Tsuki POV
The weekend was over, I had managed to sleep through most of my hangover yesterday. Alcohol may sound fun and great at the time but the pounding headache I had in the morning disagreed. I sighed. I was not looking forward to school, I hadn't talked to any of the girls since the party and I haven't seen or heard from Shika. Then again that might be a good thing. If I did hear from him thata would probably mean that he knew.. and if he knew..? I don't know what I do.. switch schools maybe? Hide under a rock?
I was still over at Temari's. The only reason I hadn't seen her since we got home was because I never left the bedroom. Or the washroom in it for that matter... Yes, I have my own bedroom. I visited so much they just let me have the spare room, which is great when Itachi is bugging me. I still haven't called my brother either, oh well, I'd see him at school anyway.
I heard a soft knock on the door before it creaked open. I rolled over to see Gaara. He'd been the only one I've seen since the party. I have the odd feeling that he knew what happened. I felt guilty every time I saw him. Sure, he's quiet and anti-social but he still was a friend to me.. I think anyway. He helped take care of me yesterday, even when Neji, Sasuke and them wanted to hang out. Thank god they didn't notice me.
"It's time to go to school.." He muttered. I just nodded before standing up to go get dressed. Putting on some eyeliner and mascara before meeting him, Kankuro and Temari downstairs. I avoided Temari's eyes. I feel like I made a big mistake.. I don't know what I was thinking or why I even thought that was a good idea. I mean.. what if he found out and stopped talking to me? Or what if other people in the school found out? I wanted to be a rebel.. show people I could be me.. not end up being labeled as the school slut. This wasn't working out well for me. Note to self: I hate alcohol, never ever drink it again.
I sat in silence as we drove to school.. Only muttering a small thanks when we got there before jumping out and bee lining to get away from them and avoid my other friends. Sure I currently looked cool enough.. but I was a mental mess. I kept playing the scene in the closet on repeat in my mind.. What if he recognised my voice? What if he remembered the tongue ring? What other people around here have a freaking tongue ring. If he thought about it at all, all signs point to me. I sighed.. sulking my way to class.
"Hey.. are you ok?" Kakashi whispered in concern as I walked past. I just nodded. No I wasn't ok, but I wasn't exactly up for telling my teacher that I'd dragged my classmate into a closet before sexually assaulting him while I was drunk and then realising I loved the guy. What's that.. two laws I broke? In one night? Real rebel, eh..?
You must be thinking I'm off my nutter.. I've lost my brain.. goner insane. Well, alcohol does that.. but I never thought I loved him.. It's only been a short while I've known him.. but even before the closet..uh..incident.. I can't get him out of my head. His pineapple hair, his thin toned body... His lazy smirk.. or the sweetness and kindness he showed when he told me about the little girl he used to tutor. His intelligence is beyond compare.. I could go on all day... Sure.. alcohol makes you stupid.. but it doesn't change who you are... I think it just pushed me towards what I wanted.. I didn't know whether to regret it.. or be happy that I had the guts to do it.. I sighed.
I made my way across the classroom before sitting down next to Neji. Ever since I changed my appearance I've been sitting with them. I don't really know why, I just never switched back to sitting with the girls. Not that I wanted to see them right now anyway. The chances that Temari told them what happened were pretty much 100%, and I really didn't want to talk about it.
Kakashi did roll call before writing something about assemblies on the board and then calling us to attention.
"So.. apparently there have been some activities going on including several students at this school that Tsunade wants to address. She'll be holding an assembly for the entire school to talk about it. There has been underage drinking, parties that have gotten out of hand, bullying and sexual activities that are not permittable." He said and I froze in my seat. Did someone find out? Is he talking about me? Shit... please, kami don't let him be talking about me. He didn't look at me so I was hopeful but I was honestly terrified...
"Ok, I have to make some photocopies of the school newsletter for you to bring home to your parents or guardians. I'll be right back." He spoke before leaving the classroom.
I lay there with my head on my arms as everyone else chattered away. My mind thankfully drifeted away from thoughts of Shika as the minutes dragged on. Kakashi-sensei said he'd only be gone a minute! It's been what.. I checked my phone. Half an hour? I was brought out of my thoughts when I caught a word or two out of my brother's conversation.
"Maybe she'll turn up soon.. has she called at all?" Naruto asked, he sounded concerned. Who are they talking about.
"No.. other than the new girl telling me that she's staying with Temari for a week.. I haven't heard directly from her since the night of the dance.. She stayed in bed sick all that day and I haven't seen her since." Sasuke muttered.
"Maybe you could try calling her?" He suggested.
"Don't you think I've already tried that? Dobe.." Sasuke said their usual nickname half heartedly.
"Try again. You might catch her, you never know." Neji inputted.
"She never answers." Sasuke said, defeat apparent in his tone. I kind of feel bad... maybe I should text him?
"Hn. Try anyway, like Neji said, you never know." Gaara said quietly. Traitor.. I gave him a small glare, but stopped before someone would notice.
"Fine." Oh shit.. is my ring tone off? Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit! I mentally panicked, looking for the phone I had just put away. Oh shit... I kept ruffling through my things as I heard him dial.
"*riing* PICK UP THE PHONE!" Shit! Where is it? I ignored the stares as my ring tone echoed through out the room. Finally I found it and picked it up just as it ended.
"Uh...hi?" I muttered uselessly into the phone. Why didn't I just ignore it... shit... I thought as everyone, including the boys next to me, turned to stare. Sasuke snapped his phone shut staring at me.
