I know, you readers are probably like, 'What the hell?!?!' Well, my friend wanted me to change the character name, and I wrote this for her in the first place. I just thought this would make it easier for me to do. Yeah, rewrote the point of view for it. Well, sorry if this bums any of you that read this, I'm working on the kinks in this story.
Amaya jolts awake in her bed and holds her head in her hands. "What. The. Hell." She mumbles and rubs her temples. "Who the heck is Sai..? And why were my friends and me dressed like ninja…? Argh…!" Amaya flopped forward in her bed. She peeked over at her clock and groaned again. It was only 5:00 a.m. she still had 30 minutes of sleep.
She sighed and threw the covers off of her and shivered at how cold her house was. She walked out of her room and down the hall to the bathroom. She allowed the warm water to run over her body and wake her up. She takes her time washing her body and hair with the products her friend got her. She recently learned that her friend, Shikamaru Nara, apparently the only son to a beauty product corporation. Quite the shocker to everyone. She washed her body with the lilac and lavender conduction, apparently a new product to help keep skin smooth, and her hair with a strawberry and mango mix shampoo and conditioner.
Once her shower was done, she walked back to her room and rummaged through her closet for her school uniform. Once she found it she dried off and got dressed. She sat down on her bed and started to brush out her hair. Once she was satisfied it was untangled, she got up and grabbed a hair-tie to pull it back with. She walked to her living room/kitchen to get some breakfast. The two rooms where combined, divided by a small bar connected to the kitchen area.
She entered the kitchen and set to her usual routine of making eggs and toast, and fixing up her bento and the few for her friends. She left for a moment to get her bag together. She threw her books and folders into the bag that was hand-made by her friend, Hinata Hyuuga. She looked at the dark red bag and the intricate design that was done in black thread.
When she returns to the kitchen, she turns off the stove and sets the plate down to eat with a glass of milk. She eats as she runs around the kitchen, making rice balls, eggrolls, and other things for the bentos. Once those are made she finishes her meal and the glass of milk. She grabs everything, and shoves more things into her bag and runs out of her single apartment.
Who said you need parents to take care of you? I'm fine on my own, so is Naruto. Amaya thought to herself as she rushed down the street to meet up with a few friends she walks to school with.
"Hey, Amaya!!!" Amaya looks up as she sees her friends waiting at the corner of the stop light. She runs to catch up to them. In the group is Naruto Uzamaki, a blonde haired boy who lives on his own and despite what people think he's rather smart, Kiba Inuzuka, a brown haired boy who always wears a furry hooded jacket it's a pain in the arse to get him to leave his dog Akamaru at home, Shino Aburame, a black haired boy with a fascination for bugs, and the last in the walking group is Neji Hyuuga, Hinata's cousin and a rather quiet boy with long brown hair pulled back.
Amaya nods to her companions. "Hey." She gives her one word greeting. Everyone but Naruto nod back. Naruto on the other hand grabs her in a head lock, "What do you mean just 'hey'?! It's Friday, and we get a three day weekend after this!" Naruto exclaimed as he released her and went on a rant. Everyone just ignores him as they walk to school.
They reached the high school without an incident, in other words no accidents. Amaya walked to her locker with Naruto and met up with Gaara, Temari, and Kankuro on their way.
"Amaya, did you hear, there's a new transfer and he's in your grade and class." Kankuro said. Amaya turned to the brown haired boy, he looked so much better when he didn't have all that drama make-up on. "I heard he was the replacement for Sasuke Uchiha who transferred to that uptight, rich academy." Temari added. Temari had blond hair pulled into two spiky pigtails. Then there was Gaara, who was always quiet, he had short red hair, and a tattoo on his forehead that read 'love'. These three are the Subaku siblings. Apparently their father is the president of a clothing company, but none of these kids were interested in fashion, except Temari when it came to social gatherings like dances.
