Hey guys, idk what to think of this chapter, it took me 1-2 hours I think? But I hope you enjoy it!
Chapter 2: Familiar Faces
As the two girls walked towards the school, Ino was in shock to see how big the building was. She completely forgot that there were over 2000 students at Konoha high. "Hey Ino? Ino? Earth to Ino..?" Sakura waved her hand at the aqua-eyed girls face. "Oh sorry I sorta blanked out. I mean I forgot that this school was so huge." Ino mumbled to Sakura, starting to get a little nervous. "Oh don't worry Ino you will get used to it very quickly, and also you're starting to remind me of one of my best friends, Hinata." Sakura laughed. "Oh look, there she is now!" Ino looked towards the pink-haired girl's direction and noticed a pale girl with lavender coloured eyes, long dark blue hair with a fringe covering her forehead. Next to her was a tall, olive skinned boy with blonde spiky hair and blue eyes. She then immediately noticed that Hinata's face was red. "Hey Hinata, Naruto!" Sakura yelled at the two teenagers. "This is Ino, she is the new girl in our grade."
"Hey!" Ino smiled. "Hey I'm Hinata and this is... urmm.." Her voice trailed off and her face started going red again. "I'm Naruto it's nice to meet you Ino! And Hinata did you catch a fever? Your face has turned red! Naruto stared at Hinata, their faces only inches away from each other. "Here let me check your temperature." Naruto said as he placed his hand on Hinata's forehead. "Ahh!" The shy girl yelled and fainted. "Oh not again why does she always faint?" The blond idiot questioned, picking her up. "Are you really that stupid, Naruto?" Sakura raised her fist towards him. "Just hurry and take her to the nurse! "Yes okay okay! Bye guys" Naruto squealed carrying Hinata bridal style, running towards the nurse's office. "What just happened..?" Ino said in confusion, looking in the distance seeing the boy running through the crowd.
"Oh don't worry about them two. It happens all the time, you see Hinata really likes Naruto a lot but gets extremely shy around him. And Naruto doesn't realise that she actually likes him after all the times in the past where he's made her go red and faint. He's pretty stupid but I can tell Naruto really cares about her a lot." Sakura explained. "Oh well that's a bit cute he should probably ask-" Ino got cut off when the bell rang. "Okay I'll show you where our home room is!" Sakura smiled. She followed her new friend inside the massive building and 3 storeys later they reach their homeroom. When the two girls walked inside she noticed that everyone was looking towards her. 'Oh no why is everyone looking at me?' She started to become nervous again.
She looked at the back and noticed two guys minding their own business. However one of them was asleep and the other was munching on a large bag of chips. 'Hey those two boys.. Is that who'- "Ino are you okay?" Sakura cut her from her thoughts. "Yeah I'm fine!" She lied, nervous as ever. Then the teacher walked in and started calling out the roll. (The roll will be called in alphabetical order by first names because as you know, some people don't have last names lol)
"Choji Akimichi" "here" the boy called out, talking while eating at the same time. 'Omg that is Choji! But he has definitely gotten bigger' she assumed.
"Hinata Hyuuga" "Um sir she's at the nurse with Naruto at the moment" Sakura informed. "Another fainting incident I'm guessing?" The teacher laughed. "Anyway moving on,
Kiba Inuzuka" "Here" said the boy across the room from her. She looked towards Kiba and noticed distinct red triangle marks on the sides of his cheeks. He had vertical slit-like pupils, messy brown hair and tan skin. Ino couldn't help but notice that he looked very familiar but couldn't figure how. 'I swear I've met the guy before but how?' She then noticed how attractive he was then started to blush.
"Naru- oh that's right he's at the nurse as well.
Neji Hyuuga?" "Here." a fierce voice from the back. 'Hyuuga? Is he related to Hinata?' She turned her back to see a boy with the same eyes and skin colour as Hinata, with A band covering his forehand and his hair out, but tied on the end making it loose. He wore a stern, hard and cold facial expression.
"Sakura Haruno?" "Here!" The pink-haired girl sitting next to her chirped. "Sasuke Uchiha?" There was no response. "Sasuke are you here?" Again no response. Ino then looked at Sakura and she looked a little sad.
