Gods… ANYWAY! ENJOY ANOTHER SHITTY CHAPTER brought to you by… your loveable oaf, Maddie :3
Disclaimer Maddie does not own Naruto :D If she did, you'd have to be over 18 (yeah, she's a closet pervert.)
Naruto and Gaara sat down on a creaky wooden seat, they were sure the table was definitely about to give way any minute now… but they ignored it. Gaara threw up his feet and rested them onto the other seat in front with a sigh; Naruto leaned his elbows on to the termite-ridden table and cradled his chin in between both his palms before letting out a sigh of boredom much similar to Gaara's. Kiba ran up to the pair with his arms waving wildly and jumped on to the seat that Gaara's feet were resting on, Gaara pulled his feet back when the whole seating shook and wobbled with Kiba's force as he sat down. Naruto gripped on to the seat for grim death as it felt like it would break, Gaara did the same but more unnoticeably. Kiba just smiled off their disdainful looks, Naruto folded his arms on to the table as Gaara stretched his arms backwards with a discreet yawn; Naruto looked up at Kiba uninterestedly "how was maths?"
"Test." Kiba stated simply with a snort, Naruto leaned his weight on to one of his elbows
"Oh?" Naruto let out a sigh and rolled his head from side to side, earning a loud snap from his neck "how'd you go?"
"How the hell should I know?!" Kiba snapped sending Naruto a glare, Gaara nudged Naruto in the ribs and beckoned for him to come closer. Naruto obeyed and leaned down to him, Gaara roughly grabbed Naruto's collar and whispered hoarsely into his ear "im guessing, by his reaction, that the idiot did terrible." Naruto laughed out loud at Gaara's criticism, earning a fiery glare from Kiba.
Naruto turned his gaze back to Kiba, after being released from Gaara's grip "hey Kiba, maybe you should hand over that $50 now… I think it's already about time to consider Sasuke and I as… friends" Naruto grinned as Kiba's jaw dropped
"B-b-but… but… it h-hasn't… even been one, freaking, day! How could you befriend such a cold-hearted jerk, in less than one day!" Kiba was lost for words, he knew Naruto was good at making friends… but this just took the -freaking- cake!
"What can I say…?" Naruto's eyes glittered in the sunlight for effect as he tilted his head cutely towards Kiba "…I have a gift…"
"I'll give you the fifty bucks when I see this so-called 'friendship' of yours… with my own eyes!" Kiba huffed and turned away with a loud scoff, he swung his feet around and rested them on to the seat before he slipped his knees up to rest his chin on them. Kiba continued to brood, not even noticing the fact that Neji had strode of to the three of them.
"Hey guys…" Neji trailed off when he turned his gaze on to the overly gloomy dog-boy "…and what's with him?" Naruto smiled cheekily
"He's just upset because I'm already friends with the Uchiha." Naruto confirmed with a toothy grin, Neji raised an eyebrow in disbelief
"You are--" Kiba abruptly stood up, stopping Neji from any further questioning. He slammed his palms down on to the table making it wobble unsteadily and let out a low creak as if it were in pain, Kiba glared vehemently at Naruto "no! You're not friends with him until I see it with my own bloody eyes!"
"Oh Kiba-kun…" Naruto whimpered, fake innocence radiating off him "you're so… scary when you're angry…" Naruto placed his hands on his cheeks in 'fright' as he whispered out another fake analogy about Kiba.
"GAH! STOP THAT!" Kiba screeched, pointing his shaky index finger at Naruto
"S-stop what… Kiba-kun…?" Naruto did it again, he looked up into Kiba's red-hot glare and whined before looking away "oh Kiba-kun… please don't look at me like that… it looks as if you… you…" Naruto looked back up at Kiba, fake tears were brimming in his eyes "…h-hate me…"
"You should consider joining the drama club Naruto." Neji said thoughtfully
Naruto's expression completely changed from innocence to delight in one foul swoop "waa… really, Neji?!"
