Manga club.
Chapter one - The begining of something new.
hey, i'm Naruto. everythings been twisted laterly, ever since that new kid 'Sasuke' showed up, i...can't explain it, i have just changed...and started this new feeling. i'll start from the begging...when it all happened.
"hey Naruto" Kiba yelled as i walked through the door.
"hi kiba." i said, in my usuall mono-tone voice.
"Naruto you wouldn't believe this! a new student came today, and signed up for our club!!!"
"awesome." i wasn't really that thrilled.
You see, i'm not one to get very excited or show many emotions to people, Kiba is my best friend, So he knows deep down i'm excited to see the new person. Just little things like that make kiba a good friend. Because he knows how i really feel. It's like his phsycic...creepy.
"Naruto! the best part is, he is coming to check the club out today! i can't wait!" kiba was almost bouncing of the walls, he always got so excited about every little thing.
"That's good." i replied not very enthusiastic about the whole thing.
Kiba and i went to our spot, where we sat down in the squishy been bags and talked about new manga we got, but most of the time we would talk about school and just gossip. i have to admit that i loved talking with kiba, i mostly listen to him blab on, but i guess i would perfer it to be that way.
Fortunatley for our club ten-ten had a big room for our club days. It was apart of the school, but it was a seperate room compared to teaching rooms. Ten-ten had decorated it so you could sit down and just talk where-ever you felt like it, kiba and me perfered the bean bags, while other use the weird looking chairs and so on.
"You seem a bit quite Naru, What's wrong?"
"nothing...just don't ask."
i was upset because i knew that Gakuna was coming home soon and i needed to get away from the house. I was scared, every other time he would come home, i would go to Kiba's house. but that was only for a little while cause he found out where Kiba lived. and that didn't turn out so good.
"Okay Naru, how come you not interested in any girl i try to hook you up with?"
"I don't want a girlfriend, None that you have introduce me too, have been worth my time." I said slightly flushed and embarrassed, i never liked personal questions.
"That's harsh!" Kiba suddenly gasped, then a huge smirk spred across his face. This is bad. "You like boys don't you!"
Unfortunatley everybody's head in the club room turned to Kiba and me's direction. "That was a bit loud kiba!" i said sort of whispering and slightly annoyied.
i wasn't to sure myself...but i didn't want to be with anyone. it only hurt.
That's when the new kid walked in the door. His neat schoold uniform and his bag that he lightly hung over one shoulder gave him a cool vibe. His hair done punk style, black hair with bangs straight down his face, parted in the middle and the back of his hair spiked up. Then he had a pair of glasses that made him look safistacted, Something about him intrigguided me, a mix of so many different personalitys made one that i cannot yet discribe.
Kiba imediatially got to his feet, went over to the new boy to greet him, and bought him over.
"Naru, this is Sasuke! Sasuke, this is Naruto." Kiba was smiling and looking as joyess as ever.
"hey Naruto, nice to meet you."
he looked at me with thoose pure night black eyes of his, i was to interested in them to say anything.
"Naruto's just shy Sasuke. i really hope you enjoy our club, you can sit with us if you want."
"That would be good." Sasuke gave this smile, it was very different from everybody else, to be honest everything about him is different from everybody else somehow.
KIba sat him down and went through all of the rules, and all of the usual stuff that we do.
As far a good first impressions go...his was the best.
what's with Sasuke, that's so interesting?
-----------------------------------
The next day at club. 2:40
-----------------------------------
i arrived at club my usual time, to see Kiba and Sasuke talking away. Kiba looks in my direction and notices me. He gets to his feet and practically sprints to where i am.
"Naruto! how are you?" Kiba says frantically, making it seem more like a welcome then a question.
Kiba then embrassed me into a big hug. god his annoying sometimes.
"Sasuke is really nice. I want him to sit with us untill he finds his place in the school."
"okay." i'm not too enthused with him sitting with us, he makes me feel shy and curious. i guess it's just a vibe.
yeah. i guess...
"are you sure you're okay Naruto, you've been a bit odd lately, i've noticed you get like this a couple of times during the year...it's very strange. Is something up?" kiba sounded very sympathetic and worried.
