Chapter 9
The two lovely little wooden figures danced around the miniature ballet studio, an angelic blonde girl, and a broad shouldered, yet sweet-looking, brown haired boy. A closer look at the toy show the magnificent detail painted onto their faces, pure joy. They twirled in pleasant little circles as the music played quietly, the tune mesmerizing. The girl wore a light blue sparkley tutu, the boy in a uniform black tuxedo.
Ino couldn't help but imagine her and Choji dancing without a care, in that beautiful small wooden world. Her face was pressed against the glass of the toy store, that one little object had caught her eye as she walked to Sakura's. She shivered from the cold, pulling her coat tighter around her small frame, as she gazed at the little ballet studio.
"Are you a ballerina?" A deep baritone voice questioned, making her jump.
"Oh, no."
"Have you ever danced before?" The voice asked.
Ino turned to see a tall pale man, standing with the door to the store open. He ran his hands through his brunette locks before motioning for her to come in.
As the blonde took a step inside, her senses were instantly flooded, with scents of chocolate, vanilla, and wood, and warm cozy air.
Ino stripped off her unecessary coat, dropped her backpack by it, and followed the man to the back of the store, where a checkout counter was.
"Have you danced before?" The man repeated,
"Not like that." She answered quietly.
"My name is Harold."
"I'm Ino." Said girl smiled and took Harold's open hand, returning the handshake.
"It's fun."
"It looks amazing."
"There's a ballet class I go to. You should try it." Harold went to the back room of his store and came back a moment later with a piece of paper. He handed her the brochure.
"We meet on Wednesday and Sunday nights. Then we perform at a big concert in December."
"Wait it goes all year?"
"Mhmm, the first rehearsal was January fifth. You've only missed a couple, and people are always joining throughout January, February, and March."
"I wonder if I could get Choji to come too." Ino mumbled to herself.
"Boyfriend?"
"Almost." She smiled.
"I'm sure you could persuade him too." Harold smiled and pat her shoulder. "Everything you need to know is on that brochure. Maybe I'll see you there?" He smiled.
"Maybe. Oh! How much is that ballet studio toy?"
~.~
Ino walked out of the store with the little toy in her hands. She held it protectively in her arms as she walked the rest of the way to Sakura's. She had gotten bored and just decided to leave, but it had only been ten, and she knew Sakura would still be sleeping, so she decided to take her time and walk.
The blonde inhaled and sighed loudly, watching a puff of condensation exit her mouth. She felt strangely tired. Ino walked over to a bench on the side of the road and pulled out her phone, continuing to text Choji.
'hey, wuts up?'
'laying in bed. ): hbu?'
'): i just left a toy store, lol. now i'm sitting on a bench.'
'a toy store? lol why?'
'i bought this cute wooden ballet studio thing. wouldn't it be fun to do ballet?'
'send me a picture? (: n idk, it's girly.'
Ino quickly snapped a picture and sent it to Choji, then texted back.
'it's just stereotyped to be girly! i think it looks fun!'
'idk. why, do you want to do ballet?'
'i want you to do it with me(:'
'uhhhh. idk. my friends would make fun of me.'
'pleasee! it'd be fun, and they wouldn't have to know! '
'gah. when is it?'
'sundays and wednesdays !'
'uhh... do you have to pay for it?'
'oh! i forgot to ask. i'll go ask harold, brb.'
'ok, who's harold?'
-Ten Minutes Later-
'harold is the shopkeeper who sold me the toy. he's in ballet too.'
'oh, ok, did you find out how much?'
'there's a registration fee of $15, (for proper dance shoes) and for all the classes, (it goes all year) it's $200. but u also have to pay for the costume when December comes around, cause there's a big show. the costume ranges from 50-125 normally. so, $265- $340 ish'
'oh, idk. that's kind of expensive.'
'pleasee?'
'fine. i guess i'll try.'
'you're allowed to come to one or two rehearsals first and see if you like it before you pay.'
'idk if i'll be better by tomorrow, so we should go together on wednesday?'
'okay! thank you so much choji! -hearts-'
'lol, no problem. as long as my friend's don't find out. XD'
'ok, your secret's safe with me! ;D'
'you're cute.(:'
'so are u choji :D'
'i really like you..'
