I don't own Naruto and this is my re-edition.
I stood up and picked up my things. The girl was helped up by a boy that had blue, spiky hair. They still continued to glare at me.
"Sorry… about that," I boredly apologized.
"Runt! Watch where you're going next time!" the boy with spiky, blue hair scowled.
"Yeah…" I brushed it off. "Say, do you guys know where A-29 is?"
"Oh, I see. You're new around here, huh?" she smirked and slightly elbowed the boy with a wink
No duh… And of course I can't see that wink of yours. I held back from rolling my eyes.
"Well, if you're looking for that room, just head toward that door over there, go through, and when you turn left, you'll see A-29, right, Zaku?" she instructed.
"Oh… Thanks," I said with slight doubt.
As I was glanced back at where she pointed, I saw above that door the word 'Exit.' But the light had been broken, so not many people would have noticed that the door led outside. I turned back my head to tell them, but as I glanced behind them, I saw a certain classroom.
A-29.
That liar! I'll wring her little-
"Yo!" Zaku snapped his fingers at my face. "What are you standing around for. You look stupid. Get to class, or whatever."
"Pfft… Whatever…" I shoved my way past the,.
"What are you, deaf? Kin said it was that way. Don't tell me you're dumb enough that you can't even follow directions."
"Oh? Then does that make you guys are more idiotic than me for giving that direction?" I glared at them.
"What did you say, bitch?! You better watch your mouth and of who you're messing with!" he shouted at me.
"Oh no… The horror. I'm terrified," I scoffed. "You honestly think I'm scared? You think I'm dumb? Then you've just been outsmarted by one making you even more stupid than I am. A-29 Is clearly… right over there!"
I turned my back on them and stomped off.
"Ass wipes…" I muttered.
However, Zaku heard me and growled. I heard his footsteps run toward me with force. This made me glance back a bit.
"YOU LITTLE BITCH!" he lifted his fist and came down on my face.
I fully turned my body, dropping my books and blocked his punch, throwing it off to the side a bit. As he fell toward me on the side, I took a step away from him and pushed his back toward the floor. He fell face forward, but managed to soften the blow a bit by moving his head to the side. The girl named, Kin, gasped a bit and only stood there with her mouth gaped.
…I'll take this chance to go to my classroom
I headed my way toward the classroom that caused me so much trouble only to see a few people staring out the small window on the door. When they saw me stare at them, they hurried back to their seats making my eyebrow raise in I opened the door, everyone was completely silent that the only thing heard was the door creaking. Everyone stared at me as some of them started whispering.
Well! This isn't awkward at all! I walked in with the door closing behind me.
I looked around the room noticing that there was no teacher sitting at his desk, so my face scrunched up with question and wonder. I heard the sliding of a chair and someone's movement of walking toward me, so I turned my head toward the sound. A girl with short pink hair with green eyes walked toward me with a welcoming smile.
"Hello. I'm Haruno Sakura. I bet you're… wondering where our teacher is, huh?"
"Yes… Actually, I was."
"Don't worry about it. Kakashi-sensei is always late. We're actually pretty used to it…" Sakura huffed.
"Um… Yeah…" I still felt a little awkward.
"So what's your name?"
"Kurai Mizu," I introduced myself. "So I'm assuming you're in charge when the teacher isn't around?"
"Yup. I don't exactly do the seating though, so I guess for now, you can sit wherever you'd like," she nodded.
For this whole time, I could not take my eyes off her hair. It was one of the colors I disliked the most, but she didn't seem to be matching the personality of her hair. She seemed okay, but her hair still distracted me.
"Right," I shook it off. "Thanks."
"Oh, you know, actually," she stopped me. "I think there's an open seat next to… um Gaara."
"Gaara?"
"Yes. He's the boy with red hair over there," she pointed him out to me.
My eyes landed on the only boy in the room with red hair. And messy, no doubt. He sat there quietly with his arms crossed over his chest, leaning against his chair without care. But one thing that got me curious were his eye lids. They were so dark and showed immediately that he had insomnia. Above his left eye, however, lay a certain kanji that I made out to mean love.
Somebody woke up on the wrong side of the bed. I blinked as I observed him.
He suddenly opened his eyes and met mine making me jump back in the slightest.
