"H-Here."
The blonde haired child stared, absolutely dumbfounded.
Large, cerulean eyes were wide with disbelief as he stared at the lone, half-wilted flower grasped tightly in the unknown girl's hand.
Her expression was less than friendly, but not hostile either. In fact, she seemed more scared and nervous than anything.
"H-Here, take it..."
Emerald eyes were pleading as she shoved the plant closer towards the young boy, displaying much urgency.
She wasn't supposed to be talking to him.
He knew that.
She wasn't even supposed to be looking at him.
He knew that too.
And although he did not know why, he knew that she wasn't supposed to become friends with him, ever.
The moment their hands touched, the mysterious girl was away and back in the crowd.
His cerulean blue orbs followed her as she was slowly engulfed by her sea of friends, very much bewildered yet disappointed at the same time.
She wasn't good, he decided.
She wasn't what he was hoping for- a friend. (Though perhaps he was being greedy for even asking.)
She wasn't exactly kind nor did she have pure intentions. (He knew it was all a dare, and he knew she'd never really be his friend)
He eyed the simple, half-wilted flower in his hand, a small smile making its way to his lips.
Though, she wasn't that bad either.

Installment TWO of my "Revisit to vol.01 of the Naruto manga expedition" ideas. I hope you enjoyed it. Prompt behind writing this: There had to be a reason why Naruto liked/likes Sakura and I imagine it could start here.
Believe it or not, I wrote these drabbles so long ago that I forgot to publish them. Shame on me...