Amaya listened as the three kids gossiped about the new guy. She exchanged books in her bag and turned around to face Gaara. "Here," She gave him a bento wrapped in a cloth with the kanji for love like his forehead. He nods and takes the bento. She then hands Temari and Kankuro theirs.
Naruto pouted about not having one. "You had one yesterday." Kankuro pointed out as they walked to a specific area of the hallway. Most of them had classes in the area except Temari and Kankuro who had to go up a few levels of the school building. Outside of the English and History rooms, the small group met up with Shikamaru, a lazy brown haired boy and also Temari's boyfriend, Neji, and Lee, a hyper boy with a weird black hair style.
Neji walks up and greets Naruto, it's well known that Neji is gay and happens to like Naruto who is completely oblivious. Temari smiles at Shikamaru who sighs and says his favorite phrase, "What a drag…" and continues to be lectured by Temari about his homework. He's smart, but he's too smart for school, literally!
The warning bell sounds, and Temari and Kankuro drag Neji and Lee to the upper floors for class. Amaya, Gaara, and Shikamaru walk to English, leaving Naruto to meet up with Kiba in History.
The class was pretty boring, Shikamaru was asleep, and Gaara wasn't paying attention to anyone. Amaya sighed when the teacher mentioned a new student. A tall boy walked into the room. He had short black hair, and he wore the school uniform with the top of the jacket undone, and no tie. The teacher, Iruka, shook his head at the student.
"This is Sai; he's new here so everyone be nice to him." Everyone answered Iruka with a 'Yes, Sensei.' Iruka was like a parent figure among the high school teachers, and it is well knows to Amaya and her friends that he and the sophomore English teacher, Kakashi Hayate, were dating.
That...That's the guy from my dream!! Amaya realizes and ends up staring at the guy as he is seated next to her. She turns away from him to not only his amusement, but to her friends.
"Hey, Amaya, is something up?" Shikamaru whispers to her from his seat behind her. She notices Gaara staring at her from his seat in the back a ways past Shikamaru.
"I think I'm going crazy, I saw this guy in my dream, and it wasn't a peaceful dream." Amaya told him. Shikamaru sat back and thought on this information. Gaara looked at Sai, and then turned away in distaste. Amaya couldn't help but laugh.
It was another known fact to her and his siblings, much his father's horror, that Gaara is gay and is looking for a good guy to ask out. Temari and Amaya often discuss trying to hook him up with Lee, he may be hyper, but the upperclassman was a good guy, protective and romantic. Strangely, to everyone's surprise, Gaara is really into romantic stuff, like being given roses, and he's a major uke.
The bell rang and the class filed out, throughout the day, Amaya learned that she had not only English, but History, Art, and Lunch with Sai. Apparently he has Biology with Kiba and Shikamaru, and journalism and P.E. with Shino, Kankuro, and Temari. During lunch, it was a bit of a shock when he approached the group and asked if he could join them.
"Um, sure, go ahead." Amaya said and Sai smiled and sat next to her. Everyone slowly got back to what they were doing. Temari and Kankuro were urging Lee to flirt with Gaara, which when he did Gaara turned red with a faint blush. Temari then turned to Shikamaru and made him do his homework. Neji was flirting with Naruto, and successfully turning the blonde red with a blush.
"Is this normal?" Sai asked Amaya who nodded. "Yeah, is something wrong with my friends?" She asked with narrowed eyes. Sai held his hands up in a peace sign, "Nothing at all. It's interesting; I've never seen people interact in such ways."
"What does that mean?" Kankuro asked. "I was home schooled until now." Sai said with a smile. Everyone at the table stared at him. Home schooled, you don't hear that often. "Really? Hmm, well you'll enjoy school life a lot more once you get a girlfriend." "Why not hook up with Amaya; she needs the change of pace." Gaara said as pay back for making Lee cause him to blush.
Victory is sweet, was what Gaara thought as Amaya blushed, and Sai turned to her. "Will you go out with me?" He asked. Amaya turned tomato red with how straight forward he was being.
