"Breathe Sasuke…breathe." I whispered for myself.
"Why are you talking to yourself?" Naruto asked me.
"I lost yet again another bet. I can't believe I keep making bets, when I know I always lose them."
"What's the damage this time?"
"For prom… I have to… ya know…"
"Text it to me if you don't wanna say it out loud."
"I'll text ya later. I have to be somewhere at the moment."
"Sure. See yeah later Sasuke. Oh and who are you taking to prom?"
"No one at the moment."
"Im taking Sakura."
"Guess what. I don't care."
"Bye Sasuke."
"Piss off."
Naruto rolled his eyes and walked away.
I walked to the mall after that.
Prom was a big thing for people. Not so much for me though. But after the lost bet, I kinda had to go to prom.
I sat down on a bench closest to Damon's Diaries. I had heard that they sell really beautiful expensive prom dresses there.
I pulled out my phone.
ME: Okay slut where are you?
INO: Im in Damon's. Where r u?
ME: Im almost there.
INO: hurry then.
ME: Yo Dobe.
NARUTO: Oi Teme. Care to tell me what the damage of the bet was?
ME: I have to go to prom.
NARUTO: O.o OMG r u shitting me? LMFAO. XD
ME: I don't think it's that funny.
NARUTO: Well I have to go. Bye Teme
ME: …
ME: Yo hippie. U there?
NEJI: Hiya Sasu. Have you picked out a dress yet?
ME: No but im about to.
NEJI: u gonna send me a pic of ur dress?
ME: you're just gonna have to wait. Just like everyone else.
NEJI: U can't be doing this on ur own. so who have you threatened to help you out?
ME: I haven't threatened anyone. Well g2g. my dress awaits. -/- I hate u so much.
I got up and walked into Damon's with a sigh.
The store was closed so I could at least hide from the humiliation a little while longer.
"Hey Sasuke. come on in the back." Ino worked at Damon's. But she liked to leave when she closed her store down for the day. I was just glad she decided to help me out. "I think this one suits you."
I looked at the dress. It was a gothic dress.
I grinned and gave a sigh of relief. "I like it."
"I knew you would. I saved it for you." suddenly her hand went to her stomach and she moaned out.
"Period?"
She nodded. "And it's killing me."
"Here." I handed her my container of aspirin.
"Why are you carrying this around with you?"
"for all the times I get headaches from being annoyed."
She smiled. "I guess you spend your money on aspirin all the time."
"That and all the things I need to survive in this shit hole of a world. Yo, you going to prom?"
"wasn't planning on it."
"Neither was i. but look at me now."
She smiled and handed me my container. "True. I'll go with you. if you ask me to go."
I gave her a look. "Fine. will you go to prom with me?"
"I'll think about it." she then laughed.
"Very funny."
"I'll bring this over by your house later."
I nodded as I was paying for it. "Peace Ino."
"Bye Sasuke."
I walked out of Damon's Diaries, with nothing more then a memory of my dress.
I truly hated my life. I knew no one would ever let me forget this.
I walked to the training grounds.
It would take Ino till night to get to my house. She liked to stop and smell the flowers or some odd nonsense like that.
After training, I headed home.
I noticed that my curtains had moved.
"Ino…" I said to myself.
She met me at the door. "Hiya Sasuke."
"You're supposed to wait until im home to barge in."
"Well you were the one who gave me a key."
I looked away. "I know I know. So did you bring the… you know what?"
"Yes. But why did you wait till a week before the prom to get a dress…?"
"Okay one, I wasn't even gonna go. And two, I just lost a bet. And three, I don't wear dresses."
She giggled. "I know Sasuke. I was just fucking around with you. and yes, I will go with you to the prom so you are not the sad sap who doesn't have a good time."
"Thank you Ino."
"Okay. Now it is time for the training."
"What are you talking about?"
"You need to sound and act like a girl."
"Sounding like one is the easy part. It's the walking in heels that I might have the problem with."
"We'll start on that then."
"Right now?"
"It might take you some time to get used to them."
I grinned. I had a secret but I wouldn't share it with her. "Sure. Okay."
"You wore your mom's heels as a kid?" she laughed.
I narrowed my eyes at her. "Stop reading my mind."
"Keep your thoughts to yourself then."
