Calling All Boys

Chapter: 5

Ino's Dairy

Dear dairy,

I know, I know I should be reading Oliver Twist right now but I have so much to tell you.

It started when we all went outside for midday break. The track field in the back of the school was completely covered with snow.

We were walking around making footprints in snow when Akari han an idea.

"Why don't we build snowmen?" Akari asked.

Hinata cleared her throat. "You mean snow people!" she corrected. "We have to stand up for the equality for women!"

"She does have a point," I whispered to Sakura.

"Yeah," Sakura whispered back.

With everyone busy building snow people and having snowball fight, it was the perfect time for Sakura and me to call our dates. It was 2:00 just the time Kiba told us to call.

Using a Konoha Academy phone sheet I took from the main office, I dialed Shikamaru Nara's house number. I couldn't tell whether my hand were shaking from the cold from the cold or from the excitement. It took a few minutes for Shikamaru's roommate track him down, but finally Shikamaru came to the phone!

"Hi, Shikamaru," I said. "This is Ino Yamanaka. You know Kiba's cousin?"

"I know who you are," Shikamaru said. "Kiba told me you were going to call me. How troublesome che. He even showed me your picture. The one where you are holding that big fish you caught. You looked cute!"

Cute he thought I was cute!

"Thanks!" I said.

Sakura wiggled my arm.

"Cut to the chase!" she whispered. "Cut to the chase!"

"Shikamaru, the Sadie Hawkins Day Dance is next week," I said, trying to sound cool. "Would you like to go with me?"

I could feel him smirking on the phone.

I held my fingers crossed.

At last, he took a deep breath and said with his beautiful and lazy voice "Sure."

"Bingo!" I cheered. Then I felt myself blush. "I mean….. it should be a lot more fun than bingo!"

We made our plans, said goodbye, and hung up.

"I'm in love, I'm in love!" I swooned, spinning around the snow.

"In love?" Sakura cried. "But you haven't even met the guy yet!"

"I don't have to," I said. "I can tell by Shikamaru's warm and caring voice that we're perfect soul-mates."

"Your turn" I turned to Sakura with a smile.

But Sakura just stared at the phone.

"What's the matter?" I asked.

"Ino, this is sort of stuff doesn't come easy for me!" Sakura said. "The only time I ever call boys is to arrange softball games. You know that!"

"So pretend you and Naruto are going to a Cubs game," I said, thrusting the phone forward. "Go on."

"Okay, okay," Sakura muttered. She dialed Naruto's number and waited.

"Hello?" Sakura said. "Is Naruto around?"…..

"He's what? … He's playing the organ?"

I bi my lip. Electric guitars are cool. So are drums and saxphones. But organs? No way! I wondered what my sister thought of that. I couldn't read Sakura's expression.

It took awhile for Naruto to come to the phone. But when he did, Sakura got right down to business.

"Ok Naruto , I don't know you and you don't know me," Sakura said. "But I need a date for Cubs game I mean the Sadie Hawkins Day Dance next week. How about it?"

Sakura waited a few seconds. Then she gave a thumbs-up sign and made the date.

"You see? It worked!" I said after she hung up. "But what's this about him playing organ? Aren't organs kind of unusual?"

"Not if you are at a baseball stadium," Sakura said, her eyes shinning.

Why didn't I think of that?

"We did it!" I exclaimed as I gave Sakura a big high five. "we got dates for the Sadie Hawkins Day Dance!"

"Way to go!" Sakura cheered.

"Now, remember," I told my best friend. "This whole thing about Kiba and the cell phone must be our little secret."

"Did I just hear right?" Akari asked, peeking out from her snowman. "You two got dates? Just like that?"

Sakura and I looked at each other. So much for little secrets!

I took a deep breath and told everything about our cell phone and our cousin at the Konoha Academy for Boys.

"You are sooooo lucky," Akari said. " I still can't get up the nerve to ask out Tadashi."

"Tadashi?" I repeated.

"Tadashi Kanto, the lead clarinetist in the Konoha Band," Akari explained. "I found his reed under his chair. I've been slleping with it under my pillow for months."

"That is so gross!" Sakura cried.

"NO, it's not," I sighed. "It's true love." It was then I had the most fantastic idea!

"Akari" I asked. "How would you like us to use our cell phone to call Tadashi?"

"You mean ask him out for me?" Akari whispered. Her eyes eyes wide open. "You'd really do that?"

Sakura dragged me aside. "Earth to Ino," she whispered. "We're not allowed to use our cell phone remember?"

I remembered. But I also remembered how nice Akari was to me on my first day in the Student Lounge.

"Just this once, Sakura," I promised.

Just this once. Lucky I didn't put it in writing.

Because later at dinner who should approach us at the frozen yogurt machine but Temari!

"Ino? Sakura?" Temari asked. She looked at us as she sprinkled carob chips over her strawberry yogurt. "I hear you two have cell phones."

Wow I couldn't believe Temari actually knows our names and she was talking to us. But why?

"Some of my friends need dates for the Sadie Haawkins Day Dance," Temari said. "Can you fix them up with some boys at Konoha For Boys?"

"No problem," I said quickly.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute," Sakura told me. She turnedto Temari. "You and your friends aren't new here like Ino and I are. Why would you need help meeting boys?"

"We only started in September," Temari explained. "That's not enough time to get to know boys. Besides, some girls like boys they don't have classes with. Like Secound Form boys they've seen in town."

"Temari, say no more!" I said with a grin. "Sakura and I will be glad to help out"

I could hear Sakura making little gasping noises.

"Cool," Temari said. "I'll will give you a list of my friends and the boys they like."

"How about you, Temari" I asked.

"Oh, don't bother," Temari said. She picked up her tray and began walking away. "I already have a boyfriend. He know he's going with me."

"Are you nuts?" Sakura cried after Temari had walked to her table. "You heard what your Dad and Miss Kiyomi said. And what it is this dating service?"

Sakura just didn't have a clue. "May I remind you that Temari is the coolest First Form girl at Konoha Academy" I said. "And that this is a great chance to make friends?"

"But, Sakura-" Sakura started, but I cut her off.

"It's not a dating service." I tilted my head and tapped my chin.

"Consider it …. a Friendship Service!"
