Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.
Sasuke tapped his fingers impatiently on the wooden desk, what the fucking hell was taking the teacher so long? It was already 2:23, and while Sasuke wasn't the best at time management; always being late, he couldn't stand when others kept him waiting. He wanted to get out of here as soon as possible and forget today ever happened.
Glancing around the room, he saw the others either equally as impatient, or doing their own activities. Ino was filing her nails, Sakura did some extra credit, Temari was making what sounded like a beat with her pencil, and Tenten was swinging her feet like a child. Wait- thats not right, there were five girls, one for each boy. Where was his partner? He searched all around the room for her before seeing she was in the back, on the opposite side of where he was. He was actually a little surprised she didn't skip detention to cry at home.
"What's taking so long? I'm missing practice!" Naruto pounded both his fists on the desktop.
Tenten sighed, "Yeah, but practice ends at four, and that's when we get out."
"Will you two be quiet? He'll be here soon." Neji reprimanded, as if he was the one in charge.
But Tenten wasn't having any of that, "I'm older than you, don't tell me what to do."
Before Neji could remark, Temari's voice nearly deafened them all, "And I'm older than allof you, so how 'bout you all shut it."
And nobody talks back to Temari, all the more reason for Shikamaru to shake his head, troublesome.
The swinging of the door opening was music to their ears, finally. In came a gray haired teacher, probably still in his twenties. Mr. Hatake.
"FINALLY!" Naruto screamed.
The teacher's eyes narrowed, fucking kids. "Hello everyone, how about I take attendance and you'll be out of here in no time."
The room was still silent, Kakashi started, "Sakura Haruno?"
"Present." Sakura had her hands folded above her desk, smiling brightly.
"Hinata Hyuuga?" he called.
It took a few seconds for the reply, "H-here.."
"Neji Hyuuga?"
Neji was a lot more confident than his cousin, "Present, sir."
"Kiba Inuzuka?"
"Right here," Kiba waved.
"Tenten Kato?"
"Here."
"Shikamaru Nara?"
He sighed, "Here..sadly."
A few laughs filled the room, before Kakashi called again, "Temari Sabaku?"
"In front of your face."
"Sasuke Uchiha?"
Sasuke nodded.
"Naruto Uzumaki?"
"Over here!"
"Finally Ino Yamanaka?"
"Here." she replied curtly.
Kakashi finished checking off each of their names and put the clipboard away, "Good, now just keep your mouths shut while I go get a something for my head."
Naruto looked Kakashi up and down, he seemed fine. "Why? What's wrong with your head?"
"It hurts from staring at your face." The teachers voice followed by the door closing was the only thing he heard, before the group laughed.
Naruto turned red with fury, "What are you laughing at bastard?" Naruto barely knew Sasuke, sure they went to the same schools and all, but they were in completely different leagues, both popular, but for separate reasons. In fact, he didn't think they even talked.
Sasuke's eyes narrowed, "You, loser."
Leaning back into his seat Naruto grinned, "You're just jealous my partner likes me more than yours does."
Raising an eyebrow, Sasuke prodded, "Prove it."
Naruto turned his head to his partners direction, "Hey Ino babe, we still up for ice cream later?"
"Shut up, idiot." Ino didn't even look up from her nail filing.
Naruto looked slightly crestfallen, while Sasuke shook his head chuckling slightly, "Oh yeah, she wants the dick."
"Whatever, at least Ino has nicknames for me."
"Insults." Sasuke corrected. Though it did fit him nicely, idiot. Or something else dumb, like dobe. Yeah, dobe. "Dobe," he finished smirking.
"Bastard." Naruto returned.
Sakura watched their little charade and teased, "Wow Ino, your boyfriend is already making friends." she smiled.
"You wanna say that a little louder, fivehead?" Ino fumed.
Ino and Sakura may've been friends way back in primary school, but that was before Sakura decided to grow an ego and compete with Ino on everything. Friends, grades, boyfriends, clothes, the two constantly rivaled each other in every subject from then to now; their sophomore year in high school.
How ironic, the one thing Ino helped Sakura get over; her forehead, would be the thing she'd tease her about. Thats low. Sakura turned the other cheek, huffing.
