By the time Itachi heard the lunch bell ring, he was sweating profusely. In English, he had to go through Gai-sensei reading a poem by Itachi's worst fear, Shakespeare. Ironically, it was called "Ah! Youth!" The rest of the lesson was then devoted to talking about youth and how great it was. Then there was Drama. That was even worse. He got paired up with some random drama nerd named (blech) Tobi. He was almost as annoying as Gai-sensei, especially when he said things like, "Tobi is a good boy," in third person and in random intervals, or rather, every five seconds. It annoyed Itachi to the point in which he swore to at least bring ear plugs to Drama class.

Itachi walked out of the classroom, only to bump into the red haired puppet boy who he had seen earlier. The boy looked at Itachi and monotonously said," My name is Sasori. Are you going to say sorry for bumping into me, or should I let my puppets do the talking?" Itachi almost snorted and laughed at Sasori. In fact, he let out a cow like moo to cover up his laugh.

"Are you a cow or something? Can you actually talk instead of mooing like an idiot?" Of course Sasori had to take the trouble to insult Itachi at his most embarrassing moment.

"Umm, sorry Sasori, I didn't mean to bump into you. I was a little preoccupied at the time." He added the last part just to make Sasori stop annoying him and just move away.

"So the cow can talk now can he? Never mind, you can go for all I care." When Sasori called him a cow, Itachi felt a sudden urge to tear open the boy. Man, Sasori didn't know how lucky he was to be standing in a crowded hallway. But no one would mind now, would they? Itachi dismissed the thoughts from his mind and walked around Sasori. He didn't notice that Sasori was following his movements with his eyes.

Sasori's POV

That boy didn't know what he was doing, insulting me like that. Man he would make a great puppet. Then I could torture him all I wanted. I'll nurture that thought for a while. Maybe my wish will come true and I'll have a perfectly good human puppet on my hands. Sasori gave and evil grin and headed off to get his lunch. Later, Itachi.

Itachi's POV

Itachi was walking as quickly as he could without attracting attention. The last thing you wanted to do in a school like this was attract attention to yourself. The bullies would be on you faster than a shark onto blood. Some of them were literally sharks. Finally, without getting lost too much, Itachi found his way to the large and crowded cafeteria. Itachi got in line to get his lunch and then retrieved a lunch. He had gotten to the lunchroom sort of late so the only things left for him and all the other unlucky losers were spinach hamburgers. Mom would be so thrilled that I'm eating my vegetables, thought Itachi, grimacing. The spinach on his burger was greasy and slimy and looked like it was moving. Sighing, Itachi walked out of line with his tray and spinach hamburger, looking for the familiar blue haired girl to put him out of his misery. In no life or dimension was he going to break his promise to the pretty cheerleader.

Itachi finally spotted Konan. Konan was sitting down at a lunch table, with a tray in front of her and a seat beside her. Every so often a guy would come up to her and ask her something, but whatever he wanted he didn't get. She looked like she was searching for him, but unfortunately for her, she was facing the wrong way. So, Itachi took control of the situation and scared the living daylights out of her. It was fun seeing Konan jump about five feet in the air with a terrified look on her face with her eyes opened wide and her hair standing on end. Itachi almost laughed.

Giving Itachi her best death glare (which was enough to destroy a city block), Konan growled," Took you long enough Uchiha. Where were you?"

"I was in a little bit of a stare down with Sasori. I accidentally bumped Puppet Boy, I mean Sasori." Itachi figured since Konan was the head cheerleader she would know everyone.

"Who's that? Is he mean? Did you hurt him?" Of course, Itachi couldn't miss the questioning tone in Konan's voice. Maybe Puppet boy was too much of a nobody and a loser for the most popular girl in school to know him. No wonder he seemed to be invisible.

"Hey, Konan, I just forgot. I have to go and get a drink to wash down my...uh... lunch. Save this seat?"

"Sure! You might want to get an antidote before you eat that thing though. The lunch ladies are known to make their spinach burgers strong." Itachi nodded in agreement and walked off, leaving Konan staring rather intensely at his back.

Konan's POV

Itachi is soo cute! I could just stare at his rather attractive back forever!

A/N- Tehe! Please read and review! I'll hopefully have the next one up soon! If you're reviewing, could you please give me some ideas? Thanks!
