Chapter: 1
"Don't worry, I'll guard you when you become hokage, Sarada."
Those words I still hang on to this day. Boruto and I have been close friends since we were young but now I can't help but have feelings for him the way he is so determined, how he works hard and the way he protects his loved ones just melts my heart… wait what am I saying? He's annoying, stupid, troublesome, and he is always pulling pranks… so why do I like him? Whatever I should get ready to go to the mall with ChouChou.
At the mall.
"Hey Sarada, what's up?" said Boruto
"Oh, nothing much, I didn't expect to see you here." I said nervously. I don't know why I get so nervous around him, when we were 12 I barley wanted to talk to him but, I guess things just changed over time.
"Oh I'm just about to buy the new gaming console, you?"
"We're going to buy some shoes, thank you very much." Said Chou. She could sense the nervousness in my voice.
"Okay well, see you later."
On our way to the shoe store we saw Kiyoto, she has long orange hair and wears clothing that shows more of her body and she's every guys dream girl but, rumor has it that she likes Boruto, not only that, she always has to 1-up me in everything I do.
"Hey Sarada, ChouChou where are you two going?"
"We're going to buy shoes, wanna come?" Chou asked
"Sure" Kiyoto said with a smile.
I can't believe that Kiyoto is coming, she's the last person I'd want to hang with…
In the shoe store
"Have any of you seen Boruto?"
when someone mentions his name my heart skips a beat.
"Yeah he said he's going to buy a new gaming console why?...Do you like him? Because rumor has it that you like him." Chou said with a smirk.
"Kinda but I want to get to know him first, you know?"
There was a long silence because Chou knows I like Boruto but the feeling of having someone you like be liked by another is unbearable. I looked for the shoes I wanted very quickly so I didn't have to hang with Kiyoto anymore. Kiyoto can 1-up me all she wants, but she'll never take the one I love without a fight.
At the Uchiha Household
"Sarada, is that you?" Sakura asked while preparing for dinner.
"Yeah, I just came back from the mall kaa-chan."
I went up to my room, only to find an envelope with my name on it from… tou-chan that says :
"Dear Sarada, I will be coming back home in a month or two please tell kaa-chan and let her know. From tou-chan."
I went downstairs and told kaa-chan the good news and as always she was trying to hide her excitement. I went back up stairs and received a call from ChouChou.
"Hey gurl wassup? I need to tell you something urgent! " I could hear a bag of chips in the background while she was talking.
"Nothing much, what's wrong?"
"Don't panic but… Kiyoto is going to watch Boruto train tomorrow and I kinda gave her the idea!"
I hung up the phone and screamed into my pillow. Why would Kiyoto want to watch him train? I knew in that moment I would have to work hard, so Kiyoto could see what she's up against.
The next day, on my way the training grounds.
"Sarada, Wait up!" It was Boruto.
"Hey Boruto, what's up?"
"Well, I wanted to know, when your dad is coming back to train me?" He said
"In a month or two."
"Oh ok… Well Mitsuki and I are going to go to Ichiraku'safter training, wanna come?" He asked
"Oh sure," I said with a smile
At the training grounds
"Hey Boruto, over here!" Kiyoto shouted from a small bench near the field,
Boruto went to where she sat and said "Hey Kiyoto, what are you doing here?"
"Oh I wanted to watch you train because everyone is telling me that your really skilled and I want to challenge you one day" she responded all shy like but me and her both know she wasn't shy at all.
"Oh well just watch, and be amazed!" He jumped up and shouted.
We waited for Mitsuki to come but he texted saying that he couldn't make it, so we started without him.
We were on the urge to start when Kiyoto popped off the bench she was sitting on and ran towards us.
"Hey Boruto, If Mitsuki can't make it can I fill in for him? I would love to train with you." She asked wanting him to say yes.
"Sure, just know its one on one match, so you and Sarada first, then you and I, then last but not least Sarada and I. When the timer stops training is over, got it?"
"Yep!" she replied excitedly.
As the timer started, Kiyoto was trying to get a hit on me with all her might, but I was blocking her attacks with ease.
After a while, training was over. Boruto and I were about to leave the training grounds to go to Ichiraku's, when a small figure was running up to us. Turns out it was Kiyoto. When she finally caught up to us she asked "Where are you to going?"
"Where going to Ichiraku's, wanna come? It was supposed to be Sarada, Mitsuki, and I but Mitsuki couldn't make it." He told her.
"Sure." She responded "I'd love to hang with you!"
Great… now I have to share my moments alone with Boruto, with Kiyoto.
