ForgetfulFollower – I wonder that, too. Guess we'll find out huh?
StealthAnbu – Thank you for the reminder, however, I've already taken that into account and will be writing the story accordingly. I will be clarifying her reasons as the story progresses.
Non of ur Business Sorry – Does now count?
We walked up to the school. It had only taken us five minutes so we were now fifteen minutes early. I was about to in when a hand on my shoulder stopped me. I turned to Naruto, brow raised in confusion. He was looking down at the ground.
"Naruto, what's wrong? Are you nervous about the exam because if that's it, it's-"
"No, no, I am but not that. It's just..." He trailed off.
"It's just?" I prompted.
"Ah, nevermind. Forget it. Come on I wanna get the good seats! Dattebayo!" He said and ran inside, leaving me to follow in confusion.
I walked into class to find chaos already. Sakura-chan and Ino-chan going at it. I sighed knowing exactly why. I looked around searching for Naruto only to see him standing on the desk in front of the subject matter and just in time to see him- Yeah, that image was going to be burned into my skull for all of eternity. I didn't even know he rolled that way.
"NARUUUTOOO!" Fire and smoke blew from the mouths of several girls. Hormonal girls defending a guy they love. Usually I wouldn't but I suddenly found myself in front of Naruto and holding the attention of the girls. Curse you and your protectiveness!
You're welcome. Now stop them
"Wait! Guys he didn't mean to! The guy in front of Sasuke pushed him into him," I said.
"Yeah, yeah! What she said!" said Naruto.
Sasuke scoffed, "As if, bet you've been waiting to do that."
"What'd you say!" I glanced behind me to see Naruto glaring at Sasuke again and Sasuke staring at him indifferently. There wasn't much I could do with that spat so I turned my attention back to the girls only to regret it instantly. If looks could kill, my soul would be dust. Sakura stepped forward, fist raised.
"Stay out of it freak!" Next thing I knew I was sitting next to Naruto nursing a few lumps.
Get in front of the girls they said. Stop the fight they said. Order some takoyaki they said!
We didn't say that last one… Yeah! Well someone did!
That was me...I'm not sorry. Thanks, cause now I want some.
"Huh? What'd you say?" I winced both from forgetting Naruto was next to me and agitating a particularly sore lump. I got it, you big baby.
"Oh uh, I was just thinking about takoyaki and how amazing it'd be." I really needed to stop thinking allowed, but his disbelieving look made me defensive. "What? Really! It sounds amazing!"
He rolled his eyes in response. "You're really weird yah know?"
"Yeah, and you decided to be friends with me," I countered.
"Last I checked, you decided first," he said just as quickly. I stuck my tongue out in response. He was right of course but I couldn't let him know that.
"Alright class, settle down. It's time for the final exam," Iruka-sensei announced, "I will call you in alphabetical order. When you are called please come to the adjoining room.
My anxiety immediately shot through the roof. I had forgotten in all the hormonal chaos. My mind ran a million miles a minute. What if I mispeak? What if I forgot a jutsu? What if-
Stop! My thoughts immediately halted. Take a breath. I did. Again. I did. Good, we are here for you. You will not fail. Not on our watch. Just relax, breathe, and you will get through it. My shoulders began to relax as he spoke and I calmed. Thanks Jeremiah. You always know what to say. You are welcome, my dear. Now go take your exam.
A/N I hope you guys enjoyed! Let me know what you think! I'll try to update again soon! bye bye!
