Chapter 1: Detention!

Shikamaru was just sitting there minding his own business. All he was doing was simply writing a four page essay on the War of Independence when a life changing event occurred.

Yes, in just a few seconds, Shikamaru's life was going to change dramatically.

And the thing that started it all was a piece of paper. An innocent little piece of paper that was thrown across the room and managed to hit his head.

Of course, being the curious type, Shikamaru decided that he would open the paper and try and figure out what it meant.

Inside, was a sentence written by hand by one of the girls that sat near him. It had been aimed at the girl who sat to his left but had hit him by accident.

The note read:"Temari, who do you like?"

He just sighed, and wondered what to do with it. 'I could chuck it in the trash…but maybe, to girls, this is an important message. I could give it to the Temari girl…but, then again, which one is Temari?'

"You didn't have to read it, you know." a girl hissed at him.

'So that's Temari…'

"You shouldn't have written it in the first place." he mumbled back, keeping a watchful eye on the teacher.

"You idiot." she replied, chucking another note. He stared at her in disbelief. All he had done was read a note that had hit his head! He could have told the teacher. Why did all the popular girls have to be so rude?

Temari stared at her notebook. It was empty. All she had ever done in it was doodle. Then, she glanced at the geek's table. He had just finished his third page of writing and was moving onto his fourth and final page!

"Hey, you. Geek." she whispered to him. He tried to ignore her but she knew he could hear. "What are we supposed to be doing, exactly?"

He turned to face her. His mouth agape. "What the hell? The teacher rambled on about the assignment for over thirty minutes! And you weren't listening for all of that?"

"Just tell me what to do."

"Why should I?"

"Just tell me what to do!"

"Nara Shikamaru! Sabaku No Temari! Be Quiet!" The silver haired History teacher made his way over to the disruptive pair reading all the way. "What's this?" he picked up the note that still lay on Shikamaru's desk and read it aloud to the class. "Temari, who do you like…hmmm." he raised an eyebrow at Shikamaru who blushed. Did Kakashi-sensei actually think that he wrote that note?

'Great.'

'Total humiliation.' Shikamaru thought.

"As you know, there is no passing notes in class. I'm afraid it's a detention for both of you. I'm disappointed, Shikamaru."

'No, make that total humiliation and a detention.'

He sat there chewing his pen as he stared at an extra equation his maths teacher, Asuma sensei, had given him. He hated extra homework but his teachers were always pushing him…especially Asuma.

He glanced at Temari. Unlike him, she wasn't doing anything. She was just drumming her fingers against the table. Her gaze was directed to the clock but every now and then she would glance sideways at him and secretly wonder if she should be doing homework too.

Soon the clock reached five o'clock and Temari immediately shouted out "Sensei, we can go now, right?"

"No, not yet…now, listen up," he replied coolly "Temari, your grades have been very bad the last couple of months and I have decided that this has to change soon…with your exams coming up and all that. So, I have decided that you should get a tutor to help you prepare for the tests-"

"But I can't afford a tutor!" she interrupted.

"I know! What I meant was that you need another student to help you out."

"Oh…who? Can I choose?" she asked hopefully.

"No. Your tutor will be Shikamaru here. He is top of the class! And, since he's here, you can start straight away!"

'Oh crap.' they both thought.

Temari trudged along to the school gates. She constantly looked around to see if her brothers were anywhere near.

She caught a glimpse of red spiky hair down the hill and immediately quickened her pace. Soon, she caught up with Shikamaru but he didn't acknowledge her presence.

"Soooo…should we start today?" she asked.

"Fine. Mine or yours?"

"Yours?"

"Fine."

"You say 'fine' a lot."

"Shut-up."

"Fine."

She imitated him perfectly.

He glanced sideways at her to see her smirking at him. 'Troublesome woman.'

"Here we are." he said. In front of him sat a huge pale blue house with a large white door. There was an enormous garden in the front and a gravel driveway leading up to a garage. On the driveway was parked a silver Mercedes 4x4.

'I didn't know this kid was rich. Wait 'till the girls hear about this!"

She followed him to the front door where he opened it and guided her in. The hall was huge. The walls and doors were white and there were black and white pictures of beaches hanging here and there. A massive staircase stood to the right. Through the hall that continued to the left, she could see a large conservatory and through the windows was the most beautiful garden.

The whole place was so clean and fresh looking. Everything looked so perfect and pristine but at the same time it still looked lived-in.

He began to point to different doors while saying quickly "Kitchen. Dining room. Dad's study. Another hallway to the conservatory, the library and the living room. Stairs…don't go up them. And the den. Get in there. I'll be with you in a minute. Okay?"

"Err…" she began.

"Just get in there and stay quiet!" he ushered her into the den and closed the door behind her.

'Look how rich he is! I mean, I know his dad owns Nara Inc. but come on!' she thought. 'I wonder what else he's hiding…'

Okay. So I don't really know about this story but I'm hoping you guys like it. I will update soon as I've already written the next chapter.

I wanted to call this Beauty And The Geek, but, when I was on holiday, I saw an advert for a show with the same name and the avoid confusion, I renamed my story...even though I really liked the origonal name...oooohhhh. T.T
