God I haven't been on here in a long time. Everything seems different and stuff. Didn't say anything about it on the last update but wow...HaHa I'm coming up with lots of ideas for Phobia now. Haven't really written anything out yet though.
Me: Here's the next chapter hope you guys enjoy. : )
Still don't own Naruto...sigh the things I'd do to with him...and his shadowclone jutsu...he could..
.
.

Do all my chores for my ya know.
On with the sotry:
Chapter 21 Diamond the storyteller
A month, I've been here a whole month now. Nothing really changed besides the fact that I've been here a month…oh and I gotten use to the screams that goes on at night, and I've gotten use to my group of friends.
No. Scratch that. Something has change.
Neji and Hanabi are acting weird around me. I think I heard him call me an imposter or something, whatever that's about. Sakura seems depressed and I think Sasuke actually cares or something. Naruto and Michi and Kiba are antsy for some reason. And everyone else is a little odd as well. Lee…he's less loud. He's actually speaking at a normal voice. It's madding I tell you maddening.
Sigh. This all stared two days ago and I have no idea why.
The lights turned on. I staggered out of my bed and over to the mirror. Holding back the initial feeling of screaming I couldn't help but let out a small giggle. I could star in a horror movie with this look. My hair was all over the place, my skin was paler than before, and I looked like I haven't had an ounce of sleep. After washing up and putting on clothes, I grabbed my trusty notebook and pencil.
I was ready to face the day.
.
.
.
Okay maybe I wasn't but I was already on my way to the cafeteria so there was no turning back now.
.
.
.
Actually if I really wanted to I could turn back. I think I'll go and do just tha…
"Hinata you're not planning on skiping breakfast are you?"
I gulped and face diamond. I shook my head. She smiled.
"Good because if you did then I'd be eating alone."
I looked over at our table it was empty. Breakfast started five minutes ago and no one was there. Usually everyone would be there by now. Sakura because she doesn't like to be late and Sasuke because…well I don't know why. Naruto and Michi would be there because they were starving…really. Hanabi and Neji because they were punctual, like all Hyuugas should be. Everyone else comes in after me.
"Where is everybody?" Diamond questioned for me, "Well visiting hours is tomorrow. They always happen at the end of the month. Anyway you've notice how weird everyone been acting right."
I nodded.
"Yeah they all have their fears about visiting hours"
I raised a brow.
"Like take Michi she worries a lot about her friends and family. Her family is all the way in America so whenever they visit she worries because they have to get on a plan and well she just don't trust them all that much."
"I see. That's why she was so antsy?"
Diamond nodded. "Naruto on the other hand, his family only visited him once but every month he gets antsy because he thinks this is the month he's going to see them."
I looked down. Poor Naruto he had to go through things like that. I couldn't even imagine what it would be like to live with a family who ignores you. Father didn't like me but at least he showed me some about of attention.
Even if it was him just calling me stupid.
And mother she always told me so and would always hug me and kiss me and spend almost every waking second with me. She loved me.
Even if she was the one who sent me away.
"…Hinata are you in? Are you out? Please tell me you're not in outer space I hate it there."
"What?"
"Oh good you're back. I was worried you were going to start acting weird like everyone else. I thought since you haven't changed then you weren't going to.
"Sorry. This is just the first I heard of visiting hours though I have been meaning to ask."
Diamond eyes widen.
"You mean no one told you?'
I nodded.
Diamond shook her head. "Go get your breakfast and meet me at the table. God there is so much you need to know."
I did as I was told. The line wasn't long. Actually there was no one in the line at all. I was ten minutes late. I wonder if I'm late everyday would I never have to wait in line. In a line where there are people in front of me and in back of me. In a line where I start to feel claustrophobic because there are so many people. Being late means no line.
Well I guess being early would mean no line either. But who are we kidding? I'll never be early to the cafeteria.
"Okay Hinata you now know visiting hours happens at the end of every month."
I nodded, biting into the toast.
"Well after every visiting hours, the first of the month, we go on a field trip."
I put down my fork and picked up my pencil.
"Everybody?"
She shook her head. "Not everybody just the people who were good and stuff."
"Gotcha."
I went back to eating.
"Okay randomly throughout the year we'll pick a place to have a picnic and a place to have a field day."
"What's the difference?"
Diamond smiled, "Besides the names? Well on a field trip we'll go to places like an amusement park, water park, maybe a museum. On a picnic we'll go to a field park ya know the one they walk dogs at, any large open area is fine though. We'll usually have little games to keep us entertained and food, lots and lots of food. You got that?"
I nodded.
"Alright now a field day is different only because we have it here most of the time. There will be games and prizes. We have tournaments, karaoke, competitions, things you can buy with your points…don't give me that look I'll tell you just wait. Anyway there will be food, stall after stall of food. Hm what else happens on field day…"
Patiently I waited as she though. I finished eating some time ago during her explanation.
