Chapter 17
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto (sadly ;-;)
In the last chapter:
"What's wrong, Tenten-chan?" I asked. She tenses up and everyone stops walking. They gave me a few glances but I paid no attention to them. All my attention was on her and her red face. This is gonna be very amusing. I wonder how she'll react?

Everyone was now very confused. They had never, ever, heard Neji call anyone with a "-chan" before.
"Are you okay, Neji? You aren't sick, right?" Kiba asked. Everyone agreed and pointed out his weird behaviour. But he only stared at Tenten. It was as if he was waiting for her reply.
"Shut up." Tenten says. With her red, puffed cheeks it was hard for anyone to take her seriously.
"Can we go to the pool now?" Naruto whined. Everyone agreed to this, too. They all continued to make their way to the pool, trying to forget what just happened. "Please, please, please, take your lovey-dovey shit with you and continue it somewhere else." Kiba says before running away. Tenten clicked her tongue before walking after the group. Neji narrowed his eyes. Out of all the things he could've said, he had to say that. Looks like his plan didn't work out like he wanted it to.

Sakura's POV
Is Neji alright? He's never done anything like this before. What if...what if he likes—
"Sakura!" Ino sang out. She waved her hands and motioned for me to come over to her, Hinata, and Tenten. "What's going on?" I asked. "This!" Ino says and shows a picture of Sasuke and I. It was the one that she took earlier at the bus. I completely forgot about threatening her to delete it.
My eyes widened and I went to grab her phone, only to slip and fall into the pool. I swam up to the surface and glared at both Ino and Tenten who were laughing their asses off. At least Hinata didn't laugh and actually helped me. She deserves an award for being too kind.
"But that isn't all!" Ino says and shows another picture, this time being Naruto and Hinata. Hinata's face turned as red as a ripe tomato. She also began to stutter uncontrollably.
Tenten's laughter got louder and some people began to look in our direction. Hinata covered her face in embarrassment. Ino grins and placed her phone down.
"Oh god, my stomach hurts!" Tenten says in between her laughs. I swam up to her and grabbed her ankle, dragging her into the pool.
My plan was a huge success.
She falls in with a big splash, causing even more people to stare at us. Ino laughs even more but stops when someone taps her shoulder.
It was Sai.
She turns around and her eyes widened. They talk for a few minutes and Tenten and I watch her from the distance.
Sai leaves with a smile on his face and Ino has a huge grin on hers. She stares at us and I wiggled my eyebrows. Her face instantly turns red.

Ino's POV
I laughed as Tenten got dragged by Sakura into the pool. Now that I think about it, Tenten's already fitting in with everyone. Perhaps I should tell Naruto about this and add her into the group.
I stopped laughing as soon as I felt a light tap on my shoulder. I turned around and felt my eyes widened.
'Sai. Shitless. Wet hair. Hot. Damn.' Was all I could think of.
"You look beautiful, Ino." He compliments, and I swear I felt like melting right there and then. "Th-thanks." I say. WHY DID I STUTTER!?
He chuckled and he just became 10x more cuter. "So," Sai says. "There's this restaurant just a few minutes away from the hotel. It's beside the beach and I wanted to know if you'd like to go?"
Yes. YES. YES.
"Just us?"
He looks at the ground. "Yeah, if that's okay with you."
Yes. YES. Yes.
"Sure."
"Great, see you later." He says with a small smile before walking away. I watched him leave and I can't fight the urge to smile. I look at Sakura and Tenten and see them giving me looks. Sakura even wiggles her eyebrows!
"So what's going on, Pig?" Sakura asked and I tell them about what Sai said earlier. "Oo, someone has a date!" Tenten sang. Hinata smiles and says 'congratulations'. This girl is way too nice.
"Help me pick out something for this! Please!" I begged. They all look at each other before nodding. "Lets go!" Tenten yells and we all rush to the change room.
After we were done changing, we spotted the boys— who were on the diving boards trying to see who could make the highest and best dive— and said we were heading back to our rooms. They nodded their heads but didn't quite pay attention to us. We ran to the elevator and began discussing about what to wear.

After finally deciding on what to wear, Ino headed over to the lobby to meet Sai. "Good luck!" Sakura, Hinata, and Tenten said simultaneously. "Don't do that, it's creepy." Ino says but smiles anyways. They wave goodbye to the blonde and disappeared behind the doors of the elevator.
Ino lets out a nervous and shaky breath before continuing to make her way down the halls. She spots Sai almost instantly since he was the only one there.
"Hey," Ino greets. Sai looked up from a book that he was reading. It was titled, 'Guide to dates, girls, and emotions'.
"What're you reading?" Ino asks and tries to look. He shut the book and hid it behind him. The dark haired male looked a bit flustered and embarrassed, but it was hard for Ino to tell. "Sorry, I'm not good with these things." Sai confessed. Ino chuckled and grabbed his hand. "You should've just told me it was going to be a date."
"I didn't know how to ask you out. I even read a book about it, but I didn't think it was good enough." Sai says.
'Always be yourself. You want the girl to like you for you, not a fake personality'.
That was what Sai read in a book. Saying what's on his mind is what Sai thinks as 'being himself'.
"Well? What are we waiting around for? Lets go!" Ino says enthusiastically. She turns around and drags the male, not noticing the smile on his face.
