Hey peoples.
XXX
Tori was alone in the world.
Her parents died when she was young. Her boyfriend dumped her. Her only aunt and uncle moved away to India. She had no cousins. She had no brothers or sisters. She had lost her only true friends long, long ago.
She was alone.

Tori leapt across the floor, training by herself.
No, not training as Naruto and the other people in that show did. She was on point.
As she jumped into a grand jete (giant leap), she thought about her favorite show, Naruto.
She landed, nearly losing her balance. She quickly dropped to her feet.
As she walked over to the barre, she wondered which character she was most like.
Naruto? Nah, too noisy for her.
Sakura? Too obsessive about Sasuke.
Sasuke? Definitely not. He was too serious.
She guessed that they would have to make a whole new character for her. She smiled at the thought and then concentrated on her ballet again.
As she launched into a series of complicated moves, she wondered one thing: Would she fit in?
She was so deep in thought that when she went to stretch her leg out behind her, she tripped over her own feet and fell on her bottom. She took one look at her startled face in the mirror and cracked up.
She remembered what her former best friend had said. "Sometimes it is good to laugh at yourself."
She got up, still chuckling. She stopped suddenly as she thought of her best friend, Kelsie.
Kelsie had been the best friend ever. She was always laughing and never caught up in herself.
The only time she was actually serious was when she was talking about a boy!
Tori remembered Kelsie having long, blond hair. When she showed up to class one day with her waist-length hair chopped back to just below her ears, all she did was smile and laugh about her ridicules hair cut. She never frowned and she always kept a secret.
She was the best, until Tori moved.
After a few months, the letters got shorter and shorter and they came less and less often. All at once, they stopped coming at all.
As loyal as Kelsie was, there was no way they could continue to write.
After about another hour of jumping and practicing, Tori hauled herself home.
She took a short, warm shower and then got dressed in a hurry, for she couldn't miss her favorite show.
She leaped from the seventh stair onto the floor, startling away her cat.
The sixteen-year-old laughed out loud and smiled on of her rare smiles. She raced to the TV set and turned it to Naruto. She jumped up and down until the theme song came on, and then she squealed her excitement.
She frowned at the TV when the commercials came on.
She suddenly felt herself growing drowsy and weak. She blinked several times, trying to clear the sleep from her eyes. Even in her drowsy state, she wondered why the heck she was feeling this way.
She finally collapsed on her couch, closing her eyes.
