Okay hello everyone I am back after literally years. I've ended my first story a while ago and I (tearing up right now) am quite upset about it. I want to write a story that I can continue to write throughout years. Please note, that if yo are going to go read my first story that I wrote it when I was younger so I really didn't know anything so It's not that great of a story (kinda bland) and the format is horrible.
But Sidra why are you only back now, after all this time?
Well even after I finished my first story I continued to read different fan-fictions and I recently finished one that started 2009 and finished like last year. I want to be with you guys for years and make friends here by inspiring and sharing ideas.
So without further wait, Welcome to Konaha High School! This story I want to take place after the time skip (that happened so long ago) so basically although we all know who gets together, we are all going to ignore that. Also we are gonna put Sai in this story as well even though Neji is in it too. :)
Why is it so loud? Shikamaru thought.
In his sleep, Shikamaru heard yelling of a woman and a man, as well as repetitive beeping sound.
He pushed his head farther into the warm soft pillow and wrapped more of the heavy blanket around himself, trying to block out the loud sounds. As Shikamaru slowly started to wake, the muffled sounds became clearer.
"Shikamaru, hurry up, do you honestly want to be late again to school?!" yelled Yoshino from the kitchen downstairs. Shikamaru rubbed his eyes and ran his fingers through his hair. "Coming!"
Shikamaru turned to face the device on his night table. He grabbed at his phone trying to turn off the alarm he set the night before. Once the alarm stopped Shikamaru sighed and tried to go back to sleep but with the voice of his mother and father yelling at him, he decided it wasn't worth it.
He turned to his phone to check for notifications:
1 new email from his school office (the school always seems to send out weekly emails about what is happening in the school to parents and students.
A couple messages from Ino about the winter formal coming up
And a friend request from some guy named Kankuro.
Nothing seemed to perk his interest into checking but he knew Ino would go mad if he doesn't reply to her, so he read her messages,
- INO - Thinking of asking Sai to go with me to the formal! You think he'll say yes?
-INO- hahaha Of course he will say yes, I mean if he didn't want to that would be like impossible,, he flirts with me all the time.
-INO- Anyways, who are you going to ask?
Ino always had this thing of asking questions and then replying to herself about it., the only reason he doesn't say anything about it is because he's known her for too long to already know she wouldn't care what he said.
But still, Shikamaru thought of what she asked. Should he ask someone? He isn't too bad looking that there was a zero chance someone would say yes, but he isn't all that into dances. Do I even know how to dance?
He thought maybe he could ask one of the girls that usually hangout with him and his friends. He thought of it. Sakura? No that wouldn't work,Sasuke would probably want to ask her. Even though Sasuke seem to be emotionless, he seems to have a thing for Sakura.
Tenten is with Neji (talk about a power couple) and Hinata and Naruto are BASICALLY together no matter how much they deny it. Ino would expect too much from him and besides she's told him countless times that she is into Sai.
Shikamaru thought of his friends on who they might ask. Choji would probably either fly solo or ask Karui. Kiba knows that Tamaki has feelings for him , so he'd probably ask her.
Now that he thinks of it that would leave, Shikamaru would end up being the only one without a date. Shit
Suddenly Yoshino entered his room. "Are u kidding, get up, you better be ready in 5 minutes or I swear to god-"
"Okay okay, I'm up" Shikamaru said rolling out of bed.
Yoshino huffed and went back down stairs.
Shikamaru looked up into the mirror after getting dressed and fixing his hair to a decent point, it'd be too troublesome to do any better than this.
He slowly made his way down the stairs and into the kitchen. Shikamaru greeted his father who was preparing to leave as well, with a piece of toast in his mouth, Shikaku left.
Shikamaru bent down to see what was in the fridge, he took out a jar of jam and some bread and closed the fridge only to see his mother in her robe, completely not ready to drive him to school.
He put the food down. "Is this a joke?" he said.
"What?"
"If you weren't ready, why'd you call me down?" Shikamaru sighed.
"If I didn't, you'd probably be still asleep. I can get ready in 5 minutes, you take all morning." she laughed.
Shikamaru sighed and gave up. It's too troublesome to argue with her.
Yoshino was using the last of the bread for her own sandwich. "So I got an email from the school, and it said there going to be new students attending your school. "
"I don't know, and I really don't care to be honest." Shikamaru said, looking for more bread.
Yoshino looked back at him "You should care; I volunteered you to help lead some of them around the school today."
Shikamaru looked back at her but didn't bother to protest.. "Alright , if that's the case I better get to school now."
Shikamaru gave his mom a kiss on the cheek as a good bye and walked to school. Yoshino yelled after him "I thought you wanted me to drive you to school?!"
Shikamaru shook his head and waved goodbye.
When Shikamaru got to school, he went straight to his locker to get his stuff. With his stuff in his hand, he walked down the hall to his homeroom. Asuma was pretty chill with Shikamaru so the chances of him freaking out over Shikamaru begin late is slim to none.
Before he could enter he was stopped by his friends.
"Oi Shikamaru, whats the rush?" Kiba said.
