'Stay a child , while you can be a child' Stephen
The morning sprung and funnily enough I was the first one awake , I made my brothers breakfast,since they also had school . My brothers are younger then me , one ten and then other five. Tahrib and Tashfik , yep . That's what they are called . Oh the Asian names , how hard to pronounce!
"Whose the really loud snoring boy?"Tahrib asked . I stared at him.
"A friend."I replied simply , handing him his cereal.
"A friend? Can't believe mum let you,"He sighed.
"Well he has no where else to go." I muttered.
"What's his name?"
"Naruto."
"Naruto isn't that the name of that guy from the anim-"
"Oh no , sorry it's Jeff."I quickly stopped him . Tahrib seemed convinced at least . I let out a large heavy sigh . I am so glad.
Stomping down the stairs was the blonde , giving off a yawn . He was in his uniform which looked messy and well not smart or anything. His tie was uneven , his collar was puffed out , half of his top buttons were undone , at least his trousers looked okay. I handed him a black messenger bag , I used to take it to school but now I don't anymore. "Your books and lunch are in there , after school we're going into town to buy you some clothes." I said. His head was whirling around , his eyes still tired and cold , he approached closer to me , before letting his head drop onto my shoulders.
"I'm tired.."His voice whispered. My eyes widened lightly ,I didn't like the fact he was so close as I took a step back ,so his head dropped.
"C'mon Naruto!"I clapped my hands , nice and loud as his head soon shot up from the loud noise. I put my shoes on quickly , he did the same lazily doing his shoelaces. I smiled pitifully, before opening the door , the winter wind soon hit me and so the lazy boy shivered.
We continued to walk , he was a lot slower then usually. "Naruto , we're going to be late for school at this rate,"I murmured. Grabbing his arm and shaking him.
"I want to sleep!"
"Well , you should of thought about that before enrolling in our school."I hissed.
"You're so mean!"He cried back.
"I'm not mean,"I started. "Just telling you the truth."
"You're just like Sakura-chan! Bossy and mean."He pouted. I continued to walk .
"By the way , if someone says are you Naruto from the anime or manga , just say no , if I'm not there obviously. You have Science with Zulaikha by the way." I decided to mention . He started to catch up with me.
"Wait! That really scary girl you hang out with?"
"Yep."
"B-But! No! Tanha , why can't I be in your Science class?"He whined helplessly , grabbing a hold of my arm. I turned to him and so he quickly took off his hand.
"Well , Science is in sets just like Maths and Languages are , for Science if your new you usually start at bottom , if it's too easy for you , you go to the next group and so on, soon you'll be on top with me and the others if you work hard,"I explained. He let out this childish raspberry. I couldn't help but giggle and I saw that he had a smile of satisfaction . "Just don't get Zulaikha angry, don't call her Zuzu or try and argue with her , trust me." I breathed in . "You'll die." His eyes widened. "Just kidding~"I sang.
The first morning had blasted off , just like that. I was thankful for it. I wondered if Naruto was okay , he did have Science with Zulaikha. With the others , Po , Ruth , Harriet and Ellie we waited outside the room for them two. The door opened , some students walked past quickly with hops and shouts. Everyone was happy it was lunchtime , where was Naruto and Zulaikha anyway? We saw the little short girl arriving with a happy smile , almost a devilish smile and behind her was Naruto , he had a cut by his lip and a shocked face.
"So how was it?"I asked only smiled , just smiled. She continued to walk . I turned to Naruto.
"It was horrible! She's the scariest person in the world , she stuck pencils in my back! She made sure I was in pain! I just..gah! I couldn't fight back , she's just so fast!" He was hyperventilating , I rubbed his shoulder with a helpless smile. Following the rest , Paulina soon joined us.
"So Narut- I mean Jeff , which part of America are you from?"She asked.
"Oh , A-merica? Well I'm from the lea-"
"L.A! He is from Los Angeles , you know."I interrupted. Po raised a brow and then seemed she understood , with her hands behind her head.
"Wow! That's so cool , you lived with the celebs!"Her squeaky voice soon perked up. I was so glad she didn't think too deeply about it , it was strange. Paulina was someone who'd keep asking questions to an extent it would break me , but she wasn't and I was glad since I didn't want to explain about this. Whilst Naruto and Paulina had their conversation I looked down, I blocked the two out , I didn't know what to add to their conversation , all I knew was that I needed to save Naruto before he let out any secret information which is kept a secret. I bit my lip , I didn't like the sound of having to tackle another adventure , frowning I continued to walk soon bumping into someone.
I gazed up and soon grew red. It was the most perfect boy in the world! To me anyway , at least he didn't know. He had the perfect skin , the perfect eyes and hair. Okay , that was totally out of character. But this was the boy I had a tiny , weeny crush on. I was teased about it by the whole class for a day , even though I looked as if I didn't care. This boy had this light brown skin, with dark eyes and then dark brown hair , he was really good at art and music . We had a few classes together , like English , Maths and Science , but he never noticed me. This was Sam. It was cliche.A lot of girls liked him , a lot of girls fancied him so I was nowhere close to being his girlfriend! I'm pretty sure he hates me anyway though , since on the first day I told him to 'get the hell out of my way,' in the meanest way possible! It wasn't just his looks , but the way he talked and the way he acted around others , he was kind but very sturdy and funny. To me he was perfect and he was perfect to other people to. A lot of people knew , so it wasn't all me being a stalker , however I doubt I'll ever get my fairy tale ending like in movie and cliche books , I didn't mind that though , I enjoy admiring him from afar.
