A bucket with cold water made its way towards his head.
One...
Two...
Three...
''WAKE UP''
And hit down.
She ripped the sheets off the bed, opened the curtains and decided to stand near the bed until he is awaken.
A shrug, then a head popped out from under the pillow, one blink then another.
''What?'' A question was heard as a head finally made it's way to the open.
''You ARE LATE'' There was a spatula in her hand and a murderous expression plastered on her face.
''What for?'' The boy asked sitting upright in his bed.
The woman standing there pointed towards the calendar swinging on the wall.
The boy looked towards the calendar and noticed the red circle marking the 12th date in the month.
''Shit...it's today?'' He looked towards her in almost panic.
The woman just tossed some clothes towards the young boy, shoved the school bag in his hands.
''Also you're late for school, lazy boy'' She says closing the door with a bang.
''Troublesome''
Indeed it was. It was the 12th of Sept. and today He...I...me...is getting his driving license,
Also, probably detention, because he's late again, only this time wet as a cat.
He made his way down the stairs towards the kitchen; His father was already at work, and his mother was about to go, when a knock was heard on the door.
The woman made her way towards the door, asked who it was, and before opening looked around the house, just to see if she missed something while cleaning.
''Yes?'' The young boy could hear her voice from the kitchen where he got an apple to eat, because his mother tossed out his food. Troublesome woman.
He made his way towards his mothers purse and took 10$ before she noticed and made his way out of the house.
''Shikamaru dear, come here, would you please?'' She called with her public voice of the ever loving wife and mother.
An Oni, I tell you. Yoshino Nara was a demon for sure.
''Yeah'' Shikamaru stood next to his mother in his lazy stance, with his hands shoved in his pockets and his eyes almost closed, he looked towards the door where the visitors were.
Yoshino laughed and patted her son's shoulder, at least that's what you would think, but no, she diggd her nails in there,
Shikamaru new it was because he wasn't polite enough, like he cared, it was too troublesome anyways.
''These are our new neighbors Shikamaru, The Hyuuga family'' She looked at me with the biggest smile she could ever produce.
Still grabbing on to my shoulder like it was some log keeping her alive.
''Hello.'' Shikamaru just waved and wiggled his way out his mother's claws and stormed out on the street.
''Shikamaru wait, '' Yoshino called after him.
''What.'' He turned around.
''This is Hinata, she goes to the same school as you do, and you might as well show her the way.'' Yoshino pushed the girls a little towards
Shikamaru. The girl, Hinata, seemed somewhat shy. Her fingers were always twisting with etch other.
Hinata made her way, as fast she could, towards him, she said hi, he nodded his head.
Her voice was gentle, so she wouldn't be to loud, and if Shikamaru wasn't in a foul mood, he would give it a go with chatting to her, but instead, they just walked in silence.
On the way towards the school Shikamaru picked up Kiba and his dog that never left his side, Akamaru.
He introduced Hinata to him, Kiba already made a move on her, she just turned red as a tomato.
Kiba left soon after they were in school, and Hinata said she had to go to the principles office, so he was left alone.
Shikamaru went to the roof and pulled a cigarette out of his pocket and lit it up.
The first smoke of the day and Shikamaru almost died a blessed man.
''You know you shouldn't be smoking here.''
Shikamaru turned around thinking it was some snob ready to tell on him, but he was surprised to find a snob with long hair instead.
''Aha'' He turned away from the person and pulled on the cigarette.
Then a smack came and Shikamaru felt his cigar burning his finger and seeing it hit the floor not a second later.
''What's your problem woman?'' He bends down and turns the half broken cigarette.
''What is my problem? And who do you think I am, for you to call me a woman.'' The snob in front of him put his hands on his hips.
Shikamaru pointed with his burned finger towards the snob ''That stance sure isn't helping you, miss.''
Then the snob clicked his tongue and stormed away, Shikamaru shook his head and reached for a new cigarette, but the school bell beat him to it. Halfway to his classroom he saw Choji and Naruto.
Shikamaru considered those two his best friends, even though one was quite and less troublesome than the yellow head.
''Shika you stink'' Naruto made a face grabbing his nose.
''Nice to see you too ramen boy'' Choji laughed, opening a bag of potato chips while Naruto was to busy acting like a kid
and sticking his tongue out.
''You really should stop smoking Shika'' Choji said right after he stuck a hand full of chips in his mouth.
''Troublesome'' They walked towards their class ''Why is everyone on my case today, i don't even smoke that much''
Naruto looked towards Shikamaru then towards Choji.
''What you talkin' 'bout Shika, did a teach' catch you?'' He asked stealing some chips from Choji.
''Are you crazy, mom would be all over me nagging if she knew''
''Then? '' Choji asked tapping on Naruto's hand when he tried to steal another one of his precious chips.
''Some stuck up girl nagged on me on the roof just now'' They stopped in front the class when Naruto burst out laughing like a maniac.
''Let me guess, a tall, pale girl with long brown hair and a stick up her butt'' Naruto managed to say between his fits
Shikamaru looked at him ''Yeah that one, how did you know?''
Naruto chuckled ''That's no girl Shika, that's Neji Hyuga, his the new kid that got in to our school today; you brought his cousin here this morning.
Shikamaru was blank, that's a guy?
''Are you sure? ''
Naruto nodded seeing how confused Shikamaru was.
''Yeah i am. I've seen his cousin Hinata in the principal's office and he was there. I though he was a girl too at first then
Hinata told me all men in their family wear long hair, something to do with tradition, heck if i know''
Shikamaru was still in his world of thoughts that he didn't notice that Ino and Kiba have joined their little conversation.
He was finally brought back by a sharp poke to his ribs.
''Ah fuck, what?'' He asked turning around.
''Wow Shika, grumpy as ever'' Said Ino looking at him with that judge look of hers.
''Yeah hi Ino, Kiba'' He nodded towards them.
''What got his pants in a knot?'' Kiba asked, once he made his way to stand next to Naruto.
''His got trouble with a new boy girl he saw.'' Naruto said whispering something else to Kiba.
''Ohhh, you mean that stuck up kid we've seen in the P's office''
''Yeah that one Kiba, i think little Shika has a crush'' Naruto poked Shikamaru a couple of times.
Ino squealed and turned towards Shikamaru.
''Shika, are you gay?'' She asked all serious.
Oh fuck no! Hell no...
Kiba burst out laughing followed by Naruto and even Choji gave a chuckle or two.
''Are you crazy?'' Shikamaru asked her with a shocked face.
''What'' She looked around even more confused '' Didn't Naruto just say you fancy some guy'' She looked at the boy.
''Omg no, Ino do I look to you like I'm gay? ''
Seriously why are all women so annoying?
That Neji guy was annoying from the start why would he develop a crush on him. Beside the point, even if he was gay that Neji was so not his type.