Whoa! Thought he was sleeping…
"Oh, don't worry, Mizu. As long as you don't get on his bad side, he won't do anything to you," she comforted me.
"What makes you say that?" I asked.
"You jumped just now, right? People would sometimes get scared the moment he looks at them," Sakura said while walking back to her desk. "But then, usually a few days later, a few girls swoon over him."
"…I'm not swooning over anything," I muttered. (HAHAHAHA!! It's presently too late now).
I also walked toward the desk next to Gaara's as people's eyes followed me. I sighed inwardly, noticing their stares. I sat down on the chair and put my head on the desk tiredly. That Gaara guy didn't look at me this time after he glanced at me in front of the class. I concluded he didn't care about my seating arrangement next to him. But what I did mind was the few students that still stared at me behind their shoulders like I wouldn't notice. I glanced up at them, but they looked away.
"…."
As I laid my head back down, some of them continued to look again. I tried to ignore them, but soon, someone walked up to my desk and just stood there. They continued to stare down at me, so I twitched and looked up at them.
"What!?" I yelled at them.
The person I yelled at was a girl who was not fazed by my annoyance. She continued to stand there and smile at me with a huge grin. In my opinion, I don't think she blinked even once.
Is she… high on something?
"HI!" she shouted in my face.
This caused me to jump back in my chair slightly at her sudden outburst.
"MY NAME IS TSUKI KAIREN AND I LIKE YOU! YOU'RE WEIRD! I LIKE BOBA, TOO!"
"H-hey… I'm Kurai Mi-"
"I LIKE YOUR NAME! I MEAN, DARK WATER?! HOW COOL IS THAT?! AND YOU'RE SITTING NEXT TO THE GAARA! BE A GOOD GIRL AND DON'T BOTHER HIM! HE MIGHT POP UP OUT OF NOWHERE AND TACKLE YOU DOWN FROM THE DARK! RAWR!" she pretended to have claws and raised them above her head.
"You're… not confusing him with the Boogieman, are you?" I stared up at her strangely.
"Don't mind her; she had boba this morning," a boy with onyx eyes and dark blue hair walked up to her.
A few girl around him blushed a bit at him, which showed me that he was also a popular guy like Gaara, apparently.
"YOU WERE SO COOL OUT THERE! YOU WERE LIKE- PAH! PSHA! POW! POW! BUT WATCH YOUR BACK, OKAY!?"
I really didn't do much… "Why…?" I asked.
Kairen pulled me out of my chair and looked back and forth with paranoia. Then she whispered in my ear.
"They're in a gang called The Sound!"
"'The Sound'?" I snickered. "Sure… I'll make sure they don't deafen my ears…"
"I'M SERIOUS!" she shook me with all her might. "IF YOU'RE CAUGHT, THEN! THEN! AHHHHHH!"
She hugged me and screamed making me wince. Her hug was so tight that I had a hard time breathing.
"Calm your girlfriend down, Uchiha," Gaara said with a monotone.
"Hn," he leered at Gaara. "Come on, Kairen. The only one making her get caught is you, so let go."
"OKIE DOKIE!" she let go.
As they left, Kairen madly waved at me and was forced to return to her seat. Except… she had put up her own childish fight making the guy almost fall. I had a small sweat drop on my forehead, but looked to other places in the room. The first thing I noticed was that some of the girls glared at Kairen… and at me…
…Gaara. It's definitely Gaara. He really is someone who's popular. Oh just great. Look at what I got myself into.
My forehead laid against the desk, tiredly waiting for the teacher to arrive. Everyone decided to start chatting again, and I was glad that they finally ignored me and let my long day be less painful. Most of their conversations were loud, however, and I heard every single word they spoke. A few minutes passed as I lay there dazed, yet, the teacher hadn't arrived.
I don't mind the teacher being late, but it's starting to get on my nerves a bit to have an irresponsible teacher. I grumbled angrily under my breath.
The girl I met before, Sakura, had walked up to me and shortened my thoughts on angry rambles of my new teacher. There were a few more people behind her as well. I sat up straight and looked at them questioningly.
"I just thought you should meet my friends, Mizu," Sakura began. "They don't mind showing you around later on."
"…How… nice of them…?"
People here aren't normal! They're either too nice, or too stoic. Why can't there be normal-… I'm not normal either. I shouldn't be talking…
"Yo! Inuzuka Kiba," he grinned. He also had weird tattoo markings on two sides of his cheeks. His eyes and grin reminded me that of some form of wild dog.
