Chapter 4: Sunrise, Sunset.

Neji came to class the next day too early; he sat on his desk and took out an MP3 player to kill time. While listening to some music he stares out the window again. He really liked to observe the scenery when he got the chance.

The clock ticked by as he slowly drifted into his thoughts. He still had no answer as to why he was angry with Sasuke. It wasn't like he should care.

Suddenly, Neji's earphones were pulled out of his ear, giving him a little jump. "Hm...You like this band too?"

Neji looked up to see Sasuke putting the earphones in his ear, looking through his MP3 player. "Give it back" he growled, giving Sasuke a death glare.

"Did you know the drummer is going to leave the band?" Sasuke asked, ignoring Neji's threats. Neji hesitated. "No...That's just a rumor." He stated doubtfully. Sasuke pulled out a piece of paper and wrote down a web address. "Go to this site; the drummer stated he will be leaving the band here." He said, giving Neji the paper. "...Thanks...wait, give me my MP3 player back!" Neji said, forgetting Sasuke had taken his device from him.

He was so drawn into the subject; he almost became too friendly with this jerk. Sasuke gave a grin and tossed the MP3 player back to Neji. "Why are you here so early in the morning?" Sasuke asked, sitting in his own seat.

"That's none of your business. I could ask the same question." Neji sternly said, putting his device away. "...there's nothing else better to do at home anyway." Sasuke said in a slightly more serious tone.

Neji stared at Sasuke's back and remembered he had no one at home living with him. Feeling pity for him, Neji rested his chin on his hand. "I come here early to see the sunrise. And I leave late to see the sunset. That's all." He answered.

Sasuke turned to his direction and was slightly surprised. "...What? I can't like watching that?" Neji asked when Sasuke stared for too long. "No, after Judo, I go to the roof to watch the sun. My house also has a nice view of the sun when it rises." Sasuke slowly said.

Neji began to get nervous. Was the guy he didn't like in the first place actually similar to himself? No, he is nothing like that pretty boy show off.

The door slid open and Shikamaru stuck his head inside. "What, there's only two people here, I told you. You woke up too early Choji" He complained.

"Really? Good morning Sasuke, Neji!" Choji greeted. "...Morning." Neji answered.

"What are you doing?" Shikamaru said, putting his arm on Neji's shoulders. Sasuke's indifferent looks turned into a slight glare. Shikamaru met Sasuke's angry eyes and raised an eyebrow.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" He asked, lazily staring back. Neji looked up to see Sasuke's expression, but he had turned away quickly to hide his face.

Shikamaru shrugged and went to his seat, stealing a piece of Choji's egg from his breakfast. Time passed by and eventually, the entire class had come. The first class they had that day was math. Kakashi sensei had entered the room with his face covered with a mask.

"Sorry guys, I have a slight cold so don't expect me to go over your voices." He softly spoke. "I have everybody's quiz from last time. Those who went below 80 have to stay after school today. Naruto!" Kakashi called out.

Naruto happily skipped over the front, snatching the paper from Kakashi's fingers. His face suddenly turned dull and he dropped his arms. As Kakashi called the next name, Kiba grabbed Naruto's test and laughed.

"Kiba!" Kakashi called out. Kiba had the same reaction Naruto had, happily going to pick up the paper, then suddenly frowning at his test score.

"Sasuke" the transfer student stood up and walked past the gossiping girls. He looked at his paper, grinned, and then sat down. The whispers went fast in the room. "100? How did he get 100? That pop quiz was so hard!" Neji overheard.

"Neji" Kakashi called. Neji walked up to Kakashi and received his quiz. When he turned around, he noticed Sasuke staring at him. He sighed and turned the paper around. 110.

Shocked, Sasuke dropped his quiz and watched Neji sit back down. How did he get a 110?

"Alright. I'll tell you the statistics for this pop quiz. 85% of you have gotten lower than 80, therefore, because I am slightly sick, Neji! Sasuke!" Called Kakashi. The two jumped from their seats. "You two will stay after school and teach them." Kakashi smiled.

"No way! Why those two?!" Naruto complained, agitated at Sasuke's name. "Neji and Sasuke were the top two in this class. The rest of you who got higher than 80 can go home." Kakashi said.

Naruto sadly looked over to Sakura, Shikamaru, and Choji. "Shikamaru and Sakura, I understand, but why Choji?!" Naruto complained. Choji laughed. "I had Shikamaru help me out so I don't have to take summer classes." He said, teasing Naruto.

Neji sighed; this quiz was all on the board previously. There was no reason for failure. After math class ended, Sasuke walked over to Neji. Surprisingly, no girls were surrounding him. "How did you get 110? There was no extra credit…" Sasuke asked.

Neji gave Sasuke his paper and grabbed his bag. "Keep it." He said. Sasuke looked at the paper and saw that Neji had. On one of the last questions, Neji had written "The answer does not exist." with a paragraph of explanations.

The class was looking at Neji's paper, also surprised at the long explanation. Neji had not only found an error in the exam, but also answered it perfectly without flaw. Sasuke gripped Neji's desk, fired up more than ever.

Gym had begun for Neji's class and the weather was quite nice for a jog. Neji closed his eyes and let the wind flow through his hair while thinking this. Sasuke had left the building and noticed Neji's figure standing alone, watching his long silky hair flow.

Neji felt a pat on his shoulder. He was slightly annoyed that someone stopped his little relaxation time. "We are running, let's race." Sasuke said when Neji turned his head to see who it was.

"I don't want to. I'll run normally." Neji rejected, shaking off Sasuke's hand. A CD box was abruptly shoved in front of Neji's face. "This is a secret CD that band created before their first live." Sasuke said, dangling it to tease him.

"How about it? Feel like running now?" He asked Neji. Sasuke saw Neji's arms shake a little. He snatched the CD and grabbed Sasuke's shirt. "J-just this one time. Understand? I won't go easy on you." He threatened looking embarrassed.

Guy sensei, the gym teacher, readied everybody on the line. "Remember, this is only a light run, it's not a race, but try to run as fast as you can!" he laughed, contradicting his own words.

Neji and Sasuke readied themselves on the same line, then the whistle blew and they were off.

"What the—hey! Why are those two running so fast?!" Naruto asked. "Haha! That is the springtime of youth! There is so much energy in you youngsters!" Guy laughed. "Sensei! Alright me too!" Lee cried, coming out of nowhere.

"Lee…He's not even in our class…I feel a slight urge to race, want to go for it Naruto?" Kiba asked. "Of course! Ready? Go!" Naruto shouted, running ahead.

Sasuke was running as fast as he could. He paced his breathing and made sure he ran properly. He looked over to Neji who was running next to him and widened his eyes. Neji had a blank expression on his face, not tired nor panting at all from the running.

He watched as Neji passed him, running a good 2 feet in front. Sasuke grit his teeth and continued to run as fast as he could.

"Ah, my ball!" The two students heard a kid say. A yellow ball rolled out of a park after Neji ran past it, rolling to where Sasuke was going to run.

In a split second, a child had appeared in front of the park to retrieve his ball and Sasuke was going to run him over.
