Chapter three

.[Ino].

The cars rushed part me making mt hair blow in the wind the left behind. Did she really like the same guy I liked? We never really agreed on anything before...we never actually LIKED the same thing either...why did she decide to now? Yes, I ditched the ride with Sakura...I couldn't look at her right now. Best friend or not, I didn't want to tell her I liked him to. She might pull a stupid stunt and we wont be friends anymore. Either that or just be really stupid when it came to him. Sigh, why couldn't she just like Naruto? He was funny, he was nice, he was! He, well, he wasn't her type now that I think about it.

I walked up to my drive way and glanced at my window. All I wanted to do right now was go in there, lay down, and think of a way to get over Sasuke. I was so caught up in my thoughts I didn't even happen to notice the unfamiliar car in my drive way. "Ino! Welcome home!" I heard my mom cheer. I waved my hand, "Ya..." and started to mop up the stairs. My mom seemed to be in the living room, laughing and talking to someone. Who it was, hell, I didn't know and didn't actually care to look all I knew was it was a man. "Ino, come here. I want you to say hi to someone!" my mom had this really annoying happiness to her voice.

Made me want to barf. If I wasn't having a good day then no one else in this house should. I quickened my pace and finally reached my room. I thew my stuff on the floor and tossed my body on my bed. I hit play on my radio. Great just what I needed, a slow song. Whatever...I didn't have the strength to change it...but then again, she only liked the same guy I liked, why was I making a big deal about it? Face down on my bed I thought, maybe it was because...since she told me she liked him, being her best friend, I'd have to back off. But doing that meant getting over him. I know, hes just a stupid guy and always pick your friends over guys.

But, ever since that incident in my cooking class...he dotted my mind.

.[Tenten].

Okay it was after school and, me out of all people were stuck in the bathroom with, Hinata. She was telling me her whole life story. How nobody ever really appreciated her and then there came this 'I'm sorry Tenten. I never really appreciated you' speech. I was crouched down in front of her handing her more and more tissue every five minutes. "Hinata, get to point. What happen?" she looked up at me blowing her nose. "Oh...I haven't told you yet?" I shook my head. "Oh...I found out that Naruto liked Hinata and well...I really thought he liked me...so today I confessed to him in a note but he let me down..."

I wenched, wow, someone liked that jokester. Odd. Never thought anyone really would. "I'm sorry Hinata...I didn't know." she shook her head, "Nhm, you couldn't have...I kinda told him while going to class...but I skipped it and..." she put head head down in her lap and started to cry more, "Oh god! I ditched a class!" I blinked a few times then patted her back, "Its okay....just say you were at the nurse or something...it always works." Hinata looked up at me with half hope and the other half hell...she looked at me like I was crazy. "Think it will work...?" I nodded with a sweat-drop.

She smiled, "Thank you Tenten. For being here for me...I really have no friends." It was true...the only person she really hung out with were Kiba and Shino and they were both weird...though everyone thought Kiba liked Hinata I over heard him talking about some girl named Ino. No I wasn't ease dropping I was bringing my guitar to Neji so he could tune it and he I kinda over heard...if that what you can call standing there for 5 minutes before entering. Oh well. There was a knock on the bathroom door and someone walked inside.

"Tenten, you in here?" I popped my head out of the stall and smiled, "Lee, over here." Hinata shoved me out of the stall and slammed the door. JEZZ! If you didn't want me to call Lee over you could of told me! I stood up half annoyed, "Whats up?" "Neji. Hes waiting for you by the flag pool. I guess there all going to eat pizza. Lets go." I smiled, he waited...now maybe I could ask him what the hell he had been doing all this time. I knocked on the stall, "Hinata I'm leaving." "Oh Hinata's here? Kiba's looking for you Hinata. He kind of wanted you to come." I ran out the girls restroom as fast as I could.

Lee could handle Hinata right? I spotted Neji...leanind against the pool. He was so cute, no take that back hot. I slowed my steps then Temari came by and gave him a paper. I eyed her. What the hell? Neji turned to me and smirked, "Tenten...ready?" Remember Tenten, don't blow a fuse...he's with his friends..."....ya."

.[Shikamaru].

I looked around the house, Ino? Who was she? Name sounded very familar....who was she? "Oh dear...something must of happened at school..." her mother seemed worried. Soon after she excused herself from us and ran up stairs. Troublesome...your daughter has a bad day so you go get her. More like pick her up..oh god this is to much. MY mother would of left me to my room but that was my mom, troublesome as ever. There was tons of pictures on the walls, a pink haired girl and a blond. Maybe one of there was Ino. I kept looking around, there was more of the blond hair and the people who lived here.

"Dad," "Hmmmm?" he was sipping tea, "Who's...Ino?" he smiled, "Your fiancé." my face went from confused to wide eyed what the hell are you talking about!? Before I could speak he busted up laughing, "Well son, you see that blond girl in the picture." "Yeah." "Thats Ino. You two used to be close friends when you were younger. you know before we moved out of town." I frowned and stared at her hard, she wasn't ringing a bell. And whats with this fiancé thing? Well what ever it was, dad busted up laughing so he was kidding. Annoying. "Didn't she used to have short hair?" For some reason I pictured a girl with short blond hair...no face but short blond hair.

He nodded, "I think when she was younger." "Mooooom! I'm not in the mood to meet anyone! And what the hell are you talking about? Fiancé?" I heard this 'Ino' and her mother talking while walking down the stairs, her mother seemed to be getting a kick out of her daughters flipping out about the fiancé thing. I frowned, why had she told her that to? As they entered the room my eyes fell to the floor. I didn't look up. "Shikamaru, this is Ino, Ino this is-" "Ara! He was that boy I used to hang out with right? The one I'm in that picture with. Were on the swing set...the hm...the bum!"

my eyes shot up at her. Oh my god, no god please no. My tormentor when I was little, the girl who bossed me around and left bruises on my cheeks from pinching them. "This is bull shit..." i mumbled while staring at her.
