I pulled on my red pokemon baseball cap, leaving my room, which was decorated in purple. I'm Onyx Tenshi Uchiha (I like the last name, and Itachi's last name is different is this story) And I'm 16. Today I am starting my sophmore year of highschool, and dreading it. I'm not much of a school person. My hair flowed all the way down my back to the back of my thighs, it was a pitch black, except for my red bangs, and some red and silver stripes in it. At my school we have to wear uniforms, which sucks. The girls have to wear a navy blue short skirt, and a button-up shirt. I absolutely hate skirts, but I don't have much of a choice, do I? I left my empty apartment, and started walking to school. I took out my ipod and started listening to Bulletproof Love by Pierce The Veil as I was walking. I guess I was different from other girls. My hair was black and silver and red instead of blonde or brown. My eyes were a cold silver with purple rings in them, instead of blue, or green. And I was a lot smaller than normal girls. But that's because I was born pre-maturely. I have really thin bones and I'm a lot skinnier than normal. I'm also a lot more pale than I ought to be. But I didn't mind. Sometimes it's good to be different. My black combat boots scuffed the ground as I walked, not paying attention to the things around me. My boots made a clunking sound every time they hit the ground, but not that I could hear it. My music was too loud. Some people walked by, staring at me. I sighed and walked a bit faster. I looked up at the sky thinking about my parents. Well my mom and least. When I was little my dad constantly abused me. My mom had tried to stop him numerous times but always failed. But then they both died in the war. I had now arrived and school, and was walking down the hall, going to the locker number I had wrote on my hand. I flipped the lock around, trying to get the combination to work.
"Hey, Onyx." I heard a quiet voice say. I looked up to see my favorite red head Sasori Akasuna looking at me.
"Hey Sasori, looks like we're locker buddies." I said with a smirk.
"Yep. What's your first class?"
"Uh . . . Math. You?"
"Same."
"Cool." I said shoving my backpack into the locker. I tucked my ipod into my boot because the skirt didn't have pockets. I pulled my hat down over my eyes as I shut my locker. I noticed Sasori had his ipod on hand as well. As we walked to the math room, I struggled with my books, because there was so many.
"Want some help?" Sasori asked.
"Oh yeah thanks." He took some of the books off of the pile while I re-organized them. When I got them straight I grabbed the rest back from Sasori and put them on top.
"No problem." He replied. We got to the math door and walked in. We all stood in the back of the classroom until we got our assigned seats.
"Akasuna! Uchiha!" The teacher yelled pointing to some seats at a table. Me and Sasori scrambled to the table and sat down. I looked over at Sasori and realized he was smirking.
"What's up, Sasori?" I asked, looking around.
"Itachi's in this class. And so is Kisame." He replied.
"Oh shit. We're screwed." I groaned
"Yes, we definitely are." Sasori whispered back. I chuckled and shook my head. All of the tables were in groups of 5. Our table had Sasori, Itachi, Kisame, and empty seat, and myself. Then a guy with bright orange hair walked into the classroom, muttering apologies of being late. The teacher waved it off and sat him at our table, across from me, next to Kisame. He seemed normal so far, but then I got a good look at his face. He had 3 bridge piercings, 2 spiked snakebites, and 6 piercings on each ear, along with a bar through each ear. I had a couple piercings, a couple around my ribs, one side of my lip, and my ears were done exactly like his. I looked away as the teacher started coming around with nametags. Me and Sasori sighed simaltaniously. I mean nametags, really? We're not five. She handed me mine and my name was spelled wrong. It read "Onex U." I sighed and raised my hand.
"Um Miss Tobiko, you spelled my name wrong." I said. Itachi and Kisame snickered and I shot daggers with my eyes at them. The teacher came over with a new, blank nametag.
"Why don't you just write it?" She said handing me a marker.
"Ok." I replied, writing my name on it. I handed her the marker back and stuck the nametag on my shirt. I slid down in my seat glumly.
"How do they manage to spell your name wrong every year?" Sasori asked.
"I don't know. It's just a fancy name for black, so I don't know how they can spell it wrong so often. Especially when they're the teachers." I replied.
"I think it's funny." Itachi said, laughing.
"Shut up, Weasel." I said. Itachi stuck his tongue out at me and I did the same. I looked over at the new guy and his nametag read "Pein."
'Pein?' I thought. 'What an odd name.' Suddenly his eyes flashed up to mine and I tensed up. Our eyes were almost the exact same color. His were purple with silver rings. We stared at each other for a while before looking away at the same time. The bell rang and everyone began to file out of the room. Sasori waited at the door for me, as usual. Next up was lunch, and a good thing too, I thought I might starve.
