Naruto, Shikamaru, and Chouji raced to school. "I'm tired, can we stop running now?" Naruto asked in a whiney voice.
"I want to stop too, but you refused to come out on time again. So if we don't run we're going to be late," Shikamaru told him.
"It's not my fault! My alarm clock never went off!" he yelled at him; which wasn't a good idea because he was almost out of breath.
"You need to start being better. Shikamaru and I get out on time and then we have to wait for you. Next time we'll just leave without you so we don't have to run," Chouji told him as they burst through their classroom door.
"Ah, Naruto, Chouji, Shikamaru, glad you could join us," Kakashi said with a smile.
"We aren't late yet, the bell never rang," Naruto told him.
"The bell rang three minutes ago, idiot," Kiba told him. Naruto frowned and he and his friends went to their seats. Then Naruto looked up at his teacher.
"Why are you here, you're usually late," Naruto said pouting.
"I just had a feeling you guys wouldn't make it to class on time today," he told him. Naruto crossed his arms.
"You're lying, what's really going on?" he asked. Kakashi sighed.
"You got me," he said with a smile. "I got here early because I had to get a seating plan for you guys. I know you're good, but all the other kids have one. I thought you guys felt left out."
"What, we don't need a seating plan!" Sakura and Ino yelled. "We like it here!"
"I know, but there seems to be some division between some of you. Now as a teacher it's my job to stop bullying and stop kids from feeling left out at a young age so you don't do it when you're older. I noticed that on the first day you all went straight into these groups without trying to get to know anyone else. I also noticed that on the fieldtrip it was the same thing. So now it's my job to wreck your fun and put you in a seating plan," he told the girls.
"That's not fare!" Kiba yelled.
"Yes, well I don't really want to give you a seating plan, but the principle said you need to be disciplined or something like that. Something about making new friends and that she put you all into a class together for a reason," Kakashi said with a sigh. "Anyways, the seating plan will be like this:
Sasuke, Shikamaru, and
Hinata in the back,
Kiba, Chouji, and Ino in the front right,
And
Naruto, Shino, Gaara, and Sakura at the front left.
Naruto and Gaara were already in the front left table, so they never had to move. But Shikamaru and Chouji got up and went to their seats. Shikamaru and Sakura switched seats, Chouji and Shino switched seats, and Ino and Hinata switched seats. Kakashi smiled. "Ok, I never picked the seating plan either, so if you have a problem it's not my problem, it's the principles'," he told the class. Everyone sighed. "Now, I'm going to let you talk to your new tables for a while. If you have any problems raise your hand and I'll get to you," he told him. Almost instantly after he said this everyone's hands shot into the air. Kakashi sighed. "Let me re-say that. If you have any problems that don't involve where and who you are sitting with, than you can raise your hands and tell me," he told them. "No one, good, now you guys talk and I'll read my book." A big sigh was let out through the class.
"Well at least there is one person I can talk to at this table," Sakura said looking at Shino. But Shino was staring at the table intensely. "Shino, I'm taking about you," she said. He still never did anything. "Shino!" she yelled slamming her hand on the table. He looked up at her.
"You killed him," he said. Sakura gave him a puzzled look. "You killed my newly born baby spider. His mom is going to be so sad," he told her.
"What, I just squished a spider, Teacher!" Sakura yelled raising her hand.
"Yes?" Kakashi asked raising an eyebrow.
"Can I go wash my hands?" she asked. Kakashi nodded. "Thank you!" she yelled gratefully. "I hate bugs, and I hate this table!"
When Sakura was gone Naruto started laughing. Gaara sighed. "Now it's going to rain," he said. Shino nodded.
"That's what I'm afraid of," he said. "And by the way that girl acts it's going to rain lots."
"So as long as we don't smash the table we're all good with the bugs?" Naruto asked. Shino nodded.
"I'll tell you guys next time there is a small one on the table. When I do make sure your hands are off it as I find it and get it back where it's supposed to be. As long as you two at least do this then I will have no problems sitting here," he told them. "And don't worry, Kiba and Hinata got used to it quickly so you should too." Naruto and Gaara nodded as Sakura came back in angrily.