"Yeah… and you…" Neji turned to Kiba with a straight look "…and you… should go to anger management…" Kiba snorted a 'like you can talk' under his breath before silently excusing himself and headed towards the lunchroom, Naruto looked over to Neji with a silent message. Neji under stood the message and just shook his head "no. Let him cool off…"
Naruto nodded with a shrug, Naruto looked down at his stomach and placed a hand over it. "Im hungry…" Naruto mumbled offhandedly, giving his stomach a rub to coax the rumbling beast. Neji looked over his shoulder and saw the line for the cafeteria was still long; Neji turned back and replied to Naruto "wait a few minutes, maybe the line will have shortened up around that time…" Naruto let out a loud whine before collapsing on to the table
"But… but… they'll have bad food…" he whined again, pouting at Neji
"You're so immature…" Neji grumbled, turning his gaze away from Naruto's penetrating cerulean stare. An awkward silence followed, they all took slow breaths as none of them dared to break the odd chain of silence. A cool wind blew south, blowing their bangs and hair out of their faces for the time being. The wind died downing causing their hair to swoop back down terribly all over their expressions; they silent brushed their hair back to normal in unison awkwardly but promptly. Naruto finally broke the silence with a loud groan; he whacked his head on to the table with another identical groan. His stomach whimpered out a cry of hunger as Naruto moved, "Neji…! Can we go now?!" Naruto cringed when his stomach agreed with another moan of desperation for food.
Neji sighed and stood up abruptly, "Fine." He agreed with an aggravated sigh "but I swear if you complain, even once, while we're in line… I'll feed you to Kiba's mutts! Making sure they haven't eaten in weeks and are willing to eat your fat ass!" Neji swore in a deathly tone, Naruto ignored the warning and hooked his arms with Gaara's and marched off towards the extended lunch line. Neji sighed, catching up with the pair, after falling into step with them "…and I'm friends with you… why?"
Naruto just smiled "'cause I'm just oh-so-adorable…!" he laughed as Neji cringed, muttering an 'in your dreams' under his breath before they halted at the end of the column of piled up people. Naruto leaned to the left, his eyes traveled up to see how long the line was. He let out a sigh, knowing it would be at least a good five-minute wait before they got served. Naruto let out a long sigh, slowly turning his gaze back towards his friends. Neji gave him a look that clearly said 'don't even think about it.' While Gaara was staring down at his stomach with a frown plastered on to his face, Gaara looked up to meet Naruto's gaze. He quickly shifted it away with a small glare "okay, I'm hungry as well."
Naruto scoffed and looked over to Neji, "See! Even Gaara is hungry! If we'd gone earlier like I had suggested--" Neji whacked Naruto upside the head, stopping his rant dead in its tracks. Naruto rubbed the back of his head giving Neji a glare; Neji countered it by sending him a knowing look
"I told you not to complain." He stated matter-of-factly with a huff
Naruto muttered an incoherent reply under his breath but made no further complaints, Gaara stood close to him and had his arms wrapped around his own stomach trying to keep it from wailing in hunger. Naruto switched his weight from one foot to another in boredom, Neji sent him a half-hearted glare but knew he wouldn't stop until his food was happily resting in the bottomless pit he called a stomach. Naruto shivered at the cold breeze that blew past, it froze him to the core as a large gust of cold wind blew in through the open windows of the canteen. Girls squealed as the breeze flipped and tugged their skirts upwards, flashing all the boys with their brightly colored panties. Several schoolboys fainted with blood noses while many girls scurried away in shame, Naruto laughed as he watched the last of the unfortunate girls scamper out the doors. People closed the windows and doors laughing, heat began to warm up the whole cafeteria and everyone went back to what they had been doing. Naruto let out a low moan of anger, the line had moved but not significantly. The aromas of hot foods dancing in Naruto's nose, Naruto let out a whine and switched his gaze from the food to Neji. Neji was like an older brother; he was his better and seemed to help him along the way of life. Where as Gaara was more of those once in a lifetime type of best friends, they would be there for you through thick and thin and there would only be one within your whole life. And Naruto couldn't think of anyone better to be it.
