"If you wanted honesty that's all you have to say, I never want to let you down, or have you go, it's better of this way. For all the dirty looks, the photographs your boy friend took, remember when you broke your foot from jumping of the second floor…" don't mind me I'm just listening to my fave song "…I'm not ok. I'm not ok. I'm not ok. You wear me out…."

"Sakura, you'll do the business report, ok?". "But Ino, that's due Wednesday. It's Monday". "I know, but see, I'm busy with the Science report. I'm drained. You'll do it right? Thanks!". "Ino…". And then I heard the beeping of the phone. You know, the one when the other line hung up.
She always does that. Why does she take all these effing projects then just dump them on me and expect me to do it. I punched my pillow, then screamed into it. That Ino, she always thinks I'll clean up after her doesn't she? Little Ms. Perfect owns me after all. Well that bitch could do her own business report. I already did my part, why should I do her share of the work. I rolled on to my side. I was fuming . She was doing it again, taking advantage of me. See? Now that's why we had a fall out in the fifth grade. We became friends again in First year. I thought she had changed but I guess I was wrong.
I sighed. Why can't I get these things off of my chest and say it to her perfect little face? Because she owned me, that's why. Every time a retaliated, she gave me the ice/dagger/sword I-won't –take-shit-from-anyone look, and I come quietly. I clenched the side of my bed tightly and looked at my cork board, pictures of her and me were pinned all over it. I suddenly had the urge to take everything from her in my room and burn it. I wanted to get away from her, little . To become different, be me, not an Ino minion. But the trouble is…she just always wins. I calmed down and turned on my computer. Time to do that business report. I slammed at the keys, still radiating the words, 'I' and 'Hate her'.

I handed her the business report. She flipped through it, then looked at me with that look. "Sakura, it's too short" "-but" "Look, you have to pull your weight around here, I'm already doing most of the work you know? Really, it's like you're not even trying". I froze. Oh crap, I was going to lose it. I tried to calm down, force the bubbling anger down. She handed it to me, "add more". I took it…then ripped it all the way down the middle. "Sakura! What the hell was that?!" she shouted jumping up. "Do it yourself. You are the manager after all". "Sakura…" she said dangerously, she gave me the look. Instead of backing away it made me madder. I tore it into smaller pieces, and threw it at her. She didn't like it. "Ahg! Sakura! What the hell is wrong with you?! You were like this since after the party!". I smiled, "I grew a spine". She turned away slowly, frustrated, "tsh ,loser". That was one of her other nick names for me, and so I responded with what I thought fit her, "brat". She stopped in her tracks. She pivoted around to face me. "Are you ok?" she asked in disbelief. "No, I'm not Ok, you bitchy blonde bimbo". That did it. "Freak!", "Dim wit", "you suck!", "aww ,what a common term. Your cheese crumbled brain can't think of anything else?". People were crowding around us, forming a ring that was gradually tightening. I could hear a chant beginning, "cat fight, cat fight, cat fight…". Ino didn't notice, she just kept staring at me. "I knew it. You just can't take the fact that I'm better than you at everything and I'll always be!" she blurted it out.
The crowd went silent. I went silent. Everything went silent…and then I felt my arm tighten into a fist. I knew instantly what would happen next. I grabbed her long hair, and jerked it with all my might. She shouted, whether in pain or rage I wasn't sure. I pulled her to her knees. But she right away got back on her feet. She swung a punch at me. "Ino, knock it off! It's Sakura!" I heard from the crowd. Her eyes widened then I felt a spam of pain across my face. I saw her hand, she changed it midway, from a punch to a slap. "Ino!", "Sakura!", I recognized those voices and saw Chouji and Shikamaru run out from the crowd. Chouji went to Ino's side, daring the onlookers to make a sound. Shikamaru stood beside me, as if shielding me from the glares of onlookers. Ino was oblivious to all this. She just stared at her shaking hand, then the imprint of her hand on my face. It was turning a nasty shade of red now. "Sakura…" she began, "Sakura , I…", I didn't listen to what else she said. "Whatever", I pushed pass her. The crowd parted for me, and I left.

Ino POV
It seems that news of my fight with Sakura spread across the school like wild fire. That wasn't all. Someone had recorded the whole thing on their phone and was now selling it to students. Freshmen especially wanted to see the "Cat fight of the School Year". I was sick of it already. It had been one whole day and Sakura hadn't talked to me, or even looked at me. We had fights before, sure, but she usually came back after an hour and it was like nothing had happened, now, it felt like a century. She got a lot of dirty looks. I got my share of them too. It seems like the school had split up into Ino Worshippers, or Sakura Followers.
I arrived home, exhausted and confused. Dad wasn't home, probably with mum at the flower shop. I turned the corner to find someone stretched on my bed. He looked at me, "had a rough day?". "I nodded, "yeah. I messed up big time with Sakura". "You kind had it common". "Jeez, you're such a devil sometimes".
Sakura POV
I walked home from school, slowly. I didn't feel like facing a load of homework when I got back. I felt torn right now, another reason I didn't want to come home just yet. Sasuke doesn't strike me as the person to give good advice when you were having trouble with your friends. Actually…II didn't feel so bad. I felt exhilarated, now that I got to stand up to Ino. But I was still torn. I decided to take a short cut, I went through a deserted alley (don't worry, I'm not dumb enough to choose the dangerous ones).
I kept walking but I stopped, up ahead was an interesting scene. I saw a kid with spiky blonde hair and sparkling blue eyes. Hello Naruto Uzamaki. Naruto is my hyperactive, screw ball of a classmate. Sure he was funny and nice in a way but still…he's still an idiot with ramen for a brain. But, here's something interesting. He's with a girl.
She's pretty. She's tall with a lean yet somehow petite figure. She had creamy skin and long midnight blue hair. Her very aura suggests mild, timid, gentle, in fact it was boosted by the sweet, , white summer dress. What I found most interesting was her eyes, which were colored pale lavender, almost white. Almost.
I saw Naruto grin dorkily like the dork he was. She seemed pretty nervous, fidgeting, adjusting her dress. It looked like they were on a date but then Naruto held her hand and she turned deep red. She looked like she was about to faint. Good thing she didn't because Naruto, being the moron he was, probably wouldn't know what to do. She smiled and said something, probably 'good bye' because they waved, and went different directions.
I smiled as I watched them Naruto was way lucky getting a girl like that. I looked at her again trying to guess what brand her dress was. It was cute, something I might buy during my shopping trip with Sasuke. Suddenly I noticed something strange. This was a one way alley, now crossovers or anything. So why was she walking towards the wall?
She stopped a step away from the wall, then with grace that was hardly human, she somersaulted over it and landed on the roof of the three story apartment, hardly looking like it was anything out of the ordinary. Oh. My. Gosh.
I changed my gaze and saw Naruto staring at something which could be only described as pure panic. Only thing is, he wasn't staring at her. He was staring at me.
Here we go, chapter three is done. I hope you enjoyed it! Three more people may still review and pick a character.
