Thank's for reading.

I do not own Naruto or any of the charcters.

Friday was the worst day ever. I don't even know why I bothered to go to some of my classes; most of the students were not there anyway and those who went were too excited to be concentrated. The coming night was the main talk in the entire school; but no sign of the transferred. No one knew if they were coming or not. Even those that I met in today's class did not seem excited or concerned by the agitation of the students. They did not seem to be capable of any emotions except seriousness and cold.

First period: biology with Hidan; the one with silver hair which I doubt it is his natural color. Not talking, not looking at anyone and reply sharply at anyone that bother him; even the teachers. Second period: art with Deidara and Sasori. They left the class early saying that they knew about art better than anyone here. Third period: integrative project with Pain and apparently the only girl; Konan. They did not talk to anyone but themselves; I don't even think they know what the class is about.

Last period: literature. I sat early in class today. Since I did not come yesterday I must know what happened and receive the assignment. I borrowed the paper form the one sitting beside me; apparently it was an oral exposition about one author, in group of two. The due date was to be confirm but most likely for next week. Apparently I won't have the satisfaction to work alone. A partner has been assigned to me. So I waited to see with who I would have to work.

The class started with the eternal sarcasm of the English teacher. Apart from missing some classes now and then I've never did something to deserve his hate. I was never cut talking to someone else; I never handed in my homework late; never asked for an extension… but every sharp comments or sarcasms was directed towards me; and today was no exception.

- Happy to see that you remember that you are registered in this class Miss Haruno. Can we all know why you felt like last class was not important enough to attempt?

- I was sick. I answered like usually.

- Oh! This mysterious sickness again? You should really do see a doctor to know why it is my class that triggers you said sickness. Anyway, you'll be paired for the assignment with Deidara. I think you two go perfectly together.

I looked around the class to see where my new partner was sitting but could not find him. Maybe he went home? I started to think that going home was after all a good idea. I still could ask to go to the toilet and never come back; or fake sickness. It was not the perfect plan but it was good enough to get the hell out. I was preparing my things when someone knocked on the door. Deidara entered the room without permission to do so and went to his desk. We could all feel the shock of the teacher. Tension was in the air.

- Thanks to you to join the class, but it starts half an hour early. Why are you late?

- Got lost, he said indifferently.

- Well perhaps I should give you a GPS. Anyway, open your book at the page 394.

I guess that my partner is as careless as me. I wonder how he will behave while working with me on the project. Will he be distant, not say anything; will I have to do the project on my own after all. I mean, guys don't really care if there is someone else to do the job. Right?

The rest of the class just stared at both of us in silence the all class. They were used to my defection regarding this subject in particular but now that there were another student that act like me… it seems that I would not be the only one to get the legendary sarcasm of Hiruka sensei.

The end of the class was a relief. I could not take another stare of everyone. I took my books and shoved them in my bag. I just want to leave the school and be home to get ready for the coming night. I almost was at the door when someone grabbed my shoulder. I turned and saw that it was Deidara that was holding me back. He looked confused, like if he did not plan to grab me. I turned and waited for an explanation.

- I just wanted to know… since we're partner for the assignment; how do you want to do it?

- Well you can choose the topic, I don't really mind. For the rest, we'll see that after the week-end. Now excuse me but I'm hurry.

- Ya tonight's party…

- Are you coming? I asked.

They did not answer clearly when I invited them to go out with us. Maybe I will have a better chance asking my new found partner knowing he will be stuck with me for the next week.

- Some of us decided to go. I'm not sure yet.

- Okay, well I'll maybe see you there.

I saw Ino in the corner; waiving at me and yelling at me. I walked up to meet her and we walked together to her car that was waiting at the front of the school. We went to her place because she had to have all her cloth with her in order to decide what to wear. I chose to wear a simple and comfy outfit; black jeans and a red shirt that according to Ino was really feminine and made me look attractive. Whatever, I'll probably wear my hoody anyway. Shoes: my red Converse. Ino went for the ocean blue dress and black high hills. We waited a lot of time doing our makeup and doing our hair. After hours of preparations, we were finally ready to go out.

It was near the end of the afternoon and the sun was almost down by the time we arrived at the beach. Ino and I were one of the first to arrive along with Hinata and her cousin. Some of the elite students were supposed to come and spare some time with the school's mass. Even our good friend Gaara will come join us; which was a special event since he is not the type of person that goes to social event. Or even see people outside the school.

The place looked amazing. The guys really put effort into it. The beach has been arranged in three parts: at the left was the parking lot with Naruto's car and the speakers playing music to the maximum volume. There was a lot of room left for everyone's cars and even more. At the right were two tables with drinks and chips. I've been told that more food was in the way; like in every party everyone brings something to share. And at the center of the beach were the bonfire and enough wood to get it burn all night long. The bonfire was the reason why everyone was coming and it has been like that for years.