"Oh yeah they set up rides, small ones mind you a big ones will take a long time and doing a rush job is dangerous. There's also a bouncy thing, ya know the thing kids play in…not the ball pit but they have those there too if ya want to get in it. You can also learn things like they set up a baking booth once I remember because they put Michi in charge of it. God that was funny."
"What happened?"
"Well for starters they put Michi in charge. You're either a follower or a leader ya know. Michi isn't a follower nope the girl could never survive as a follower but she hates leading with a passion. Said something about not liking to be held responsible when something goes wrong."
I sweat-dropped.
Diamond giggled. "Yep when she first came here she was all quiet and stuff people thought she was mute."
I was slacked jawed.
"No way Michi that Michi the one we hang out with was quite?"
"It's not that hard to believe. You don't know Michi long enough to see it. It went like this when she first came here…"
Flash back: Diamond.
This place is stupid. That teacher is stupid. She shouldn't be wearing that necklace. It's a very pretty necklace but she shouldn't be wearing it ya know. What if something happens? What if its starts choking her because she was being stupid? She is stupid ya know. Telling us that our fear is only in our mind that there is nothing to be afraid of. You shouldn't disregards someone fears like that. If we're afraid of something you should work with us and not act as if our fears are little more than there's-a-monster-under-my-bed kid thing and that we'll grow out of it.
Ya know.
I couldn't help but glare at her. She wasn't helping us ya know. She was doing the absolute opposite. I tell ya about some of these teachers here. The ones who never had to experience what we have. They act all high and mighty because they never had a phobia or problem that made them go to an institute or get help from someone.
Where the hell did this lady get her degree from anyway?
"Diamond."
She was standing in front of my desk. Her perfume was strong. Hell when she was in front of the class I could smell it. I hate this lady. Her whole appearance screamed I'm-better-than-you ya know. And that was without her overly sweet voice. It was like she was talking to a little kid and not the teenager we are.
"Yes?" I replied back just as sweet.
Everyone was watching us. I could feel their eyes one me. And why wouldn't they. This happens once a week, they're little entertainment. The lady would try to engage me in a conversation in the middle of class cause I'm the only one who didn't speak to her and every time I would give her a smartass remark or comment. Then she'll kick me out of class and I'll roam the hall until next period. Either that or the broad would try to give me detention which I would get out of easily.
It pays to be friends with the person who signs the lady paycheck.
"How is your fear of jewelry coming along?"
I shrugs.
"I haven't had any more episodes if that's what you're asking."
She clasps her hand together, "Oh isn't that lovely. I notice you eyeing the necklace I have on…tell me what do you think of it?"
"I think it's very pretty." I told her honestly. It was pretty but I'll never wear it. those things can kill you.
"It is isn't it." she said while fingering it. "Diamond…what do you think of me for wearing it?"
"I think you're very stupid." I said without missing a beat, "I mean so stupid that you're in a category of your own ya know. And why do you feel the need to wear that in front of me. ya know I don't like them."
The fake smile on her face became even faker.
"Now…now Diamond those aren't nice things to say."
"Yeah well I wasn't going to say it at all but you had to ask me what I think and that was just what I was thinking. It's not my fault you ask for my thought then didn't have the thick skin to soak them up ya know."
The fake smile on her face became strained.
"Now Diamond you can't be saying things like that to everybody you mean they might thing that you're a very mean person, you don't want to be labeled a very mean person now do you?"
"If it keeps people from asking my thoughts of matter then I'll love to be labeled a very mean person. At least I won't be labeled as an incompetent teacher ya know."
The smile was now gone. Finally this took longer than usual.
"Now Diamond…"
"Now lady…"
She sighed. I sighed.
"Diamond I am going to have to ask you to step out of the class. I will see you tomorrow when you're attitude is better."
I got up and walked to the door.
"Don't hold your breath." I said then left.
It was quiet in the hall. I didn't much care for the quietness but it did give me time to get my wits together. People think of me as hard edge and nothing could faze me even my phobia. They often wonder and ask me why I'm still here if my phobia doesn't scare me like it does them. What they don't know is how hard it is to keep my phobia in check. They don't know how much strain it puts on me not to rip that necklace right off that lady ya know.
But my personal counselor and Sarutobi know. They're the only one who counts ya know. Speaking of Sarutobi…is that him. Who's that girl he's with? I never seen her before and it's not like there's a lot of people in this institute. Besides there not that many Americans here.
Three in total, me being one of them ya know.
This girl would make four.
I watched as they disappeared down the hallway then headed towards the rec room. I stayed there even after the bell rung. It was free period now ya know.
"Diamond you're here early." Ino said as she came to sit by me.
"Bet you she got kicked out again." Sakura spoke and joined us.
"She most likely did." said Tenten.
Everyone else joined us. It started getting noisy in the rec room. Then again if you place Lee anywhere it's bound to get noisy. Not that I blame him the poor guy.
