The room was silent. The only thing that could be heard is the light breathing of a sleeping girl. Her face is peaceful and her eyes are moving, a sign that she is dreaming.

"Sakura!" a women yells from downstairs.

The girl in bed stirs, but remains asleep.

"Sakura! Wake up it's time for school!" the women yells once more.

The girl finally wakes up, "but it so early. I dont want to go to school," she mumbles. 

And that when a light bulb goes off in her head. "School!? Why is she calling me for school when I'm homeschooled?" she thinks.

She picks up her phone and immediately opens up AnoCalls.

@CherrieBlossoms
What the hell did you do?!

@lostsouls
You accusing me of something
pinky?

@CherrieBlossoms
Pinky?!

@CherrieBlossoms
YES.

@lostsouls
Your hair is pink.
You wear a lot of pink.
So the name pinky suits you.

@CherrieBlossoms
How do you know that?

@CherrieBlossoms
I knew it you're a stalker!!

@lostsouls
Not a stalker.

@lostsouls
Damn.
You're annoying.

@CherrieBlossoms
Then what are you?
And how did you do that?

@lostsouls
Don't worry about it.

@lostsouls
It's none of your business.

@lostsouls
Keep asking these quetions
and I'll make it count as breaking
a rule.

@CherrieBlossoms
THAT'S CHEATING!

@lostsouls
Your questions bore me.

@lostsouls
So its not cheating.

@CherrieBlossoms
Will you at least tell me
what's going on?

@lostsouls
No.

@lostsouls
Now let me sleep in peace.

@lostsouls
And don't you have to
go to school?

@lostsouls
Oh and pinky,
remember the second rule.

The girl sighs and turns off her phone.

"Sakura! Are you awake yet?" her mother screams.

"Yes! Just give me a few minutes!"

She grabs random clothing items from her closet and quickly changes into them after fixing her bed and using the bathroom.

"Sakura! Hurry up Karin is waiting for you outside!"

"Coming!" Sakura yells.

She grabs an apple from the counter and slips on her shoes.

"Bye! I'll see you later!" she calls to her mom.

"Have a good day!"

"Hurry up, slowpoke," Karin says from inside her car.

Sakura quickly gets into the passenger seat of the car.

"Did you over sleep again?" Karin asks.

"Um...yeah?"

Karin shrugs. "If we're late, I blame you."

Sakura nods and stares out the window lost in thought. I never thought that one day I'll go to school with Karin. I wonder if she knows about the lying game. We've been best friends since practically birth, so she must know that this is my first year in an actual school...right?

Sakura sighs and continues to stare outside.
