A Friend
It was just another normal day in Naruto's life. He went to the academy, pulled some random prank and made himself some ramen for a snack. He still had a lot of time before he would go to sleep, so he decided that he would go and walk around a bit, maybe pull some small prank.
He got up and left his small apartment and headed towards his favourite park, the park no one ever seemed to use. He liked this park, because he never felt so left out if there was no one to leave him out.
He entered the park, but he was not alone this time, there was a girl around his age sitting on the rusty swings.
"Hey! What are you doing in my park?" He didn't know when he had started thinking of the park as his own, it's not like anyone uses it anyway.
The girl turned to look at him and smiled, "I didn't know you owned this park, I thought anyone could use it." Was she making fun of him? Was she going to be need a prank too?
"No, you cannot use this park and are you making fun of me?" It was clear the girl was asking for a prank. Too bad he couldn't dye her hair pink, because it was already that colour.
"No, not at all. I was just asking and I think it wouldn't be so terrible to share." Why was she still here, most of them would have left already.
Naruto walked up to the swing next to hers and sat down, "It would be horrible if we shared, I don't like sharing." Naruto scrunched up his nose, "especially not with girls."
The girl started laughing at that, she was laughing at him!
Naruto jumped of the swing, "hey! What are you laughing at?" The girl still didn't stop laughing! "Hey! I'm talking to you!" What was with this girl, no one even wanted to get close to him, yet she was laughing at him!
"Ah – I'm sorry, I'm sorry, you just said something funny." How did he say something funny? He didn't say anything that he thought was funny, this girl was really weird. She stood up and started walking towards that exit of the park, "it was nice meeting you."
"Hey! At least tell me your name!" Why was I asking? I wanted nothing to do with her!
"Haruno Sakura," the name suited her, but there was no way he was saying that out loud, "what about you?"
Naruto grinned, "I'm Uzumaki Naruto! future Hokage, believe it!"
Sakura smiled, "I believe it."