"My mom signed me up to help some exchange kids and I'm trying to make sure no one comes to remind me." Shikamaru said.
"So you're just going to leave some new kids on their own?" Tenten frowned.
Shikamaru shrugged.
"You might be able to forget it, but I doubt anyone would forget the guy who was supposed to help them out." Sakura scolded him.
Shikamaru sighed.
Then Ino looked up from her phone. "Forget that, why didn't you reply TO MY MESSAGES?"
Shikamaru groaned at all the sudden questions.
Asuma overheard the conversation and tapped Shikamaru and told him to go to the office to help the new kids.
"Don't worry Shikamaru, we'll come with you!" Naruto beamed.
At that the group walked to the office. Naruto looked into the room.
"Holy shit! She's HOT " Naruto stressed the last word. He turned to Shikamaru. "I don't think she'd even appreciate having Shikamaru as a tour guide" Naruto looked at Shikamaru's looks up and down.
Everyone raised an eyebrow. "I mean like Shikamaru, you're just gonna look like-" Naruto stopped at the disaproving look Hinata gave him. "Never mind" He laughed rubbing the back of his head.
"Whatever" Shikamaru said pushing the door, entering Tsundaes office.
"It's about fucking time." the blonde girl exclaimed.
Shikamaru groaned (on the inside) oh great she's a bitch, how troublesome.
"My brother's guides came 10 minutes ago, c'mon i'm gonna be late for class." She said walking out the door with Shikamaru right behind her.
The group watched the 2 leave, as they didn't leave once Shikamaru entered the office.
Kiba whistled at the blonde which made her turn her head in disgust.
Once Shikamaru and the blonde were in the maze of hallways, trying to find which one is for the her, they started a conversation.
"You're friend is disgusting" she said.
Shikamaru looked at her "Kiba? No no he's just, I don't know what to call him , but he means well." Shikamaru said sounding bored.
The girl nodded and stopped in front of one locker, she started to organize her binders and notebooks into it.
Shikamaru caught the sight of her name on one of them. "Temari"
She turned to him looking confused. Then she looked at her notebook that was in her hand, noticing it had her name on it and nodded. "Yea that's me, what do I call you?"
"Shikamaru Nara" He repied
"Ok Shikamaru Nara, walk me to my next class which is..." she looked through her notebook to find her schedule. "Biology"
Shikamaru nodded as he lead the way. Half way through the walk through the hallways, Shikamaru stopped.
"What are you doing?"
Shikamaru continued to open his locker.
"I know you can hear me."
Shikamaru replaced his books and closed his locker. "I needed to get my stuff"
Temari nodded.
Once they got to class, Shikamaru followed Temari in, which she found weird but once he took a seat next to the pink haired girl and light blonde haired girl she saw earlier, she realized they had the same class.
Without knowing where to sit Temari sat at the back of the class. Oh no, did I just pull a classic new girl move she thought
She took her seat anyway and class started. She looked over at Shikamaru who was asleep and the 2 girls whispered beside him about who knows what.
She took her notes and soon enough there was only 1 period. She and Shikamaru missed first and second period because of the tour and classes went by fast because of the whole "introduce yourself to the class" bit that basically took up half of every class.
When she entered last period, she took a seat next to Shikamaru, him being the only one she knew, and everyone introduced each other.
"So Temari, do you have someone special? A crush? Lover? Boyfriend?" Ino gleamed
Temari was quite taken back at this question, but luckily she didn't need to reply because Kiba did for her.
"She's been here for like 4 hours, what kinda question is that?"
"You never know, maybe she and Shikamaru made out while they spent first and second period together." Sakura suggested.
Tenten and Naruto laughed, while Temari went pink. Shikamaru looked embarrassed at first but of course went back to his normal bored expression.
The group sat in an awkward silence.
"It was a JOKE" Sakura said.
"Whatever, if you don't have a boyfriend. Then we better work hard on u to make sure someone asks you to the winter formal coming up." Ino said looking at the other girls for approval on the plan.
They all nodded in agreement,
Sai finally spoke, "The rest of you all have dates already?"
"Oh don't worry about us. Tenten and Neji are going together, Sakura and I have a plan and Hinata and Naruto are basically together so it's basically just Temari left." Ino said
Naruto and Hinata went pink.
"Hinata and I are not together!" Naruto defended
Hinata looked a little hurt "Yea.."
Naruto noticed this. "N-Not that I wouldn't want to go with you, I-I mean like ,just um " Naruto rambled on, embarrassed.
Sasuke rolled his eyes (along with everyone else) So Shikamaru, do you know who-"
He was cut off by the bell and everyone made their way to their lockers.
After school, Shikamaru saw Temari sitting up on the field hill, he'd usually sit at, he took a seat beside her.
ANDD thats it for this chapter, i would have contuined but then i wouldn't have anything write for next chapter. I'm 100 percent open to sugguestions , like if u want a certain event to happen, i'll definitly include it.
Please review your thoughts and I'll try to tothe next chapter by next week
Your sugguestions would probably make the writing process faster, so like what do you want shikamaru and temari to talk about? How do you want each character to ask the other to the formal? The choice is up to you guys!
