June 12

Dear Diary,

Today's the first day of summer vacation. Mother said that we'll be leaving for my uncle house in Kyoto. She said something about old temples and beautiful landscapes. Then she gushed on and on about how it was too bad it wasn't spring and how pretty those cherry blossoms would be. Either way, it seems painfully dull. The only thing that makes it worse is that Sasuke's coming. Ugh! He's that total jerk whose brother owns some big company. I mean, he drop-dead gorgeous with his pale skin and handsome features, but he's such a jerk! One good thing is that I get to see Naruto. He told me that he had something to tell me. I can't wait. He's the adopted son of my uncle's friend. He's not as cute as Sasuke, but he's definitely worth noticing. After all, he's blond with blue eyes! Ohh, I can't wait

"Sakuraaaaa Sakuraaaa!!!"

What did she want?! And at the worst possible time. I'm busy!!

"Whaaaaaat?!!" I yelled, "Can't it wait?"

Her voice was stern and it sounded like she was impatient.

"You still have to pack!!!"

I groaned. Not now! The trip was still a couple of hours away! I still have plenty of time to pack if I write for a couple of minutes!

"Not now! I'll do it later!"

No reply came from downstairs, I can just imagine my mother shaking her head and muttering about how bad teenagers where these days. I felt a bit more cheerful at the thought. My concentration was broken now. So I locked up my pink diary and stuck into a drawer at my left. After I closed the drawer, I started up my laptop to log onto AIM. While waiting for the computer to load, I stared at the picture from last year. In it, I was smiling as Naruto laughed in the background. Sasuke was cold and aloof as always. I sighed, I am so lucky. Two cute guys to visit in the summer, was more than most people had, even if one was a major jerkface.

My computer had automatically logged onto AIM as I was daydreaming and someone was already IMing me! It was XxblondebabexX, or Ino. She was my best friend in Kyoto.

XxblondebabexX: hiya billboard brow!

XxblondebabexX: no can do. cya!

o.pinkcherryblossom.o has now signed off.

Man, she never keeps secrets this well! It must be something really important. I can't wait!! Wait, what time is it? 3:00?! Augh, we have to leave in 2 hours!!! I have to start packing.

I logged off my laptop and rushed over to my closet. I dragged out my black suitcase and started throwing clothes in. Let's see, a cute furry jacket just in case, and my cherry pink bikini! A few hair accessories, jewelry, shoes, skirts, 2 formal eveningwears and some kimonos. Then I zipped up my suitcase and attended to my furry pink bag. It had a long strap to go over one shoulder and across my waist. I slipped my laptop and my diary into it. Then I stuffed some cute pencils and pens into the side pocket. That should do!

"Sakuraaa, we have to get going!!!"

"Coming, mother!!"

I grabbed the handle of my suitcase and slung my bag across my chest as I hurried downstairs. My mom was just going out the door as I came down.

"Well, this is certainly a surprise."

I laughed happily as I said, "Contrary to popular belief, I don't hole up in my room for the whole summer."

I was relieved that my mom had some humor left in her. My dad and her have been a bit edgy since I dyed my hair pink. They thought it was unnatural, but it's certainly not my fault that they named me Sakura while I had dull brown hair! Pink was perfect for me, it went with my natural turquoise eyes. I've always wondered why my eyes were that color. Everyone else's was black or brown. Except for Naruto, but I suspect that he has some foreign blood in him. Unlike me, I was purely Japanese.

My father had started the car already and beckoned me in. I stepped into the car and sat in the backseat. It was a few hours away from my home in Tokyo. Uncle Hiroishi lived somewhere near the temples in Kyoto. The last time I visited was when I was in fifth grade. That's when I met that unbelievably cute jerkface, Sasuke Uchiha. I met Naruto a year later. He was a lot nicer, although I think that he had a bit of a crush on me. I was still obsessed with Sasuke, no matter how he had turned me down. He never went on a date even though he was always asked. He was gorgeous, he was more popular than of the older students even then. I never really realized what a jerk he was until the beginning of senior high school.

"Sasuke-kun!! We're in the same homeroom! Let's make this a good year!"

"…."

Oh well, I guess he's too busy anyway. But he's so cute…swoon…

"Bye, Sasuke-kun! Have a good day!"

I turned around the corner just to hear another popular boy from school say to Sasuke:

"She's cute, cuter than most anyway. Why don't you date her?"

"It's none of your business. She's just another idiot fangirl with a facelift, dyed hair and colored contacts."

"Harsh words, man. I think she's cute!"

"Then why don't you date her?"

"Can't you see? She only has eyes for you, and besides, I have a girlfriend already."

"Still, she'll go away soon enough."

"Yeah. Now, about that trigonometry homework you were supposed to help me with?"

"Oh, let's go to the library, I don't want to be mobbed by fangirls again."

The nerve of him! 'Just another idiot fangirl with a FACELIFT??!!!' That was so insulting. I had no facelift and I don't use colored contacts! That's just the way my eyes are. I wouldn't go to those measures just to impress him. Well, actually, maybe I would. But still! You could imagine his surprise when I walked right up to him the next morning and slapped him. Or attempted to, at least. I had forgotten that he was martial arts and kendo champion. He ducked and flipped me over on my back before he smirked and walked away. My arm hurt for the rest of the day and by the end, I hated his guts and wanted nothing more then have a truck make him roadkill.

"We're here!"

