So many things can happen at a certain time.
I do not own Naruto.

February 14, 4:00 PM.
We were six, and we belonged to different classes. I was there, getting bullied by my girl classmates. I was crying hard, you know? Well, I guess you remember that. They were bullying me because of my huge forehead, my weird pink hair and my secret crush on you. [Don't you dare smirk].

"Ha-ha! You really think Sasuke-kun would fall for a weird, ugly girl like you?" A brunette yelled as she slapped a little pink-haired girl on the cheek.
"I… I am not weird! I am not ugly, too!" The pinkette sobbed. She sounded like she was trying to convince herself.
"Wait, what's that?" A blonde girl asked, getting the small, pink envelope being held by the pinkette. The tore it open and began to read the content.
"It's a love letter," Said the blonde, "for Sasuke-kun."
The girls around her laughed. The blond tore the letter while the brunette tore the envelope. They were the meanest girls in the class.
"Stupid! A love letter? You really are hopeless." The brunette kicked the cherry girl on the stomach. She cried in pain as she fell down, sobbing. The girls continued to laugh while yelling insults aimed for the cherry girl.

I felt so pathetic, then. I thought I was going to die.
And that was when you passed by.

"Hey, what's going on here?"
The girls stopped laughing and turned their heads when they heard the voice. They forgot about the pink-haired girl, who was still crying on the floor.
"Sasuke-kun! We were beating up this ugly girl for you!" The blonde told Sasuke.
"She doesn't deserve you." The brunette added. The raven-haired boy, known as the famous Sasuke Uchiha, ignored the girls and went to the pink-haired one.
"Are you okay?" He asked sweetly. She continued to cry.
"Sasuke-kun!" The girls yelled. He glared at the girls who bullied the little pinkette.
"You should all be ashamed of yourself! You bullied her! You are all so heartless and cruel." He said in a calm, angry voice. The girls protested, but he spoke once more, "Leave us alone. Don't you dare hurt this girl, or I will fight you!"
The girls all left with frowns on their faces. Sasuke helped the pinkette sit up.
"Hey, are you okay?" Sasuke asked.
"I… I'm not… Ugly…" The pinkette sobbed. She buried her head in her hands. "I am not weird!" She sobbed.
"No, you're not." Sasuke said. "Don't mind what those stupid girls said!"
The pinkette looked at him and blushed. "S-s-sasuke-san?" She said, wide-eyed.
"Hey, hey, don't need to get so formal with me!" Sasuke grinned. The pinkette smiled. "Now, use my hanky and wipe your face."
The girl did so. Her face was cleaner, but her eyes were still puffy from crying.
"See? You look better!" Sasuke said, poking her cheek. The girl blushed and giggled, a sound that made little Sasuke smile.
"I like your laugh." He smiled. "Say, what's your name?"
"S-sakura… Haruno…" The pink-haired girl named Sakura replied softly.
"Sakura?" Sasuke asked as he stroke her hair. "It means 'Cherry Blossom,' right?"
Sakura nodded.
"Cherry blossoms are nice… I like cherry blossoms!" Sasuke smiled. Sakura's eyes brightened. "My family has a whole field of cherry blossoms!"
"R-really?" Sakura asked, curious. Sasuke stood up and helped her up. Sasuke dusted off the dirt on his pants. Sakura picked up the torn pieces of her letter for Sasuke.
"Hey, what's that?" Sasuke asked, standing beside her.
"M-my valentine's day letter… to you…" Sakura blushed. She thrust her hands out and gave the pieces of paper to Sasuke. "H-happy valentine's day, Sasuke-san."
"Th-thank you, Sakura." He smiled. "Thank you so much."
He put the pieces together on the floor and read it. Sakura was behind him, blushing. Sasuke stood up, keeping the pieces of paper in his pockets.
"Let's be friends then," He was holding out a hand to Sakura, "okay, Sakura-chan?"
Sakura smiled brightly and took his hand. "O-okay… Sasuke-kun."
"Then it's settled!" Sasuke had a cute, goofy grin on his face. "You and I are friends from now on, and I'll protect you from those mean bullies no matter what!"
Sakura smiled. She still had a crush on Sasuke, but now, she was seeing him as a brother.

We'd been best friends since then. I can't forget that goofy smile on your face—you look so much like Naruto, you know? And now Naruto's rambling on about how his smile wasn't goofy. [Shut up, Naruto. I can list so many reasons on why your smile is so goofy].
Anyways, I like your goofy smile. You show it so rare, and I am very lucky to be one of the witnesses of that.
