Two Opposite
Chapter One
Both Naruto and I were walking towards our school, as he held our school bags. His bright blue eyes looked really happy.
'' What a gentleman you are. Carrying my bag.'' I said as I looked up at the sky. He stared at me with a cheeky smile. ''Aren't I?'' He said, as he let out a small laugh. He threw his arm around my shoulder. He really was a great guy. My best friend. Yeah, I have a guy best friend and NO I am not in love with him.
I looked down at my watch and swore. ''Shit! We are going to be late!'' I said as I ran Naruto ran faster and grabbed my wrist, and I was following, or at least tried to catch up with the young blonde man. I looked at his spiky blonde hair. He was wearing the uniform of our school, a dark blue with light grey pants. He turned around and stared into my emerald eyes, a boyish grin on his face.'' Are you able to catch up?'' ''Yeah…sort of, I hope I won't be panting to death.'
After some minutes of running, we reached the school gates. Our last year of High relaxed, as I had my hands on my knees. Someone's hand brushed my back. I looked up to see Naruto's smiling face and I cursed him in my head. ''Are you okay?'' ''How the hell can I be okay?! I am going to die from a lack of oxygen, burning muscles and palpitations!'' I said, wheezing painfully.'' Bookworm. You are so not athletic.'' He said, as he laughed.'' Sorry if I'm much more delicate. And anyway, I hate sports.'' I said, as I brushed off the dirt on my knee.
''STOP IT INO-PIG!''
''WHAT?! YOU ARE THE ONE WHO SAID IT FIRST!''
I turned around to see two young girls, one with really long pink hair and green eyes and the other with long blonde hair and blue eyes. I saw the vein popping on each other's forehead. I sighed as Naruto laughed at their quarrelling, his arms linked behind his head. Today was the first day of our last year in high school. Ino saw me and jumped on me, as she hugged me hard against her chest.
'' So perfect, Akira-chan!'' I wouldn't call that the perfect outfit. My brown hair was braided on the left side of my head all the way back and the rest was loose. I wore the usual white blouse, light pink cardigan over it and the red squared skirt. Oh, and also a red bow tie. And my usual big nerd glasses with a red frame.'' You are not calling me Bookworm? '' I looked at her as if she had another head. '' In private, I'll do it, but since you still have no boyfriend, in public, I'll call you Akira-chan. Do you have any complaints?'' She asked as she looked quite scary. Both Naruto and I walked a few steps back.'' Not really…'' These girls can be really scary… I thought as I sighed.
''A-ki-ra-CHAN!'' said a really hype voice behind and I shuddered and turned around swiftly. I saw lee coming running towards me, his arms spread apart. I turned on my feet and dashed away. ''Akira-chan! It's been so long since we last saw each other!'' '' Really? I had tought we saw each other only yesterday!?'' I said,as I was panting. Maybe Lee chasing after me will give me stamina.'' Akira, go for it!'' Naruto shouted and I spun around, and ran past him. ''Shut the fuck up, Naruto!'' I said and bumped into someone.
I fell on something quite soft. I opened my eyes only to see jet black pupils staring at me and I frowned. '' Here I thought it was a cushion.'' Someone grabbed my arms and helped me stand up. It was Sakura.'' Are you okay, Akira?'' I nodded. '' Are you okay Sasuke-kun?'' She asked, staring at him with blushing cheeks. Oh, she is in love with him. I turned my head towards the young man and bowed deeply. '' I really am sorry to have bumped into you and fell on your chest.'' I said, as I looked up. He was smirking.'' What are you going to give me, as a token of apology? '' He said as he got closer. I stepped back, my hand in my bag. I took out a large box of Band-Aid and handed it to him. ''If you are hurt, please use these.'' I said as I bowed another time and turned around. Only to see Lee standing in front of me, with a really big smile. I stiffened in horror as I turned around and ran past the dark-haired boy and my pink-haired friend.
Really, life can be so exhausting!
Sasuke stared at the young woman with a little interest. She didn't begin to stutter when looking at him, didn't blush, didn't flinch. She really didn't care about him. Intriguing. She looked into Sasuke's eyes and he saw something weird. She really didn't care about him. At all. The raven-haired boy's stare followed the young brown-haired girl and someone stepped into his field of vision. A pink-haired girl… one of the girls which had a crush on the raven-haired boy…Sakura Haruno. She looked at him with blushing cheeks and big green eyes. His lips pursed together as his brows frowned. How annoying, he thought, as he brushed his hair back.
''Sorry about Akira, she is an airhead.''She said, as she scratched her nose and let out a small laugh.''How are you, Sasuke-kun? I hope she didn't injure you.'' She said, as she looked at him from every angle.
Sasuke sighed deeply. And he turned on his heels, hands in his pale grey cardigan pockets. Everything just to be away from this girl. Yes, she was attractive, but… something was missing about her. Something odd. She only liked his outer appearance. Everyone only liked his outer appearance. Girls liked his 'cold personality'. He huffed in frustration as he wanted to punch a wall.
I had stopped, as I felt someone take my hand. It was a big hand, a boy's hand I looked around to see a young man with a smirk. Brown-red hair, mid-short, and emerald green eyes.
'' What are you doing, Akira-chan?'' He asked in that teasing voice of his.
