Chapter 2: More than friends?
A week had gone by since the Akatsuki had first come to our school, and Fire and I hung out with them at lunch and after school, as well as the classes we had with them. I found out that not only did I have math with Sasori, but I had it with Tobi as well, but he was absent the first day. Just what I need first thing in the morning. The only seat in the class other than the one in the back that Sasori now occupied was right next to me, because nobody wanted to be next to me first thing in the morning, as I was prone to angry outbursts and spazzes.
Tobi wouldn't shut up. He never did. I leaned my head on my hand, staring at the wall blankly as the orange masked teen chattered on and on. He wore black pants and a black long sleeved turtleneck shirt, and black gloves. Not an inch of skin showing.
"TOBI WILL YOU JUST SHUT UP!?!?" I screeched, standing up from my chair as I did so. " I SWEAR I'M GOING TO GO INSANE IF YOU DON'T SHUT YOUR TRAP AND KEEP IT CLOSED!!!!" Tobi shrank back in his chair and muttered a quick apology as the class stared at me and the teacher rolled her eyes. She had long since stopped trying to get me to stop my outbursts. I was used to having an entire class's faces towards me when I did something more idiotic than usual. A few kids laughed, and as I glared at everyone in the class before I sat down I saw a small amused smirk on Sasori's pale face, though he continued his work.
I had no math homework, thank god. I hate math. Always have, always will, though it's my best class. I headed off to gym where we were playing volleyball. I described this morning's spazz to Konan and Fire as I glared across the large gym where I could see Tobi epically phailing in his class. He still wore his black clothes, the only one who didn't have to change because of a 'health condition'. I sucked at volleyball, but Konan wasn't bad, and neither was Fire. When the ball came my way, Konan tried to get it as often as she could, while Fire stood and laughed as I screamed and cringed. Volleyball really wasn't my sport. My team knew by now not to let me near a volleyball, or someone was bound to get hurt. And it would probably end up being me. Gym was over soon, and the three of us headed off to meet the others for lunch after stopping to grab our food, and Tobi followed us like a little dog wearing a mask. That was said to be a medical condition too.
Lunch was always interesting. We never bothered with the overcrowded cafeteria, so we all met outside to eat, as the weather was still nice for October. When the four of us arrived I looked around to see that we were the last ones there. Again. We always sat in the same circle in the brownish grass. Itachi, Kisame, Kakuzu, Hidan, Fire, me, Deidara, Sasori, Konan, Tobi. Pein stayed at home and pretended to be their foster father, which made Fire and I crack up when we found out. I took my seat beside Deidara and pulled out my sandwich. My mom never packed me anything different, and most of the time I didn't even get a drink. I didn't see him until lunch often, unless I saw him in the halls on my way to gym, as our first period classes were switched, so we always had to pass each other.
We were all talking animatedly- well, all of us except for Itachi, Sasori, and Kakuzu (who was counting his money. . . wow) – and we never really ate much. It always made me laugh to look at Fire and Hidan at lunch, seeing how it showed how much they liked each other, though it probably did with Deidara and I as well. We weren't specifically talking to anybody. It was more like a huge messed up conversation with people jumping in at random times and stopping to have side conversations with someone else. It really was a sight to see, us all sitting there talking and most of us being idiots.
As always, the bell rang too soon, and we all got up to go to our respective classes after grabbing our binders and such. All of our binders were covered in doodles and writing, except Itachi's. Sasori's were covered in more intricate drawings though, no real 'doodling'. Fire, Hidan, Deidara, and I all has Science next. Science was always fun, and now Hidan and Deidara had switched seats so that Deidara was in front of me, and Hidan in front of Fire. As we worked they often turned around to talk, and Hidan's new excuse for his swearing was that he had tourette's syndrome . It was kinda sad that the teachers all believed him so easily, so he could swear all he wanted.
We were supposed to be doing a weird booklet on the chemicals we work with in class. We all thought it was pretty boring, and most of the class wasn't really working, though the booklet was about 10 pages long. Deidara and Hidan were turned around talking to Fire and I and Ms. Dignem walked by, stopping in the small aisle beside our desks.
"I would appreciate less talking and more working please" she said, ignoring the rolls of our eyes.
