Disclaimer: Naruto belongs to Masashi-sensei


The next day, at school, I was still littered with burning scorn and no one but my three childhood buddies would speak to me. I had tried to call Hinata the night before but Sakura answered instead.

"What the hell are you doing with Hinata's phone!" I shouted at her.

"What the hell are you doing calling?" she retorted.

"Just let me talk to her."

"Sure, hold on a sec."

"Listen bitch, I said LET ME-huh? Oh- okay."

...(elapse 30mins)

"Hello?"

"Hinata?"

"No fucking way! You're stillthere? You're pathetic Uzumaki!"

"SAKURA! DIE SLOWLY BITCH! DIE SLOWLY!"

"Naruto, how many times have I told you not to speak to your granny Tsunade like that!" (Dad downstairs).

"Ha Ha Ha! Whatever dumbass, after you.*click*"

"ARGH!"

Yeah, so that went well, kind of.

Anyway, at school the next day and I get to my locker quite safely considering the fact that I continuously felt like my life was being threatened at every angle. As I was unlocking my locker I noted a weak scent in the air, it was just a whiff but it was so pungently awful I scowled and itched my burning nose. It was like a mixture of decade old blue cheese and sweetly rotten fruit, and maybe a little puke.

Some one must have left their lunch in their locker, I dismissed it as the lock clicked, I opened the locker and tensed when a large cup toppled out spilling something out of the Devil's old refrigerator all over my neck and the front of my uniform.

"GAH!" I cried out, "OH MY GOD! WHAT THE- WHAT IS THIS!"

My hands were held in the air as I looked down at my self, getting full waves of the scent that was now so strong it made my eyes water, I didn't even want to touch it. I shuddered from the cold and slimy feel of the liquid as it seeped through my shirt.

I suddenly heard laughing behind me and I spun around. It was Kankuro, the two faced bitches and some others.

"It's old yogurt." Kankuro told me with a pleased grin.

"Yogurt?" I said.

"And a few other stuff." he added.

"Oh God, I - I think it burns." I said looking down at my dripping uniform, and they all just laughed, then the bell rang in the background.

I glared up at Kankuro and started to move forward planning to kick his big- "What's going on here?"

We all looked up to find the owner of the harsh voice, Ibiki-sensei, the dean. The hovering man of threatening build and coldly intimidating features looked us all over. Ibiki-sensei is kind of scary so it took us all a couple of seconds to recover from the shock of his sudden appearance. Unfortunately Kankuro was first.

"Naruto forgot his lunch in his locker again and it spilled all over him." he lied and I turned to him shocked and wide eyed.

"That's not true-"

"Uzumaki!" Ibiki-sensei cut in shooting me a look that reeked of danger.

"All of you get to class, Uzumaki you come with me, I'll hose you down."

Ten minutes later: me in the back of the school being pummeled with a heavy spray of water by the grumpy dean who wouldn't step within ten feet of me from fear of passing out due to my new cologne. I threw my uniform away and got a new change of clothes from the lost and found, but you could still smell me coming! By the time I got to fifth period biology I was planning Kankuro's untimely death.

"Geez!" I heard Kiba say when I sat behind him like I usually do for this class. "What's that smell?"

Sakura chuckled. "It's Naruto." she said, I shot her a death glare and she giggled and blew me a kiss. I dodged it like a bullet!

"Naruto, what happened to you?" Gaara asked with a crinkled brow showing his disgust for the smell.

"Them happened to me." I growled and then explained what happened this morning.

"How troublesome." Shikamaru told me, "Why didn't you just go home?"

I looked at him like he was crazy, "And make them think they've won? Hell no!"

"But do I really smell that bad?" I asked them worried about how my scent might affect my friends, they could tell that was on my mind and they all pulled the disgusted looks off of their faces.

"I guess I could ignore it." Shikamaru told me.

"I've smelt worst." Gaara said and he opened his biology text and started reading as he wiped the tears out of his eyes.

"It's not that bad." Kiba smiled widely then suddenly jumped and covered his mouth as he gagged. They weren't the only ones, everyone else in the class was either glaring at me or holding their noses.

Soon Orochimaru-sensei came in and everyone settled down, no one said a word as the sickly pale and long haired man walked up to the front of the class. When I first started at this school I used to be terrified of the guy, I mean he has the aura of some type of venomous snake, but now I know that he's just weird, nothing to be afraid of really, just don't look him in the eye, no sudden movements during class and never approach him by yourself.

"Good day class." he said as his savoring eyes looked over all of us, "Today we'll be on the topic of reptiles, and specifically on snakes-"

"We've been on snakes for two monthsnow." Kiba groaned so that only I could hear and I chuckled, "When are we going to move on?"

"He did that last term too, the guys obsessed." Shikamaru said also.

"Last class we were talking about snakes, and all reptiles in fact, inability to learn because of their lack of the enlarged Cerebral Hemispheresfound in all mamm-" Orochimaru sensei, who had been slowly walking down the rows of seats, stopped a few seat away from me and sniffed the air. "What is that smell?" he asked to himself and I paled as Sakura and Ino began stifling their giggles.