"Ooh you guys I have something good to tell you." Ino gushed out.
I chuckled, "Ya know you always say you have something good to tell us."
The others nodded.
"I know I know but this time I really do." Ino said.
"Well then get on with we don't have all day." Sakura told her.
Ino rolled her eyes. "Well someone new joined the institute."
Everyone but me was shock and they exclaimed it.
"I know." Was all I said.
"How do you know already?" Ino questioned. Her eyes narrowed. They always narrow when she thinks she's about to hear something…juicy.
"You did?"
"How?"
"What did she look like?"
"Was she prettier than me?"
Trust Ino to ask that last one.
"Yes I saw her. I was kicked out that lady classroom again and was walking around the hall that's when I saw her and Sarutobi. Well she has light brown skin, brown eyes, and she's an American like me. And Ino ya know I don't do the whole girl judge thing."
Ino blushed and giggled. The girl was pretty though not that I'd tell them. Ino hears that and she'll think it's because the girl's skinnier than she is. Ino is nothing but skin and bones ya know. She shouldn't be thinking anybody is skinnier than her.
Just like I shouldn't be thinking jewelry can kill ya.
"Do you know her name?"
It was Kiba who asked that. The little horny dog. At least he's a cute horny dog. I shook my head.
"It's not like we talked or anything. If Sarutobi saw me out in the halls he would have made we go to his office for the rest of the period."
And he would have. Being friends with him could only go so far. We created a game. The other plays it to. If you get kicked out of the classroom and you're caught by Sarutobi then you have to go to his office. If you make it to the rec room then you're Safe and can stay there, the same with your room if you want to go there ya know.
"It's starts with a M." Sakura said.
"How do you know that?" Naruto questioned loudly.
"YOSH SAKURA YOU'RE YOUTH IS SHINING BRIGHTLY WITH KNOWLEDGE." Lee shouted.
Sakura rolled her eyes, "Mother told me a girl that starts with a M will be appearing soon I just didn't think it'll be this soon."
"Hey lunch should be starting soon right?" I questioned.
I was hungry and this conversation was starting to bore me.
"Yeah we have ten minutes left."
I nodded and stood up. "Kiba bet I can beat you in that racing game."
He stood up and grinned at me. His fangs showed, "How much you wanna bet."
I shrugged, "Twenty points."
We played twice. I won both time. I smirked as Kiba walked away like a beaten puppy. The bell rang. We headed out towards the lunch room. We were some of the first people there so getting lunch was easy. Along with us and some other was that new girl that started with a M.
I'll call her M.
She was sitting at the table closets to us. I don't believe anyone ever sat there so she was good. At least she didn't sit at Karin table. That other kid had to transfer to another institute because of that girl. Bitch got on my nerves. She had a brown paper bag and was pulling food out of it.
Once we got to our table I got Ino attention the pointed to the new girl.
"That's M the new girl."
Sakura gave me a look, "Really Diamond…you named her M?"
I shrugged, "What else am I supposed to call her we don't know her name ya know."
Sakura sighed and went back to eating.
"I wonder why she brought her own lunch…I didn't even think that was possible."
I rolled my eyes at Tenten. "Remember when I first came here I brought my own lunch. She probably doesn't trust the food it not like she ever had them before ya know."
Tenten shrugged and started eating.
I finished before everybody. It's funny because people expect Naruto to be the fastest at eating. And he was if the food was ramen ya know. He'd eat that stuff quickly like if he didn't then it'd disappear on him. No one could beat him in a ramen eating contest not that many people tried ya know.
"Hey after this we all have Iruka right?"
They looked at me as if I had grown another head.
"Diamond we are in the middle of the year and you still don't know the classes?" Ino questioned.
"The fate has dictated that Diamond is to forever not know her way around."
I wasn't sure if he was joking or not. With Neji you could never tell.
"Yes Diamond we have Iruka next."
I thanked Sakura. At least she wasn't being so difficult about it.
"YOSH WE SHALL TRAVEL TO IRUKA CLASS AND EMBRACE OUR FLAMES OF YOUTH FOR OUR YOUTHFULNESS IS VERY YOUTHFUL."
"Okay Lee." I said.
I wanted lunch to hurry up and be over with. Don't get me wrong I am a food lover but this food lover just ran out of food and now there's nothing left to do. At least I'm not like Naruto. Not only is he still probably hungry but he's going to get punch if he keep messing with Sakura like that.
…
Too late he already got punched.
"You guys bitch and crew at twelve o'clock." I said pointing to Karin.
The redhead was making her way over to M. Her crew behind her. She sat down at M's table. M didn't even look up at her. We were close enough to hear everything. Right now no words were exchanged but Karin crew were giggling like little school girls.
"Should we do something to help?" Sakura asked.
I shook my head, "Let see this play out first. We do something now it may cause Karin to act violent ya know."
And they did cause that's how Karin act.
"Hey you're the new girl right?" Karin asked.
