Hey there! This is the first chapter of my first story here, so please have mercy with me. ^-^
Oh and can someone please tell me how to make these lines? It don't really get it...
(imagine invisible line here...)
Sins and Sunshine
Chapter 1: The new one
Tic tic tic...
In silence I watched the clock on the wall in front of me while standing in the hallway of my new school. The teacher told me to wait here till he gives me the signal to come in. Does he want me to make an dramatic entrance or what?
"Good morning class. From today on we have a new transfer student. She just recently moved to Konoha so please get along with her.", I heard Iruka-sensei announcing to my new class.
I thought that was my cue to enter and so I did.
The classroom was bright thanks to the windows that make out the whole length of the wall.
I was standing there starring for quite a while so everyone began to whisper.
"Would you introduce yourself to the class please?", Iruka-sensei asked. I looked up to him realizing that I've been zoning out.
"Uh, sure." I said then turned to my new class.
"My name's Takanaki Minari. Nice to meet you."
"Good, Minari-chan. Now, please take a seat so I can start classes.", Iruka said.
I skipped to an empty seat next to a boy with brown hair and tattoos on this face looking like fangs. Oh and a cute little puppy was sticking out its head from his shirt.
After I sat down the boy began grinning at me.
"Hey, I'm Kiba and that's my friend Akamaru.", he introduced himself and the little puppy.
"If you have any questions just ask me but if it's about school I can't help you, I don't get it myself."
I giggled and wanted to respond but a piece of chalk hit Kiba's head.
"It's nice that you two get along but please wait with talking until classes are over.", Iruka-sensei scolded us. Well actually just Kiba because I didn't say anything... yet.
The boy gave me a broad grin which I replied with a sweet smile.
–I moved to Konohagakure just a few days ago and got a little apartment that was provided by the Hokage. I originally lived in Sunagakure but had to move away because of... certain circumstances... Yeah that describes it quite well. However, the Hokage told me to attend the ninja academy cause there are most kids of my age and this way it would be easier for me to live alone. –
"Minari! You listening?"
Kiba poked me in the side and I snapped out of my thoughts just to look in the annoyed face of my sensei.
"Because it's your first day at school I let you get away this time. But I demand your full attention from now on!", Iruka-sensei scolded me.
"Yes Sir.", I said lazily not caring at all. This won't be the last time I'll zone out so why bother?
Snickering was coming from the other students and the sensei glared at them so they shut up.
(another invisible line)
Finally break...
"Come Minari-chan, I'll introduce you to the others!", Kiba told me and happily pulled me to a group of boys who were standing in the hallway and doing stuff.
"Hey guys, this is Minari-chan my new friend!"
"We know. We're in the same class, remember?", a annoyed looking guy with black hair looking like a pineapple said.
"I'm Shikamaru.", he than said to me.
"I'm Naruto! I'll become the next Hokage, believe it!", a blonde dude with whiskers like stripes on his cheeks yelled. My poor ears!
"I'm Choji.", a big guy said while shoving chips in his mouth.
"... Shino.", a guy with sunglasses and a high collar said referring to himself, I guess. Not easy to tell when one can't see his face.
"Hey, guys." I greeted them happily.
"Ne, ne, Minari-chan. Where did you live before?", Naruto asked.
"In Suna. If you want to know more details, take it that you won't receive any answers.", I answered pointing out that I don't like to think or talk about my past.
"Uhhh... Let's show you around!", Kiba decided to hide the fact that he didn't quite understand what I just meant.
The tour was rather short. They just showed me where the toilets and the different classrooms were. After that we went up a few staircases till we reached the roof.
It was nice out here. I clung to the fence that enclosed the roof area and awed at the view I had from here. The school building wasn't this big but from here you could overlook the whole training grounds of the academy.
I went back to the others who were sitting on the flour chatting/eating/sleeping/doing nothing, depending on the person.
Rest of the break time I talked to Shikamaru, Choji and Shino or laughed at Naruto and Kiba, who tried to balance on the fence but failed miserably which resulted with both of them almost falling from the roof. This fence isn't there just for fun, guys.
(invisible line...)