"Motherfucker" Hidan muttered, adding unnecessary twitches to make it look like he really did have tourette's. I flipped off the teacher under the large desk as she walked away, and Deidara and Hidan turned around grudgingly. Deidara wore gloves on his hands so that the mouths on his hands weren't visible, and nobody really mentioned them.
"I don't think she likes us very much. . . other people are turned around talking but THEY don't get in trouble. . ." I hissed to Fire and she nodded.
"I don't think any teacher likes us" she laughed quietly. It was too true.
Science was over. It was my only class with Deidara sadly, so I gave him a quick hug before skipping down the halls hyperly, as was normal. I always gave him a 'friendly' hug before I left him, which I'm happy to say he returned. Every time. Fire also gave Hidan one –which he also returned- but she had no need at the moment since we had music with him. I ran after them since they left without me. . . bitches. I could see Fire's curly brown hair and Hidan's slicked back silver, but people wouldn't let me through, so I jumped up and down impatiently in the middle of the hallway.
"WILL YOU PEOPLE JUST MOVE!?!?" I screamed. The kids crowding the hall all looked at me and the swarm moved to make an opening just big enough to let me through. "Thank you" I said calmly, running through to Fire and Hidan who were standing a few yards down the hall laughing at my outburst. People seemed to be avoiding the laughing pair, probably because of Hidan's insane laugh.
Fire and I had taken to beating up Kisame in music, though the teacher didn't notice. The clarinets had a rest, though the flutes were still playing. Since Kisame was on my right, my flute was behind his head as I played, and I jerked It forwards to hit him in the back of his blue head, while continuing to play. His head snapped forwards and smacked into the music stand that we shared and he stopped playing.
"OW!" he complained.
"Kisame! Keep playing and be quiet!" Mrs. White wasn't sure why the blue man did this every class, but we were all sure she was getting fed up with it. Over the class you could barely hear Hidan's laugh as he played drums. He had been moved to the kit, which he liked a lot better. Kisame glared at be before he continued to play, and Fire smacked him in the back of the head with her clarinet, perfectly times so as soon as she did she had to start playing again, the rests over.
I just faintly heard the hiss from Hidan, but I heard it all the same.
"Fire! Watch this!" I glanced back, knowing that this was probably something I wanted to see. Hidan glanced around before spazzing on the black drum kit, going into a really complicated riff. Everyone in the class stopped playing and turned to gape at him, and Fire, Kisame, and I all burst out laughing.
"Um, Hidan I appreciate the enthusiasm, but could you please stick to what's written on the sheet?" Mrs. White asked him.
"I'm sorry, it's my musician's creativity. I just have to express myself" you could tell that Hidan was trying not to laugh as he said this, and it caused the three of us to laugh harder, me falling off of my chair and lying on the hard ground laughing, which caused even more laughter. By this point everyone in the class was staring at us, but once we got under control we continued to play, though there was random giggles from me, as I just couldn't stop.
When I got to my locker, Deidara was leaning against it, arguing with Sasori loudly. I couldn't help it when my eyes wandered up and down his body. He was wearing dark blue jeans and a blue shirt with that said 'I'm Art' on it in big lime green letters. I guessed the topic as soon as I heard their voices and whaddaya know? I was right. Art. I walked up behind the blonde and neither of them seemed to notice me until I cut in.
"Art's a bang, retard" I said to Sasori.
"Great Dei, your girlfriend's here so you can team up on me" he commented dryly. Deidara moved so that I could get into my locker and I could see a bit of red on what was visible of his face.
"She's not my girlfriend, un" he grumbled.
"Whatever" the red-head muttered as he grabbed his bag and walked down the hall. Deidara turned to me, but he was avoiding my eyes.
"Unless you want to be my girlfriend?" he looked up now, and I grinned broadly. All of the Akatsuki knew that I was a Deidara fangirl, and that Fire was a Hidan fangirl, so I wasn't sure why Deidara was even asking.
"FUCK YES!" I screamed and gave him a big hug. He laughed and hugged me back, but sadly he had to leave to meet the rest of the Akatsuki.
"I'll see you tomorrow, un. Bye" he said as he dashed down the hall.
