CHAPTER 12
Sixth Grade, Age 12
Shikamaru POV
Tayuya joined band. She plays the flute. Of course.
And started hanging out with these seven graders. I don't nothing about them personally. But I heard they're bad kids. They seemed nice when they're around Tayuya. However, this one guy, that have short silver white hair with a loose side tube tied a couple of stings of his hair, keeps close to Tayuya. Every lunch time, he sits with her and the two chat nonstop during the entire break.
"Lazy Butt!" I turned around to see Tayuya walking up to me with waving hands and a huge smile on her face. The white uniform shirt hiked up revealing her white skin. I turned away from her to slam my locker.
"Hey?!" She shouted for attention. I screw my fingered in my aching eardrums. I growled.
"I'm not death, woman."
"Then next time, respond." A tug of her lower eye lid and pulling out her pink tongue made me laugh. She looks like an idiot. I hid the grin on my face. She sighed. She grabbed my hand, leading me to our third period.
"Yo, Bae!" Tayuya stopped her pace to the class room. Tayuya smiled even brighter. She ran up to the silver haired guy. In open arms, she hugged the tall kid. He patted her head like he's petting a puppy.
"Kimimaru!" She squealed. Eww.
I realized how he wrapped his arm around her. Her lips smiled from cheek to cheek. He gazed in her eye until he ripped them away from her to glare at me. I stared at him blankly.
What's with the smug look on his face?
"Who's he?" He asked. Tayuya turned around to eye me.
"He's my friend."
I left when she said that. I slide open the door and closed it behind me. I sat in a seat next to Naruto. He was bickering about how cute Sakura has gotten. Then Kiba mentioned Ino. They kissed after school yesterday. I guess they're dating. I wonder where Choji is.

The sky decided to let out cold winds and sink down fluffy snow. I pulled up my scarf over my nose. It was freezing out here. My stiffed fingers and trembling lips said it all.
"I hate you!" A girl shouted. Not just any girl. Tayuya. A harsh contact on the cheek twisted the guy's face. She ran out of the park and off to, where I believe she's heading, home. The guy walked off the opposite way.
On my way home I saw Tayuya curled up with her head on her knees. I thought if I keep on walking would be a good idea, but my conscious go to me hard. So I went to sit down next to her on the bench. She shivered when she felt my presence. When she looked up at me, I didn't know what to say. She never looked at me like that.
I guess the cold caught my breathe.
She cried on my shoulder. I let her do it.
Minutes later that seemed like hours, we walked home together. Felt like years. We haven't walk together in months. I guess she enjoyed my company. She held my hand. I didn't shrug her way. She complained about how I'm lacking and need to play outside more. I laughed in her face. Never going to happen. It's cold. She asked me stupid questions. I didn't answer them since the questions were stupid. She smacked my chest. Then blushed and turned away.
"Sorry." I didn't understand why she apologized. I let it slide though.
When we made it home, she came over to my room and practiced playing her flute. Then we did homework together. Played video games. Ate snacks. And...
"We broke up."
So. I wish I could just say that.
"He was going out with this high school girl."
And.
"I don't want to date anyone again." She felt embarrassed. Her cheeks matched her hair.
"There's others out there." I can't believe I gain my voice back. I'm such an idiot.
"I guess..."
I noticed something about her.
She gotten a bit curvy.