"Why do you have Tsuki's phone..." He whispered, eyes wide in shock.
"U-uhm... not what it looks like.. she uh... just uhm... " Crap.. this wasn't supposed to happen! "She left it at Temari's! Ya.. and I uh.. was going to give it back to her?" I finished, knowing my lie was pathetic.
"Where.. the hell.. have you fucking been?" He growled, his voice gaining volume with each word.
"At Temari's house?" I squeaked. Normally, he was nothing to fear, but even I knew I'd be in deep trouble when I got home, if not now.
"YOU WERE AT TEMARI'S HOUSE FOR AN ENTIRE FUCKING WEEK WITHOUT CALLING? ITACHI'S BEEN GOING FUCKING HAYWIRE!" He roared and everyone started inching away from him. He was scary!
"U-uhm... S-sasuke. Why are you y-yelling at her? You said you didn't know her.." Naruto stammered, his stupidity knew no bounds.
"I thought I didn't know her.." He growled. "I didn't think my sister would chop her own hair off, self-pierce, dye her hair and ride the motorcycle to school! Then disappear for over a week!" He yelled. And then, you ask? Shit hit the fan. I can't even remember them all, there were so many voices.
"Wait.. Sasuke has another sister?"
"THAT'S TSUKI!"
"Do you think Sasuke would kill me if I asked her out?"
"Holy shit.. what happened to her?"
But I barely registered all of the looks and whispers and gasps. What I did register as the look of anger, fear and concern of my brother. The look of disappointment with a glint of "I told you so" coming from Gaara. The looks of complete sympathy mixed with fear from my friends in the corner. Then it clicked.. why should it matter? I told him, he said hn which qualifies as yes.. this is my life.. am I not allowed to control how I live it? It's my body, I can do whatever the hell I want. I just caught the end of his rant before I retorted.
"-WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?" He yelled.
"Umm, excuse me? But who the hell do you think YOU are?" I shot back. "I fucking told you where I was going!" I yelled with just as much, if not more animosity than he did. He didn't respond, just let his jaw drop along with many others, so I continued.
"It's my fucking life! Stop trying to live it for me! You can't tell me what to do with my hair, or how long I should be studying for, or whether or not I can get piercings! You and Itachi are freaking hypocrites! You both got pissed at mom and dad for pulling this shit, then Itachi did it and now you? Just because I'm doing what you've always wanted to do but never had the guts to doesn't mean that you have the right to freak out on me!" I screamed.
"W-wha.." He sounded small.. weak.. for once, I was in charge. I didn't even let him finish his sentence.
"I can pierce whatever the hell I want, I can dye what I want. If I want a tattoo, I'm going to get it! I'll wear what I want, fuck who I want and you can't do shit! You wanted to ride your bike to school. Itachi didn't let you. Itachi wouldn't let me? I did it anyway! You wanted to get your lip pierced, you wait for permission. I did it and two others by myself! Can't you just admit you're fucking jealous instead of screaming at me! Get a life.. nii-chan!" I spit at him.
"You still didn't contact us or let us know where you were... we were just worried." He whispered quietly and uncharacteristically.
"I told you where I was.." I muttered.
"Ya, but we didn't hear from you since the dance.. and then you did all of this without even talking to us.. why didn't you just tell Itachi all this and talk him into it?" He asked.. looking tired. It was then I realised how much he had worried. He and Itachi were probably calling and looking for me and staying up late waiting for calls.. I felt a twing of guilt.
"I'm sorry.. I didn't mean to make you worry.. I was just.. sick of being called a goody two shoes.. sick of not being allowed to do anything.. sick of you two controlling my life.." I muttered, apologetically.
"It's ok.. I'm uh.. sorry for being too over-bearing." He whispered, apologies were never really his thing, never mind public apologies. He, along with everyone else in the class just stared at me before he spoke. "Can I ask one question?
"What...?" I spoke a little softer. I felt more calm now that that was out of my system.
"You said you did 3? What all did you pierce.. how many piercings do you have?" He muttered, not wanting to start another fight.
"I have 6 piercings, and you will learn where they are when you start treating me as an equal and not as property. Now, you will tell Itachi that I talked to you, and I will gather my stuff in a day or two at most. One blow out with family is good enough for one day."
"Hn.. fine." He sounded stoic to anyone who couldn't see his face.. but to those he could. He wore a smile, not one of those little smirks, a true, honest to god smile. He looked proud.
"By the way.. you should get a tongue ring nii-chan." I smirked as he looked wide eyed for a moment. He talked about getting one but was afraid. "If you want I can do it for you." He thought for a moment then looked up. Then he nodded.
"Aww, what a charming moment. Now that that's over, it's time for first period." Kakashi grinned from the front of the class.
"WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN?" Naruto and I screeched in unison.
"Uhm.. I skinned my knee so uh. I had to go to the hospital to get a bandaid. They gave me a sucker but I saw a crying child on the way here so I gave him my sucker and had to go back to get another one." He replied sheepishly.
"LIAR!" We yelled.
"Actually, I'm not lying for once." He chuckled, lifting up the knee of his pants to show us a dora band-aid. I face palmed.
Just another day in the weird life of Tsuki.. what else was I supposed to expect.
A/N: I had a lot of fun writing that. Hopefully you liked it :D Next chapter will be up soon but I need to work on my other two stories a bit. XD Also, sorry it's a bit short. I honestly couldn't make it much longer if I tried. (Note: I did try lol)
