This is as good as it's gonna get.
"We're off to the first spot for campaigning," said Deidara, the running president in their party.
"Ganbatte, minna! Let's do our best today," Tayuya added.
I'm gonna need the luck. Sakura thought.
The party walked out from the base to the elementary building. The first class to be campaigned for is the 1B of the elementary level.
I may be popular in the upper classes because of Sachiko, my genius ever sis, but nobody knows me here. :x
She was looking for someone to focus her eye on, apparently Itachi, but she saw someone else.
"Onii-chaaaan!" said a raven-haired girl with dark eyes approaching someone near her.
I've had enough raven-haired, dark-eyed people.
To her surprise, the little girl hugged someone, someone behind her.
O...on-ii...onii-chan? This girl is their sister?!
"Hey my little princess. What's up?" Uchiha Sasuke asked with a smiling face, the first time Sakura ever saw him smile with pure happiness and good intentions.
Ne, that's just because a smirk doesn't count as a smile!
Whatever, Sakura.
"We played tag and hide and seek today, Onii-chan, and I saw a pretty lady just now!"
"Oh, who is?"
"Her!" she pointed suddenly to the pink-haired, green-eyed girl who was listening and was on a sudden shock of what Uchiha-little-sister-version said.
M..me? Pretty? Aww... this girl is sweet. I hope only Uchiha Sasuke is mean and rude in their family.
"Do you need specs now, Nee-chan?" said Uchiha Sasuke trying to hold his laugh.
"Maybe YOU need specs, Onii-chan!" argued the little girl.
Right on, Uchiha-little-sister-version!
Sasuke just smirked and looked at Sakura who apparently heard everything.
"...So, good-for-nothing girl, are you flattered?"
Shocked, she answered, "Many people tell those kind of stuff to me! And I'm not good-for-nothing!"
"Oh, really?"
Sasuke looked to the right, and to the left, in front and on his back and he saw Itachi standing and holding their platforms.
"Ne, Onii-san!"
His attention was caught by Sasuke.
"What?"
"Do you think this GIRL is PRETTY?" he pin-pointed Sakura who was now trying to hide her face and the blush on her cheeks.
. . .
Cold moments. I wish the earth will just eat me away.
...
..
.
"Of course," Itachi looked at the now ultimately blushing pink-haired, green-eyed girl.
...and he smiled.
Oh...my...God! What the hell just happened? I feel like I'm in cloud nine...no, I feel like I'm in heaven.
"What the hell did they eat just now?" he asked himself and he looked at Sakura with his eyes of disappointment but still fierce.
Sakura, in return, was looking at him as well and she stuck out her tongue as if saying, "Boo, who's good-for-nothing now?"

Campaign Time!!!
"Ohayou, minna. I'm Uchiha Itachi running for secretary this school year.
So, what does a secretary do?
Blah blah blah
...."
Itachi was giving off information about him and about his position but Sakura's mind wandered off...again, like the usual.
If he said I'm pretty even after the incident that occurred earlier...even if that sneaky-raven-noser told him that I like him and some other mean stuff, probably, like drooling over him on purpose and the likes...then...maybe, just maybe...
...he likes you too?
Urgh! STFU Narrator, you're just here to narrate! Stay out of my business.
I also make the story.
Whatever! Just psshh and don't steal away my thunder!
Does he like me? I mean, is there a possibility? I'm just a nine-year old fourth grader who knows nothing about love but is it possible that he could teach me...teach me how to fall in love?
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Back to reality, the major running candidates, including Itachi, have finished introducing and campaigning and all that's left are the minor ones, who will run as representatives for their level, that which includes Mr. UN-who-won-because-he-just-wore-boxers and Ms. Good-for-nothing.
"...And for our fifth grade representative, Mr. Uchiha Sasuke from class 5B!" Tayuya said with appealing eyes to encourage the almost bored students.
Uchiha smirked just like what he usually does and threw his jacket aiming at Sakura's face but it went straight to her shoulders instead.
"Well, uh... I'm Uchiha Sasuke from class 5B, and I'm running for the fifth-grade representative slot. So, uh, just vote me...'coz I'm the maaan!"
What's with his intonation of man for? Urgh, his jacket smells like sweat.
But his jacket smelled just fine with not enough fragrance but not on the level of the stinky group, it smelled like the fragrance of the morning breeze and...
Ne, narrator, are you in love with him? Why are you saying that for?
....
The audience clapped at Sasuke with cheering voices. The girls, even though they are just ages 6-7 shouted "We love you, Uchiha-senpai".
"That's my brother!" Uchiha-little-sister-version proudly said with might.
Uchiha Sasuke winked and exited the front space of the class that was meant to be a stage.
"Next is Haruno Sakura from class 4A," Tayuya said with a happy face, as usual.
"Ohayou, minna. I'm Haruno Sakura from class 4A, please vote me for the fourth grade representative slot for this year because as young as I am, I want to help the students in this loving school of ours so that we'll have more fun and enjoyment this year..."
The students clapped, some understood, some was lost, and the others got down their energy.
"Ne, she's intelligent as well," Uchiha-little-sister-version whispered to the person next to her who seemed to be her best friend.
The girl she whispered to nodded.
The moment Sakura had finished introducing herself and she smiled at the crowd of growing toddlers, a little girl from the background shouted,
"Sakura-chenpai, you and Sasuke-chenpai look good together. You're like a match made from heaven."
ME AND HIM?! WHERE DO THESE KIDS LEARN THOSE KIND OF STUFF?!
Sasuke smirked unexpectedly and Itachi smiled a little but Sakura perceived his smile as something not on his will, y'know, as if he was forced to do that.
Was he hurt?
Now, young Sakura thinks Itachi likes him. Does or doesn't he?

Later that night, Sakura was alone in the room she shared with her elder sister, Sachiko. She did her usual stuff before going to bed.

Dear Diary,
Today, I was excused for our Math class till the last period because of the Student Body Council's campaign for the running candidates. I am on the Power party list with Deidara-senpai, Tayuya-senpai and I met someone special today. He is a senior from class 4B named Uchiha Itachi. He has a younger brother (Uchiha Sasuke from 5B, also a candidate) and a younger sister (girl from 1B, I don't know her name yet). His sister told me I was pretty and his brother asked him for confirmation. And guess what? He said yes. I am head over heels.
I must admit that I am just a child who knew nothing about love. But just like what I see in the tellies, love does not limit people, especially kids. So I am asking myself the question if I am in love. However, I may have second thoughts for I only felt these what they call butterflies today, and I hope, as I wake up tomorrow, I will still feel them.
Am I in love? I need a sign.
Truly yours,
Sakura-chan~
She shut off her night lamp and decided to dream away.
