Chapter 1. The new school.
Temari's POV
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP!
That was my annoying excuse of an alarm clock, telling me waking me up. It was 7:00 am and it was a Monday. It's the first day of school for everyone. Especially for us. The Sabaku siblings.
We're sophmores and we used to go to Suna Academy, but for the rest of our high school years, we will be attending Konoha High. I didn't want to go. It would be too difficult to make new friends, considering that we have no idea what the people here are like. Also, I'm not really good at making new friends. Me and my two brothers were not really the type of people to be friendly towards others. I would blame the students that go to Suna for that. The boys there were annoying, even those stupid fangirls. The fangirls there were like leeches. I would know cause my two brothers were one of the guys that those fangirls chased around. Those things would stalk them every day, make clubs about them, and they all scream when they see them. I don't know why those girls would chase after them, not that my brothers weren't attractive or anything, its just that Gaara and Kankuro don't really know or talked to any of them. It doesn't make sense for those leeches to create a fanclub about them. It's just weird and if the students from Suna Academy was like that, then I'm sure as hell that people from Konoha will be just the same.
Other than that, my life in Suna was okay. The work was easy, the school was average sized, and there wasn't really that many students. But no. Our dad just had to get us to do the exam for the new school , a difficult exam at that, and we passed. Thus saying that we were qualified in entering the school. Our dad was so overjoyed that he bought us a big and expensive apartment in Konoha to live in until we graduated. He said that he was only doing this because he "cared about our future". My ass old man. It was more like trying to get us out of the house early.
Our father worked as the principle for Suna Academy. That would explain how he got us the fancy bedrooms with bathrooms and a walk in closet inside. He was rich, that was true, but I never really did ask him for money. It wasn't like I was scared to ask or anything like that, I just prefer to get things my own way without anyones help.
Say, come to think of it, maybe THAT'S why those fangirls created clubs about Gaara and Kankuro. Since we were related to the principle, the teachers would give us some slack, and if those freaks were friends with us, then they would be given some slack as well. I guess maybe that's the reason...
BEEP ! BEEP ! BEEEEEP !
damn it , does that clock ever SHUT UP!?
I turned and covered my head in my pillow silently hoping that the beeping would stop. When it didn't, I took the pillow off, grabbed the alarm, and threw it to the wall across the room. Silence. I smiled triumphantly and made my way to the kitchen.
Time to wake the boys up. I smiled evily and grabbed a pan and an oversized spoon.
I came to the two rooms where Gaara and Kankuro were sleeping and began banging the pan and spoon together.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
I heard a THUD on Kankuros side of the room and I stopped. The two boys emerged from their rooms and glared at me.
" THE FUCK TEMARI!? WE WERE TRYING TO SLEEP! "
" Yes. I know. Why do you think I'm whacking a pan and spoon together? "
" To wake us up?" Kankuro answered dumbly
" You're a dobe Kankuro " Gaara stated rubbing his temples
" HEY! "
- sigh - " Kankuro, Gaara get ready for school. I'm cooking breakfast after I'm done changing so be in the kitchen by 7:20 "
" yes ma'am ! " Kankuro mocked a salute, and went to the bathroom.
Gaara just nodded his head and went to his bathroom as well.
I walked away to my room after returning the pan and spoon to wear they originally belonged. I grabbed the uniform that the school sent us and walked into the bathroom. I quickly brushed my teeth, took a shower, and changed into my uniform. The uniform consisted of a white button up with its sleeves that reached below the elbow. The sleeve had a button on it and I decided to just keep it loose and rolled it up a little until it hung abit loosely above my elbow. It also had a dark plaid tie that I wore loosely around my neck. There was also a matching plaid skirt in a lighter tone of green. It was kinda short so it hung over 6 inches above my knee. I also wore high socks that reached below my knee and black shoes. I tied my blonde and messy hair into 4 pony tails and walked out of my room to the kitchen.
It was only 7:13 so I had enough time to cook bacon, egg, pancake, and some hash brown. The boys walked into the kitchen and we ate all the food standing up in front of the counter. We always do this. It was normal for us to eat like this since we didn't really like eating on the table. Too much formality. And plus, we eat faster this way since it was a 15 minute walk from our place to school. The school started at around 8:30 but we were supposed to be in our homerooms by 8:15. At lease, that was what the flier said. So we had to leave home pretty early.
