Disclaimer: I own very little. 'Tis sad. D:
Ahh! Are all schools here like this? I've been living all over the world for so long I can't remember anymore, but my hand is about to fall off from taking notes non-stop!
Argh...and then...in the 1600s...the...French...I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANYMORE!
"Whats WRONG with you?"
OH MY GOD. I did NOT just throw my pencil at SASUKE-KUN OUT OF FRUSTRATION!
NONONONONONO
How could I forget that it was Sasuke-kun sitting in front of me?
"I am sooo sorry. Are you ok? I didn't poke a hole in your uniform or anything did I?"
He must've been really fed up because all he did was scowl and turn around again. Wait no! He's turning around again! Has he forgiven me?
"Please...do me a favor..."
"Sure! Anything!"
It was the least I could do to make up for ruining his morning by persistant poking, really.
"Don't ever. Bother me. Again. You can do at least THAT much, right?"
What...WHAT? Was he telling me to never speak to him again? Never to be near him again? This wasn't going right at all. If I couldn't even get close to him how was he going to fall in love with me? I frowned.
"Don't ever. Bother me. Again."
His words echoed in my head for who knows how long. I had completely stopped paying attention and was furiously jabbing my pen into my notebook. I'd already broken all the pencils. I'm pretty sure the girl besides me had scooted her desk away from me, who knows why.
Ah! THATS IT! I just couldn't BOTHER him. Yamanaka Ino is NEVER a BOTHER. To be in her prescence is blessed. I could still talk to him as a wished! Just no more poking! That must be what he meant.
Hahaha, just you wait. Uchiha Sasuke, you're mine.
"Don't you think the new girl is a little...well, strange?"
"Huh? How so? I haven't talked to her yet."
"Well she kept poking Uchiha-kun before...then she threw her pencil at him...and then she started breaking her pencils by stabbing her books..."
"Wait, THAT Uchiha?"
"Do you know any other Uchihas?"
"Dang..he must be pissed."
"Of course! Anyone would be!"
"Yeah but...UCHIHA"
"And now shes staring at him and laughing weirdly... it's kinda creepy."
"Oh was that what it was? I thought I was still having those nightmares...you know, the kind you get during the day. From watching horror movies at night."
"...Who gets nightmares during the day?"
"What're they called? Daymares? No, that doesnt sound scary...day-nightmare? Something..."
Oh, LUNCH! How I have waited for you!
The bell rang and I practically SKIPPED out of the classroom. I think...maybe my classmates were begining to think I'm a weirdo or something.
NOT TO WORRY! Everyone would soon succumb to my ..er..wonderful-ness! And the world would be a happy, happy, sparkly place again!
What exactly did I have for breakfast anyway? I don't feel very sane.
Oh, yes. Lunch! Shikamaru! Chouji! And Sasuke-kun!
Which was the way to the lunch hall? The Cafeteria? Was there off-campus lunch? I shall venture towards this dining area with the assistance of a random schoolmate then.
Meaning, I grabbed a random guy and asked him directions.
"Excuse me...where do I go for lunch?"
"HEY! Hm. Wow. I haven't seen you before! Are you new? My name's Uzumaki Naruto! Wanna be my friend?"
Wow, I certainly chose the wrong guy to ask; he's babbling at about fifty miles an hour. At least he's taking me to where ever I'm supposed to be eating at.
"Lunch? Yeah, we eat in the cafeteria. But on Fridays theres a mixed off-campus lunch, and we can go wherever and its all the classes and longer, but the school day is longer too. Where did you say you moved from?"
"I...didn't. We just moved here last week from-"
"Oh! Is this your first time here? It isn't, huh? Because you speak pretty fluently! And you don't look foreign... are you foreign?"
"I'm-"
"THEY'RE SELLING MISO RAMEN TODAY! Ok, bye I need to get in line early or there won't be enough ramen left! Excuse me! Move, please! Ah, you're standing on my foot! Move, move, move! Excuse me! Pardon me!"
What was that all about?
Ah, whatever. I need to eat something.
After buying my lunch I wandered around the place looking for an empty seat. Wow, the school's pretty big.
"HEY! Over here!"
Ah, the loud-mouthed blonde again. Ugh, sitting at his table I wouldn't be able to ask anything about Shikamaru or Chouji. I'd never get a word in.
"-and soooo..I decided to run! It really was.."
