My name is Sakura Haruno. I'm 15. And the most important person in my life is Sasuke Uchiha. I love him very much. It all starts one fine winter, 8 years ago..


I was crying, on the wet, and cold ground which is covered with snow, at the park. I cried because some sick group of girls, or should I say bullies, teased me because of my forehead. I have a big deal of a forehead but they should mind their own business. One of them are Ino Yamanaka, whom use to be my best and only friend. They teased my forehead 'billboard brow'. It makes me feel so angry that my tears started bursting out. I should have listen to my mother when she said it will be better if I stayed at home because its snowing and helped her with some kitchen work, such as washing the dishes. For a 7 year old, I'm very diligent.

I stop crying when I felt something something soft touch my forehead. I still can't see anything because my eyes are still filled with endless tears. Through my ears, I can hear only the wind blowing smoothly from my left, which made my shoulder length hair flew all over my face and neck. The warmth of that something is still on my forehead. I lift my arm to feel that something, it was a hand. The warmth I felt on my forehead is someones hand.

I blinked 3 times to clear my eyes from the tears I cried earlier. I saw a raven haired boy with deep, dark onyx eyes in front of me. I felt my face becoming more red-er every second. I think the boy noticed this and lift his hands of my forehead. Then I realized, that the group of girls who teased my forehead before was no where to be seen. I wonder what happened to them..

"Its not that big." he said, getting up, handing me his right hand. I ignored it and got up with my own strenght. Remembering what my mother always said,

"Don't talk to strangers". But this boy looks preety harmless. Besides, he's very nice, I think.

"What's not?" I ask him, knowing that he is going to say what I think he's going to say.

"Your forehead." he said, smirking at me. I knew he was going to say my forehead! Oh well, at least he's not saying its huge...

"Oh, thanks." I said, blushing.

"Your welcome, what's your name?"

"Sakura, Sakura Haruno." My blush turned rose pink.

"I'm Sasuke, Sasuke Uchiha." He didn't look at me, he's looking at the ground.

I then realized that some familliar voice is calling my name, my mother. Where did she come from? "Coming mom!!" I didn't even turn to look at her. I'm too busy looking at the stranger that help me, earlier. Sasuke Uchiha huh? He looks rather familiar, maybe we go to the same school or something.

"Sorry, Sasuke. I've got to go now. My mom is calling me."

"Its okay, we will meet again soon, right?"

"Um, uh, yeah, someday".

"Then I will be looking forward to that someday."

That was the last sentence I heard from him that day, he ran away from me. To go home I guess, afterall, its getting dark. That reminds me, oops! my mom!! So, I quickly ran to my mom who's now, walking towards me.

"Sakura, who's that boy?" my mother ask me..

"No one important." I said, blushing and looking at the direction that Sasuke ran to.. and all this because of my forehead. Its creepy but true, we met only, because of this forehead of mine.

That day was the first and last time I saw him. Until, the wheel spins, and we meet again. Which is about a few months after that day. It was embarrassing!!

25th May, in the morning. The sun was shining brightly after raining 24 hours yesterday. I was at the market by force. My mother made me go to the market to shop for milk, vegetables, fruits, rice, fish, chicken, spices, and much much more that I have to write it down on 3 pieces of paper. I've already bought half of it, which leaves me another half. My mom made me go here every Tuesday and Thursday, so I wont get lost in this super huge market. I know every inch of it, including all the people who sell stuff here.

Oh, this basket is really heavy.. I thought as I walk to another stall. I was just a few meters to the stall, but I accidentally bump into someone. Oh not again!! this things have been happening to me lately. First I bump into someone, then I said sorry, then that someone yells at me telling me that I should look where I'm going, then that person left. Very, very rude.

I fell on my back, all the groceries I carried in my basket are now everywhere on the dirty ground. Including the chicken I bought earlier. Its just a few centimeters from my right. Its skin was now covered with dirt and grass. Eeeeww, a brown chicken. Is there anything more gross?

I got up on my feet, unaware that my dress are full of dirt and mud. I didn't pick anything up since its all full of dirt. The fruits, the vegetables, the rice, including the brown chicken. I stare at the ground. What am I going to tell my mother? That a stupid maniac bump into me and I drop all the groceries to the ground and now its all covered with dirt? That's the truth, but what kind of mother wouldn't be mad? She gave me quite a lot of money for that stuff and I'm just going to say I accidentally dropped it?

That reminds me, the stupid maniac. He already got up too. How dare he just kept staring at me?! After he bumped me and made me drop all of my groceries! I feel like slapping him. That maniac looked up and meet my now, I think angry gaze. I looked at him, in disbelief, crossing my arms. I didn't get a good look at him because the Sun is shining right on my face, which made my view a little unclear. He walk closer to me and by my surprise, he was...

"Sasuke.." I said, or more like ask, by the sound of it.

"Sakura?" he said. I nodded. I was speechless. I didn't think I'll ever meet him again or at least, not here.

"What are you doing here?" he ask me.

"Well, uh, um.."

"This is like 2 years all over again.." he said, annoyed.

"My mom made me go shopping". I nearly whispered. I then finally remembered to panic because I don't have enough money to replace the things I dropped. He looked at all my groceries on the muddy ground.

"Oh, I'm sorry Sakura. Here." he hand me some money. I just stare at it. I wonder if I should take it. It would solve all the problems but its his money. And this is also my fault for not looking where I'm going. I don't want him to pay for all of it..

"Just take it, Sakura". he said, still handing me about I don't know how much yen. I shook my head, and it annoyed him. He rolled his eyes and said:

"Sakura.." my name.. its sounded so perfect spoken by his voice. I grinned and nodded. I took it, and I can't believe I did.

"Let's just keep this between you and me, no need to tell your mother, okay?" he said while smirking.

"Okay. Thank you.."

He walk beside me while I walk to the stalls to re-buy my groceries. Its feels awkward, him, walking by my side. "So," I said, breaking the silence between us. "Hm?" he ask, without looking at me. "Why are you here?"

"Oh, I'm just here to buy some stuff."

"What kind of stuff?"

"Stuff, stuff." he said, I realized he's annoyed, again. But I still want to know.

"Tell me,"

"Hn".

"Sasuke.."

"...."

"Sasuke?"

"Tomatoes."

"Huh?"

"I came here, to buy tomatoes." he said, I think he's blushing. Tomatoes? Why would he buy tomatoes?

"What would you buy tomatoes?" I said what I was thinking.

"To eat them".

"Huh? You mean you like them?"

"Yeah."

"More than fruits?"

"Maybe".

"Apples?"

"Tomatoes."

"Grape?"

"Tomatoes."

"Strawberries?"

"Definitely tomatoes." Then, I couldn't help but to laugh. How could he like tomatoes more than apples, grape and strawberries? Weird.. but cute.

"What are you laughing at?" he ask. I can see he's mad but I just can't stop laughing.

"N-nothing.." I said, laughing even harder.

The rest of the day went quite fast. Spending it with Sasuke is really worth it. After done shopping, he walk me home. We were very close (as friends). When I got in the house, my mother didn't even noticed a thing. Oh, what a day.. I was looking forward to see him again.. soon..
