Chapter 3

The Social???

"Da1phne got up in shock and then suddenly remembered that I'm not from here. "The Social is when the two high schools come together and well, socialize." She explained, "It takes place everytime the schools open fro holidays." I nodded y head in understanding.
"So that's what the boys were talking about at lunch today." I replied.

"So you think you going?" she asked.

"Well it sounds cool. I'll ask my people." I said referring 'my people' to my parents.

We chatted for a few more minutes until a black '09 Audi with black tinted windows pulled up to us I knew I was my ride. I hopped in the back seat and closed the door

"- Sasuke?" I was in total shock. No wonder he flew out in a rush earlier, he had to go to the heard quarters or whatever they called and come back to pick me up. I smiled to myself.

"What?" he asked harshly.

"Wow, is that the way you greet your boss's daughter. Big props to you" I said sarcastically. He sighed but didn't comment.

On our way to Malachi's school we drove in silence, yea talk about anti social but anyways I plugged in my ipod and quietly mouthed the lyrics to 'If You Seek Amy' Sasuke jus smirked.

Malachi was sounded by four girls. I took out my earphones. I had to wipe my eyes before I could actually believe what I was seeing. Malachi coolly walked to the car and jumped into the front seat. "Yo Sasuke, what's up?' he greeted him as he wiped his hand on his transformers shirt.

"Nuttin, so I guess you're the pretty boy now?" Sasuke asked as he stirred out of the school building sirking

"Naw, well you know what I mean.." said Malachi boastfully. I rolled my eyes.

"If only they grew up and see what an ass you are." I replied putting back my earphones in my ears to avoid hearing what they had to say.

Minutes later I walked in the kitchen. It was dark green with olive green cupboards bordering the walls both at the ceiling and on the floor. She opened the microwave which was built into one of the ceiling cupboard. "Good afternoon s. Brooks"

"Oh, I forgot, we didn't introduce ourselves properly. I am Rachel, not Ms. Brooks"

"Oh," she said as she put down the dish which was covered by another dish from the microwave, "Ok then, I am Anastasia." She said uneasily.

"Wow, that's a long name." I lied, I just didn't like it.

"Well," she said not noticing me being rude and if she did notice, she ignored it, "you can just call me Ana."

"Ana" I repeated. I shrugged, "that's cool."

I saw a look of relief. Maybe she was afraid of me. I smiled, that's the way it was suppose to be. I vow not to be treated the same way I was when I was living in Milk and Honey.

I walked up stairs to my room. I threw my bag on my black and white stripped desk with purple accessories and threw myself on the matching bed set…on the bed. I twisted and turned uncomfortably on the bed, not that I was uncomfortable but I was bored. I picked up the land line and dialed my dad's office number which was on a piece of paper.

"Hello, good afternoon" said a female voice.

"Yeah, um can I please speak to my dad?" I asked.

"Who is speaking?"

"His daughter"

"Nice, what's the name."

"Rachel"

"Okay, please hold."

"What have I been doing?" I heard a beep.

"Hello?" said a deep voice.

"Dad?" I asked. In sat up.

"Rachel how was your first day?" he asked excitedly. I relayed everything to him, well except the sitting with four boys at one table.

"Well you sounded like you had fun."

"Yeah. So Dad can I take a walk around town and what time are you coming home?" I asked finally getting to the point why I had called him.

"Sure, but just don't get lost. Ask for directions and about what time I'm coming home hmm, lets say around 8"

"Kay. Bye" I said and hung up.

I ran down the drive way hoping I wouldn't fall and if I did, I hoped that no one saw.

"Rachie, hold up" called Malachi skating down to reach me. "We are in serious need of Internet."

"You're asking me." I replied as I pressed the button wired to the huge iron green gate. :Ana, open the gate please" I said speaking through the thingy. 2 second the gate opened automatically. We started walking left. "New girl?" called some one.

"Rachel, yeah?" I asked

"Wow, you live right next to me" she said. Now I remember her. She had her Cell in her hand as she pointed it to Neji's house. She had long navy hair and Blue eyes and was still in her school shirt and a pair of red Bermudas.

