Today is a day of destiny. I've already decided it, because I, Naruto Uzumaki am never wrong. Unless you're counting anything education-related, but still! I felt it as soon as I woke up this morning and the sun was already up in the April sky. It's a good sign, in case you didn't know.
A good sign for love!
And I know, you must be wondering why I pointed out it's a love sign. That's because I am in desperate need of it. Love, I mean. I'm tired of being single! I want someone to cuddle, hold, and kiss for no reason! Everyone gets that except me, and hello, have you seen my eyes? It's not like I'm ugly. I'd like to think I'm pretty cute, but the longer I stay single the longer I begin to doubt it.
You see, in my small town of Konoha there's only one elementary school, one middle school, and one high school. Everyone knows each other around here; we're like one big happy family. It's what I love about Konoha; I really, really, love this place. And I love everyone in it.
Well…almost everyone.
I know that technically on such a good day like this you shouldn't talk bad about someone, but for this I can make an exception.
For example, 'if' I was using the name Sasuke Uchiha.
And only if I was pointing out to you how mean and cruel and how he thinks he's so damn cool and he's not! So what if his hair defies gravity, I mean, hasn't anyone ever heard of hair gel? Apparently not in this town, because every girl (and most guys) are practically in love with him! Except for me of course, he's my Number One Enemy and rival and I want nothing more than to beat him in something and see that smirk fall off his face!
But enough talking about him, we're talking about my love life. Or lack thereof, actually. My real dilemma is that next Saturday is the Konoha Fireworks Festival. It's a really big deal around here, but it's only big if you have a special someone to go with! There's a little rumor that if you kiss the one you love during the fireworks, you'll be with them forever.
But I don't have a special someone yet, and it's four days away. I'm running out of time!
That's why, I, Naruto Uzumaki, with my spiky blond hair and pretty blue eyes, have decided to trek on the journey of love and not stop until I'm with the one I can't be without!
Of course, it has to be a boy. Girls still have cooties to me.
That's why this time around I've come prepared! I've written up a list. Don't laugh, but yes, it's a list of people who I've ever been even remotely attracted to, ever. It took me all day to complete and even though I got a detention for not paying attention in class, it was completely worth it. You wanna see it? Of course you do, and I'll tell you everything about it too.
First on my list is Kiba. Of course, he's already my best friend and you know what they say, the best relationships come out of friendships, right? Besides, he's got this wild look about him that I've always thought was really cool and I heard from a few rumors that Kiba is an insanely good kisser. I've always wanted to see if that was true or not.
Then I have Neji because duh, he's the smartest boy in our high school, president of all the important clubs, and he's the best at Kendo! His hair is absolutely amazing and his eyes are so pretty. Did I mention he's older too? All that coolness is just my type; we would be a perfect match together, so don't laugh at me.
And if both of them didn't work out, I have Gaara since we were on okay terms and we can understand each other on a more personal level. He doesn't talk much but I've always thought that the quiet types were really cute. His red hair and green eyes are really beautiful, except when he's staring at you. Then it can get creepy.
After him I had Sai since I figured he already liked me, although he reminds me of Sasuke so much I'm not so sure about him. He is cute though, and he's pretty flamboyant, which may or may not be a good thing.
Next was Shikamaru, because I figured this would be another good example of opposites attract, and please, Shikamaru is by no means repulsive. He's kinda cute in his own way, and he's so non-drama that a relationship with him probably would be like floating on a cloud, no pun intended. If we can just get by his stalker Ino, I'm sure our future love would flourish at the festival!
Hah, then I put Rock Lee at the end, in case I reached complete and utter despair. No, don't look at me like that. With all that exercise I'm sure his body is amazing even if his face isn't all that hot. If I went out with him for even a week I'm sure that my body would end up as amazing as his too.
Then for kicks I added Sasuke. Wouldn't that be hilarious if instead of fighting we did…other equally exhausting things? Ew, bad thoughts. But seriously, I thought it'd be pretty funny if the 'loser' like me scored Konoha's hottie. Pfft, like I'd ever go out with him, anyway. I'll never reach the bottom of my list, that's for sure.
Then I signed it with my name and stamped it with some ink I stole from Sai's desk so that I won't forget to follow this list straight down and put my whole heart into it.
I, Naruto Uzumaki, will find love, just you wait.
Pretty short for an introductory, right?
