I somehow managed to fall asleep after that and when I woke up Naruto was gone. Guess he got up before me. I went through any normal morning routine and after brushing my teeth I got dressed and sat down at my laptop and browsed. After a few minutes the door opened and I turned to see something amazing. Naruto was in only a towel and steam rolled off of his body. I couldn't help but stare.
"Good morning," Naruto said as he turned to find a change of clothes.
"G-good morning." He dropped his towel and I quickly turned away. My heart was racing out of control.
"I slept pretty good last night," Naruto said.
"Y-yeah," I replied as a knock came to the door. I turned and the half dressed Naruto opened the door. It was Shikamaru and Shino.
"Oh hey guys," Naruto said.
"Hey we we're gonna be hanging out today ,so you coming?" Shikamaru asked.
"Just let me finish getting ready I'll be there," Naruto said.
"You coming?" Shino asked, looking toward me. They weren't gonna stop bugging me so I guess I've got no choice. How annoying?
"Sure," I replied. I closed my laptop and grabbed my things.
"I'm glad you're coming Sasuke," Naruto said as he lead the way outside.
"We're still waiting on Kiba to get dressed," Choji said. Yet again he had a bag of chips in his hands. Was he really that hungry?
"Alright let's go guys," Kiba said while closing his door. Wonder what we were going to be doing.
"So what are we doing today?" Naruto asked. Did he read my mind or something?
"There's a huge mall in the next town over so I thought we'd take my car there," Kiba said. A mall? Maybe it could be fun. I still had plenty of my allowance saved up. We proceeded outside and when we got to Kiba's car I was amazed. It wasn't even a car but an SUV.
"Isn't she a beauty?" Kiba asked.
"I don't know much about cars but that looks kind of expensive," I said.
"Yeah this isn't even my usual car. I brought this since we wouldn't have enough room in the convertible."
"Your family must be quite well off," I let out.
"We're not filthy rich but yeah my family has money." We all piled in and went to get breakfast. "Traveling on an empty stomach can only lead to disaster," is what Choji said. After that we started on our 30 minute ride out. Everyone pretty much just joked around the whole time and I sat back and listened. Once we arrived I was shocked at how big it actually was. First thing I was doing was finding a bookstore. In a mall this big they had to have one.
"Damn that is pretty big," Naruto said.
"Yeah I've never actually been here myself," Kiba said. We entered the building and got lost with excitement. Everyone seemed to go into their own shops. I found the bookstore, Choji was at the food court, Kiba and Shino were in a pet shop, Shikamaru was playing chess with some old man in a board game shop, and Naruto was looking at video games. Everyone seemed to be having a great time. I searched the books and found so many I liked. Man, I was going to be broke before the end of this. After a while we all eventually met up and decided to eat lunch.
"So what do you guys wanna do now?" Kiba asked.
"Yeah I can't eat another bite," Choji said. That's surprising. Never thought I would hear that from him.
"That old man is actually pretty good at chess," Shikamaru said.
"How about we go watch a movie?" Naruto asked.
"Is there anything good playing?" Kiba asked.
"There's a good horror movie out," Naruto suggested. He described it and everyone immediately recognized it from various advertising.
"Sound good to everyone?" Kiba asked. Everyone else agreed but I was hesitant. Me and horror films didn't really mix. Surprisingly there was a theatre built into the mall. We got lucky. The movie we wanted to watch had a showing in 5 minutes so we bought our tickets, popcorn and drinks. By the time we made it in, the advertisements were still playing.
"Me and Shino are gonna sit in back," Kiba said.
"I don't care where we sit," Shikamaru said while him and Choji followed Kiba. Good. I can sit in middle alone. There weren't many people so we could pretty much choose where we wanted to sit so I plopped myself right dead in the center but when I sat down, Naruto sat down beside me.
"Aren't you going to sit with your other buddies?" I asked.
"It's alright I like the middle better anyway," Naruto replied with a smile. Jeez he's annoying.
The movie came on and just like any other horror film, I closed my eyes for the gory parts. Half way through I got thirsty and reached for my drink and took a sip. It was soda but I had gotten water. I looked over to see Naruto also grabbing for the left cup holder. Realizing nothing was there he looked at me with a weird expression. Then I realized what I had done.
"O-oh I'm sorry. I grabbed the wrong drink," I whispered. I was so embarrassed.
"It's no problem," Naruto said giving me another one of his smiles. I handed him his drink and he did the unexpected. Without even hesitating he took a sip. Wait. My mouth was on that just a second ago! It's like he just indirectly kissed me. My face started burning. I quickly turned away and grabbed my drink. I didn't calm down until the end of the movie. Why? What was wrong with me?
We met up with the rest at the exit and discussed the movie.
"The detail of the monster was amazing," Kiba explained, "it was so realistic."
"Why do all horror movie characters have to be stupid?" Choji asked, "I mean what did they expect to find in that forest with signs all over telling them to turn back?" He did have a point. They talked for awhile while we exited the theatre.
"Well I guess we can head back for now," Shikamaru said.
"Yeah there's not much else we can do right?" Kiba said. We all headed back to the parking lot but to our surprise the car was missing. Damnit. This situation is annoying.
