It's been three days since my parents left for their trip. They are supposed to be home by tomorrow morning.

It was a Sunday afternoon in mid- fall. I watched a passing car from my spot up in the oak tree. It was a very tall tree but was surprisingly easy to climb. I watched as another car went by. I didn't know what I was watching for. My parents wouldn't be home until tomorrow.

Three boys from my school were playing a game of street hockey. The one that had brown hair made a power-shot and sent the puck flying over the goal, hitting nearly two inches away from me. The two others erupted into laughter.

I stared at them.

"Um… why are you in a tree?" came a voice.

I looked down to see the brown- haired one who nearly killed me holding the puck.

I didn't say anything but watched as the two laughing walked up to him. One had blonde hair and the other had black hair.

"Yeah really! Why are you in a tree?!" the blonde one laughed.

"What's your name again…? Kina?" asked the black-haired one.

"No… Mika?"

"Nikka…" I mumbled.

"There we go!" they said together.

I am the new girl in school; well technically I have been going to Konoha High for about a year now. Not very many people in my school can get my name right so I either go by New Girl or, as many have begun to call me, hime.

"I have to go…" I said.

"Don't you need some help-"The brown- haired one stopped and watched as I slid down the oak tree. "Oh… nevermind…"

"Where ya goin hime?" the black-haired one said.

I flinched at the name, stopping in my tracks. "Please don't call me that."

He didn't reply and watched with the rest of them as I walked into my house practically slamming the door behind me.

The three boys were quiet for a moment until the blonde spoke up. "I think you made her mad Sasuke."

Sasuke rolled his eyes. "Whatever, since when do you care about other people?!"

Naruto shrugged. "I'm just saying."

"Shut up usuratoncatchi!"

"Don't tell me what to do teme!"

"Guys!" the brown- haired one shouted.

"Shut up Kiba!" they both snapped at him.

Kiba sighed and began walking away. "Baka…"
