Hey guys! First off just let me say that I know the first three chapters have several grammatical errors. They were typed over a year ago and made me laugh a lot when I read back through them. Alright now on to the damn story. Sorry for the little bit of a wait, but I had to think up plots. So, yeah… X3
Kiba's P.O.V
"Naruto! I'm open! I'm open!"
"I dunno Kiba, this is the last one. Shikamaru, does he look open?"Naruto asked.
"I don't think so Naruto." Shika responded.
"Doesn't look open?"
"Doesn't look open."
"Doesn't look open?"
"Doesn't look open."
"Doesn't look open?"
"THROW THE DAMN DOUGHNUT HOLE!" I screamed from across the room. Naruto and Shika looked at each other then, with a look of concentration, Naruto threw the last doughnut hole. My canine instincts kicked in and in one bound I threw one leg over the back table and launched myself into the air. The doughnut hole was in my sights, but it seemed to be getting further away. Then I crashed into the next table in front of me.
"Good thing that was the last one." Shino stated as he looked at his friend laying in a heap of busted table on the floor. Then, despite the odds The doughnut hole landed in my mouth. I threw my arms straight in the air and yelled, "Victory!"
Then Naruto threw his arms straight up in the air and yelled, "GOOOOOAL!"
"This isn't soccerrrrrrrrr!"
"I don't carrrrrrrre!"
"You're and idioooooooot!"
"Shut the hell uuuuuuuupp!"
"Make meeeeeee~!"
"Hi guys, good morning!" Hinata said as she entered the room with somebody.
"Hinataaaaaaa!" Naruto yelled making her flinch. Dammit Naruto, why do you have to make things so hard for her? Hinata quickly got over her stupor and assessed the situation, while the person she walked in with, slinked away to go sit in her seat. Oh, it was that chick I hit with my car yesterday. Hinata looked everyone over. Naruto, and I still had our arms raised in the air, I was lying in a pile of what used to be a table, everyone else was just standing around watching and laughing a little. Hinata then looked directly at me. I almost shit bricks.
"...You stop for coffee this morning?" She asked.
"And doughnuts!" Naruto confirmed. I chuckled nervously as I sat up.
"Eheheheh~...We also got doughnut holes." I tried to say cutely. Hinata rolled her eyes at my comment. Success.
"...So uh, we should probably dispose of the evidence, huh?" I suggested as I stood up and dusted myself off. Wow am I gonna feel this later.
"Well I gotta get to my class." Shika said and left. Naruto stood speechless for a few seconds.
"That lazy bastard!" He stated. I started snapping my fingers at him.
"Hey! Pay attention! We've got like a minute before everyone comes in here and sees this."
"Oh, rightrightrightright!" Naruto muttered.
"Really should've gone with decaf." Choji uttered.
"But, wait...Kakashi'll probably be late, we've got plenty of time." Naruto pointed out.
"Yeah, but everyone who uses this table in class isn't going to be very happy." I said scratching the back of my head to try and figure out what to do with it. I don't really think a genjutsu will cut it here.
"So what do we do?" Naruto asked as he paced around a little bit. A small byproduct of the caffeine.
"Uhhm…"
"Ahem." I looked around to see Gaara sitting casually on the counter on one side of the room. He didn't say a word, but pointed to the window behind him. I turned back to Naruto with a devilish smile. He returned with bobbing his eyebrows a few times.
Still Kiba's P.O.V. but a little while later.
Naruto and I stared at our handy work. Out the third story window on our classroom was the scattered remains of what used to be a table on the school's sidewalk. Several of the larger pieces had exploded on impact, and spread out even farther. Naruto and I looked at each other and exchanged a nod of approval, and we moved away from the window. The perfect crime. We went and sat down in our seats. Shino, Choji, and Hinata are sitting in their seats since they refused to get involved and didn't help. Fuckers. Roadkill was sitting in her seat behind everyone, quietly feeding her lizard a piece of melon. Annnnd Gaara was still sitting on the counter; pinching the bridge of his nose now.
