Author's Note:
Yes, another SasoSaku, and here is a short chapter for the Prologue. Don't worry, the rest will definitely be longer, if you had read my other stories, you would know how long I often write. This idea might not be original or whatever, but it had been bugging me every time I try to sleep. Anyway, enjoy :)

Prologue

Hello. I am Haruno Sakura.

Most of you guys should have heard of me before, right? I'm one of those popular kids in Konoha High and I hang out with cool kids in town, having awesome sleepovers and always gossip all day long.

I have a couple of best friends, Ino, Hinata, Naruto and others. These are the people who will go through thick and thin with you, never leaving you even when you're in deep shit like setting an arson at the mayor's building or murdering two kittens and feed them to the sharks.

No, of course I'm not that brave or hardcore to do all these things. I'm just stating an example.

Anyway, these aren't important anymore.

A few days before my birthday, my dad suddenly got into a car accident and died. Everyone close to my dad was sad, especially my mum.

I'm the only child, so I often share my deepest sorrow or secrets to no one other than my best friends. Like I said, they would always go through anything with me, and they're always there to comfort me when I need them.

But good things would not last forever, as stated by my favorite male character from this romance drama I watched last year.

My mum soon healed from the shock of losing her husband and finally had the courage to step out and face the world again. A year or so, she met her other half when she was having this overseas business trip and she came back with him. He's a nice guy, really. He brings me to fancy restaurant and always give me money to buy whatever I want. But the most important thing is, he treated my mum just like how my dad did. They both really love each other.

And soon, they decide to get engage and stuff, and no one is against it. So everything went according to plan.

Their plan.

After a week since they came back from their honeymoon, I'm on a train to the next faraway town. Far away from my home, my school, my friends. My everything.

I've been enlisted into a school sooner than I thought. Because my grades are good, so the very first school that my mum helped me enrolled in accepted me immediately before I was even given a choice.

But I'm still scared.

Since I had entered school in the middle of the semester, everyone had already made best friends with each other. Who would even bother being friends with a pinkette when they are already cool and popular in the school.

I have no one to talk to.

The disdained look I always received by everyone when I first stepped into the school frightens me and soon, I got even more shy, quiet and distant from everyone; even my mum and step dad.

I miss my friends, I want to go back, but I'm afraid to tell my parents. They were living perfectly fine here and both of them were happy together. I know that if my mum were to ever go back to our old home, she would remember those sad memories with my dad, and I don't want her to be sad anymore.

That's why I always kept everything to myself, silently hopping that one day someone, anyone can save me from this loneliness I hate.

And yes.

It finally happened.

Never in my life had I thought that meeting a boy in a sausage costume could change my life.

Hello. I am Haruno Sakura. And this is my story.
