A/N: Well, this is the fourth chapter of the story. I'll have to finish this ASAP because I have a lot of ideas suddenly popping in my head. Oh yeah, I'm sorry if the writing flow isn't as good. My head's still out of order. R&R if you want! Ja ne!

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. My arms are too hurt to be humorous so that's it.

FROM SCHOOLGIRL TO NINJA

4 – Rin's Way of Apologizing

"… and that's why you must all behave at my class!" Mr. Pipes, our high-pitched Geometry teacher, scolded us for being noisy. "Is that understood?"

"Yes, sir." The whole class nodded.

I'm not really paying any attention to what Mr. Pipes was saying. My thoughts were preoccupied on the exact words Kakashi-sensei told me this recess.

(Flashback)

"You really should be careful at you actions, Rin-chan. One more word out of you and I'm sending you to the office."

(End of Flashback)

All I really wanted to do this first day of school was to make a good impression to the teachers. Besides, I wouldn't have said those things if Kakashi-sensei would act just like the rest of the teachers. Wait a minute… he is acting like the rest of the teachers! Oh man, I'm confused now! Well, if Marie didn't make me yell on how horrible Kakashi-sensei is a while ago, I wouldn't be like this.

Oh, what's the use?! I thought I promised myself that I won't complain and ramble anymore. What just happened to me? Alright then. This time, I'm going to follow Epichan's advice. I should act normal and be nice to Kakashi-sensei. And I have to apologize to him for being such a rude student. But how?

I thought of numerous ways on how to tell him how sorry I am. It's too simple to just say sorry in front of him. I have to do something special. Let's see… Hmm… Ah, I think I got it! I'm going to—

"Ms. Tsukiyomi, can you please repeat what I just said?" Mr. Pipes suddenly called me out of my thoughts.

"Huh? Umm… Pardon?" I stood up, shocked by the rush of events.

"I said that you repeat what I just said, Ms. Tsukiyomi." Mr. Pipes crossed his arms and looked at me seriously. "Well?"

Uh-oh! I'm dead meat again! I was too busy thinking of a way to apologize to Kakashi-sensei that I didn't listen to Mike-sensei (aka Mr. Pipes). What do I do!?

"I… I…" I stuttered, trying to figure something out.

"So, it just shows that you're not listening." He gave me a stern look. "I'll let you go this time, but say hello to minus 5 on your first test. Is that understood?"

"Yes, sir." I bent my head in disappointment as I took my seat.

Great, there's now a big chance that I'm going to fail Geometry now. But that's not important anymore. I have to get back to my thoughts. Where was I? Oh yes!—

I am going to treat Kakashi-sensei to a free lunch! Then I'll eat with him and then, the apology!

Isn't that perfect? Well, I have to do that or I'll be living my school days in fear and anxiety.

Now, I just have to wait for the school bell. Then everything will exactly go as what I planned.

A/N: Next chapter will focus of the events of lunch. Ooh, isn't that exciting? And, if you keep on reading this (if you are reading this), you'll see a lot of surprises like –censored- LOL! Anyway, see you at Chapter 5 then!
