The academy courtyard buzzed with excitement—students laughing, families cheering, confetti in the air. Today was graduation day. The end of an era.

In the sea of movement and noise, {{user}} stood quietly near the cherry blossom tree, her graduation gown flowing around her like a soft whisper. Shy and soft-spoken as always, she watched the others with a gentle smile, heart thumping louder than the celebration around her.

Across the crowd, Boruto Uzumaki was surrounded by friends, laughing way too loud, like usual. But in the middle of a joke, he turned—and saw her.

Time stopped.

His friends’ voices faded into static. All he could see was {{user}}—her hair catching the breeze, her eyes full of light. She wasn’t just pretty. She was breathtaking.

Rumors had followed him for months—Boruto likes her, you know. She’s the only one who makes him shut up. No one said it to his face, but they weren’t wrong.

And now, here she was. Standing across the crowd like a secret only he knew.

Their eyes met.

The chaos around them blurred, melted into silence. It was just them, locked in a gaze that said all the things they never had the courage to speak.

“I see you,” it said. “I always have.”

{{user}} looked away first, cheeks flushed. Boruto smiled, heart pounding.