Naruto stretched his arms outwards, almost hitting Neji in the face during the process, before letting out a low sigh. Yep, Naruto's life was good. Naruto, Gaara and Neji walked up and stared at the delicious array of foods, Neji's pale eyes traveled down a small black board with the heading "Specials" on it. It read: Today's Special: Leek Soup. Neji cringed and looked back over at Naruto, he already knew what Naruto would eat even if he didn't. Naruto mumbled out the food choices absent-mindedly under his breath as his eyes rolled from one cuisine option to another, his eyes rested on bright orange, barely-legible, squiggly writing that said "Miso Ramen" and he drooled. "I'll have Miso ramen, please!" Neji rolled his eyes, 'bingo.' He thought arrogantly
An older lady smiled and trotted off to fill his order while Naruto fumbled with the ten dollars in his hands, Gaara looked from side to side with a scowl. Nothing seemed to appease his king-like taste. Naruto placed his chin on the bench with a cute smile as he waited for his food, his fingers twitched with anticipation and made a small drumming pattern as they hit against the unclean surface. The lady soon returned holding the hot substance in her hands, she hurriedly threw it too him in exchange for his money. Gaara stalked up to the bench and gave the lady a cold stare "I want… an onigiri…" he slowly made his decision; Naruto gave him a jab in the ribs and sent him a knowing look. Gaara looked back to the confused lady with an even colder stare "…please…" he added with tight lips
The lady laughed nervously before nodding and turning away, Gaara turned his gaze towards Naruto and sent him a glare "Idiot." He muttered before snatched his onigiri out of the lady's fingers and replacing it with the sufficient amount of money. Naruto just ignored the glare with a grin and skipped happily over to where Kiba was seated while his friends trudged slowly behind him, Naruto plopped down beside Kiba and gave him a smile "Angry?" he asked softly
Kiba looked at him sourly but smiled "Hey, how about… If you can bring the Uchiha over here in five minutes or less… I'll give you the fifty dollars right here, right now." Kiba gave him a mischievous smirk "Whaddya say?"
Naruto brought his hand to his chin as he thought over the wager, "Hmm… make it three minutes, I wanna eat my ramen." He laughed and rose from his sea. With a quick survey of the area, he stalked over to the lonely Uchiha who was examining his food with a disgusted glare. Naruto approached him with a friendly smile and wave before slipping into the seat beside him, Sasuke turned his head to the side and gave him an impatient look "what?" he spat out before turning back to his food.
"Hey, how's it going?" Naruto scooted closer to Sasuke and tilted his head down to see the Uchiha under the mass of long, raven hair "You looked lonely." He observed letting a small bit of worry slip into his voice
"It's none of your concern whether I'm lonely or not." Sasuke sent him a glare "get lost Dobe." He scoffed and stabbed at his food with a flimsy plastic fork
"Come on… come sit with me and my friends!" he begged with a small pout "please… It'll be fun…" he poked at Sasuke's arm and tugged his short sleeve like a small child, Sasuke turned towards Naruto with a frown settling on his lips. Naruto jabbed Sasuke in the arm again, a little harder this time. He let a scowl lie on his features with a small sigh, he felt the sudden urge to rip the plastic fork from Sasuke's loose grip and break it in half. He made a reach for Sasuke's shirt but was abruptly shoved away, Naruto wasn't expecting that so he slipped back on the seat a far bit. Naruto slipped comfortably on to the metal seating and gave Sasuke a venomous glare "what the hell was that for?"
