Secret

Part 1

It was the last days of summer vacation. Sakura Haruno was lounging in her room, listening to music and enjoying the last rays of sunlight that were filtering through her open window. She was dressed in a pair of blue comfy shorts and an emerald tee which complimented her pink hair and emerald green eyes. Her pink hair was neatly tied into a bun on top of her head.

It was just after sunset that a loud and obnoxious ringing filled the room followed by the ringing of the bell, thus ruining the peace and tranquility of the room.

"What the hell!! I am coming, I am coming" yelled sakura as she checked her phone. It turned out it was Ino Yamanka, sakura old childhood friend, she answered the call as she moved to see who was ringing the bell.

"What is it Ino? No need to get so impatient" answered sakura.
"Well! Big forehead I wouldn't call you if you would just answer the door already" replied Ino

"Hold on a moment Pig and stop ringing the bell, I heard you already, sheesssh" answered back sakura.

"You couldn't hold on a sec, could you? Any way what brought you here, aren't you supposed to be at your family summer house" asked sakura.

"Hehehee!!! Sorry forehead, I couldn't resist. Anyway I just got back this morning and since I missed you soooo much I decided to come see you. Doesn't this make me such a great friend?" answered Ino.

Ino Yamanka, sakura best friend since childhood stood at the door dressed in a pale peach dress wearing matching flip flops and a white clutch in her hand. Her blonde hair was tied in a high ponytail reaching her waist.

"Really Ino! Why do I feel like you just wanted to get away from those little cousins of your?" asked sakura.
"Who wouldn't want to get away from those brats, you won't believe what those kids did to my room it looks like a tornado took place their and mum was all 'Don't yell at them, they are just playing'" ranted Ino.
"Okay, I get it; you just came here to get away from your family" said Sakura half listening to Ino rant.
"By the way, I decided to call the girls over for a sleepover at your house, it would be so awesome, we could all hang and talk about our summer. I can't wait" Ino declared excitedly.
"Hold on! You invited the girls and you didn't bother to tell Me." yelled sakura.
"Opsie!! Hehehe... my bad", answered Ino nervously.
"Seriously Ino you are so... you know what forget it, help me clean up the place before they get here.", said sakura.
"Fine, I'll help you clean but we are gonna do what I say at the sleep over", answered Ino.

Both got to cleaning the house and setting up some snacks for the sleepover. It wasn't long before they were all done. Ino decided to change into a purple tee with white shorts while sakura just decided to stay in the same clothes feeling too lazy to get up and change.

It wasn't long before the bell rang and sakura got up to answer the door.

"Hi sakura chan!", greeted Hinata meekly.
"Hey Hinata, welcome. Come on in." greeted back sakura

Hinata Hyuga, Sakura and Ino best friend from middle school, stood at the door nervously dressed in a pale lavender shirt with a jean jacket and a white skirt with white open toed sandals. Her violet hair was left alone as it cascaded down her back. She nervously entered the house and greeted Ino.

"How have you both been sakura chan and ino chan?" asked Hinata shyly. "Great hina chan. How have you been? ", asked sakura.
Ino just stood there eyeing hinata.
"Is something wrong ino chan?", hinata asked.
"No no it's just that you have completely stopped stuttering, I am so proud of you girl", replied ino with a smile.
"I have been practicing but sometimes I end up stuttering", replied hinata.
"Well that's good. Keep it up hina chan", encouraged sakura.
They entered the living room and sat down and begin talking about what they had been doing this summer when the bell ranged for the second time.
"Looks like Tenie is here." Ino said while getting up to get the door.

"Tenten! You're here! Let's get this party started", ino exclaimed.

Tenten entered the house and greeted sakura and hinata. She was dressed in a pair of combo pants with a black shirt with white printed words saying 'I am athletic' with black sneakers. Her brown hair was tied into two buns on either side of her head.

"Hey girls!", greeted tenten.
"Hey welcome" greeted back everyone.

