Guys, a bunch of people have put this story on their alerts... Like a lot more than I expected. So thanks! ^.^ Could I maybe get a review or two though? It just helps motivate me to write more and lets me know what to improve on and exactly what you guys like. Thanks!
"Ryaaaaaaaa!" Ino exclaims as she opens the door. "Hey everyone, Rya's here!' She grabs my arm and drags me in the house.
"Ouch! Damn Ino, no need to pull."
"Sorry, sorry!" She brings me into the living room where I'm greeted excitedly by our class. "Maybe if you weren't so late it wouldn't be necessary!"
"Umm.. That literally makes no sense. First of all I'm only late by like 5 minutes. And second, even if I was super late what the fuck would trying to rip my arm out of it's socket have to do with it?"
"Whoa whoa, chill out you two." Kiba says as he gets up from a couch, grinning, to give me a friendly hug. "We don't need any cat fights tonight."
I look around the room at the familiar faces I'd known for years; some of which I haven't seen for awhile. Shikamaru, Gaara, Choji, and Temari are chatting by some snacks . Lee, Shino, and Neji are sitting on the couch Kiba had gotten up from with Sakura, Hinata and Tenten sitting on a couch directly across from them. And Sasuke is simply slouching against the wall by the entrance to the kitchen.
"Alriiiight! We've got the booze!" Says a terribly familiar voice that is followed by Naruto and none other than Kankuro carrying in a cooler from the kitchen.
Following his announcement, Kankuro glances around the room, making eye contact with me. "Uhn- Um.." He stammers. "Hey Rya, you're finally here!" He grins that idiotic grin of his as if we hadn't shared an extremely awkward moment a couple months ago; as if we are still the best of friends.
"Hey, Kankuro." I smile back. After all, maybe it's best to just pretend his confession never happened. I mean he's probably moved on by now and I want us to be friends again right?
"Ok, let's get this party started already!" whines Naruto as he throws open the cooler and begins passing out beers to everyone.
"Um… No thank you, Naruto.." Says Gaara, as Naruto tries to shove a bottle into his hands.
"Aww c'mon, Gaara!" Exclaims a voice directly to my left, making me jump. "Loosen up a little!"
I look to my left side to see Kankuro knock back a beer. "Ay Rya, you take it easy tonight though." I cock an eyebrow. "I mean we all now you like your liquor, but we can't have you passing out all over everyone tonight like you were with that guy at Club Katani a few years ago."
My mouth falls open. "Ummm… Excuse you? That is not what happened and you know it!"
"Ah, relax Rya. I'm only playing." He says as he places a hand on my shoulder, everyone the room open mouthed staring at us. None of them knew about Kankuro's confession, not even his siblings, and before it we had joked around like this all the time. Except now I was genuinely mad. So you confess to having feelings for me, avoid me for months, and now we're finally talking again and you decide to pull some shit like this? Yeah, alright, Kankuro. I was wrong, there's no fucking way I can pretend that confession never happened.
I grab his hand from my shoulder. "We need to talk, shithead." I growl as I drag him past everyone and out the door.
Yay! We're gettin' somewhere! Next chapter to be up at the end of this week!
