Today is going to be the worst day ever.
Why?
Because my cousin Konan is making me transfer to a new high school!
She couldn't give two shits about where I was educated!
"Kumiko!" Konan screamed for my name like a teacher.
"Speak of the devil…"
"Get your ass down here now!"
"But I only came to Konoha yesterday!" I complained into my pillow.
"I don't care! You have to get up for school! Hurry up before Yahiko and Nagato get here!"
"Fine!" I started to roll out of my bed. Then I remembered my bed was the top half of a bunk bed. "Oh sh-FUCK!" I screamed as I belly flopped onto the hard floor.
"At least it's carpeted." I thought to myself.
After getting dressed into the Konoha High School uniform, I shuffled into the kitchen and mindlessly poured myself a glass of milk. I caught the toast that jumped out of the toaster and smeared butter and jam all over it.
"Oh." Konan finally noticed my presence. "You finally came downstairs."
"It's unbelievable." I munched on my breakfast and stared at nothing in particular. A familiar orange-haired boy walked into the room with a familiar red-haired boy next to him.
"Morning." Pein waved to me and my cousin.
"Hi Yahiko, Nagato." Konan smiled.
"Yo Nagato, Yahi- I mean Pein." I corrected myself.
"Are you two ready to go?" Nagato asked.
"I am. But I don't know about Kumiko." Konan rolled her eyes.
"Just let me get my bag." I said while chucking the crusts in the bin. I rushed upstairs and into my room. I grabbed my bag and a hair band. I tied my cobalt blue hair into its usual side ponytail and literally jumped over the flight of stairs. Pein and Konan flinched while Nagato just smiled. I smirked as I had landed in a crouching position, which was until I fell backwards.
"It's a good thing I wear shorts underneath my skirts." I assured myself.
"Next time, use your hands to help with the balance." Nagato advised.
"You two are so childish!" Konan sighed.
"We're gonna be late so let's leave now." Pein started walking towards the door. We all nodded and walked out of the house. Konan locked the door and joined us. The boys' uniform was a white blouse with the black Konoha High jumper on top. The Konoha sign was sewn into the jumped in a bright blood red. The boys also had to wear black trousers. The girls' uniform was the same except the girls had to wear a black skirt with either black tights or black/white socks. Both boys and girls had to wear a tie. Depending on what grade you're in, the colour of your tie changed. I'm a junior, so my tie was light blue, while Konan, Pein and Nagato had a blood red one, because they're seniors.
I could see the horrible building that I would now have to call 'school'. I let out a sigh of disapproval.
"Don't worry. I'm sure you'll fit in here. You'll make lots of friends." Nagato reassured.
"Does this mean I have to call you 'Nagato-senpai' now?" I smiled.
"Yep. Otherwise the older years will think you're a disrespectful brat." The bell rang and the students flocked into the school.
"I'll see you later." Nagato waved goodbye and caught up with Pein and Konan. I headed straight to the principal's office.
I was greeted by a woman with short brown hair.
"Hello. You must be Kumiko. I'm Shizune; I'm the secretary here at Konoha High. Tsunade-sama has been waiting for you." Shizune introduced herself while walking me to a door that said 'Senju Tsunade - Principal's Office'. I knocked on the oak door. I opened it and peered in. A blonde woman was sitting at a desk. She was doing paperwork that was surrounded by a wall of Sake bottles; some were empty, so were full.
"You're Kumiko, right?" She didn't take her eyes off of her paper.
"Yeah..." I replied. She held out a sheet of paper and a pile of neatly folded clothes.
"Here's your timetable and your PE kit." She finally looked at me and stared into my orange eyes.
"Thanks." I took it from her grip. "Is something wrong?"
"You look like K-"
"Konan? Yeah, I'm her cousin. But everyone thinks we're sisters. Konan's mother and my mother were twins." I smirked. Tsunade smirked back.
(A/N: I honestly don't know if they're mothers were twins or not.)
"Welcome to Konoha High School, Kumiko. I'll have someone show you around the school. She's waiting outside for you." I bowed and left the room. Then, I was greeted by a girl with chocolate brown hair that was tied in two buns.
"Hi. My name's Tenten." Tenten seemed nice.