Once we were done, dumped the dishes into the sink and left for school. I examined my brothers uniform on our way to school. Gaaras uniform consisted of a button up white long sleeve that reached his wrists but he rolled it up till it reached below his elbow. There was a leaf-green tie hanging loosely around his neck, but not so loose like mines, just looser. He also wore black jeans and black shoes. His eye's still had its black rings around him. That birthmark looked darker than any other birthmark which was strangely weird. I turned my head to look at Kankuro who was wearing his uniform that looked exactly like Gaara.
It's pretty funny. People would never really think that we were siblings since our hair color were so different from each other. That was probably one of the weirdest qualities about us. We had the same mom and dad but we had different colored hair and also had different facial features.
When we finally arrived at the giganatic school, the first thing I noticed was the considerable field. It looked like the size of 3 football fields . There was a wide sidewalk in the middle that seperated the field and had trees on the each side of the sidewalk. The trees weren't as close together, but far enough from each other to let their shadows touch. Ahead, there were six 3 story buildings and a big gym. The buildings had a light green and white color. The buildings were big but not as big as the one in the middle. The building in the middle had the school name on top of the electric powered moving door. The sidewalk seemed to have stopped in front the big building because the other sidewalks that were attached to the wide one seemed to go to the other buildings or parking lot.
I guess that big building In the middle must be the main building. The office should be there…
We approached the main building . While we walked on the wide sidewalk, I couldn't help but stare at all the students walking around. They all wore the same uniforms as us and they all seemed to be with a group.
" Damn, this place has a lot more students than Suna eh Gaara? " Kankuro asked the red-head
" I guess.."
When we entered the building, we asked a man with white hair that wore a mask that covered the lower half of his face where the office was. He pointed to a direction and left while taking out an orange book. I took a peek at the title on the cover while he walked away and sweat-dropped.
" That dude's weird. Who wears a mask to school? " Kankuro said to me
" Clean freaks. But after seeing the title of the book, I'm starting to think that he isn't clean at all."
" What was the title?"
" Icha Icha paradise" I shuddered
" Hn, probably uses the mask to cover his nosebleed " Gaara said
Me and Kankuro looked at each other, to Gaara, to the perverted man, and back to each other again. Then, we started laughing.
" Good one Gaara! I must say, you're getting kinda good at cracking jokes. " Kankuro said in between laughs.
" that was a joke? " Gaara looked at Kankuro in a confused face. Kankuro just patted Gaara on the back and we continued to our destination.
Once we arrived and opened the door, we saw stacks of papers on the table. The person behind the stacks of papers was a lady. She wore a clean business suit with her blonde hair tied up into two low pigtails. The lady looked up from her paper work and stared at us.
" Are you the Sabaku siblings? " She asked. We all nodded.
" Welcome to Konoha High . My name is Tsunade and I am the principle of this school. " Tsunade smiled and continued. " I've seen just how smart you three are and I can also see from the test results that Temari's the smartest out of you three. " She said while looking at me.
" My assistant Shizune will give you your requirements for the classes as well as your schedule. She's in the library. It's the building on the right from here. It should have a label on it so you can't miss it. Are there any questions?"
" No Tsunade-shishou " we said together.
" All right, you may go. "
We bowed and left. When we exited the building, we went straight to the library. The library was big. And by big, I mean BIG. There were stairs inside that reached all the way up to the third floor. The windows were 6 feet wide and was only 4 feet above the ground. The windows were clear and it wasn't the kind of window that would open. It was just one big clear glass. That was why it was air conditioned. The books were placed inside a 5 column high book shelf. And there were ladders somewhere among the shelves. We saw a lady with short black hair walking towards us. She was in the same suit as Tsunade but it was in a darker color.