"Kiba, you're just being too observent. I'm fine." although i'm lying through my teeth, i try and make it as natural as breathing.
"mmm. i know somethings up, and sooner or later i'm going to find out."
The chances of that happening are well under yes. But i will keep that also to myself.
i walked over to our sitting area, and damn it he stole my favourite bean bag. i'm guessing he likes black.
"Hey Naruto."
"hi."
i'm so curious about him and all i can come up with is 'hi' i'm going to have to do alot better if i want to get to know him, and starting tomorrow i will try.
"Afternoon everyone! i have a new assiment for everyone." Neji basically screamed at the top of his lungs to get everybodys attention.
Everyone turned there heads. Waiting anxiously.
"Okay everyone, i have good and bad news. The bad news is, ten-ten is sick and will be off for a couple of months, she had a accident and will need to recover. so i will be taking charge for thoose months. The good news is the assiment i have picked out for all of you."
by the sounds of it, this is going to be gruleing...if neji is encharge, and in a bad mood, who knows what he will do.
"The assiment is vital, and i am going to put a time on it as well, for nerly all of you this is going to be a great oppitunity, and for others a very bad day." neji cleared his throught. " i have been emailing the manager of 'vis media' and i am able to have one manga published under the company, that's if it's any good."
My heart was starting to pund in my chest, this was a great oppitunity. My legs wouldn't stop shaking, i don't think i have ever been this excited.
"Now i have given this a twist, i have made it so that there is two people working on the one book, one will draw and one will do the storey line and sort of help out with charater discription, so on." i don't like this idea! "But you're working partners will be randomized, we will let you choose wether you want to draw or create the storey line, but i have to warn you, some of you may miss out." i think i just died! i can't work with a random partner...And i can deffentially not miss out! "If there are too many people on drawing there will be less for the storey line matter, therefore some may miss out. Please write you're names on theese peices of paper i am going to hand out, along with what you would like to do."
he started to hand around the pecies of paper, and i was feeling nervous about who they were going to put me with. i was hopeing to god it was kiba!
He handed me a sheet of paper. i write my name, and of course i wanted to draw. i folded it and gave it to Neji, he always would look at me funny, he would sort of smile and just look at me. He scared me sometimes. i sat back down and waited egally.
Strangly, Sasuke learned down near my ear and whispered something into it.
"what did you pick?"
"to draw, you?"i whispeared back.
"The oppisite, i hope i get pair with you."
i felt a sudden wave of warmth, it was a nice feeling for somebody (besides Kiba) to say something like that.
i gave a kind of awkward smile. he smiled but in his eyes you could tell that he seemed to look a bit let down.
Neji then put one hand of notes into the box that said 'Art'. Then with his other hand he put the handful in the box that says 'idea' Sasuke's was in there. Now that i mention it, i don't know which one Kiba would have taken.
i leaned over to Sasuke's ear and whispered in it.
"which one did Kiba pick?"
"art." he whispered back.
secretly i was hopeing that kiba picked that, so i could learn about Sasuke more...get to know him better.
i don't know whats so intriguing about Sasuke...someone help!?
Neji put his hand in the box labeled 'art' my heart started to race.
"okay..." he unwrapped the neatly folded peice of paper. "the first person is, Kiba" i was rested, but worried for Kiba. He then took out one from the other box. "and kiba will be partnered with, Shikamaru" i had a look at Kiba's facial expression then Shikamaru's, put it this way they didn't look very happy.
a couple more notes got pulled, and none of them people that i knew. he drew, once again from the 'art' box, pulling out yet another name.
He did that strange look towards me. "Naruto." My heart started to race, very fast. he pulled out another name "Naruto, you will be paired with..." i was hopeing to god it was going to be Sasuke. Please le it be Sasuke!
"...Sasuke...you're very lucky Sasuke Naruto is a very good drawer, one of the best. I'm sure with you're great imagination you will create a great comic."
"i looked over at Sasuke, he was smileing. i wasn't sure what i was doing, i was shocked, i think...then why does my face feel warm...must be getting hot.
i don't understand him...