"Go on Amaya, say yes!" Temari cheered. Amaya was so shocked that all she got out was a, "I have to think about this…" and stood up, her long hair flowed behind her and she walked off, forgetting her backpack and lunch at the table.
"Hey, Amaya left her bag." Naruto said pointing at the black and silver bag as Neji pulled him to his lap. "So? And if you're so obsessed with home cooking, I'll make you food." He says meaning he wanted to make Naruto meals. Naruto blushes lightly and smile, "I'd like that Neji!"
At another table, Hinata was talking with some other girls. Ino Yamanaka, a blonde haired girl who's family runs a flower shop, and Sakura Haruno, a girl whose family money got her into the school; she has no brains and would barely passing be classes if it wasn't for Ino. Hinata wondered what Amaya would say to Sai, having overheard them talking, ignoring the girls before her, she works on the bag in her hands, sewing black flowers, and gold embroidery into it for Temari.
Half way down the hall, Amaya turned a corner and walked into a room. "Shoot! I left my bag!" she exclaimed and ran back down the hall to go get it. Halfway back, she ran into Sai, "Um, hey…"
Sai smiled and held up her bag, "You left this." He said. Amaya nodded and took her bag. "Thanks." She said and took the bag from Sai. He smiled. "I'll see you around." He said as he walked off. Amaya stared after him for a moment before turning to go to her class. "That was…odd…?" "What was odd?" Amaya looked to see the P.E. teacher leaving her Biology room.
"Coach Gai," She smiles a crooked smile as she sat down, "It's the new kid, Sai, and he's kind of…" "…odd." He supplied and Amaya nodded. Gai laughed at the girl. "Yes, he is something. Well, I best be off, class will be starting soon." With that, the tall man in green left.
Coach Might Gai is Lee's dad. The two share the same hyper personalities as well as a habit of wearing this weird green jumpsuit. It was just recently that everyone got Lee to stop wearing it and start wearing jeans and shirts.
The biology class went by fast, as well as P.E. Another accident with Sakura caused her to be sent to Tsunade again. Lady Tsunade is the nurse of the school, and Sakura tends to act like a real…how to put it… spoiled brat. So Amaya takes it upon herself to teach the bit- I mean pinket a lesson. Thus she gets sent to the counselor, Shizune.
Shizune looked up from her papers when she heard her door open; she sighed and set the papers down. "Hello, Amaya." The woman says and gestures to an open seat. Amaya sits downs in the plush chair with a smile. "Why did you hit Sakura, again?" she asked already predicting the answer.
"She was acting like a spoiled brat. Besides that she was mistreating my friends, and had insulted one of their older siblings. I just had to take it upon myself to teach her some manners." Amaya said in a half innocently convincing voice. Shizune sighed and picked up a folder.
"Amaya, these are all the times you've come in here, and all of them have to do with something or another with Sakura Haruno. What is it you have against her?" The counselor asked.
Amaya blinked blankly a few moments, and then smiling she said, "Quite simply I can't stand spoiled rich brats who think that because their parents money got them into this school that they can treat me and my friends and fellow classmates as if we were lower than dirt. I believe that the pink thing, my bad, I mean Sakura, needs to learn what it feels like every time she dares to act above us when in reality it is quite the opposite."
Shizune stared at the girl and placing her head in her hands and shook her head. "You're a very stubborn girl Amaya." Amaya smiled to the black haired woman. "Fine, you can go…." She shooed the younger girl out. Amaya smiled and walked out to head to her art class.
"What was that about?" "You beat up the pink thing again?" Amaya looked up to see Temari and Kankuro. She smiled, "You bet. She deserved it after not only insulting Gaara and his taste in men, Gai-sensei's son Lee, but she started talking trash about you two!" The two stared in misbelieve. "Maybe it's our turns to rough up this….freshman…." Kankuro said with a very evil grin. Temari soon had one to match, "No one messes with our baby bro and lives to talk about…. For long…" Amaya felt a shiver go up and down her spine to her toes. "Whatever you two are planning, I don't want in." She said and left to her class after stressing on the 'don't'.
