7:00

Oh god! I did it again! I was social! I spoke out! This really doesn't lead to much good! I was making (another) delivery to the Hanuro household and sakura went to sign for it, and the pity just overloaded and I swallowed and said.

"You should really get help. He has no right to hurt you."

She just looked at me with fear in her eyes. "Um, I don't know…er… I don't know what your- your talking about! I fell… that's where-where these… um… These came from…"

I shake my head. "If you ever wanna talk, just find me."

I guess I didn't mind saying that because nobody would ever find me anyway, due to invisible-ness. She swallows hard and stutters some more before I drive off.

See? I don't know what I've gotten myself into!

I'm having savoury pancakes for dinner tonight. Mmm…. With mushrooms and tasty things… very worried about what I've gotten myself into, but savoury pancakes make everything better.

Monday 25/2/15 – only 3 more days till autumn, where it'll just get colder from here on out- yay! Cold-ness!

We have a book report to do on two of our favourites from the piles of books Iruka gave us; turns out we didn't have to read them all, we just didn't listen.

He thought we had been enthusiastic… Hahaa… sucker. We're just lazy.

Gaara says he only read one book and that he's screwed. I did the same thing, so I can't talk, we agreed to do one each then swap, the other would change a few words, and viola! Instant assignment!

Hehehehehehhehehehe. It's good having friends.

My birthday in exactly two months today, it'll be in the holidays. YAY!

Problem found with me and Gaara's plan. We both read the same book. Ok, we are screwed. I think I may go to Sasuke. I'm THAT desperate.

Wednesday 27/2/15 – didn't write yesterday- have a science test- studying

Yesterday was boring. Today was boring. After work. Bored.

…………………………………………………………………………………………..

Friday 1/3/15 - OH MY GOD!!! IT'S MARCH!! ONLY ONE MONTH 25 DAYS UNTILL MY BIRTHDAY!!!! Why I care? Because that means I can FINALLY stop being illegally on my own and START LIVING AGAIN!

YESTERDAY MADE UP FOR ALL THE BORING DAYS I'VE HAD IN MY ENTIRE LIFE PUT TOGETHER!!!! IT COMES SECOND ONLY TO THE PEACHES INCIDENT!!!

I was coming out of science, it was lunch time, and I was just settling into my loner's seat and enjoying my quiet time when sakura came up, she looked terrible.

She sat down, and was quiet for a long while. I just sat there, and then it came out. It was like an overflowing of words, bubbling up her throat and tumbling out in a verbal waterfall.

"I needed somebody to talk to and you said I could and I don't know what to do and I have trouble breathing and im scared Sorano!" it all came out fast, as if she had been working herself up to say it.

I slide over, and I didn't know what to do, so I hugged her. And she clung to me and the tears overflew like the words had.

I pat her back awkwardly. "Why can't you breathe?" I ask, suddenly frowning. This could be serious.

She hiccups, and continues sobbing for a while before she sniffs and finally readies herself to speak. "He-he pushed me, and I-I-" she takes a deep breath. "I fell down the stairs, and not it hurts when I breath and when I walk and-and-" she broke off and started crying again.

We sit all lunch and she cries and talks, most of it I don't catch because of the wails and sobs. Good thing my loner's corner is so secluded.

When the lunch bell rang (half time) she sniffed and thanked me in a mumble and ran off to the bathroom. I sat there in confusion. I really have gotten in over my head. This is NOT GOOD!

Then Gaara wandered over. "Well. That was interesting."

I stiffen. "You-"

"I won't say anything. You seem to be in popular demand lately." He puts a bottle on the table. "Here."

It was vanilla coke.

I nearly fall of my seat. "I should take offence, but because it's vanilla coke I won't…" I glare at him. He grins and sits down next to me.

I sigh. "I sort of miss being invisible. It was so much nicer." He shakes his head. "When it was just you and me, and I would have to walk behind you to avoid being run over." He snorts with laughter as he recalls the many times it's happened. "And the time one kid threw sand at you." I laugh. "He'll never be the same."

Gaara looks at me sourly. "The vanilla coke wasn't good for you, was it?"

