I don't own anything but the plot

The life of a pretty liar

October 11, 2011

Okay a few days ago when I was all happy and excited that I was going to finally get a life, well I'm on my way… I think

Anyways, last night yes last night had been my first 'day' of work and I have to admit it went well, I didn't fall asleep I was focusing too much. I really would have rather work some different hour maybe in day light… oh well it's okay I guess I don't like waking up in the morning so that's good, night time will do.

Everyone had been nice and it hadn't been as scary as I thought it would be…I think I will even be able to make friends here, hopefully.

Ino

The night was fresh it was after all the middle of autumn and soon winter will be here, much to my disappointment I'm more of a summer start of fall kind of girl. I had a pair of dark wash skinny jeans and a pink long sleeve Hollister shirt, it was fitting but not overly tight it was a bit of a low cut shirt but did not show any cleavage and to top off my work look I used a pair of pink and coal Canvas Era's. My long platinum hair was in my usual ponytail with my bangs swept to the side.

And here I am on my way to my new job, I wonder what I will have to do it should be something simple after all I have never worked before now. Too bad I have to start out in a late shift maybe that's why it had been so easy for me to 'land' this job no one else wanted it! I had just not informed myself as great as I should have.

I had never noticed how everything looks so different in the dark; the building is simple… what's so special about this place? Well as long as I get paid who cares what the place looks like right.

I was told to ask for some guy named Iruka, there doesn't seem to be too many people here yet well its 9:35 and work doesn't start till 10:00 and finish at 5:00

And as I get closer to the entrance I see that there is a gated door… okay and how do I get in?

"Can I help you with something?" came the voice of a man behind me, not going to lie, but he did startled me a bit as if I'm not nervous enough let's just all sneak up on the new girl.

He was very tall and thin, "Um, yeah… I'm supposed to talk to Iruka" I said as clearly as I could and hopefully loud enough too I really don't want to have to repeat myself.

"Oh you're the new." he said with a bit of surprise like he didn't believe that I was going to take this job… weirdo. I just nodded my head and he walked to the gate and pressed a button and spoke into it, "The new temp is here."

"All right cool, come on in." was the response of the voice of a male

And with that said the old man effortlessly pulled on the gate door and motioned me in with a smile and a "Good luck." He told me and in I went passing another set of doors that led me into a smallish room? There wasn't anything special there, just the company name Ichiraku painted on the front a few posters of bowls of ramen over the wall. Well it's better than being out if front end serving the food and it pays more, and this is what I get for not going to college. And to the right there was one last set of glass doors that must lead into the factory.

Entering I see another pair of doors further down to my left and to my right there is a small window with a guy talking on the phone, and if I go straight I see people and a few circular tables and groups of people talking amongst themselves. And I think I'm not as invisible here as I was in school, "Ah you must be the new employee." the guy that had been talking on the phone said with a smile on his face, "Why don't you come on in." he said and I did not hesitate I didn't want to be stared at by my new co-workers. Entering there was a small office space with two computers on the right wall close to where the small window had been and a table with papers scattered all over, "Hello, I'm Iruka." The man said and extended his hand to me.

I took it, "Hi, I'm Ino." I said loudly and clearly and offered him a small smile, remember be more confident.

After our hand shake and small introduction he motioned me to have a seat which I took then he looked at the clock on his computer, "There is still one other person who should be here soon," he told me while he took his own seat "I have to check some emails, so don't think I'm being rude or ignoring you or anything like that." He explained to me.

"Yeah sure." I told him, I get it he has work to do or maybe his own personal life to attended to I'm not sure, but I'm not about to question him on what he's doing. Instead I continue to examine the office, there was a big school white board organized with the next two weeks down and the hours of the day going across and different names in each spot with in separate days and times.

Ten minutes had gone by and soon another person entered, "Hey sorry I'm a bit late." Said a girl with dark short hair and dark eyes with a bright smile, you can tell right away that she's really sure of herself… I envy her cause that's how I want to be.

"It's cool, I'm Iruka" said the man taking his attention away from the screen and back to me and the new comer, with the girl that just came in it made me feel less nervous about being new.

"Hi, I'm Shizune." The new person who had entered the room said with a loud proud voice, she averted her eyes from Iruka to me and offered me a big smile.

