SATURDAY
After Sasuke's outburst, Sakura decided that the two of them left should start picking weeds again to finish the job.
"Are you sad, Sak'ra-chan?"
"No. Why would I be?"
"Because of what Sasuke said."
"I'm not. I'm fine."
"Okayyy Sak'ra-chan. I hope you're not lying to me, I'm always here for you Sakura-chan!"
The said girl smiled, she's grateful for having a teammate like this.

On the way to his Apartment, Naruto noticed his ebony-haired classmate. Hinata.
"Hinata?"
"N..Naruto.. Kun.." Her milky white eyes glistening with tears.
"Umm.. I don't really know 'ya, but are 'ya fine?"
"Yes. I'm fine." She answered, still crying.
"I'm not that dumb y'know. I'm gon' be Hokage someday and Hokages are supposed to be smart!"
"I..."
"Anyways! Why're you cryin' Hinata? Did someone bully you 'coz of the color of your eyes? Y'Know, when I was a kid, everybody bullied me too! But it's fiiine, I'm gonna be Hokage someday and prove 'em that I'm not a monster!"
"I.. It's b-because.."
Hinata flushed, blood rushed to her face.
The girl fidgeted.
"Ah. Hinata? 'Ya there?"
"U-Um.. M-My Father t-thinks that I.. I'm w-weak.. A-And.."
Tears fell down from her eyes again, her father's words circled her mind.
"Whaaaat! You need to prove him wrong! 'Ya should train Y'Know! Prove him wrong! Y'know what?"
"W.. W.. What?"
Thank God she didn't faint.
"I have an idea! Let's prove them wrong together Hinata!"
"N-Naruto-Kun!"

Sakura can not take it, the pain is unbearable, she needs someone.. Who can understand her. Someone.
She missed her parents.
Naruto!
"I.. I need you, Naruto."
The rosette clenched her chest, desperately stopping her tears from falling.
She needed Naruto. She needed a friend that understands.
This time, she'll make sure to tell him the truth, that she, herself don't have parents too. That Sasuke's words were wrong.
She stood up, despite her legs wobbling.
I.. Need you..

"Naruto!"
The said boy turned around, allowing him to see the pinkette.
"Sakura-chaaaan!"
"Can I talk to you?"
The obnoxious blonde shrugged.
"Sure!"
"J..Just the two of us?"
Naruto looked at the ebony-haired girl beside him, her tear streaked eyes glistened.
"G-Go on, N-Naruto-Kun.. Y-You can come back l-later."
The blonde then felt bad.
"Sorry.. Sakura-chan, but Hinata needs me now y'know, she's sad and I'll help her be happy y'know. We can talk later then? Or maybe tomorrow."
"Oh."
"See 'ya Sakura-chaaan!"
"Bye, Naruto."
He never saw the melancholic smile plastered on her face.
He never saw.
···
Please don't hate on Hinata, she wasn't forcing Naruto to stay. She's just sad because she thought Naruto's gonna choose Sakura since they're teammates and friends.