We lit the fire as soon the sun disappeared beyond the sea. Most of us were here and started on drinking. I was staying mostly with Ino, Gaara, Naruto, Hinata, Neji, Shikamaru, Shoji, Lee and Tenten. We were all goofing around and started to play the dumbest game Ever. A party cannot be a party if we don't play truth or dare.

- Naruto, truth or dare? Started Tenten.

- Well since I always say the truth I'll take dare.

- You have to kiss Hinata. She said laughing.

- What, that is not fair. What if she does not want to kiss me?

We all started to laugh. Of course she wants to kiss you, Baka. Hinata was as red as my shirt and tried to hide her face in her hands while mumbling something. After a good ten minutes of debating on should Naruto kiss Hinata and where, he actually managed to give her a small kiss on the cheek; which was enough emotion for the poor Hinata that seems to be on the verge of passing out.

- Okay, now Sakura. Truth or Dare? Asked Ino.

- Dare.

She paused for a minute and looked around for my victim of an embarrassing dare. It took her another minute to find what I should do. I could tell that it would not be pleasing; she had the biggest evil smile on her face and laugh a bit at her own thought.

- You have to go and convince those two to play with us. If you don't succeed you will have to give me that hoody. I'm a bit cold.

I looked where she was pointing and saw Itachi and Hidan standing by the fire with a drink in their hands. Great, I probably won't succeed at bringing them to playing a stupid game. But in another hand they came here to meet people; I might be able to trick them somehow. So I slowly walk to them and stood next to them; looking at the fire.

- So… you two came.

- Ya, but I don't think it was a good idea, said Itachi.

- How's that? I asked.

- Well everyone is looking at us like we don't belong there and no one dares to talk to us. Replied Hidan. He was looking at me like if I was stupid to not have seen that.

- That is probably because you're SO approachable. I said sarcastically. Anyway, come with me, I'll present you some people like that you cannot say that no one's talking to you.

I did not let them the time to reply and went back to my friends. They all looked surprised to see that the two guys were following me. I started to introduce Hidan and Itachi to everyone. They seemed pleased to be finally talking to people, even sharing a beer with us.

- So Itachi, said Naruto, truth or dare?

- Oh, I'm not playing.

- If you refuse to play you will have to drink the "mortal cocktail", it is basically a drink made of all alcohol we can find; which is disgusting. Explained Neji.

- I guess I'll go with truth then.

- Easy one; how did you met Hidan?

- He tried to kill me when we were younger. He said with no anger in his voice.

- He tried to kill you and you're his friend? I said.

- Well yes. We were always fighting and one day we just started to hang out together.

- Does he still try to kill you? Joked Naruto.

- Sometimes when he is angry, he answered, you… Neji if I remember well. Truth or dare?

We continued to play like this for another hour. We laugh so hard when Gaara had to ask a random girl to go out with him and she said yes. He kept trying to find out what her name was without succeeding. The red hair girl in question was in heaven, Gaara was popular in school and she would be the first one to actually hang out with him as his girlfriend.

- Okay, said Hidan, last one. Itachi, Truth or dare.

- I'll take dare, you always ask mean questions. He replied.

- Fine, you have to dance a slow with one of the girls here.

All the guys started to laugh and I looked at all the girls. None of them looked thrilled to go dancing; except maybe Ino that did not looked sure at all for another reason. With years of experiences I could tell that she was more worrying about her shoes and the probability that he will step on it than actually go and dance. Without saying a word Itachi grabbed my hand and dragged me off where people were dancing. The music was not slow at all and it made the moment even worst. He came close to me and looked at me in the eyes. He did not look at me with the same cold glare as he did at school. He even was smiling at me. I could feel my cheeks blushing and I could not figure out if it was because of him or the alcohol. Anyway the way he looked at me made me want to know more about him.

- Can I ask you something? I said.

- Sure.

- Why do you seem distant at school? You always stare at people with a cold look in your eyes…

- Can you keep a secret?

- … I can.

He pushed me closer to him and leaned over. He started to whisper in my ear; like if what he was going to say could mean trouble for both of us. With his hand, he pushed back my hair to be sure I'll understand his words. I could feel his breath on my neck and his cheek pressing on mine; making me blush even more.

- We had a bad reputation at our last school, and we have been expulsed. So now we are in probation. We can't really do as we want. That is why we prefer to not get along with people. We don't want to get into trouble again.

- What happened? What have you done to be expulsed?

- I'm not telling you, yet.

The music went down; the song was over so was our discussion. He went back to Hidan and they said good-bye to everyone. As they were leaving I still wonder what they could have done to be expulsed form they school. I did not talk to our conversation to anyone, keeping the secret; even to Ino which was frustrated to have not been picked to dance. The party went on for a few more hours until my friends and I decided to go home. Neji, Tenten and a few others were going to come back in the morning to clean everything up and would inherit the left over as well as the alcohol still untouched. As for me, I would spend my morning sleeping and rethink the all night to make sense of Itachi's words.

Hope you liked it. It was bigger than the other chapters so if you liked it Review it.
