After putting on my outfit for the day [A white tanktop, blue and black skirt, and black tie], I ran downstairs and met Naruto by the door.
"Bye mom, we'll probably be back late!" he yelled.
"Have a good day you two, study hard!"
"Yeah right," Naruto grunted.
I smirked and shook my head.
"Bye Kushina!" I called, shutting the door.
We began walking down the sidewalk and I stared up at the clouds.
"Are you nervous?" he asked.
"Oh hell yeah, a new highschool? I mean, I wasn't exactly liked at my last one but I've never transfered anywhere before," I explained.
"Don't worry, I'll get you in my group," he replied.
"Are they nice?" I asked.
"Well... they're not mean," he replied cryptically.
I was about to ask what he meant when he yelled out and ran.
"Naruto, damn you," I cried, following close on his heels.
He stopped by a group of people and I had to grab onto him to stop my feet.
"Don't do that!" I yelled.
"Sorry Kaia, I thought you'd be able to keep up," he replied.
I shot him a glare while the group laughed.
"Anyway, this is Kaia, she's kind of like a sister to me now," Naruto explained.
I waved and the group introduced themselves one by one. There was Kiba, Choji, Shikamaru, Sakura, Lee, Tenten, and Neji.
"There's a bunch more of us around somewhere, but not everyone stays strictly in this group," Sakura said.
"Ah, I see, so are you all sophomores?"
"No, Lee, Tenten, and I are juniors," Neji explained.
I nodded and kind of sat back as they began chatting away. I kind of felt left out but said nothing. I jumped as I heard the bell ring.
"Come on, I'll show you to your locker," Naruto said, grabbing my arm and pulling.
I growled as my arm was almost yanked from its socket.
"Naruto! Calm down!" I yelled.
He paused and let me go, waving me along the fast-filling hallway. Suddenly I couldn't see him, and dozens of people rushed past me, taking no care for my toes or shouldering me.
"Is everyone in this school an utter asshole?" I growled.
"Always talk to yourself?" someone asked.
I turned in surprise and saw Kiba at a locker.
"Kiba! Um, can you show me where my locker is? I lost Naruto..." I said, blushing slightly.
He chuckled and grabbed his books.
"Sure, maybe we'll even run into him along the way," he replied, "What's your locker number?"
"2316," I replied.
"Oh, you're actually close to me then," he said.
He stopped and turned, pointing at a locker.
"Thanks!" I cried, "You're a savior!"
"I guess you'll just owe me now won't you?" he asked teasingly.
"As long as I don't have to scrub any floors, I'm good for it!" I replied with a laugh.
I turned to my locker and read my combination. I tried it a couple times, and still it wouldn't open. The crowd began to thin and I felt slightly nervous.
"My first day and everything has to fall apart doesn't it?" I grumbled to myself.
As I continued to try, I noticed the hall completely empty.
"Crap!" I cried.
I snorted and slammed my fist against the metal. To my surprise, it came open.
"Of course, stupid fucking thing," I snarl.
I put my bag in the hollow and set my books up, taking out the ones I needed before lunch. I quickly ran down the hall way and right as I entered the classroom, the bell rang.
"Well well, who are you?" a calm voice asked.
I looked up to see a man with long black hair and bright golden eyes like mine.
"I'm Kaia Hikaru sir, is this Chemistry?" I asked.
"Yes, I am Mr. Orochimaru, take a seat next to Mr. Uchiha, on the left side of the room," he explained.
I nodded and rushed to sit next to the raven haired boy. He took a look at me and I smiled slightly. I quickly opened my book to the instructed page and stared at the board. Coming in during the first quarter of the year, I was slightly nervous trying to learn what I had missed the previous two months. Sure, I was smart to an extent, but I was definitely not a genius and science was my weak subject.
"The total number of electrons that can occupy the principal energy level n is 2n^2," Mr. Orochimaru stated, writing on the board.
I quickly noted this and other boring notes on the Electronic Structure of an atom. It was a long class filled with all kinds of information that kind of blew past me. I let out a soft sigh and looked around the classroom. The boy next to me caught my attention for a moment. He was rather handsome, and he had beautiful handwriting. He looked up and shot me a glare. I looked away quickly and hid my blush well. Suddenly the bell rang, saving me from any more embarrassment. I jumped up and ran fast towards the door. Pulling out my schedule, I realized that I had English Composition next. I looked around for someone to ask but everyone was running by or with a bunch of friends.
"Why were you staring at me?" a chilling voice asked.
I turned and saw Uchiha next to me.