Ino rolled her eyes, Preps. Their groups were often mistaken, the Preps, and the Pops. Not only did they sound the same, they both also got great grades. But there was a complete difference, Pops did whatever they wanted to, whenever, and how. Preps took specific orders. Pops didn't need to worry about a thing, Preps had to struggle on everything they did to be the best. Pops also never did their homework, while Preps bathed themselves in extra credit. Huge difference. They even dressed differently, Pops went with whatever was in style, and Preps were sworn to sweater vests and khaki. Ew.
Kiba laughed, girls were hilarious. Everything was hilarious. He was happy for everyone and thing. Still, he couldn't help but feel a little bummed about not being in the art studio adding the final touches to his latest painting. Maybe Sai would stay a little later and leave at five with him, shit no. He forgot, Sakura and him had to do some bonding. Whatever, she probably just wanted to do homework.
Naruto looked around the room, "So did the teacher really leave?"
"Do you see him anywhere in sight?" Ino sneered.
He looked back at her winking, "Relax princess, I'll take you somewhere nice after this, no need to get hasty."
"Get lost." she growled.
Naruto turned back to his seat, "Feisty," he mused.
"Will you kids shut up? It's only been 3 minutes and you guys are already making noise," Kakashi came in from the door.
"Sorry Mr. Ha-"
"Get out of my classroom."
No one complained, they had gotten out with only a half hour of detention, sweet.
Kakashi's head jerked slightly, "WAIT."
Everyone looked back at him from their way out the door,
"The Principal told me to tell you to spend time with your partners."
Motherfuckingbitchslutcuntsh itwhore. It seemed no matter how much Sasuke swore, he still felt bad. Now he had to spend time with her.
"Come on, we're going to get coffee."
Hinata followed along trembling slightly, Sasuke didn't even look at her as they made their way out of campus. They all watched them leave, amusedly.
"Let's go Ino, you can watch me in football practice." Naruto chained arms. But Ino just stood there, furrowing her brows. "No, ladies first."
Naruto whined, "But Ino! I'm already late to practice! Let's go, please?"
"No we're going to.." she paused to think, "the mall."
"The malls always open, practice will be over soon, just come on please?"
Ino was getting frustrated, "You're paying." she growled.
He didn't know for what, but he didn't care. Ino had agreed, and now they were off to practice.
Neji watched them and scratched the side of his head, "So um, what do you want to do?"
"Watch Naruto practice." Tenten replied, slightly jealous of Ino.
"No."
"Run around the track,"
"No."
"Shoot some hoops."
"No."
What the hell? Did Neji do anything athletic wise? "Would you like to take a walk?" she strained.
"Hm," Neji gave a thoughtful look, "Oh I see, you want me to walk you home."
Tenten almost kicked him, "No," she seethed, "What I'm trying to suggest is that we do something that involves physical activity and maybe we can get to know each other and not fail."
He smiled, he'd walk her home and then he wouldn't have to deal with her until tomorrow. It was a win win situation, judging by her enthusiasm to be with him. "After you," he gestured with his hand. She took the lead, having to slow down for him to catch up.
"Do you want to see my artwork?" Kiba offered, Sakura smiled a bit too brightly, "I'd love to!"
And then there were two.
Neither of them would break eye contact or say the first word, they just continued with their glare off. Until Kakashi bust in through the door and yelled at them, "School is over people, get out!"
They both grudgingly obliged, muttering curses on their way out.
Shikamaru staggered to the stairs, rooftop. Temari figured, what a loser. He'd better not smoke in front of me.
She found herself following him, and almost pushed him off the roof when he offered her a blunt.
"I hope you OD and die."
Shikamaru looked up from rolling his joint, "Weed doesn't kill."
"We'll see.." Temari replied, hopingly. As she watched him light the joint and bring it to his lips she couldn't help but feel a little sorry for him.
"What's a kid like you doing getting high?"
He blew the smoke out of his mouth, "Easing my nerves from people like you."
Whatever, she tried. "Bye." while she was getting up though, he grabbed hold of her arm and dropped the blunt out of his mouth, stepping on it a little regretfully.
"Wait," he breathed, "Don't you want to show me what you like to do?"
Temari smirked, "Sure,"
She made her way down the stairs and looked back at him, "But don't complain about it being too loud."
Shikamaru shook his head out of mirth, troublesome.
He could've sworn he was deaf. The moment Temari had plugged in her amp his mind just went blank, this was extremely uncomfortable, yet at the same time, soothing. He liked lightheadedness, this was actually better than getting high.
