Chapter Three: A Crazy Picture Show

I managed to get a ride to the theater, and would have to get a ride back home because of Iruka's night job. He stopped working at the grocery store, well I guess the only real way to put it would be that he was fired, but anyway that mean he was only working the graveyard shift from now on.

"Ino!" I called, spotting her standing with a small group of people on the sidewalk apparently waiting for me. She smiled, running up to me for a hug. Even though I met her just yesterday, she's been texting me non-stop so I feel weirdly closer to her than I thought was possible. I learned that she used to have a crush on Sasuke bastard, but after getting rejected so many times she decided to do better.

So you can imagine my surprise to see him standing with the other faceless people in the group, well I did recognize on other girl named Sakura but you get me. I guess Ino does have to maintain her popularity somehow. I felt my face turn to stone as we began the walk up from the end of the theater to the front.

Ugh, look at him, looking good with that hair, and those jeans that show off an ass sculpted to perfection, and those wonderful eyes glancing back at me every few seconds. Bastard.

I watched him lean over Ino's shoulder; I could barely hear his whisper, "Ino, who is that? Have I ever met him before?"

Has he ever met me before? Sure, I guess not technically. Does that give him an excuse to not know the person he's tormented all through-out middle school? No, no it really doesn't.

"That's Naruto, Sasuke we've been going to school with him for years." Ino teased, slapping his arm like he is the silliest person she ever met. "Pay more attention space cadet!"

I wonder if she does drugs. It's an honest thought.

"Oh." He replied as we made eye contact, I held up a self-expressive middle finger and he frowned at the sight, looking away. "This is going to be fun." I heard him say, sarcastically, to Ino.

Well it really won't be fun for me either ass. I walked up to the other side of Ino and drew her attention away from him so that I could at least be distracted while hogging some attention, because yes, I am still an attention whore.

"So what kind of movie did you end up picking?" I asked, glancing over at a slightly annoyed Sasuke, "Not horror I hope."

"Oh no don't worry! I picked a comedy; you know one of those movies that are specifically targeted for our age." She laughed, patting me on the back for a second time I wondered if she was doing drugs of some kind. "It's going to be alright I think, Sasuke doesn't like them very much but it won by popular vote pretty much. Oh, you weren't there so I hope you don't mind that I voted for you?"

"No way, you made the perfect vote in my place!" I patted her back, somewhat mimicking her movements in a mocking way before I could stop myself. She didn't seem to notice though and just kept smiling and chatting away. I couldn't help but smile back; I think the fact that Sasuke wouldn't like the movie just added a bonus to my evening.

I ended up sitting right next to the bastard though, so some points were subtracted from my day. Ino sat on the other side of me, and we spent most of the time chewing away on popcorn and making commentary about the funny antics playing on the screen. Sasuke tried to reach over for popcorn at some point when I was in mid conversation with Ino but I smacked his hand away without a pause.

What? If he wanted popcorn he can get up and go buy some, he doesn't need to dig around in the one I bought for me and my new friend Ino. Besides, Sakura kept him busy with her obvious attempts at flirtation. She's a pretty girl, and I've never had a conversation with her, but everyone always seems to have bad things to say about her.

Well if she really is a bitch then I really do hope she gets with Sasuke that would be perfect.

The movie ended with the typical hot girl getting with the typical geek who is used to getting nothing and the typical jock finding out he really had a taste for men. I wonder what it would be like to be gay. I mean sometimes I think I could do it; there are some guys out there that I do find genuinely attractive. But I'm really not experienced in that area.

I guess you could say I'm more like the typical geek who never gets the girls or anything.

"Do you want a ride home?" Ino asked as we began to file out of the movie theater, "I mean I'm giving Sasuke and Sakura a ride home to, but I know that you don't have a car so…we could drop you off first?"

"Sure." I replied, not wanting to be trapped with Sasuke any longer than I had to be, "You looked up the directions to my house I sent you right?"

"Yeah, why would you do that though, do you not know your way back from here?" She asked, I shrugged mimicking Shikamaru this time. She only grinned a little and then we were caught in the larger crowd of other teenagers who we didn't recognize. She waved good-bye to the rest of the small group as they walked away to their separate cars.

I piled into the back seat with Sakura who didn't look very pleased to be sitting so near me while her precious bastard stole the front seat. The whole drive, despite Ino's pleasant conversation, was slightly uncomfortable. I could feel the ass's eyes on me from the mirrors every five seconds like clockwork.

I was more than relieved when we made it to my house….only I don't really know what a word would be for that sort of feeling. I said goodbye and only made it about tow feet from the car before I was called back.

"Hey!" Sasuke called after me suddenly as he got out of the car and walked up to me with Ino and Sakura looking on with interest, "Not that I care, but why do you have some kind of problem with me?"

Not only did that show that he did care at least a little bit, but did he really just ask me that? The rage built up and before I could stop it, not that I really wanted to, I took my fist and swung making contact with his jaw. He looked at me from the ground ready to kill, so I did what any manly man would do. I turned around, and ran into my house to hide. I just punched Sasuke Uchiha in the face.

Awesome.