"I was actually staring at your notebook, I was debating whether or not to ask for your notes," I lied convincingly.
He said nothing but handed his folder over.
"You're living with Uzumaki right?" he asked.
I nodded.
"He's coming by tonight, so just give it to him before he leaves," he instructed, walking off.
I watched him, my thoughts kind of blurred, but ran after him.
"Uchiha!" I yelled.
He stopped short and turned, an annoyed look on his face.
"Um, I'm sorry, but do you know where the English Composition class is?" I asked.
He nodded and motioned his head, as if to follow him. I quickly increased my speed but noticed I was losing him.
"Uchiha?" I called.
He stopped and I saw his eyes roll before he extended his hand. I took it gratefully and wrapped my arm in his, releasing his hand quickly. His lips twitched into a smirk.
"What's up Uchiha?" I asked.
"First off, my name is Sasuke, and second, most girls would die to hold my hand," he said.
"Really?" I asked, tilting my head.
He looked down at me and nodded.
"It's no secret, I have a lot of fangirls," he muttered.
As if on cue, I heard gasps and angry growls. A large group of girls standing against the opposite side of the hall way had their mouths hanging open. I groaned and rolled my eyes.
"Why didn't you warn me about them before?" I whined.
He smirked and stopped in front of a room.
"Here, and don't forget to give the fold-"
"I know, I know, Naruto needs the notes," I replied, smiling, "Thanks for showing me to my class Sasuke-bishie."
His face went even paler and I couldn't help but laugh.
"Oh come on, it fits so well," I teased.
"Get in there before I smack you," he growled.
I frowned but hurried into class. I looked around and saw a girl alone in the back corner. She had long midnight blue hair and a soft expression on her face. Seeing as she was the only one in the room, I decided to try to make conversation.
"Um, hi," I said, taking the chair next to her.
She jumped and her face lit up bright red.
"H-Hello," she mumbled.
"I'm Kaia, I'm new here, I'm living with Naruto Uzumaki, do you know him?" I asked.
"Oh y-yes, I know N-Naruto well, he's in my group of friends," she explained.
"That's awesome, I guess we'll be seeing each other a lot then," I replied, giving her a gentle smile.
She nodded and smiled back.
"S-So what do you think of the school so far?" she asked.
"It's big, and loud, and people aren't exactly kind, but I kind of like it," I explained, taking my notebook out.
I looked up as the door opened. In walked a bunch of groups, a few of them I recognized from this morning as Naruto's friends.
"Hey, there's Kira," Kiba said.
He waved enthusiastically and came towards the back of the room. Shikamaru and Choji followed him and waved. I waved back and moved my bag off the desk next to mine.
"I see you found second period no trouble," he said.
"Well, I wouldn't necessarily say that, I had to have help from Sasuke," I replied, my cheeks heating up.
"He actually helped you?" Kiba asked.
I quirked my eyebrow.
"Is that bad?"
"No, it's just, he usually strays away from girls," he replied.
I shrugged.
"He did seem rather peeved off that he had to help me," I said, remembering how he acted.
"Now that's normal." Choji input.
I turned and saw him munching on barbecue chips.
"Dude! I'm starving! Share!" I whined.
He gave me a confused look and offered the bag over. I immediately began gobbling the delicious junk food.
"Aren't most women worried about not eating junk food?" Choji asked.
"Well, around here they are," Shikamaru sighed.
"Okay, let me just throw this out here, I don't and will not ever wear a size zero, I will not starve myself, I'm a gamer and thus junk food and soda is my life!" I explained.
"Well, thank you for that tidbit, now can we begin class?" a man in a mask asked.
I groaned and blushed, dropping my head to the desk. The classroom snickered and I elbowed Kiba to shut him up.
"I take it you are the new student, Kaia Hikaru," the man stated.
"Yes," I replied simply.
"I'm Mr. Hatake, the English teacher," he replied, "Now everyone please take out your copy of 'To Kill A Mockingbird'."
I looked around nervous and raised my hand.
"Mr. Hatake, I don't have a copy," I replied.
"Ah, right, just a second," he said.
He rummaged around a drawer then let out a sigh.
"Kiba, you'll have to share with Kaia until I can get another copy from the library," Mr. Hatake said.
"Sure thing Mr. H," Kiba replied.
He reached over and right as I was about to ask why, he yanked my chair close to his desk. I gasped in surprise but shut my mouth quickly as Mr. Hatake began talking.
"So have you read this before?" Kiba asked.
"Nope, how far are you into it?"
