Chapter 3:

When Temari and I first got our paycheck, the first thing she said was,

"Damn, not enough for those jeans."

"Jeans?" I asked. I thought that the first thing you would want when you got money was food and stuff like that.

"I saw some cute True Reiligion Jeans." She said casually.

"Oh, I love those!" Ino, who I forgot to say I worked with said as she walked by.

"You too?" I asked.

"Yup! They're cute!" She said and smiled.

'Must be expensive.' I thought. Ino only loved expensive stuff.

"Is she the new girl?" Ino asked. I nodded.

"Hi, I'm Ino." Ino walked over to Temari. They shook hands.

"I'm Temari." She said.

"How about we go shopping later?" Ino asked. "I was planning on going with my friend Sakura." She said.

"I was planning on going with my friends." Temari said.

"Then how about we all go together? Sakura is in this building so I'll go talk to her." Ino said and ran off.

"You know her?" Temari asked.

"Yeah." I said. Not really a friend. She was my friend's girlfriend to be correct.

"Well, since I'm new here it'll be nice to make friends." She said.

"You're alone?" I asked.

"No, I have 2 younger brothers." She said. "They can be a pain in the ass sometimes." She said.

"Hm..." We worked for the rest of the day.

"Are you guys ready?" Ino asked. She had Sakura behind her. Ino was always impatient.

"I'm ready." Temari said getting up. I was about to say bye when Ino added,

"Hurry up Shikamaru!"

'What?' I thought. They never asked me if I wanted to go.

"Come on! I'm bringing Kiba, Sakura is bringing Sasuke! It would be sad if Temari was alone." She said.

I looked at Temari. She didn't seem to mind.

"Well, Hinata and Tenten are bringing Naruto and Neji." She mentioned.

"See? Come on!" I got up and we walked out.

We drove in our own cars to a small cafe. When we got there, 4 people were waiting. I recoginzed them from my high school.

"Hi guys! Hope you don't mind that I brought a few people." She greeted her friends.

"This is Shikamaru, we share an office." She said. Tenten, Hinata, and Naruto smiled. I smiled a little but wasn't very interested.

"This is Sakura and Ino." Temari said pointing to them.

"I called Kiba and she called Sasuke so they should be here soon." Ino said looking at the cars.

When Kiba and Sasuke came, they started looking around.

They entered this shop that sold clothes. Temari was looking around.

Tenten showed her a cowboy hat.

"How about this?" She asked.

"No, those things make me look fat." She said taking the hat from Tenten.

"This again." Neji mumbled. He probably was here because of Tenten.

"This makes you look fat?" I asked looking at the hat she had put back down.

"Well, once I wore one and Kankuro and Gaara, my brothers said I looked fat in them.I didn't wear one after that." She said looking at a brown tank top.

"..." I stared at her. She was definently different. I once thought that I couldn't stand Ino, but Temari was going to be a lot harder to stand.

Once all the girls were satisfied with their shopping, they left.

"Oh yeah," Temari said before getting into her car that was parked next to mine. "Thanks for coming." She said her eyes shining from the setting sun. She got into her car and drove off.

"You're welcome." I said and drove home.