Sasuke turned back with an even dirtier glare than his "I told you to get lost, what don't you understand about that?" Sasuke abruptly stood up and threw his food out before storming out of the cafeteria in a huff. Everything happened to fast for Naruto's slow mind to comprehend, Naruto blinked once, twice, even three times but his eyes kept showing the same vision. Sasuke was gone. Naruto scowled at the spot Sasuke had previously been standing in and stood up himself, he could practically feel Kiba's taunts burning into the back of his head. Naruto strode back of to his seat and sat down with a groan, he massaged the spot where Sasuke had shoved him while Kiba taunted him with the $50. Man, he can hit hard… Kiba grinned and wiggled the money back and forth in front of Naruto's non-existent gaze. Kiba grabbed the two top corners of the money and made the money hop along the countertop "Ne, Ne… quick Naruto! Your money is getting away… catch it while you still can…" Kiba taunted and placed the money back into his wallet with a smirk "aww… too slow."
"Shut up Kiba." It wasn't Naruto who had scolded him; it was Gaara. Gaara sent Kiba a dark glare before continuing to nibble on his onigiri; Kiba ignored it and rolled his eyes for effect. He had gotten to many glares in the past to be easily unnerved by his; Kiba scowled at Naruto's distant look and gave him a nudge with his elbow. "Oi, what's with you?" he muttered, giving Naruto another shove in the ribs. Naruto barely flinched at the sudden movement; he had already been dragged back into the darkness of his mind.
Naruto shook his head with a sigh; he looked back to Sasuke's previous seat to still see nothing there. Another low sigh escaped his lips before he turned back to Kiba and gave him a much-needed shove, "Don't touch me, mutt!" he growled in a playful tone, Gaara eyed Naruto's actions carefully but said nothing. Kiba grinned and waved the fifty dollars at him, yet again.
"I'm feeling generous--" Kiba started, but was interrupted mid-sentence
"For once…" Neji, Gaara and Naruto muttered in unison
Kiba gave them all individual glares "—and… I was gonna give you another chance with the fifty dollars, same wager as before."
"Eh, Fine…" Naruto mumbled, he wasn't really interested in the whole affair between friends anymore. Sasuke had just acted too strange for one day… He punched Kiba playfully in the arm and gave him a wide grin, "I will win that $50, Kiba…" he poked out his tongue at Kiba and winked at him
Kiba sent him a strange look but grinned, "you can try!" Kiba put the fifty dollars back into the safety of his wallet and leaned down on to the table with a sigh, Naruto licked his dry lips before letting out a sigh. Shikamaru idly sauntered over to the group of friends; a cigarette was alight and pressed between his index finger and middle while his thumb rested atop it. Everyone knew Shikamaru smoked, no one basically cared about what the lazy genius did in his spare time so no one bothered with stopping him. Shikamaru pulled the cigarette slowly to his lips as he sat down beside Naruto; he inhaled the toxic fumes and blew the grey smoke out his nose. Naruto wrinkled his nose at the scene, he had never gotten used to seeing that. Naruto licked his quickly drying lips again and yawned, in an instance Kiba had joined in the yawn and let out a sigh after.
Shikamaru blew the smoke out of his mouth and crossed his arms over the creaky metal table, holding the cigarette limply in his fingers. Naruto looked up at his friends with a bored expression "what class do we have after this one?" he scratched the back of his head and stretched out his spare arm
"You have free periods." Shikamaru stated solemnly as brought the cigarette back up to his lips
"Ah, right." Naruto sighed and stretched his arms outwards "Well, if that's the case, I'm going home." He slapped a few of his friends hands in a manly way and ruffled Gaara's hair, Gaara scowled and punched Naruto in the side of the stomach, muttering a 'don't touch me'
Naruto just smiled and walked out the door, disposing of his food along the way.
Sasuke looked over his shoulder to find no one behind him; he let out a sigh of relief albeit he was a bit surprised to have no ignorant blonde traveling behind him like a lost puppy. He scoffed slightly and turned around, only to brush noses with a pink-haired annoyance. She giggled slightly as her cheeks turned a light shade of red and stepped backwards. "Oh, hi Sasuke-kun. How are you?" Sakura's voice was a sickly sweet tone as she fluttered her eyelashes at Sasuke.
