chapter two.

Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright (literally. i mean, the boy is wearing orange) until you hear them speak. And you learn the truth.


Sakura: hey girl. you okay?

Hinata: yeah... but that was embarrassing!

Sakura: you just fainted. it's okay.

Hinata: no it's not! if only he hadn't gotten so close!

Sakura: am i right in assuming the boy needs to learn the definition of personal space?

Hinata: yeah, he does. but still, i didn't have to just PASS OUT!

Sakura: well you weren't expecting it... loud blonde idiot...

Hinata: aha... yeah... so who carried me to the nurse?

Sakura: the blonde idiot.

Hinata: ...really?

Sakura: really.

Sakura: hina?

Sakura: did i say something wrong?


"Ne, Neji-kun. Chill. I just talked to her. She's fine," I said, trying to calm the Hyuuga down. He was currently attempting to bore a hole through the loud blonde's head. And succeeding. No, not really. But there was a metaphorical hole in the kid's head. Neji's glares are scary shit.

"You sure?"

"Damn sure," I replied, deciding not to tell him that his dear cousin had indeed fainted a second time due to my mentioning that the blonde kid had carried her to the nurse. All the better considering that I did not want my dear big brother charged with murder at such a young age. The murder of the blonde kid? Yeah, completely different story.

Anyway, the blonde kid was now back in the classroom and annoying the crap out of me. He was cute, but ruined the effect as soon as he opened his mouth. Spiky blonde hair and blue eyes, I could see why Hina was a tad overwhelmed by- oh shit. The blonde kid is Hina's crush!?

Dear God. Definitely do not tell Neji that little tidbit.

"So, so, what are your names?" He asked, completely oblivious to Neji's glare (to which I give the kid props) as he led us to what looked like his group of friends. "My name's Uzumaki Naruto. I'm guessing you're Hinata-chan's friends that she's been talking nonstop about. She was pretty excited."

"I'm Haruno Sakura. Nice to meet you. And yeah, I'm willing to bet we're those friends," I replied. He nodded, then turned his attention to the two boys next to me.

Crickets chirp.

No, not really. But I did notice that all of his friends were now awaiting Neji and Shikamaru's introductions. Ah. So they didn't want to talk. No matter.

"Hey idiots! Introduce yourselves! Hina and I taught you better than that, didn't we?" I said, as I smacked them both upside the head. I got two "nghs" as response.

Sigh. They're stubborn little butts.

"Sorry guys. They're a tad antisocial-" during which I was cut off (rudely, may i add) by two "tchs." Do they rehearse this shit? How do they always say the same thing at the same time? I turned and glared. "Do you want to add something?" One groan and one "hn" was my answer. Failure. They're smart. Why do they not talk in normal-speak like normal people do!?

"Yeah, I didn't think so. Anyway," I said turning my attention towards the now rather amused group of people. "The pineapple head is Nara Shikamaru and ice cube with the stick up his ass is Hyuuga Neji." I saw that at my introduction, both boys turned their heads and glared. I was childish, stuck my tongue out, and said, "You didn't want to do it yourself."

"Ahaha. Right, Sakura-chan."

Sakura-chan? Blonde-haired retard just called me Sakura-chan? Eh?

"Anyway," Naruto started saying thouroughly distracting me. "I'll introduce the rest. Right here next to me-" said while pointing at a girl with chocolate colored brown hair in two buns who smiled "-is Tenten. Just Tenten. Next-" now pointing to a blue-eyed, blonde-haired girl with her hair in a ponytail who gave me a peace sign "-is Yamanaka Ino. Next to her is Uchiha Sasuke, her boyfriend." He was now pointing at a boy with black hair with the back all spiky and black eyes. I have to admit that he was hot. But with a girlfriend, and I'm not a bitch. But then he said, "Hn." Oh hell no. Another Neji? Crap.

Naruto was now pointing towards a boy with a hoodie on that made him look like he had kitty ears. "That's Sabaku no Kankuro-" said boy gave a cheerful wave "-his sister Sabaku no Temari is right there-" a girl with her hair put into four ponytails smirked at me "-and her brother Sabaku no Gaara." He just nodded looking completely indifferent. This boy caught my attention. He had bright crimson hair with jade eyes lined with black rings. Was it eyeliner? No idea. Hm. I think I'll ask.

"Hey Gaara. I don't mean to sound rude... but is that eyeliner?"


I was confused. After I asked the question which made everyone stare at me, all he said was, "Insomnia." And then he looked away. So I did what I always do when in doubt. I sat down, took out my phone, and texted Neji and Shikamaru three-way.

Sakura: did i say something wrong?

Neji: seems like it, haruno.

Shikamaru: troublesome... and you do know we're right next to you, right?

Sakura: neji. you bitch. and psh. of course i know. i wasn't about to ask you that question in front of them.

Neji: says the one who seems to be pmsing every damn day of her life.

Shikamaru: hyuuga has a point.

Sakura: you know, i hate how this always happens.

Neji: ?

Shikamaru: how what happens?

Sakura: i ask you all for help and what do i get? ABUSE.

Neji: you're so dramatic. we're telling you the truth.

Shikamaru: i don't see why you take it so seriously, sakura.

Sakura: i SHUN both of you.

Neji: sure you do.

Shikamaru: wait a few seconds.

Sakura: ...okay maybe not. but could you guys please help me this time? no making fun of poor sakura.

Neji: ...why did you just put yourself in third person?

Shikamaru: it's not our fault you just set yourself up for it.

Sakura: GAH.


"You know, both of you are the worst friends I've ever had."

Smirk.

Eyeroll.

"Don't we know it, Sakura."

"You tell us this all the time, Haruno."

"And yet, it doesn't affect you."

"Not worth it."

"Not at all."

Facepalm.
