I have been staring at my laptop for at least ten minutes. I'm waiting for No Name to come back online. I want to apologize to him, for my behavior about his identity. It almost sounds like he's hiding from something, as am I. To be honest, I don't want people to know who I am. I'm too insecure.

Finally, it says No Name is online. I don't hesitate to message him.

Me: Hi. I wanted to say sorry for asking you about your identity. Obviously, you don't want anyone to know who you are, and I will respect your privacy.

At least three minutes past, and I start to get extremely worried.

No Name: Alright. Thanks ;)

Me: Your welcome :)

No Name: ;) What grade are you in?

Me: Are you going to tell me what grade you're in?

No Name: I suppose, but I won't get too personal ;)

Me: I'm a senior.

No Name: What a small world. So am I.

Me: Ah the irony xD

No Name: Haha :D

Me: I have something to tell you......

No Name: Okay.....

Me: I think...... People know about you.

No Name: What do you mean?

Me: My friend said people are curious about who you are.

No Name: Wow, don't I feel popular xD

Me: You're lucky.....

No Name: You don't know anything about me. You actually have no idea how unlucky I really am.

Me: Oh.

No Name: It's getting late. I'm gonna go. Bye...... Blossom ;)

Me: Bye...... Name?

No Name: ;)

After that, I smile at the laptop screen. This guy has no friends on here. Until now....

I get a box that says, 'No Name wants to be your friend!' My heart beats rapidly, and I happily accept. I also get a sudden message.

No Name: You should feel special.

I open my eyes wide, and he logs off after he sent the message. Why should I feel special? Because he wants to be my friend? Who is this guy?

I get another message, and I start to get jittery. Until.......

Kiba: Holy shit Sakura!

Me: Hello to you too?

Kiba: No Name friended you?!

Me: That's what it looks like ;)

Kiba: Do you know what this means?!

Me: That I finally have another friend, other than you?

Kiba: No! Well..... Yeah, but that's not the point! When people find out YOU are friends with No Name, you'll become popular. Hell, you'll become famous! Sakura, this guy is the big fuss in school now. People are messaging him, and dying to know who he is. Most of them think he's some kind of ghost. When they find out Sakura Haruno is friends with a ghost, they'll want to talk to you!

Me: They won't talk to me, because you're not going to tell them.

Kiba: Sakura, this is your chance to finally get noticed. Which means..... I'll get noticed!

Me: If you were my friend, you wouldn't tell ANYONE about me or No Name.

Kiba: If that's what you want..........

Me: Thanks Kiba! I'm gonna go.

Once I logged out, I fell into a deep, deep sleep.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Sakura, dear, time for school!"

I lazily got up from bed, and put on a random outfit. Apparently I just put on a plain red shirt and white shorts. I am just so stylish today.

I went down stairs, and saw my mom placing a plate full of pancakes, strawberries, and whip cream. My mouth immedietly filled with saliva, and I sprinted towards the aroma filled breakfast. My butt slammed down on the chair, and my mom smiled at me.

"You should wait until the bacon's ready." She commented.

I looked up, dazed at her words, and she chuckled at my expression.

"B-bacon?" I asked, like I never heard the word 'bacon' in my life.

"Yes dear, bacon." Mom answered walking towards the pan full of bacon.

Once the bacon was on my plate, I looked at her back in a sad expression.

"Mom?"

"Hm?" She asks cleaning the pan empty, yet dirty pan.

"I'm sorry."

She stops washing the pan, and turns slowly towards me.

"I'm sorry for not being thankful for you." I say, "Even the day when Dad died, you were still right by my side. Most widowed mothers would want to grieve by themselves, but you wanted to grieve with me. Not to mention, you always try to do everything to make me happy. I have always been such a brat to you, and I'm sorry for my childish behavior..." I stop looking down at the sizzling bacon on my plate.

Mom stares at me for a second, and walks towards me. She puts my head in her arms, and hugs me like her life depended on it.

"I love you so much, Sakura." She says.

"I love you too, Mom." I answer hugging her.

She pulls away after a few minutes, and chuckles.

"It took a delicious breakfast for you to realize this?"

"You could say that." I answer smiling.

 "We're meeting up with Deidara today at your Dad's company." Mom says walking into the kitchen.

"What? Why?" I ask.

"You're a senior, and you have plans to be in web design. I called him last night to talk to you about the company. You always said you wanted to work there." She explains.

"Yeah, but I don't want to work for him......" I say, "He was always Dad's rival in the business world."

"Yeah, I remember their late night arguments on the phone."

"So do I. Has it not occured to you that Deidara has always wanted Dad's job?" I ask.

"Ever since your Dad died, I've always thought about it." Mom answers sighing.

"I wonder about him...... He's made a lot of money, ever since he took Dad's place."

"You don't think....." Mom trailed off.

"I don't know...." I respond.

"When you meet up with him today, I won't be there. I want you to look out for yourself. Deidara is only two years older than you. Got it?" She asks.

"Of course. I have to go to school Mom. Love you." I say walking out the door.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Wait, Deidara?" Kiba asks.

Kiba knows everything about my family's company.

"Yeah." I answer shutting my locker.

"I suspect that guy. Everytime you and I run into him, he always stares at you." Kiba says.

"Really? I never noticed...."

"You will today. Listen, call me if he does something. I'll be over there in a heart beat and kicking his ass by the time you can hang up the phone." He explains glaring at the lockers.

I chuckle, "Thanks, but I can handle myself."

"I'm just looking out for ya." Kiba answers smiling at me.

I smile at him, and the bell rings.

"See ya at lunch." I say, messing his hair up and walking away.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Do you have any idea who this No Name guy is?" Kiba asks taking a bite out of his burger.

"Not a clue. I will tell you this though, he has a way with winky faces." I answer.

"Winky faces? What does that have to do with anything?"

"I'm just saying."

"Ghosts don't use winky faces." Kiba states.

"He's not a ghost, Kiba. He's a real person with real feelings."

"Then why is his name No Name?"

"Not sure, but it seems like he's running away from something." I say.

"Like?" Kiba asks raising an eyebrow.

"Like..... People." I say looking at him.

"People?"

"Yeah.... People."

Our conversation is interrupted when girls squeal, and run towards the door. I look towards doors, and see Sasuke Uchiha and his 'crew' walking in. What's so great about him. Other than his looks, he has nothing to show for. What's the point of drooling over him, if he shows no emotion towards his followers, other than his friends?

I watch as they walk by my table, and one of them winks at me. Of course, it has to be the blonde goofy one.

"Sakura!" Kiba yells slamming down his fists.

I look at him, shocked.

"Did you see that?" He asks.

"See what?"

"Naruto Uzumaki just winked at you!" He says.

"So?"

"That wink was a, 'hey, your pretty cute,' wink!" Kiba exclaimed.

"No, that was an arrogant wink."

Kiba rolls his eyes, and continues eating.

At Sasuke's table

"Same thing every day." Shikamaru says sitting down.

"Oh please, if Sasuke wasn't here, we wouldn't be crowded like this." Neji says.

"I like it!" Naruto comments, "I even gave that cute girl a wink."

Sasuke, Neji, Shikamaru, and Naruto look at the girl Naruto was talking about, and scoff.

"Pink hair, how original." Shikamaru says lazily.

"I think it suits her." Neji says.

"How about you Sasuke?" Naruto asks.

"What?" Sasuke asks.

"Should I go over there?"

Sasuke takes a peek towards the emerald eyed girl, and smirks.

"Go for it."
