Chapter 2 : Screaming
Ino looked at Choji, eating chips at the speed of light, as usual. Ino snorted with disgust. "Geez, Choji, you and chips are like girls and purses."
"I dun't shee a pob'em wif 'at," Choji said.
Ino rolled her eyes. "Okay, whatever."
Shikamaru didn't say anything. Of course, he couldn't... he was sleeping on the bench, which wasn't giving Ino much room to sit there. She sighed.
Quickly, though, her eyes lit up, because Sasuke was walking down the path, and he was heading right toward them!
"Saaasukeee-kunnnnn!" Ino yelled, standing up and waving. "How are you today?" she said with exaggerated happiness.
Sasuke frowned and mumbled something, continuing to walk.
"That's good to hear!" Ino said. When she got no reply, she stopped smiling. He was walking away! She had to think of something to keep talking to him...
'Sasuke-kun, listen..." she said, grabbing his arm. "Remember today we got those papers from our sensei? The ones about the dance? Well, I lost mine, and I forgot what day it is! Can I see..."
"Why do you need mine when there are signs everywhere in the village?" Sasuke growled.
Ino blinked. He had read her mind. And how would she make an excuse for that? "Uh, well, I haven't seen any signs... Must be they didn't put them where I can see them!" she giggled.
Sasuke looked at her with narrowed eyes. His gaze went from her to the bench, where Shikamaru lay sleeping. A pole next to the bench was plastered with posters for the dance. Across the path was a rather large sign for it. And not far away was a billboard advertising the dance.
"Right," he said. "Whatever. Here, I'll give you mine. Not like I'll need it." He reached into his bag and felt around for a paper. The first sheet of paper he felt, he pulled it out and absent-mindedly gave it to Ino, without looking to see what was on it.
"Thanks, Sasuke-kun!" Ino said.
Sasuke ignored her and walked down the path. Ino couldn't think of anything else to say to keep him there, so she simply sighed and tried to sit down on the bench, but failed, since Shikamaru was taking up the whole thing now.
"Ugh," Ino said.
"You didn't really lose your paper, did you?" Choji asked.
"Well, of course not, I just wanted the chance to talk to Sasuke-kun..." Then she quickly looked at the paper and gasped.
"Oh my GOD!" she screamed, so loudly that Shikamaru woke up.
"What's goin' on?" he asked.
"Look! LOOK!" Ino screamed, shoving the paper into his face.
"Agh! Ino!" he yelled. "It's a love note! So what? God, you troublesome women, always getting n my nerves..."
"Sasuke-kun gave it to me, you idiot! ME!" Ino was positively beaming with delight. "He says my eyes captivate his soul, and that my smile brightens his day... and he want me to go to the dance with him! ME! With SASUKE-KUN!"
And then she screamed. Loudly. VERY loudly.
So loudly, that Sasuke heard it, and wondered what was with all the screaming kunoichi today.