I skipped off to meet Fire, practically glowing in happiness. The weather seemed to reflect my mood. The sky was bright blue and it was unseasonably warm out. Fire looked smug when I met her outside, and I immediately asked what had happened.
"Hidan asked me out" she said proudly, smirking. I laughed.
"Deidara asked me out too" I almost yelled it and then laughed again. When I got home I kept glancing at the clock. Was it possible for time to drag more slowly? I had thought that the first day the Akatsuki had come to Pine Ridge too, but now I wasn't just seeing the person I was obsessed with, I was dating him.
Math again. Deidara seemed to have told everyone that we were going out since Tobi kept going on and on. . . and on about it. I drowned it out the best I could, and I ended up falling asleep near the end of class. The bell ringing jolted me awake. I screamed and jumped up.
"OH MY GOD FIRE!!!!" I yelled, mistaking the bell for the fire alarm. Once I realized that everyone was staring at me as if I had grown a second head before laughing their asses off, I shook my head a few times as if to clear the sleep from it. "Shit" I muttered as I grabbed my stuff and ran, laughing at my own stupidity. As I ran to gym, I tripped on my way down the stairs and I fell all the way down, though someone caught me as I neared the bottom. I looked up to see that it was Deidara who had caught me, on his way to math. "Heh. . . Hi" I said with a slight laugh.
"Be careful, un" he said with a smile. "We all know how clumsy you are. You don't need to be hurting yourself now". I laughed and stood up hugging him quickly.
"Awwwwww" I looked up to see Hidan and Kisame laughing at us as they walked to art together, but it was Kisame who had spoken. I flipped them off before turning back to Dei.
"I gotta go. See you at lunch. Thanks and bye!" I dashed off again, but not before hearing him say 'bye' as well.
I got to gym and described my morning to Fire while we were playing dodge ball, and Konan was on the other team. I'm happy to say, we were kicking her team's ASSES. I didn't really throw much, but I'm good at dodging. Hanging out with Fire for most of my spare time has given me uber good reflexes. We stuck as close as we could to each other so that she could hear my story, as my mornings were always more interesting than hers, and she laughed her ass off the entire time- except for the part where I flipped Hidan and Kisame off. . . she smacked me for 'being mean' to Hidan. Like he's never mean to me! In the end, our team won three out of four games, and we spent about ten minutes rubbing into Konan's face that we won. I'm not sure why we find amusement in that, but idiots can find amusement in the simplest and randomest things.
We sat in the same circle in the scratchy grass for lunch of course, and Fire brought up an interesting proposal.
"The band is starting today! Whoever can play an instrument should join! We get to go to Wonderland in May! It's gonna be AWESOME!! So who's gonna join?" My hand immediately shot up at her words, followed by hers (duh), Hidan's, Deidara's, and Kisame's. I turned to Deidara.
"What instrument do you play?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Tenor Sax. " he replied with a grin. I nodded. I could picture that.
"This is gonna be AWESOME!" My fist shot in the air as I said so, picturing Deidara playing the sax.
We left to make it to the band practice, leaving the rest of them to talk amongst themselves, though it was considerably quieter since the loudest people in the group had left. I held Deidara's hand as we walked through the shabby halls of Crime Ridge as naturally as if we had been dating for a year, even though it had only been a day. I noticed that Hidan and Fire also held hands, and that Kisame kept glancing behind him as if wishing Itachi was with us. Fire and I had found out quite quickly and not to mention awkwardly, that Kisame and Itachi were gay for each other when we had been looking for the Akatsuki and walked around a bush in front of the building and caught them making out. None of us had mentioned the incident, but definitely none of us had forgotten it.
Band practice went normally. Oh my god it's a miracle. No laughing, no beating up Kisame, no random spazzes on the drums, no squeaking. Normal wasn't something any of us were used to. We were playing some cool pieces, but they were all Christmassy, as that was the first concert we would be in. We didn't actually play the full song for any of them, only about a quarter to see what we would be playing. After band, my thoughts drifted ahead to Halloween. It was in a few weeks, and I had NO idea what I was going to be, as we had all agreed to dress up, no matter how much any of us didn't want to. I personally was fine with dressing up like an idiot, though I'm sure some of the Akatsuki weren't too pleased with the agreement. It would definitely be a fuckin' funny day.
