Cookies

There she sat, he thought. The girl he had liked since he first saw her last year. She had the prettiest pink hair he had seen. But much to his discontent, the other kids kept picking on her, calling her names like "Forehead" and "Billboard Brow". It really upset the blond boy, because he thought her forehead was cute. It pained him every time he saw her jade eyes swell with tears.

The other kids, the ones that were mean to her, left him alone for the most part; their parents would always tear them away from him if they ever saw them near him. He decided to, one day, use this to keep the other kids from picking on the pink haired girl. He walked over to her at lunch time, and sat down next to her, introducing himself with a friendly smile, "Hi, I'm Naruto Uzumaki, what's your name?"

The girl found his warm smile comforting and somewhat infectious, returning it, and giving her name as well, "I'm Sakura Haruno."

"Sakura, that's a pretty name," he replied, happy that she wasn't afraid of him, like the others were. "Why do the other kids pick on you?" he asked.

"It's because of my forehead, it's HUGE," Sakura exclaimed, tears coming to the corners of her eyes.

"No it's not," Naruto said, catching her tear with his thumb, as it traveled down her cheek. "I think your forehead is nice," he added, with a slight blush in his cheeks.

Sakura's face blushed slightly as well, at hearing the compliment. Suddenly, a thought crossed her mind, "Would you like to share my cookies?" she offered.

"I'd love to Sakura-chan!" he declared happily, causing another blush from the girl next to him at hearing the honorific added to her name. Sakura handed him a cookie, and they sat there together, eating happily, each enjoying the new friend they had made.
