Chapter Nine
Today is Saturday, a great weekend. A time to spend with your loved ones or simply slack off by sleeping in, or go hardcore in front of the computer. You see Sunday are when you start doing your last-minute homework and probably the second worst day next to Monday. Saturday is everybody favorite day.
Not for me, that is. After all I'm still in a kneeling position in front of my three -hopefully- still my best friends.
I'm still a little sore from last night. But I think I can manage. After the whole incident, the girls finally calm down. No, Hinata wasn't the first, it was Ino. Shocking right?
They think about the bright side.
"They won't be able to find out about Cherry Blossoms identity!" Hinata suggested.
"We can start going to the Hyuuga house and order more fruit tart!" I nodded when I notice Tentens mood began to lighten.
"They get to buy us really expensive jewelry and bring us to fancy restaurants!" Ino squealed.
"Uhmm.." All eyes were turned to me. "I kinda told them that they don't need to.." I rub my head and smiled sheepishly.
Ino eyes twitched slightly and sighed. Before we could continue and discuss about my punishment, the phone rang.
Hinata quickly ran over to the telephone and picked it up. "Hello?"
Her eyes began to darken but her voice remained in tack. "Neji Ni-san."
I began to shake when Ino and Tenten stood up and rushed towards the phone. From the looks of it they were trying to eavesdrop.
"Yes we know very well of the deal." Hinata eyes gazed towards me, her face tells a whole different story.
"Of course we're fine with it. Sakura wouldn't do this if I'm not."
I gulped and put my hands together. Mouthing "I'm sorry!"
Tenten and Ino looked at me and sighed.
"Yes, okay. Good night Neji. See you tonight."
I stood up when Hinata put the phone down. Tenten and Ino looked at each other, worried.
"What did Neji say?" Tenten asked.
"He wants to take us out for dinner." Hinata sighed, heading towards the stairs.
"He said that it's a party. Where all the CEOs and famous people go." Hinata stopped and turned around from the stairs.
Ino put her finger under her chin. "Does this means that first ranks that are from our school, are also going to be at the at the banquet?"
"We don't even have dresses to go!" Tenten puffed her cheeks.
Just then the door bell rang and since I don't want to cause anymore trouble, I opened the door. It was the mail man.I quickly signed my name on it as he gave me four rather large white boxes.
My heart began to beat faster as I walked into the living room.
Ino and Tenten quickly walked over and they both each grabbed a box. We placed them in a row on the floor. I stared at it with confusion. Each box clearly have one of our names written on it.
Hinata grabbed a note that was sticking to her box. She opened the letter and began to read it out loud:
Dear Hinata, Sakura, Tenten and Ino
If you didn't know yet, we're having a ball tonight at seven. We figured that since this is such a late invitation, we all decided to buy a dress for each of you girls. courtesy to the one we're supposed to pretend to go out.
This ball includes many well-known people, including girls from your school. This would be a perfect opportunity for them to know of this relationship. This also include our parents, we hope you'll act in your best behavior. After all, they don't know about this whole 'dating thing.' If you don't do this well and you embarrass any of our family name, the deal is off. That is the easy way out, if you want the hard way, Shikamaru can always hire a professional guy to make you spill the where abouts of Cherry Blossoms identity.
We'll pick you up at six-thirty.
-Neji Hyuuga
Ino squealed and began to jump up and down from her seat. She took her box and hugged it. But she quickly put it back down in front of her, trying to flatten the wrinkles on the box.
"Lets open it together!" I grinned, happy to know that Ino had totally forgotten the reason why she's going to the party.
"1..2..3!" We all opened the box together and my eyes widen.
I smiled and closed the box cover. "Well than girls, shall we go and get ready?"
Hinata closed her box and blushed. Tenten sighed and looked away but there was a hint of blush on her cheeks. While Ino screamed and jumped up hugging her box.
"Lets go! I'm going to do your makeup!"
Sasuke
"It's six o-clock. Should we go and pick the girls up?" Naruto asked, looking at me while I was in front of the mirror.
I rolled my eyes straightening my tuxedo. "Dobe."
"Do you think they'll like the dresses we pick out for them?" Neji asked.
I arched my eyebrow. 'Neji? Nervous?'
"They should like it. We pick them out from looking at their personality." Shikamaru yawned, leaning against the wall.
Just then the knock on the door, Han appeared. "The car is ready when you are."
From the reflection I could see him nod. "You guys ready?"
"Hn."
Just as the limousine began to park in front of the girls house. I noticed that maybe each of us should of bring our own car would've been a better choice as people began to walk out of their own house. Murmuring.
Neji who also seemed to notice, sighed. "Lets go pick the girls up before this could get out of hand."
We all walked out the limousine and since Naruto is ahead, he rang the doorbell.
"In a minute!" The mysterious girls voice sang. For some odd reason my heart began to beat faster, I turned my head to hide my face from the others.
'How come her voice sounds so familiar?'
