"I'll ask her today," he muttered to himself as he put away his binders into his beat up locker. He had punched it in several times for not doing something he should've done sooner. Like an important assignment, but he remembers every reason for each punch clearly. The one at the very top was from not asking Sakura out sooner. The one at the bottom right hand corner was for the important assignment, and the last one, which is underneath the top one, was from missing someone he dearly wanted to punch for hurting his friend's feelings. He is very protective when it came to his friends. And now the only thing he took from his locker was a slip of paper. He was going to be saying the announcements for this morning.
"Thank you for listening to me, but I would like to make two additional announcements," he began. "First, could everyone please go to the gym after school for a short assembly, and two, I would like to wish one of my good friends, and girlfriend, Sakura, a happy 17th birthday!" he ended with a smile and began jogging to his locker to gather his things for first period. Today was going to be a very good day. Five hours passed like a tornado to him. He pulled out the ring and hoped for the best. Everyone was murmuring to each other with confusion as they saw Kakashi trot to the center of the gymnasium floor with a microphone in hand. Kakashi was a guy that loved giving out surprises, he had gray hair that turned silver in the summer, a cross country runner that wore a hat, and was always funny but crazy at the same time.
"I would like Sakura to come and stand next to me, please?" This was the day in the eleventh grade that he had been waiting for for a very long time. The love of his life stood next to him with a body posture he never could read. She had a crooked smile, her pink hair was usually wavy and down to her shoulders but today it was tied up in a pony tail, her shiny white teeth made her sparkle, she never wore make up because her skin had a nice tan, and the black clothes that she wore made her look gothic with her black eyelashes - she was the opposite of gothic; kind, crazy, and fun to be around. As he knelt down on one knee and pulled out the ring, the audience gasped with surprise, and yet they knew it was bound to happen. Sakura and Kakashi had been dating ever since the eighth grade and had kept their relationship strong.
"Sakura, in the eighth grade we made a promise that I was going to propose to you when we were older... Sakura, will you marry me?" Hatake blurted out. He was ready for anything; even rejection.
"Why wouldn't I?" a very typical response from the gorgeous girl. The room cheered as he swept her off her feet and made way to the car park where his Jeep was parked awaiting the two of them. Another school year later and they graduated together. They had planned their future wedding ever since school broke out and decided to get married in the northwestern part of Scotland. Sakura had always said it was beautiful.
