Falling Rain

Chapter 5

I came to school all happy, there's always a first right! Anyway Gaara thought something was with me and Shikamaru thought I was on something. As for Haku well he didn't know what to think. I gave them a sign to follow me to Iruka sensei's call room where I can talk to them.

"What's up?" Shikamaru asked

"just the most wonderful thing that's ever happened to me, that's what's up!" I smiled

"Ok…like what?"

"Well ya know that guy named Neji, well he's giving me a chance to become popular so I can gat with Sas…I mean Sakura! Isn't that so totally awesome?"

"Neji…as in Neji Hyuga?" Gaara didn't seem so happy about it. Uh, I wonder why.

"Yeah what other Neji would there b…."

"You are the biggest dumbass I've ever meet! Hyuga doesn't help people LIKE US NARUTO! He's probley setting you up." Gaara interrupted.

"WHAT? Ok hold up I thought you're my friend Gaara. Your supposed to be happy for me!"

"He is your friend idiot. We all are but he's telling you the truth. Wither you want to believe or not!" Shikamaru added

"Look we're just trying to help you Naru…" I cut Haku off

"WHAT THE FUCK! You guys are supposed to support me not down me. Besides Neji cant be all that bad you guys. And even if he is why me of all people? Answer that!" I yelled

That got 'em. Still I cant believe these guys . here I am telling them that my dreams are about to come true and what do they have to say about it? "He's not helping yo he's plating you Naruto!"

What makes them such damn experts on Hyuga anyway? Well when they see me with…ok so they wont see me with Sakura but when they see me with Sasuke then they'll see, you just wait.

We went through half the day without talking till lunch came. At least Kiba's been laying off me for two whole days now. But that's old news. The news now was the fact my friends weren't over this Neji helping me thing.

"Oh come on guys. Lighten up! Your crapping my mood!"

"When are you meeting him?" Gaara asked

"Um around 6:30-7:00 why?"

"Just curious."

"Oh, ok!"

And that's we said at lunch. We've never had a fight like this. After lunch was Bio. It seems yesterdays frog ascendant didn't do anything. Because today we're doing some kind of lab with weird chemicals that Orochimaru sensei said that if it spills on our skin it'll burn through it. There was one bottle with green liquid in it and it had a picture of a skeleton, ok weird!

I grabbed a purple bottle and the green one and guess what happened? I bumped into Sasuke and….BAM! I dropped the bottles. The two liquids created a ugly color then made a big thing of smoke. That covered the whole room.

The rest of that class got canceled. Then I headed to gym. The last and final period of the day (Yes)! Today's game…once again…dodge ball. Today I was the first to get hit. I wanted to I wasn't in the mood to play. I kept thinking about what Gaara had said.

What if he was right and I'm wrong? What if something bad happens? What if this doesn't work? What if Neji isn't interested in helping me? What if I never get with Sasuke? A whole list of "what if's." I thought this all over till finally the bell rang.

I raced out of gym and ran as fast as I could to the parking lot. 3:15, only a couple more hours to go. So I drove to around places like, McDonald and some other places. I ordered me a large ice-tea and sat in my car drinking it until my watch started beeping. Time to go.

So I drove to Swift Ally where he told me to meet him. I waited at least an hour. And by then it was 7:30 , night time. The street lamp came on and lit up the street. Minutes were ticking by so fast I wondered if he was even going to show.

I was about to leave when I heard someone coming. "Well its about time." I told myself . I was about to say something to Hyuga. But the figure that was now about a foot or so away wasn't him at all. He laughed and kept moving forward. It was until then that I was able to see who it was. INUZUKA?
