PinkPanther328: Ino-chan…can I ask you an itty-bitty teeny weensy bitsy miniscule practically nonexistent favor? PLZ!

IkN0right: lol, chill, chica. What is it you want me to do?

PinkPanther328: Um…so, you know how on yesterday a really ugly Voyager van dropped me off at school and a weird redheaded leprechaun waved fanatically at me to have a wonderful day and make sure to make more new friends and stay away from drugs and unsafe sex?

IkN0right: LOL, I taped half of that!

PinkPanther328: …. you're burning all of that.

IkN0right: No; I'm sending it to YouTube, AFV, and the school's VideoCentral as we speak. I might even give it to Shikamaru to press in the virtual paper next week.

PinkPanther328: INO! YOU PIG!

IkN0right:That is not how you get someone to do favors for you. (ignore)

PinkPanther328: (pleading on ground) I'll give you a pedicure with my PediExpert!

IkN0right: …you got a deal if you give me the whole mani-pedi kit. What was it you wanted anyway?

PinkPanther328: Fine. And, I don't want to ride with my Mom for the rest of the week, especially considering she did THAT to me yesterday, so…could you maybe help me out?

IkN0right: Sure beans. Where do you live?

PinkPanther328: Destiny Falls.

IkN0right: NOOOOOOO!OO!OO!O!OO!O!O!

PinkPanther328: ?

IkN0right: It's too far away from my house! And I have to pay for my gas and car now since I'm officially 18—stupid you, moved too late to go to my kick ass party!—and I can't afford the extra mileage.

PinkPanther328: Where do you live? It can't honestly be that far away!

IkN0right: You know that Walgreens right by the White Castles on the way to the mall that I showed you the other day?

PinkPanther328: Yeah.

IkN0right: Over there behind the mall.

PinkPanther328: How in the hell do you still go to Konoha Elite? Isn't that closer to Otofuku High?

IkN0right: Yeah but I live on the borderline so my parents got to choose. ANYWAYZ. I'm sorry, chica. Don't you have your own car? Why don't you drive the old Voyager? Nobody cares.

PinkPanther328: You need to push the backspace button because what you just type-uttered is complete idiocy. What do you mean 'drive the old Voyager'? That is Mom-Car with a time bomb inside. I'm not trying to die! And, I don't have my own car because I happened to crash it my Junior year on the way to a party and my mom doesn't trust me behind the wheel.

IkN0right: So she gave you a bike?

PinkPanther328: I found it at some dump. T.T

IkN0right: Wow,…the PublicChat's finally filling up. Wanna head over there?

PinkPanther328: Sure. I'll close this out. Cya soon, bebz.

TopRamenKid10: IKR! And then she's going to go and say everything is peachy-keen even though she was just bitching about me forgetting to turn it off!

Uchiha2: I thought we already covered the fact that your mother is crazy.

IkN0right: HOLA!

|[]-|[]: Hey, Ino. What's up?

IkN0right: Nm. What are the bromance brothers arguing about this time?

TopRamenKid10: We are not in a bromance!

PinkPanther328: Denial. Lol—hey, guys.

|[]-|[]: Hey Sakura-chan. I didn't know they already signed you up on KESS?

heiressluv12: It is nice to see you here, Sakura-chan :). They sign you up as soon as you register if your parent and/or guardian approves of it. All the student has to do is receive the e-mail and set up a password and unique username.

Uchiha2: You would know, Hyuuga.

B0w-Chika-0w-W0w: Don't be jealous that they have more school connections than your family does, Uchiha.

Uchiha2: …don't you have a dog to rape or something?

PinkPanther328: ANYWAY! Who else is on right now and being super creepy not participating in conversation but just watching what everyone types?

birdinacage65: I was waiting until mature words were actually being passed.

BBQch1ps: There's barbeque on my fingers.

IkN0right: Like we all want to know that…

Over2IQ: My computer was spazzing earlier. Is anyone besides me going to the Festival on Saturday?

TopRamenKid10: Teme and me were thinking about going.

|[]-|[]: Bromance…

IkN0right: Gay Lovin' and it feels so good~

PinkPanther328: Lmao, there's nothing wrong with being a guy and having a best friend.

TopRamenKid10: Thank you, Sakura-chan.

Uchiha2: Hn. Are you going, Sakura?

PinkPanther328: I was thinking about going but I don't have a ride.

|[]-|[]: I wish I could help you out, but I'm going to be in Sound for my cousin's pageant thing. Such a priss…

IkN0right: U already know I can't take you.

Over2IQ: I might be able to help you out since I'm giving Choji a ride for Saturday.

