Chapter 3
*****BBQ*****
As we sat there at the booth getting ready to order, my eyes couldn't help but wander across the table to where Ino was….. 'SHIT this is so AWKWARD! I can't BELIEVE that Choji would do this to me! I wanted to talk to him ABOUT Ino but I can't do that cuz she's right HERE! UGH what do I do?!' I was wrestling with my thoughts, TRYING to not pull all of my hair out, when I saw Ino look up from her menu. Her eyes met with mine for a quick moment, but as soon as she saw me look at her, she shifted her attention back to her order. 'Was….she looking at me?' I wondered. Then I shook my head. 'Nah, she probably saw someone she knew or something.…It's too quiet!' The last thing I wanted to do was think about the situation while she was here…..'I gotta break this silence it's driving me nuts!'
"What are you guys ordering?" I ask, trying to compose myself.
"Hmm…..I think I will get a half order of beef," Ino responded.
"I want five orders of pork, five orders of beef, one order of chicken, and a half order of vegetables," Choji said.
I looked at him in awe. 'WHAT THE FUCK CHOJI?! YOU GET US CAUGHT UP IN THIS AWKWARD ASS SITUATION AND THEN SPEND ALL MY MONEY?! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU TODAY?!'
As I was weeping internally about the cost of this little "outing" Choji nudged me to get my attention.
"Calm down already man," he said.
"Choji, you are being the WORST best friend in history right now!" I said as I glared at him.
"You wanted to know who Ino likes, right?" Choji whispered to me.
"Yea, I do but why the FUCK would you tell her to come with us?!" I snapped back at him.
He gave me a thumbs-up and said simply "Don't worry I got this!"
Ino looked up at us with what had seemed like…curiosity?! Hell I don't fucking know! "You guys are acting weird…is something wrong?" She asked.
'I had a feeling that things were about to go downhill….and fast….I thought about it….what did he mean by…..then it dawned on me! I've got to stop him before…..!'
I opened my mouth to speak but it was too late.
"Hey Ino," Choji said. I looked at him. 'CHOJI….YOU SON OF A BITCH….. YOU BETTER NOT!' I yelled in my mind.
"Do you have someone you love?" he asked her.
'HOLY SHIT HE FUCKING SAID IT?!' It felt like my jaw hit the floor.
"Ch-Ch-Ch-Choji where did that come from?!" she stuttered out.
Choji took this as a good sign and kept pushing Ino to talk. "Well you know I heard Sakura talking about it with Tenten yesterday, so I was just curious…"he said.
My eyes widened. 'That liar! I feel like I'm gonna have a heart attack!'
"….Damn Sakura…." I thought I heard Ino mumble. "…..Stupid forehead…."
"So," Choji continued. "Is it true?" That was it…the fourth and final blow….the shock was overwhelming my mind…nothing made sense anymore.
This must be it...it's the end for me…..I can feel my soul leaving my body….Grandma….is that you? Don't worry your grandson Shika is coming to see you'
I saw Ino's eyes widen and her face started to turn red. She shifted her eyes back in forth between us then looked down and started fidgeting with her hands.
"Y-Yea….." she said. "Is it Sasuke?" Choji asked with a smile. 'Stop prying Choji!' I mentally begged him.
"No…it isn't Sasuke," Ino said. "Not anymore."
I looked at her in surprise.
'It really ISN'T SASUKE?! WHO IS IT THEN?! Wait…why am I getting worked up about this?! I'm not sure I'm ready to find out who it is yet! Not here…..not like this! I wanna know though! No I don't….Yes I do! UGH'
"So….who is it Ino? Choji said.
"Why do you even c-c-care?!" She responded. She looked at me and back at him and I saw Choji's smile grow wider.
'What is with him?!' I thought as I looked over at Ino…she was totally flustered.
'I've never seen her like this before….' I thought. 'It's kind of…cute….wait…..WHAT?! WHAT AM I THINKING ABOUT?!'
I was having a mental breakdown. 'I gotta do something quick!'