"You think that's loud?" Temari screamed over the bass. "Wait until I play the G-string!"
He couldn't help but snicker, G-string.
He suddenly felt a sharp pain on the side of his head, "Real mature, loser." Temari scoffed.
If Ino had known what it was like watching Naruto practice football in a windy field with a bunch of sweaty guys, she would've never agreed. She cursed herself for not realizing what it meant. She had been there for and hour and was contemplating leaving.
"Naruto!" she called.
He was aiming the ball when she had screamed his name, throwing it off to Lee, he made his way to her, "Yes?"
"I want to leave." she crossed her arms. Naruto's eyes widened, "But we justgot here!"
"It's been an hour," Ino reminded, "And we're not even talking, this isn't helping us."
He looked at her, back at the game, and brightened, "Hey Coach Gai!"
"YES MY YOUTHFUL RECEIVER?"
"Is it okay if Ino plays?"
Ino spazzed, "Wait what? No! I don-"
"THAT WOULD BE MOST MARVELOUS, COME YOUTHFUL SPIRIT, PRACTICE OUR JOYOUS WAYS OF LIFE!"
Naruto signaled for his teammate to pass him a spare football, "Come on, I'll show you how to throw."
"I know how to throw a ball." Ino mumbled.
"Okay, so basically you pull your hand back and swing your elbow, not your entire arm-
Ino snatched the ball out of his hands, "I know how to throw." she grouched.
Naruto nodded, before backing up a few feet and waiting for the ball.
Okay, this is simple. Just tilt your hand back and throw the ball at a ninety degree angle. No problem. She breathed a little before swinging the ball towards her partner. Naruto watched as the ball went out of her hands, and to the other side of the field. Only when he heard their laughing had he noticed the others were watching.
Ino was red in the face, they were laughing at her, she had just made a fool of herself in front of the entire football team, and it was all his fault. She turned on her heel and began to stomp out of the football field. Only hearing brief footsteps following her, she was suddenly overcome by a wave of vertigo. Blinking twice before she noticed she was upside down, over Naruto's shoulder.
"Oh no you don't." He began to walk back to the field. Ino felt a throbbing in her head with each step he took. "Put me down!" she fought.
"Relax Ino, so you missed. Big deal."
She huffed, "All of you laughed at me."
Naruto put her down, "Ididn't. Now wait here." Ino hated being told what to do.
He went to go whisper something to the coach and when he came back with a smile on his face Ino just had to ask, "What are you smiling at?"
Naruto swung her over his shoulder again, this was so much fun. Ino was really small compared to him. "Coach gave me the rest of practice off, so we can go to the mall and do whatever you want to."
She was about to protest until she heard mall. "Um, I can walk you know?"
"Sorry," he put her down. "Wait for me in the parking lot, I have to change." Ino nodded and left the fields.
"Yo Uzumaki, what's your girlfriend's name?" A teammate of his asked.
Naruto looked back at them and shook his head, "She's not my girlfriend."
He watched her ass as she walked away and smirked..yet.
Ino was rather surprised, Naruto's car was actually..clean. Not neat, but she had at least expected cups and empty soda cans. And it smelled nice too. How could a slob like Naruto have a car like this? She decided to voice her questions.
"Naruto, is this really your car?"
He looked away from the road momentarily, furrowing his brows he replied, "Yeah? My dad bought it for me when I turned sixteen last October."
Then it hit her, of course. Naruto was the mayor's son, he probably had his car cleaned every week, he was rich. Ino kept her mouth closed.
Naruto noticed the sudden change in mood, and thought music would ease her up. He switched on the radio, "Do you like this song?"
Ino looked at him, Whistle by Flo Rida? Really?
"This songs about oral sex," she sighed.
"Aren't you..into that?" he asked as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.
She was red in the face again, out of embarrassment and fury. "Stop the car."
Eyes widening he gasped, "What? Why?"
"I SAID STOP THE CAR!"
She didn't have to yell, he pushed the brakes and Ino got out of the car. Naruto ended up following her, cursing himself for being a stupid.
Naruto rolled down the windows, "Um, are you mad?"
Ino wouldn't give him the time of day, she kept glaring straight towards her, marching on.
"Ino, I'm sorry it wa-"
"Shut up and leave." she still wouldn't look at him.
He looked around, "Don't be like that, its getting late and I can't leave you here alone."
