Chapter 3- Ino's advice
(Sorry if this one's a bit of a short read.)
Bbrrrrrrrrr…
Bbrrrrrrrrr…
"Hello?"
"Hi Ino."
"Sakura! How's life in jail!? Make friends with any cellmates?"
"You're sarcasm is noted." I sighed.
"What's got you? Typically you'll call saying these sorts of things yourself!" Ino asked, sounding concerned.
"I need some advice, girl advice, because you're better on this subject than me."
"Oh, no! Did children start pointing at your forehead! I thought you were over that!"
"It's not that!" (Though I did catch a kid staring at it one time.)
"Then what?" Ino asked.
I finally took a deep breath, and started explaining to her what's been happening over the past couple days with Sasuke. By the time I finished, she was squealing like a pig, trying to hold it back.
"You can bust now, Ino. I have the phone on the floor." I called from the safety of my bed.
She shrieked so loud I think it startled the kids in the dorm below me. When the squeals finally simmered down, I picked up the phone.
"Ino?" I asked.
"Sakura's got herself a crush." Ino sang.
"I just said he was hot is all!" I retorted.
"You also said that he was really nice if you dug deep enough, that you turned red when you thought he said he was getting a crush on you, and the fact that you think he's good-looking means all the more!" Ino ranted.
"So why can you repeat my words and yet you can barely say the alphabet in school?"
"Because this is important!!"
Typical Ino.
I sighed before continuing. "Okay, okay. I like him. Do you want to help me or not?"
"Just tell me what you want to know, and I'll try my best!" Ino said a little too enthusiastically.
"Well…he says he likes me as a friend because I understand him, but I want to know what it may take to push that up a level or two."
"Make-over!!" Ino screeched into the phone.
"Why?" I asked.
"Because everyone knows a good way to a man heart is through your looks! Make him think you are one fine girl! Put on some make-up, get into something sexy, make him lay his eyes on you and never want to take them off! WOW him!"
"I don't know. What if he doesn't like it?"
"Then he probably has bad taste!! Now I demand that you go raid your clothes, find some make-up, put on some high heels, and make yourself so irresistible that every guy on that island is going to crawl after you with Sasuke at the front!!"
"I'll try."
"Oh! But first things first! You never told me what he looks like! I want details, girl!"
"Here, I'll send you a picture."
"You took a picture of him?!"
"We were at the beach, the sun was setting, and he had this too perfect light around him! I had to!!"
I stopped talking for a second to scroll through my pictures on my cell phone, find his, send it, and waited.
I heard Ino's silence as she received the picture, then a gasp.
"Sakura, he is H-O-T, hot!! If he doesn't like you, can I volunteer there and give him a try!?"
"Good bye, Ino." I said, and with that I hung up before she could say any more.
She's probably going to kill me for doing so, but if all works out she can beat me as much as she wants, so long as I get my man.
Yes, like I said, it was a short read. Hope you liked it either way! See what Sakura does, and what unfolds! Time to start drawing!!