How did I get dragged into this? He appeared behind me and I was suddenly pushed towards the table anyway. And why does he have enough food to feed a third-world country? Was he going to eat all THAT? I poked my around food and sighed. I should give asking a try anyway.
"Hey"
"Have you ever seen-"
"HEY!"
"Hm?
A MIRACLE!
"Do you know a Nara Shikamaru?" I leaned in close and stared him down. He was NOT going to evade my question.
"...Shika...maru...AH! THE PINEAPPLE!"
"Pineapple?" I guess he hadn't changed his hairstyle, then. "Too troublesome", he'd say. Hey, whats the loud brat doing?
"OIIIIII! PINEAPPLE-HEAD!" he yelled, standing up and waving his arms around.
"Shikamaru, I think theres someone calling you"
"Huhh"
"If you're gonna sleep...can I have you lunch?"
"...hnn"
"Thanks"
"PINEAPPLE-HEAD!"
What was going on? I turned my head towards the direction that he was waving in.
SHIKAMARU! AND CHOUJI!
"SHIKAMARU! Don't you remember me?" I asked, poking him in the head with his un-used chopsticks. "And Chouji! I haven't seen either of you for such a long time! Aren't you surprised?"
"Ino? Ino! You're back! Are you back? Why are you back? Why didn't you tell us? Or did you tell us? Are you gonna eat that?"
"Becauseeeeee I wanted to surprise you guys! It's been working so far," I replied happily, jabbing the sleeping pineapple's head even harder with each word. Oh, finally, he's waking up!
"...Ino?"
Ino? That's it? He wakes up, stares at me, says "Ino?" and rubs his eyes, and GOES BACK TO SLEEP?
"Must be a dream, or nightmare or somethin' " he mumbled, settling back down on the cleared tray.
"Nara. SHIKAMARU" I said loudly in his face, ignoring the last line, poking him with a spoon, "Do I LOOK like I'm fake?"
Well, really. I'm so pretty I can't blame him for thinking I'm just a dream. How could someone this wonderful actually exist?
"Yeah, I figured," he grumbled, lifting his head with a bitter grin, "it hurts too much to be a dream. Did you have to poke so hard?"
"Mou! Couldn't you have acted more surprised? Did you know? Oh my god. YOU KNEW! YOU KNEW! HOW DID YOU KNOW?"
No way, was there a tracker on me when I left? He's smart enough to make one undetected...Who am I kidding, why would Shikamaru be productive enough to track me? And why would he anyway?
"Well," he sighed, "that pink-haired girl was just a LITTLE loud on her way back to the classrooms after break, and woke me up while I was sleeping on the stairs."
Sheesh, talk about a let-down. He KNEW.
"Shikamaru! You knew and didn't tell me? Why didn't you tell me Ino was back?"
"WAH! SO YOU ALL KNOW EACH OTHER! Eh, what was you name again?"
Whoa, when did the brat get here? I can't believe he was actually QUIET for so long.
"Yamanaka Ino"
"INO-CHAN! Nice to meet you!"
Meet? So, what, did he not comprehend the fact that I was there for the past however many minutes?
"AH! LUNCH IS ALMOST OVER! Ehehehe, sorry I need to go buy another bowl of ramen before they close!"
Another bowl? What was he? An eating machine?
"How exactly...does he eat all that?"
"Dunno."
I walked back to class with Chouji and Shikamaru, asking about anything and everything and vice-versa.
As I got to my classroom I paused outside and reminded myself to act like a normal, sane person. And of course, not poke Sasuke-kun anymore. He may get bruised!
Yosh! I took a deep breath and walked into the classroom and sat down at my desk. Ah, he was already sitting down? Does he even leave the classroom at all? Sheesh, if it wasn't for his looks, he'd probably have come across as a boring person when I first met him.
But! That look in his eyes! He seems so mysterious! He must have some past he's trying to forget or something... so interesting!
Eh, I guess I spent the rest of the day dreaming...of Sasuke-kun of course!
Besides meeting my old childhood friends again, this day was completely boring. Hmm..where to go afterschool? Hang out with Chouji and Shikamaru? Or, no! I can get Sakura to take me shopping...or I can talk to Sasuke-kun some more...or-
"Excuse me, do you have a pencil I can borrow?"
"Oh um...sorry I...broke them all..."
"Thats ok, thanks anyway"
A/N: Are there any Sakura fans? Because she may be made to be the antagonist for a while..
Hm and so far Sasuke has the votes and Shikamaru has none...and one for the random crack pairing XD