" Ohayo ! You must be the Sabaku siblings yes? " The lady asked in a benign voice. We nodded our head and she smiled " Here are your books and your schedule. I'm Shizune by the way"
The principles assistant gave each of us 4 books. One for science, math, social studys and english. On top of the stack of each of our books were our schedule which also had the map of the school in the back. There was an arrow that was pointing to a location on the map that said " Locker " and a code right next to it. After memorizing the code, I flipped my paper over to looked at my schedule:
A/A: Kakashi. Room C214
Per.1: Math. Genma. Room C302
Per.2: Social Studys. Kakashi. Room C214
Per.3: Tech class. Iruka . Room E107
Per.4: Science. Shizune. Room B218
Per.5: English. Asuma. Room A310
Per. 6: P.E. Gai. Gym
" Shizune-sensei, you teach Science? I thought you were the principles assistant " Kankuro said
" Hai. I'm only gonna be the Science teacher for about a year or two until they find another replacement "
"oh"
" Alright, I will be going back to class now. If you need anything or have questions, feel free to ask a student. Okay? Okay. Bye now and good luck finding your classes! " Shizune said quickly walking away waving.
We waved back and left a little while after. Once we were out of the library we went our separate ways, carrying the stack of heavy books. We had different schedules and a different homeroom so we wouldn't be seeing each other as much.
While walking to my homeroom, I suddenly noticed that the books were getting slippery. I struggled to keep the books in place, focusing on the books rather than where I was walking. That was when someone bumped into me. I lost my balance and fell down. The people in the hallways didn't bother to help me up so I got up on my own. Once I was up, I noticed that my books were scattered everywhere and the person that caused the chaos was still lying down rubbing his head.
" Watch where you're going !" I yelled at the boy.
" Sorry " He mumbled getting up. The boy had black hair that he wore in a high pony tail. It highly resembled a pineapple. His eyes were dark brown and half lidded like he was going to fall asleep. The uniform that he wore was crumpled and only one half of his shirt was tucked in while the other half was out. His leaf green tie hung loosely over his neck, just like mine, and he wore studded silver earrings.
Jeez, he looks like he just got out of bed. Either that or maybe he's one of those lazy guys that don't bother about how they look at school.
" whatever " I grumbled mentally shaking my houghts away. " Just help me get my books together."
" Troublesome " The boy looked at the mess, sighed and kneeled down beside me. Once I got all my books together, I stood up and started walking to the direction of my locker.
" wait " the boy said. I stopped and turned so that I could face him. " Let me help you "
" why? You look too lazy to even lift a finger." I scoffed
" that's true, but it's the least I could do after bumping into you and making you drop all your books "
I paused for a moment and slowly gave him half the stack of my books. Once it was balanced between his hands, we walked down the hall way to the location of my locker.
We finally arrived at my locker after a long moment of awkward silence. I placed my books inside the locker and closed it. When I turned around, I noticed that he was still there.
" May I help you? " I asked in mocked politeness
" I'm Shikamaru Nara " the boy said holding out his hand " Sorry again for bumping into you."
I stared at his hand and looked back up to his face.
" It's okay. I'm Temari Sabaku No." I took his hand and he smiled.
Wow, who would've thought that this dudes smile was so attractive?. Wait. Did I just say that his smile looked attractive? Crap. I had to keep myself from blushing so I flashed him one of the smiles that I hardly wore in front of people. When I saw his cheeks turning into a light pink I smirked triumphantly and let go of his hand.
" I didn't know you could blush pineapple head " I said teasingly. That seemed to turn his light pinked cheek into crimson red.
" Tch, troublesome woman don't call me that. you're a pineapple head too you know" Shikamaru said pointing to my 4 ponytails.
" whatever. Who do you have for homeroom?"
" Kakashi-sensei. You?"
" I have him too."
" Alright let's go. The bells gonna ring soon."
With that, we left to our homeroom walking side by side. This time, the walk wasn't so awkward but it was still silent. When we arrived to our homeroom, we were immediately greeted by dozens of fangirls that surrounded Shikamaru.
" Wow Nara, you seem to be pretty popular here eh? " I smirked
" Watever just-ugh" he pushed a fangirl that was gripping onto his arm away. " help me with these things!"
I rolled my eyes. " Alright. Hey girls! I heard Tsunade-shishou talking to Shizune-sensei about a race!" The girls didn't stop. I said the next part even louder. " She said that the first 3 girls that arrive at her office will get to be qualified for a free trip to the spa! "
The fangirls finally stopped, looked at me and released their grip on Shikamaru and sprinted to the direction of Tsunade's office. I stared at the girls until they were out of sight and turned my head to look at Shikamaru.
" Thanks. " he mumbled
" You're welcome. So uh, are there any other boys here that get molested by fangirls?"