M ignored her and continued reading. Karin glared at her. Ino giggled at the display. No one in their right mind (I know I know no one here was in their right mind), ignored Karin. We were the only group to oppose Karin. Not sure who the first to do something was but I have my suspicions it was Sakura. Karin pays special attention to her…either that or in the closet about something.
"Hey I'm talking to you."
M turned a page in her book.
"You mute or something? You deaf can't cha hear me?"
M glanced up at her.
Karin sneered. "Finally got your attention huh, well I just came over here to let you know that I own this place and that you better not get on my bad side. The last person to do so had to be transferred."
M went back to reading.
Karin stood up, "God I bet you're retarded or something."
M's left eye twitch. Her nails were digging into the book she was reading. Karin shook her head and knocked the girl water bottle down. The water soaked her sandwich and made it soggy. Karin and crew laughed as they walked away. M was still reading. Her left eye stopped the slight twitching it was doing and her hand loosened on the book.
Was she going to do something if Karin kept messing with her? I shrugged the thought off and stood up. The bell was going to ring soon and I didn't want to wait to have to throw my trash away.
"Guys I'ma go head to class now." I told them when I got back.
"I'm coming with you. Naruto throw my tray away for me." Sakura said standing up. Naruto agreed and went back on talking with Lee and Kiba.
We left the lunchroom in silence. But once we were away from prying eyes and ears…
"Diamond how are you feeling?"
"Fine." I answered without looking at her.
"Truthfully Diamond."
I sighed. You couldn't get one over Sakura.
"Truthfully I'm getting bored. You'd think I wouldn't with all that goes on in this place but I've gotten used to it. Nothing excites me anymore…well Kiba and Naruto pranks does but ya know."
Sakura nodded her head. It's easy talking to Sakura when she wants people to open up to her ya know. She just have that air around her. She told me once how she wanted to become a psychologist or something of the like. She could make it ya know if she gets out of here. Maybe one day she'll work for this place. She wouldn't be the first person to do so ya know.
"You sound depressed." She stated.
"Maybe I am."
I thought about it ya know. I do seem depressed and stuff. Sakura eyes widen and she looked around us.
"Don't say that what if someone hears you."
Yeah saying things like that was a one way ticket to the upper levels. No one wanted to go to the upper level ya know. Going to the upper level means you're too old to be with us kid or you're too messed up in the head to be around the others. You're a danger to yourself and to others if you go to the upper levels ya know. Admitting that you're depressed could and would send you to the upper level. And like I said no one wanted to go there. Ya know I heard someone broke free of their restraints and killed a nurse and another patient up there.
"I know I know besides I doubt I'm depressed. I just need something new in my life."
Sakura hummed and we walked in silence. We make it to Iruka door seconds before the bell rang. She turned to me.
"Why don't you make friends with the new girl…that could be exciting?"
I smirked at her. "Ya know I might do just that."
I sat down in my seat in Iruka class. Well it really wasn't my seat. Iruka didn't assign seats. On the first day of class this is where I sat. It was Ino, Sakura, me, Tenten, Kiba, Naruto, Lee, Sasuke, and then Neji. We sat in a large circle. Iruka was at the start and end of it.
People started filing in. My friends sat exactly where I knew they were going to sit. Karen and her crew sat a couple of chair away from us on Ino side. After Neji there were a couple of blank chai. They were blank cause those people got to go home ya know. They're lucky ya know. The last person to enter the class was M. She sat a couple of chairs away from Iruka.
Karin whispered something to her crew then pointed at M. M saw this I was sure of that but she didn't say anything. If that was any of us, Tenten, Ino, Sakura, or me, we would have did the same thing back to Karin or said something to the girl ya know. She was a bully ya know and a bad one at that.
"Alright class settles down. Today we'll begin with our new student. Why don't you tell everyone your name?"
"Iruka the girls a dumb mute I was talking to her and she didn't respond." Karin said.
"Maybe she doesn't speak stupid Karin ya know you're a natural at it." I said.
Karin glared at me and opened her mouth to retort but Iruka stopped her with that teacher look all teacher have ya know the one I'm talking about.
"Quit it you guys." He turned back to the new girl, "Come on tell us your name." He spoke kindly.
Iruka was like one of my most favorite teachers cause he was real ya know. If he spoke kindly to us then it was genuine kindness not like the fakeness of that lady who kicked me out ya know.
M sighed and opened her mouth. "Michi…my names Michi."
So she can speak. That's good to know. Hm…Michi…I'ma stick to calling her M.
Iruka smiled at M. "So Michi what would you like us to know about you?" he asked. He asked that to everyone. My response was "Whatever I'm willing to tell you." Ino said, "Do you really want to know?" Sakura was all, "Nothing." But I think she said that cause Sasuke said the same thing. Tenten just shook he head and smiled. Lee talked about the powers of youth and flames. Kiba grinned at everyone and howled. Naruto went on for about twenty minutes, seemed like forever ya know, about the goodness of ramen and how it's the food for the Gods. That one was funny and it wasted class time.