I merely nodded and turned my eyes over to another boy who wore black sunglasses. He had really dark brown, spiky hair, but his posture told me he was the "cool" type of guy.
"Aburame Shino," he answered to my gaze at him.
"Hey," I replied.
"H-Hyuuga… Hinata," a girl with long blue hair answered shyly. The light had shown in her eyes, which made it looked like her eye color was silver. I wouldn't be surprised if people mistaken her to be blind.
"I'm Akimichi Chouji!" a somewhat round boy waved at me. He also had long hair, but it was hazel brown and a bit spiky. On his cheeks held tattoo like symbols, too.
Do… people here fancy tattoos…? I thought curiously.
"Do you have any food? Ino took mine away saying I needed to go on a diet…" he asked me, rubbing the back of his head.
"Chouji! I was supposed to introduce myself, too!" a girl with long, blonde hair scolded him with her hands on her hips. Her hair almost reminded me of the she-man I had met outside before. "Yamanaka Ino at your service! Ask me anything about the school and I'll tell you all about it!"
"Oi, Ino! We're all supposed to do that," Sakura grumbled.
"I have more knowledge than you, Forehead," Ino smirked confidently.
"What was that, Ino-pig?!"
The two girls began to fight and argue with each other making me back my chair away a bit. I heard a long, tiring sigh come from someone and turned my head over.
"Mendokuse…" he sighed. "Women really are troublesome…"
"Say what…?" I twitched.
"Nothing. I'm Nara Shikamaru," he rubbed the back of his head lazily.
"I'm sure we'll get along great…" I shook my head.
"Hi! Remember me? Tsuki Kairen," she waved. "I was really hyper a moment ago, but blame Mr. Uchiha Sasuke."
She pointed to the same dark blue haired boy that took her away a while ago.
"Why am I being blamed for your craziness?" Sasuke raised an eyebrow.
"You gave me boba!" she smiled.
"I recall that I refused, but you forced me to get it for you," Sasuke argued.
"But you agreed, anyway, so it's your fault," Kairen gave a fake evil laugh.
"Uchiha Sasuke, huh?" I repeated. His name sounds familiar…
"That's his name! Don't wear it out, Mizu!" Kairen patted me on the head.
"And you already know Gaara," Sakura gestured to him.
Gaara was still sitting there with his eyes closed, still uncaring about his surroundings. Suddenly, someone banged their hands on my desk and grinned in front of my face. Their sudden introduction also made Gaara open his eyes a bit.
"UZUMAKI NARUTO, DATTEBAYO!" he yelled.
I nearly had a heart attack as he screamed his name in front of my face, but everyone else seemed to have been used to it. Sakura had punched this boy named Naruto over the head before he could burst out another word.
"Don't mind him, Mizu. You'll get used to it," Sakura grinned kindly.
Such an evil aura coming from her… I had a sweat drop in the back of my head.
"So this is everyone that wants to show me around, huh. So many of you," I stated boredly.
"Actually," Ino spoke up, "there are three more, but they're a year older than us."
"Tenten, Lee, and Neji," Sakura added. "I'm sure they'll be glad to help you around the school, too."
"Thanks, I guess," I felt strange.
It wasn't everyday that so many people offer me help. It was a weird situation for me, but I was somewhat glad I didn't have to make enemies. I wouldn't want to be against the whole school.
Like three years ago… I recalled, but I shrugged it aside a few seconds later.
"But, we are going to warn you, Mizu," Kiba broke his grin and looked at me seriously. "Those two people, we wouldn't worry much about them, but it's who they hang out with. That's who you should worry about."
"I'll keep that in mind, but I'm not scared of them or who they hang out with," I waved it off.
"Still, try to be careful if they ever come in a bigger bunch," Kairen sounded serious all of a sudden.
Whoa. She can get serious?
"Yeah. Gaara and Sasuke would know more about it than we do," Naruto looked over at them.
Sasuke subconsciously touched his neck and scoffed on the side with a glare. Gaara, on the other hand, stared out the window as if he had not heard a word. The tension didn't last as the noise of the door slammed open, and footsteps walked in.
"Sumen, sumen," an apologetic voice spoke. "Let's get class started, shall we?"