She gave him the finger and started running. Fuck. Right when he thought they were getting close. Naruto turned the corner and went home.
Hinata stared at her empty mug, not daring to look up to the Uchiha's glare. Why did he hate her? That was a stupid question, their families were rivals. Bitter rivals. They hadn't said a word to each other since they left the school. Sasuke watched her. Was she afraid of him? Fucking good. He liked it better when people didn't talk, or weren't there altogether.
The waiter came and collected their empty cups, leaving the bill.
Hinata saw it and quickly pulled out her wallet, got a ten and just when she was about to give it to their waiter, Sasuke shoved her hand out of the way, leaving his card with the waiter.
Hinata finally looked at him, and opened her mouth when Sasuke interjected,
"Don't be ugly."
The waiter left momentarily, holding his mouth trying to stifle the laughs. Not that Hinata noticed, she gaped, Sasuke had just humiliated her and paid. She didn't know whether to be embarrassed or thankful.
"S-Sa-"
"Shut up." he got up and left towards the door. She quickly followed, she didn't even know where this place was, she couldn't just walk home.
Sasuke was already in his car, turning the ignition on. When she appeared outside his door. Rolling the window down, he shrugged, "You're rich, get your own ride." And with that he left a very scared, insulted, and near tears Hyuuga alone in the entrance of a cafe. She was literally about to run away when Sasuke came back, unlocking the doors.
Hinata rushed to get in, muttering a soft thank you.
"Tell me, do you not know how to drive?"
Hinata didn't respond, not out of rudeness, she was still trying to calm herself down from crying.
"Hm?"
Still nothing. And Sasuke Uchiha wasn't a patient man.
"Hinata!" he snapped, stomping the breaks and almost having her fly out the windshield had she not had her seatbelt on. She screeched, and then breathed heavily, looking at him with wide, wet eyes.
"I said," he tightened, "Do you not know how to drive?"
Hinata breathing was still off, but she feared a neck injury if she didn't answer him quickly this time. "N-no, my f-father ins-sists I t-take a personal dr-driver t-to and f-rom school."
Sasuke rolled his eyes, tch pampered bitch.
Tenten was getting frustrated, not only did Neji not say a word, but he walked extremely slow, so she had to slow her pace.
"Do you do anythingfor fun?" Neji was such a boring person.
He took his gaze off his shoes for once, "What?"
She seethed, he heard her. He understood what she was saying. He was just a dick, and liked it when she was provoked.
"Do you know what fun is, Neji?" she stopped walking.
Neji looked down at her, "Fun. Isn't that a band?"
It was official, Neji was hopeless. And stupid.
"No, Neji." Her teeth clenched, "Fun is doing stuff for the sake of laughs and joy. Nota band."
This was foreign to Neji, "Like what?"
She looked at the sprinklers behind him and smiled, "Like this." she pushed him backwards and laughed once she saw his hair and clothes immediately get soaked. Tenten threw herself on top of him and rolled into the wet grass.
"Get off." Neji growled.
She frowned, "But this is fuuuuuun." she whined.
Neji's face scrunched, "We look like dogs."
"So? Dogs are cute." she giggled.
"Tenten." He pulled her off of him, "Don't do that again."
She stuck her tongue out while he fixed his clothes, "Schools over, you don't have to worry about your clothes getting dirty."
He scowled at her "Just because you're not in public doesn't give you an excuse to be a mess, and we are in public. So yes, I dohave to worry about getting my clothes dirty." he mocked.
Tenten rolled her eyes, "You're such a girl."
"And you'resuch a guy."
"These dogs are so cute," Sakura mused, touching the surface of the painting.
Kiba noticed she paid an awful amount of attention to his paintings on Akamaru, "Do you like dogs?"
She smiled and nodded.
"Do you have any dogs?"
"Well I have a puppy, but it stays small and cute. Not huge like yours." She eyed Akamaru's picture again.
"Really?" Kiba asked, "What breed is he?"
"She.A teacup maltese." Sakura beamed.
Why was he not surprised, of course Sakura would have a white fluffy puppy, that was female. She probably dressed her in bows and other clothes, and dyed her fur pink too.
"Well, we should get to the library, I've got this project due on Friday." She smoothed her skirt.
Kiba almost forgot, she was a Prep. And all they wanted to do was homework and extra credit, boring. He was in for a long day in the library, joy.
