Chapter 3 - Oral Report
By JUUBI
"I give up."
"You can't."
"I give up."
"Aw, we all have to do this!"
"I give up."
"No, I'm not doing this on my own."
"And I just gave up."
"NO!"
It has been a few months since Naruto and Kiba stared at their new school. They have become friends quite quickly.
Naruto had got Kiba to stop muttering his sentences quite easily. They had become a great pair, Naruto the lazy genius and Kiba the hyperactive and funny dumbo.
Right now they were doing a project for their writing class. Their project was to choose a feeling, an emotion and they had to write something on it. Naruto had been partnered up with Kiba and the dog-boy was crazy enough to choose the thing he thought was easiest, love.
Love
Love
Love
What kind of guy would just choose love? There were millions of definitions of live in the world, in every single language.
Wo ai ni
Aishiteiru
Je t'adore
I love you
Etc.
Everyone has their own definition of love!
Naruto glared at the piece of paper. He knew that if he didn't get at least a B for this project, Iruka would probably snap his laptop in two and Kakashi would laugh at him until some one reminds him that he was the one that brought the laptop.
He looked up at the ceiling, tuning out Kiba's annoying whining and the other annoying sounds that were in the classroom.
He didn't bother with the writing task since he knew Kiba would finish it.
Naruto thought back to his first few days at this school. He was pretty surprised that Pinky had not made his life a living hell. She probably realized that if she told everyone the stuff he said to her, the people that were against her will make him join or something like that. Naruto didn't know that bitches could be smart too.
"Come on! You have to help!" Kiba's whiny voice snapped him out of his thoughts.
"Love is…chance."
Kiba gave him a blank stare.
Blink
"Explanation please, I don't understand."
Naruto groaned. He didn't want to explain it.
"Love is a chance, an option. Love gives you a chance to either ignore it or grab it and try. Love is different from a crush, a crush can be ignored until it goes away, but if you try to ignore love, it will hurt you.
Love gives you a chance to be with some one, you can be alone but you can try and love. If it works then you will have some one to lean on, some one who will help you through tough times, but you can ignore it, be by yourself if you want." Naruto explained in a monotone, still staring at the ceiling.
He glanced down, looking at Kiba. Dog-boy was scribbling down the stuff he just said, tongue sticking out the side of his mouth, looking busy. Naruto sighed. This was boring.
"WHOO HOO! Yeah! We finished! Let's go! Sensei! Sensei! We finished!" Kiba screamed in his ear causing him to fall of his chair. Naruto sighed, still on the floor.
"Thank you everyone! Please hand in your work if you haven't! The bell will ring soon so please pack up."
RING
"Love? Oh man, this will take time."
"Well this sucks."
Next day
"ALRIGHT EVERYONE, ORAL REPORTS ARE DUE, LET'S BEING!"
Naruto stared out the window, habit. He didn't even bother listening to the other speeches; it had nothing to do with him so he didn't bother. The clouds floated, changing shapes quickly, the usual blue sky was now a grey-blue colour. It was going to rain soon.
"Uzumaki Naruto." The teacher called out, having finished criticizing another kid for doing a bad job of preparing.
Naruto slowly got up from his seat, the usual bored look on his face. The teacher sighed at him.
"Uzumaki, I'm going to have to tell your-"
"I've done it." Naruto cut her off.
The teacher had a look of disbelief on her face.
"Alright Uzumaki, but if I find out that you're making this up on the spot, I will tell your parents anyway." Naruto rolled his eyes before turning around to face the class.
"What the heck is love?" His voice was slow, not completely monotone but not full of expression.
"Love has been a topic that many people have debated. What is the definition of love? Wise philosophers, writers, poets, normal bored people, none of them have succeeded in providing an answer to the question." Naruto pretty much knew he speech off by heart since he had a really good memory.
"Different people have different options of love, I understand that. Teenagers, adults, many, many different people have their thoughts on love." He looked up at the ceiling, habit.
"To some people, love is when they get showered with expensive gifts. But, gifts are this made by machines other things. They can all be taken away, thrown away. I'm not saying that if you like somebody don't give them gifts, I'm saying that giving people gifts and saying I love you so much that's why I give you things, is not truly love. I'm sure all of you people know that." Naruto glanced around the room, he was a little surprised when he saw everyone paying attention to him.
"Some people think that standing to the side and watching the person you like live their live without you, is love. That is wrong too. You have to be rejected first. Go to them; tell them, but only when you are ready and sure. Standing to the side thinking that you don't have a chance before you even try, is useless. I might be a little hypocritical on this one since I don't usually try at all, but love is a little different to homework and cleaning, just a little." Naruto was getting a little freaked out by the stares of the people but he continued, they were just eyes anyway.
"Is a strong attraction to some one love? Isn't attraction usually just in the looks? Get to know the person before you judge. Some people might be beautiful or cute but in their personality and attitude might be very, well, unattractive. Some people might be deformed or maybe different to some people, for example overweight or short, but they might be an understanding and nice person. Remember, God wasn't exactly paying attention when he made us, spreading out the perfection unevenly, he was probably half asleep. Not everyone is perfect; we have all heard that before, and it's true." The people were probably confused, since Naruto doesn't usually do his work so this was the first time he had done one of his oral reports. Naruto though that anyway, he ignored the people, going back to his speech.
"I'm not completely saying those people were wrong on their definition of love, I'm just telling you the parts of their definition that is wrong."
"I think…
Love is when you are willing to give up.
Everything
Absolutely Everything
Your money
Your power
Your pride
Your family
Your life
Your Everything" There wasn't even a click of a pen. Naruto thought everyone had stopped breathing.
"If you are wiling to give the person everything you have, be there for them for every trip and fall they make, never asking them for anything in return, that is what I think is love."
"You might think that if you give people your love they will give it back, but, there are some people who will not be able to do that, some people might be clueless enough to not care. The person you love and care about can be good or evil; it's not completely your choice who you love. You can hate the person because you love them so much you cannot stop."
"I don't believe that love can get though anything, any problems, everything. Greed, power, money can stop love easily, but we control what we want do we? We can love almost who ever we want, but I know some thing do get in our way. Love some deeply and you love might be able to get you through everything, power, greed, money and even death. You can love somebody as long as you want to; you can hate them as long as you want to. After all, this part is your choice."
"Of course everyone has their own options. This is my option.
This is what love is to me.
What the heck is love to you?" Naruto glanced around the room once more before going back to his seat.
Silence
He didn't wait for the claps or the criticism of the teacher, he sat down and looked out the window again.
RING
"A-Alright Class, you may g-go now!" The teacher was snapped out of her thoughts, she was a little dazed.
Naruto looked around the room for Kiba but his saw no brown hair and heard no annoying voice. Kiba was away today.
Naruto sighed. 'Who am I supposed to eat lunch with now?'
He picked up his books and walked out the door. 'It 's math next period, that's good I can sleep.' He thought lazily.
I can't believe it. I actually wrote this chapter twice. I mum deleted the it the first time.
Anyway, I hope you guys read it. I'm not sure if I'll update Guardian Angle for a while, I can only do one story at once anyway.
Thanks for reading people!
AND PLEASE REVIEW!
It's not that hard people.
Anyways
Thanks
