AN/- I'm actually becoming more inhuman by the day. I sleep a lot less, I eat even less then before, now only at 1 meal a day. Which is pretty crazy for me, since i'm ''anorexic''. When i'm actually not. But I weighed 60 pounds last year, considering I was 12 going on 13. But now i'm 80 pounds... (yay!) For now at least. (Aw...) I just don't want to eat. (Doesn't matter if you don't wanna! Just eat! -Throws food at her-) I've lost all passion for food and sleep. I only do it now because my body can't go on unless I do. Well the only thing I want now is Honeydew Bubble Tea
P.S - Does anyone read the babblings of my life anymore? (No.)

Chapter 5 - Is This Where I'm Supposed To Write A Title?
Sakura grabbed her lunch box and slammed the locker shut. Then silence.
'The sound of silence never sounded so heavenly...' Sakura meekly thought as she closed her eyes and rested her head against the cold metal. 'I should probebly meet Hinata and Tenten now...' Sakura lifted her head and walked at a normal pace towards outside. As soon as she left the building though, she couldn't find the cherry tree in which they spoke of. Sakura stood there stupidly looking around trying to find it.
'Maybe I heard them wrong?' She questioned with a frown. The wind blew her hair in the afternoon warmth, carrying a voice.
"SAKURA!" Sakura turned around to where the voice was coming from. It wasn't one voice, but two. Tenten's and a blonde haired girl, and they of course, were under a cherry tree, with as they promised, a bunch of people that were just blurs from where Sakura was. She started walking and reached Tenten until she shouted, "WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG!" cupping her hand around her mouth so that it was extra loud. The sudden loud noise was so surprising since it was so quiet ago made Sakura fall for the second time today.
"Tenten, you don't have to be SO LOUD!" Sakura shouted at her. Tenten looked like she was going to retort something back, but before she could, the blonde who was yelling her name interrupted.
"Hi hi! You must be Sakura! I'm Temari!" The blonde introduced herself and stuck out her hand. Sakura looked at Temari. She was pretty tall and Sakura guessed she must've been in her last year of high school, she also had blonde messy hair that was tied back into two seperate pigtails,Sakura felt awkward, so she shook the hand Temari stuck out and smiled. Then she moved aside and gave Sakura a full view of everyone under the tree.
There were four boys, and five girls including Sakura. The only girl that Sakura didn't recgonize was the a girl with eyes that were so pale, and hair was cropped short, and was black with a blueish tinge to it, whom Temari pointed to and said her name was Hinata.
"This is Kiba, he's in the same grade as us." She pointed to a guy with fang like teeth, and a pet dog on his head.
"This is Ino, you've met her." Temari pointed to Ino who was beside Kiba. "She's in her first year here.'' First years are grade 10's.
"This is Hinata's cousin, Neji." Beside Hinata was Neji, who had matching eyes like Hinata, hair that reached below his shoulders that was always tied.
"This is Gaara." She pointed to a red head beside Neji. No...It was THE red head from 10 minutes ago! He was staring at her with those cyan eyes. It was if everything stopped. She just kept staring at those eyes. Just barely hearing Temari introduce to last boy, by the name of Shikamaru who was staring at the sky. But those eyes were so mesmorizing. As if they knew her secret. As if they knew what happened.
"Sakura?" The voice pulled Sakura out of Gaara's eyes. It was Tenten. "Are you alright?"
"Oh! I'm ok! I was just..." Sakura paused, letting the memories flood back. "...remembering something."
"What?" Temari asked sitting beside the boy named Shikamaru.
"Oh, nothing." Sakura replied, then she relised that she was really hungry, since she skipped breakfast. "Let's eat!"
Everyone started eating their lunch boxes, Sakura barely noticed what was happening, except that it was very hot outside, trying not to look at the red head.
'It was really cold this morning...' She thought remembering the morning. 'Hm...'
"We're having a sleepover tonight Sakura, wanna join?" Temari asked.
"Sure." She was snapped back into reality once again. "What time?"
"Come over when you pack your stuff. We're ordering pizza." Tenten replied.
Pizza sounded good. But she barely knew anyone yet. "Who's coming?" She questioned.
"Everyone here." Ino replied with a wave of her hand. Sakura looked around. That would mean...