Eh? Oh! I guess we arrived while I was daydreaming! I opened the car door quickly and ran across the grassy field to Uncle Hiroishi's huge house.

"Ino-piiiig!!! I'm heereee!!!!!"

My friend ran down from the open door to greet me. We hugged each other while shouting and laughing.

"You're finally here, billboard brow."

"Glad to be here, piggy."

"Welcome to your second home!!"

"C'mon, Ino-pig, I haven't been here since I was what, eight?"

"So? You're here, and that's all that matters. C'mon, let's go to your room!!"

"Okay!"

She dragged me into the house and up 3 flights of stairs and into a huge master bedroom. Sunlight streamed from the glass pentagonal ceiling and 6 huge windows surrounded the whitewashed room. There was a balcony out front. Two plushy queen beds(next to each other) with different bedspreads were in the middle with wooden bedside table with table lamps on them. Another pair of desks was stationed at opposite sides with more lamps. A huge plasma TV screen was across from both the beds. Two doors at either sides revealed walk-in closets. There were two huge bathrooms with a separate shower and Jacuzzi. Other decorations, like windchimes and flowers adorned the room.

"Oh. My. God."

My jaw hung open. It was so beautiful!! This was the room of my dreams!! Beside me, Ino was jumping up and down with excitement.

"Do you like it?"

"I LOVE IT!!"

I shrieked and hugged her.

"When did this exist??!!"

"Since 3 months ago, your uncle added this just for you!"

"Why??"

"I guess it would be safe to tell you now…"

"Tell me what??"

"That you'll be living here for 1 year."

"WHAT?!"

I was astonished. So that was why I finally came. I couldn't believe it. Why this year? Ino's watery blue eyes stared at me, puzzled.

"Aren't you happy?"

"Um…I guess so..but why?"

"Because your mom and dad are going to tour Europe with my mom and dad."

"WHAT?!"

"You didn't know?"

I sunk down on to the feathery bed. When did this happen? Why was I kept in the dark?

"You're not mad are you?"

Finally, I managed a shaky reply.

"No, just surprised."

"Oh, ok. You want to go see the boy's room?"

"Sure! Wait, why are your eyes blue, Ino-pig?"

My friend laughed easily, as if the answer were obvious.

"So I would look better, duh! What's blonde hair without blue eyes? They're colored contacts, unlike your gorgeous turquoise eyes."

"Oh…thanks."

"Now are we going or not?"

"We're going!"

I squealed with surprise as Ino dragged me out the door and the end of the long hallway. She grasped the doorknob and opened it with a flourish. It had the same glass ceiling and balcony. There were walk-in closets and huge bathrooms too. Except the beds were covered with different bedspreads. Instead of windchimes and flowers, there were weapons and scrolls hanging everywhere. Stacks of video games lay next to plasma screen TV with all the video gam consoles known to man. Suddenly, a pair of tan arms wrapped around my waist.

"Hie Sakura-chan! Long time no see!!"

"Naruto-kun!!" I squealed and turned around to hug him,"Hiya!!"

He turned to Ino and asked:

"She knows already, right?"

"Yeah, but she doesn't know about the other one."

"Oh."

Both of their blue eyes sparkled mischievously.

I smiled, "Is there something you're not telling me?"

"YEP!!"

Both of them laughed loudly. Before I could confirm my suspicions, I heard a familiar voice behind them.

"Yo."

Sasuke!

"How are you doing, Sakura-san?"

"None of your business," I glared at him. His arrogant expression didn't change as he smirked down at me. Instead of speaking to me, he turned to Naruto and Ino and said, " She's here." My spiteful thoughts stopped in their tracks at his words.

I glared at Ino and Naruto, "Who's here?"

At that minute, a lavender clad figure appeared from behind Sasuke. My head snapped at the sound of her light footsteps. As I looked at her, I couldn't take my eyes off. She looked like a model! Or rather, she probably was! She had blue tinted black hair that was tucked behind one ear with a flower. She had gray eyes with streaks of light purple in it. Her skin was pale white and she wearing a gorgeous silk purple kimono with lavender designs on it. Her hands were holding a fan with a silk tassel hanging from it.

Naruto hurried over to her side and led her over to us. They were holding hands. Oh. My. God. It can't be that.

"Sakura-chan, Ino-chan, I'd like to introduce you to Hyuuga Hinata. She's my girlfriend!"

Ino's eyes were wide.

"Naruto-kun! She's so beautiful!"

Then she ran over to Hinata and hugged her. Her cheeks were flushed with excitement.

"I've heard so much about you!! It's so nice to me you in person!!"

"It's nice to see you too, Ino-san."

"No no! It's just Ino! After all, if you're his girlfriend, then you're one of my best friends!"

I was immediately jealous. That girl looked like a super model and her voice sounded so light and musical! She didn't look older than me and seemed pretty shy. I summed up my courage and said:

"Nice to see you, Hinata-san! I'm so surprised!!"

"I wish you luck, Sakura-san."

Her voice was very soft, almost a whisper, but I caught her words. Wishing me luck? For what? Naruto chuckled, "I forgot to tell you, Sakura-chan, she's a bit of a psychic actually."

Now he tells me? Oooo, she's so perfect! What I wouldn't give to be like her. A perfect, thin body, pale white skin and looks that could kill! Now she comes up with a prediction or something? Argh! I tried to calm down as I said:

"Thank you, Hinata-san."

She smiled a mysterious smile and walked away with Naruto at her side.
