Hey, so maybe I lied about the last chapter having more in it, but this one will! Heh heh. Oh yeah, and I don't own Naruto.
Naruto: DAMN RIGHT, No one owns or controls ME!
Hinata: Naruto I need your help now please.
Naruto: Yes dear, of course dear, coming dear.
Sasuke: *sniggers*
Sakura: Sasuke! Come here right now, I need youuu!
Sasuke: Yes dear, of course dear, coming dear.
GUYS STOP MAKING A FOOL OUTTA' ME! Jeez. On with the shooow. Grab your refreshments!
Hinata's POV
Flashback/
It was English and Naruto decided to sit next to me. I just had to stay calm. That's all.
"Hey, Hinata-chan!"
"Hello, N-Naruto-kun."
"So, I was wondering... are you free today... after school?"
Is he asking me on a date?! "Um y-yes."
"Yes! Great! So would you please tutor me? In the library, after school? Because, i'm not even gonna lie I SUCK at English."
"O-o course I w-will!" I stuttered.
"Yay! Hinata-chan, you're the best, do you know that?"
/EndFlashback
And that was what brought us to the present time. Naruto was sitting on the desk and I was seated next to him.
"O-okay Naruto-kun where do y-you need help?" I asked.
"Alright, so there are a LOT of places where I need help, don't worry though, cuz you're a genius. But, mainly it's these exam styled questions, you know? It's like - they're like tiny little hobgoblins trying to trip you up and eat you, I don't even-"
I laughed quietly. " Okay Naruto, Just take a look at the text first. You must always read the text first, okay?" Hey, no stuttering that time! I passed him the extract.
"Oh okay..." He started to read, and did that adorable face he did when he was trying to concentrate.
After he had finished reading, he looked at me. "So now what, Sensei?"
Sensei? That's cute. "H-huh? Oh right. Th-the question says: 'What effect did the author intend and why, when he described the princess. Explain fully.' so you have to read over the description and see if it makes you feel a certain way, and why."
"Oh! I think I get it!" Naruto scribbled something on his answer sheet. I picked it up when he'd finished writing. It read,
The Mermaid Princess is described to be beautiful. I think the author described her like this to make fall in love with her. I think the effect was not very effective, because the likelihood is I will not fall in love with a fictional half-fish.
"Um N-Naruto-kun, this is..."
"Yep?"
"W-well first off, when I said 'makes you feel' I didn't mean personally. S-sorry I really should've m-made that clear..."
"Mmm uh-huh."
"A-and - Naruto-kun, are you even listening?"
"Huh? But, I mean come on! She's not even that beautiful in my mind. Like... Like, in my mind y-you'd be prettier. Way, wa-ha-hay prettier-"
"Eeep!"
"What's wrong Hinata-chan?" Naruto asked. He had a smirk on his face.
"N-nothing. L-let's g-get back to w-work!"
"Yeah."
Naruto's POV
"Yeah." Did my flirting work? Hinata was acting weird. Well that's why she's my friend!
WHAT IS SHE TRYING TO SAY TO ME? WHAT'S A COMMA? OH YEAH I LEARN'T THAT WHEN I WAS LIKE FIVE. I WISH ENGLISH WAS RAMEN. THEN I'D JUST EAT IT AND EVERYONE WOULD LOVE ME! He he, Oh Naruto-kun you saved us! Oh Hinata-chan it was nothing and I LOVE YOUUU! I love you too!
Hinata leaned over my shoulder and pointed to a paragraph.
"You smell nice," I said without thinking.
"Um," Hinata made another "Eeep!" noise. "You too - I-I m-mean - so it says here..."
The lesson continued well into the evening.
*** THE NEXT DAY ***
Sakura's POV
I got up again at 6:00. "Second day, huh? That was fast," I yawned.
Akamaru had apparently snuck into my room, because he lay snuggled up at the foot of my bed. He barked in agreement.
"Yo Sakura, can I come in?" Kiba's voice asked at the door.
"Yup,"
He came in and I threw my biggest plushie at his face.
"Hey! What was that for?" he asked, and threw me back the bear.
"You made Akamaru leave didn't you?" I made Mr Snugglykins (A/N default teddy bear name I know) say in a high-pitched voice.
"No, I didn't!"
He used my other tiger plushie, Whiskers.