"Co-ed sleepovers?" She asked with raised eyebrows, then grinned "Count me in!"
"You know, you look pretty and all, but you daze out like an idiot too much." Shikamaru replied with a bored tone.
Sakura threw the pickled radish in her chopsticks at him. "Like your one to talk." She replied getting pissed.
"What the hell! Did you just throw that at me!" He cried almost as pissed as she was. Almost.
"I can throw whatever I want at you punk!" Sakura yelled back.
"Bitch!" Shikamaru yelled at her. Sakura waited until he opened his mouth again. "You son of a bit-!" She stuffed her entire lunch box in his mouth.
"There." She replied calmly a smile crawling over her face. Temari laughed, and Sakura joined her. Sakura felt a drain in her energy suddenly.
'What the-' Sakura jerked her head at the sky. 'Shit...' Dark clouds were in the east, not far from here. It'd probebly rain in an hour or two.
Then she noticed that someone was staring at her. She turned her head. It was Gaara, and he looked annoyed.
'Next time we meet,' Her own words bounced around in her head, and she stood up. 'I'll be sure,' She bowed to Gaara. 'To properly apologize.'
"I'm sorry I didn't relize it sooner! Please punish me as you see fit. I didn't know my rudeness affected you so." Sakura felt so bad. She had been
so rude with him and didn't apologize! What was worse was that he merely sat there staring at her, not accepting her apology. She couldn't stand it.
"Hm...Punishment eh?" Kiba replied with a sly grin. "I guess she's sending Gaara a hidden meaning?" Sakura was turning red. "I wouldn't mind having some of th-"
BAM! Sakura kicked him straight in the face, but he other leg gave out on her, and she was down on one knee.
"Don't count on it Kiba." Sakura replied trying to keep her voice even, but it shook a little. "Say anything like that again, and I'll punch your face in." While everyone was laughing, Sakura took this as a distraction, and breathed in labour breaths, but very quietly too herself so no one would hear. She noticed that Gaara didn't laugh.
'Must be one of those guys that don't show emotions.' But as she was thinking this, she forced herself to stand up, which was a mistake because she started getting light-headed. The bell rang out throughout the school grounds signaling that third period was going to start.
"Sakura, meet us in the parking lot after school kay?" Tenten said, and without a reply, she walked away with Neji to the east wing where their lockers were. Hinata, Ino, Shikamaru, and Kiba all walked to the front where their lockers were convienatly close.
"Shouldn't you be going with Hinata, and Ino?" Temari asked.
"No..." Sakura replied slowly, and took her time getting her breath back. "I'm not in their grade." Gaara's head turned slightly where Temari and Sakura were, but she ignored it.
"But...Your the same age as them right?"
Sakura was getting more and more frustrated. "Yes, I skipped a grade this year."
"Woah! So your only 15?" Temari let shock take over her face. But before Sakura could answer, Temari started running into the building shouting random stuff, leaving her behind with Gaara. She sighed, which was a bad idea because she was having trouble breathing in the first place.Sakura started walking, but stumbled and caught herself just in time. In the corner of her eye, she swore that Gaara was smirking, but he walked much to fast for her to check again. Sakura was left behind yet again, and considered going home in her weakened state. But then again...the fortune she recieved for the day was ominous.
"Your regular routine will cause misfortune today. Do something that you would avoid instead." The flashblack made her start walking to the school again.
'Today will have a big storm.' She thought distantly as she stumbled into the school.
AN/- As you can see, I've made little updates to my story. It's sad that I already messed everything up. XD Well all stories have little flaws right? Ok, no, my stories have little flaws. It's that fact that Ino is taking geography with Sakura is confusing. Since Ino is in a lower grade then Sakura, she should have geo with other first years right? Well I already have a solution! -plays music and dances to it- And I messed the schedule I made for Gaara and Sakura, so...Fuck eh? And, I already have everything planned for my second story, I know how to start it and everything. The problem is that all of my energy is going into this story...So whatever I do, I can't start the second one...AND I don't know how to end this one. I have several different ideas to end my second story, but I don't know which one to choose...v.v Well I'll have a poll with my friends and see kay?
P.S. - Should I be replying to your reviews? O.o
