CHAPTER 4

Shikamaru POV

I wish I was deaf.

I wish I had no ears to begin with.

Every night, that darn girl plays her stupid flute very loud. And our rooms are right next to each other. At first I thought she was playing terribly because she knows we're from wall to wall.

I didn't dare shout or pound the wall to make her stop. Who am I to fuss at something so troublesome.

My parents made a complaint since I didn't stop nagging at them and waking them up in the middle of the night to crash with them. Her parents. Her parents said it's in their family tradition to learn how to master the flute on their own. My parents. My parents were suck ups to believe them.

I'm not the idiot. If I was Tayuya's mom...I would of sew Tayuya's lips together. How can her parents deal with that harsh whistling in the night? I bet they wear ear plugs to block their child's 'lovely' music.

School was coming to the end. So was third grade.

Everyone was sitting with their friends now and took every advantage of the last weeks of school.

Of course, I was just thinking of getting out early. Others mention where they be going to this summer and how long they being doing this and that. Many complained about summer homework. Read a book and complete math packet.

"What are you going to do this summer Shikamaru?" Naruto Uzamaki grinned. Such a knucklehead kid. He always get into trouble, following along with Kiba and his good for nothing pranks.

"I don't know. Probably spend my whole summer doing summer homework." I yawned.

"What?! That's no fun. Guess what I'm doing!" Before I opened my mouth to say something, Iruka sensei came in with sheets of paper in his hand. A few kids received one.

Naruto was one of them.

"These papers that I handed out to you is to let you and your parents know that you'll be attending summer school. Good day class." Class dismissed.

Kids stood around their small groups in the halls gossiping, laughing, or packing their stuff to go home. Naruto, Choji, Kiba, Lee, and Shino followed me to my locker, since I'm the only one who leaves my bag in there.

"Looks like Naruto and Kiba have summer school."

"Dang it! My mom gonna whoop me!" Kiba cried.

"My mom going to do worse than just a beating." Naruto sulk to the floor. Lee and Choji chuckled as they pat the summer school buds back. We went through the exit of the school where there were crowds of kids walking or getting a ride home.

"Well, my mom here. I'll see you tomorrow!" Lee pounced his way to his mom. Lee has a hot mom.

"Bye guys. Hey Pa!" Choji left with his father.

"I'm walking home. Ja." I said as I saw red heading out the school gates. Kiba and Naruto waved farewell and prayed to see tomorrow.

For some reason, the steps I was making were large. Like my legs were sprinting on its own. As I turned the corner I saw her. She was ripping something. I stopped running a few feet away from her back.

She let go of the shredded paper and let the wind take it.

I took a step and she turns to face me. I never imagine that I see such a look on her face.

And it was kinda...

Cute.

Her eyes were pink like her puffy cheeks. She turned away quickly to wipe of her wet face. Then she ran away. Her hair whipped side to side. I noticed that it grew from day one.

Something suddenly caught my eye. A piece of paper flipping back and forth under my foot. I picked it up and saw two words that made me laughed.

Summer school.

Naruto and Kiba are not the only one's that I know that is going.