"Yo. I'm Kumiko." I smiled.
"What lesson do you have? Also what class are you in?" Tenten asked.
"Double Literacy with Hatake Kakashi. And I'm in 3-D."
"Cool! We're in the same class!" Tenten grabbed my hand and lead me through the corridors. "Here's a map of the school in case you don't where things are. I'm really bad at this job so that's why I'm giving you a map."
"Works for me."
"Sorry we're late Kakashi-sensei." Tenten apologised to the silver-haired man that wore a scarf covering his mouth.
"Don't worry about it Tenten. I was late as well. I only just got here a few minutes ago. Is that the new transfer student?" Kakashi made the whole class look at me.
"Hi. I'm Kumiko." I introduced myself.
"Nice to meet you Kumiko. You can take a seat next to Tayuya." Kakashi pointed to a red-haired girl sitting at the back. She waved at me. I walked over to her and sat down next to her.
"Hey." She said.
"Hi."
"Do you mind if I call you Miko-chan?"
"No."
"Cool." She started introducing the other students on our table. "This is Kin, he's Neji, he's Lee and he's Kankuro."
"You are youthful indeed!" Lee exclaimed.
"Ignore him. He's a bit on the wild side." Kankuro reassured me.
"If you think that's weird then you should meet Naruto." Neji rolled his eyes.
"Who's Naruto?" I asked.
"The boy he is literally on a permanent high."
"Oi, table at the back; why are you talking?" Kakashi asked.
"Why are you always late for class, Kakashi-sensei?" Kin asked. Kakashi paused for a minute to think.
"Never mind..." Kakashi went back to writing on the board.
"I think I'm gonna like this class." I smiled to myself.
At break time, I hanged out with Tenten, Tayuya and Kin.
"Kin-chan?" I asked.
"Yes?"
"How did you get your hair to be so long? How do you cope in PE?"
"I don't know. When I was little I wanted my hair to be really long so I could be like Rapunzel. Also I tie my hair up in a high pony tail for PE. I thought that if I became like Rapunzel, I would get a Prince Charming."
"Yeah, and your Prince Charming is Zaku!" Tayuya stuck out her tongue.
"SHUT UP!" Kin yelled as the blood rushed to her cheeks. "I don't like him!"
"The first stage is denial!" Tenten teased.
"Who's Zaku?" I asked.
"He's a boy in our class. In fact, here he comes." Tayuya pointed to a boy approaching us.
"Hey girls." Zaku smiled at us. Tenten and Tayuya had evil grins plastered to their faces. They both glared at Kin. "I'm Zaku. It's nice to meet you Kumiko."
"Same to you." I said.
"Kin?"
"Y-yes?" She stuttered.
"After school we have a detention."
"Why?"
"We got one on Friday last week but Anko-sensei had to go home so she said it would be on Monday, which is today." He explained.
"Oh yeah…" Kin grinned at the thought of switching Anko's dango with one filled with chillies. The bell rang for next lesson. We all walked to our next lesson, double Art with Yuhi Kurenai.
"Aren't you lucky, Kin?" I joked.
"How?"
"You might get some alone time with Zaku." I snickered.
"Not you too!" Kin hung her head. Tayuya started laughing at Kin while Tenten tried to comfort her.
"Kumiko, do you have any experience in Art?" Kurenai asked me.
"Yes, Kurenai-sensei."
"Good. You can sit next to Sakon." She pointed to a boy who was sitting next to a boy that looked exactly like him.
"I guess Sakon has a twin." I plopped into my seat next to Sakon.
"I guess you're friends with Tayuya." He said while drawing the shell in front of him.
"Are you friends with Tayuya?"
"Of course he is." Sakon's twin answered. "I'm Ukon. As you can see, I'm Sakon's older twin brother. Sakon is basically in this gang called 'Sound Four'. The members of the Sound Four are Sakon, Tayuya,Jirobo and Kidomaru. They always play pranks on the teachers. But Jirobo and Kidomaru are in different classes."
"As a matter of fact…" Sakon had an extremely evil grin plastered to his face. "There's gonna be a prank in 3, 2, 1 and n-""AHHHHHH!" Kurenai screamed. She had opened a drawer and green paint splattered all over her face and clothes. Sakon burst into laughter and fell off his chair. He gave a high five to Tayuya.
