If it's not one thing it's the other isn't it? I thought as I glared at the stream of light that had managed to escape through my blinds and into my eyes. "Alright I'm up, geez." I muttered as I slowly got out of bed. I did my morning routine and was out the door by 7:15 munching on my apple.
By 7:25 I arrived at the academy to find it almost deserted, save for the teachers that were finishing up grading papers. So with nothing better to do I sat down and stared out the window. Ten minutes into my silent utopia I heard footsteps outside coming towards the door and the faint sounds of voices. Both were both but one of them had a higher pitched voice than the other. I turned back around and stared back out the window as the mystery people came through the door.
Sasuke's POV:
"Thanks big brother for walking me to class." I said as I beamed up at my brother. "You're welcome Sasuke- huh?" Itachi said/asked. But I wasn't listening because I saw someone sitting at the other side of the classroom. Hey who's over there? I think that's Hitomi. Why's she here so early? I thought as I blankly stared at her.
Itachi's POV:
Huh, what's wrong with Sasuke? I thought as I saw him turn red. I saw him starring at the other side of the classroom, as I turned to see what it was I saw that it was a little girl that was Sasuke's age. "Hey, Sasuke, who's that?" I asked even though I already had a hunch on who it was. "Oh that's Hitomi." He said, never taking his eyes of her. "Oh the one you told us about." "Y-yea" He said as he turned even redder. Heh, looks like he has his first crush. I thought as I tried to hide my snickers. "Well why don't we go over there and talk to her?" I suggested. "Oh, um, I don't know." He said unsurely. "Come on." I said as I took his hand and led him to the girl.
"Hi Hitomi." Sasuke said timidly as he half hid behind my leg. "Hello." She finally replied as if we had snapped her out of her reverie. "This is my big brother, Itachi." He said as he finally came out of 'hiding' and pointed at me. "Hello." I said as I smiled at her. "Hello." She simply replied. Hmm, I expected her to start bouncing off the walls when we came over. She's not like the other little girls her age. I thought as I stared at her.
All of a sudden I heard the kids running towards the door, and into the room. "Ok Sasuke I have to go." "Ok, bye Itachi." He said looking a little sad but then perking up as he saw the other kids. "Bye Sasuke, good-bye Hitomi." I said as I waved good-bye. "Good-bye." She said as she lazily waved at me. She definitely isn't like the other kids. I thought as I walked out the door.
Sasuke's POV:
The day went by like any other until lunchtime. "Ok kids, lunchtime." Iruka-sensei said as he looked at the clock that was mounted on the wall at the back of the classroom. I wonder if Hitomi wants to have lunch with me today. I thought as I turned towards her seat, only to find her seat empty. She must have left already. Oh well. I thought sadly.
Halfway through lunch I was walking down a pathway behind the academy that just bordered the forest. The sun was shining, and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. That's when I heard them… the fangirls. (Dun, Dun, Dun) "Oh no." I whispered, petrified of them. So I did the most sensible thing to do in my situation… I ran. I ran as fast as my little legs could carry me. I looked back to see if they were still following me and to my relief they were far behind me. All of a sudden I hit something small and fleshy.
Hitomi's POV:
Halfway through lunch I was walking down the old, beat up path bordering the forest while reading my book. I was all alone. Apparently Hinata was sick at home with the flu. Shikamaru was playing a game of Shoji at home with his father, although he asked if I wanted to come and watch I declined, already knowing the outcome. Chōji went out to eat barbeque with his family and also asked me to come. But again I declined not feeling very hungry now.
While I read I heard hurried footfalls coming my way. As I looked up to confront who it was they ran into me. And instead of him falling on me backwards into the pathway we fell…down the hill that was next to us. I clenched my eyes and braced myself for my probably ungraceful and painful landing.
When I opened them I found myself at the bottom of the hill with Sasuke…on top of me. Oh Kami. I thought in disbelief. "Um Sasuke, can you get off, you're kinda squishing me." I asked as I squirmed under his weight. "Oh, yea, sorry." He said flustered as he helped me up. "Sorry I bumped into you it's just that I was being chased by all these girls and I wasn't really looking-" He said hurriedly. "It's okay, I'm not hurt. We should get going; class is going to start soon." I said trying to calm the worried boy down.
So we went to class and the rest of the day went on like normal but the incident never leaving my mind. Unbeknownst to me Sasuke would never forget either.
