You mentally smacked yourself all the way through History class. That new Akemi girl really got on your nerves yet you had no idea why. Was it because she was rude to you? Because she knew Sasuke? Or because she was trying to be overly smart? You had no idea, but she did not exactly make your day better in any way.

- "Hey hey, slow down Lina!" Naruto called after you. You groaned annoyed and stopped, waiting for him to catch up.

- "What just happened? Who is the girl you sat next to? I thought you were supposed to sit next to Sasuke?" the blond asked you sounding rather confused.

- "I was, but I thought I'd be nice and greet the new one" you resorted and started to head towards the library. You needed a book for the essay Kakashi-sensei had told you to make for History next week. And the First Great War wasn't exactly damn too exciting in your opinion.

- "And what happened then?" he asked you in return. You sighed.

- "She was being totally rude and when Sasuke came.. well, he just went all quiet and unemotional and said something to her… it sound like they knew each other and then she said I didn't know him at all" you explained and mentally slammed your head into the next wall. Naruto gave you a questioning look then pulled both his arms behind his head and pouted.

Once at the library you were searching for the book that you needed. Since you got paired up with Naruto you decided to search for the material together.

- "Hey guys, did you have any luck?" Kiba suddenly questioned. You shook your head and sighed in defeat.

- "Kakashi-sensei really likes to annoy us" you stated and leaned against one of the eight-man tables that was in your current section.

- "He has always been like that. Last year he totally hated me and Naruto.. isn't that right Naruto?" Kiba questioned out with a grin on his face. Yet you didn't get why he seemed proud of it, you just smirked and shook your head lightly.

- "He sure did! I never had detention that much as last year!" Naruto stated and scratched the back of his neck, making you giggle aloud.

- "You really know how to get yourself into trouble, don't you Naruto?" you asked with huge grin on your face. Naruto laughed nervously with a sweat-drop.

There was no way that, I was going to spend a whole night on that essay about The First Great War. It's just way too boring to write tons of pages about it. I discretely eyed her from the corner of my eye. She hasn't changed at all. Still boring. I shook my head lightly and shrugged the thought off. She's past and we're through and that's about it.

- "You do not have to glare at me, Sasuke" Akemi said as I walked past her in silence. I didn't bother stop and look back at her since she is not even worth it.

- "You were the one glaring, not me" I said keeping up my emotionless face. I didn't catch the last she said and honestly I didn't really care for it. She's just another girl with no life.

I got up from my seat and headed out of the class and towards my locker to get my cell phone. I don't get what takes Kei so long. She promised she'd be here with me. I hope she hadn't planned on ditching me and go with some of the older students.

To: Kei - 1:46pm

Hi.. where are you?

I leaned against my locker as I awaited a reply, and I got it soon enough.

From Kei – 1:48pm

I'm down the hallway, just wait for me

I nodded my head and put my phone away and closed my locker as I waited for her. It was pretty easy to see if she came down the hallway since there were no other students. I didn't have to wait long before I saw her come towards me with rapid footsteps.

- "I'm here, I'm here, don't make a big show out of it" she stated and rolled her eyes.

- "So, what's new?" she asked and we started to walk towards the library. Lucky there's signs all the way, else I would probably have got lost in no time.

- "We are going to make an essay about The First Great War" I explained to her and she eyes me.

- "Interesting" she replied and she didn't even bother hiding the sarcasm.

- "I know" I nodded my head as we entered the library.

You and Naruto had managed to find a couple of books for your essay. You felt somewhat lucky since some of your classmates probably were going to look for books about it as well.

- "I think we'll get a hang of it now" you smirked and looked at Naruto who had managed to get a ladder and looked at books atop of the large bookcase. You gulped lightly. It looked pretty dangerous, but you smiled a little and shook your head. He was only trying to ease your work a little by looking for more materials.

- "I think… I found something" he burst out and looked down at you with a huge grin on his face and held up a book. You smiled brightly. 'The First Great War A-Z' that might be a useful book!

- "I think we got everything set now, Naruto" you stated as he climbed his way down the ladder.

- "Of course! We'll make the best essay to date!" he smirked widely.

- "Depends on if you actually found something useful" a sudden female voice butted in, making Naruto startle and cling to the ladder not to fall down from it. You flicked your eyes the way from where the voice came, and frowned a little.

- "Sorry to ask, but who are you to judge that?" you asked raising an eyebrow. The silver haired girl smirked lightly.

- "I was stating the obvious" she declared and crossed her arms over her chest.

- "That was mean, Kei" Akemi pointed out as she appeared behind the silver haired girl named Kei. Your frown didn't exactly vanish at this.

- "Hey! We got ourselves useful information so back out!" Naruto growled as he finally came down back on the ground.

- "You're pretty cute, ain't you?" the girl named Kei asked with a sweet smile on her face. You narrowed your eyes a little and looked at Naruto. Maybe she do got a point.

- "Huh?" Naruto trailed off from her suddenness. Kei smirked lightly. You clenched your jaw.

- "You're cute, I like you.. Maybe you could help us gather some good books as well?" she asked with a flirty smile plastered on her face. Naruto..? Naruto blushed a light shade of pink and it was only because you stood close to him you actually could see it.

- "Let's go" the brown haired female said and tugged her friend's shoulder.

- "See ya cutie.. and Lina" Kei said and flicked her silver-white hair behind her shoulder and walked off with Akemi.

- "What was… that about?" Naruto asked and scratched the back of his neck giving you a questioning look.

You remained silent as you headed back to the classroom, where you were supposed to meet up before the school day ended. You sat looking in one of the books you had borrowed from the library.

- "Hey Lina?" Naruto gently elbowed you as you read through the page. You replied with a simple, 'hm?'.

- "Did you know the weird girl at the library with the new girl?" he asked. You closed the book in front of you and sighed.

- "We go way back" you murmured.
