Maybe Not the Worse Day

By: Sheltie

I don't own Naruto at all

A/N: okay, so with this one I started it some time ago and then left it since I couldn't go on any more. I came back to it and wrote the rest of it as well as modified it for Valentine's Day.

"This is very un-cool" Samui commented.

"Geez, you're such as buzzkill sometimes Samui. Lighten up, this is supposed to be a fun time" Karui said.

"And how is this fun?" Samui asked.

"Don't know, just is" Karui said with a shrug.

Samui sighed. She was still wondering how in the world her best friend talked her into this singles party on Valentine's Day of all days. Samui usually avoided things like these single mixers on a daily basis. Just wasn't her thing. Now it being Valentine's Day, it seemed ten times worse really. She felt eyes leering at her. Sure, she had an amazing body with breasts that made guys drool. But to Samui they were a pain she's had to deal with since she began developing. Back pain was not sexy at all, and anyone telling you differently are lying.

"How long are we to stay here?" the cool blond asked.

"Don't know" Karui answered as her eyes traveled along, eyeing all the available guys.

"Go ahead, go. I'll be fine" Samui said as she saw her friend looking.

"You sure?" Karui asked hesitant to leave her friend alone.

"I'll be fine" Samui said.

"Well if you say so" Karui said as she headed off.

Samui saw she was making her way to a boy who had some heft to his being, but seemed nice. She wished her friend luck. She herself headed to the nearest table so she could sit. She was on her feet a lot at her job and this didn't help. Once sitting down she just watched everything else going on.

"Got dragged here too?"

Samui turned her head to see a guy about her age with spikey blond hair, bright blue eyes and whisker markings on his cheeks. He had an easy smile.

"I did" Samui answered not in the mood for conversation.

The blond guy nodded as he sipped his drink. Not seeming to mind how cool Samui was to him. He rested his arm on the table as he looked out at the crowd. Samui ignored it. She wasn't going to be drawn into a conversation, she wasn't going to be flirted with. She was going to spent a bit more time then head home. That was what she was going to do. So why did she turn her head to the blond guy?

"What about you?" she asked.

"Hm" the blond guy responded.

"Why are you here?" Samui asked.

"Oh. I was dragged here by some friends. They thought I spent enough time moping about my ex and I needed to get back in the game" the blond guy said.

"You got dumped" Samui said.

"Yeah. I found out last Valentines actually" the blond guy said.

"Ouch" Samui commented.

"Yeah, not great" the blond guy said with a sigh.

"What did she do, cheat?" Samui asked.

"No. Just sent me this note" the blond guy said as he pulled out a card from his pocket.

Samui leaned over and read it.

Not working out. Breaking up with u. sorry

Samui thought that was stone cold to do. Not even having the guts to tell them in person, but in a text. But that left another question.

"Why'd you keep this?" she asked.

The blond guy rubbed the back of his head.

"For some reason I can't toss it. Maybe I'm insane or something. This kind of the last time we talked, you know" he said showing great vulnerability.

Samui was kind of impressed hearing this. She didn't think a guy would admit this, unless it was some kind of pick-up line. But this was quite earnest.

"So you've been single for a year?" she asked.

"Yeah. couldn't bring myself to try dating really" the blond guy said. "By the way name's Naruto. What's yours?"

"Name is Samui" Samui said.

"Nice to meet you Samui" Naruto said with a smile, "say, wanna get out of here and grab a burger?"

"Yes that'd be great" Samui said thinking this was the best idea ever.

The two left.

/Scene Break/

At a diner that wasn't too far away the two grabbed a booth and ordered.

"So what do you do Samui?" Naruto asked.

"I work as a personal shopper" Samui said.

"Really" Naruto said.

"Yeah" Samui said. "What about you?"

"High school gym teacher" Naruto said.

"So you have to deal with all those hormonal boys and girls" Samui said.

"Yeah, and sometimes I have to fill in as the health teacher" Naruto said.

"Oh, that must be a joy" Samui commented with sarcasm.

"It is. Especially when it comes to the topic of sex" Naruto said with a sigh. He ran a hand through his hair making it messy.

Samui's expression said it all on how she felt about that.

Soon their food came and they ate. Even snatching fries from one another's plates. It was childish since they both had fries, but it amused them both. Their conversation continued as this it went each one getting to know the other more and more.

Soon the bill came and Naruto offered to pay and Samui let him. They left diner and headed back to where the mixer was happening. They needed to be there so they could find their cars.

"Say, um, I know this sounds kind of forward, but could I have your number?" Naruto asked.

"Sure" Samui said.

They exchanged numbers then parted ways.

It wasn't til later when Samui walking to her car when she realized that Naruto didn't look down at her chest once during their conversation.

"He's kind of cool" she said with a small smile as she entertained thoughts of calling Naruto possibly tomorrow.
