Hello again, my readers! (I have readers? Amaaaaa~zing!) Anteeways... I finally updated to my second chapter! Woot! And a ratio of 3:1 of good to bad, my reviews were pretty good for the first chapter. Unfortunately, though, the bad review did bring down my spirits a little. BUT! Not to worry! My friends cheered me up and gave me better reviews! :D And doodlebug720 told me: "Do not fret! I am here to vanquish this horrible evildoer!" Okay, that was an exaggeration, but it's pretty much the same meaning. And unfortunately, I can not but update every Sunday, for that is the only time I can update. :P What with school and all. /.- Annnn~d my computer screen was being a noob and died of smoking too much. Typical. So now, my update will definitely be on the down low. But I use my boyfriend's laptop to update every Sunday, so it's all good. Well, I will stop talking so you can finally read my update! :D
I hope you enjoy!
(Reviews are very much welcomed, even those who think I should burn for my incompetent content. :P)
Disclaimer: As much as it pains me to say (in every freaking chapter) I do NOT own any Naruto episodes, manga, merchandise, characters, slaves... ANTEEWAYS! It all belongs to my version of God: Masashi Kishimoto! XD
Chapter 2:
Love at First Sight?
Neji just stared at me. And I mean, just stared. He was staring holes into my eyes, more like it. I started to feel uncomfortable from his intense staring. He wasn't saying anything, so I felt awkward if I would suddenly say something. So, I looked down, breaking the connection of our eyes. And he still didn't say anything. I started freaking out from the feeling in the air surrounding us.
So, I ran.
I ran into the school, leaving Neji and Ino staring after me, dumbstruck. Well, what did you expect? After not being friends with anyone for a while, I started to become shy. And feeling uncomfortable back there made me freak out. Thus me running into the building. Plus, class was going to start in ten minutes, which didn't give me that much time to find and put my things into my locker. But, I managed.
I made it into my first class on my schedule just before the bell rang, earning me the time to seat in my seat without getting yelled at by the teacher. Score one for me.
As I sat down, I looked up at the board to read the objective for today. But, there wasn't any up yet. Usually there was some on the first day of school. So, I just sat there.
Starting to get bored, I pull out a notebook to draw in. With my head down, I drew a chibi kitsune. As I was working on it, I started thinking about Neji. I didn't know anything about him. But with the last name, I'm guessing he's related to Hinata Hyuga. She's a very shy girl, shyer than me. We didn't talk much, but we do every now and then. Luckily, she doesn't ask about me being a loner. Even if she is someone I could trust; I didn't feel the need to tell her.
I kept drawing, until I realized that the picture I drew, on accident, was a heart with Neji's name in the middle of it. I blushed and started erasing it. I started to wonder what time it was, so I looked at the clock and gasped. It's already nine o'clock. It's been 45 minutes since the beginning of class. This leads me to wonder:
What was I thinking about that took that long to notice this?
When did the bell ring?
Where the hell is the teacher?
And it turns out I wasn't the only one wondering where the teacher was. Everybody was chatting and gossiping about the teacher not being here. They say that he was new, possibly, so that may be one reason why he's not here. Others say that he's "making love" to some female student or teacher in the teacher's lounge or supply closet. I highly doubted it. If he's new, there would be no way. And how do we even know it's a guy? It could be a woman…
Just as I was about to go back to drawing, the door opened to show a tall man with light gray, spiky hair. He walked into the room. He set his books down on the desk and turned toward the board. Everyone was quiet and was watching him write the words: "MR. HATAKE" in big bold letters. After that, he set the chalk down and turned towards the class. He had a mask that covered his nose and mouth and a scar over his left eye. A boy with blond spiky hair (I knew him as Naruto) raised his hand and asked, "Why do you have a mask on?"
Mr. Hatake glanced at him and simply said, "None of your business," and smiled through his mask. The boy slowly brought his hand down. The teacher started talking to the rest of the class.
"Hello, class. As you can see, my name is Mr. Hatake. You can read it on the board. And if you can't read, you really shouldn't be here, because I teach English AP, which involves a lot of reading, a lot of writing, and a lot of headaches." He watches the class to see if there is a reaction, but with his scary scowl looming over us, we were too afraid to say or do anything.
He continued, "I'm a new teacher transferring in from across the country. I don't know any of you, and I don't expect any of you to know me, so please, all I ask is for your respect and to honor the rules of this school."
Everyone stared wide-eyed at Mr. Hatake. He gazed in each eye of the students before he continued on. "Nah, I'm just kidding. I really don't give a shit if you screw up the rules. That's on you. But I really do ask you to respect me in order to for me to respect you." Some of the kids laughed at what he said. He laughed along with them. Naruto whispered to Sasuke, his best friend, and they started laughing. Kakashi caught this and walked in front of their desks. He crouched down and laid his arms onto the table and leaned his chin in the middle of them.
He started laughing with them, which caused them to stop. He smiled after he was done laughing to ask: "What's so funny?" Naruto slowly looked away, avoiding his gaze. Sasuke just glared at him, hoping to break his cool composure. It didn't work.
Everyone is waiting to see what would happen. But just as Sasuke was about to say something, the door opened once again to reveal the one person I was hoping to not see.
Neji Hyuga.
Kakashi stands up and glances at the time. Fifteen more minutes till end of the block. He looks back at Neji. "You're late, you know?"
"Yeah? So are you." Neji stated. How did he know? Kakashi just shrugged.
"Touché." He gestures to a seat next to me. "You can sit here." Neji saw me and I blushed. Being person that he is, he smirked.
Kakashi moved to the front of the room and sighed. "Okay, everyone, this first class was a big waste of time, but do not fret. I will have many things planned for you next class." Everyone groaned, except for me, Neji, and Sasuke. Naturally. "Oh, stop complaining, like I said, 'a lot of reading, a lot of writing, and plenty of headaches.' Get used to it."
-Aw, do we have to?-
I could feel myself getting tired. I groaned. I don't need this. Luckily, it's near the end of class. She won't be complaining as much. Or not. I glance at Neji and he's staring at his desk. I peek to see what was there and there was a piece of paper with some writing on it, but I can't read it.
Nor do I want to read it. Kakashi was still talking, but he was interrupted by the bell. "Aw, well. See you next class. Play in the street." Inwardly, I laughed. I turned to the side to grab my book bag and put everything away.
When I came back up, I saw a folded piece of paper on the desk. Confused, I unfolded it and it read:
Sakura, I know your secret. Don't try to hide it.
I gulped and wide-eyed, I glanced to see if Neji was still there, but I saw him at the door, looking at me, before he turned and left. I felt like crying. I didn't want anyone to know.
But unfortunately, someone does know.
A/N: Wasn't that painful to read? Well, I never told you to read it, fools. Naw, I'm kidding. You know ya not fools. If you read ANY content, no matter how bad it is, of Naruto, then you are one smart motherfucker! XD (I have no idea what I am saying. O.o) Anteeways, remember I won't be updating till next Sunday, or again today if I have the time to do so. Until then, ta-ta for now!
