17: Thanks Dad!

Shikamaru's POV

That tutor session didn't last long.

It's not that I was looking forward to seeing and to communicate with Temari or something, but I kinda enjoy teaching too.

Shikamaru-Sensei......

It kinda has a nice ring to it....

Enough of those dream thoughts that I know will never happen, I was so bored today.

After that visit at Temari's apartment and the indirect confession she did, my mind never left her.

My thoughts were all about her, her smile, her clumsiness, her uniqueness, everything about her. To the point that I even fantasize about me and her getting married and saying our vows to each other.

Even though I like to think about her, I was still bored. I want to do something to get me thrilled or worked up.

I did say that I will definitely win or get her but what am I supposed to do now? Should I visit her and bring flowers or something? Should I confess?

These things were also present in the corner of my mind, making this genius brain of mine full.

I don't really think doing anything right now for her is good, but I'm still bored.

I know I mostly just slack off and sleep all day, but I want to do something today. I think I'm getting unhealthy now considering that what I do is eat, sleep and go to school. I haven't got any exercise nowadays.

My teacher also assigned some homeworks and projects to do but I already finished them. It's not like they were too easy.....

Anything that would just pop up would be really great right now.

Even if it's the annoying Naruto, I won't hesitate to go with him. Yes, that's how deep my boredom is right now.

I was chanting softly, "please let something come up, please let something come up..." hoping that someone would save me from my boredom.

Then to my luck, as if my wish was granted, my phone vibrated and ringed, indicating a phone call.

I was beyond thankful and happy that someone was willing to save me from this situation.

I sat up, took my phone from my pocket, checking the caller's ID.

But my happiness suddenly dropped when I saw the name of the caller.

It was my father.

My father, Shikaku Nara.

I swear, I didn't want to answer it. I would do anything else right now or die in boredom rather that listening to my father and his requests.

If you're wondering if I have a bad relationship with him, well, yes I do, I guess.

If you don't know, I'm actually the heir to the Nara Corporation. It's one of biggest and most successful companies in Konoha City. And you guessed it, my father is the CEO of the company.

And of course in the business world, making money is the most important thing. And surely building relationships and partnership with other prestigious families and companies is another important thing that my father do.

So, my father would arrange blind dates for me. The girls are from wealthy families as well of course.

And I hate that. I don't want to marry someone that I don't love truly, but I know this is important to my father. I might not admit it, I really do care about my family's dream and company.
