A/N: Thanks so much for so many favorites and adding my story to your reading list. You guys have no idea how happy it makes me. Bye for now. 

After all my classes were done, I exited the school. I felt like someone was following me, but I just shook it off. I was walking towards the rear of the school when more than a dozen students stood in my path. And surprise, surprise, Karin, was standing in front of the group like the wicked witch leading her evil army of monkeys. I mentally snickered at the image of her with warts and a green face. 

"Sakura." I spun around, only to see the blond bimbo, also known as Ino, with more male students and some of my ex-friends. I take one step back, as Ino walked closer to me. 

"Great! I just knew something bad would happen!" Inner exclaims.  

"Then why didn't you tell me!" I scream at her. You would think having a voice in your head would just be annoying and a sign of insanity. Well, of course sometimes it's annoying, but she can be helpful. And about the insanity part, well, I can't exactly promise anyone that I'm not crazy.

"Sakura," Ino says. I can tell she's angry because I haven't been listening to her.  

"I see you're not with your guards," Karin muses. I turn around to glare at her. God, for once I actually want to go home. I frown when I hear the scuffling of feet behind me. They're moving closer. 

"They're not my guards," I respond, getting more annoyed and nervous every second. 

"What do you want Karin, Ino?" I spat their names out like old, moldy, disgusting food. Karin grimaces, and I can almost feel the anger radiating of  Ino.

"Tch, you better think of your position here, Sakura." She then walked closer to me and stared straight into my eyes. Her crimson red eyes gave me the shivers. She looks at me like I'm not even a person. How can a person be so cruel? No one moved for a second and I start to panic. There's no one to save me now. No strong knight in shining armor. Nobody. Karin smirks and grabs a handful of my long pink hair. 

"Well, it's better that your bodyguards aren't here, hm?" She almost growls out, pulling my hair. Hard. 

"AHHH!" I protest as I try to protect and release my hair from her grasp.

"Goddammit, Karin what do you want?!" I growl. She throws me onto the ground and laughs. It's such an ugly laugh, almost like a cackle, causing me to cringe.

"Payback. For even daring to speak to Sasuke-kun," she snarls out, her obsession with Sasuke showing. One of the men then brought a bucket containing water. Almost everyone grinned maliciously while the others kept a smirk plastered on their faces. I freeze, knowing what the bucket's for. That's my weakness. Water, it scares me. My biggest fear has always been drowning. I clench my jaw, forcing my fear down, and stand up hastily. I try to make a run for it, but one of them, Mikasa, grabbed my wrist and pulled me back to where I was, on the ground.

"No, no, no, no, no, you can't run away," Mikasa warned and sits in front of me, leveling her face to mine.

"You have to learn your lesson first." She smiles. 

"You see, you can't speak to Kiba-kun so casually." She glares at me and grabs my face roughly, causing me to wince in pain.

"You have to learn your place, bitch." My vision flickers and suddenly I'm no longer outside my high school, but in the basement of my house. I see my father and a 13-year-old version of myself. My father continues hitting my defenseless younger self, causing her to let out loud wails of pain. I run to her trying to stop him, but only I'm only there long enough to hear his words. 

"You have to learn your place, bitch."

 As soon as it came, it passed. I shake my head away from her and glared back. 

"Saku, we're way outnumbered. What do we do?" Inner asked, scared now.  

 "That's right vomit eyes, you have to learn your place," Karin says, walking to me and pulling my hair a second time.

"Ino care to help?" Karin asks. I look at Ino, pleading with my eyes. She catches my glance and looks at her feet. She looks at Karin with uncertainty. 

"Karin, isn't this a little too far? We could hurt her," She says avoiding making eye contact with Karin. 

"Hell no! She talked to Sasuke-kun yesterday and strung him in her web of lies! He told me they're friends now. He looked like he had a crush on her! She has to understand! Sasuke-kun is mine! ... and yours of course."

Ino's eyes lose the look of indecision and she steps over to Karin and grabs another handful of my hair. I have to try to get free! It's my only chance! Just looking at the bucket of water is making me almost go into a panic attack. 

"Let go of me!" I scream trying to tear my hair away. If only I had scissors. 

"Damn Karin, Ino, you're being unreasonable, the hell is wrong with you?! LET ME GO!" I continue to fight. I could fight back. I could be free. I could fight back to Karin and Ino. If only it was just them two. If only I had a chance. There would still be a chance of losing, but the odds would be better. But two men took my wrists roughly to limit my movements and help Karin. I'm outnumbered and most of them are male, I can't do anything. I throw a venomous glare over my shoulder at Karin. 

"Damn you, Karin." Then my head was pushed into the water.