I put my head down as I waited for him to follow his nose down to my seat and when I looked up again I jumped because the guy's face was inches from mine, and if I thought he was weird looking before...

Small chuckles started erupting now as he stared at me up close and I shivered then asked him carefully, "Erm- something wrong?"

Orochimaru-sensei didn't answer, instead he flicked his abnormally long tongue out at me a couple of times making me back away in my seat and shuddered. "Uzumaki."

Orochimaru-sensei made me place my desk just out side the open door of the room so that I could watch his class from there without disturbing anyone. It was very embarrassing especially when other teachers and students passing down the hall pointed or stared. But I will not go home I say! THEY WON'T WIN!

When biology was over I waited for my friends outside the door. The two faced bitches came out and when they saw me leaning on the wall they started to laugh again, I glared back and stuck my tongue out at them as they passed.

"What are you doing?" I heard and I turned around to see Gaara watching me with that bored 'I'm asking but I don't really want to know' look on his face again, and Shikamaru shaking his head besides him.

"Nothing. Where's Kiba?" I asked after I pulled my tongue back in.

"He was right behind us a moment ago." Shikamaru answered but then mentioned boy walked out of the class with another boy next to him. It was some guy named Shino, another weirdo, I didn't know Shino existed until last term's chemistry finals when my pen ran out of ink and he appeared out of nowhere and offered me his, apparently he's even been in the same class as me since elementary school and I didn't even notice. How could I? The guy never talks! He dressing strange too, he always has the collar of his shirt up hiding half his face and he wears dark tinted glasses. He and Kiba were talking and as they stopped in front of the door we could hear their conversation.

"That's great." Kiba said with an awkward smile on his lips and I wondered why he was talking to Shino if he obviously didn't want to.

"I think Shino is bothering Kiba." I said and Shikamaru shook his head.

"Actually it's the other way around." he said and I noticed that my dog loving friend was now tugging his hair from the back, I knew Kiba long enough to recognise all of his nervous gestures.

"Sooo, what did you do all summer?" Kiba asked they guy who was staring at him blankly, well any face would look blank behind those glasses.

Shino leaned back a bit as he rest his hands in the pockets of his pants and I noticed Kiba's eyes flash quickly looking down then up the guy's body then to his face again, but I paid no attention to that. " I went to Oxfordshire, England with my dad to hunt for Mole Crickets."

Kiba cocked a brow, as did the rest of us, "M-Mole Crickets?" he asked.

"They're a rare species of crickets native to Europe, they were thought to be extinct but my great uncle found some in his back yard compost. We needed to discern if it's the actual UK Mole Cricket or some other immigrant species from another part of Europe. That happens allot, like last year I thought I'd discovered a new species of African Stinging Fly when I went to Nigeria to take pictures of Dung Beatles for National Geographic with my mother, but it turned out that it was just a cousin species from Egypt."

Kiba sweatdropped, "Wow, sounds really interesting."

"It is."

"You get to travel allot don't you?"

"I do."

"..."

"But it's for scientific purposes of course." Shino added.

"You don't go just to have fun?" Kiba asked him and Shino was silent for about five very tense seconds.

"Bug hunting is fun." he finally said and then followed a long pause in the conversation that eventually lead to the dreaded awkward silence and Kiba looked so uncomfortable and desperate I would of laughed at him if the situation before me wasn't so pathetic. I didn't get it, why was he talking to this weird guy any way?

"Um- well." he finally spoke up to the boy who didn't seem to notice the strange turned down in their talking, but Kiba suddenly looked hopeful, he smiled and gained more confidence as he looked back up at Shino, "I have a swimming meet a few weeks from now, I don't know if you're into that but- you can come if you like?"

Shino seemed to be mulling it over then he said, "I'll come." and Kiba looked surprised.

"Really?- uh, okay." he smiled, "Well, maybe after we could hang out or something."

"Why not, I don't mind being around people who notice me." the other guy said and his head turned slowly so that his covered eyes were on me.

"You're still sulking about that!" I told him, "I said I was sorry! And I know who you are now don't I?"

"I'll see ya later Shino." Kiba cut in and he left with us.

"Why are you always trying to befriend that guy?" Shikamaru asked him as we headed for our next class.

"Yeah, he's so weird. All he ever talks about are bugs." I added as I shivered from the thought.

Kiba just shrugged his shoulders, "That's true, but besides all that he's seems like a really nice, sensitive guy."

"Maybe." I said then I realised that Shikamaru was walking away from us, "Where are you going?"

"Advanced math. Remember, I have math same time you guys have English."

"Oh right." I told him, then I remembered the folded peice of paper I had folded in my English note book, and my shoulders fell, "Oh- right."

Kiba chuckled, "Did you write the apology?" Gaara asked me. And I felt my pores raise along with my burning anger as I remembered how late I stayed up last night writing SIX HUNDRED MOTHER F-ING WORDS! of that stupid apology. I felt like kicking something again.

"Yes, I did." I bit between my teeth.

"Hn." Gaara said.

"What?" I asked him, he had his head turned down and he looked slightly contemplative.

"I have a bad feeling about this guy." ? Bad feeling? "But I guess we'll just have too see, he's our next class."

Yeah, I know.
