Author's Note: Haha! I'm sorry but, I just couldn't resist not putting 'him' on this chapter. He's just so creepy. It's actually a bit funny. Menma and Tobi have their first actual encounter. What'll happen?
It was already time for classes to start.
"I really wished he was gay."
"Well, I suppose that makes two of us. But I've heard the girls say that he's always flirting with them." Gaara replied.
"I can't believe they let someone like that teach classes here. Look at the way he's dressed. His hair and painted nails. He looks like a woman." Menma ranted.
"He doesn't have a woman's face. Besides, we're in the 21st century. People have more freedom of expression. There's no rule that says someone has to be gay to wear nail polish or any other stuff. Not to mention that he can actually pull it off. It makes him look exotic and..."
"Aha! You like him, don't you? Well then, why don't you build him a monument or something." An irritated Menma quipped. "Tell me the truth Gaara. Do you think he's better looking than me? Just tell me because, I can't ask a girl without looking like a total loser."
"It's just that you're both very different types of attractive. You're more... well... cute and he's... umm"
"What? I am not fuck!" Menma questioned as he crossed his arms in front of him.
"Okay, you're not... not... umm..."
"What? Of course I am damn it!"
"Menma, what a stupid conversation. Just forget about it. They'll get bored of him any time now. Cheer up. I have a way to get close to the woman that came with him. Do you remember? The brunette. What was her name? Ren... Rin, right?"
"Are you for real?" Asked an excited Menma.
"Listen closely. Here's what we'll do..."
They started discussing the plan's details.
Rin was just finishing getting her things even if Tobi was the one that did all the work. Rin always ended really tired after he used her to make demonstrations for the stude... Something got her attention. It was a fight between two boys. One boy was on top of the other and had him pinned to the ground.
"Please stop. Why is it always me?" Begged the one pinned down.
"The next time it'll be much worse, trust me." Claimed the one on top as he got up and left.
Rin hurried to help the poor boy up.
"Are you okay?" The worried woman asked.
"Yes, but they're always messing with me. If only I could defend myself but, I'm so weak." Menma said while faking a cracking voice. Truth be told, the one that had him pinned to the ground was Gaara. They had both agreed to this little show.
"Well then, why don't you take some classes with Professor Tobi?"
"Oh, it's just that he kinda intimidates me bit. He doesn't give me as much confidence as you." He said with false innocence.
"I guess if he scares you a bit, then let's see... what do you do on Wednesdays around 4?" She asked in a friendly voice.
"Nothing, why?"
"I could give you a few classes. Well, only the basics. I'm not as goos as Professor Uchi but, there must be something I can show you, here." She said before writing something down on a sheet of paper. "Take this. It's the address to a coffee shop close to where I live. Be there this Wednesday at 4 and I'll give you classes after we've both agreed on the price." The beautiful woman stopped talking before she left.
"Perfect" Menma thought. If she was this naïve over everything then he'll get her in bed a lot sooner than he thought. Maybe he should bring his camera and... Shit! He had a project due for the Math teacher. He had to come up with a good excuse. There was no way he was missing out on this golden opportunity. He would wait for the last bell to ring, which happened to be the Math teacher's class. There was absolutely no way he was going to put that Geisha looking guy with the creepy tongue above Rin. He entered the Math classroom when school ended but, the teacher wasn't there.
"Maybe in the Teachers Lounge?" He went there and sure enough, he was there. "Hatake?" The teacher addressed him once he saw him enter. "Is there something you want, dear?"
Menma really didn't like his teachers but, he especially didn't like this one. Professor Orochimaru was constantly shamelessly flirting with him and leering at him every chance he got.
"I won't be able to turn in my Calculus project this Wednesday."
"No? Care to tell me why?" The man asked as he ran his freakishly long tongue over his pencil.
"I have a doctor's appointment on that day. Maybe I could turn it in on Thursday."
"That's fine. You can turn it in on Thursday after class." The man winked after answering and started gathering his things to take his exit.
The teenage boy was very pleased with himself. It seemed everything was going well. He hurried up and started making his way home before, it got any more late. He was so happy that he wasn't paying attention and knocked into someone in the hallway.
"I'm sorry..." He was about to say but when he realized who it was he had bumped into he remained silent. It was that guy with the Italian name. Rin's partner. The man stared at him with those red penetrating eyes of his. He didn't look mad. The last thing he wanted was to make a guy like him pissed.
"I'm sorry Professor Uchi." He finished saying.