PinkPanther328: Um…

BBQch1ps: LOL, don't worry about it, Sakura. I understand. Most people don't want to be stuck in Shikamaru's mini-car with nothing but me and a bag of chips in the backseat. It's cool.

PinkPanther328: Yeah, I'm sorry. : ) I heard that 'The Genius' has millions of tickets for running stop signs anyway.

Over2IQ: They show up out of nowhere and my Dad talked to court about getting my license renewed tomorrow.

heiressluv12: Would you mind riding with me and Neji? We won't be going until Sunday, though.

birdinacage65: Uncle said that we could go Saturday.

heiressluv12: He said you could go Saturday, Neji-nii.

birdinacage65: Oh. Sorry then, Sakura.

PinkPanther328: Naruto? Sasuke? I mean, I could just ask my Mom but…you all remember yesterday, right?

TopRamenKid10: Lmao! I taped that!

PinkPanther328: …BURN IT! D:

TopRamenKid10: Anyway, I can't take you. Dad is pissed because there are mysterious looking bloodstains—I am looking at you, you clumsy little bike rider—in the backseat and demoted me to the old truck. I can only fit one person in there and I'm stuck with my little cousin.

IkN0right: AWW! Konohamaru, right?

|[]-|[]: He was so cute the last time I saw him. How old is he now, Naruto?

TopRamenKid10: Old enough to know how to put me through immense amounts of physical and emotional trauma!

imabirdinacage65: Surprising you know words that big and can spell them correctly, Naruto.

Over2IQ: Can't be that bad.

Uchiha2: He actually is. When did you want to go, Sakura? I'll see if I can take you.

PinkPanther328: OMG thankuuuu. Um, can you do Saturday?

Uchiha2, Over2IQ, imabirdinacage65, and TopRamenKid10 have left PublicChat

PrivateChat Room 5

TopRamenKid10: Who accepted the invite?

Over2IQ: Don't you get a notification in a new window saying who did?

TopRamenKid10: OH YEAH! lol. Hi guys.

Uchiha2: Dobe. What did you have to say that was so important that you had to make a private room?

birdinacage65: I'm curious, too.

TopRamenKid10: Sasuke. I'll have to eject you for a second, okay?

Uchiha2: What the f—

Uchiha2 has been ejected from PrivateChat Room 5

Over2IQ: ?

birdinacage65: Okay…?

TopRamenKid10: I think Sasuke is being awfully nice to Sakura-chan…

birdinacage65: I repeat: Okay…?

Over2IQ: What type of point are you trying to make here, Naruto?

TopRamenKid10: IDK. I'm just stating observations. Like today in science, Sakura was spacing out when Kurenai-sensei asked her a question. Guess who helped her out via hand signals? And on Monday, how many glances was he stealing at her in math? HM? And at lunch! EVERY DAY LUNCH! COME ON; you can't pretend you don't notice! He spends the whole forty-five molesting her with his eyes!

Over2IQ: How do you molest with eyes?

birdinacage65: Exactly—you can't—and besides, there's plenty of reason to be staring at Sakura. If you haven't noticed, Naruto, she has pink hair. I find myself staring at her for minutes on end wondering what happened to her genetics in the zygotic stages.

TopRamenKid10: THAT'S NOT WHAT I MENANT!

Over2IQ: Then what did you mean? Are you trying to say that him actually being nice to someone is insinuating that he has feelings for her?

TopRamenKid10: You're not a genius for nothing.

birdinacage65: I don't think he likes her, Naruto.

TopRamenKid10: OKAY. What points do you have that point to another outcome, HM?

birdinacage65: What validation do you have?

Over2IQ: Sasuke just texted me that he's going to kill you if you don't let him back in.

TopRamenKid10: ...He wouldn't.

birdinacage65: He just text me and said he was more serious than the acne on your back.

TopRamenKid10: :O OH NO HE DID NOT!

Uchiha2 Is Entering PrivateChat Room 5

.

Uchiha2: Fuck you, Naruto. Fuck you.

TopRamenKid10: You know you want to…

Over2IQ: Are you sure you two aren't gay for each other? Seriously?

birdinacage65: chuckle

TopRamenKid10: Well I know I'm not gay because I like girls.

Uchiha2: ?

birdinacage65: You haven't had a girlfriend since sophomore year, Naruto.

Over21Q: And the mayor's daughter should hardly count. The slut.

Uchiha2: we are talking about girls because…

TopRamenKid10: Because we are all best mates and we often do talk about girls whom we all best mates happen to fancy. And, as best mates should, we always tell each other when we have a particular liking toward, I don't know, certain girls whom I've almost ran over?

birdinacage65: Subtlety is not your strongpoint, Naruto.

Over2IQ: This is going to be interesting.

Uchiha2: Sakura?