"You're genius Tayuya!" he complimented her. Tayuya blushed a faded red. It was the same colour as her hair.
"SAKON! TAYUYA! DETENTION!" Kurenai stomped out of the classroom. The whole class sighed.
"Anyway…" Ukon continued. "This happens on a daily basis. So don't be surprised if you accidently walk into a prank."
"Note to self: Don't let your guard down." I sweat dropped anime style.
At lunch time, Tenten, Lee and Neji introduced me to their friends, who were mostly sophomores. This means that lots of people were wearing green ties. We were sitting in a grassy area of the school because this school was huge.
"EVERYBODY!" Lee announced. "THIS IS KUMIKO-CHAN!"
"Kumiko-san is the new girl in our class." Neji explained. I sat next to Kankuro and Tenten.
"It's only sensible to introduce ourselves." A blonde boy cleared his throat. "Let's go round in a circle! If you already know Kumiko-chan, don't say anything. My name's Naruto! My cousin is Karin." He pointed to a girl with red hair and glasses. "We live with our cousin Nagato."
"I know who Nagato is." I told him. "He's best friends with my cousin."
"No way!"
"I'm gonna be seeing a lot of Naruto and Karin."
"My name's Hinata. I'm Neji's cousin." Hinata seemed really calm and sensible.
"I'll get along with her."
"My name's Kiba and I think you're HOT!" Kiba winked. "I have an older sister, Hana, who goes to school here."
"I'll get along with him. I've had worse…"
"Suigetsu. I have an older brother, Mangetsu, who goes to school here."
"Cool."
"I'm Karin, Naruto and Nagato's cousin."
"I'm definitely gonna get along with her."
"Shino."
"He seems cool."
"Jugo. I'm a senior."
"He also seems cool. Jugo-senpai."
"I'm Sakura."
"She might piss me off."
"I'm Ino."
"She's gonna piss me off too."
"I'm Sasuke. I have an older brother, Itachi, in this school."
"Temari. I'm also a senior. Kankuro and Gaara are my younger brothers."
"Hmm. Cool."
"Gaara. I'm the younger brother of Kankuro and Temari."
"He seems awesome."
"Hello there. I'm Sai."
"He probably has some awesome talent."
"I'm Chouji."
"He seems nice."
"And I'm Shikamaru."
"Ok. So that means the people I like here is mostly all. I think I know too many people…oh well…"
"You remember all their names, right?!" Naruto asked.
"Yep." I nodded. I inhaled a deep breath. "Naruto, Karin, Nagato, Hinata, Neji, Kiba, Hana, Suigetsu, Mangetsu, Shino, Jugo…" I inhaled another deep breath. "…Sakura, Ino, Sasuke, Itachi, Temari, Kankuro, Gaara, Sai, Chouji, Shikamaru, Lee and Tenten." I panted. Everyone started laughing as I had actually managed to remember their names and their relatives' names. "I just wanna know something. Raise your hand if you're single." Everyone raised their hand. I also raised my hand. "Cool, now keep your hand raised if you're in love with someone." Some hands rose down, including mine. I looked at all of the people who were struck my cupid. "Tenten, Neji, Hinata, Naruto, Suigetsu, Karin, Sakura, Ino, Sasuke, Temari, Sai, Chouji and Shikamaru, interesting..."
"What exactly are you going to do, Miko-senpai?" Kiba smirked. I smirked back.
"You don't have to cool me senpai. It makes me sound old." I sighed.
"SAME HERE!" Temari cheered at our similarities.
"By the end of this term, everyone who has their hand up will be having a girlfriend/boyfriend!" I chuckled an evil laugh.
"Well this sounds entertaining." Shino stated.
"I wonder who will end up with whom?" Jugo thought aloud.
"Wait a minute, Lee; I thought you liked Sakura-chan?" Tenten asked Lee as she noticed his hand was down.
"To be honest it's sort of dying." He admitted. He then grabbed Sakura by the shoulders and started shaking her. I'M SORRY MY ENDEARMENT FOR YOU IS DYING, MY LOVE!"
"Don't worry about it Lee…" Sakura tried to regain her vision.
