"Ugh…I don't feel like it!" There was no way Chouji and Kiba were going to put me up to this. NOOOO way. "I'm not going. Even if you tell whoever it is I'll go, that girl is going to be very disappointed that a very lazy boy did not show up for this date you're planning." Chouji didn't get why all of the girls didn't like me…I swear, sometimes I think he's gay. I don't have anything against gay people, it's just that he's always liked Ino, and that'd be weird if it changed all of a sudden…especially to me. That's just…creepy to think about.
When Chouji began to stand up on top of the grey bricks beneath his feet, his stomach shook a little and he laughed. He reminded me of Santa. Speaking of Santa, Christmas is right around the corner…about two months away. I know you're probably like "That is a long way away!" Trust me. It isn't. Christmas comes around fast when you aren't thinking about it. Wow this is way off subject.
"Shikamaru! C'mon! Have some fun in life. Just go and we'll save you if you don't like her." Kiba…what are we going to do with you? I never really understood how Kiba was so optimistic. He hasn't gone out with anyone in awhile either…
"How are you planning on 'saving me' if I end up not liking my date?" I asked. "Are you going to pretend to need my help milking a cow or something?"
"I was thinking about pretending to be your boyfriend that you were cheating on, but I guess…" Kiba…he's just weird. I'm straight. I know I don't look like I like anyone, but I like girls…a certain one with beautiful blonde hair in particular.
"Would it help if I told you who we're planning this blind date for you to be with?" Kiba said. Obviously! It wouldn't be much of a blind date if I knew, but I can act like I had no clue.
"Ye—" I began to say.
"NO!" Wow. The way Chouji yelled that made me think he was going to kill Kiba for even suggesting it. "We aren't telling him who it is. He's just going to have to go. If he doesn't he'll never know who the lucky girl is." Chouji just HAD to throw the lucky in there didn't he? I guess I should take it as a compliment, but I still have a problem that it's a boy the words were coming from.
"Just tell me and I promise I'll go." I just really wanted to know. There was no way it could be the girl I'm thinking of, but maybe this girl would help me get her out of my mind.
"We aren't telling you who it is, Shikamaru." Chouji sure was determined wasn't he? Oh well…I guess I'll just have to wonder. I still have the night to think about it. It is getting pretty dark. We should be heading home soon from the rooftop. I do love nights like this though. Everything is so peaceful and calm. There is barely, but a slight breeze with a few clouds in the sky to where you can still see the stars.
I began walking back, when Chouji and Kiba asked where I was going, I simply told them I was going to my apartment because I was tired. A nine-teen year old needed sleep right? I guess they couldn't care less because no one said anything but "goodnight". Maybe if I just sit here and wait behind the side of the stairs, they'll talk about who it is that the date is with…Nah. They wouldn't be that stupid. I can only hope that the girl is who I'm thinking of, but the hope is leaving fast. I know she would walk this far to be with me. She's probably off fighting some people for stealing her bracelet. Ha. Only she would take it that far. I almost shit myself when I fought her in the Chunin Exams. No idea what made me think of that. It was when I was twelve. Seven years ago. Man that chic is scary…but, in a way, she's nice. Sitting with me while my best friend was in a life or death situation; fighting for his life in the hospital room. I always catch myself thinking about her. She's beautiful. Dirty blonde hair, perfect teal eyes—aww what am I going on about? Guys shouldn't be like this. They should just want to make out with a girl and move on with life. But, she's different. She changed me.
Besides, it isn't like she's coming back. Maybe she's dead. Maybe she's married. Maybe she has kids and is living a perfect life. I should give on the thought of being with her—wait a minute…no way. There is NO way. Did Chouji just say Temari? Doubt it. I'm getting so worked up over nothing. He probably ate Kiba's last piece of dinner and said "Sorry" or something…Both two different things. One gives me a date with Temari, and the other, gives me nothing.