"Hello." I said to her and she had a seat next to me, for the next 15 minutes we filled out more forms and had curious employees peak in and smile with an occasional hello. I suppose they were interested in the new meat that had arrived.

And after we were all done with the forms it was time to meet our supervisor, "Pain can you come over to the reception we're ready for you." Iruka said into a walky-talky and in less than five minutes a guy with short bright orange hair walked in, he looked really serious it was almost intimidating especially for me, I snuck a peak at Shizune he seemed to have no effect on her. "Hey pain this is Ino and Shizune." Iruka introduced us and with a smile "There all yours, good luck." He wished us; he was the second person to say this I wonder why?

Should I know something?

Pain left the room and we followed him it seemed that the shift had started and he lead us through the pair of doors that had been to my left before. He showed us around but to be honest the place all looked the same I'm bound to get lost here if I'm left on my own…

As soon we came to the lab where they tested the noodles, yes it had been a big surprise that noodles need testing but hey what do I know. There was a strong smell of soup and people in white coats, "This is where we test the product." Pain explained, and there was a small group of people talking amongst themselves until they noticed that we had entered the room. They all offered smiles and greetings and I responded with a small smile of my own, we didn't stay there for long and we continued on our way and that's also when he would separate me from Shizune, true she wasn't my friend or anything but I had been using her as my type of support. "Naruto." Pain called out to a tall dark blonde boy.

His hair was a darker shade of blonde than my own and his blue eyes were lighter than my dark green eyes, he had a baby face and offered a comforting smile to me.

"Naruto, this is Ino she's going to be in station 4." Pain said and then began to walk off with Shizune right behind him.

'Oh why did he have to leave me alone with a boy, it's okay I can do this he's not going to hurt me or anything just relax.'

"Hi there, I'm Naruto." He introduced himself again with a smile

"I'm Ino" I told him with a smile.

"C'mon." he told me and walked right beside me, "Today I'm going to be here with you and show you how to do this." He began his explanation he must have noticed that I was nervous "So how old are you?" Naruto asked me he must be trying to make me feel more comfortable.

It was working and I was grateful that he wasn't just going to tell me what to do and ignore my existence, "I'm 18" I told him and before I could even ask him how old he was he responded.

"I'm 19!" he excitedly said, "…So… do you have any kids." He asked me he looked rather interested in this and he was slightly serious.

Honestly was that some type of joke? One I have never been kissed let alone have even been asked to be in a sexual relation… but he doesn't need to know this. Still his question was acceptable there are a lot of teen moms these days so that's probably why he asked me; still that's not really any of his business and there really was no reason for him to ask that either. "No I don't." I responded like it was a normal question.

With less enthusiasm he gave me a smile, "That's good." And then he began to explain to me my job, it wasn't hard I just had to make sure that all the boxes had the proper label's; no missing info, every box is sealed and every 30 min's I open a box make sure there's the right amount take note and at the end of the day write a report on the computer and that's it. Easy enough…

The night went on pretty fast and soon I found myself in lunch time, once again I was reunited with Shizune and thankfully she approached me with a smile "So how are things going for you?" she asked me with a smile, yet she almost spoke to me like she had been worried about me, but she doesn't know me we are either strangers or at the starting point of becoming friends.

Either way I'm glad I have someone here with me, Naruto had said he had something he had to do real quick and he would catch up. Shizune and I sat down at a table, "It's going good." I told her and from there we began to talk almost as if we have known each other for some time.

And out of nowhere a guy with dark eyes and dark silver hair popped up right in front of me, "Hi, I'm Kakashi." He introduced himself to me with a smile and extending his hand to me.

I remember him he had been one of the guys that had been in the lab earlier talking, but there hadn't been any proper introduction. "Hello I'm Ino" I told him my voice was soft but loud enough for him to hear me, and once I accepted his hand his smile widened… I like his smile it's what many consider a perfect smile.

Once we released our hands he started at me for a moment longer then he look to the girl who sat with me and extended his hand to her and they introduced themselves and then just like he had appeared he went to a table that was close to the corner and sat with some others who I'm going to guess are his work friends.

The rest of the time had gone by rather fast; with small talk from Naruto I began to feel better and les nervous.

Okay I have no idea what goes on in a factory so I could be wrong.
