Summary: She wasn't a very prideful person...


Sakura wasn't a very prideful person.

As in, her esteem has always been considerably lowered as the days went by.

When she was twelve, and just graduated, it was because Sasuke-kun kept rejecting her. When she looks back, it sounds pretty silly and plain obsessive.

When she was thirteen, and was entered in the Chuunin examination, it was because she saw many people stronger than her, including that Naruto. When she looks back, it sounds pretty strange that she actually got that far.

When she was fifteen, and saw the Uchiha again, it was because of his rejection- of both her and Naruto. When she looks back, she knows it's not her fault.

Now that she's not young and stupid anymore, she still hasn't regained the original amount of pride she used to have.

But she knows she's proud of something now- Sakura was proud that he was with her, however troublesome he kept saying it is to be there.
