Tutoring for Dummies Ch 2
Holy crap I've gotten a lot of feedback on this story! *dizzy eyes* I never expected people to like this so much! This is the most reviews I've ever gotten on a single chapter I think! It's like… A TON! Thank you so much for all your support, I'll keep up the work! Also, I'm going to try and make Konoha Boarding like the Japanese school system. I live in America, so I don't exactly know how it works. Please bear with me and I'd love help if you have it!
Hmna: Thank you! I'll try to!
Likes to Smile: They're social retards…I might have to do a TobiHina next. That sounds so cute~ I'm glad you like it!
: Is that a good thing…?
Sepsis: Thank you so much~ Akatsuki are seventeen and everyone else (unless otherwise specified) is sixteen.
xm (): Kya~ Thank you~ I will~
lillee-of-the-vallee: Thank you so much~ I will!
SnowsShadow: I love you too! *glomps back* Please don't bow to me, though. I'm not worthy. Heh-heh, no, Naruto-baka's gonna show up! *evil eye glint* Ahhh~ I knew you were going to notice that. He's been left out of the Akatsuki teens for a very special reason. You'll find out in either this chapter or next. Haven't decided yet.
theoretical indecisive-ness: XD You made me laugh out loud and for that, I thank you! XD :3 I love imaginary beards. They're so… unreal.
AlyssHyuuga: Thank you~~ I hope it lives up to your expectations!

I wake up early the next morning. I feel butterflies fluttering in my stomach as I realize it's my first day of school. But it's also Friday. I smile a little in spite of myself. A thought comes to me as I get dressed.
Why not make your new roommate breakfast? That'll make you look really, really good~ The little voice inside my head says and I nod, not caring how stupid it would look if someone saw me.
Chocolate chip pancakes are the name of the game.
"Food~" The groan makes me jump when I see my zombie-fied roomie stumbling from her room. Her chocolate colored hair is out of its usual buns and she has a pair of glasses on.
"Right here," I whisper putting a plate of pancakes in front of her. She pours herself a cup of coffee and sits down, wolfing them down without syrup. The same way I do, I realize with a small smile. She gulps down the caffeinated drink and pours herself another mugful before she starts waking up.
"These are really good, Hina!" She beams at me and slows her eating down. "Nervous about your first day at Konoha or just trying to suck up?" I feel a blush creeping into my cheeks as I look away.
"A-A little of both," I mumble pressing my fingers together. Her laugh rings out and she finishes her breakfast happily.
"You shouldn't be. Nervous, that is. It's not that bad, we'll be in the same class. Sucking up…I could get used to that,"
…line…line…line…line…
"Class, we have a new student today," I feel my heart rate spike as the teacher, a pretty young woman named Kurenai, looks over at me with a kind smile. "Hyuuga-san, would you like to introduce yourself?" All eyes turn to me as I push my chair out and stand up.
"U-Um, my name is H-Hyuuga Hi-Hinata. I a-am sixteen and excited to be here," I say and sit back down quickly, staring intently at my desk. Our language teacher goes back to teaching. As soon as her back is turned, a paper ball lands on my desk. I glance back and see Kisame-I think that's his name-grinning. I unroll the note and read it.
Hinata
You really need to stop stuttering so much. If you're going to even attempt to tutor us, you have to seem strong. Work on your acting skills, we've got our first meeting with you during lunch in Blondie's office. You'll need all the help you can get. Don't worry, not all of us are as bad as we seem.
Good luck, you'll need it.
-Kisame
I feel myself pale a little at the idea of having a meeting with them. I write a quick thanks and fling it back before Kurenai turns around. I can barely hear him chuckle as Kurenai keeps talking in rapid-fire English. My cell phone vibrates silently in my pocket when I get a text and I bite my tongue. Bile wells up in my throat when I see the name on the front of my phone.
"Naruto-kun," I say to myself slipping my phone back into pocket.
"Hyuuga-san," Kurenai's voice makes me jump. "Can you translate the paragraph on page twenty to Japanese?" I nod and look down.
"My favorite day of the week is…Saturday. Saturday is the day I do not have to do homework. I like to go to the park with my friends on Saturday." Yeah…it's a really short paragraph.
"Very good," She sounds mildly surprised. The bell rings and she smiles. "Have a nice weekend," She adds over her shoulder before leaving to go to her next class. I flip open my phone and open the text.
Hina-chan! Where are you?!
Transferred to KBS I text back and sigh.
"Hinata!" Tenten skids over to my desk and perches on top of it. "OhmyKami, Iwa Deidara has been staring at you the entire class period!"
"W-What?" I squeak feeling my face go bright red.
"I know! You're new, but do you know about them?" When I shake my head she barrels on. "They're the hottest guys in school but they skip so much they've been held back. Total bad boys, but every girl wants at least one of them. The only one of them that's not been held back is Akatsuna Sasori. He's a total genius; I've heard rumors he's never missed a question. He passed because his grades are flawless." A light blush stains her neck and cheeks, letting me know she likes him. "He also plays the piano amazingly, there's nothing he can't do."
"Wow," I murmur glancing over at the seven, seeing girls flutter around them like bees on flowers.
"Each has their own fan club and they've been known to maul girls that get to close to 'their' respective guy. They don't have to do their homework or buy lunch. If they cough, twenty girls show up with cough drops. They sneeze and tissues are thrown at them."
"That's… weird," I admit with a small giggle.
"Would Hyuuga Hinata and Akatsuki please come to the office? Hyuuga Hinata and Akatsuki to the office, please." I go pale and Tenten's eyes go huge. That can't be good.
"Tobi wants to walk next to Hina-chan!" He says taking my hand and dragging me away. I can almost feel the daggers being glared into my back as I walk out of the room.
Yeah… Not my best work ever but I promise that next chapter will have tons of Akatsuki and fluff! And, for the lovely SnowsShadow, tons of Sasori. ;D Don't give up on this story~ It's going to get amazing soon!
