Jealousy and Troublesome Lovers
Prologue
A blond and aquamarine-eyes girl woke up from her deep sleep, ready to reach her target; telling the boy she likes she has a crush on him.
She took a shower in less than five minutes, she put on a white and blue shirt with suspenders, dark blue jeans, white sneakers with black stripes on the sides and she comb her hair in her typical four pigtails.
She went down to the kitchen to prepare a delicious breakfast. When she arrived, she saw one of her brothers. She got surprised.
-Hi sister.
-Hi Gaara. I thought you were sleeping.
-I couldn't. I have a lot of things to think about.
-Like what?
-School.
-Something else?
-No, anything.
-Are you sure?
-Well, recently I've had problems with Matsuri.
-Why?
-She says that I think more in my stuff than about her.
-Maybe she's right. The last days you have been concentrated on delivering school workshops than spending time with your girlfriend.
-I know, but it's very important for me. It's my opportunity to get a scholarship in the best university of the city-her sister put a hand on his shoulder.
-Gaara, you're very smart. You can get a scholarship anywhere, it doesn't have to be in the best university from here.
-But there is where I want to study my career.
-Look, there are better places where you can study business administration; the ones from abroad for example.
-Yeah, you're right. I'm going to talk with Matsuri to apologize for not being a good boyfriend for her.
-Great.-She ruffled his disheveled red locks and a smile formed on his lips.-Well, I have to go.
-Where are you going?
-I'm going to meet Ino and Tenten at the mall to go shopping.
-I thought you didn't like to go shopping.
-I don't like it, but there's a good reason to do it this time.
-That is…?
-I won't tell you.
-As you wish. I won't insist on it. Have fun.
-Arigato brother.-The blond girl hugged his brother and left home. Upon arriving at the meeting place, she saw that her friends were waiting for her. She approached to them and exclaimed.-Hi girls.
-Hi Temari. Are you ready for your perfect date?
-Yeah.-All of them got into a shop full of clothes, especially dresses. Ino and Tenten found the ideal attire. After many hours checking every available options, they kept their eyes on a little violet dress without suspenders, but with blue pebbles in the bottom of the skirt. They took it and showed it to their friend.
-Look Temari, what do you think about this one?
-It's cute, I will try on it-the woman came into the dressing room and put on the suggestion of her friends. When she came out, they were impressed.-So, how do I look?
-Better than the other 40 dresses we found for you. It's perfect.
-Ino's right. Besides, it emphasize the color of your eyes.
-Do you think he will like it?
-He'll love it. Believe me-after buying the dress, the three friends went to a shoe shop. In this case, they didn't delay too much, they just made that Temari try on 20 pairs of different high heels until they found the best ones. They were the same color of the dress.
-These ones are perfect.-Said with a huge happiness the blond-ponytail girl.
-Now, the most important thing.
-What? Don't you think these is enough? It's just a picnic.
-No, it isn't. We have to make you up.
-Seriously, it is not necessary.-Said the blond girl of the four pigtails shaking her hands as a signal of denial.
-Ok, if you feel well, we won't make you feel more pressure than you already have.
-Thanks for understand Tenten.
-It's fine. Your beauty doesn't need extra accessories. Now, go on and won him over.
-Hai-the blond girl went to the place where the meeting was stablished with her crush. When she arrived, she saw he was there, waiting for her. She took a deep breath and approached slowly.
-Hi Shikamaru.-The named one focus his look on the girl that was in front of him and he smiled; what made her very nervous.
-Hey, I thought you will never come.
-Well, I had some…mishaps.-She said a little embarrassed, scratching her left arm.
-I see. Come on, sit down.-She listened to him and took a seat beside him on the tablecloth.-By the way, you look different. Did you do something to yourself?
-Well…-Temari was redder than a tomato.-Yeah, but it's not the big deal.
-You look good. It's the first time you fix yourself so much.
-Yes, I know. It's because…this moment is very important for me.
-Really? Why?
-Because…there's something I have been hiding you since a long time ago and I think you should know it.-She took a breath after saying that sentence so fast and haven't stopped.
-What do you mean? Why did you hide me something? We've been friends since we can remember, you know you can trust me. It doesn't matter what it is, I'll understand it.
-Seriously?
-Seriously. If there's something you want to tell me, don't have any doubt. I'll always be here for you.
-Alright. Etto…I…-The black-haired guy took her by her shoulders and caressed them with his thumbs.
-Calm down. Tell me what you need, ok?-She nodded, took a breath and started to talk.
-I…I like you a lot Shikamaru. I began to feel this since I met you and I didn't want to tell you because I was scared of your reaction and that my feelings were not complemented.-The lazy guy was surprised.
-Ok…this wasn't what I expected. Well, it moves me that you have a crush on me, but…I don't think we can be more than friends.
-Why not?-Temari's eyes were very open and it looked like she wanted to cry, but she remained firm.
-Because…etto…I really like the friendship we have and I don't want that to change. Besides, I like other girl.
-I got it. I don't know why I told you about it if I knew what the answer I'll receive.
-Temari…
-Don't worry, ok? It was obvious this was never going to work. Forgive me for wasting your time. The best thing that I can do is to go home.-The blond girl stood up, she took off her high heels and ran out of the place, hiding the big embarrassment she was feeling. She arrived to her house and closed the door with force.
-Temari? What happened? Why are you crying?
-Don't worry Kankuro. I'm fine. I just got a fluff in my eye.-She went to her room and locked herself. She lay back on her bed and stared at the ceiling for what seemed like hours.
-I'm a foolish, why did I expected him to feel the same? I know I'm not the kind of girl which someone could fall in love with.-Without thinking, she fell asleep with her eyes swollen and red from having released tears.
oooooooOOOOOOOOooooooo
Well, here we come with a new story. Hope you like it. It may seem a bit cliché, but events won't be so, or that's what I prefer.
The way Shikamaru rejected Temari was so subtle and direct at the same time. This is how you should leave someone in the friend zone jaja.
You may say that I have left Temari weak here, but it's not like that. She didn't cry in front of Shikamaru, that shows the typical pride she has. Keep calm, she will have the personality all of us know.
This is the first time I write one of my creations in English, so if I have some mistakes, tell me and I'll correct them to improve the language, please, it will mean a lot for me.
I want to dedicate this story to the girl that told me she wanted to read it, but she doesn't understands too much Spanish. Her username is kimimakasato. Thanks for take part of your time to write a commentary here, it was awesome and I appreciate it a lot.
-Te: Another story? Aren't you tired of creating?
-Me: No. Seriously, always, when I imagine something, I have a lot of ideas in my head and I need to express them to not forget them.
-Te: And why Shikamaru had to reject me and I couldn't?
-Me: Because the last time you did it. It's the moment to change a little bit the roles, isn't it?
-Te: Whatever, I'll just tell you that this has crushed my pride.
-Both of us: Thanks for reading and see you in the next chapter.