"Well, we're on the 20th page so you haven't missed much," he replied.
I nodded and reached up to turn the page but ended up brushing his hand.
"Sorry dude," I murmured.
I tried to hide my blush but his grin said he noticed it.
"Don't. Say. A. Word," I grunted.
"Your secret's safe with me," he teased.
I rolled my eyes and started reading the pages. Soon the class was over and it was third period. It was gym.
"Great my least favorite class, where you actually have to be active, why can't they have a gaming class? Or a zombie survival course?" I snorted.
"Because, that would be too easy," Kiba replied.
He stood by my locker as I punched it to open it.
"You okay?"
"Yeah, it wouldn't open this morning so I had to punch it, I thought it would do the same again," I murmured meekly.
He started laughing but I shot him a glare and he shut up, just smirking. I grabbed my gym clothes and followed him to the locker rooms.
"Well, I'll see you in the gym," he called.
I nodded and made my way through the girls crowding the walk way.
"Hey Kaia," a girl yelled.
I turned and saw Tenten. She waved me over and I happily obliged. I sat my clothes down and saw a girl next to her with four blonde spiky ponytails. She smiled and started stripping. I looked away with a blush and realized I should probably change as well. I yanked my shirt off and quickly replaced it with my black wife-beater.
"You don't like changing in public do you?" Tenten asked.
"Um, not really, I'm not very comfortable with my body," I admitted.
"Aw, don't be worried, you've got a cute body, I'd die to be like you," the blonde replied.
I looked at her in surprise.
"You're gorgeous, why would you say that?" I asked.
"You're better looking than you give yourself credit for," Tenten replied, "Oh, this is Temari by the way."
I nodded and focused on thinking about how to change my pants quickly. I pulled them down and stepped in the shorts that framed my butt and made my legs look pretty hot. I pulled my hair up in a fountain ponytail and turned just to see Temari grinning.
"Jeez girl, you have a cute butt!" Temari chirped.
"I do not, it's big!" I retorted.
"Whatever you say crazy," Temari snorted.
I rolled my eyes but blushed slightly. I had never liked my body but apparently it wasn't as bad as I thought.
"Come on, let's get out there, the gym teacher is pretty... strict," Tenten sighed.
We went down the hall that led to the gym and I saw the boys leaning against a wall in groups talking and goofing off. Finally I spotted Kiba with Naruto, Lee, Neji, Shikamaru and Sasuke. I pointed them out to the girls and we ran over.
"Hey guys, did you- whoa!" Naruto yelled.
I raised my eyebrow and Kiba smirked.
"I agree."
"Agree? With what? I'm confused," I asked, looking at the girls.
"I told you, you look hot," Temari whispered.
"Dude, I don't know if I can see you as family Kaia, you're smoking!" Naruto cried.
I turned blood red and punched him gently.
"Shut it baka," I growled.
"I don't know Kaia, he's right," Kiba replied.
"Do I need to hit you too?" I asked.
I raised my fist in warning and he grinned, putting up his hands in surrender.
"Okay students! Five laps around the court, everyone running! If I catch you walking, it'll be 100 push-ups!"
Everyone groaned and I saw a tall man with a bowl-cut like Lee's grinning.
"Get going!" he yelled.
Temari pulled me and I sighed, catching up with everyone. I watched as everyone jogged or ran, and soon noticed Naruto and Sasuke running their hearts out.
"Are they racing?" I asked.
"Yep, they do it every period," Tenten said.
"Lame," I groaned.
They passed us and I swear Sasuke looked at me for a moment. I questioned it but said nothing, just wanting this running to be finished soon. After a few more laps, we stopped and I hunched over, slightly panting.
"Come on Kaia, you're not that out of shape!" Naruto teased.
"Shut it, you may be faster but just remember, we are living together now," I retorted.
He jumped back and apologized profusely. I smirked and rose.
"Alright! We're playing indoor volleyball again today, so line up and I will pick captains," Mr. Maito instructed.
I ended up between Sakura and some random girl.
"Why we're you holding Sasuke's hand today?" Sakura whispered.
"I was getting lost and he was trying to keep me up to speed," I replied, "Why?"
"Oh, just wondering, some people might get the wrong idea if you aren't careful," she warned.
I looked at her and wondered if she included herself in that group. I shook my head and decided to ignore it. Kiba and Sasuke were chosen as the captains and I smiled.
"Sasuke, you get to choose first," Mr. Maito said.
"Neji," he said.
"Naruto," Kiba chorused.
