Due to the fact I haven't updated in quite some time, Im trying to update as much as I can this summer
Chapter Seven: Week 2Shikamaru was woken up by his dad early Wednesday morning. Shikamaru had shut off his alarm clock last night. Well if by shut off you mean bash into a hundred pieces and watch as it burns while cursing at it…
"Come on dad" Shikamaru said as he sat up, rubbing his eyes. "Can't I stay home today, I've had perfect attendance all year"
Mr. Nara simply stared down at him, his arms crossed. "Shikamaru, you've been going to school for a week, now get up before I get my problem stick"
Shikamaru sighed as he pulled the covers off of himself. He pulled himself off the bed with what energy he had. He slowly walked over to his dresser and slowly got dressed, then slowly walked downstairs.
He sat at the kitchen table and looked down at a small paper plate with a banana on it…
He just sighed as he took the banana and stood up.
"Cya dad!" He yelled as he picked up his book bag that sat by the front door. He slung it over his shoulder as he began to unpeel the banana. He walked down his paved walkway and towards his bus stop where Kiba and Choji waited.
They both waved as Shikamaru approached. Shikamaru threw the banana peelings on the street as he began to converse with his friends.
Naruto approached shouting and waving.
As if it was meant to be he slipped on the banana peel and fell back on the pavement. Receiving laughs and mocks from Kiba, Naruto attempted to play it off as if he meant to do it.
It was now the second week of school. The work would begin in each class.
Naruto attempted to resist getting on the bus.
But was immediately dragged on by Choji.
Shikamaru sat with Kiba as Choji sat across from them. Naruto sat a few rows in front of them with a fainted Hinata.
Shikamaru leaned over the seat and conversed with Neji about their classes.
Shikamaru and Neji shared two classes with one another. English(or Japanese I suppose?) and Math.
They halted in front of the school as kids began to pour of busses. Shikamaru walked with Naruto, Choji, and Kiba towards the gym. They were joined by Neji, Hinata, and Tenten as they sat on the first row of the bleachers.
Hinata sat between Kiba and Naruto. She didn't faint… She fell into a coma.
Shikamaru and Neji continued their conversation, as Tenten danced and sung to her iPod.
Shikamaru looked up at Ino who sat with Sakura and Sasuke.
"Is Sai absent today?" Shikamaru asked as he continued to stare at them.
"Yeah!" Tenten shouted.
It was annoying talking to someone who was listening to blasting music, they always talk louder than neccisary.
"I heard he got some sort of crazy migrane' Kiba stated.
Shikamaru smiled as he turned back to Neji.
"You like Ino, don't you?" Neji asked quietly.
Shikamaru looked wide eyed at Neji, "No, Girls are to troublesome" He replied defensively.
Neji continued to stare at Shikamaru as though he was looking straight through him. "It's really quite obvious," He said bluntly.
Shikamaru gave up trying to shake him off. "So I do. So what?" He replied.
"No reason" Neji replied. Shikamaru knew he was hiding something, but thought it would be too troublesome to get it out of him.
Shikamaru glanced up at the clock, they still had another ten minutes to wait. He quietly sat, his eyes barely managed to stay open.
About fifteen minutes later they sat in homo room. "Well STUDENTS!" He yelled getting everyones attention. The students turned to him, not entirely excited. "WELL!!" He started as he began rummaging throughout papers on his desk.
"In exactly ONE WeEk THE BOYS ARE PLAYING THEIR Very first FUTbawl GAME!" He shouted as he began tossing schedules at students. "I HopE Yu CAN Al MAKE IT 2 Da GAME next week!"
Homeroom ended as the bell rang. Students began to file out of the classroom, Shikamaru and Ino found them selves at the end of the line and were held up bby Kiba and Naruto getting into a slap fight.
"Sooooo," He started attempting to bring up a conversation. Ino stared dully at the two of them, "Do they ehmm… do this a lot?" She asked as she turned to Shikamaru.
Shikamaru nodded as he stared at the two of them in amusement.
The two of them continued to fight as Shikamaru and Ino began talking. "Do you have that creep Mr. Hatake?" Ino asked rolling her eyes. Shikamaru smiled as he nodded. "He sat me in the very front row! Right in front of him!" She said waving her arms.
That Sucks Shikamaru thought
"So he does put all the pretty girls in the front…" Shikamaru said. A confused look came across his face.
Crap, Did I just say the thing I was supposed to be thinking out loud, and the thing I was suppose to say out loud in my thoughts?!
Shikamaru immediately looked away from her nervous abouthow she would respond.
"Ooh! Your so nice Shika-Kun!" She said while smiling.
'Shika' turned a bright red. Kiba and Naruto stopped slapping at eachother as he proceeded towards science class and said goodbye to Ino. If Mr. Hatake wasn't a pedophile back slash pervert that conversation never would have happened, and that conversation scored major points with Ino…
He turned to Mr. Hatake as he entered the room.
How are you? He thought, "Thanks for being a pedophile back slash pervert" He said smiling.
CRAP! I mixed up my thoughts and speech again...
Shikamaru was scheduled to have detention for an hour starting at three and ending at four thirty. He asked Neji to inform Gai that he wouldn't be there for the first hour of practice.
Shikamaru thought about either telling Naruto, Kiba, or Choji, but then thought of the outcome…
Naruto's Outcome:
Gai: Wjh29478y1jhajkmaru (Where's Shikamaru)
Naruto: Slacking off
Kiba's Outcome:
Gai: Where is SHIKAmAROO??
Kiba: Slacking off
Choji's Outcome:
Gai: Where is Shikamaru?
Choji: Did you just say a sentence like a normal person?!
Gai: ur23irhuvb12489036bjklk3j4
Choji: Oh, he's slacking off
Naruto, Kiba, and Choji, approached Shikamaru to hang out in between classes.
Shikamaru just glared at them, "You guys are jerks" He said dully.
School ended as Shikamaru trudged down to the office to receive his detention slip. He opened the door, as the front desk sat in front of him. He walked slowly up to the desk.
A lady sat behind the desk, rapidly typing on a computer, her name tag read Shizune. She looked up and smiled, "What do you need little child?"
Shikamaru stared at her awkwardly. "I'm here for a detention slip" He moaned.
Shizune stopped smiling as she opened a drawer on her left hand side. She placed it on the top of the desk. Shikamaru took it and placed it in his pocket. "Thanks…" He grumbled as he walked out of the door.
He read the slip, it read, DETENTION ROOM 218. He began walking back up the stairs through out the empty hallways of Konoha High. He walked halfway down the upstairs hall as he turned into room 218.
Inside sat no one except for Shikamaru's Social Studies teacher, Mr. Thomas. He handed him the slip and took a seat at a random desk. In which he fell asleep for the hour.
Shikamaru rushed down to the gym and into the locker rooms. He proceeded to the fifth aisle of lockers, and began to change into his pads. He placed his jeans on the bench and proceeded to practice.
Apparently for having a detention was a worst punishment than being late to practice, as Shikamaru ran sprints around the gym while back up quarter backs took target practice at him.
"This is troublesome" Shikamaru groaned.
