonewolf
Hey you!
I'm sorry if I seem rude by calling you that but I'll keep calling you that until I know your name. Anyway, you don't need to know a lot about me except that my name is Sakura and I am just your average, normal girl living with only my dad and my brother here in Tomoeda. I am just a sophomore at a private high school but I have made a lot of friends already...
I paused... reading over the stuff that I wrote. Actually, the truth is, the stuff about me being average and having a lot of friends are all lies. I have no friends but I seem to be a magnet for bullies. The reason why I haven't made any friends is because they were all afraid of me. Wait-- scratch that. They were all afraid of my bullies. I asked myself, "Should I tell the truth or lie and say I have the perfect life?" I decided against it-- lying, because this person wouldn't know me, as I, him. So I scratched everything and decided to write on a brand new piece of paper. So.. Where shall I start?
Dear Stranger...
You must be wondering who I am, and why I am writing to you. To be honest, I would've never started this in the first place if it wasn't for my English class. My teacher wanted us to practice English, but frankly, I think that I'm already fluent at it. Oh well.. She said that it was worth half our grades. If I didn't write to someone, then I will automatically receive a failing grade. Although I might be the only one who's taking this assignment seriously. Trust my teacher to think up of something weird and complicated for something so simple. Well, she did say that it was good for us to talk about our life to someone who we don't know. I just hope that you're not the kind of person who judges without knowing anything. Anyway, I haven't really introduced myself.
My name is Sakura Kinomoto. Since I'm about to reveal to you my life, you may call me Sakura, if you wish. What about you, what is your name?
Anyway, I actually wanted to lie to you at first and say that I have a very perfect, normal life. But the truth is, my life is anything but normal- it's pitiful, really. In case you are wondering, I am not insane, just lonely and unlucky. And I'll tell you why.
To tell you the truth, when it comes to my family, it couldn't get any more normal. I have a kind and gentle dad, and an annoying brother who keeps teasing me. But when it comes to boys, he can be really protective. My mother died when I was 3 years old, so I never really knew her, but my dad and brother told me that she was very beautiful and cheerful and that her laughter was contagious. I wish she lived long enough for me to remember her... How about you? What is your family like?
Right after I graduated from middle school, my dad told us that we had to move to Tokyo. I was currently living in America and I was really happy because that meant that I can escape that hell hole they call school.
As for my brother? He locked himself in his room and refused to see anybody. His life as I saw it was perfect. He had a very beautiful, blonde girlfriend, he was the most popular guy in his school, and most of all, he didn't want to leave his best friend, Yukito, the guy who would never look at me as more than a sister.
I've had the hugest crush on him since 5th grade and I remember I always used to wake up extra early just so I could walk to school with my brother and Yuki... Well one day, I finally had the guts to tell him how I felt about him. He just smiled and patted my head. He looked at me and said, "You don't love me, Sakura-chan... You just love me as much as you love your brother. I am not the right person for you, Sakura-chan. There will be someone else who will love you more than I do. (Yeah right!) Do you understand?" I shook my head.
I didn't understand half of what he said. But I understood enough to know that he didn't feel the same way. Sometimes, when I think about what he said, I'm starting to believe that all of it was a lie. I'm already in my second year of high school.. And yet, not one guy has even tried to befriend me. I'm starting to think that I am going to grow old and still not have my first boyfriend, let alone my first kiss. I know, unbelievable, but with my appearance, I'm starting to think it's true.
Sometimes, I think that I should just cease to exist. My father once told me that mom wasn't really gone. He pointed to the stars and said. "When a person dies, they become a star so that they could watch over their loved ones." When I die, I would like to be the most beautiful and brightest star there is, just like my mom. I know I shouldn't think about death, but my life is just so pathetic. Why? I am a 15 years old girl with no friends. And I am being constantly picked on by just about the entire student body because of my looks, something that has never stopped since middle school; I wear thick and huge eyeglasses which makes me a nerd, loose clothes which makes me a loser, and I am extremely quiet, which attracts the bullies, and the worse part of my already pathetic life is, the most popular guy at school hates me so much that because of it, the student body decided to make my life a living hell. Sad, isn't it? So will you please answer me.. Can my life get any worse?
Signed,
Sakura Kinomoto AKA S.K.
I stopped and read my finished letter. Somehow, I felt really relieved after letting out my feelings. Though, I wonder what the person who will read this say? Will that person laugh at me? Or express his sympathy? I'd rather that he laugh at me because the last thing I really need is some stranger's sympathy, cause then that would really make my life more pathetic.
I sighed... as I turned off my lamp and got into my bed. Then, just like every night, I ended up crying myself to sleep as I thought about my own question. "Can my life get any worse?"
