School life was decent for now.
Well, I can't really say that since I've only had a look at the schedule. Luckily for me, I only had one class with that PMS boy and that was PE. I was to see that green-clad disaster for PE and Geometry, though. Isn't that a joy.
Surprisingly, that kid was a sophomore like PMS. Bushy-brow, Lee, Rock, Broccoli, whatever that kid's name was, it evades me.
Anyways. Back to school. As far as I was concerned, we had those 2-day schedule-type things. Day A, Day B, whatever people like calling it. For me, Day A had PE, Health, Art and English. Day B was Music, Geometry, History and Biology. Yay. And lunch was thrown somewhere in between there. When was my free period again?
Oh yeah- I was somehow signed up for too many electives. Not my fault.
At least homeroom was filled with freshmen and only freshmen. We kept the same homeroom for both days, and throughout all four years at the school. I hope that there's no one I hate in the class.
But that's beside the point here.
So yeah, today's the first day of School. Yay.
PMS had his alarm set dangerously early- almost immediately he trudged off to the showers. Since I showered last night before I slept, I was fine. I changed before climbing down the ladder- yeah I had the top bunk. Whoopee.
That left me with at least an hour before class started. What better time than to wander the school?
-:-:-:-:-
Man, this school was big. Like, seriously. There were separate buildings for the sciences, the physical education and art. Well, art counts both music and else wise, so it was a pretty large building.
No wonder we got 10-minute passing periods. I doubt some kids could make it if their classes were all the way across the school- which I hoped none of mines were. I double-checked, map and schedule in hand- they weren't. Yay.
Apparently I was still pretty early, if one were to judge by the amount of students strolling the hallways. There was me… and one other kid. Aren't we such morning people?
Wait, no wonder. I realized that the PMS-boy-wonder set his alarm two hours early. Probably to take care of that luscious hair. Hm, I had seen stuff like conditioner and Dove shampoo… Seems very likely to me.
Yay, two hours! (sarcasm, my dear friends, is my best friend)
By the time I visited all of my classes so that I would memorize the route, I still had an hour to go. Might as well go pick up some breakfast from the cafeteria- I could hear my stomach calling my name.
And yes, he knows my name. But he likes calling me Sammich Lady. Cruel child. I don't even like sammiches.
By now, the more of the sensible children had gotten up, and tired children wandered into the mess hall. Let's ignore the fact that over half these children are older than me and get on with our lives.
I got the tray filled with decent looking food and surveyed the area, wondering where to sit.
"Good morning, Haru-san!" an overly bright and cheery greed-clad wonder said, calling me from where he was sitting with some of his friends. He waved me over with a bandaged hand, and I sat in the empty seat next to him.
"Good mornin', Lee-san"
"How was your first morning in the dorms?" he asked, much too cheery for my tastes.
"Fine, except P-I mean, Neji-san has his alarm on too early."
"Oh yes, the spirit of youth encourages him to wake up early!" Lee said, once again going on and on about the 'spirit of youth' and whatnot.
"Sorry 'bout Lee," a brunette across the table says. Hey, there are people with normal hair color! She had brown hair and brown eyes, normal and whatnot. "He's always like that" she offers a half smile as an apology. I smile back.
"I've noticed."
"You're a freshman, right?"
"Yeah"
"I'm Tenten"
"My name's Haru" I said, unsure whether to give a last name or anything. Was her name Ten Ten or Tenten or Ten-Ten… it confused me, so I'll just leave it as is in my head.
"OMG SAKURA LOOK" a blonde said, her voice annoyingly high-pitched. She was talking to her pink-haired friend, and was failing if she was trying to whisper.
"OH HE'S SO CUTE" the pink head replied. I think I'll name her Pinky.
"BUT SASUKE-KUN'S WAY CUTER" and the blonde's gonna be Blondie. Oh, I'm so original with these names, aren't I?
"OF COURSE, but HE'S STILL PRETTY CUTE" both girls giggled girlishly.
"Are you talking about me?" Lee turned to the girls and asked, wiggling those caterpillar eyes of his. As he stared on, I noticed his face developing quite the blush. Was Lee in love? Awwww…
"Ew" Pinky replied, dodging those kisses he sent flying her way. "Who'd ever say that about you?" The green-clad wonder turns blue with sadness, wilting away in his emo-corner. I frown.
"We're talking about your purple-haired friend sitting next to you" Blondie says, winking at me. I have to try not to gag.
Forget it. I gag, spitting out whatever I was eating at the time.
"Please refrain from disgusting me like that again" I say, sending a glare towards the two. They gasp, as if unbelieving what I just said. People like them just disgust me. I hope that they've the sense to disappear while I returned to my food.
"He's still kinda cute" one of them whispered. I could still hear them, though I haven't the fondness to discern them by voice. I sighed for what seemed like the umpteenth time that morning.
I hear footsteps and I assume that they've wandered away.
"Seems like you have your own set of fangirls" Tenten said. I nod absentmindedly, not paying attention until she suddenly beams up and smiles.
"Oi~!" she waves her arms wildly, presumably at her friend. "Neji-kun~!" I twitch at the mention of PMS-boy's name. He gives a grunt as a reply, taking the empty seat next to her. He has yet to open his eyes, though.
Oh wait, I spoke to soon. He opens them all right, staring right at me.
"What's a freshman doing here?"
"What do you mean by that, Neji-kun?" Lee asks, apparently finished with all of his food.
"It's a freshman" he repeats, staring at me.
"Is he awake yet?" I ask Lee, pointing at PMS boy.
"No, he doesn't wake up for a while…" Tenten trails off, slightly happier than she was before.
Well, well, well. I'll be darned. Two of my new friends in love! Ha!
And while I was caught up with my evil matchmaking thoughts I failed to sense the presence behind me.
"Haru?"
Ah, that can't be good.