"So not that we are all here, let's get this sleepover started already", interrupted ino.
"What do you wanna do anyway?" , inquired tenten.
"We could watch a movie", answered ino.
"How about a horror movie, we could watch Annabelle", suggested tenten.
"That sounds nice, we should watch it" agreed hinata.
"Well then I'll get the snacks and the drinks" said sakura and moved towards the kitchen getting the popcorns and chips and cans of juices.

The movie started with tenten and sakura sitting on the sofa with a bowl of popcorn between them, while ino and hinata were sitting on the floor with the bowl of chips in front of them.

After three hours the movie ended with ino clutching on to hinata who was looking as pale as a ghost. Whereas sakura was holding the cushion in front of her like a shield and tenten looked amused of their actions.

"Well that was one interesting movie", said tenten.
"We are never watching a horror movie again", exclaimed sakura.
"I agree with sakura chan, no more horror movies again", agreed hinata.
"Come on, it wasn't that scary. I'll admit that there were some scenes that were kind of scary but that much", defended tenten.
"Kind of, are you crazy? My heart almost stopped when that little girl ran towards the door and suddenly............... just thinking gives me the chill", spoke ino.

"Fine no more horror movie until next time." Tenten finally agreed. "Although I am feeling a bit hungry now", added tenten as an afterthought.
"Well lets order pizza then", chimed in ino.
"Sakura chan, we should order pizza for dinner", hinata told sakura.
"Kay, I'll call for a delivery", said sakura.

After ten minutes, sakura came back having ordered the pizza.
"While we wait for the pizza to arrive, how about playing truth and dare", inquired ino.
"No way pig, we can play that later, I don't think I have the energy to deal with your crazy dares at the moment", interrupted sakura.
"Nobody asked you forehead, I bet tenten and hinata won't mind playing it", asked ino.
"I agree with sakura chan, we can play later", added hinata.
"I feel too lazy to play truth and dare", admitted tenten.
"Fine, we won't play it for now", agreed ino almost sullenly.

"By the way, have you all submitted in the admittance forms for Konoha Girls Academy yet" inquired hinata
"No not yet, I haven't even filled the form yet" tenten admitted.
"No I am gonna submit it later, it's not that big a deal anyway" ino added
"Ino chan, you and tenten chan are both being lazy about it, I already submitted it. What about you sakura chan?" asked hinata.
"The form, yeah I filled it, but I really don't want to go to the Girls Academy" sakura replied.
"Don't want to go. What is that supposed to mean forehead, you are getting a scholarship with the grades you got" ino questioned.
"Hehehe, you see I want to go to the Konoha Prime Academy" sakura answered while smiling nervously.

"KONOHA PRIME ACADEMY!" yelled all three girls while staring at sakura like she had grown an extra head suddenly.
"WOAH forehead, you do know that KPA is all boys high school, right." Ino exclaimed all of a sudden.
"Y.Yes S.Sakura chan, it is all boys school, they don't admit girls there.", added hinata.
"Yeah sak, they won't take you in not unless you are a boy." Tenten also added into the conversation.

Just then the bell rang signaling the arrival of the pizza boy. Sakura answered the door, took the pizza and gave the money to the delivery boy.

Each of the girls grabbed a slice of pizza and started munching away. When suddenly ino spoke "You know, the only way you could actually enter KPA would be if you were a boy and that's completely impossible considering that you're a girl"
"But you know with your grades even you would be admitted there as long as they think that you are a guy." Ino added as an afterthought.

The girls were staring at her when suddenly ino was being glomped by sakura, sakura let her go and said "Ino, you are a genius. That is a wonderful idea"
"Thank you, I know I am a genius......... So what is a great idea again" ino asked.
"Ino, the great idea is that I am gonna attend Konoha Prime Academy as a Boy" Exclaimed sakura jumping in joy.

Hinata, Ino and Tenten just looked at their crazy friend as she kept on sprouting theories to make this plan a success while the pizza remain forgotten.
