Love and Lies
Chapter three: Friends and Enemies
Berry sat in the class room, lost in her own thoughts because the teacher had not arrived yet. The students were casually talking about stuff and Berry couldn't help noticing the girls shrieking and looking at the very end of the room.
She turned and saw two boys sitting at the very last rows. Berry rolled her eyes and went to her normal sitting position.
Popular duffers… What were their names again? I did check in the school website… oh yeah Sasuke and Neji…
Berry stared as the students began to settle down and the chemistry teacher came in. She was wearing black rimmed glasses and had grey eyes. Her black hair was tied up in a bun with pencils in them. She looked in her late thirties and age showed on her face.
Berry opened her book and listened to the teacher as she started a lecture.
----Lunch---
"Did you see the new student?" Jen asked, eagerly, as she took her lunch and sat under a huge and thick oak tree.
"No, she wasn't in any of my classes," Hinata replied, taking a bite of her sandwich as she rested her back against the bark.
Blaire fell under the shade of the tree and groaned, loudly.
"I am going to sleep, wake me up when the lunch is over ok?" she said, closing her eyes.
Hinata and Jen looked at her and rolled her eyes.
"Don't you want to talk to the new girl?" Jen asked.
"No, I want to do something exciting and I can't do anything because I am in school and I don't want to get detention," Blaire muttered
There was a minute silence.
Berry breathed heavily and pushed back her hair that had came lose a long time ago. She flung herself over another branch and pulled herself up.
She was climbing a certain huge Oak tree and was trying to get on the highest branch so then she could walk over to the roof.
And yes, she was nuts. She only wanted to go to the roof and stand on the railings, not caring that she will lose her balance, fell and kill herself BUT enjoy when the wind will hit her face. Besides, she needed a better network for her communicator so she could surf the internet too.
Her blue blazer's sleeves were tied around her neck in an untidy way and her hands were slightly scratched because of the swift climbing.
She reached the highest branch and stood on top of it and looked down. She could see everything and everyone; the school's huge grounds, the football court, the gym, the swimming pool, the cafeteria building which was empty because everyone preferred their lunches outside, the huge tennis courts and a number of other stuff.
She narrowed her eyes at a group of girls who were giggling and shrieking behind a boy who was wearing a golden lined blazer. He was on round and he soon disappeared into a building.
'If the head boy or girl catches me on a roof, I am dead,' Berry thought, as she gulped and walked on the branch towards the roof, trying her best to keep her balance. Thank to god, she reached the roof and jumped on it, without falling.
A sudden gust of cold air hit her face and her hair began to fly, slightly.
Now for the railings.
Smiling, she flung her leg on top of the steep but flat railing and stood on it. For a second she thought she was going to fall but she again, thankfully didn't. Gaining her balance, Berry just stood there, enjoying the land below her. She pulled out her I pod and started to listen to some rock genre songs.
Neji, Shikamaru and Naruto climbed the dark stairs. Naruto again and again, cursing under his breathe about to many stairs.
"Shut up, Naruto, we come here every school day, so stop moaning," Neji said as they stopped in front of a door.
Shikamaru took out some keys and jingled them in an irritating manner.
"So where is Sasuke?" he asked
"Sasuke said that as he is the head boy now, he will have to take a round and come here later," Neji replied.
"So we wait for him here?" Naruto panted
"Yeah, but outside," Neji said as Shikamaru opened the door. He pushed it and everyone made their way through it.
They were standing on a roof of a building. An Oak tree grew at one side, almost reaching the roof it self. The weather was calm and the wind blew. It was quiet and peaceful, no sign of any fan girls or girls except for one who was standing on the railing…
Wait.
A red and black haired girl stood on the railings, the blazer's sleeves tied around her neck, her hair flying slightly. She was listening to her I pod; she was too lost in the music and her own thoughts to notice the boys standing behind her, staring at her in a shocked expression.
"Where the hell did she came from?" Naruto asked, recovering from his shock
"Yeah, the door was locked," Shikamaru said, staring at her thin waist.
Neji frowned.
"It's forbidden to come on roofs," he said
"It is? Then why are we here?" Naruto asked
"Wow, she is cute, who the hell is she?" Shikamaru asked
There was a minute silence.
"She must be the new student," Neji said
"Oh yeah, can we push her?" Naruto asked, eagerly
"ARE YOU NUTS SHE WILL DIE IF WE DO!!" Shikamaru shouted, hitting Naruto on his head.
"So?" Naruto asked, rubbing his head
Neji smirked.