''Fleeing someone.'' I said as I tried to brush that man's hand. I really had not time to waste.
''Eeeeh, and here I thought you came to see me.'' The brown-haired boy said as I sighed.
'' Okita-san, you are going to be late to class.'' I said as I gave up trying to take that man's away.
''Give me a smile, Akira-chan!''He asked as he tugged on my wrist.
''No. You are a freak.'' He looked at me shocked and laughed. ''Such a smart-mouth! It's kind of endearing really.'' I felt death stare on me and I looked behind me.''Okita-san, it's not that I hate don't like you, but your fan girls are kind of scary.'' I said as I showed him with a movement of the head. He chuckled. '' My, my. You deserve all my attention, Akira-chan.''
''If not having your attention could prevent my death, please refrain of showering me with affection, Okita-san.'' I said, with a chuckle.
He was the only man, with Lee that showed great interest in me. I didn't understand. I am just me. No one special. I am quiet, normal, a real nerd who like video games, reading, drawing, writing. I am smart, but oh well. The bell rang and Okita-san finally let go of my hand with a long and deep sigh. As soon as he let go, I walked fast, trying to ignore the death glare on my back. Girls that are in love are way too scary.
Oh wait… I didn't check which class I was in! FUCK! At the same moment I started to panic, my cellphone rang. I pushed the button answer and I brought it to my ear.
'' Akira-chan, we are in 3A.'' Said a masculine laugh, and I frowned.
'' How did you know I hadn't checked the board?'' I asked as I could hear Naruto laugh on the other side.
'' Because you are an airhead.''
I sweat dropped and could feel an anger vein beat on my temple.
'' Go die, you moron.'' I said, as I could hear him chuckle on the other side.
Always making fun of me, that blonde man. I sighed and looked up to the poster to the side of the door. 3C. Oh well, at least I won't have to search for it for that long, I said as I walked towards the third class.3A. I opened the sliding door and looked at the black board. A plan represented the classroom. Each number represented a desk. I looked over to our supposed teacher. He had spiky silver-hair and dark grey eyes. His eyes met mine and he sighed.
'' Not you again. Three years in a row, can't I have some peace?'' He said with a smirk.'' It's not like I am the most disturbing student you ever had, Kakasho-sensei.''
He frowned before his face softened.'' Kakashi.''
''What?'' I asked, as I tilted my head sideways.
'' It's Kakashi, not Kakasho.''
'' It's the same thing. Don't give details too much credit.'' I answered him and I walked over to his desk.'' Don't tell me I have to pick out a number from that box?'' He shrugged.'' Too much of asshole if I did it another way.''
'' You are not talking like a teacher, Sensei.'' I said with a chuckle. I put my hands in the box and pulled out a number.21 Great. Last seat of the last row to the left… oh it's near the windows! My neighbor's number would be… 6. I looked over the classroom. In front of me was a young woman with long straight indigo hair with lavender eyes. I walked over my seat behind her and she turned around.
'' Hi, Hinata, how are you doing?''
''G-good, Akira-san.'' She said with a timid smile. Oh god. She is just too cute. She was blushing so hard I giggled.
'' Hinata, didn't I tell you to stop being so formal with me?''
She played with her fingers nervously.''B-but, it would be rude of me to do so…''
'' Hinata, if you don't stop being that formal with me, I will begin to think you do not think of me as a friend.'' I said, expressionless.
Her eyes were wide opened and she was squirming on her chair.
'' O-okay, I will try, A-Akira-chan.''
She said, as she blushed even more. I felt a little mischievous.
'' Just call me Akira.''
She looked even more nervous.
''A-A-Aki… I am sorry I really can't, Akira-chan!'' She said, as she put her hands on her blushing cheeks, trying to hide her face. Eh. She was panicking so much I put my hand on her shoulder.
'' I am sorry, I was just teasing you.''
She frowned a little and she giggled. I can't believe Naruto doesn't see how much that girl is way cuter than Sakura. Poor girl.
''Ne, Hinata, If I was a boy, I would be head over heels for you.'' I said, as I looked straight at her with a smile.
She blushed even more.''T-thank you, Akira-chan.'' Two figures came our way, one was a pink-haired girl, Sakura and a blonde-haired kid.
'' So, how are you doing?'' Naruto asked with a beaming smile.'' Pretty great, actually, to whom are you sitting next to?'' I asked and his face darkened. ''I am sitting next to Kiba.''
'' And it is bad?'' '' He piss me off so much!''
''And you, Sakura?'' '' Oh, I am next to Tenten and Ino, so it isn't that bad.'' She said, as she shrugged.
I laid my head on my desk as Naruto sat on the corner of my desk, a little group surrounding me and I dozed off. I heard the door slid open and close. After some seconds, I heard some shrieks and a seductive voice, a female one.
'' Move'' Said a masculine voice and I opened my eyes and lifted my head. Sakura was sitting on the desk next to mine and she was leaning in towards a boy. Tall, dark hair and onyx eyes… someone unimportant and I laid my head back on my desk. I heard someone crouch beside me and poke me in the cheeks.
'' Akira-chan, wake up, it's class time. You are not supposed to sleep.'' Said softly Naruto's voice, and I could hear him chuckle.
Really, is this how my last year in high school begin ?
