Chapter Seven
There he came, bursting through the door. Mr.Kakashi asks him ,"Where were you," "Lost on the path of life," He retorts. He trudged to the back of the class. No! I need to at least thank you! He eyes me as he passes and I shot him a shy smile. He grinned back. Temari shot me a sneaky glace. "I told you he was nice," She whispered. I guess she's right. A sudden realization, not to say the least. "Okay class, pay attention," Mr.Kakashi said in his usual lazy tone. "Can some one please tell me how you say,'The land of lightning is east of the land of fire'," He drawled on. Pein's hand shot up to the ceiling. "Yes," He said. "La terre de la foudre est à l'est de la terre du feu.," Pein said perfectly, it sounded like he knew how to speak French all his life. Sakura and Ino were snickering to themselves. I didn't like Pein that much but, like they could do any better. "Good job," Mr.Kakashi sighed sarcastically. "Temari, how long has he been speaking french," I asked quietly. "I dunno, I think since he was six...I think," She whispered back. Wow, I wonder where he learned...
French class bored on and Pein kept on answering every single question with ease. He spoke it beautifully, anyone could see that.
"Do you see how speaks..."
"He sounds so weird,"
"I know,"
"Thinks he knows it all,"
They whispered. I wish they'd shut up. Finally, the bell rings and I strut down to the detention hall with Temari and TenTen by my side for moral support. "Girl, you got really bad karma," TenTen sympathized. "Good luck!" Temari says. They walk off and I'm left alone in the empty classroom. Pein must be late, or I'm just early. Yeah, I'm early for sure. He came in slowly and took a seat beside me. Testing your luck are you, now? He shot me a smirk. "Um, I wanted to...thank you for doing what you did," I say trying to not appear shy but completely failing. "It's all right," He smiled. "I'm sorry about..." He cut me off, "It's fine," He said curtly. "Can we start over?" I asked meekly.
He just smirked. "I knew you wanted me," He growled. I hung my mouth open, this guy is just...a piece of work. "Joking!" He chuckled. I couldn't help but laugh as well. "Yes, we can start over," He said. Oddly, I felt relief... Of all things! I should be pissing myself sitting next to him, alone with no supervision! "So, how'd you learn to speak French so well?" I asked. Great, I hate hormones, right now they're doing the fricking mambo. "My father taught me," He said staring into a distant view only he could see. "Why do ask?" He replied bringing his grey orbs to look at me. "Just wondering," I answered. "What electives are you going to take?" He asked dreamily. "Art, music and creative writing," I stated quickly. I was fighting an internal battle with my self. Instinct is telling me to swoon, my rational self is telling me to stop falling in his pit to get me. "Hn, what instrument do you play?" He asked. "Piano and I-I sing," I stutter. He turned swiftly towards me and put his hand on my cheek, "Why the stuttering?" He teased. I softly pushed his hand down from my face. Hard thing to do with half my hormones doing the mambo and the other half doing the rumba.
He got the picture and put his hands on the desk. "I'd like to hear you sometime," He said sweetly. I instinctively nodded. What part of me found this man attractive! I wanted to barf in sheer disgust of myself. He didn't say it out loud, but his eyes seemed to say, "Don't fight it." When will he realize that I don't want him! He shot me another smile, I had to force myself not to melt. "You interest me so much, I want to know more about you," He said seductively. "Really, now?" I teased back. "I wouldn't waste my time if I didn't think so," He snapped playfully. "Sorry, I get nervous around guys from past experiences I had," I whisper quietly. "What happened?" He asked. "Maybe, I'll tell you when you know me a little better," I respond in voice quieter than a whisper. Holding back the tears that wanted to fall remembering my childhood. "Alright," He muttered.
Author's Note: Sorry for the short chapter! It's kind of a filler chapter! Sorry! I will redeem myself next chapter!
