Get a life 22
"Karin, it's simple, Naruto's just a really cool guy."
Neji commented dully. It was kinda sad really. The only reason he decided to join was because Karin paid him to. That's right, PAID. Neji was getting paid to find out about a guy that Sasuke was hanging out with. At first he really didn't want to because he didn't like the idea of being around some geek (hence the payment). But now he just didn't want to get paid to hang out. It felt…dishonoring. That what he was doing was wrong and the money he was getting was dirty. He actually wanted to hang with Naruto because he was Naruto, not because he was getting paid.
"Face it Karin, you're jealous."
Karin gritted his teeth and bitched slapped Neji before high tailing it. She was getting so sick of those words. "face it, you're jealous". Worst part was, she just got told that by another fellow 'cool' kid. There was no doubt about it Neji was considered popular. Why? Ah duh, he's hot? Not to mention rich. So for someone like him to even say Naruto was cool… Karin stopped. Since when were geeks considered cool? Was it that god damn Glee show? Will whatever it was, it was working, and she was loosing. Loosing to a geek.
Neji leaned against the wall and watched as she stormed off in her little hissy fit and sighed. Karin was just never gonna get it. She was just so lost in her little world to take a step back and see the world for what it truly was. He smirked, and the truth of the world was, Sasuke was so gay. Worst part was he didn't even need to join Naruto's group to see that. Heck he knew BEFORE Naruto showed up. How? Simple, Sasuke had many shots with many hot women, and he turned ALL of them down. It wasn't like he believed the whole 'if you are not dating someone your gay' (cause that's just bull shit) but it was a whole other story when you're 'turning down living sex goddesses'. With that in mind and adding in the fact that he was suddenly hanging out with Naruto was clear that Naruto was simply just Sasuke's first love interest.
Neji intertwined his fingers and rested them on the back of his neck and walked off to look for said Naruto. Even if people were after him didn't mean Neji couldn't just hang out. Sides…much like Sasuke he knew he needed some real friends. Only difference was that he would admit it and was actually doing something about it on his own accord. Though, he did smirk at the idea of going after Naruto for kicks just to piss people off. He then chuckled devilishly. Should he do it? It could be fun…
"Ah Neji, your up to something devious aren't you?"
Neji's facial features relaxed but his smile remained as he turned to face the voice raising his hands up in defense.
"Guilty as charged."
Naruto laughed and patted Neji on the back. Neji really was cool, the kind of cool that Naruto could actually respect. Neji wasn't the kind of person who didn't care what others thought of him. Naruto's laughter died a little. He wished Sasuke was a bit like that.
"Something up?"
"Just thinking stuff…"
"How's that going for yeah?"
Naruto glared at Neji playfully. Not to mention they were surprisingly alike (Neji and Sasuke).
"Asshole."
"Oh like you're any better. Admit-" he then nudged Naruto "you have a devious side."
"Whaa-?" Naruto pointed an index finger to his lip, bashing his eyelash as though playing innocent "Little old me?"
Neji snorted.
"Okay class, listen up please!"
Naruto and Neji glanced up. They weren't in a classroom per say, they sat on long metal benches that choirs would use, in the auditorium. Neji loved acting but who would of guess a person like Naruto would too? Naruto then turned to face Neji.
"Yo dude I just noticed your face." He then cupped Neji's check "what happened?"
Neji actually hissed a little. It stung like a bitch. But he didn't want Naruto to find out how he got it. Otherwise he may loose this new bound of friendship.
"My my Naruto, are you coming onto me?"
Neji leaned in and husked in a seductive voice. Naruto's face exploded red and pull back so hard he actually fell off the bench.
"Oooow…"
Neji blinked a few times, and then did everything in his power NOT to burst out laughing. Holy shit! That was hilarious! The look on his face-! Priceless! It had been a while (Neji's laughter slowed down)…since he laughed like that… Neji soon calmed down and his face bore something expressionless. Shit, had it really been that long? Since he laughed for real?
"NARUTO!"
Naruto jolted up.
"Uh, aye!"
"For terribly disrupting my VERY important lecture, YOU have just volunteered your self!"
"What-?!" Naruto then ran towards his teacher then skid on the ground on his knees so that he slid to the teacher's legs and clinched onto them as though he were holding onto dear life.
"Please Sensi! I am so so SO sorry!" He yelled in a dramatic fashion. Kids giggled at Naruto's little 'act'. Neji even smiled. Naruto was just so…fun to watch. "Well you please forgive this POOR MORONIC soul?!" he then raised his arm dramatically in the air towards the empty seats as though there was a crowed "For I am nothing but a mere foolish teen who has still not grasp the basic ways that is known as-" he then gasped and lowered his head "School."
The students clapped their hands, few even whistled, and his teacher just stood there. Unfazed.
"Do you even know what it is I volunteered you for?" He commented dully.
Naruto looked up at him and gave him his biggest grin.
"Nope! I just know that I don't like work!"
Now everyone was laughing and the teacher rolled his eyes. Go figure he thought to himself. He sighed.
"Naruto I want you to be in charge of promoting a skit for one of the schools clubs for the school festival."
Naruto got up and looked at him confusingly.
"A skit for…a school club?"
"After having a hard time motivating students to join the school board asked if we could help make things…more entertaining."
Naruto then pondered.
"Can I choose which club?"
"Sure."
"Can it be a NEW club?"
"A club's still a club…"
Naruto smiled and then turned to face Neji. Neji jerked back as he saw Naruto's face.
"Stop that-"
Naruto was giving him the puppy dog look.
"But Neeeejiiii!" Naruto whined. "I neeeeeed yooooou!"
Neji glanced around. On downfall with being around Naruto was that, well, BEING around Naruto. Neji sighed. He knew if he said no he was never gonna hear the end of it.
"Fine."
"YES!" Naruto then dashed over and hopping up the benches (and some people) then lunged a hug at Neji almost causing him to fall as well.
"THIS IS GONNA BE AWESOME!"
Neji just sat there not really sure how to react. No one ever hugged him before… he the awkwardly raised his arms and around Naruto as though there was an invisible bubble around him and patted Naruto on the back.
"There there?"
As weird as it was…Neji smiled. This was…kinda nice. …Maybe he should go after Naruto too. But not just because it was fun…but because he could very well be falling for him…