M looked at all of us. "As less as possible." She said.
"Why?" Iruka questioned.
"Why not?" M responded without missing a beat.
I grinned. This girl had bark in her. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad becoming friends with her. It'll give me something new that I've been wanting. I could see Sakura looking at me through the corner of my eyes. I didn't hide the grin though ya know. Besides you couldn't hide things from Sakura…or Ino for that matter.
"Would you like to tell us why you're in here?"
"Oh yes please tell us why you're in here. I bet you Suijestsu she's in here because she's retarded."
M left eye twitch again but she didn't say anything back to Karin. Maybe the girl was all bark and no bite. Sigh still M could still be cool to hang with.
"I would Iruka but that would be telling and then it'll be letting you know more about me which would be the direct opposite of letting you know less about me."
What now? Her eyes were all wide to like Naruto when someone says ramen isn't good for you…or good at all.
Her voice was kinda high pitch as well.
Though instead of being confused like the rest of us…really…Iruka was laughing, he was hunched over laughing like she had just told the most awesome joke in the world.
"Michi" he said shaking his head, "I still can't believe you're in here."
Do they know each other or something?
"What can I say Iruka" she said her eyes narrowing and a smile appearing on her face, a could see a fang, "I've been a bad girl."
The sight of her like that was kinda scary. She looked insane and not like the sweet quiet girl that was sitting there seconds before. M blinked and the whole look just disappeared.
What was with this girl?
"Yeah you have." Iruka said more mellow out then before, "Alright class…"
Iruka went on about whatever it is he talks about. Every now and then he'll try to engage someone in conversation. Sometimes it works and sometimes it don't ya know. I wasn't really paying attention though. My mind was still on M. she was strange. How did she just go from that quiet girl to the insane chick and back like that? And why was she in here in the first place. Maybe she was insane.
Naw she couldn't be. If she was then she'd be in the upper level ya know. All insane people get sent up there.
And she was down here so she wasn't insane ya know.
Class ended. Great. Now what do I do.
"We're done for the day Diamond. This was our last class. You want to go hang out in the rec room with us?"
I could kiss Sakura if it wouldn't be weird ya know.
"Naw I think I'm gonna go to my room and unwind before bed. I hate sleeping when I'm stress ya know."
I did I usually ended up waking up with a kink or something. Those things don't feel good ya know. I watched as all my friends made their way to the rec room. I went the opposite way towards the dorm room. I headed out the double doors and there was M. She was sitting under a tree and reading a book ya know. She glanced up at me and smiled before going back to her reading.
Weird ya know.
I made it to my room. It was the last one on the third floor. The very top floor ya know. It was good cause no one would be on top of me or on the left of me. Meaning that I only had to worry person making noises ya know. Luckily that person wasn't a screamer. We named the people who screamed at night screamers ya know cause they scream and stuff. Though it's not like it matters ya know. No one lived in that room since my first year here.
I kicked off my shoes and jumped in my bed. I rolled to my side my eyes landing on the picture on my nightstand. I miss them ya know. Been here for two years already and all because of one incident ya know.
Did they miss me?
I sighed. It was getting late. The lights were going to be turned off soon ya know. I stood up and prepared myself for bed. That was when I heard it. Something more like someone was moving around in the room next to mine.
It was M ya know cause no one else was new here. Shaking my head I laid back down in my bed and turned to the wall that was connected with hers. There was a lot of moving and banging going around. These rooms were next to sound proof so she had to be doing something really loudly for me to be able to hear here ya know.
"Fuck…"
I heard but everything else was muffled. And then I heard talking. I couldn't make out any of the words but from the sound of her voice I could tell she was angry ya know. There was another crash and some more loud curse words.
I hope this doesn't continue throughout the whole night ya know or I won't be getting any sleep.
The five minute bell rang telling us that we have five minutes before lights out. And then finally lights were out. And everything was quiet. Even M was quiet. She seemed to quiet down as soon as the light turned off ya know.
At least she wasn't a screamer.
Days have passed. Okay more like two days have passed. M seemed to be in almost if not all of my classes. I don't know for sure cause I haven't went to all of them ya know. I was back in that lady class. She was glaring at me. Stupid broad. M walked into the classroom seconds before the bell rang.
Guess she was in this classroom too ya know.
M took the seat right next to mines. She pulled out a book and started reading. I sighed and laid my head on the desk. The lady was in the front of the room talking. Seconds later she was in front of M's desk.
"Hello Michi." She spoke in that voice of hers.
M nodded her head and turned a page. I wanted to laugh at the look on the teacha face but I knew that'd only draw her attention on me. I didn't want that ya know.
"Now Michi, when someone is talking to you it is important that you pay attention to them." the woman said.
