In Gym we had lots of activities and games for warm ups. Then we got into baseball outside. I had totally forgotten that I was wearing my uniform and was so mucked up I was a mud beast from planet mud. He he .
"Haru, what are you going to wear?" asked Sakura when she saw me covered in mud.
"I don't know! *groan* I have no self control in these things" I said pondering on what I should do.
"i have an extra uniform, you could borrow it and it's only for another hour ok?" Ino said. I looked up at her, she was kind in suggesting but the problem was I hate skirts.
"Ok fine, thank you" I said giving in, well it was either walk to art as a mud ball or wear a skirt like normal female students to art.
Going in to the change room I took a quick shower and got changed, when I came out everyone was waiting for me.
"Haru you really look like a girl" Naruto said smiling.
"No Duh!" I said smacking him on the arm. Naruto flinched and rubbed his arm and everyone laughed. I walked with them talking with Hinata. I learned that she was Naruto's girlfriend. And I learned that Ino liked Sai and Sakura liked Sasuke, that I already knew.
We got to the door and went in there were only 13 empty seats in a semi circle facing the front. The other 14 seats were filled mainly by girls.
I sat in the only empty seat sadly between Neji and Sasuke. Kill me now!
There was silence then more silence as the teachers were late. The bell rang and nothing.
The teachers are late I thought, really what kind of teacher or teachers are later than their students? The thought passed through my head as I heard yelling and arguing in the halls.
"Kyaa they are here!" screamed an unnamed girl.
They entered the room and one was so familiar it was hard to put my finger on it. One was a red headed man who was short, very short. The other was a blonde man who looked kinda girly but by the language he was using it was no doubt he was a male. They stood on opposite sides of the class not bothering to say sorry for being late or to each other for what ever they were arguing about.
"apparently we have a transfer student today and you should welcome her to class" the red head said. Then the blonde picked up the attendance and read off names.
He looked up and I could see he had bluish green eyes and still looked familiar.
He looked at me saying "stand up!"
I stand and brush some graphite I was using to sketch the encounter of the two student teachers off my hands.
"name" the red head said harshly.
I wanted to give him a scowl and tell him to jump off a cliff but I couldn't do that on my first day. "Tomota Haru" I said and I saw him take some books out of a drawer and give them to the blond.
Red head said something to blond as he suddenly shouted "WHY THE HELL SHOULD I HAVE TO? Un".
"because it was your fault we were late coming here" red head said looking annoyed. Although the red head was shorter he seemed to have more authority between them.
"but! Un" he blonde said.
"No buts Deidara" the red head said icily and giving him a glare.
"fine Sasori no Danna" Deidara said taking the books.
He came over to me and handed them to me. I looked at him and he looked at me, then I remembered and it seemed he did too.
"Deidara/Haru!" we said simultaneously.
"why are you here" Deidara asked.
"me? What about you? You ran away from home when you were 16! you have no idea how much your mother worries about you!" I said my anger growing.
"fine and what's your story?" Deidara sneered
"I came for the arts college" I said making my point.
"Can you even draw?" Deidara asked narrowing his eyes.
"I can unlike a certain girly man!" I said offended by what he said about my drawing skills.
"what? I am not a girly man! You although are a manly woman though" he said crossing his arms.
"so what? I know I'm a manly woman but at least I grew! I bet you haven grown since you left Iwa" I said raising my voice.
"what did you say?" now Deidara raised his voice.
"i said you're short!" said I sticking out my tongue.
"Well at the least I don't have to be taken care of! When you were younger you were always like "Dei-onii-tan, onii-tan" and "onii-tan don't leave, and onii-tan I need you" " Deidara said mimicking a childish voice.
I was embarrassed.
My face felt hot as everyone's gaze came to me, I sharply stood up and willed myself not to cry. Giving Deidara one last glare I ran out the door and tuned a corner and the next till finally I was lost. I really couldn't care anymore. I cried, tears falling like rain drops sliding down windows.
~*Deidara POV*~
She gave me a glare, I could feel sadness, embarrassment, and hate radiating off her. In her eyes tears were starting to form. Then she ran, she ran out the door slamming it shut. I knew I went too far this time, more than the times I was so many years ago. She must hate me, no she should hate a guy like me.
"Deidara, you should fetch her for class, you have to cause you made her run off." I could hear Sasori say behind me.
"I should but she would probably run away again after she sees me, un" I said turning to Sasori.
"I don't care go get her" Sasori said, his voice dangerously low.
"Fine" I said feeling kind of bad, I did want to apologize to her but I was well scared.
I leave the class room and follow a path I know well. Haru never realizes but she always takes a left on the first corner and then a right, and then go straight for three corners, and left twice, right once, left, right twice. I followed the pattern till I heard sobbing.
Oh man! I made her cry! I thought as I leaned against the wall listening to her cry. It was painful to hear.
"Hey check it out! A crying girl" I heard.
"Leave her alone Kankuro" a girl said.
"so what Tenmari? She's crying it is hilarious! Probably because of a bad break up" Kankuro said.
"Shut up Kankuro" another voice rasped.
I looked over and saw another red head, he reminded me of Sasori.
"Why should I Gaara" Kankuro said, he was a bit stocky looking and beside him was a blonde girl.
"Because I said so" Gaara said.
"Guys, brothers should get along" Tenmari interrupted.
"Shut up! Just because you are our elder sister it doesn't mean you're our mom!" Kankuro said.
Siblings? Really? I looked back and saw Kankuro get near Haru, my heart almost leaped out of my chest.
Calmly I walked out and pulled Haru up giving Kankuro a glare I guided Haru back with me. We were near the classroom when I looked at her face again; tear stains made her eyes look a bit red.
I didn't want them to see Haru like that, reason being I was just too selfish to allow other guys see her look so cute…yea cute was the word.
I took out a handkerchief and soaked it in cold water. I had her put it over her eyes to ease some of the swelling.
"Lie down un" I said while we were sitting on the bench in the halls.
"No" Haru said pouting.
"If you don't I'll show your friends your baby pictures" I warned her.
"Fine scooch over then" Haru said lifting a corner of the kerchief.
"Use my lap as a pillow" I said.
"No!" Haru argued.
"Pictures" I said and finally she lied down. She felt so light, light and cute….an angel. Un an angel.
"Deidara" Haru started
"yea?" I said leaning closer as her voice was soft.
"why did you leave Iwa?" she asked softly.
"cause I had a burden" I said.
"was it me?" she asked.
"No it wasn't you" I said brushing her hair with my fingers I leaned in and gave her a soft peck on her cloth covered nose.
"Did you do something" she asked.
"No it was just your imagination" I said.
~*Haru POV*~
"why did you leave Iwa?" I asked softly mot really wanting to know the answer in case it was because of me.
"cause I had a burden" he said.
"was it me?" I asked, dread coming over me.
"No it wasn't you" he said brushing my hair with his fingers. I felt a slight pressure on my nose.
"Did you do something" I asked.
"No it was just your imagination" he said.
"Oh, just my imagination." I repeated.