Sasuke stepped further away from Sakura, only to have her step forward with him in sync. "Fine." His voice was stone cold, letting no if's or but's intrude. Unfortunately Sakura's mind dispelled the cold tone as she only giggled and blinked her wide emerald eyes at him once again, she stepped closer to the irritated raven with an evil smile "would you like to come with me?"
Sasuke gave her an annoyed glance but gave her a curt 'no' in response; he stepped to the side of her and began walking away, Sakura scowled and puffed out her cheeks. She reached forward and grabbed Sasuke's hand with her small pale ones; Sasuke noticed the sudden grip of desperation and turned around, Sakura was looking up at Sasuke with fake innocence. He knew what she wanted and she knew what she wanted, no need to fake her purity. Sasuke tried to shake his hand out of her grasp but no avail; she swung her body around in front of his path with a smile still plastered painfully to her face, her grip on Sasuke's hand still had not faltered in the slightest. She stepped forward and pressed her under-developed chest up against his, Sasuke forcefully ripped his hand from hers, receiving some mild claw marks in the process, he sent her a glare which she knowingly ignored "come on… Sasuke-kun… It'll be so much fun…" her words rolled off her tongue with a sexy tone.
Sasuke rolled his eyes and walked away, he could feel her breath against the back of his neck as she stalked him down the hallway. Sakura moved her body to the side of his and began brushing her hand against his in an attempt to get him to hold it; Sasuke shoved his hands into his pockets with a scowl. Sakura let a frown settle on to her pink, glossy lips, she pouted and crossed her arms tightly in front of her chest "why won't you listen to me Sasuke-kun?" she whined in an angry tone
Sasuke ignored it, even if he did reply she wouldn't listen. Sakura fumed and stood directly in front of Sasuke's path with a scowl, she pushed her body up against his and tears sprung into her eyes "why… why won't you listen to me… …Sasuke-kun…?" she hiccupped. Sasuke scrutinized her and pushed her away in one fluent motion, Sakura was deadpanned. How could he just push her away like she was nothing? Her! Sakura Haruno! Sasuke rolled his eyes and kept walking, he didn't understand why he was in such a sour mood.
Sasuke ignored her and kept walking with his head lowered, he could hear her squeals of anger fading away into the back of his mind. Silence invaded his mind and he looked up, no one was there. He guessed Sakura had stopped following a while back; he lifted his shoulder and slid his bag back up on to as it crept down it. Sasuke let out a sigh and walked down another hallway, it was busily occupied by males and females of all ages. A girl was laughing loudly before wrapping her arms around a boy's neck and pulling him down to the ground with her before smothering him in kisses. Sasuke rolled his eyes and snorted inwardly, girls had a strange way of showing affection. Sasuke stepped over the couple and brushed past the large mass of people, he rolled his eyes at the lovesick girls and kept walking.
Sasuke sat down on a cold metal seat and leaned back on to the brick wall behind it, his hair flattened down at the back but he was sure it would bounce back into place soon. He blinked slowly and looked back towards the groups of people, he sent them a glare and stood up. No matter where he was they were still too close for his comfort. His black shoes echoed through the empty hallways as they hit the concrete, he stopped mid-step and looked down at his feet. Sasuke could hear the immature bickering of students rumbling from outside the walls, he sighed when he came to a sad realization.
'I'm alone…' He looked up and saw a girl slap another girl across the face in a childish gesture and began to laugh, he smirked inwardly to himself 'and I'm just fine with that…'
(Sighs) … Yell at me if you want to… I've been just having a very hard 3 weeks lately… I'm madly in love with this guy, I mean… I know I said before I'm in love with a guy but this is different! I've found myself crying at night thinking that he'll never want an ugly retard like me. And now, to make matters worse, he's apparently going to go out with my best friend. I'm upset… so I'm sorry if I wrote with my emotions in this chapter.
On a lighter note, I hate this chapter D: And this chapter hates me! He said so! D: I made Sasuke more emo… I just thought this story was going to fast…
Love,
Sweet Tragedies