Amaya walked to her seat in the back area by the window. Soon entering the room was Gaara who was carrying a black rose, and had a faint blush. Not that anyone would notice unless they really knew the boy. Following behind him were the other students and lastly Sai. Sai sat right behind her, as it was open. Gaara looked at him then turned back in his seat to Amaya's left. She sighed and sat back in her stool. Sai smiled and leaned forward. "You are into art, what kind?" He asked.
Amaya looked at him, "Um… I sketch as well as some computer work." Sai nodded, that smile still on his face. "I paint." Amaya nodded as the teacher began the class. It wasn't bad, Sai kept asking what kind of art interest Amaya had, as soon as the bell rang, she was off to finish up her things at the counselor's office. Gaara ended up telling Sai that she tended to sketch people and some places for reference.
Down the hall, a bit away from the counselor's office, Amaya spotted a boy with raven hair styled in the back like a birds butt. There's only one person I know with that hair style…! "SASUKE!!" She yelled and ran faster. Said Uchiha turned his head, at first afraid that it was a long lost fan girl coming to attack him, but was shocked when he found himself on the ground with a now swelling cheek.
"You!!" Sasuke yelled as he got up and the two started a glaring contest. An older man walked out of the room and sighed. He brushed back his long raven black hair. "Amaya… Apparently Sasuke will be transferring back." "Why?!" Snapped the girl to the older Uchiha who glared, which had no effect, all the matches with Sasuke has made her practically immune. He sighed. "Apparently competing with you is what pushes him to do so well in his classes. Without you around to compete with, he lost all interest in school." Amaya smirked and turned to Sasuke. "Aw… Did little duck butt miss me?" she said in a babyish voice. Sasuke scoffed. "As if! All those morons at the other school were dumber than anyone at this school. Why should I, an Uchiha, waste my time with such idiots?"
Both Amaya and Sasuke's brother Itachi rolled their eyes at the boy. "Whatever you say duck butt. Just keep telling yourself that." With that Amaya walks into Shizune's room. Itachi then had the pleasure of dragging a very pisses Sasuke back home. Amaya finished her business and went home herself.
She opened the door to her single apartment and looked around the plain room. She threw her bag on the couch and walked to the bathroom. She filled up the bathtub with hot water and a few scented oils Shikamaru insist she have. Something about her being really tense and stressed and needing them. Right now she was telling herself to remember to thank the lazy boy the next time she talked to him. She undressed and slipped into the water. She lied back and relaxed as the scents of jasmine and jade entered her nose. Time to contemplate…. Sasuke 'Duck Butt' Uchiha is back, that'll make the year more bearable. Maybe we can work out a truce long enough to teach that pink bitch-thingy why you don't mess with my friends…. Amaya starting plotting evil plans for a Sakura Haruno and ways on how to get Sasuke to help, she was sure he would enjoy getting rid of one of his more persistent fan girls. She soon found herself completely relaxed into the scented bath. Right… Sai… Hm… He is pretty good looking… and my dream…. Maybe I should give him a chance… But what if that dream was a bad omen…? Amaya thought on that and decided that giving him a chance could do no harm. If anyone said anything, she'd just beat them to a pulp, drag them to a back alley, and make it look like the poor soul stumbled upon something he shouldn't have. After all, she's been wanting an excuse to take her old weapons out. After she had met Naruto in school, she had dropped out of her gang, passed on leadership, and used her skills to beat up and threaten any poor soul who dared to talk bad about the orphan blonde. Without realizing it, she had grown very fond of the blonde dope and his friends quickly grew in numbers, as soon as the whole 'You don't mess with Naru, I won't mess with you' was sorted out.