"What makes you say that?" he used a low pitch.
I made Mr. Snugglykins point to Akamaru.
"Oh there you are, Akamaru!"
Kiba threw the tiger on the floor.
"You lost him?" I asked.
"He he!" Kiba laughed sheepishly.
I picked the very sleepy dog up and hugged it.
"So I know why you take me to school!" I now made Akamaru say in the same high pitch voice.
"Huh?"
"You wanna impress Temari!"
"HUH?" He blushed profusely.
"Oh Kiba, I'm Temari and I looooooooove yoooou!" I made Akamaru say and placed him on Kiba.
"Ok, now get out, I have to get ready" I said, smiling.
Kiba left, looking as embarrassed as ever.
We left for school and Kiba was giving me a lecture.
"And you're younger than me, ya know? So you shouldn't be saying stuff like that, because it's embarrassing! And ya know sometimes I just-"
"Hey, what's that?"
"I'm talking!"
"Not anymore!" I said as I flicked him in his forehead.
"OW!"
I took a closer look at the thing I saw. A poster outside the school.
"Battle of the bands, huh?"
"I'm going to kill yo- what're you looking at?"
"I'll tell ya later." I grabbed the poster, folded it up and put it in my bag. "Later!" I ran into the school gate.
First stop: Locker... Sasuke, please don't be there... DO NOT be there, don't be there, don't be there...
He was there!
I tried to stay cool. "Good morning, Sasuke." So far, so good.
"Hn."
"Really?"
"Hn."
"That's nice."
"Hn."
"I totally agree."
"Hn."
"UGHH! You, my friend, have a way with words."
"I know."
I laughed as I grabbed my English books.
"Hey, it's Kakashi next, right?" I asked as me and Sasuke were in the same home room together.
"Yeah." Sasuke said.
"Okay, I mean 'Hn'!" I mocked, and we walked to class.
Hey, I did pretty well!
Kakashi was sleeping.
"UHZUZUH!" He said in his sleep.
"Wake up!" I said.
"WAKE THE HELL UP!" I shouted again.
"ZZZZZZZZzzzzz"
I yanked the book out of Kakashi's hand.
"HEY, YOU CALL YOURSELF A TEACHER?!"
"Wha- Oh, good morning, Sakura." He yawned.
"Kakashi-sensei, why'd you fall asleep? Have you even taken the register yet?"
"No. Ha ha. I guess you're right, I'll try harder next time..."
"LIAR!" Naruto shouted from the back row.
I sat down at my desk and so did Sasuke.
"Alright, so I didn't prepare any brain-training activities for you all to do, so I guess that it's free time for you!"
"Um, sir," I raised my hand.
"Yes, Sakura"
I grabbed the poster earlier from out of my bag.
"Tell us about this!"
Kakashi beckoned me to the front of the classroom.
"Coming." I walked up to him. Great, it's only my 2nd day and public speaking is already on the list.
"Okay,Sakura's gonna read this poster now!"
"Kakashi-sensei... you really are lazy, just read it yourself!"
"Nah."
"Wow. Well, okay. Uh it says: Next Friday: Battle of the Bands! Amateur bands battle it out! Who will win? Find out, by registering with your home room tutor. I said, YOUR HOME ROOM TUTOR."
"Oh, me. So, yeah, come register with me pipsqueaks. Information given," the laziest teacher in the whole world said.
People started to chatter about the event.
"Okay go sit," he told me.
"Woof." I sat down and brought out my notebook. I got out a pencil too. I was bored so... Aha! I drew the people I had met so far as animals. Naruto was a little fox. Hinata was a mouse. Tenten was a cat. I made Neji an eagle, and then Kiba was a dog. Temari was a little puppy. I made her extra cute to show Kiba later... In fact I would show it at lunch... He He, it was fun, embarrasing my brother. Shikamaru was a sloth, Ino was a Tiger, and I made myself a dragon. Why? Because I felt like it.
"They're good," Sasuke said next to me.
"Huh? O-oh thanks. I'll do you next..." I said and drew Sasuke as a wolf.
"Come on you can do better than that."
"Oh yeah, you're absolutely right! I'll just..." I smirked and drew on a frilly hat and ridiculously high heels. "There, now it's perfect."
"Very funny."