Shikamaru shuddered and nodded his head. I was about to ask who until I was inturrupted by a sudden yell across the room.
"OI! SHIKAMARUUU!" Shikamaru and I turned our heads to see a boy with spiked up blonde hair walking to us waving. He had sky blue eyes and 3 whiskers on each side of his cheek. When he was finally in front of us he looked at me as if it was only now that he noticed that I was there.
" Eh Shikamaru, who's this?" He said pointing a finger at me
" Naruto, this is Temari, she's new here. Temari, meet Naruto."
"Nice to meet you!" Naruto said as he put both arms behind his head. I nodded. "Come on! Let me show you to the group dattebayo!" Naruto said as he grabbed my wrist and began to drag me to where a bunch of boys were sitting.
"uhh okay?" I said as we neared the group. There were 5 boys. 3 were sitting on the table and the other two were sitting on a seat. They all stopped their conversation to look at me being dragged by Naruto.
"Hey you guys! This is the new student Temari." Naruto smiled
"Ohayo Temari-chan! I'm Kiba" a boy with brown short hair with red faice paint on his cheek spoke. He was sitting on the desk along with two other boys. I nodded a little.
"Sasuke" the raven haired boy on the right to Kiba said.
"Neji" the lavender eyed boy with long hair said . He was sitting next to Sasuke. " You look awfully familiar..." He said as he looked at me up and down.
"Urr thanks?" I said as I shifted my feet uncomfortably.
"Hello! I'm Chouji!" munched a corpulent boy with red swirls on his cheek. He was eatting some BBQ chips and was happily munching away.
"Hi. My name is Sai." the boy with straight black hair said with a smile on his face. He was sitting next to Chouji.
"And that's everyone" Shikamaru said as he appeared next to me
"Nice to meet you all." I said smiling half-heartedly.
RIIING! The bell rang. I looked around for an open seat to sit in but saw that most of them were already taken except for the seat by the window behind Shikamaru. I took the seat and patiently waited for the teacher to come.
-10 minutes later-
"Shikamaru, where's the teacher? we only have 5 more minutes of homeroom left." I said poking his back
"I don't know" Shikamaru replied yawning.
" Hello class. Sorry I'm late. I was busy helping a poor cat that got stuck on a tree" the same man with the mask and white hair said. His eyes were chunked together to show that he was smiling.
" LIES! " Naruto exclaimed. The white haired man chuckled nervously as he made his way to the front of the class.
" My name is Kakashi Hatake, but you can call me Kakashi-sensei. Welcome back to Konoha High School and no, there will be no seating arrangments." He answered a girl who was raising her hand up. The girl put her hand back down and squealed to the girl next to her.
" We have a new student here and she's from Suna Academy. Would you come up here please?" Kakashi nodded to me. I stood up and walked to the front. I could feel everyones gaze digging into my back.
"Hello. I'm Temari Sabaku No." I said monotonously when I reached the front.
I am REALLY hating this right now. I thought to myself sullenly. I bowed then went back to my seat.
"Alright class" Kakashi said, but before he could finish his sentence, he was cut off by the ringing of the bell. "Huh, okay. You may all go"
Everyone stood up and quickly made their way to the front door.
Hopefully I won't be introducing myself on my class.I thought while I walked to the direction of my first period.
A/N: WHAT!? Why does Neji think that he's seen Temari before?! The answer to that question lies in the 2nd chapter of the story. LOL Anyways, First Chapters doone! *happy dance* LOL , I hope you guys liked it! This is the first fanfiction that I have ever typed up and I did my best to add some funny parts and some ShikaTema moments. Please review and tell me what I did wrong so I can try to fix it. I feel as if I'm making some of the characters a bit OOC d; so let me know if I am. Or, if you're completley fine with the characters personality, you can just review and tell me what you think about the story so far. I'm also making the rest of the story in 3rd person (a.k.a Normal P.O.V). I'll try and make some of the chapters in one of the characters P.O.V when I get the chance. One last thing, the schedule's gonna be three periods a day. so on monday, it'll be like AA then PER.1 then RECESS then PER.2 then LUNCH and lastely PER.3. Then the next day would start with PER.5 after AA. AA's Homeroom by the way. If you're confused with the 1st chapter and the summary, just read on. It'll make more sense once you read chapter 2. Don't forget to review my fellow readers! :D
