23/4/15 – Two days. Sasuke doesn't know I'm coming. Should I tell him? Eh, later…
Spent day at home. I got mail. It's my pay! Yay! PAY! I finally got that new bra, next cup size. And the strange feeling I feel awkward even telling a DIARY that. And Diary's are INANIMITE OBJECTS DAMNIT!
Anyway, bored to hell. Almost to tears, but not quite that far yet. Maybe I'll call Naruto. I don't feel like being dragged to lunch or something with Gaara.

5:45
Ok, Naruto wasn't there. Sasuke WAS though; apparently Naruto is on his own too. He lives in a flat by himself too. It's a nice flat; it's just a bedroom, kitchen, bathroom and living room. It's messy but not dirty, if you get my meaning.
"Er… Sasuke?" I ask.
"Um, yeah, I'm here to do an- er, assignment." He said quickly.
"Nice try Sasuke, its Sora."
"Ohh… thank god, I was wondering who in the world would call Naruto besides me and the Telstra Telecom guys."
"Nice, I'll tell him that," I say dryly. "Now IS Naruto there?" I ask.
"No, he's out, I'm waiting for him."
"Oh, ok. Can I meet you guys there?"
"No." he said sharply.
"Err… okay then, you guys enjoy some 'alone time'."
"NO!" he said more sharply. "I mean, um, yes. Yes, that's it."
"Err… ok, I'm going now…" Then I hung up. O-Kay… not going to ask… So, in the end, I went to Gaara's anyway.
I knocked on the door. "Hello!? GAARA! GET OUT HERE I'M BORED!" I yell next to his window, I've discovered he likes sleeping in almost as much as me.
I hear somebody jump and a loud thud. He had rolled out of bed. "SORANO GO AWAY! I'M SLEEPING!" he yelled back angrily.
"NOT ANYMORE BUCKO!" I yell again. "WAKEY, WAKEY!"
I hear him swear loudly and call me mean names. I'm not going to repeat them, I shrug. "Come on Gaara, the lake is calling! It's AUTOMN! BE HAPPY!"
"NO!"
"Fine Mr. Grumpy pants. You have made me go this far, so be warned."
I walk over to Kankuro's room, I know this window is easy to break into, Gaara had said Temari and Kankuro would be away today, so it should be safe, I get a bobby pin out of my hair and slide it in-between the window and then brick wall. I know this room has no fly-screen. I have had to break into this house to rescue random cat's at some stages in life, so I'm not new at this.
I lever the window open, and once it's big enough to slip my hand under I heave it aside. Climbing in the window I step onto the carpet of Kankuro's room, the puppet stares at me evilly. I go to leave by my shoe catches on the curtain and I see it tumble down, I leap to catch it quietly, holding the rail just above the ground.
Crap, it broke. Oh crap… umm. Umm… JUST PRETEND IT NEVER HAPPENED! I put it back in place and run. Approaching Gaara's room I kneel down in front of his bed. I sit and smile at him creepily until he opens his eyes.
"Tell me I'm beautiful." I say sweetly.
He looks at me for a while sleepily, before it registers. "AAHH! SHIT! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!? HOW DID YOU GET IN THE HOUSE?!"
I have to lie down because I'm laughing so hard. He glares insanely at me, and I just keep laughing. "I TOLD you I'd find a way to get you up!"
"No you didn't!" I don't reply to this, but just keep laughing. He glares at me before sighing and going to put on a shirt.
I wipe me eyes. "Hey, it's a pretty warm day today and you haven't been to the lake before have you?" He shakes his head, opening the cupboard. "Well I was thinking I could show you the wonders of the Lake's Swing before it freezes over and gets too cold."
He pulls on a shirt and shrugs. "Fine."
I smile. "YAY!"
We head down to the lake; it's a nice place, a whole circular bed of deep water surrounded by tree's. There is a dock for fishing, but there aren't many fish in the Lake so it's used just for swimming by the few children who live on the lane. Some time ago some kids built a rope swing, it's just a long line of rope hanging from a tree branch with a piece of wood on the end, and you hand on to the wood and swing off the Fisher's Dock.
"Ok my love, here is how it works." I already had my swimmers on underneath, so I take off my shorts and shirt and hold on the swing, I run and swing off the dock, tucking my legs up and bombing into the cold water. "FUCK THAT'S COLD!" I scream when I'm in. Gaara hesitates. I quickly add. "I mean, it's wonderful, HOP IN!"
He sighs and does the same. Emerging he says the same thing as me. "HOLY SHIT THAT'S COLD!"
I tread water. "I know." I say happily.
We spend a long time just swimming and splashing water at each other, doing handstands under the water, and grabbing each other's ankles and pulling them under water when there not looking.
Eventually I feel something on my ankle. I whip around and laugh. "HA! Not this time bucko!"
"What?" he asks.
"You touched my foot."
"No I didn't…" we look at one-another, I see him go pale and I have the strangest feeling I'm doing the same.
"AAAAAHHHHH!" We run for the shore and collapse on it, lying on our towels and holding each other looking scared.
"Eels…" I squeak, letting go off him and curling up into a ball. "I hate them…"
He laughs, and so we just sat there on the sand bank feeling cold and violated by eels and talked. He knows me birthday is in two days, but refuses to tell me his. I'll ask Temari later.
"Come on! You have to be scared of something!" I persist.
He shrugs. "I don't know, and even if I did why would I tell you?"
"Coz I'm your friend and you love me?"
He laughs. "Yes, also, if you don't hesitate to break into my house I wouldn't put it past you to plant whatever I'm scared of under my bed."
I shrug. "Maybe. But if I were you I'd say I was scared of that diamond necklace I saw in town the other day."
"Yeah, and I'd obviously fall for that."
I grin. "That's the plan."
Afterwards we walk back, and we end up gossiping about people in our year. "What about Sasuke?" Gaara asks.
I shrug, wanting to get off THAT scandalous topic. "Dunno, he has everything going for doesn't he?"
"Maybe, it depends." Gaara says.
I look at him. "Hm?"
"Well, he's lucky in our eyes, but if I were him I wouldn't count myself lucky."
"What, being adored by every girl in school?"
"Well, do you adore him?"
"No, well, not in that way." We reach the point where we go separate ways. We stop.
"Well then," Gaara smirks. "I wouldn't count myself lucky if I were him."
"Ok, g'bye." I say without thinking. Then half way down my driveway I stop. Wait… what did he say? I'm such an idiot.
Oh well. Not going to bother myself with it. More important problems, like Shikamaru. I need to track him down somehow, problem is I don't know where he lives. Or even his phone number. Maybe I can ask Sasuke.
No news from Sakura lately, I'm worried by the silence in her department. I hope she isn't dead.
