The Grumpy Jerk

Chapter 48

I just got finished my rehearsals at the club. Luckily, it's finished early. Chocho was waiting for me at the campus gates.

"Chocho!" I call out to her. She waves back when she notices me.

"You're early today," she says and I nod.

"Boruto told me that he has an important thing to do so he can't walk you home. So, I am going home with you today," she explains.

Well, they don't need to wait or walk me home though.

"You don't have to worry about me," I tell her while we are walking our way home.

"Hey, do you already have something to wear for Yodo's birthday?" she asks. Oh, yeah. That's the day after tomorrow.

"It actually slipped my mind. I don't think I have a gown or anything at home," I say.

"Good grief!" she exclaims.

"What do you mean?" I say in a confused tone.

"I have plenty of gowns at home. Granny used to be a dressmaker back in the day," she tells.

"Amazing," I utter.

"Let's look for our outfit tomorrow after class," she says and I nod.

I don't think gowns suit me well...

"You have to make sure that you will come tomorrow. I told my parent that you all will come and for your information, I have a very special guest. I'm pretty sure you would not miss it," Yodo tells the class.

"We are very excited to attend your birthday party, Yodo," Namida says in excitement.

"To be honest, I still don't have something to wear yet," Wasabi tells her.

"Don't worry about it, Wasabi. I have plenty of gowns at home. You can borrow one anyway," Namida offers. Wasabi looks so happy about Namida's offer.

"Thank you, Namida," she tells her and Namida gives her a nod.

"And boys, make sure to come, okay? Especially you Kawaki," she points at Kawaki. But the jerk did not respond but kept his stares outside the window.

"A very special guest?" I mutter.

"Are you curious too?" Chocho asks.

"Yeah," I reply.

After class, we head straight to Chocho's house. We immediately proceed to her grandmother's room.

She rushes toward the closet and suddenly opens it. I am amazed by the gowns hanging in different colors. There is blue, red, pink, yellow, white, black and more.

"These are amazing, Chocho," I tell her while looking at them.

"What dress do you think will suit me, Sarada?" she asks. I start to think and check the gowns in front of me.

"What about this white gown?" I suggest. She tries to fit it then looks herself at the mirror.

"It looks amazing on you," I say.

"You think so?" she asks and I nod.

"I can't choose from these gowns," I say and Chocho removes them from the closet and puts them on the bed.

"Try this one," she tells me and gives me the pink gown. I try fitting it in and show it to her. She shakes her head and gives me the yellow gown. I change and try that one.

I wear the yellow gown and show it to her and she shakes her head again. This is tiring.

"They don't look good on you," she mutters and gives me the red gown. Please make it the last. It's frustrating changing gowns repeatedly.
