Chapter: 2

Sakura's Dairy

Dear dairy,

If my handwriting seems little squiggly it's not me-it's the bumps in the road. And if it takes me awhile to get used to writing in a dairy, it's because I never had one before.

Ino's Dad has been listening to golden oldies on the car radio for almost an hour and I packed my Walkman in my trunk.

Notice how I say 'trunk' as in singular. Ino packed two whole trunks-plus-a backpack-plus a suitcase!

Her comment two days ago:

Flashback

"Of course I'm packing all of my clothes." She was digging through her closet like an archeologist." You never know when I might need them".

So I said," Like your toe shoes?" I picked them up and waved them in the air.

Ino rolled her eyes so far back in her head that I bet she could see her own brain. She grabbed the shoes back. "Sakura, Konoha Academy has a whole performing arts centre-with stadium seating," she said. I guess she's planning on making a few appearances there.

As for me, I made sure I packed my softball, my glove, even bat. Konoha has a killer team.

Last summer, we drove to the school visit. The first person who met us there was Madam Tsunade, the headmistress. She showed us around the school and told us all about it.

I'm worried about making the Konoha team. What if I'm not good enough?

I'm also worried about not having my math tutor around to help me with my homework and to study for tests. I mean what if this new school teaches space-age maths? And what if they don't allow calculators? I'm so doomed!

"We're almost there!" Ino's Dad called back over the front seat.

The Konoha Academy for Girls is the most awesome school I ever saw. For one thing, it's not just one building. There's a separate building for library, the computer centre, the performing arts centre-even a whole building just for math.

The dorms, or house, as Konoha Academy calls them, are all lined up one long street. And there are trees all over the place.

But the coolest sight is the Main building. It's made of gray stone with ivy crawling all over the walls in the summer.

"It's not school it's a castle!" I said. "Yeah" Ino said and sighed. "Now all it needs is a handsome prince!"

"Or a fire-breathing dragon!" I joked.

But Ino has a point. This whole boarding school adventure is sort of like a fairytale.

OMG Ino has just sighted Konoha Academy. I will write to you later!

Ino's Dairy

Dear dairy,

You will never guess in a gazillion years where Sakura and I are. The student lounge! In our previous school there was only teachers lounge!

The Konoha Academy is exactly the way I remembered it. Except today it's filled with girls and one of the cutest boys I ever saw! I was totally psyched until I pointed a boy out to Sakura. "Reality check! Reality check!" Sakura announced in my ear. "This is a a girls' school, remember?"

Miss Tsunade was exactly the way I remembered her, too.

I think you girls are going to like The Konoha Academy," Miss Tsunade said from her desk.

Sakura and I smiled at other.

"Sakura have a cousin who goes to The Konoha Academy for Boys. Dad went on. His name is Kiba Inzuka.

Mrs. Tusnade nodded. The Konha Academy for Boys is right down the road.

"Then you'll be happy to know that the Konoha Academy both Boys and Girls meet together each week for classes," Mrs. Tsunade said. She looked at the paper on her desk. "You'll be joining the boys for history on Tuesday and lab every other Monday."

"Boys?" I pumped my fist in the air. "Ye-es!"

Mrs. Tsunade looked at me.

"I mean….yes, that's good to know," I said quickly.

As Mrs. Tsunade spoke I realized what a different world boarding school would be.

Then Mrs. Tsunade handed Sakura and me our gym suits and our schedules. We have three classes together English, science lab, and history.

"Now, girls," Mrs. Tsunade said with a smile. "After I direct your father to the business office, I'll show you the student lounge. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised."

Mrs. Tsunade wasn't kidding! The first thing Sakura and I saw when we walked in there were video games, a few a Ping-Pong tables, a CD player and big cushy chairs and a whole row of snack machines.

Two teenage girls sat at a table playing chess. Two more were hitting a Ping Pong ball back and forth. Another girl with long black hair was tapping on the fish tank and making fish faces.

I took a deep breath. This was that moment I had been waiting for. Now was the perfect opportunity to start making friends at Konoha Academy.

Of course, Sakura headed straight for the video games. "Cool! Alien Morons from Mars –my favourite!"

I guess Sakura wasn't worried about her social life.

Maybe food would help me find the courage to talk to someone. I made beeline to the snack machine for grape fruit rool-up. I was just about to tear open when the girl with dark hair walked over.

"Hi," she said. "I'm Akari Chiyo."

"Ino Yamanaka," I said, smiling . "Are you in the seventh grade too?"

Akari chuckled. "You mean First Form?"

"Duh-uh!" I gave my forehead a little whack.

"What do they call teachers around here?"

Akari smiled. "Teachers"

"Good" I sighed.

After saying a quick "hi" to Sakura, Akari challenged me to a fierce game of Ping-Pong. I stashed my fruit roll-up in my pocket and grabbed a paddle.

While Akira and I wacked the little ball back and forth she clued me in on the school. She reminded me that everyone on a floor shares one bathroom. That does not thrill me. I mean, what if someone washes their feet in the sink? Or spits on the faucet while they brush their teeth?

"You'll get over it," Akari said. She gave the ball a slug. "And if anybody gets gross, just bring it to the head."

I wrinkled my nose. "Whose head?"

Akari began to giggle. "The headmistress-Mrs. Tsunade!"

I felt myself blush. Another Konoha blooper!

"And check this out," Akari said, bouncing the Ping-Pong ball on the table. "At the end of the school year Mrs. Tsunade invites the girls with the best grades to tea."

"Tea?" I asked "The only time I drink tea is when I have the flu."

The door opened and two girls walked in. As the two girls headed for the snack machine Akari came around the table and whispered: "The one in the blue sweater is Temari-The Queen of First Form," Akari explained. "She throws all the best parties. But is she doesn't like you, stay out of her way."

"Who's the other girl?" I asked.

"Ayame Hina," Akari said. "One of Temari's gazillion friends."

That's when it hit me if I could get in with this Temari and her friends, fitting in at Konoha Academy would be piece of cake!

When then Ping-Pong game was over(I won!), Akari and I sat down on a purple couch to compare schedules.

"Way cool!" Akari said. "You're in my English class!"

"I love English," I told Akari. "It's always been my favourite subject."

Akari looked skeptical. "Oh, yeah?" she asked. "I guess you haven't met Mrs. Anko yet."

"Miss Anko is that our teacher?" I asked excitedly. "What's she like? Is she nice?"

"Um," Akari said, standing up. "I have to go to my room now bye."

I watched Akari leave the student lounge. She was nice but she sure acted strange when she mentioned Ms. Anko. Whatever. Maybe English isn't her best subject.

I leaned back on the cushy purple couch. I was about to put my feet up but I stopped in mid-air Dad hates it when I put my sneakers in the couch.

Dad…..?

Hey wait a minute Dad won't be here to tell me to take my feet off the couch. All of a sudden, I felt my first small pang of home sickness. Not really a pang- more like a ping.

But when I saw Sakura by the video games I felt better. With my Best friend as my roommate, this school ought to feel something like home. As long as her side of the room is still a mess!

Oh, well. It's a good thing I didn't have my feet on the couch because Dad just walked in. I'll catch you later, Dairy. When Sakura and I are settled in our new room!

Done thanks for the review.

My exams are finally over