They slowly went down their friends and then I saw Sasuke turn in our direction. Probably for Sakura.
"Kaia," he said.
I jumped and looked around. Before I looked like an idiot, I ran over, nodding my head at him.
"No fair, I was going to choose her!" Kiba yelled.
"Should have chosen her sooner dog-boy," Sasuke teased.
Kiba growled but continued down the group. I heard a few girls whispering and turned to see Sakura and a few girls almost glaring in my direction.
"Damn fan-girls," I whispered.
"Be careful, they'll probably try a few low blows," Hinata warned me quietly.
"Thanks," I replied.
Sasuke led our team over to one side of the court as Gai put the net up.
"Sasuke, why'd you have to pick me?" I growled in his ear.
He smirked.
"For payback," he replied.
"Payback for what?" I yelped.
I couldn't remember doing anything horrible to him.
"Take back what you said about me being bishie and I'll leave you alone," he said seriously.
"Dude, did that really bother you that much?" I deadpanned.
He said nothing but narrowed his eyes.
"Oh god, this is too good, I know something that actually bugs the woman-hater Uchiha! I'm so not taking it back!" I snorted, laughter filling my voice.
"Fine, have it your way, but you've started a war," he murmured.
'Just how far is he willing to take this?' I wondered to myself.
I readied myself as Gai tossed us the ball and played my hardest. Our team won by one score thanks to Sasuke and I. At the end, I met up with Tenten and Temari and we headed into the locker room.
"So, I have a secret for you guys," I told them, walking towards the showers with my clothes.
They followed and we crowded into one of the five group showers. We closed the curtain and undressed.
"Well, what is it?" Temari asked impaitently.
"Sasuke has a vendetta against me because I called him a bishie," I said, turning the stream of water on.
As I warmed it up, I continued, "He said he's going to get payback, mostly by letting his fangirls become pissed at me."
"That's just evil, what an ass," Tenten scoffed.
"Right? I agree!" I replied.
I rinsed my hair and quickly washed off, finishing and smelling like blueberries.
"So, are either of you dating someone in this school?" I asked.
"Well, Temari likes Shikamaru, but he's too lazy to ask her out," Tenten smirked, "And I kind of have a crush on someone."
"Only trouble is, she can't decide if she's straight or gay," Temari teased.
I laughed and grinned like a fool.
"Why not just be bi? I am!" I said.
They both looked at me in surprise.
"What?" I asked.
I started feeling like maybe I had said something bad.
"That's awesome! We're all three in the same boat!" Tenten cried.
I grinned and chuckled.
"Have you guys ever actually done anything with women?" I asked.
"I've made out with a couple girls but Tenten is an innocent," Temari said, smirking.
"Shut up, it's just that no one wants to!"
"Why haven't you helped her out Temari?" I asked.
I finished drying off and pulled my outfit back on.
"What? That'd be weird..." they both said.
I shrugged.
"Just a suggestion," I replied.
"It's not a bad idea, I just never thought about it," Temari said honestly.
I smiled.
"See, well, it's not like it's important really, maybe that guy you like could introduce you to the ways Tenten," I teased, winking.
She blushed and pulled her back into it's buns.
"He would never, he sees me as just a friend," she murmured.
"Neji is an asshole sometimes," Temari agreed.
"Neji? As in long-haired Neji?" I asked in surprise.
She nodded and I hmm'd. It kind of surprised me but I saw why. He was handsome, and maybe they meshed emotionally for all I knew.
"Anyway, it's time for lunch, let's get going," Temari said.
We grabed our belongings but only made it half way out before a trio stepped in front of us. It was Sakura, some blonde, and a red head.
"Listen new girl, we're giving you once chance and one chance only, leave our Sasuke alone or you'll get it," the blonde snarled.
"Okay blondie-bear, now that you're done putting on a tough act, let me past," I sighed.
Temari and Tenten laughed at their expressions as we pushed past.
"People need to do that more often," Tenten said laughing.
"Do what?" Naruto asked.
I caught Sasuke's eye and smirked.
"Well, you see, Sasuke-bishie's fan-girls threatened me and I put them in their place," I said, grinning.
"B-Bi-Bishie?" Kiba howled with laughter.
"I'm going to kill you Kaia," Sasuke growled.
I just smirked and flung my arm around Naruto.
"Doubtful," I retorted, "My brother here might have a problem with that."
He glared at me but just turned and walked off.
"You like pissing him off don't you?" Tenten asked.
"He's fun," I replied, smirking, "Now, lunch!"
