Chapter 3
Hi Guys! I'm lovin doing this story and all. But I do wish I could get more reviews please! I need to know how my story is and if I need to change anything!
I slowly was forced awake by the irritating light coming through my curtains. I slumped out of my bed and almost travelled to the wardrobe like a slug. It was only when I held the metal handle to pull myself up and realised the dial was still on my arm. I dramatically let go of the handle and landed as a pile on the floor. I awed at the mutated accessory around my wrist. It wasn't a dream! The corners of my mouth pulled apart to make a gleeful grin. I was going to be a NINJA! But first I had to bear my worst nightmare before my dream…school.
I tip-toed barefoot into the kitchen to see if my mum was still there and there she was, slumped over the table in a deep sleep. Her face was placid and calm, but her closed eyes were irritated and made the rims of her eyes a sore coloured red. I hastily went to the fridge and automatically opened and took out some cold milk for my cereal. But I then realised that I wasn't that hungry at all. It must be I just had dinner with Kakashi just a few hours ago. I put the milk back in and slowly shut the fridge, I just decided to get changed for school. I put on just what I would normally wear, just a plain black vest and jeans. I tied my hair up into a ponytail and let the end of the tail bounce off the bottom of my neck. Now for make-up. I never wear much make-up but I still put on a little foundation and blusher to stop looking half-dead. I stared at my pale reflection in the mirror, I guess it should do. It wasn't like looking good was the most important thing in my life, so I just let my natural beauty show. At least if I had any.
I gingerly got off the bus and walked through the main gate. As I walked past various people heading into the building I heard tiny sniggers and whispers rippling through groups around the main doors. I looked down at the ground trying to avoid their gazes as I stepped inside. I bravely walked on, my locker was just inches away from me. I looked up to see and Kevin was leaning against my locker, his face held a sneer.
"Hey Chika babes." He howled as he swung his arm around my hip. As I was not expecting this I nearly crapped myself.
"Hey Chika! How come you're American but you have the weirdest and lamest name ever!" He chuckled, putting his hand round my waist. I scowled at him. Not my fault my family likes Japanese names. I tried to pull his hands away, but he kept holding on.
"Oh… do you not like it babes.?" He tutted, he then started to laugh. I saw Vicky coming up the corridor.
"Hey look! Kevin's getting fresh with the freak!" She laughed and pointed. Man I want to punch her. Kevin's face went bright red and he released me from his grip.
"Shut-up! I was so not!" He roared at Vicky. She smirked and pinched his cheek.
"Good. Cos you're too handsome for her…" She purred.
Kevin went silent.
"Come on Kevin! Your hot…I'm hot…were perfect for each other…" She purred again, holing on to one of his arms. Kevin seemed stumped on what to say and turned in the other direction.
"Gotta go! See ya freak!" Kevin shouted before speeding of.
I know that he called me a freak but I feel that I have one over Vicky since he actually said goodbye to me. Vicky's face was a picture. Her lips slightly parted and boring, but her eyes filled with a burning rage. It was almost beautiful.
After registration I travelled up the corridor to make it to my next class P.E. I was okay at sports but I wasn't really amazing if you know what I mean, but I was good enough to not get made fun of for my physical fitness. I entered the girls changing room and glanced round. There were only a few girls there so I must be early, there was no sign of Vicky so I took advantage and went in the corner of the room and got changed as quickly as I could. As the rest of the girls in my class came pouring in I moved swiftly past them and made my way to the games hall. Mr. Gordon was sitting on the bench waiting for the rest of the class to come so he could fill in the register. I sat in front of him on the floor. He acted like he barely noticed me and kept his eyes wandering above me. I hated it when people ignored me, but it was better than attracting bad attention. As scheduled within five minutes the rest of the class sat on the gym hall floor in groups, well away from me. I still heard the annoying sniggers and whispers being passed around the groups of girls as Mr. Gordon started to speak about the lesson.
"Okay class! Today we are doing badminton!" He boomed.
Sighs and cheers made a mixed feeling in the hall. I don't know what is wrong with most of them, I always thought badminton was quite fun.
"Now get into pairs!" He boomed again.
As girls coupled up I stood there, dumbfounded. No-one wanted to pair up with me but in the end, the person left would be my partner.
"Aw crap" A girl said from behind my ear.
"Come on Looney Tunes! You're with me!" The girl shouted at me.
I nervously turned round to see Fiona Brown. She was usually quite popular but obviously not today. Her slick black hair bouncing off her hips as she walked towards me. Her piercing green eyes sharpened, as if she was trying to stab mine. She grabbed two badminton rackets and tossed one to me, I caught it and bent down to retrieve a shuttle-cock from the basket below me. I cautiously walked to a net and waited for her to go to the other side.
"Ready girls? Alright go!" Mr Gordon yelled at the top of his lungs.
I did as he ordered and threw the shuttle-cock high into the air and hit it in the mid-air. Weird I know, but that's just how I served a shuttle-cock. As it soared over the net Fiona attempted to hit it as it came in her direction, but she missed it and it bounced off the ground. FAIL.
"Hey! I wasn't ready!" She squealed. Man do I hate sore losers.
"Fine we'll go again…" I sighed. "You can serve this time."
She angrily picked up the shuttle-cock and tried to serve it the proper way. But again she failed as she couldn't get the timing right, I would laugh but I do like my face without scratch marks down the cheeks. She angrily huffed and threw the Shuttle-cock back to me after at least half a dozen attempts. I again served it again and AGAIN she failed, it was funny at first, but now it's just plain annoying. I felt even more frustrated knowing that this was a double period. I'm gonna have to put up with this class till break time…*sniff*
Finally it was break time. I quickly got changed and made my way to the library, luckily it was only two minutes away. Luckily it was almost abandoned as usual, this was because even geeks were scared of being made fun of coming here. So mainly it was just me and some other students coming to work on their projects. I would include the librarian…but he spends almost every day sleeping in the library. I sat down at the table the most far away from the entrance. I opened up my bag and took out a few Naruto books. I took a few extra to refresh my memory of the series since tonight I was going to be in it. I still get light feelings when I say that, 'going to be in it'. After a short period of time the bell rang to announce the end of break. It just hit me then, Kevin and Vicky would be in all of my classes for the rest of the day. I stayed sitting. It wouldn't hurt just to spend all day on the library would it? Then again I would just get caught at some point. So I nervously got up and headed out of the library and started doing a rushing power walk to the main doors, I moved against the current outside who were heading inside for class. Once I was past the gate and outside of the school I broke into a run and speeded round the corner. My ponytail was violently whipping my back as slowed to a jog. My mum should be at work right now. Even though I knew she was upset, she never took a day off, not even when dad died.
Once I heard the silence of the house as I walked in I knew I was right. I was actually quite hungry now so I grabbed a microwavable pizza from the fridge and popped into my mum's dinky silver microwave. After a few minutes it was time to chow down! My hand picked up the greasy substance and bit by bit it was eaten. I threw it carelessly in the bin. I went upstairs and opened my bag to get my books. As I read my eyes kept sloping downwards towards the dial on my wrist. Surely now wouldn't do anything and plus, I could do with some ninja night training! As I seemed to have made up my mind I sat up, I stared at the dial as my thin fingers slowly turned it to the white side.
As I expected the whole scenery around me went white and changed into Kakashi's cartoon home. Time for some fun…
