The Boys Next Door

Drag? No.

Sammy's POV

"Sammy you ready?" Sasuke sighed as I frantically pulled on some comfortable clothing. School was over and I was in desperate need of something other than flats.

I threw on a black tank top, white crop top, jeans, and sneakers, then I grabbed the jacket Sasuke gave me from the movies and pulled it on before scurrying to my boyfriend. "Yup! Who am I meeting?"

"You'll see, you still have that?" He asked locking his pinkie with mine.

I nod as he leads me to the roof, it was chilly but the snow wasn't on the roof and spring was just around the corner. I notice their were two boys, one munching on potato chips and the other laying down looking at the sky.

The wider one that was eating I recognize as Choji, the other one Shikamaru. I saw both at the party where Sasuke and I first realized our feelings for each other but I never really spoke to them. "Oh hey Sasuke!" Choji yelling his voice muffled my chips.

"Guys id like you to meet my girlfriend Sammy, she's sweet, shy, and chill...most of the time...I think you'd like her as a friend." He made the last part as clear as day. "I was wondering if she could tag along with you today, she don't got many friends." Shikamaru looked up at me and gave me a lazy smile.

"Cool, new friend...sure she hang, we don't do much if you don't mind Sammy activities can be such a drag."

"Okay!" I say happily "thanks Sasuke!" I kiss the Uchihas cheek and run over to the boys.

I lay next to Shikamaru and look at the sky. He explained how he wished he could be a cloud sometimes, how they don't have responsibilities they just follow the wind moving at a steady pace.

"Want chips?" Choji asked offering me the bag of BBQ chips. Smiling I took one piece and chomped a small bite.

"Thanks! These are some of my favorites, though my absolute fav is plain potato chips!" I say as Choji dumps the last bit in his mouth.

"Your not on a diet? The how skinny you are youd think your starving your self!"

"Nah, why waste such good food eh? And my skinniness I don't know why, I try to get a little more meat on my bones but it doesn't work." I say shrugging. Shikamaru sits up and looks at me.

"I think the Three of us will be good friends," he stated a smile plastered on his face. "So Sammy any deep thoughts you think about?"

"Yah, why are we on earth? Are we supposed to make it better? If we are were failing, with global warming, and other bad things. Or is their life on another planet? Smarter, more careful than us? Why are we here? That's my question. My quest, my life." I say resting my arms on my knees and my head on my arms.

"Hm...never thought about that before?"

"I don't understand anything your talking about...wanna get dinner?" Choji asked helping me up. I smile at the boys.

"Yah! My treat!" I say excitedly.

"No no no, it was my idea my treat." Choji protests.

"I'll pay, Choji did it last time." Shikamaru lazily commented.

"No your letting me tag along I'm paying!" I whine my blonde hair falling in my face.

"How about we all pay, split it three ways!" Shikamaru mumbles.

"Fine!" Choji and I mumble as we made our way to the stairs and then to the closest restaurant. I think we will be great friends!

"I'll pay tip!" I scream sprinting ahead.

Kat's POV

I shoved my hands in my pocket as I walked down the sidewalk. A short redhead walked beside me, not peeping a word. A blonde walked on the other side of me, blabbing on about how art is an explosion.

We soon got to the restaurant that we had planned to go, seeing a familiar face running towards me. I smiled, running up to her.

"Kat! I didn't know you'd be here!" She cheered.

"Well, I didn't know you'd be here too." I looked behind her to see Choji and Shikamaru coming up behind her. "Sasuke do it?" I asked. She nodded.

"Hey, Katherine. What are you doing un? The restaurant is right here." Deidara said. Sammy looked behind me, peering at the two. I gave a nervous smile.

"Sammy, this is Deidara." I pointed to the blonde. "And Sasori." I pointed to the red head.

"Whatever un. Let's just go eat already." Deidara whined, walking into the restaurant. We all walked in after him, grabbing a table and searching the menus. We got the circular booth, at least fitting 2 more people.

"KAT!" I looked to see a familiar blonde with 4 ponytails bouncing towards me. She was dragging her brother along side her by the ear. I guess he made her mad again.

"Hey Temari!!" I cheered. She and her brother sat down next to me, Temari on the inside. "What did Kankurō do now?" I asked.

"OMG! You would not believe! He first complains on me dragging him around the mall, then disses me on my fashion sense." I gave Kankurō and evil glare, knowing Temari is sensitive to her personal style. I rolled my eyes, seeing the waiter come over.

Shikamarus POV

We ordered our food, it was pretty fun watching Sammy and Choji battle and Sammy stealing the last piece making Chini both mad and confused, he looked like a tomato! Konkurō didn't looked pleased they've here and Tamari was all to happy.

Sammy ended up stealing the check to pay and tip. I wish that would've been me because now I feel bad. Kat shrugged it off saying "eh free lunch is free lunch," and walked off laughing.

"Thanks for lunch," I said smiling at Sammy.

"No thanks for letting me tag along!" She replied waving and sprinting off with her friend, I stared at Tamari for a second giving her a sweet smile before running home with Choji. Man today was not a drag.
