Chapter 3 - Won't Back Down

- Chapter 3 -

~ Temari's P.O.V ~

I think I'm about to commit a murder.

As we were walking home together, Ino suddenly started following me back to my apartment. Now she won't leave me alone. "Ino! Go home!" I barked at her, though instead of listening she clenched onto my arm.

"Nooo! My parents are gonna kill me when I tell them I got expelled again!" Ino whined while clenching my arm tighter.

'And that's my problem how?' I thought to myself as I tried to get her to release my arm. After a while, I gave up as I let out an irritated sigh. I don't know why she's so scared anyway? Her parents aren't even at home. None of our parents are.

Not that you might have already guessed it, but our parents are all a bunch of rich bastards who could give a shit less about their kids. That's why we attend private schools for the elite and pristine. Which are also filled with people who take money for granted and spend it as if they earned it.

Our parents are too busy to hang out with us since taking care of their businesses will always come first.

They left us here, in one of the wealthiest neighbourhoods in the country when I was only fourteen. At the time it might have sounded great though after a while you realize that they didn't do it because they wanted the best for you, but because now you were one less problem for them.

"Temari your hands bleeding!" Ino yelled.

I looked down at my hands only to see that she was right. I hadn't even realized it yet but I had been clenching my hands so hard that it actually drew blood. I licked it clean as I showed it to her. "No blood now."

Her expression didn't change, though at least she let go of my arm. I was starting to lose feeling. I guess you can say that my parents are a pretty tough topic for me.

But, I guess it's not all bad. Our parents pay for all our living expenses and at least they try to contact us as much as they can, even though that's still only a hand full of times throw out the year.

I also got a good group of friends out of it all, so should I really be complaining? I can still remember how we all meet, how we were basically forced to live together, and how quickly I made up my mind about them. We were strangers and that's exactly how I wanted it to stay.

Though the world has a funny way of bringing people together, and before long I had made friends even after I thought I had already forgotten how to. I didn't make it easy for them, but maybe that's why I like them all the more.

Though, I digress.

"Ino, you're scared now but you don't look too scared when you walked out those school doors with that smirk on your face,"

"Well I don't regret it, I liked the fact that we won't be going back to that stupid, crummy school, but my parents are also going to wring my neck for it,"

We finally got to my apartment, but with Ino still following close behind.

"Well whatever your parents do to you, at least it won't be as bad as that time you bought that entire Gucci store." I chuckled while unlocking the door to my apartment.

Ino grounded. "Don't remind me."

The moment we walked into my apartment I went straight to the phone. I wanted to tell my parent's right way before they ask me why I didn't tell them sooner. Plus it's pointless to avoid the inevitable.

- RING RING -

Though before I could even dial a number the phone rang. I quickly answered. "Hello~?" My mother's voice sang on the phone.