I didn't have a chance.
"Sorry,"I muttered. He blinked and smiled with the don't-worry-about-it face , shuffling beside me and walking off with his friends. Paulina giggled and Naruto had a questioning look on his face.
"That's Tanha's little crush,"She giggled.
"Be quiet!"I hissed. She held her hands in defense mode and continued laughing. "He isn't , not anymore!" I harshly lied before over taking them.
I waited outside the school gate waiting for Naruto who was still talking to our Geography teacher about the homework which was set. I soon saw the blonde haired boy skipping over to me. "She's so nice!" He chuckled.
"You've got to be kidding me , she's..never mind , let's get going we should get home before dark,"I commanded he nodded , I felt something hit my back . "Gack!" I stared back to see Paulina.
"Looks like we're walking home together!"She exclaimed.
"No."
"Why nooot?"She whined.
"Because me and..Jeff are going to town so-"
"Let me join you! It will be fun," I stared at Naruto who nodded.
"I don't see why not."I sighed, she started to flail her arms before dragging both me and our little Jeff , AKA Naruto out of the gates.

"This skirt looks nice! Tanha you should totally try it on!"Paulina exclaimed , grabbing the black pencil skirt and hovering it over me. I shook my head , pushing it away.
"Naruto , go look for things you like."I ordered. "I-I-I mean Jeff!" Nice save (!) Luckily Po ignored nodded with a salute soon rushing away. "Make sure it is cheap!"I shouted. I didn't have that much money you know.
"Naruto would be a good nickname for Jeff , right?"She asked.
"Uh , yeah . I guess so."I said quietly.
"So Naruto it is!"She laughed, looking through the clothing. I rubbed the back of my neck and laughed nervously. We searched through the girls aisle not saying a word. I didn't know what to talk about. Paulina was squealing at the pretty dresses and all that . I turned around to see where the blonde haired boy was.
"By the way,"I jumped by her voice turning around to see her bright eyes meet my dark ones. "You can tell me anything you know? I know you're hiding something."Her voice became dark , scary almost evil. "And , you know what I do if I don't find out something , right?"Her voice chilling , creeping down my neck. They had a term for this kind of thing , yandere right?!
I laughed nervously. "What are you talking about , why would I hide something from you?"
She raised a brow and just shrugged. Naruto soon came back with one orange top and some jeans. I dropped my head , snatching them from his hands , he flinched.
"Is this all you're going to wear ?!"I laughed, I mimicked his laugh , inches away from punching him before breathing in calmly. "Okay , okay. Let's find you some more clothes. Naruto , in this world if you wear the same clothes forever you're going to be cold many things,"I mentioned.
"Yeah , like tramp, homeless boy all of those things!"Paulina added to the atmosphere.
"Oh-okay! Let's do this then!"The blonde boy said , grabbing a hold of my hand towing me along.
"D-Don't touch me!"
It was soon dark , it got dark early in the winter. Mum would probably have a fit about it once I got home , if she was at home anyway. My mum was pretty scary. "You going home Po?"I questioned. Her eyes fluttered slightly , staring up at the streetlight. You could see the particles of dust which floated through the light to her face , her face glowing from the brightness. She smiled.
"Yeah , I'll be heading home. Take care now!"Her voice was high-pitched as usual , walking past me. "You better tell me,"Her voice turning dark all of a sudden. She soon skipped away with a happy laugh. That girl was to scary.
"Tell her what?"Naruto said peeping his head.
"Nothing."I answered. "Come on!"I urged with the bags in my hand.
Quietly making it to my house, opening the door to smell my mums fresh cooking. "I'm home,"I quietly said.
"I'm home too!"Naruto exclaimed.I could hear my mum humming quietly in the kitchen , I peered round the corner to see my mother , luckily she was happy.
"Well , it's past dark Tanha , you should been home earlier~"She sang. Maybe she was poisoned or something , or acting just because we had a guest in our house. I still can't believe she let Naruto stay though . It's insane! "Anyway quickly get changed and you know do your stuff,"She ordered . I nodded. "How are you.. erm Jeff was it? How are you doing?" She asked sweetly. I hate her when she did this , why doesn't she act all innocent like she does now ?
"I'm doing good thanks!"The enthusiastic boy cheered.
