Chapter: 8
Calling all boys
Ino's dairy
Dear dairy,
I never really like Mondays. But then again, Monday never meant science lab with Konoha Boys!
"I am so excited to see shikamaru for the first time that I hardly eat!" I told Sakura in the dinning hall. I glanced at her tray. "You must be excited, too. You hardly touch your breakfast."
Sakura shook her head. "Just grossed out," she said. "Who eats maple oatmeal with sushi in the breakfast?"
After breakfast Sakura and I made our way to the lab. The first thing I noticed when I stepped into the lab were the boys. They were leaning over the counter and starring at some pickled frog inside the jar.
I didn't have to look for Shikamaru. I recognized him right away from his picture. And he recognized me because when we walked over toward our seats he came over.
"You must be Ino," Shikamaru said.
"You must be right!" I answered. I could feel my heart skipping inside my chest. "Re you ready for the dance this Friday?"
"Definitely," Shikamaru said. "I hope you're practicing your two step."
"My what?" I asked.
"It's some troublesome western dance I saw on the Hoe-down Channel," Shikamaru explained.
"I'll be lucky if I can remember how to do-si-do," I said and laughed.
"Hey, we'll be fine," Shikamaru said. He gave me a little wave. "See you around."
"See you."
Shikamaru sat down and I'd thought I'd melt. He was even cuter than his picture and he was planning to dance with me. Most guys would rather eat worms than dance! Literally.
I was about to run over and tell Sakura when Temari tapped me on the shoulder.
"Ino?" she asked. "Will you be my lab partner?"
"Sure, I will, Temari," I answered happily.
'Amazing' I thought. Shikamaru Nara is my date. Temari is my lab partner.
Temari and I sat down behind a tall counter as our lab teacher Mrs. Fuji passed out beakers filled with a thick, gummy liquid. She showed us how we can make polymers by blowing ait into the liquid with straws.
"I heard that you're going to the dance with Shikamaru," Temari said, tapping the side of the beaker.
"Yeah," I said. "Is that way cool or what?"
"No it's not way cool," Temari said.
"Why not?" I asked. I bent over and blew into my straw.
"Because Shikamaru is my boyfriend that's why!" Temari said.
I almost suck down my polymer. "Your boyfriend?" I whispered.
"As if you didn't know," Temari whispered back. "Listen, Ino. I want to you to tell Shikamaru that you will not go to dance with him!"
I was shocked and I didn't know what to say.
"And do it before Friday night," Temari warned. "Or I'll announce to everyone at the dance that you stole my boyfriend!"
I couldn't believe my ears. Temari was threatening to humiliate me in front of everyone in front of Shikamaru! And as if that wasn't bad enough, she added one last zinger.
"And," Temari said, narrowing her eyes, "I'll tell everyone to stay away from you. So you can forget about ever making friends at Konoha Academy!"
I stared at Temari, horrified. I knew full well that she could do that she was saying.
"Temari," I said. "This is crazy! I-"
Mrs. Fuji stepped behind us. "Girls? Is there a problem?" she asked.
"There was, Mrs. Fuji," Temari said sweetly. "But I offered Ino a solution."
We carried on with our experiment in silence.
I was so confused I didn't even notice when my polymer oozed over my beaker onto the floor. I mean, why would Shikamaru agree to go to the dance with me if Temari was his girlfriend? It didn't make any sense. He seemed like such a nice guy.
I tried to catch his eyes across the room, but he never looked up. And when the bell rang, he left with a bunch of friends.
So the whole day went by and I haven't broken off my date-yet.
If Mom was here she'd know what to do. But Mom is thousands of miles away climbing palm trees. What am I going to do?
Sakura's Dairy
Dear dairy,
Today was the day I finally got to meet Naruto. So I guess you could say I was pretty psyshed. Especially when I walked into the science lab and checked out the Konha boys.
"Yo, Sakura!" Kiba yelled from across the classroom. "Meet Naruto!"
I spun around and gasped. Standing next to Kiba was Naruto and guess what he was holding a Pickled FROG!
"Hi, Naruto," I stammered.
Naruto grinned widely at me.
"I'll leave you two alone," Kiba said. He gave Naruto a light slap on the back.
Naruto and I stood there grinning at each other. I had to say something before my face cracked.
"Kiba tells me you won a trophy," I said. "What was that for? Basketball? Football?"
"Edgar Allan Poe!" Naruto said happily.
Whoa. Not the answer I was expecting. "Excuse me?" I asked.
"I won it last year in school, for my oral interperation of 'The Raven'!" Naruto said. "It's my favorite poem."
"Oh…. Really?" I said.
Naruto nodded. "In fact, I'm composing music for 'The Raven' on my organ. You should hear it. It's very intense!"
I stood there for a minute, then realized it was my turn to talk. "Um…I won a couple of trophies for softball," I said. "How do you like those Cubs?"
Naruto wrinkled his nose and shook his head. "I'm not much for hockey."
Hockey? Was he serious?
"Naruto," I said, tring to be polite. "The Cubs are famous baseball team. You know, the one Sammy Sosa plays for."
Naruto looked confused. "Sammy who?"
I bit my lip hard! To me, not knowing Sammy Sosa was like not knowing my own name! really I felt like punching him!
I spotted Kiba on the other side of the lab. He was watching us and snickering.
"I'll catch you later, Naruto," I said. "There's someone I have to talk to."
"Okay!" Naruto said. "See you at the dance!"
I walked over to Kiba and pulled him aside. "So how do you like Naruto?" Kiba asked.
"Kiba, what were you thinking?" I groaned. "Naruto and I have nothing in common. Zero! Zip! Zilch!"
"Hey, Naruto's a great guy," Kiba said. He laughed. "I thought he'd help you get off on the right foot at Konoha."
I narrowed my eyes. "So this whole thing is a joke," I said. "Thanks loads!"
After class when we were leaving the lab, Ino ran over. She told me that Kiba fixed her up with Temari's boyfriend!
"You were right, Sakura," Ino sighed. "I should never have trusted the family jokester!"
"Yeah, I know," I said. "But now the joke is definitely on us!"
Soooo what do you think hmmmm oh come on u know what do to :P
