p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"I got up early today and took a shower and made breakfast. I made a quiche pie in the shape of a star. After that I woke Sasuke up and we ate./p

p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Wait a sec!" I hold my hand out and he looks at me like I'm a mad cow that turned purple. "Just do it. Trust me, I don't bite very hard." He puts his hand in mine very hesitantly.

p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"We reappear in front of the school,/p

p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Sasuke? You ok?" He nods slowly. I know the first time I did that I felt really weird, but I thought Sasuke would be fine. Guess he ain't as strong as I tought./p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Haha." I drag him by his hand that he hasn't taken back yet. It's warm and surprisingly soft, especially since he trains so often. When we get to the classroom Sasuke finally composes himself and quickly takes back his hand. He coughs and takes a deep breath before opeing the dor and walking in./p

p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"For about ten minutes we sit in silence as Sasuke looks in the opposite direction as me./p

p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"After about another twenty minutes a couple people walk in. It's Hina-chan and Shin-chan. I get up and skip over to them./p

By now a few other people have come. Some of the hardcore Sasuke-lovers have arrived and have already started fighting over his seat. I was gonna sit by him today, but I think I'll sit next to Hina-chan./p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"The beginning of the day goes quickly and soon it is time for the exams.

I wave and run out of the room. Sasuke and most of the other kids are outside. Sasuke waits for me by the side of the door frame./p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Congrats!" I slap him on the back just a little too hard and he jolts forward. "Tonight I'm gonna make loads of pies! All kinds." As we start our walk home - I was too excited to use my transportation jutsu - I catch a glimpse of a lonely Naruto sitting on a swing. My smile fades as I see the saddness in his eyes. That's not right! No one should ever be sad./p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Just a second Sasu-chan." He stops and glares at me. I don't smile at him, so he gets kinda confuzzled. I walk over to Naruto and take something out of my lunch. It was a leftover cherry pie. One of teh mini ones I made./p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Hi Naruto!" He looks up surprised. We haven't talked before, so he doesn't really know me./p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Uh, hi." He looks down again/p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""What's wrong?"/p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""..." He remains quiet for a second. "I didn't pass the exam." I pat him on the back./p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""It's okay! Cheer up! I'm sure you'll get it next time for sure." I smile at him and I see some of the saddness dissapear./p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Really?"/p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Yeah! You'll be a great ninja." He seems to perk up and that makes me happy./p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Here." I hold out the cherry pie and he stares at it. "It's for you silly."/p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Oh... uh, thank you." He blushes and takes it from me./p

I wave and run out of the room. Sasuke and most of the other kids are outside. Sasuke waits for me by the side of the door frame./p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Congrats!" I slap him on the back just a little too hard and he jolts forward. "Tonight I'm gonna make loads of pies! All kinds." As we start our walk home - I was too excited to use my transportation jutsu - I catch a glimpse of a lonely Naruto sitting on a swing. My smile fades as I see the saddness in his eyes. That's not right! No one should ever be sad./p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Just a second Sasu-chan." He stops and glares at me. I don't smile at him, so he gets kinda confuzzled. I walk over to Naruto and take something out of my lunch. It was a leftover cherry pie. One of teh mini ones I made./p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Hi Naruto!" He looks up surprised. We haven't talked before, so he doesn't really know me./p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Uh, hi." He looks down again/p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""What's wrong?"/p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""..." He remains quiet for a second. "I didn't pass the exam." I pat him on the back./p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""It's okay! Cheer up! I'm sure you'll get it next time for sure." I smile at him and I see some of the saddness dissapear./p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Really?"/p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Yeah! You'll be a great ninja." He seems to perk up and that makes me happy./p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Here." I hold out the cherry pie and he stares at it. "It's for you silly."/p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Oh... uh, thank you." He blushes and takes it from me./p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Well, bye bye!"/p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Uh, bye." I wave and run off./p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Alright, we can go now," I say to Sasuke. He still looks confused as we walk along./p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"Overall today was a pretty amagazing day! :)/p
