Falling For You
"Who's the chick sitting with Shikamaru?"
Four pairs of eyes darted over to look. Sitting in the corner booth of the diner was Shikamaru and a girl no one recognized. And in small town that was impressive. She was pretty thing with long violet hair and pale ivory skin. Her head sat tilted slightly to the side listening to Shikamaru.
"I thought he was dating Temari," said Izumo.
"Really? I could have sworn he and Ino had a thing going on," Kotetsu responded.
Kiba shushed them all. "Who cares? I just want to know the chick's name."
The door opened and Naruto breezed in. "Hey guys, what are you-"
The entire tabled shushed him. Kiba quickly pulled him into a chair as they went back to studying the mystery girl.
"What's going on?" Naruto whispered confused.
"There's some new chick sitting with Shikamaru," Choji informed him.
"So who is she?" Naruto asked, craning his neck around a waitress to see what the fuss was about.
"Idiot," Kiba hissed, "that's what we're trying to figure out."
Naruto sent him a glare but Kiba wasn't paying attention. Then a girlish giggle rang out. Naruto rocked unto the chair's back legs to get a better look.
The mystery girl was laughing at something while Shikamaru groaned, face buried in his palms. The girl was…. beautiful.
"Huh," Naruto said dumbstruck just before his chair legs slipped and sent him crashing to the floor.
"Idiot," Kiba muttered when everyone in the diner turned to stare.