I wasn't so nervous around Sasuke anymore. There was no use worrying myself. I probably didn't like like him anyway. When he got close to me yesterday... well it would've been the same feeling with any guy. Probably. Maybe.
The bell rang. "Well, see ya at lunch Wolfie."
"Yeah."
I went to my next lesson. And my next lesson. AND THEN LUUUUNCH!
I had only one thing on my mind, as we sat down on the grass underneath the tree.
"Okay, girls and guys!" I shouted.
"Yes?"
"Yeah?"
"What?"
"Sis you're embarrasing me."
"I have a proposal. Battle of the Bands is coming up, and I still haven't built a firm reputation in this school yet. So... let's make our very own band! Huh? Am I right?
All the girls cheered.
"Ahem," Tenten murmured.
"That was out of character..." Temari added. She was right - they were real tomboys after all.
"A-agreed," Hinata went back to her quiet voice.
Naruto laughed. "Woah Hinata I didn't know you could yell like that! I like that do it agai-"
"BACK to the subJECT." Sakura yelled.
"You know, I think forehead girl is on to something! A band sounds great!" Ino laughed.
"Ha ha no, I'm not joining any band, okay," Kiba put his arms in an X position.
"Aww come on Kiba! You have a really nice voice!" I insisted
"He does?" Temari asked.
"No."
"Yes he does! Remember you sing like, all the time!"
"Ha ha no, no I don't."
"Sure. Oh I know let's sing our little lullaby thing!" I grabbed Kiba's arm and jammed a random stick into his hand, to act like a microphone. "Okay... go! Right... now! Here... we go!"
"Mmm-mmm." Kiba threw away the stick and folded his arms.
"Aw, please won't you sing something, Kiba!" Temari said, coating her voice with sugar, and playing with the stick Kiba threw.
"I - I - No!" He tried to hide his blush.
"Oh, well. Okay." Temari looked upset.
"Fine. But not that lullaby... it's too embarrasing... So, what should I sing?"
"Who cares, just do something," Sasuke chimed in, eating another cherry tomato.
"I don't know. I think I just forgot every song in the universe," Kiba laughed.
"No excuses. Just make up a song then. Random words, random tune," I suggested.
"O...kay? Uhh. Here goes. I'm Kiba I like dogs, I've never seen a hedgehog, and... that's all you need to know," he unenthusiasticly sang.
"Yay! Stupid song, but it sounded great! Keep going!" I encouraged.
"Sorry Sis, that's all you're getting." He winked.
"Stupidhead. We don't need you anyway." I stuck out my tongue.
"OOH! Let's do Boys VS Girls!" Ino piped up. "A boy band," she put one fist up, "A girl band, " the other fist, "Girls win," she smashed her girl fist on her boy fist. The boys all winced. "Yay!" she smiled innocently.
"Who says I want to be in a band?" Sasuke said. Neji nodded in agreement.
"I WANNA!" Naruto shouted.
"Thanks, for voicing your opinion to the whole world, dobe." Sasuke massaged his ears.
"Well, well, well. Look who's still the most BORING guy EVER." Naruto picked grass and threw it at Sasuke.
"Boring?" Sasuke's eyebrow twitched.
"Ugh. He's always like, 'I'm so cool, all the girls love me, I never turn down a challenge, I always win WOOO!' Yeah suuuuure.
"Heh?" Sasuke had a smile on that said, 'I'm trying not to kill you, so go on, if you frickin dare.'
"It turns out he's just a wuss."
"THAT DOES IT!" Sasuke punched Naruto in the face. He casually dusted himself off, and said, " Boy band it is," regaining his 'cool.' "Kiba, Neji, Shikamaru, you are being forced to join the band. Or else. The else is me."
"Fine."
"Whatever."
"Troublesome."
"ME TOO!" Naruto shouted, rubbing the bruise on his face.
"Ugh, fine," Sasuke said.
"Oh that's just too bad," Tenten laughed.
"What is?" Neji asked.
"You poor poor creatures. Your hearts are gonna break when you lose. And so are your backsides, since the girls are going to KICK YOUR BUTTS!"
"Yeah!" I yelled. "Girls we need to move, and discuss!" and with that we shuffled to a different patch of grass from the boys. "Competition, huh?" I looked over at Sasuke. "Fun."
I planned to actually put the battle of the bands in this chapter, but I decided to put it in the next chapter. Hee hee. Byeeee!