I was soon out of the shower , drying myself . Naruto was also in my cousins room which is now his room , looking at his new clothes or so I thought. The clothes we bought were very matching to his old ones , his pajama's were orange and blue , he had 2 blue shirts and 2 orange ones , then some jeans and I secretly bought him some skinny jeans. I wondered if he would fit in them , he wasn't exactly large so I'm guesing he should. I loved skinny jeans on boys! Erm..what? I entered my room , hopping inside . My room is small , I was the only daughter and when you're a the only daughter or only son , you usually get the smallest room so your to annoying brothers can have a bigger room . My walls were a yellow cream colour , I never liked the colour. It was purple before, my parents wanted all the rooms to have the same colour. Then you had my bed which was a cabin bed in the side of my room with my shelf next to it with books like manga and novels , including school books , study books my personal stuff like earrings and bracelets , also for my arts and crafts not that I used them anyway.
Closing the door , I was already changed into my pajama's , a checkered red ,black and faint green bottoms with a soft black top . Using the towel to pull the water out then plugging in my hair dryer , my laptop was on to. I was such a kind person to our the usual thing,signing onto Facebook , Skype and Youtube , clicking something random on youtube that I could listen to and then checking my notifications on Facebook. My eyes scanned the page to receive 'hi xx 's and 'hey xxx's from different people. I ignored them all. I wasn't in the mood to talk . My finger switched on the hair dryer , I glanced at the mirror from time to time to see which parts I need to dry.
It was moments later I put down the hair dryer , my hair was dry but not straight. It was wavy , I hated my wavy hair. It looked horrible and not me? I just didn't enjoy it. Some said I looked nice with it , like when it rained during school and I had to walk through it , so my hair went a wavy kind of way. It wasn't nice to me , it felt weird. I heard a knock at my door. I flinched , quickly plugging in my straightners and walked over to the door , opening it and only to see Naruto with a grin. "Can I come in?"
"No."
"Why?"
"'Cause it's my room!"I blurted , almost closing the door but Naruto was much stronger and opening it. He glanced around my room. He entered and sat down.
"You won't even see me here! I just feel a little lonely in my room that's all,"He grinned. I can't beat that ; his grin, I let him come , I stared at the mirror with my straightener in one hand and the brush in the other , starting to tug a bit of hair and straighten it. I saw his cautious eyes staring at everything , my laptop , my straighter , the plugs and sockets , he seemed so amazed by it all. I sighed , straightening the front of my hair , letting it slide down my shoulders perfectly. "Your hair looks nice without having to make it straight, you know?" I glared at him.
"Nah , it looks weird.."I mumbled. I saw him shaking his head .
"No it looks nice,"
"Are you going to argue with me? If you're just going to sit there come and help me straighten my hair!"I commanded. He nodded , he seemed scared of my tone. He shuffled towards me."You take the brush , brush it through my hair and then use the straighteners clamp my hair with it and then pull down,"I explained. He raised a brow and then he carefully slides the brush down my hair and then lifted it all up with the straighteners , I clicked on many different buttons on my laptop , he was staring at that too. I felt the deep warmth of the straighteners on my hair combing it down. I never enjoyed other people touching my hair unless it was my mum , but I didn't mind Naruto doing it , maybe because he is someone , I sort. I don't know , trust? I hummed slowly to the song which was replaying in the background , commenting on pictures , liking things. Oh the life of a thirteen year old , fun (!)
"Ouch!"Naruto flinched. I turned to him , he let go of the electronic and then started to suck on his fingers , I winced at the sound , pushing it away and then making my way up to my knees staring at him.
"What? What did you do?"I quickly questioned.
"That thing scolded my fingers.."He moaned. I sighed , I grabbed a hold of the hand he hurt himself with, I pressed it gently he groaned from the pain. I stood up , opened my door and grabbed one of the cups in the bathroom , it was a plastic cup. I placed it under the tap , letting the cold water run and then clambering back to my room , I handed him the cup.
"Put your fingers in there , the pain should stop."I informed. He nodded and listened to my instructions . He should actually go over to the bathroom and let the tap run it over but I'm sure he would get curious in the bathroom and find things he shouldn't be finding.
"Tanna , what's that?"He said pointing to the laptop.
"A laptop."
"What is this nonsense?!"He exclaimed , he said pushing me over a little , so I continued to straighten my hair , his eyes scanned the keyboard pressing different buttons , a pop up chat soon appearing. "W-What is this?"
"A chat,you talk to people on it."
"A chat? CAN YOU HEAR ME?!"He screamed at the monitor . I groaned , pushing him away and clicking the chat.
"You type , like this." I demonstrated with a simple 'hi' I don't even know who this person is , probably someone in my year . Naruto's mouth molded into an 'O' , he hugged his knees and rocked back and forth with a laugh.
"It's gonna be so much fun here!"He exclaimed , starting to roll on the floor. I watched him , he was such a kid. Too much of a kid , a kid I've always wanted to be. Instead of worrying about exams and GCSE's , but just a kid .
"You're such a child," I cuddled my legs watching him as he rolled around in a laughing fit , why was he laughing anyway? My eyes moved with his rolls , he soon sat up and stared at me. His blue eyes were so pretty!...What? No I didn't say that. His eyes set up to look at my screen ambitiously , the reflection of the screen was seen in his eyes. I couldn't help but smile , my mouth quivered into a small laugh.
I still couldn't believe it.