"Well she is cute and all and I don't want her to die," Shikamaru replied, casually.
Naruto grinned and then looked again at the girl again.
"She doesn't even know we are here," he said
Suddenly the door opened and a cold blacked haired boy stepped on the roof. He stopped when he saw the girl standing on her railings. He looked at his friends, a question look in his eyes.
"We have no idea," Naruto said, truthfully.
Sasuke frowned.
"What do we do with her? She is new and she is in our place," Neji said, angrily.
Sasuke pushed his black locks, thoughtfully.
"How did she came up here in the first place," he asked
"Don't know, maybe she climbed the tree or something," Shikamaru said, staring at her back.
Sasuke closed his eyes and shook her head. Climbed the tree? That sounds impossible because only ten minutes have gone since the lunch period has started.
"So what do we do?" Neji asked, eager for some actions.
"Tap her and tell her to get lost," Sasuke said, as he opened his eyes and checked her out…
Small, timid, cute, polite… lovely hair… WHAT THE HELL AM I THINKING!!!??
Sasuke shook his head.
Naruto ran forward, stretched his arm and shook Berry's shoulder.
Berry jumped, shocked and scared and turned her head to see those boys staring at her. Her eyes darted towards a door. She switched of her I Pod and looked at them, shocked.
"There was a door?" she asked, surprised.
The boys didn't reply except Sasuke stepped up and gave her a cold glare.
"Get lost, this is our place," he said
Berry stared at him and then smirked.
"I thought it was against the rules to climb roofs, head boy," she said
Sasuke went red but recovered.
Naruto gave her a shove.
Berry waved her arms frantically as she lost her balance. A shock expression came over her perfect features as she fell off the roof…
The boys looked, shocked. Naruto gulped. Sasuke glared.
"I didn't mean to!" Naruto shouted, defensively.
Berry fell from the roof and tried to grab anything that came into her way. She tried grabbing the branches but she was falling to fast and the branches were hurting her hand. She looked around and saw a water pipe on the side of the building. Gulping, she grabbed the water pipe with both her hands.
Her hands started to scream in pain, she gritted her teeth but thankfully landed on the ground, safely.
Berry gulped, angrily and looked up at the roof and saw four figures, staring at her.
Losers!
Berry looked at her hands, scratched and bloody. She looked around and saw three girls staring at her while sitting under the shade of the tree.
Berry walked over to them and collapsed beside Jen who was staring at her.
"THOSE LOSERS!" Berry yelled on top of her lungs.
Hinata, Jen and Blaire sweat dropped.
"You are Berry right?" Hinata asked.
"Yeah I am Berry and I am very angry! That Naruto kid just pushed me off the roof!!" she shouted, taking out her hanky and rubbing the blood off her hands.
Blaire smirked and looked up at the roof.
"Nice landing," she said
"Thanks,"
"We haven't really introduced ourselves, I am Jen Toucan, this is Hinata Hyuuga and Blaire Jun," Jen introduced herself and her friends.
Berry nodded and smiled at them.
"And something tells me that we are the only ones who hate those bakas up there," she said, scowling at the thought.
They nodded. Berry smirked.
"Well, I don't know about you guys but I am going to take my sweet 666 revenge," Berry said, in a dark voice.
"666 revenge?" Hinata asked, confused.
"666 is a devil's sign," Jen said, looking at the leaves.
"So what really happened?" Blaire asked eagerly.
Berry told her new friends about the roof thing and how she had insulted Sasuke…
"Wow, did you see that landing?" Shikamaru asked awe-struck.
"Yeah, she just landed like that! Amazing!" Naruto yelled
Sasuke and Neji frowned, confused.
"Don't do it again Naruto, she could have been killed," Sasuke said
"Why the hell are you concerned?" Naruto asked, confused.
Sasuke pushed back his hair and leaned against a wall.
"I am not concerned about her life, I am concerned about ours. We might get into serious trouble," Sasuke said as Shikamaru and Naruto walked off from the railings.
Neji stood there for a second, staring at the grounds when he suddenly saw Berry walked under the tree and sit with some other girls.
Neji smirked at his cousin, Hinata but his eyes darted to the female sitting next to her.
Her blue hair shone and her hazel eyes twinkled. Neji stared at her, mesmerized by her pureness and her beauty.
"Neji?"
Neji turned and saw his friends staring at him.
"Sorry I zoned out," he said, with another glance at the girl, he walked away from the railings and started to chat with his friends.
Happiness is just a word to me, a word without emotions.
