The Built Shell
By: Silverwolf
Sitting in the back of the lecture hall was a girl. Caramel skin and deep chocolate curls could attract attention if they could actually be seen. In an university styled high school it didn't matter even if someone appeared. The rumor was the female had no family, born to a foreigner, and a survivor of a horrid accident. That was her only attention. After that the story she'd turned to solitude. According to professors she was highly intelligent. But having a conversation with her was not happening. A pen in her mouth, highlighter in hand, and book in front of her, usually wrapped in a blanket; her usual appearance and silent.
Several pairs of eyes almost always went her way. Some to taunt her, even though they had never seen her. Others curious as to how she actually appeared under the blanket that hid her from others, and yet at the same time made her stand out from the crowd. Once in a while a worn messenger bag was in view.
Class lets out. Someone places their foot along the blanket. Books and supplies rain to the floor as the wearer falls. Everyone laughs. "You should be more careful," Sasuke snickers. The rest of the class laughs louder. Sasuke kicks the scattered school supplies farther around as he leaves. The rest of the class passes kicking the supplies a bit. A blonde is last to step towards the door. Instead of leaving a hand sets a backpack down. The boy begins to gather the stuff from the floor after offering a hand to the hidden female. "He's a bastard. Because he has money."
The girl's covered hand drops the supplies back into her bag. "I'm Naruto." The blonde barely notices a shrug and a bow. The figure in the blanket steps away in silence. Naruto stares towards the door, "Awful quiet. I guess it's better than being told to go away." Naruto notices a sketchbook along the floor. The cover is signed 'Kai'. "His name is Kai."
The blonde snatches up the book and shoves it into his backpack. He figures he could return it later in the day or tomorrow.
A/N: I know it's short. But I thought of it at the spur of the moment. I'm not sure if I'm going to make it a series or not. I'll let reviews decide that. I know I haven't said anything about what happened in the past or anything. And well everyone should know how well Naruto pays attention, so don't start on me about stating the character is a girl and Naruto stating the character is a boy... because it is a GIRL.