"Hinnata?' I asked uncertain if I had the right name in my head, she nodded. "But isn't that Neji's house?" I asked

"Yeah, we're cousins and we also live together. I nodded, "well bye." She walked off and returned to her conversation on her phone. I really wish I had my friends form home to talk to.

We were in front of Pretzel Palace when I decided to go to the mall. "How about the arcade?" Malachi suggested.

"How about we split and meet back in 15"

"Cool" and he blazed off. I walked towards the huge building. It was like the size of Milk and Honey it self. A dog came running and barking up to me. I recognized it.

"Hey, boy" said Kiba quickly pulling back the dog seconds before it jump on me. "Hey Chica" said Kiba. I smiled. "Don't worry, he barks but don't bite, sometimes"

"So why don't you get I don't know a leash." I said

"Please, a leash Chica." He replied which obviously meant NO

"Hey Kiba, I'm going now" said a tall skinny boy with brown shaggy hair and a green shirt on, he had a brown dog beside him, about the same size of Akacamaru.

"Yeah but first I want you to meet, a girl I met today" Kiba said. The way how Kiba said 'a girl I met today' seemed as if he meant that we meet and we fell in love. "Shaggy this my new classmate…"

"Rachel" I said

"Yeah and Rachel, this is my cousin Shaggy and Scooby" said Kiba.

"The dog is your cousin too?" I asked. I wanted to laugh.

"You're not from here are you?" Shaggy asked. I shook my head.

"You see Chica, Shaggy and I are apart of a clan called the Inuzuka Clan, the dog Clan, where they become apart of us." Explained Kiba seriously. I was the first time I have heard Kiba spoke of ….smart.

"Wow, that's impressive" I said. I felt bad, they knew where they were coming from when I don't know where I am coming from.

"Yeah, so bye" said Shaggy and the …brothers I suppose walked off.

"So I guess it's just you and me Chica" said Kiba smiling.

"I take that as a good thing I suppose"

"Yeah and plus I'm going to treat you." The dog barked. "Not for you, for the girl."

I followed him to the escalator. I hate them (seriously I do).

"Colourful Cream" I read the sign in the busy and large food court which was on the second floor. I leaned on the counter of Colourful Cream when I realized that it was an Ice Cream store.

"Yo Kiba." Said the boy behind the counter, "how can I help you?"

"Not me, the Chica here, she's my friend." Replied Kiba.

"Okay, what do you want?" said the dude.

"Do you have Mocha Almond?" I asked

"Yeah, sure we do. 1 scope or two?

"Just one please"

"Okay." He went to the back room and came out with a sugar cone. We walked to a table with three chairs. I started on my ice cream and it was so yummy that I forgot my manners and ate greedily. "I just love ice cream, especially this one" I said wiping my mouth. Kiba chuckled.

"I can see that" he said.

Crap

"Oh. Sorry" I said in embarrassment.

"No, it's just that ice cream with coffee in it, someone actually eats that." I purposely greedily ate some more of it and let out a little laugh. "Then call me weird" I said. He shook his head, "No I wont, 'cause you're not" Kiba said then he got distracted. I followed his gaze. He was looking at a girl with long blonde hair getting up and walking out of the food court.

I checked my watch, 20 minutes had passed. 'oh shoot I have to go." I said getting up. Kiba, finally snapping out got up to, "Why?" he asked

"I have to meet Malachi"

"Oh, so you have some one special already?"

"No. He's my little brother."

Ino'spov

"Did you just see Kiba just take off with that Brown head just awhile a go" said Lola inspecting a dress.

"Yeah, so?" I said looking through the rack of dresses.

"Well, I want back Kiba, and that Brown girl. Him." Sahe said.

"Do you think that this dress would make e look fat?" I asked ignoring what Lola was sayng..

"Ino?"

"What?" I asked irritably.

"Nevermind"

"Good. So do you think that this dress would make look fat?" I asked again. She rolled her eyes but I ignored it.

"Ino, didn't you say that you have a dress already?" asked Sakura.

Author's pov

"Who told you that?" asked Ino.

"Who else but you" Sakura replied. "Any ways, Lola I saw Kiba with Rachel."

"And she had brown and is brown?" asked Lola.

"Mmhhmm, that's the one."

"And she goes to Leaf Village High?"

"Yeah, that's Rachel, she new and in my class."

