Every day.
Disclaimer - I own nothing Summary- 4 part story to a 4 verse poem I made. Ino's POV of their academy days.

Chapter 1 - The Girl That Gave Him Hope.

Here he is again, just on time.

"Hey, Ino."

"Naruto, hi . . ..the usual?"

"Please."

4 years ago.
Thats when this started.
It was the day before I met Sakura - the day before I changed her life, changed her from the forehead girl . . .to a popular girl.
He met her, and she met him.
They played together, as 6 year olds often do.
But for them it was different. When I met her she told me she had only got 1 friend. whiskers, the joker, Naruto.
I told her that there were limits. It was the truth. I was the most popular girl, so I could get away with helping 1 of the misfits.
I didn't meet Naruto until after I had helped Sakura. A shame really, because I knew that if I helped another, then all I would be doing is taking their place.
So I told her why I wasn't, couldn't be Naruto's friend. The misfits. Sakura, Naruto . . .and countless others, all alone, all wanting not to be.
All too scared to make the first move.
So she ended her friendship with Naruto, just to be popular. The worst part is? I encoraged her.
She fell for Sasuke. I did too. Then I met him. Naruto, the boy she tossed aside.
Every single day, he comes into the flower shop. From then till now he has never missed a day.
Every day he wants the same thing.
One rose, as red as the blood in his heart, the heart he gives to her every single day.
Every day she refuses, but he tries again regardless, because she is the girl that gave him hope.

Every day, for the past 4 years.
Every single day.
Thats how often he came to me.
How often he made that request.
Ever since he met the girl that gave him hope.
