Sakura felt like she was floating on air.
She didn't know why. She just woke up with a warm, optimistic feeling filling her chest, and the constant thought that it was going to be a good day.
And it was. Her hair didn't look bad, (which, technically, didn't matter since it always got messed up during training), the weather was nice, Kakashi wasn't horribly late, and the training drills were unusually simple.
A smile remained on her face all day, pulling at her lips so hard she thought her face might split. But it was a good – joy induced pain was always good. Because, if that little pain was all that bothered her, things had to be going amazingly well.
Everyone seemed to notice her cheerful mood. They would smile back or make a comment that only served to lift her higher up on her metaphorical cloud.
Well, everyone except Sasuke.
As usual, he was stoic and silent, focused on his task and nothing else. However, for once, this didn't bother Sakura. Instead of putting all her efforts into getting his attention and earning his approval, she simply enjoyed herself. Her happiness remained intact, and she continued to smile and laugh and take the pleasure in the almost-perfect day.
And, when she wasn't looking, Sasuke smiled back.