Back in class...
Iruka told us something about Chakra that seemed important and would appear in the next test, so I did what every average lazy student did: not listening and instead zoning out!
For my first day I got many friends. Not bad, I guess. But for some reason they are all male... Time to get female friends!
I starred at all the girls in class but my vision got stuck on a certain pink haired girl that was sitting in the row in front of me.
Is that colour real? Why would any halfway reasonable ninja want an outstanding hair colour like that? And what is she looking at all along in the first place?
Only now I realized that all the girls were looking in a certain direction, or more exactly to a certain someone.
In the last row on the window side sat a black-haired boy whose hair oddly resembled a duck butt. He was starring out of the window. Oh let me correct that, he was glaring out of it!
Why was he glaring like this? Was something out of the window that angered him so much to deserve a death glare like that?
I looked for this something but couldn't see anything except for a few clouds and leafs dancing in the wind. But they couldn't be this bad, right?
So I went back to stare at the boy. He turned around and glared me dead in the eye. I kept starring back because I didn't want to let him the triumph of me looking away. So we started a little stare-contest. He glowering at me and I simply starring at him.
After about 5 minutes non-stop starring he che-ed and started again to glare out of the window. Does that mean I won? Yay!
As I turned back I saw Kiba giving me a strange look.
"What?"
"What was that just now?"
"A starring-contest?", I asked/answered because I wasn't so sure about it myself.
"Why?"
"Dunno. Because it's fun?" I looked again at the black-haired boy and back to my friend.
"By the way. Who is he?"
"Uchiha Sasuke. Why? You fallen for him?"
"Why should I?"
"Because all the girls do?"
"Why?"
"I wished I knew that.", he sighed and looked back to the front.
I did the same because Iruka-sensei glared at us again.
I wondered why every girl had fallen for this Sasuke-guy. Sure he doesn't look bad but his hair looks like a duck butt and he's glaring all the time and he doesn't seem to be the talkative type... Well whatever. Nothing I would care about.
(look at my awesome invisible line!)
After school...
The school bell rang. I said goodbye to my friends and turned the way where my new apartment was.
Behind me advanced foot steps at high speed and as I looked around the last thing I could see was an orange speck before I got tackled to the ground.
"Minari-chan! It seems we live in the same direction!", a hyper Naruto announced happily.
"Looks like it. Can you get off of me now? It's hard to breathe with you on top of me.", I brought out gasping for air.
"Oh sorry." Quickly he stood up and gave me his hand to pull me up.
During the way home Naruto showed me a few places of Konoha, among them the supermarket, the Onsen, the stonefaces of the Hokages and Ichirakku's Ramen who sells – according to Naruto – the best Ramen of the world, believe it!
Then we found out the two of us don't just live in the same direction but even the same building. My apartment is straight under his.
He brought me to the door and asked me if we should go eat something together, but – as much as I love food for free – I turned him down.
Instead I took a long restorative shower to relieve the stress from today.
I rubbed my short light brown hair dry and gazed at my hazelnut-brown eyes in the mirror, still sparkling from today's events.
I never thought my first day of school would be this fun!
I put on a short yellow kimono and decided to go for a little walk.
It was already 7 pm and the sun was setting. On the streets were few to none people so I couldn't run into anyone. This way I could zone out without paying attention where I was going. Yay!
The cool evening air felt nice on my still hot skin from the shower. Lost in thoughts I watched the clouds tinted in red and gold from the sunset. An eagle flew over the roofs of the buildings. Cute birdy...
WAM!
"Ow, damn! Who put that lamp pole in my way?", I cursed and rubbed my hurting nose.
I heard a 'Che' and looked up to see Sasuke on the other side of the street derisively glaring at me than disappearing into a side street.
Why of all times does this happen when someone's around? And why is he even here? Won't his parents get angry at him if he stays out this long?
However, after that I went home. How can a day start this good and end up with something embarrassing like that?
I dressed into a pyjama and went to bed. Will tomorrow be as exciting as today? With this thought I drifted into a long nice sleep...
Well this was the first day of my new life here in Konoha...
(seriously: how do i do this hrozontal line?)