"I'm never touching this table again! I want to go back to my old table with Sasuke!" she yelled.
Kiba glared at Chouji. "What?" he asked.
"I can't believe I have to sit with you," he said as Chouji pulled out a bag of chips.
"What's wrong with you, why in the world are you always eating?" Ino asked rudely.
"I don't eat all the time, only when I'm nervous or its lunch or supper or breakfast, or snack time," he told her. "That's why I was eating on the first day of kindergarten."
"Why are you telling us this? You don't even like us. You're just giving us more reasons to make fun of you," Kiba said.
"She asked and I answered her truthfully. That's just the way I am," he told him.
"Well just don't get crumbs all over the table, I hate dirty things, they are so sick," Ino said.
"Akamaru will clean it up if he does," Kiba said.
"Or he'll do it himself and lick the table," Ino laughed. Chouji put his chip bag down on the table and glared at her. "What's wrong not hungry anymore?" she asked.
"I lose my apatite when I'm mad," he told her.
"Can I have them then?" Kiba asked. Chouji nodded.
"What about me?" Ino asked him.
"No, I'm mad at you," he said.
"Yeah, well I didn't want your stupid chips anyways! I just want to go back to my table with Sasuke!" she yelled at him. "You two boys are such pigs! You eat all the time, and Kiba is a dog!"
"Look who's calling us pigs!" Kiba yelled. "You're the pig!"
"Hey, no one is allowed to make fun of my name!" she yelled at him.
"Sakura does," Chouji told her.
"Yeah, but she's my best friend!" she yelled at him then she moved to the far end of the table. "I hate this."
"Yeah, ok there Ino," Chouji said.
"Shut up!" she yelled. Kiba laughed.
"Nice one," he said high-fiving Chouji. "You're not so bad after all."
Shikamaru, Hinata, and Sasuke stayed quiet. Sasuke was looking out the window, and Hinata was too shy to say anything first. "So," Shikamaru said finally. Hinata jumped at this sudden sound near her, and Sasuke looked at him.
"What Nara?" Sasuke asked.
"I just thought it seemed weird sitting here quietly. I'm use to being with my friends who are always yelling and stuff," he told him.
"Y-Yeah, a-and Kiba w-was r-really n-noisy too," Hinata told him.
"I like it quiet," Sasuke said looking back out the window. Shikamaru sighed.
"You don't have to put on that "I'm a loner tough guy" act on around us, Uchiha," Shikamaru told him. "I've seen what you're like outside school, remember?" Sasuke looked at him and glared.
"There is no need to bring those things up," he told him angrily.
"Why? Everyone is being too loud to hear us talk since we are talking quietly. All my friends know about it already. And Hinata is too nice to tell anyone else about it or start rumours about it," Shikamaru told him. Sasuke didn't say anything. He just gave Shikamaru an evil look. "I was just wondering if you were ok, Sasuke. After what happened at the park you just went home," Shikamaru said with a sigh. "And then at the store you kind of helped us out, which I want to thank you for, but after you just walked out." Sasuke looked back out the window.
"I just didn't feel like fighting, and I left because I was sick of the yelling and stuff in the store. I was getting a headache. There is no need to thank me for anything. I never did anything," he told him.
"I'm thanking you anyways, because to me, Naruto, Gaara, and Chouji it was something. You never did anything when you would usually join in the fight to help bully us," Shikamaru told him.
"It was just my thanks for the day before," Sasuke told him.
"How is your brother anyways?" he asked.
"I don't know, he leaves early and comes home late now. It's like he is avoiding me," Sasuke said his voice had a hint of sadness in it. "But we don't need to talk about that jerk." Shikamaru nodded.
"You're not going to tell anyone about what we just said, are you Hinata?" Shikamaru asked her. Hinata shook her head.
"I-I'll never t-tell anyone a-about what w-we talk a-about here," she said with a smile.
"Thanks," Shikamaru said.
"Yeah," Sasuke said. "Thanks."