Michi nodded again not even looking up. The teacha took a calming breath and opened her mouth to speak again. I'd wish she'd leave well enough alone ya know.
"How are you feeling today Michi?" she questioned.
M's left eye started that slight twitch again. I sat up straight in my chair to watch. This was going to be interesting ya know.
M looked up at the teacha, "I'm fine." Her grip on her book tightened. Was she nervous or something?
Ya know cause nervousness could make you do that…right?
"That's good so have you settled in nicely?"
Cue left eye twitch.
"Yes I have." M said then went back to her book.
The lady got mad at this. She took the book away from M. though I haven't really known M or anything but even I could tell that was a bad idea ya know. M started clenching and unclenching her hands ya know. I could tell she was angry…
Ya know.
"Tell me your thoughts what are you thinking?"
"You wanna know what I'm thinking?" M bit out.
The teacha nodded happily ignorant to M's anger. "Yes tell me."
"Alright…I think you are the world most retarded teacher. You wear too much perfume and it's getting on my nerve. This classroom is ugly you're ugly your voice is ugly…God so much ugliness."
M was standing up and huffing by that point. The broad looked all appalled and stuck ya know. It was like she couldn't tell M was going to blow up on her like that. I could see that coming a mile away cause of the way that girl was twitching. The teacha took a calming breath.
"You want to know what I think?" She asked.
M's let eye did a single twitch. That creepy fang showing smile appeared on her face. Her eyes narrowed. She opened her mouth.
"DO I WANT TO KNOW WHAT YOU THINK…NO I DON'T BUT GO AHEAD AND TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK." She screamed.
"I think…"
"TELL ME."
"I think…"
"TELL ME ALREADY."
"I am…I think…"
"I CAN'T HEAR YOU WHAT ARE YOU SAYING? JUST TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK."
"I will if you just…"
"YOU WILL WHAT?"
"I will…"
"YOU WILL WHAT?"
"Tell you…"
"TELL ME WHAT?"
"What I think."
"Think…I didn't know you can think…see class we learn something new every day." M was back in her normal voice. That creepy smile was gone and replaced with a nice sweet, too sweet ya know, smile. Teacha on the other hand…
That lady was pulling on her hair. Her teeth was grinding extra hard into each other. It didn't help that the class was laughing and pointing at her.
No one really liked her ya know.
M cocked her head to the side. That too sweet I-didn't-do-anything-wrong smile still on her face ya know.
"Oh…weren't you going to tell me what you think?"
Teacha sighed. "I think you should pick up your things and go."
M's smile became more mischievous.
"I'll be glad too." She said. And with her book in her hand and her head held high M walked out of the classroom.
I was kicked out seconds later ya know. I don't know why…guess the lady finally got tired of seeing me…
"Hey guys…"
I turned to see Sakura and almost screamed. Sheesh she looks like she could star in a horror movie. Her hair was all over the place. Her lip gloss was put on all wrong. And her clothes…they were wrinkled.
Sakura never had wrinkled clothes from what I know.
I didn't even think she knew what wrinkled clothes looked like.
Then again she's Sakura and Sakura knows everything.
"Hey Sakura. Well at first I was telling Hinata some of the things that goes on at the institute…can you believe that It's been a month and she still doesn't know about visiting hour…we kinda got sidetracked ya know cause I started telling her the first time we met Michi."
Sakura dead eyes lit up and she started laughing. I glanced at Diamond and she was smirking. Sakura laughter died down a bit and she wiped a tear from her eye.
"Oh kami oh kami…which part are you on tell me which part are you on?" She rushed out and started laughing again.
"I'm at the part where she got kicked out of that lady classroom." Diamond said, spitting out the lady part.
Sakura started laughing louder. She was drawing people eyes towards us. I wanted to make like a banana and split…or better yet become a turtle and hide in my hoodie.
Yeah…hide in my hoodie.
"Aw I missed it. Kami I loved when you tell that part…at least I get to hear the Karin part." Sakura said. She was starting to look more like Sakura now, less depressed.
"I'll get to that part if just wait I have to tell it in order besides it's coming up real soon."
"Alright okay just hurry up."
I and Diamond shook our heads. Diamond opened her mouth and started talking again…
Flashback: Diamond: Again…
Now where was I…
You got kicked out of class because the teacher didn't like you.
Oh yeah thank Sakura
No prob
Okay beginning where I left off at:
Standing in the hall looking all confused was M. It's probably the first time the girl got kicked out of class ya know. Poor little M.
She is short ya know.
I went up to her fully planning on speaking to her. Ya know I haven't talked to her at all in her two days being here. Which kinda sucks ya know cause not only does she lives by me but she's in most of if not all of my classes.
"Hey M." I said. She looked up at me and raised a brow. I almost smacked myself in the face ya know. Her name wasn't M but that's what I've been using ya know in my head.
She chuckled but didn't say anything.
"Hey Michi that's was some funny stuff you did to that lady ya know I never seen her react like that and I've been messing with her since she first picked me out."