TopRamenKid10: What would make you say that, Sasuke-teme? HM? Is that just the first name that popped into your mind, as if it's always running through it?

Uchiha2: Wtf are you talking about, you dumbass

TopRamenKid10: Neji, Shikamaru.

Over2IQ: What?

birdinacage65: Yeah

TopRamenKid10: Don't you think that Sakura-chan is like sexy on a sexy stick?

Uchiha2: I don't see the point that you're trying to make with this…

Over2IQ: She's pretty, I guess…

birdinacage65: This is pointless.

TopRamenKid10: What do you think Sasuke-teme?

Uchiha2 has left PrivateChat Room 5

Uchiha2 is now offline

TopRamenKid10: He didn't have to be so anal about his feelings. Damn Emo.


I leaned into my array of pillows decorating my bed, pulling out my cell phone from my back pocket while propping my feet up on my backpack. KESS was practically declared dead right now—the only person who was on was Shikamaru, and I don't think he ever logs out—so me and Ino decided to just ditch and text.

The screen of my rectangular communication device and otherwise deemed BABY lit up as it buzzed, and I clicked the home button, unlocking and sliding up the screen to reveal a QWERTY keyboard in the same motion.

(555) 293-1928: Hey Forehead!

(555) 297-4593: What's up, Ino? Ugh. I'm so bummed about not having a ride to the Fest.

(555) 293-1928: Just take your Mom's Voyager! I'm sure she won't mind at all.

(555) 297-4593: But I do mind. Call it superficial but, geez.

(555) 293-1928: I understand, I guess. It seemed like Sasuke was about to take you. ^.~

(555) 297-4593: What's with the unnecessarily placed winky emoticon?

(555) 293-1928: It's in no way unnecessarily placed.

(555) 297-4593: Yeah. It kinda sorta is.

(555) 293-1928: Kinda sorta sorta kinda NOT REALLY.

(555) 297-4593: he just implied that he would lend me a ride…

(555) 293-1928: Y are you saying 'just' as if THE Sasuke Uchiha offering you a ride to THE Fall Festival is in no way hinting toward you two being in a relationship?

(555) 297-4593: Bcuz it doesn't! I don't even like him, Pig. I mean, he's cute, but…

(555) 293-1928: But…you are in such deep denial that you're blind to obviousness.

(555) 297-4593: You fail to make sense. What's so amazing about that? If Naruto said he could take me, you wouldn't b making such a big deal.

(555) 293-1928: No. No I wouldn't. The thing is that this is Sasuke, the emotionless bastard, and you're snagging him faster than a fish hook with a meaty worm on it.

(555) 297-4593: …sure. Either way, I know I don't have feelings for him, so it wouldn't make any difference.

(555) 293-1928: OH COME ON SAKURA!

(555) 297-4593: Honestly. I don't.

(555) 293-1928: Whatever. Have fun swimming in The Nile, tell me how the water is, k? In the meantime, I can't text past 11, so I'll TTYL.

(555) 297-4593: Sure thing.

(555) 380-9011: Sakura?

(555) 297-4593: Um, yeah. Who's this?

(555) 380-9011: Just Sasuke.

(555) 380-9011: Uchiha.

(555) 297-4593: lol I knew which one. Is my bike done?

(555) 380-9011: Almost.

(555) 297-4593: Oh, okay then. What's up?

(555) 380-9011: Homework.

(555) 297-4593: Me too. Math?

(555) 380-9011: History.

(555) 297-4593: Number 8 is False. And, not to sound rude, but if my bike isn't finished, why are you texting me?

(555) 380-9011: I wanted to know if—thanks for the answer.

(555) 297-4593: No problem. : )

(555) 380-9011: So…

(555) 297-4593: …So…

(555) 380-9011: I actually wanted to ask you something.

(555) 297-4593: I'm all ears—but not literraly. That would look funny.

(555) 380-9011: Yea, it would.

(555) 297-4593: Lol. What was your question?

(555) 380-9011: I forgot. See you tomorrow at school.

(555) 297-4593: …Oh. Okay then. :) Good night, Sasuke-kun.(555) 380-9011: I must be the second biggest idiot in the world.


(555) 938-1809: But teme if ur teh secnd biggst idiot, thn who's teh frst?

(555) 380-9011: Reread what you just texted me and take an educated guess, Dobe.

(555) 938-1809: ?UGH! idk. Gmme a hint!


a/n: This was fun to write! For those who've reviewed since the very beginning, I owe you so many cookies! I send you luv!

I have the story plotted out, so far, until chapter twelve, I am almost done with chapter six right now, and chapter seven is already basically in a start, so expect updates to come to a 'sort-of' slow. : )
