Chapter 1
I plopped down on my bed, exhausted. How did Tenten convince me to sign up for Track and Field when I knew perfectly well that it was pure torture? Why did running eight laps around the football field seem reasonable? Tenten said something about it being healthy and that I'm going to loose weight but honestly, I'd rather sit, talk, and eat during lunchtime, not run, sweat and starve. After five minutes of just lying on my soft cashmere blanket, I heard a familiar "ping" and realized it was coming from my computer. Someone send me an instant message. I yawned and made my way to my writing desk. I'll just answer and go back to bed…
SLEEPY HEAD: HOW WAS TRACK AND FIELD?
It was my best friend Sakura. Since she always slept in class, Hinata gave her the nickname "Sleepy Head". Suits her well.
BLONDE AND PROUD: SUCKED!! I JOGGED MOST OF THE 5KM. SOO TIRED.
SLEEPY HEAD: THAT'S EXACTLY WHY I DIDN'T SIGN UP
BLONDE AND PROUD: YOU WOULD HURT YOURSELF IF YOU SLEPT WHILE RUNNING
SLEEPY HEAD: THAT 2
Our conversation was interrupted by QTPI. Also known as Hinata.
QTPI: WHAT'S UP??
BLONDE AND PROUD: SOO TIRED….I WANNA SLEEP!
QTPI: SAKURA IS INFLUENCING U!!
BLONDE AND PROUD: ACTUALLY, I'M TIRED AFTER TRACK. YOU TRY RUNNING 5KM!
QTPI: NO THANX. TENTEN IS TRYING TO CONVINCE ME 2 JOIN
BLONDE AND PROUD: DON'T LISTEN 2 HER. IT'S 4 YOUR OWN GOOD!! TRUST ME!!
Well, one thing's clear. I'm quitting the darn Track and Field club! Hinata could join if she wants too, but not me! I've had enough.
BLONDE AND PROUD: I'M QUITTING!!
TENTEN: QUITTING WHAT?
BLONDE AND PROUD: THE STUPID TRACK AND FIELD CLUB. WHAT ELSE?
TENTEN: NO!! INO! DON'T!! IT'S HEALTHY, REMEMBER?
BLONDE AND PROUD: GYM IS ENOUGH
TENTEN: OH WELL, HINATA WILL RUN WITH ME!
BLONDE AND PROUD: SHE'LL QUIT. I KNOW HER WELL ENOUGH
TENTEN: 10 BUCKS SHE WON'T
BLONDE AND PROUD: DONE.
With my weekly allowance and ten dollars from Tenten, I'll be able to buy that pretty shirt I saw yesterday. One good thing happened today.
