A day in the life of Sakura.
Sakura woke up and realised that it was the day she had been waiting for all year. She looked over at the calendar on her bedside table. March 14th, it proclaimed. White day, a month after Valentine's Day, where boys gave the girls of the village chocolates as a token of their affection. This year, like the past several, she was hoping that she would receive a little something from Sasuke. But it was always nice to find out you had a secret admirer. Unfortunately, this year, she was in for a little more than she had bargained for.
She stepped outside, basking in the gentle warmth of the sun. For March, there was no sign of the biting cold you could get at this time of year. She was humming the beginnings of a song when she felt someone tug at her skirt. She looked down to see a little boy, probably no older than 8 years old, holding onto the hem of her skirt.
"Can I help you?" she asked, bending down slightly.
"Erm . . . would you accept this gift, Sakura-chan?" he mumbled, blushing bright red, holding a scruffily wrapped box.
Sakura smiled and pecked him on the cheek.
"Of course. Thank you," she laughed as the little boy pressed the box into her hands.
As she walked away with a wave to her new admirer, various other boys from the Academy watched, feeling slightly braver. If that kid could do it, why couldn't they?
Sakura walked along the main road, humming to herself and generally being in a good mood. Suddenly, she heard something in the distance. Quiet at first, but getting ever-louder, was the sound of . . . several pairs of running feet. She turned to see what the commotion was and saw what looked like a wave of boys clutching various-sized packages and waving at her. Her eyes widened in fear and shock. She began running, looking all the while for places to stop and hide.
Half an hour later, she was still running and getting ever-more desperate. Finally, she found a suitably high tree, which she quickly climbed.
"Is this . . . is this how . . . Sasuke feels on Valentine's Day?" she panted when she was safely seated on a branch.
"Pretty much," Sasuke replied from above her. "I even get it today. You'd never guess how many of the genin in this village have been hiding in the closet."
"Who did you get presents from today then?" she asked.
"Well . . . the only one of note would be Naruto. He's such a sweetie!" he giggled in reply.
He heard a thud as Sakura fainted and fell out of the tree. She later woke up surrounded by leagues of love-struck Academy students.
