Five years later
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK
"Deidara honey, it's time to wake up" a kind voice says from the other side of the wooden door.
"I know mom" Deidara answers tiredly as he stares at the clock.
06.50. He frowns. He hates to wake up this early in the morning. Stupid school, it should be illegal to wake up this time at the day.
"Deidara, if you don't get up now I'm coming in" his mom says threatening.
"I'M UP!" Deidara yells.
He sits up in the bed and yawns, stretching his arms up in the air. The blue visible eye that's not covered by a blonde bang is searching through the room, looking for the clothes he decided to wear today. When he finds them on the floor next to his desk he picks them up and starts to change. After that, he goes to the bathroom and brushes his teeth and combs his hair that he sets up in a ponytail. When that's done he walks towards the kitchen, where his mom is sitting and drinking coffee. She gives her son a bright smile.
"Are you excited for today?" she asks kindly.
Deidara only shakes his head. He's not. The thought of changing school had scared him ever since he was a little kid, but he never thought that day would actually come. Well, he knew he needed to change school when he would enter the 7th grade but that didn't matter to him, because that school would be in the same city, the same country, and he would know most of the kids in the new school. Now that he had moved, everything was new. And to go to a school where he knows no one in a town where he knows no one in a country where he knows no one, is kind of scary.
"I know you don't like this" his mom says with a soft voice "but we both need this. Our last home had too many memories, and it did only hurt us."
Deidara looks down on the floor, trying not to cry. He always does when his mom talks about it, that terrible incident that made his small family even smaller.
"Oh, but look at the clock, it's time to go now" his mom says hurried and stands up.
She walks out to the hallway and starts to put on her shoes. Deidara does like his mom, putting on his shoes and a jacket. When they both are done they leave the house, heading for the car.
"I could give you a ride to school every day you know" Deidaras mom says and smiles.
"It's ok, I can walk" Deidara mumbles back.
He looks out the window, seeing lots of teenagers in his age walking on the streets, probably going to school just like him.
"Well, just tell me if you want a ride" his mom says as she slowing down the car.
She stops. At first Deidara doesn't understand why, but then he sees a big, red building, surrounded by grass, having stone paths going right through, tall trees and random teenagers. It's his new school.
"It looks beautiful, don't you think honey?" his mom asks in awe.
Deidara only sighs. He gets out of the car and before he closes the door he turns around to his mom.
"You pick me up later?"
"Of course! Bye honey!"
"Bye."
Deidara closes the door and his mom drives away.
"Well then, I guess I'm all alone now" he says to himself as he enters the schoolyard.
When you watch a movie where a kid is new at school, everyone is staring at him or her like he or she would come from space or something. Deidara had always thought it would be like that. He had wrong. No one looks at him, no one shows interest in him, it's like he doesn't exist. Sure, he didn't like the thought of having thousands of eyes staring at him, but it's kind of annoying to be treated like air.
"I wonder if anyone would help me find the way to my classroom if I asked" Deidara mumbles to himself as he walks through the big hallway.
It's students everywhere. Sitting on their lockers, talking to their friends, laughing and texting on their cell phones.
"I guess I would just interrupt them if I asked."
He looks down, staring at the gray floor as he walks. Not very smart, because suddenly he walks right into someone. Quickly, he looks up and sees a guy with long black hair and red eyes, with black lines under them going the whole way down his cheeks. He doesn't really show any emotions. They stare at each other without saying anything, until Deidara can't handle the awkward silence and breaks it.
"Ehm, hey… I'm Deidara and I'm new here" he says, trying to sound as friendly as possible "eh, I don't know where I'm supposed to go..."
"What's the name of your class?" the black haired teen asks with a low, monotone voice.
"I'm in the art class" Deidara answers, feeling uncomfortable near the other guy.
"Hm, that's my class" he says, still with the same monotone voice.
"Of course…" Deidara mumbles.
"If you follow me I will take you to our classroom" the taller guy says and walks away.
