~July 23rd

It was at my 12th birthday. There were many presents that I get from the girls in the class. But, how many it is, it was nothing for me. There is someone that I always care about. In my heart, I know that I'll never get a birthday present from him. But, my mind didn't stop to wonder.

"Sasuke-kun," the girl with the pink colored hair called me.

"Yes?"

"Ano…Ha-happy birthday," she said then gave me a present.

"It is a cookie. I make it by myself," she said, shyly.

"I don't like sweets, but thank you."

As expected, this year I didn't get any present from him. From outside, I acted like I didn't care, but inside; I was a little bit disappointed.

Now is my 13th birthday. There's something different in this year.

"Oi, Sasuke!" a blonde boy calls me from the far.

"You're late, dobe!"

"I'm sorry, hehehehe…" he laughs like a fool.

"You- usuratonkachi!"

Yes, this year is different. I shouldn't wonder about the birthday present. Because, now he and me are get together. It was 3 month since that.

"Naruto, do you remember what day is today?"

"Hah??? Wednesday, isn't it?" he answer stupidly.

"Do you not remember?"

"What? I already tell you that today is Wednesday!" he insists.

Once more, I disappoint. How could this stupid-moron can forget about my birthday?

"Sasuke-kun, Naruto!" the pink haired girl calling.

"Sakura-chaan!!!" he shouts loudly.

"Good morning, Sasuke-kun," she greets me.

"Morning."

"Ano…happy birthday!" she said then gives me a little box. "I-I know you don't like sweets, so I give you—" the girl words cut.

"TO-TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY?!!" the blonde boy shouts.

"Of course, dobe."

Hohohohoho…Sasuke, happy birthday," here comes the gray haired man.

"Thanks, Kakashi."

"Here! I give you a present," he gives me a book.

ICHA-ICHA PARADISE

"I don't need this kind of book, shitty jounin!"

Hohoho…don't be so angry!" he runs away.

"Kakashi-sensei, what do you mean with give that book to Sasuke-kun!" the pink haired girl chase him.

"Err…Sasuke…" the blonde boy take the chance to talk with me.

"What?"

"I'm sorry I forgot your birthday, and I don't have any present to give," he apologizes.

"It's okay."

"That's not okay! You always give a present when I birthday, so I must give you something too!" he insist.

"Well then, so what will you give me? You don't bring anything, do you?"

He's thinking hard.

"Ah! I have!" he shouts.

"Hmm? What?"

"Hehehehe…" he laughs stupidly.

I confuse.

"Well, happy birthday, Sasuke!" then he immediately hug me and kiss me in cheek.

I surprised, but soon smiling.

"Thank you."
