Konoha High School

'So... Where are we going?'

I stopped dead in my tracks and scratched my forehead. We were in the middle of the almost empty school.

'I have no idea...' I murmured dumbly to Shikamaru, who chuckled slightly and pulled me somewhere.

I blinked a few times as he dragged me behind the stairs. This place was isolated from others and no one was able to see us there. It wasn't spacy, but very cozy – mostly because it looked like some kind of hideout, a private spot. It wasn't dark, because a window was here.

I watched as Shikamaru sighed and plopped himself on the floor, leaning his back against the border of the staircase. A light cloud of dust rose around him, but it settled down soon.

I sat next to the black haired boy who was staring at the wall with a dull look. It was silent, but comfortable.

'Want some juice?' I asked, taking a sip from the bottle and waving it in front of his face.

His bored gaze sank into me as he nodded, grabbing it from my hand.

A few minutes passed and I already finished my bun, however, Shikamaru didn't eat anything.

'Where is your lunch?'

'I'm not really hungry...'

'You're sure about that?'

'Yeah...' He muttered and looked at me again.

Shikamaru's P.O.V

I can't believe I just showed Fumiko my secret spot. Troublesome... She's not that bad though. The way she talks is not loud and she is just not annoying to hang around with. I don't mind her company.

Fumiko relaxed beside me and closed her eyes. A quiet sigh escaped her lips.

I felt really tired so I just laid my head on her lap. Her eyes shot open, but she didn't say anything. We stared at each other for a while till she smiled lightly, brushing a strand of hair out of my face.

This felt really nice. I didn't even notice when my mind doze off...

Fumiko's P.O.V

I was a bit shocked to see Shikamaru's head on my lap... But who wouldn't? I mean it's not like every day this lazy bum decides to take a nap... On you. I didn't know him for a long time, so maybe he does this with everyone...

Shikamaru's eyes closed slowly and I sighed again. He was making me sleepy too, but I must not sleep. What if we don't hear the bell ring? That would cause trouble. I can't let myself be late for the second time today.

I glanced at Shika's face once more. He was pretty handsome actually... Is it just me, or are there too many nice-looking guys in this school? Nah, that might be only me after all. Maybe my hormones decided to wake up finally...

'Damn it... Wake up, Fumiko-chan...'

I groaned, opening my eyes lazily and glaring at the boy who was shaking my shoulders.

'What is it, Shika-kun..?'

'We're late to geography. What a drag...'

'Shit.'

And I just told myself not to fall asleep! Damn it!

We quickly got up and ran towards our classroom, grumbling curses quietly.

I let out a relieved sigh as we dashed into the class – the teacher was still missing.

'Why are you and Shikamaru late?!'

'I will tell you later, Narut-'

'I'm late, excuse me. You, blondie, get back to your seat, now.'

We watched in awe as a fierce looking man entered the room. He had long black hair and red eyes – they looked deadly. Naruto grunted something and went to his desk pouting, but I didn't dare to. Our teacher was piercing me with a glare, making me gulp. Did he know I was late?

'I'm Madara and I will be teaching you geography. That's all you need to know about me. Let's start our lesson.'

A few students whispered something to each other but Madara-sensei silenced them only with his eyes. He looked... Powerful? I guess so. He's just not someone to mess with.

'You, girl. Do you think you can daydream during my class?'

I blushed as he pointed at me.

'N-No, sensei... I'm sorry...'

'Then pay attention.'

'Yes...'

Yup, he was strict. Another pain in the ass...

Sasuke's P.O.V

I furrowed my eyebrows at Fumiko. She was late again, and now with that idiot Shikamaru! Just what is she thinking? Were they together this whole time?

At least she has a detention. That will teach her a lesson. But Orochimaru-sensei looks disgusting... Naruto is with her though, I shouldn't worry.

Wait, why am I worrying? I mentally slapped myself.

This time it's me who is a fool. I can deny it all I want, but the fact that she ignores me completely... Is annoying. Besides that, she is all friendly with those losers who are drooling over her. How can she not notice me? It's obvious – I'm the most popular here, together with my bastard brother. Maybe she hates popular guys? But she talked with Itachi the other day...

Damn, just what the hell!

'You. Detention today, after lessons.'

I growled at the teacher and he only smirked at me smugly. Naruto snickered and Fumiko gave me a pitiful look.

Hn, losers…