I giggle. "I doubt it- ohhh… Iruka is here." Iruka was coming around the corner. We sit up.

"Hello, I was looking for Sorano, Sasuke told me I could find you here-" he nodded at Gaara. "Well. Nobody tried out for the debating team."

"Um… yes." I say, I feel Gaara take the vanilla coke from me.

"This isn't good for you." he whispered.

Iruka didn't hear this. "Well. We need one, so instead I've just taken the top four students and voila. Instant team."

I freeze. "What?" I ask sharply.

"So it's you, Shikamaru, Sasuke and Sakura."

I nearly choke. "W-What!?"

"You'll do it, wont you?"

"N-no! I-I can't speak or-um, I don't- I won- erm, i-"

Gaara glared at Iruka-Sensei. "You've made her stutter. She won't talk normally for the rest of the day now."

Iruka sensei seemed to ignore Gaara's glared-warning. I elbowed him in my stuttering and gave him a look that said 'Don't mess with the teachers'.

"It's going to be fun, we'll have students from all over the country come, from the Sound, and Sand and Wave."

"De-DEBATING!?"

"Yes."

"I can't talk! I stutter! Im shy! I-I… I!"

"You can be fourth speaker. They don't talk. But your coming 3rd in the class, so you can't be left out Sorano."

"I-I-"

"Just think about it, okay? I can talk to your parents if I must."

There is quiet. It is deadly, and I slam my fist on Gaara's to stop him doing something he'll regret.

Iruka goes off, and Gaara growls under his breath, I glare at him. "I can take care of myself. I've been doing so for the last 5 years." I snap, even though im still jittery from Iruka's news.

Gaara looks at me. "Doesn't mean I can't have a go."

"I don't need it." I glare at him. He shrugs, and leaves.

Just like that. He leaves. Fine. Be that way. Yeah. Just leave.

Yep. Nothing much happened for the rest of the day. Now I'm late for work and Gaara is angry with me, not to mention the fact sakura is being beaten to death and I'M ON THE FREAKING DEBATING TEAM AND IF I DON'T GO IN IT IRUKA WILL CALL MY PARENTS AND I'LL BE SENT INTO FOSTER CARE AND DIE A HORRIBLE HORRIBLE DEATH IN A TRAGIC BUS CRASH!!!

Going to work. Goodbye. I'm not catching a bus.

………………………………………………………………………………………………

Midnight – can't sleep – dunno if it's Friday or Saturday so it's just midnight-day.

It's autumn. I wonder when the Lake will freeze over.

Well work was a little pick up at least. I was late and the executive yelled at me but Sasuke came in and said that I was there best employee and did not wish for me to be treated that way. I hugged him as soon as we left the room.

"I love you, I hope you know that!" Sasuke sighed and pried me off him and handed me the list to deliver things.

Once I had delivered my crap, I sat on the grain bag. "Sasuke, were you asked to debate?" I ask.

He nods. "Yeah, I heard you were too."

"Yup, are you doing it?"

He nods. "I am, otherwise my father would kill me." He says bitterly. "You?"

I nod solemnly. "Otherwise Iruka will call my parents."

We sit in silence for a while, and grumble moodily. "And what makes it worse is that girly sakura is in it too." Sasuke said nastily. "Like she'll be much help anyway, unless she can flirt with the other team enough to distract them."

I frown at him. "Leave Sakura alone, like you can talk Emo-Mc-Phee."

"Did you just call me Emo-Mc-Phee?"

"Yes." I say stiffly, glaring at him.

"Great. Now im stuck with sakura and somebody who calls me Emo-Mc-Phee." He sighs.

"And Shikamaru." I remind him, he groans.

"Great."

Naruto came in then, he hasn't been in for a while. "So, given any thought to-"

"No." I say immediately, I know what he would ask.

"Pl-"

"No."

"Bu-"

"If I say 'maybe' will you go away?" I ask him irritably. He thinks he's won, and grins and walks out of the room. "Hahaha. Sucker." I smile to myself and Sasuke sighs again.

That's about it. Emo-Mc-phee… Where I come up with these things I don't know.
