Chapter 2
Naya's Point of view
She stared at her favorite teacher in pure shock. 'How could she DO this to her? She didn't deserve it!' Temari just looked at her and smiled. This smile held no hatred, like the ones she had directed at Konohamaru previously, but were kind and caring, and slightly regretful.
'I hope she regrets doing that' I thought bitterly. Temari just smiled at the class, and said something that made her want to kill Konohamaru even more.
"Thanks to Konohamaru's outburst, we will not be using the broad swords today. I'm sorry class. You are dismissed." Everyone's eyes widened so much that everyone started to look like flies. Then came raw anger. Naya smiled and thought a new, and very excellent thought. 'She won't need to teach Konohamaru, because he'll be dead by morning!'
Naya almost skipped out of the classroom, but she was stopped by Temari. She looked at her with such intensity, she wanted to turn away from her favorite teacher, but was held by a rough grip on her arm.
"Darling, I want to talk to you about Konohamaru. He is unruly, and he will definitely try to make you upset. Don't let it get to you. Handle him with a firm grip, and when he does something wrong, correct it IMMEDIATELY. Otherwise, he won't take you seriously. I chose you to do this, not only because you're my best student, but when you become Genin, you need to be able to work with everyone. While you work with almost everyone, he would be your most severe downfall." The grip on her arm was released, and she mechanically walked to her next class, while she processed the words that were just spoken to her.
'She wanted her to become Konohamaru's FRIEND? This is so twisted.' As she entered the new classroom, she didn't make eye contact with anyone. She just sat in her seat, and hoped that Konoha's History would drown out thoughts on Konohamaru. At least until she had to go tutor him…
Konohamaru's Point of View
I sat down in one of the seats in the back of the massive library, right behind one of the bushy plants. This was my favorite seat, because it was right in front of the air conditioner, and I could also fire spit balls at the librarians without being recognized. I chuckled and searched my binder for my straw, and took out the homework assignment from last night for history class.
I had done the homework for once, but didn't want to break my reputation of the worst grades in school, so I would go with the excuse 'lost it,' and be done with the situation. School didn't matter that much, anyway. It took Naruto, (No fans, I did not forget Naruto in the grand scheme of things,) several extra years to complete school, and I want to follow him in his footsteps entirely.
I aimed my spit ball launcher, and managed to pelt the librarian in the back of the neck. The librarian he had hit just looked up, looked the library over, and fell back asleep. The only thing he said was a mutter, but it was still understandable, 'Troublesome.' Did the librarian LIVE off of that phrase, because he used it a lot?
Suddenly, the bell rang, and my time in the Library was done. I hauled up my school bag, and walked towards the last class of the day. Math. I swear, Math was the subject made up of by the Devil. It just didn't make sense. E=MC²? Doesn't that mean E could equal ANYTHING! Stupid Einstein and his theory of relativity. I could do fractions just fine, but we were doing percents today. How do percents help you in life? I mean, who wants to make a pie chart? What were they used for? I shook my head and walked into the almost full classroom.
My gaze drifted to the clock on the wall, it slowing down so much that it made a snail with a broken leg look fast. Oops. Snails don't have legs. Oh well. If they did, I'm sure they would break them often, and they would be even slower.
My attention was refocused when I thought I heard the worst words in the history of the universe- Pop Quiz. When I looked at the teacher, he just nodded and smiled- maybe, his pupil-less eyes boring into my skull. He definitely confirmed my thoughts. He also knew that I was totally unprepared, and that I was going to be very vocal with my protests. But when I opened my mouth, he just glared, his almost-smile gone.
The girl in front of me giggled at my displeasure. What was it with girls and giggling at my suffering? Didn't they have hearts? I shook the thoughts away, as the evil test of torture landed in front of me. At the bottom of the page was a note from Neji-sensei.
Dear Konohamaru,
If you fail this test, you will be held back a year. The only way you can weasel your way out of this one if you do happen to fail, is to ace the final exam on your own (and I doubt you could,) or to accept a tutor. This is your choice. Even if you do not fail this test, I suggest a tutor anyway. You have a D- average.
With caution,
Neji-sensei
He looked at the letter with shock. ANOTHER tutor. No way! He still didn't want to repeat the grade, though. That would mean another year with Temari, with Neji, and especially with Ino. Ugh. Another year with that bubbly, gossiping, high-pitched girl would truly drive me mad! So I looked at the teacher, underlined tutor, and handed him the empty test.
He looked at it and smiled. Then he turned to look at me, the smile no longer gracing his features, but there was a slight frown. He was thinking. Then he smiled evilly. It reminded Me slightly of Temari, so I shivered slightly, with my eyes wide. He could not be thinking- oh but he was. I watched in dismay as he wrote out Naya's name on the white sheet. I guess that test really is the Evil Test of Torture. He looked at me and mouthed 'Today, after school.' Then he proceeded to walk towards the raised hand in the front of the room.
I just glared at his back until class was over. I was sure he noticed, and hoped that he realized that if looks could kill, he would be dead right now. Even he realization from earlier could not calm his racing heart. This was going to be the worst year EVER!
"Class, I want you to hand in your tests, and to study. Your final Exam is on Friday. Remember!" Neji-sensei made an effort to emphasize the word 'remember.' Konohamaru chuckled to himself as he thought about how, despite Neji's constant reminding, about half of the class would forget to study.
