Chapter 4: Shikamaru

I decided to go along with this whole “blind date thing” since I had nothing to lose. When I told Kiba, he looked like he was a homosexual because he was screaming at the top of his lungs.

“SHIKAMARU, YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE THE TIME OF YOUR LIFE!!!” Jeez. No idea what he’s getting so worked up about. It’s actually getting so annoying, that this is a reason why I’m going on the blind date in the first place: to get away from it. If I said “No,” I would never hear the end of it. “We have to get you a suit and--”

“Already have one. It’s fine. I’m not trying to impress anyone with it. Thank Kami it still fits.

“Shikamaru.” Kiba looked at me very intensely for some reason. I kind of got nervous so I just looked back at him. “You HAVE to look good on this date. You’ll want to once you get there.” His stupid smirk was back. I wish I could smack it off his face. It’s just to annoying sometimes. Almost as annoying as the friend that always has smart-ass comments for everything.

For example, once I was playing a game on the Wii. Well, a carrot you had to peel would turn when you peeled a whole side. I thought I had peeled the whole side but the carrot wouldn’t turn. Frustrated, I yelled “WHY WON’T MY CARROT TURN!?”

I guess my mom heard me, thought I was retarded, and yelled, “Carrots won’t turn themselves, dear!” Ugh. Then my cousin that was over yelled, “Smart one!”

Smart one. I hate HATE HATE that phrase. “Smart one.” UGH. Every time I hear it I want to beat my head against the wall.

Anyway, Kiba kept blabbing on about what I needed. “You need shoes--”

“Got ‘em.”

“You need to smell nice, you need a shower, you need to brush your teeth--”

“I do all of those things everyday. Just relax. The date will be fine. Plus, you went from ‘If you don’t like her…’ to ‘you are going to have the TIME OF YOUR LIFE!’ Make up your mind!”

“Ok. Honestly, I didn’t know how the girl was at first. Chouji did, but I didn’t. Then when you left last night, he told me and I was SIKED!” Siked…is that of “so” and “excited”? Never notice. “I knoooooow you’re going to have fun, so just go with the flow like you normally do, be nice, and just…have fun, DUH!” Maybe he was right. This could be really fun. Not knowing who you’re going on a date with is kind of…exciting.

Nice, dark green suit that still fits. Hair is nice. I smell nice. I look good…”Yes, you do, Shikamaru. You DO look good.” I smirked at myself in the mirror…I had an urge, alright?
“You look great, Shikamaru.” Chouji said with a smile. “She’ll be happy that you clean up nice, ha.” Uh…yeah. Thanks, Chouji.

“Well, we should get going, huh?” I said. I guess I sounded eager because right after I said that Chouji had a grin on his face and we walked out the door into the cool night air.

-Sigh-

Now for the date.