'i really like you too.'
'really?'
'really.(:'
'the last four texts all had really in them..'
'make that the last five. XD'
'will you be my girlfriend?'
Ino's eyes grew wide and she grinned. With her cheeks red, she typed out her three-letter response.
'yes!'
':D yay! i was planning on doing that in person today, but i kinda can't. and i didn't wanna wait any longer.'
'aww! don't worry, it's fine! i'm glad u asked me! i rly wanted to be ur girlfriend!'
'(: yayyyyy! so, still sitting on a bench?'
'yes, and some fat chick just walked by and when she saw me looking at her she yelled 'i'm having triplets okay!' i was so embarrassed. people looked.'
'wow, what a weird lady.'
'i know! i wasn't even staring that much, just a little!'
'brb..'
Ino frowned, then pulled her coat tighter around her, was it getting colder? She glanced at her phone, then realized it was 11:30. She decided to text Sakura to see if she was awake. A couple minutes and a 'yes' later, the blonde stood up and started to walk to her friend's house.
S: 'so wuts up inopig?'
I: 'not much, just texting choji and walking to ur house. man its cold.'
'y r u walking weirdo?'
'i got bored this morning and figured u wouldn't be up yet, so i just walked.'

Dear Diary,
This SUCKS. Choji is right, the stomach flu is AWFUL. How
do i know? I got it too. Grr. Here, i'll start from the
beginning.
Sakura picked me up from the gas station and we drove to
her house, everything was fine. We got there about noon
and we were hungry, so we made sandwiches and got
chips and pop and stuff. We hung out in Kiara's room for a
little, but then Kakashi called and asked Sakura to come
over. It was obvious she wanted to, but she explained our
girl's night and said they'd hang out right after school on
Monday. It reminded me that Choji asked me out, so I told
her and we squealed about that for a while.
Eventually we got bored and we called Alisa to see if she
was ready. It was like 2. She said her mom's boyfriend
had an investment on something good and he came into
a lot of money, like, A LOT. She said her mom sent them
$10,000 dollars! Alisa put 8,000 in the bank. Then she
gave herself and Kaylie each 200 for fun money, and took
the rest to the store. She bought groceries and all this stuff,
they had 1,100 left. Then they went clothes shopping, and
had 700 left. They went to a thrift store. Smart idea! I
should go there more! They she bought MAKE UP! And
accessories and stuff. She put the 630 they had left in
the bank. Jeez, I like her mom's boyfriend!
Well, after she finished shopping she came over, at
like 3. We played video games for like an hour, then
got bored so we gossiped. Sakura was giving us all these
details about Kakashi, it was very. umm. graphic,
apparently he's good with his tongue.. Lol, anyways,
At like 5 Kiara got picked up by this girl Carly and her
mom and they went and got Kaylie to have their own
little sleepover.
Idk why, but i'm going to tell you what Sakura and Alisa
were wearing.
Sakura: yellow long sleeve with a low cut and a sparkley
red shirt underneath, black skinny jeans that were long
and bunched up at the ankles, with red designs on the
pockets,
Alisa: a thin, long, purple long sleeve, with a hood, and
drawstrings. it was like a hoodie, but it was made out of
t-shirt material, tight blue bootcut jeans, just a medium
blue,
We crimped our hair then headed to the mall, with Alisa's
fun money. (; we ate at the food court. We met a couple
guys but we couldn't really flirt with them, cause of our
boyfriends. Well, Alisa could, but that would be weird.
We saw this girl from school, Hinata, and talked to her
for a little. Turns out she's cousins with Neji. No wonder
they looked so similar. She was normally so shy, but
once you got to know her she was better, didn't stutter
as much. I bet if we got to be good friends with her she'd
be pretty talkative, lol. I felt bad for her, cause she was
just walking around all alone, so since she was cool we
asked her to hang with us.
We got massages from these guys who looked pretty gay,
either that or they were French, we couldn't tell. They look
like, late twenties maybe? We were all having a really good
time when the we heard an announcement that was mall
was closing. We were like, woah, it's already 9? We asked
Hinata if she wanted to come to our sleepover, but she said
she was busy the next morning. We exchanged numbers
and she got into her snow white car and left. She was cool,
we liked her.
