Today is slowly creeping by, but for once in the last two months, I don't care. So what if Kiba is sitting across the aisle in algebra. And so what if we are not talking. I guess the reason I don't care so much right now is because it's the last day of school, and he will be gone for the next three months.
At the thought of him being gone that long my heart tightens. Okay, so maybe I do still care. That doesn't mean I'm going to let it get to me, and ruin a summer that looks to be a good one, thanks to Kankuro.
I recite the mantra that I have adopted the last week. My name is Sakura Haruno and I am NOT a slut. Something that I have learned the last week while I should have been studying for finals? Making out in very public places is actually a lot of fun. Actually Kankuro is a lot of fun. He doesn't care what people think and I like that about him.
Even tonight we have plans. He's taking me to my first ever high school party, and we have every intention of getting wasted. I have never drank before but Kankuro says that I will like it. You feel like the world is spinning, which I guess could be fun. I have decided that I will try everything at least once with Kankuro.
Truth is I have been pretty miserable this year and I just want to feel good again. Maybe hanging out with Kankuro will make me feel that maybe not. But right now I feel good about life, and that's more than I could ask for right now.
I stare down at my test and continue on with my questions. Again I thank God that I pay enough attention in class to not have to study for tests. If I didn't, I would be totally screwed right now. The idea of failing only brings one person to mind though, Naruto, and I wonder if anyone took the time to help him study...

My bag is packed and I'm on the final two days I have left before I take off to the soccer program. I have no idea what to expect when I get there. All I know is that the last year has faded to the point where the only thing I have been able to think about the last few days has been passing my final exams and getting to the soccer program.
Even now while Sakura works quietly across the aisle my thoughts only briefly roll to her. She seems like she's doing okay and I have noticed that she is spending more time with that Kankuro guy. Am I jealous of him? Maybe a little, but not enough to talk to her. I think right now everyone needs some space.
I think by next year Hinata may be able to forgive Sakura. But the only reason I think that may happen is because of Namikaze. I sigh and look down at my test.
My nerves about leaving for the soccer program are eating me alive. I am so thankful that the excitement that I should have felt when I first read the invitation is pulsating through me. This is so huge for me. If everything goes good I may be invited back next summer and if I continue that I may actually have a shot at being able to go pro.
My mother thinks that my obsession with soccer is ridiculous and that I should be trying to go to college for a real career. She doesn't get it and that's okay, I can take the heat she dishes. All I know right now is that this summer is going to be a new level of epic.
