Resolutions
Ch.1 Keep up or Give up?
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto
Warning this is my first real attempt at a romance
'This is it' though naruto as he mentally prepared himself for what he was going to do.
It all depended on this one answer. He had to be strong. The 13 year old boy straightened up, a determined look on his face, as he began marching toward his object of affection: Sakura Haruno.
When he was just behind her, the orange clad ninja jumped back as the bubblegum haired girl turned around and scream. She jumped back and shouted, "What the hell do you think your doing Naruto! Scaring me like that!"
"Sorry Sakura-chan, I just wanted to ask you something real quick." Answered the blue-eyed boy.
"Well make it quick, I need to get ready for the New years festival tonight." she impatiently replied.
"Heh, heh, heh, that's kinda what I wanted to ask you about." explained naruto as he nervously rubbed the back of his neck, "I was wondering if you wanted to go with me to the festival?"
The emerald eyed girl sighed and said, "Looked Naruto, I've told you a million times and I'll say it again, I don't like you like that. I only have eyes for Sasuke, so please do us all a favor and stop asking."
The blond's face was slightly downcast for only a second before he quickly rose his head and replied with a wide grin, "Okay Sakura-chan, I guess I'll see you some other time."
"Yea, see ya later Naruto," Sakura called back as she turned around and began her journey to the shopping district.
The demon container's façade quickly dropped and his wide grin was replaced with a dour expression, as he pulled out a large piece of paper titled "New Year Resolutions".
The boy quickly scanned the long list until he got to the bottom one which read: Give up on Sakura Haruno.