"...I was actually pointing to the supply closet." He said. I saw Naruto's head start to snap back and forth between the window and the closet a couple of times. Whoa there Naruto, don't break your neck. Yeah no more coffee stops with you...for this week.
"I like our plan better." He stated. Gaara rolled his eyes.
"You mean my plan, which had a broom and trash bags and a place to hide the evidence so it didn't connect it to you two?"
"Au contraire, my little raccoon!" Naruto said as he sat up in the counter next to Gaara and threw an arm around his shoulders. "Your plan did not involve chucking stuff out the window~!"
"...you're an idiot." Within the next ten minutes more and more of my classmates began to fill in the room. Ino entered, glared daggers at Sakura, then shoved Shino out of his seat so she could sit next to Hinata. He stood silently, looking a bit but hurt over it, and glanced around to find a new seat. I rolled my eyes at how easy it was to hurt his feelings.
"C'mere Ladybugg." I beckoned for him to sit next to me, while Hinata sent him a very apologetic look. I nicknamed him Ladybugg when we were younger because of how easy it is to hurt his feelings. Several kids stopped and had a severe case of mind fuck when they saw the table they had been assigned to was missing and stood amongst each other in confusion as Naruto and I kept our heads down. Then the moment we've all been holding our holding our breaths for came. Kakashi, late as usual, strolled into class with what I assume is a cheerful expression considering most of his face was covered.
"Sorry, one of my dogs-" Kakashi stopped when he saw a few confused student's standing around where the demolished table used to be. Slowly his eyes shut and he started to shake his head. I saw Naruto looked like he was about start casually whistling in a half assed attempt not to look suspicious. Like hell I'll let him do something so...so...cliche. I shot him a look and mouthed, Not now, which made him stop and snicker like he had just gotten away with something. That evil bastard. Then Kakashi, as if he didn't even see anything, turned and started writing something on the board and started giving the outline for what we were to be doing for the day.
"-Wait, what happened to his dog?" Naruto asked, losing focus. I think I heard Kakashi face palm from the front of the room.
Shikamaru's P.O.V.
What. A. Drag.
I thought sitting in class. Mr. Asuma had excused himself from class to go smoke a cigarette or two, and the whole class went to hell after that. I would've taken a nap, but it's so loud with all the morons in my class talking, that doing so would've required effort. That resulted in a big pile of nope. Only a few other people in the room looked as about as annoyed as I was, one of which was Temari. I'm not really sure why I took note of that, like hell I'd actually do anything about it. Oh, well. Just then the door opened up and, as if he had done nothing wrong, Sai strolled into class, roughly twenty minutes late, again, approached Asuma's desk, picked up his clipboard, marked something on it, then walked over and sat down next to me.
"Mark yourself present on the roll sheet?" Sai nodded.
"Yes. Mr. Asuma is always marking me absent, despite the fact that I seldom am."
"Well, if you'd actually bother showing up to class on time instead of making out with Ino, then maybe that wouldn't happen so often." I said. Sai just gave me a look like I had said: spank me, in several different languages. I decided not to go much further into it. I've never had Sai in any of my home rooms before, since you know, he just moved here over summer, but it was only the second day of school, and I could already tell t was going to be like this alot.
"Whatever, just be careful. You can only cheat the system for so long before you get caught." Sai again looked confused, apparently oblivious to the fact that signing himself present on the roll sheet was a no-no. With that, I decided to see how my other idiots were doing with the war zone they made down the hall.
Hey. I texted Hinata.
~Whats up! :) She responded. It was always funny to see how much more confident she seems over text.
Usual bord out of my mind. What hapnd wth the table?

They threw it out the window! How WONT she find out?
~...Ya…

~I found out Neji's family is having dinner out our house tonight :(
That sux whend u find out?
~Last night.

~Thanx XP
I started to text something when Asuma came back to class.
g2g. Good luk! I sent.
"Alright class, as I explained yesterday over the next few months we will be starting our life science project. I thought to start things off we will be picking our partners for this journey." Asuma was suddenly interrupted by a chorus of kids cheering, and declaring who they wanted to be partnered with. Asuma cleared his throat.