Deidara sighs and follows him. He really hopes that the others in his class aren't like this guy. It feels kind of difficult to talk to him and he's scary. When he looks at you it feels like he can see right through you.
They don't need to walk very far before they reach the classroom. The black haired guy opens the door and the most fantastic room Deidara ever seen in a school appears. Paintings are hanging and leaning against the walls, clay sculptures are standing on the tables together with tree figures that are lying down. The room is bright and the people in there seem to be so happy. Deidara smiles and his eyes sparkle. He never though a school could have such an awesome room.
"Wow, I love this room" he says impressed and looks at the black haired teen beside him "thanks for the help... ehm.., you never told me your name…"
"It's because you never asked."
"Well.., what's your name then?"
"Itachi."
"Okay, thank you… now I know…" Deidara says, not really knowing what else he's supposed to say.
Again, there is an awkward silence between them, but it doesn't last for long. Itachi looks down at Deidara, making the blonde once again feel uncomfortable.
"W-what is it?"
"Would you like to meet my friends?"
Deidara blinks several times, staring at the taller teen with a surprised expression.
"…Why?"
"I like you and I think the others would to" is the answer the blonde gets.
On the outside the blonde smiles and looks happy, but on the inside he's scared. What if the others are like Itachi? The though isn't really appealing.
"They are sitting over there" Itachi says and points at a group of laughing and talking teenagers surrounding a table furthest in the room.
He walks towards them with Deidara right behind him.
"Hey guys" he says, still not changing the tone in his voice.
"Itachi! Hey!" a guy with blue, spiky hair greets.
His eyes are small and the skin is pale, almost turning blue. Even if he looks scary, Deidara thinks he seems to be a nice guy.
"Where have you been?" another guy with long brown hair and green eyes asks with a dark voice.
Itachi points at Deidara and it's like no one noticed him until now. Everyone stares at him like he would be an animal at the zoo, which makes the blonde nervous.
"Who is this?" the blue guy asks.
Itachi nods to Deidara like he is giving the smaller boy permission to talk.
"M-my name is Deidara…" he answers shyly.
"Deidara you say" a guy with white hair and light purple eyes says as he leans over the table, his gray necklace rattle against it "Cute name. Nice to fucking meet you! I'm Hidan."
Deidara waves shyly with his hand and says hi.
"Well, this blue guy is Kisame, next to me with the brown hair is Kakuzu and the guy on my other side with the orange hair is Pain."
The guy named Pain has a lot of piercings, which Deidara can't stop staring at. He never thought you could have so many in the head area and still look good.
"The girl besides Kisame with the blue-purple hair is Konan, Pains girlfriend, so don't even think of touching her" Hidan says threatening, but then he laughs, ignoring Pains glare "Okay, moving on… The guy next to her with the short black hair is Tobi, a really weird guy, but don't mock him. He's a relative to Itachi and trust me, you don't want to get in a fight with him. The guy with green hair and black and white skin is Zetsu. He was in a chemistry accident as a kid and that's why his skin has two colors. And then we have the redhead on the edge of the table.., and he is sleeping..!"
Everyone turns around to look at the sleeping teen.
"Hey, can someone wake that stupid puppet maniac?" Hidan asks irritated.
"Yo, wake up" Zetsu says as he shakes the redhead by the shoulders.
The eyes of the sleeping teen, which apparently are glossy brown, are slowly going up and he yawns loudly.
"What is it?" he asks tiredly.
"You need to say hello to our new friend!" Tobi says happily, almost jumping up and down as he points at Deidara.
The redheads' eyes travel to the other side of the table where the blonde is standing. They get eye contact and for some seconds they are only staring at each other.
"Well, aren't you going to introduce yourself?" Pain asks, as if the redhead would be ill-mannered.
"I know that" the no longer sleeping teen states.
He closes his eyes, coughs once in his fist and then he looks back at the blonde, with a big, warm smile on his lips.
"Hey" he says with a soft voice, not sounding tired anymore "I'm Sasori."
I must say that I actually got bored when I wrote this chapter. I thought it was so boring -_-" But I did it, I succeeded to end it!
