Sakura laid in her bed, gazing absentmindedly at the plain white ceiling of her small bedroom. Come on! I have to get out of bed and do something! I can't just sit here and mope around over something that was bound to happen! It's the first day of Summer for Pete's sake! Still, thinking about it brought tears to her eyes. Her phone was dinging incessantly, no doubt with notifications from Instagram about her "friends" posting about the beach house they rented together for the Summer, inviting everyone but her.

She let a few tears drop from her eyes. What is wrong with me? What did I ever do to them? I'm not enough. I'm never enough. Bringing her hand up to her face and wiping her tears away, Sakura then reached for her phone and turned it on, immediately seeing the bundle of notifications that hadn't been dismissed yet. Angrily, she cleared all the notifications and turned her phone off, slamming it onto her bed as she sat up.

Rubbing the final remnants of sleep from her eyes, Sakura stood up and looked at herself in the mirror, actually looking at herself for the first time in what seemed like forever. Her long baggy pajama pants and shirt hid her figure completely and her hair was knotted and literally all over the place. She turned away from the mirror and picked up her phone, looking at the new photo her "friends" posted. They were in front of the ocean, looking as happy as could be. Angry tears immediately sprung to her eyes again as she turned off her phone, tossing onto her bed. I'm done! I'm done with them being total jerks to me! From this day forward, I'm not going to just let them treat me like crap! I'm going to change! But not into someone they want me to be, I'm going to change into someone I'm proud to be.

Thrusting her closet door open, she cringed at the number of dark colors in there. Shutting it again, she walked to her aunts' room and opened the door, inwardly praying that she wasn't on a hangover. "Aunt Tsunade?" She asked as she walked into the room. There her aunt was, confidence oozing from her. "What is it Sakura?" She asked, amber eyes boring into her own green ones. "U-um" She started, forcing herself to say the rest of her sentence. "Could you please teach me how to be confident?" She said hurriedly, looking away from Tsunade. It felt like the silence lasted before Sakura jumped when she felt a hand on her shoulder and saw warm amber eyes staring at her.

"Shizune! Cancel all our appointments for the Summer!" Tsunade stated. Shizune rushed into the world with a semi horrified expression on her face. "But-" She started tentatively. Tsunade shook her head. "Let the hospital run on its' own for the Summer! Trust in the staff, we trained them after all! Besides, we need to teach Sakura how to be more confident!" Shizune sighed with resignation, leaving to make a call before coming back five minutes later with a smile on her face, "So, Tsunade, where are we starting?" That was when Sakura knew she would not regret her decision.

A/N: Yes I'm back with another story and no I'm not abandoning my others. If inspiration strikes me for a certain story, I write it. Sorry for any inconvenience! I hope you liked it!
