Temari's POV

It's finally the third and last day of the field trip to Kiri City. This day is all to us. We can do anything we want. Either just stay at the inn to slack off, or roam around Kiri and enjoy yourself.

Most students, of course chose to roam around Kiri. This is a given opportunity to us to relieve some pressure and stress that school is giving us. This is another chance for people to confess or make friends with other people.

Which is what Naruto did yesterday. He confessed to Hinata and they started going out. I honestly thought that Naruto will be forever considered an idiot for not noticing Hinata's feelings for him. Even at the first day of college, I noticed immediately that Hinata likes Naruto. Well I don't really know how long they already knew each other before entering college, but I can already tell that Hinata liked Naruto for a long time already. Naruto was an idiot for not noticing her feelings and kept her hanging.

Anyways, we are already in the bus. Sensei said he will be going to an onsen to enjoy his time so he also came with us. I actually don't know where to go, but I hope my group members already have plans in their mind so I can just tag along and follow them. I don't mind going with them. In fact, I actually enjoy it. It's better than going alone without anyone to talk to. There are so many tourist attractions here in Kiri and I don't really have a particular place in mind that I want to go to. I just want to enjoy this given time to rest and relax. Because after this, we will be going back to school again. And that is, like, THE WORST.

I've thought too much that I didn't notice that we are already here. We went out the bus and met up with our group members.

"This is gonna be our meeting place when we're going back. I have the leader's numbers so I'll call them if anything happens that we need to come back earlier. But we will meet up here at 1:00 P.M and head back to the inn to pick up our things. After that, we will board the bus again to finally go back to Konoha. That's all, enjoy yourselves now." Kakashi Sensei finished. Everyone left in groups and went to different directions. We went to a different park this time. We agreed to go there because rumors say that the park was fantastic. We walked to go to the park. We would talk and buy food from stalls along the sidewalk from time to time.

We finally arrived at the said park. It was, indeed fantastic. It has giant trees that shades the place. It has bushes with flowers, a big grass field for picnics, the wind was humid and perfect, and benches, seats and kiosks are scattered around. The place was clean. People were properly following the rules and are not littering around.

We decided to separate and explore the place by ourselves. Of course, the two couples went together leaving me and Shikamaru alone. I don't really mind being with him. It's just, I sometimes get nervous being around or with him.

We saw a little garden with steel fences surrounding the flowers to prevent people from picking them. I took a look at it and examine the flowers planted in it. There were a variety of natural colored flowers like yellow bells, rose bush, and many more planted creating a colorful view.

Shikamaru was there, sitting on one of the benches yawning.

"Hey! You need to walk around! Enjoy your free time by walking instead of slacking off! Get yo ass up pineapple head!" I told him while grabbing his wrist and tugging him to stand up.

He finally stood up and streached his muscles.

"It's a drag, but might as well..."

We walked around and saw an ice cream stall. We bought ice creams and sat down on a kiosk under a tree. We sat there in silence, enjoying the wind and the ice cream. Shikamaru was looking sideways. I got a good look at his fine nose and perfect jawline. I, honestly, think he looks handsome. He's just lazy and complains all the time.