Michi's eyes went wide before going back to their normal length.
Weird but okay.
"Hiya" she said all excitedly then her expression changed to a sad one, "You really think so I think I could have done that better."
Now I went all wide eyed, "Done that better. What more could you have done? The lady was already pulling out her hair ya know."
M nodded…yeah I'm still going to call her that.
Why?
Why what?
Why are you still calling her M?
I always wanted to call someone a letter…I might name my son J.
Okay…carry on.
Gladly Sakura and stop interrupting me.
Back with the story:
M still looked down. "Well usually I have them twitching on the floor when I take my leave." She gave me a mock glare, "I think you toughened her up."
I laughed.
"Maybe I have…so Michi…you wanna be friends."
Michi smiled. "Yeah we'll be the best of friends."
This girl had too much energy ya know. And the best of friend…really…I just met her. Guess I'll just stick with Sakura on this one ya know. That girl is scarily right.
You know it.
Can you stop interrupting?
Hehe sorry I'll stop.
Thank God now back with the story Hinata…Hinata…you still here.
Yeah I am.
Oh…okay back with the story:
"Alright as a friend let me tell you…if you make it to the rec room, library, or your dorm room before Sarutobi finds you then you can stay there until your next class but if you get caught then you have to stay in Sarutobi's office until the bell."
M nodded and smiled, "Oh that's so cool. They never had anything like that at my old institute."
I raised a brow, "You transferred."
She nodded.
"I was kinda force to transfer…too much to handle or something like that."
I nodded. That was good to know.
"Follow me I'll take you to the rec room."
M nodded and smiled again. She followed behind me quietly as we made our way to the rec room. Sarutobi was nowhere in sight. Usually that man would be walking around to catch one of us and we'd be ducking into storage rooms and bathrooms right now ya know. But he didn't show. I guess he knew it was M's first time cause we're now friends and so he wanted to give her an easy walk.
Ya know cause I don't.
We made it there. M's eyes widen in surprised and a large smile went on her face. She glanced around the whole room. Konoha Institute was a very famous institute and their endorsers were rich.
Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura family gives them money…along with the Hyuuga family….
Bam. The cup in my hand hit the table. Diamond and Sakura looked up at me. Diamond looked concerned while Sakura had this calculating look in her eyes.
Did she know?
Did she know I'm the missing Hyuuga?
She couldn't could she? But it has been a month and Sakura seemed to work really fast. I shook my head. Sakura didn't know. At least she didn't know yet. Her look was calculating but not knowing. There's a difference you know. She's suspected but she didn't know yet.
"Hiya guys… is everything alright?"
"Hey Ino…yeah every things good. "Sakura answered glancing at me every now and then. Ino and Diamond didn't seem to notice that.
Ino sat down with her apple of a lunch. She bit into it and chewed it slowly before swallowing. She then sat the apple down to gulp down whatever was in that container of hers. She looked up and us and exclaimed her happiness.
"That hit the spot…so…what are you guys doing?"
"Diamond is telling Hinata how Michi became part of our group." Sakura answered.
"What? Did she already to that teacher party?" Ino demanded.
Sakura nodded sadly. Ino looked down like she was going to cry or something. Sakura patted her on the head.
"At least we still got her and Karin." Sakura said.
Ino brightened up and turned to Diamond.
"Well hurry up and get to that part Diamond…Kami not only have you started this without me but you're taking so long to get to my favorite part."
Diamond shook her head.
"Alright already hold you're horses."
Once again the flashback: Diamond.
So this institute had a lot of rich people backing it. Sarutobi also put a lot of money in it…he did own it ya know.
Anyway M was playing that racing game that I beat Kiba in. She was doing good to, got the highest score ya know. She beat me! The bell rung, it must have shocked her because she messed up and died. Rolling her eyes she left the racing game and sat on the couch next to me.
"So how come you're in here?" she asked.
She was smiling.
"Well I have a phobia ya know." She looked shocked at that.
Wasn't everyone who have here have a fear of something…
And then I remembered Haku.
"Do you mind if I ask what type of phobia do you have?"
I shrugged. It was alright with me.
"I have a very strong fear a jewelry…I doubt there's a name for it at least no one told me one." I told her. She nodded her head still all wide eyed.
"So how come you're in here?"
M shifted in her seat, "Um…"
"Hey Diamond."
We turned to see Tenten waving at me. Sakura, Ino, and the others were there as well. They came over to me and smiled at M.
"Hi my name's Tenten…you're Michi right."
Michi nodded her head.
"I'm Sakura and the long blond haired girl is Ino." Sakura spoke.
Naruto came bouncing up seconds later.
"I'm Naruto and that's Kiba. Mr. Emo over there is Sasuke. And that's Neji." He introduced. M nodded and smiled at everybody.
"Hiya I'm Michi as you already know…unless you're Diamond then my name is M."