On the way back to Sakura's we stopped at Burger King
and got some food. We spent almost all of Alisa's fun money,
I felt bad, but she said it was okay, her mom was dating
a rich guy, and she could always get more.
When we got back to Sakura's i started to feel a little queasy.
Sakura said maybe i ate to fast, so I went to the bathroom
and sat there for a while. I ended up throwing up, but I was
fine the rest of that night. I was really tired so I fell asleep
at like 10:45.
When i woke up the next day i felt and looked horrible. I
started throwing up and when Sakura took me home i had
to keep a bucket in the car with me. I got home and my mom
asked if I had been kissing Choji, cause i had told her he had
the stomach flu, and she said I had it. i said yes and she
laughed, but told me to go upstairs and rest. She said she'd
bring me some lukewarm water and prepare a bath for me in
a little bit. So I laid down and texted Choji. I asked him how
he was doing, he said much better and he could actually eat
kinda. He said he was throwing up less frequently, and should
be back in school by Tuesday. So I told him I had the stomach
flu. He told me to sleep as much as i could and drink fluids.
I thanked him for the advice and told him I didn't have the energy
to text. then i fell asleep. I just woke up not too long ago. I drank
some water and ate a couple crackers.
I think i'm going to go back to sleep. Bye Diary!
P.S. Choji never told me about the diarrhea... Gross.

Dear Diary,
I'm happy. I didn't have the stomach flu that bad,
I ended up staying up most of the night puking, but by about 7
AM I was exhausted and i could finally sleep. My night of torture
was over. Idk how Choji could've done that a couple nights in a
row. I felt a lot better and I could keep solid food that weren't too
harsh down. My mom gave me some more crackers, and when i
didn't puke after an hour, she made me a peanut butter sandwich
with some milk. I realized how hungry i was, so i kept munching
on crackers. A couple hours later, at like 5 I puked again, it was
disgusting, but whatever. Now it's almost 9 and I haven't puked.
I'm so happy! (:
I texted Choji all day, he's perfectly fine and going to school
tomorrow. Lucky him. I'm probably going to school by Wednesday
though. I hope so, I wanna go to this ballet thing.
Oh, about that, I talked to my mom earlier today, she said we're
financially able and she supports it. She said if I'm better I can go
on Wednesday, then if I like it I can do it.(: I just hope Choji can
too, I want to do it with someone I know. I'm considering asking
Alisa and Sakura, but I kinda want this to be something I can do
with Choji. Something I always have to look forward to, I mean,
I hang out with them constantly, but with this I can make sure I
have me and Choji time. So, I don't think I'll ask them. Unless
Choji decides not to do it. Lol.
Well, I'm REALLY tired still, so I'm going to go to bed.
I love you diary!

Dear Diary,
Today Was great, no signs of the stomach flu! Hasta La Vista
Baby! Haha! I slept in until like 2 though, but that's good, cause
by the time i woke up i didn't have to wait that long till i could text
Choji. He told me about how Alisa sat with them at lunch, and it
felt normal. He said he was happy they were all such good friends
now. He told me not to tell anyone, but he was talking to Neji and
he said he kinda had a crush on her. At lunch he asked her to hang
out after school. I hope they go out soon!
Choji also informed me of the relationship statuses of his friends.
Neji, Shikamaru, Kiba, Rock Lee, and Shino, are single. Sai's still
dating Gaara, and Naruto is still dating Sasuke, who i am
completely over now.
He told his friends about us, and they were all supportive, they
congratulated him and stuff. We've been dating for like, 3 days.
1-22-11, that's our special date. (: It's pretty easy to remember,
so i'm not going to forget. Yay!
He's so sweet, he got his make up work, and mine fore me. He
brought it to my house. We sat in my living room for a little and
he explained the stuff I didn't understand. For the classes that we
have the same, we did our Monday make up work together. Then
after a while he left. He kissed me on the forehead, just in case,
then promised to text me. GAH! Soo cute! :D
Well, I'm gunna go do the rest of my homework and stuff so I'm
caught up by tomorrow. Plus, my mom's starting dinner.
Well, bye diary! (:
