Chapter 3: An Artist Without Talents

| - Kisaragi Residence, Nighttime - |

*Sakura POV

I was working on my arts as usual in my room.

Sakura: *sigh* "It's done..."

I posted it on my social media and I waited for any reaction.

Sakura: "..."

I kept waiting... and I only got a few likes and comments. After that, I decided to check out 'munimunionly' for her latest post, and yeah, she got WAY more than I did.

Sakura: *sigh* "Gonna get ready for her to boast about this tomorrow..." I said as I stared at the ceiling.

I was thinking about how will I get more recognition, and suddenly, my mother barged into my room.

Sakura's Mother: "Sakura, you have a mock exam next week. I hope you study well for it." she said and left me after saying that.

Sakura: "Ah, shit, I forgot she put me on some stupid mock exams..."

I looked at the clock and I decided to rest for the day.

Sakura: *sigh* "I should go to sleep now... I need to rest my head..."

| - The next day - |

| - Lunchtime, Yoba Academy's Hallway - |

I was strolling down the hallway after having lunch. I was having a great time until I saw Ohnaruto Muni...

She noticed me and looked at me with a smug face of her. I immediately threw my face away from her, avoiding eye contact. I didn't waste any of my time and just went straight to my class.

Sakura: *whisper* ("Tch, I don't have any energy to deal with her cocky ass today.") I said with an annoyed face as I walked to my class.

| - Yoba Academy's 1-E |

After I arrived at my class, I rested my head on my desk and tried to take a short nap. And while I was about to drift off to my dream world, someone tapped my shoulder.

Yuka: "Hey, Sakura, what's up?"

Sakura: "Oh, Yuka? Nothin' much..."

Yuka: "Eh~ But, you sure looked down for a while, mind telling me about it?"

Sakura: "Fine..." I said as I sat up straight.

Sakura: "My mother just put me up for some mock exam..."

Sakura: *thought* ("...and a certain bunny girl looked at me with her smug face earlier...")

Yuka: "O-Oh... Are you going to study for it?"

Sakura: "Study? Hell no, I don't even want to be part of it."

Yuka sweatdropped from what I said.

Sakura: "So, why did you approach me? Please don't ask me to go to a gym again..."

Yuka shook both of her hands and said...

Yuka: "No, no, I invite you for a jog this Saturday, you wanna come?"

Sakura: "A jog? Sure, I'll come." I said with a smile.

Yuka smiled when I accepted her invitation.

Yuka: "Nice!! I'll see you on Saturday then!"

Sakura: "Sure, where should we meet? At the park?"

Yuka: "Yup! Don't be late!!" she said as she waved her hand and she returned to her desk with a smile.
