For the next week and a half, Michelle taught Shikamaru.

"Ok. Here are 4 different books you can read for 'Language Arts'. They all are really good," said Michelle as she laid out 4 books. Shikamaru picked one up called 'Silent to the Bone.' On the cover was a boys face but his mouth was covered up by the title. Shikamaru read the back then put it down and picked up a book called 'The Westing Game'. The cover was black and had a house made of 100-dollar bills on it with fireworks shouting out of the chimney. He quickly read the back and placed it down. The next book was called 'A Man Who was Poe.' (A/N: guess who's that's about .) It had a very creepy cover. It was purple and there was a boy in a graveyard, looking past a tombstone. In the sky was Egger Allen Poe, staring at you with yellow looking eyes. Shikamaru shuddered slightly. He very quickly read the back and put it down. 'I am SO not reading that!' he thought as he picked up the final book called 'There's a Dead Person Following Me Sister Around'. Shikamaru raised an eyebrow at the title. The cover had a boy's face and his eyes where looking sideways, towards a staircase. There was a girl leaning on the stairs and behind her was a ghost. He read the summery and put the book down.

"Even thought it's troublesome, I'll read 'Silent to the Bone'," he said in his usual lazy tone.

"That's a good one. I read it in 8th grade," she said as she wrote down numbers on a piece of paper. "Try and have chapters 1-3 done by next week." Shikamaru sighed.

"How troublesome."

"Is everything troublesome?"

"Well…" Shikamaru thought about it. "Ya but sometimes thinking that everything is troublesome leads to more troublesome events." He thought about all the times Ino beat him up for calling her 'Troublesome Woman'.

"Why is everything troublesome?" Shikamaru thought about the question.

"Well, it's hard to explain. I guess… it comes down to 'why bother?'"

"Right…."
