Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, but then you already knew that. : )
Hello everyone! The first crazy plot twist was supposed to be in this Chapter… but I'm postponing it. Sorry, but I think that having it later will make the story a lot better. So this Chapter is a filler, I guess. But it's a GOOD filler. And an early update! XD
Remember, so far, the only class all the characters have together is History. Now, Sasuke has I.T., Tenten and Hinata have French, and all the others have Math. (Don't worry, it won't get confusing. I'm just reminding everyone where they all are.) Hope you like it! (P.S.: I.T. stands for 'Information Technology', or Computer Studies.)
(.s.)
I'm waiting for the night, drifting away
On the waves of my dreams, to another day.
I'm standing on a hill, and beyond the clouds
The wind's blowing still and catching my doubts.
(.s.)
Sasuke tapped his pencil on his computer monitor repeatedly; obviously annoyed.
That might have something to do with the fact that he'd been sitting in I.T. class, computer on, totally ready… and the teacher wouldn't look up from his stupid novel.
"Hey, Kakashi," he said after what seemed like ages of waiting. "Everyone's here. Start teaching."
"I guess I should," Kakashi sighed. "Okay. Take out your text books and—"
"KAKASHI!"
Kakashi sighed again as he turned to the door, to see a bowl-cut peeking into his classroom. "Gai. How nice of you to visit."
"Don't think I've forgotten about how you took the last doughnut in the teacher's lounge!" Gai shouted, and the students burst out laughing.
Gai pointed at Kakashi warily. "I'm on to you, Kakashi," he whispered. "What kind of teacher wears a bandana around his face, anyway?"
"What kind of teacher wears the same green outfit every day?" Kakashi countered.
"What kind of teacher reads Icha Icha in class?"
"What kind of teacher has such a ridiculous haircut?"
"My haircut is not ridiculous! It is the epitome of youth!"
"Whatever," Kakashi said. "Don't you have a class to be teaching?"
"They are quite settled doing History classwork." Gai said. "History is such an important subject. Students need to know their pasts."
"And I.T. has to do with the future, which I think they care more about," Kakashi said. "Now, will you go back to your class?"
Sasuke smirked. He'd never admit it, but he admired this teacher.
"Gai! You must beat Kakashi and attain eternal youth!" Lee cried.
Did he forget to mention that he hated these spandex-wearing freaks? (The school had a UNIFORM. Why they'd go and have it custom-made out of green spandex was beyond him.)
"Um, Kakashi?" a pink-haired girl walked into the classroom, and Lee and Sasuke's eyes instantly switched to her.
"SAKURA!" Lee shouted so loudly the class had to cover their ears. "Seeing you is such a youthful experience!"
"That's nice?" Sakura smiled weakly, and Sasuke rolled his eyes. He knew Lee had always liked Sakura, but he just disregarded it. Lee didn't have a chance, anyway.
"My teacher Kurenai sent me out of Math class to tell you and Gai to stop behaving like three-year-olds and do your job. Her words, not mine!" Sakura threw her hands up worriedly.
Everyone in the class struggled not to laugh again, except Sasuke, who merely smirked, and Lee, who began to scream about the unyouthfulness of insulting Gai.
"Fine," Gai mumbled, and walked back to his History class.
"Oh yes, I just remembered something youthful," Gai popped his head back in. "I simply have too much work from my youthful students to grade right now. And therefore I am extending the due date for your youthful project."
The students cheered, and Sasuke's smirk got bigger. Luck was always on the side of an Uchiha. (Not that they needed it much, with their perfection and all.) The due date being postponed gave them more time to do the project…
… and time for him to begin Stage 2 of his fangirl-extermination plan.
He quickly scribbled a note, and as Sakura turned to leave, she felt something light hit the back of her head and get lost in her hair. She quickly pulled it out. It was a note that read:
The amusement park today at 5:30. Be early this time.
-Sasuke
She looked around until she saw him, and smiled, mouthing 'Yes!' as she walked out of the classroom.
"Hm," Kakashi thought, seeing the content look on Sasuke's face. "Interesting."
Just as they said they would, Naruto, Neji and Shikamaru hunted the school for Sasuke after Math class, and found him with a can of Pepsi by a vending machine near the I.T. lab.
"What's up?" he said lazily as he opened the can.
"Everything, you JERK!" Naruto yelled loudly enough for the entire school to hear, and Neji covered his mouth.
"The girls are starting to see through your plan; and to keep it secret, we had to lie to them." Neji put a lot of stress on the word, but Sasuke just rolled his eyes.
"You guys are too paranoid. I haven't had a single fangirl in forever."
"Will you stop being like that!?" Naruto pulled Neji's hand off of his mouth. "This isn't just about YOU. Do you even know how much you'll hurt Sakura?"
Sasuke chose to disregard the feeling he got from those words. "Everything's going fine. When she came to my I.T. class, I made a date with her for after school today," he smirked. "Things will step up a little."
Naruto was about going to punch Sasuke in the face when he heard a familiar voice. "A-A date after school today?"
"Shit," Sasuke thought, as he turned to see Hinata… with Ino, Tenten and Sakura. Luckily, it seemed that they hadn't heard anything else.
"Sakuraaaa!" Ino said angrily. "You never mentioned that you had a date!"
Sakura blushed. "Well… now you know."
"Yes!" Ino yelled. "And we're all coming with you—on our first ever QUADRUPLE DATE!"
"B-But we c-can't do that," Hinata said. "I-It was S-Sasuke and S-Sakura's date alone—"
"I don't mind if you come!" Sakura smiled. "It'll be fun! Right, Sasuke?" she turned to him.
Sasuke didn't answer immediately. He could feel everyone's eyes on him. He knew that if he said no, the girls would think he was a creep, and the boys would pummel him for disappointing them.
"Fine," he sighed, and the girls cheered.
"So," Tenten smiled, "where are we going after school?"
"To the Konoha Amusement Park," Sakura said. "We can just go home, change and meet there at 5:30, right?"
Everyone agreed, and rushed off to their respective classes.
Sasuke sighed again. This quadruple-date thing was going to make his new plan even harder to execute.
Woo, Chapter 8 down! The song excerpt was from 'A Neverending Dream' by Cascada.
Okay, first: note that Gai is the History teacher, and Kakashi the Information Technology teacher. I made it that way because the subjects are opposites. (Sure, I could've used Math and English… but that's been done so many times! XD The History/I.T. flows better with the story, anyway.)
So yeah. Everyone, the next Chapter will be –gasp- fluffy! (Yay! The story is due for some fluff.) And we get to see what Stage 2 of Sasuke's plan is! So… hold on for Chapter 9, and remember to review! Comment on the length, or whatever you want... just to let me know if I'm doing okay. : )