"Where do you wanna sit for lunch?" Sasori asked me.
"How about with Itachi and Kisame?"
"Ok. But I think I see Hidan over there. Prepare to get detention." I smirked and we started walking towards the table.
"Hey, guys." I greeted. All of them waved. Except for Hidan.
"Hello crazy-eyes and Puppett Boy." Yep. You guessed it. That's Hidan.
"Wow Hidan, you're in a good mood." Said Sasori sitting down. I sat down between Sasori and Itachi. Suprisingly Hidan didn't say anything back. Hidan's eyes roamed over my tray. He reached over and stole my apple. I narrowed my eyes at him.
"Give. Me. My. Apple." I snarled.
"No-o." Hidan said, sticking his tongue out at me. He held the apple over his head, but then suddenly someone grabbed it. I looked up to see Deidara, holding my apple.
"Hey!" Hidan yelled, looking behind him.
"Here you go, Onyx." Deidara said, handing to me. He winked at me as I took it. I backed away in my chair a little.
"Uh, thanks Deidara."
"No problem, sweetheart." He replied. Sasori put himself between me and Deidara, narrowing his eyes. Sasori knew I didn't like Deidara.
"Sit somewhere else, you creeper." Sasori hissed. Deidara rolled his blue eyes and sat next to Kisame.
"Thanks." I whispered to Sasori.
"No problem." He said pulling off my hat and rubbing my head. I stole my hat back and put it back on my head over my eyes.
"Hey guys. This is Pein. He didn't have anywhere else to sit, so I figured he could sit here." My head snapped up at hearing his name. I looked up to see Kakuzu, standing by the guy named Pein.
"Hey Kuzu." Sasori greeted. Kakuzu winced at his nickname and sat down. Leaving Pein with the only seat left. The one across from me. Pein sat down across from me, and it felt like his eyes never left me. When lunch was over Sasori told me he would meet me at the next class and walked off. I shrugged and continued walking. Suddenly I was shoved to the floor, the impact caused my head to hit the floor and my books to scatter everywhere. I grunted as I picked my head up from the ground.
"Freak." I heard someone hiss. I touched my head where it hurt the most and found blood. Suddenly there was a cold hand at my elbow, it pulled me up from the ground. I stood up to meet a reflection of my own eyes. I realized it was Pein.
"Are you ok?" He asked. I nodded and touched my head. His eyes grew wide at the sight of my head. It was bleeding badly now.
"Come on. I'm taking you to the nurse." He said picking up my books.
"I-I can carry my books, Pein." I said, reaching out for them.
"No you can't. You can barely walk." He insisted . His hand was still on my elbow as we walked to the nurse's office.
"Oh my!" The nurse exclaimed as we walked in.
"Some kids pushed her down in the hallway. I know the names of the kids if you want them." Pein said.
"Yes I do. But we'll worry about that later. Right now we need to stop your bleeding." She said coming over to me, pressing a towel to my face.
"Here. Just hold this to your head. I'll be right back." She said walking out of the room, shutting the door. I looked at Pein. He was avoiding my gaze.
"Why did you help me?" I asked. He looked at me, turning his head to see me.
"Common courtesy." He replied. There was something off about him.
"No. There was a reason. Tell me." I insisted. He sighed. The nurse came back in and removed the towel from my head.
"Ok. You should be fine now. Go back to class." She said.
'Oh yeah, I'm totally fine. I have a huge gaping hole in my head, but I'm ok. Bitch.' I thought. She left again and Pein turned to me.
"You're not gonna go back to class are you?" He asked.
"Hell no. Screw her. I'm going home." I said trying to jump off the big bench thing I was sitting on. But I slipped on a paper towel on the ground and started falling. But before I knew it, Pein's arms were around me, keeping me off the ground. We looked at eachother with wide eyes before I scrambled out of his arms and stood up looking at the ground. I looked over at Pein and realized he was blushing.
"Hey." He said, looking over at me, still blushing. "You wanna get out of here?" He asked.
"Yeah." I said nodding. He led the way out the door and to a back door of the school, sneaking out.
"They won't miss us." He said smirking and walking outside. I followed him, smiling.
"So where are we going?" I asked.
"Hmm . . . Oh! I know a place . . . " He said.
"Uh . . . alright. Let's go." I replied. He smiled at me and grabbed my wrist, dragging me toward the forest.