"Shout up. And Kiba was like All over her."

"And not only Kiba, Neji. Sasuke and" Sakura turned to Ino who's back was facing the two obviously not interested in what they were talking about, "Naruto."

"What about Naruto?" Ino asked turning around.

"That same Brown girl, Rachel who was with Kiba was messin' 'round with your man Ino" said Lola. Ino was angry, she placed her hand on her hip push back her hair. "Sakura. What exactly was Naruto doing with… Rachel?" Ino asked

"A lot of things and who knows" she said

Rachel's pov

"Are you sure you said Pretzel Palace?" asked Kiba

"Yeah." I said and fell silent, "Kiba, so who are you taking to this Social?" He laughed.

"You see Chica, I don't ask girls out on events like this, they ask me out." He replied smirking.

"Hey Kiba, have you seen Aang?" asked a girl pasing by. She had smooth darkish brown skin and long plait in the back of her head. She had blue eyes and hint of worry in her voice.

"Hey Katara this is my friend…"

"Rachel" I said offering my hand as she did the same.

"I;m not surprised he dosent even know your name. I'm`Katara"

"Hi."

"So have you seen hi?"

"No."

"Hey Jet," Katara said stopping a boy passing by (For the avatar watchers, you remember hi right?), "Have you seen Aang?"

"Nope." He said

"Hey Jet, where you been all this Summer?" asked Kiba

"Just chilling with my ancient homies" he said. I like Jet he is so cute, I just couldn't stop looking in his eyes. Crap!

"Ancient homie?" Kiba asked

"I think he means, grandparents." I said.

"Kiba, your girl smart" he said smiling at me.

"Smarter than you thnk" I said flirtatiously.

"Yo Chica, your lil bro" reminded Kiba.

"Yeah, I have to go." I said

"Your bro is the new kid?" he asked.

"Depending."

"It's him, you two look alike, he said that he's Brooks."

"That's him"

"Then don't worry, he aint finish for now."

"Why is that"

"He's trying to beat the high score at Pok-Rat"

"Yo, Seriously!" exclaimed Kiba, "He's trying to beat Alex?"

"Yup"

"So what are we doing here?" said Kiba who started running off then followed by Jet.

We were inside the arcade where everywhere was carpented, the walls, floor and the ceiling and with the A/C blazing. There were about 100 games categorized and almost all of the games were emptied. We walked towards the crowd. I parted through the crowd consisting of different age groups. "Malachi." I called.

"Oh Hi Rachel, you can go home if you want to. I have a highscore to beat." He said not shifting his gaze from the screen.

"Okay, whatever." And I headed outside.

"Hey Rachel" called jet from behind. I turned around and smiled. Maybe this it, where he asks to accompany me home and I'll invite him inside, alone, kay maybe Ana might be downstairs but still. I really admired the fact that – wait no- I loved the fact that we will be together. My headed was loaded with thoughts of what was going to happen.

"Your lil bro is rocking. You should be proud to even related to him." He said and patted my shoulder and waled off.

What the frig!

"Yeah."

I walked out with disappointment written all over my face. I was passing Pretzel Palace again to go home when Lee bumped into me.

"Hi Rachel, right" he said

"Yeah, Lee?"

"Yea, are you ok?"

"Yeah, I'm good. Thanks for asking."

"Cool. You know Naruto right?" he asked as he brushed his hair out of his face which the wind had disturbed.

"Yeah, I know him. Why?"

"Have you seen hi anywhere?"

"No, not since school"

"Cool, well if you see him tell him that I'm looking for him" I nodded and he ran off.

Its funny that everyone is looking for Naruto.

"Pssh" called a male. I looked around and I saw Naruto.

"Hi Naruto, Le-"

"Yeah, I heard."

"Kay then" I said

"Want me to follow you home?"

"Um it's kay, I really don't want to bother you"

"Okay where you live?"

"Leaf Hill?"

"Come on" he said pulling my hand gently, "My step mom wouldn't mind e being late today."

"Thank you Naruto" I said when we reached number 24.

"No prob" he said smiling that same wide smile he gave me earlier, I just had smile back. Then it just like every thing just blanked out, it was just Me and Naruto in perfect silence.

"Well…I got to go" he said.

"Oh, sure and once again thank you."