The others looked at me and shook their heads. So you call someone a letter out loud once and you can never live it down.
Why would we let you live it down?
Yeah I we should bug you about it more.
Sakura Ino can you just let me tell the story.
Hehe sorry we'll let you finish.
Back with the story:
It was going good and everyone was getting along with M. M even cheated Kiba out of some points from that racing game. Maybe I should have told him how good she was…
Who cares.
We went to lunch. M was sitting at our table today. She brought her own lunch again. I shared some of my food with her. Ya know the only way for her to get used to the food here is to eat it. Karin was staring at her. I could see the girl. She was up to something. I glared at her and she turned back to her table.
"Those are really good what are they called?" M asked.
"Dango…there dango."
"Dango…" M repeated. She smiled and ate the last one. I gave her a mock glare and she smiled at me.
"Go throw your lunch away guys…the bell is going to ring soon."
We did as Sakura told us to. And then we headed off to Iruka classroom. M sat next to us. They made room so she could sit next to me. Everyone else started filing in. Karin and her crew sat down in the same spots as two days ago. They glared at us. We glared back…well all of us but M. she ignored them like they were nothing.
I think that made Karin madder ya know.
Everything was fine. Iruka talking to us about whatever he talked about. We listened…most of us anyway. Yep everything was like usual until he was called out of the classroom by somebody unimportant.
So Iruka left.
Karin used this as her time to strike. She walked over to us, her crew behind her watching our every move.
"Oh so the stupid gathered together I see." She commented. She was looking pointedly at M.
M like usual ignored her.
"Why don't you go back under you're rock Karin." Ino said.
"Yeah leave us be."
Karin glanced at Ino and Sakura. She rolled her eyes at them then turned back to M.
"So the stupid hangs out with the losers…fitting don't cha think?"
M said nothing. Karin glared at her then turned to me. She reached in her pocket.
"You know Diamond I was looking through my catalog and I saw this awesome item that I just knew you'd love."
She pulled out a necklace. It looked like the same necklace I saw in the store that one time…the same necklace that had choked me.
I jumped back…the chair I was in was knocked to the floor. I grabbed at my neck like I was choking. Karin and her friends they were laughing at me. She dangled the necklace in my face laughing as she did so.
I could see M out the corner of my eye. She gotten up and went to the back of the room. She came back seconds later with foam bat in her hands. Ya know the things people used in counseling to get their anger out.
M tapped Karin on the shoulder. Karin turned around.
"What do you want stupid?"
M smiled at Karin. An insane look on her face. She didn't say anything…just raised the bat and hit Karin on the head with it.
"That's for the sandwich you destroyed the other day"
M hit her again.
"That's for bugging me that day as well."
M hit her again.
"That's for calling me a stupid."
Karin was on the ground. M was still hitting her. Finally M threw the bat away she got on top of Karin and started punching her.
"This is because I just don't like her."
Karin crew got up at that point. They rushed over to help her but the guys kept them back. M was screaming and punching her. Iruka came back into the room. He rushed over to M and got her off of Karin.
"Michi…Michi calm down calm down already."
M stopped and looked up. The insane look was gone. She smiled at Iruka.
"Hey Iruka how's it going."
Flash back end.
Sakura and Ino were laughing. Diamond was chuckling as well. I was giggling.
"Kami Hinata-chan you have no idea how funny that whole things is." Sakura laughed out. Ino nodded whipping a tear from her eye.
"I don't but it's still funny…so um…what's this whole point thing?"
I was about to show them the sentence but someone grabbed it from me.
"I don't but it's still funny…so um…what's this whole point thing?"
I gave Michi a mock glare and she smiled at me.
"The point system Hinata is just our way of getting prizes. Every day you get ten points. If you be good the whole day you keep the ten points. If you're bad you get points taken away from you. You can get awarded points aside from the ten you get during the day. When we have a fun day we can use those points to get things…um…there should be a thing in your room that tells you how many points you have."
I nodded glade that someone finally answered that question. Michi smiled at me and sat down next to Diamond.
"Hey D how's everything?"
"Everything's good M."
We started laughing again. Michi looked at us confused and then her eyes widen. She turned to Diamond and glared at her.
"Hey you told Hinata the story without me being here." She accused.
Diamond shrugged.
"Hey the time was right."
Michi sighed and smiled, "Whatever…anyway guys the bell is going to ring soon."
We got up and threw our trash away. We left the lunchroom and headed to our next period class. Ino and Sakura went down one way. Diamond, Michi, and I went down the other.
Me: The next chapter. Things are now moving again.
Hinata: Things like what?
Me: Well you didn't hear it from me but the next chapter is going to cover the visiting day. And the chapter after that is the field trip. With that being said I would like it if you guys come up with places where they could go on their field trip along with things that could be brought to the picnic and field day.
Hinata: We take all thoughts.
Me: Yeah what Hinata said. So see you next chapter.
