Only a Year (Sasusaku)

Chapter 2, Shush Demons

Same day
-Sakura's POV-

I woke up to the sound of my mother calling my name from the kitchen. I picked up my phone seeing it was already six in the afternoon. Damn.. I slept for a few hours. I sighed only wishing I could stay under my warm covers for a little bit longer but pushed myself to get out of bed. I then stood up almost falling over at the fact that I got up too fast feeling the blood rush to my head.

Not the best decision.

Naps may sound great at the time but when you wake back up.. they suck because who knows what century you're in from it. Plus you feel pretty much dead inside after taking one.

I open my bedroom door and walk out into the kitchen groggily. "Time for dinner," My mom announced. "Thanks mom," I smiled and sat down at the table with the rest of the family; which was only my mom, my dad, and me. "So how has school been going for you, sweetheart?" My father asked as he took a bite of the delicious spaghetti my mom cooked for us. "Its been fine. School is school you know." I sighed and took a bite of the meal myself. My dad laughed, "You'll learn to like school one day."

"I sincerely doubt it, but we'll see." I said grouchily just wanting to get the subject of school over with. It's not like I have a huge grudge against learning or something, in fact I don't really mind it at all but I just get bullied every once in awhile when I happen to be by myself somewhere at school. I've learned my lesson and started hanging around friend's more but sometimes they're all busy so I'm forced to be alone in those times.

"You want me to put your plate up for you, sweetie?" My mother asked already holding hers and dad's plates. "Wait.. I'm already done? I don't even remember eating. Whatever." I gave a small smile and nodded.

"I'll be in my room" I announced as I got up from the table and walked towards my room. The cold tile floor chilled my feet as I made my way into my room and shut the door behind me. I walked over to my bed and sat down as I grabbed my phone noticing there were a few notifications. Two were from Instagram telling me that Naruto had liked and commented on my recent photo, and the last was a text message from Ino.

I clicked off my phone and sat it back down plugging it in. "Might as well get ready for bed," I thought as a small sigh escaped my lips. I usually hate it when It comes time to go to bed; most people say I'm crazy but I have my reasons. Night time is the time when my brain thinks the dark, insane things. When what you would call, 'your inner demons.'