"Hold on, my mistake, I misspoke. I will be choosing your partners." All at once sounds of disappointment rang throughout the room in a symphony of pissed off .
"Alright, quiet down, I have the list right here." Asuma said before reading them off. he went further down the list and I started to get nerv-slightly less indifferent than usual. Asuma named off more and more people and I heard just about every person I could stand to be around get paired up.
"Shikamaru," This is it! "-And Temari."
...What?! My jaw dropped. Glancing over my shoulder, I saw Temari looked just as upset as me. Well if we can possibly agree on one thing: this is gonna suck.
...What a drag.
Hinata's P.O.V.
Five more minutes! Come on clock! I thought staring at the clock above Kakashi's desk. Three more minutes! I could've sworn the clock started going backwards with how slow it seemed. Ah! I'm gonna tear your hands off!
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnngggg!
Yes! Lunch! I thought with glee as I started grabbing my things. Kiba, Shino, and Choji started discussing places to go for lunch. Out the corner of my eye I saw naruto stand and cheerfully wave to someone on the other side of the room. Turning my head a little I saw he was trying to get Sakura's attention. She of course, responded with a curt nose in the air and not even a glance in his direction. Harsh! Naruto stopped waving, and looked a little crest befallen that she has neither forgave him, or acknowledged his existence. I saw him glance around and notice everyone had seen what had just happened. It took him about a second to cover it up like it didn't matter. Which of course I knew it did. To him at least. Naruto threw his arms in the air, made an absolutely pathetic expression and wailed,
"Gaara I need your loving tender embrace!" Then rushed over and just about tackled Gaara, before he even had time to realize what was happening.
"Ah! What the hell are you doing? Get off!" Gaara said in shock as he tried to get the blonde off of him.
"Love me!" Naruto wailed. I watched this as it went on, and on, for quite a while. Shino, Choji, and Ino, had already gotten up to go find something to eat for lunch.
"You're doing it again." I flinched and ducked away on instinct from the voice that was just a bit to close all of a sudden.
"Kiba!" I whined.
"Ahaha! You were totally staring at him again!" I felt my cheeks get hot.
"N-no I wasn't!"
"I bet you wish you were Gaara right about now~!" Yes, but that's irrelevant. Unconsciously I glanced at the squirming bundle of sand ninja as he continued to try and pry off the clinging leaf ninja.
"N-no I don't!"
"Hahaha...Whatever you say Hinata...What's your say on this Naruto?" Thinking Naruto was standing right behind me I gasped and turned around to find he was still wrestling with Gaara. Kiba laughed as I whipped back around, pink faced and embarrassed. My arm shaking I landed a halfhearted punch on his right shoulder. He laughed up until I started to finally faint and luckily caught me. I know this because I woke up a second later halfway dangled from the floor as he tried to stand me up. I also woke up just in time to see Gaara finally having to use his sand to get Naruto off of him. Things almost got bad after that.
Time Skip...A-again.
"Praise the lunch break!" Naruto called as he began to mow down on an instant ramen he had brought. Ino and Gaara had packed lunch, and the rest of us had gotten food from the taco truck that parks across the street from the school everyday at lunch. We were all sitting at our usual lunchin' spot. The lunch table just outside the cafeteria.
"Mhh…-Praise the taco truck!" Kiba confirmed, gaining a few nods of agreement.
"...I can't believe he eats that." Ino said with both amazement and slight disgust.
"Believe it." Naruto said as he slurped another bite.
"...and I can't believe you've got a thing for that slob." Ino said so only I could hear.
"Ah! Shhhhhh!" I started spazzing. I looked over my shoulder. Okay, no one heard that. Now I just have to kill Ino so that never almost happens again.
"What are you doing?!" I asked in a hushed tone.
"What, you always want to talk about this stuff?"
"Not when he's right there!" Both of us looked down the table to see Naruto challenging Choji to an eating contest.
"He's not paying attention." Ino said.
"Yeah, but-!"
