didn’t feel like Aoi, who just didn’t seem to understand that I didn’t want to be mothered by him.Deep in my thoughts, ten minutes later I almost walked past the house where my friend Temari lived.
I went to the door through the small wooden gate and rang the bell once.
A small boy with red hair, about 12 years old, opened the front door and stared up at me with cold eyes.
"Ohaiyo Gaara-kun! "I greeted him warmly. My little sister's best friend just made an unintelligible noise and let me enter.
,, Temari-chan! Sakura-chan is here! ", he called through the whole house and left me standing alone in the hallway. I really didn't understand how Yuki got along with him. I had never really heard him speak more than a few sentences at a time in my presence, but when I asked Passed my sister's room, I heard him chatter and laugh like a waterfall.
,, Sakura! How are you? ", beaming with joy my friend Temari came towards me, her hair tied in four braids, each sticking out in one direction.,, Hey! Oh, very well. ", I mumbled." How was it in Hokaido? "
Temari and her family had been on vacation for a week in northern Japan.
She made a face.
"Hn, boring, we just visited relatives the whole time and there weren't any cute boys either."
Laughing, I took her in my arms and gave her a light squeeze.

It didn't take us long to get to school from her home.
On the way we met other classmates, including our friend Shikamaru, who was walking his dog Akamaru.
Shortly before the large school building, which was framed by a large wall, we parted ways. Kiba brought his dog home briefly while we were already entering the school grounds, where we would now be starting our second year of high school.






Note: The school year in Japan starts on April 1st, so it's spring right now ^^