"Sakura are you okay?" The blond whispered. "Y-yeah I'm fine!" She lied revealing a fake smile. "I guess he isn't here today, fourth time this month." The teacher said the last part worryingly.
"Shikamaru Nara". Again no response. 'Omg is he away too? And I'm so happy he's in my class!' Ino smiled to herself. The teacher's facial expression changed as grabbed the big ruler off the whiteboard and marched towards the back of the classroom, waking it against the desk belonging to a sleeping boy. 'Yep that's definitely the same Shikamaru I used to know.' She laughed.
"Shikamaru!" Not even the ruler woke him up, the teacher had to yell at the top of his lungs to wake him up. "Ughh sir why do you always have to be such a drag for?" Shikamaru said still half asleep. "Man I wish I could be a cloud. Why does school have to be so troublesome for?" "Shikamaru pay attention or I will send you to Tsunade!"(Tsunade is the principal btw hahaha) The teacher yelled at the boy with cloud envy. Shikamaru still had the same lazy and irritated expression and the same hairstyle with his black hair tied in a spiky pony tail. When the teacher stopped paying any more attention to the unmotivated teen he rested his head back on the desk and closed his eyes. "Anyway back to the roll, Shino Aburame are you here?" "Yes, and that is becau" the boy with the hoodie and glasses (or goggles idk which would be best) got cut off. "Ok that's all I needed to know. I don't need to know your whole life story Shino." The teacher said to the guy with nearly his whole face covered.
"Okay Rock Lee are you" "Here sir!" A boy with a black bob cut hairstyle called out with enthusiasm, not letting the teacher finish his sentence. 'Wow he has really thick eyebrows' Ino thought. "Okay and lastly Tenten" "Here." said a voice from the back. The girl had light brown eyes and brown hair tied into Chinese buns on either side of her head with short fringe-bangs on the sides. She was sitting next to Neji which looked as if she was probably good friends with him or wasn't scared of him. 'Well she must be pretty brave' she assumed.
"Oh I'm so sorry I completely forgot we have a new student joining us today! You there, could you please come up to the front of the classroom?" The teacher asked pointed at me. "Y-yeah" I stuttered. 'Damn I'm turning into Hinata again. Ok don't be nervous' Ino said to herself. She blond girl slowly walked in front of the classroom and everyone except for Shikamaru stared at her.
"Okay class I would like to introduce you to Ino Yamanaka" the teacher smiled. Suddenly her name immediately woke up Shikamaru. His facial expression changed, he was so surprised. He quickly looked at Choji to see if he had noticed which he did as he froze from munching his chips. "Ino!" Shikamaru and Choji yelled at the top of their lunges. Ino looked up and saw her two childhood best friends standing up in excitement. "Hey guys!" The aqua eyed girl waved to the two slackers. 'So they do remember me! Well that's a relief' she smiled to herself. She then scanned around the classroom and her eyes locked at Kiba. He was staring right her then looked away, blushing. 'Wait was he really blushing at me?' She looked in confusion. It was hard to tell if he was because of the red marks on his cheeks. 'Nah I guess he wasn't' she reassured herself. "And my name is Iruka sensei. And this I am your homeroom and English teacher, followed by everyone here, they are all I'm your English class too." The teacher smiled.
He had a scar across is nose and his hair was tied back. He seemed like a pretty cool teacher but strict at times. "Hey guys what did we miss?" The dopey looking boy and Hinata walked in. 'Oh cool they're both in this class too!' Ino waved at the two teens before walking back to her seat. "Oh Ino before you sit, we have a seating plan and obviously the rest of you aren't sitting in the right spot!" Iruka sensei crossed his arms sighing. "I'm sorry Ino but everyone sits in alphabetical order, give this a chance to get to know new people". She was disappointed but so was everyone. All the students then moved in the seating plan and Iruka instructed her to sit between Hinata and Kiba. 'Well at least I kind of know Hinata... And Kiba. Is this some kind of sign?' She thought as she took her seat, becoming nervous again. 'Still, he seems very familiar... Or maybe it's just my imagination'
Hope that was a good chapter, next chapter will be published either later today or tomorrow