"Hinata, he hasn't taken the hint that Sakura's not interested. I'm pretty sure you could profess your crush on him to his face through a megaphone and he wouldn't notice know what you were getting at." Kiba pitched in. I buried my face in my jacket in embarrassment. Why didn't I take Ino out while I had the chance?
"Is that all you got?" Ino asked with disapproval toward Kiba.
"What? He's my friend, and he's as oblivious as hell!"
"But those aren't exactly words of confidence, y'know." Shino added. Wonderful, everyone I've ever talked to anything about ever has now decided to discuss it amongst each other.
"Oh what do you know…" Kiba said, and they continued to discuss it for a lot longer than I would've wanted to hear. My face got redder with every word and soon, my jacket could rival Gaara's sand with how far I was burrowed down in it. Speaking of which, I started listening in on what the redhead and the Shika were talking about.
"-This is gonna suck, I'm tellin' you."
"...It might not be so bad."
"This is going to be such a drag. How do you deal with her man?"
"Okay, I'm trying to be helpful but this is getting borderline insulting." Gaara said.
"Sorry, I just don't know what I'm gonna do all semester." Gaara sighed.
"You'll pull through."
"You think so?"
"Sure, you only have to make it through a semester. I've had to live with her all my life and I'm fine, aren't I?"
"...Oh my god, I'm gonna die!" I heard Shikamaru say, followed by a thump on the table which I figured was Shika's head dropping on it.
"What are you talking about?" I heard Naruto ask. All at once everyone went silent, then at the same time, Shino, Kiba, and Ino answered in that order: "Nothing!" "Dogs!" "Flowers!"
And just like that I sprang from our table and booked it into the nearest building, with a few calls of surprise, some chuckles and an oblivious, where's she going? From Naruto. I booked through a few turns and hallways before I ended up hiding between the end of a set of lockers and the corner of a wall. It was the first hiding place I had found, and it gave me comfort on the chance of someone coming to find me. I was a little too flustered at the moment to face anyone. Any confrontation would only make things worse. As I tried to calm down I heard three pairs of shoes clip-clopping my way. I recognized the sound of them. Sakura, Karin, and Tenten. Where are they going? They're usually always in the cafeteria during lunch...I hope they're not coming for me. Luckily they weren't, I realized when they passed by without paying me any notice. But where were they going?
Creeping out of my crevice, I followed from a distance. The trio, stopped around someone who was sitting on the floor against some lockers, who appeared to be minding their own business and eating lunch. I couldn't see who it was with Tenten standing in the way however. I also couldn't really hear what they were saying, but I had a good look at Sakura. It wasn't good. Taking my chances and staying near the lockers on the opposite side of the hall, I tried to get closer.
"Listen, I know you're new here, so I'll give you some slack just this once." I heard Karin say. No no no no no no no no no no.
"I don't underztand."
"I'll make it real simple." Sakura said in a sweet voice. "I don't know what happened this morning, but Sasuke is off limits."
"What do you mean?"
"Don't play dumb, we saw you with him!" Karin insisted. Tenten gave an affirmative nod, but otherwise stood silently with her arms crossed.
"Look, if you're talking about one of thoze guyz from thiz morning, I've got newz: they came up to me." Wait a minute. I know that accent. That's Cinema! Sakura and karin both got horrified expressions on their faces.
"Our Sasuke would do no such thing!" Karin shrieked, making Cinema stare at her like she'd just lost her mind.
"He's mine, so just back off newbie." Sakura said in a stern voice. I noticed Karin shot her a look when she said mine.
"That'z fine. You can have anyone of thoze azzholez." Cinema said hoping they would go away and stop bothering her. Oh on, this is exactly what I was hoping wouldn't happen. Sakura didn't look very amused.
"Listen here you little bitch! If I ever hear another word about Sasuke come out of your mouth, I'll do -I don't know, something! But it will be bad!" She yelled frantically, then stomped off with the other two in toe.
"What the hell waz all that about?" Cinema asked aloud to no one in particular.
"You're just lucky they didn't know you were the one who put that welt on Sasuke's face." I said after they were a good distance away. Cinema turned around and noticed me with a look that said, when did you get there?
"Who?" Cinema asked as she stood to meet me.
"The dark haired guy from this morning? Thats who they were bothering you over."
"Why? What'z their beef with me if they didn't know about Wachah'z handy work?"
"Um...He's sort of this schools it guy. They're probably just trying to scare you so the only competition they have is with each other."
"Peh," She sneered. "He'z not my type."
"Yeah, but remember that social food chain I was gonna talk to you about?" Cinema looked at me with doubt like she knew what I was about to say.
"Thoze girlz and that guyz crew are thiz schoolz hierarchy?" I nodded solumnly.
"Hmph."
"What?"
"Nothing...I juzt wouldn't've pegged them az popular."
"What do you mean?" Cinema shrugged.
"They juzt don't zeem all that great...or likeable…" I giggled a little.
"Well they're popular amongst each other."
"Weird…" I noticed something a little odd about her. I don't know if it's because of her culture or what, but it was apparent.
"...You don't really know that much about high school do you?"
"...Iz it that obviouz?" I nodded, and she chuckled silently and shrugged. "I've kinda been home zchooled mozt of my life, azide from the few timez I attended upon requezt."
"And, nothing like this happened?" Cinema shook her head.
"Out of the four zchoolz I've been to, only two were...uh… after the age of ten?" She said as she thought. "And the other two weren't nearly this big, zo I guezz everybody figured being mean to each other wouldn't work out to well…"
"Wait...What? You've been to four schools?...Um, w-why didn't you stay in one?"
"I traveled with my mom a lot when I wazn't with my dad. A few timez when we ztayed in the zame town for an extended time I waz permitted to go to public zchoolz for a few monthz at a time."
"Oh…" Was all I could say. After a while of the two of us standing in silence, i thought of something.
"Hey, why don't you come hang out with my friends and I, so we could, you know, show you the ropes or something?" Cinema seemed a bit unsure about that. He demeanor changed from relaxed to a little more reserved.
"I dunno about that...Maybe xome other time." I was about to argue, when the bell cut me off and CInema declared that we had to go to P.E. Rolling my eyes a little I caught up with her down the hall.
"By the way, why were you sitting in the hallway?"
"Duh, I waz zitting in front of my locker."
"You know what Cinema? You're sort of an open book." Cinema chuckled.
"I don't have any reazon to hide what I've zaid." Yeah, if only I could find out what your culture was.
"And you know what elze Hinata?"
"Yeah?"
"You haven't ztuttered much thiz time."
Gaara's P.O.V.
Hours had passed since school got out. As I put some food in the microwave I glanced at the clock in the kitchen. It was almost seven thirty. Down in my pocket I felt my phone buzzing. I took it out and looked at the texter. It was Hinata. I blinked. She was supposed to be having dinner with Neji's side of the family.
~Hey. Can I come over? I read.
Sure, what happened?
~My dad went off about how great Hanabi is, my uncle about Neji, and I don't think they even noticed I snuck out of the room.
They won't notice if you leave the house?
~Not if I don't take my car.
See you in a few.
I texted and slipped the phone back in my pocket. She only lived around the block from my house, and on occasion stayed over when she needed to. Most would probably get the wrong idea about it, but we have been having these sleepovers since we were nine. Her parents rarely noticed her gone, and Gaara's house was big enough for no one to notice an extra person. Besides at this point she was like a second sister. After a few minutes I made my way to the front door, through the front yard and past the front gate where Hinata was patiently waiting with a backpack and sleeping bag. I entered the code into the padlock, unlocking the gate.
"Why do I keep letting you in my house?" I asked as we walked up to the house.
"Don't pretend like you're not thrilled to have someone over." Hinata giggled.
"Yeah, yeah. Come on I've got a hot pocket waiting in the microwave." I said covering up that fact.
"What ever. You up for a netflix marathon tonight?"
"If you think you can stay up."
Woo! After a battle with writers block I powered through!
I own nothing.
