[NAME] GRINNED AS SHE POCKETED

the money. Currently all her ' predictions ' were true so far ❝ Squad seven Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno, Sasuke Uchiha and due to the uneven amount of students in class [Name] Nara will be the fourth member of squad seven❞

[Name] grinned ear to ear as she expanded her hand toward Sakura and Naruto. Both sulking as they handed over the money, sasuke as always was ignorant towards everyone. Ino growled as she glared holes at the back of Sakura head ❝ I don't get it, what do you see in a guy like that? He's not so special ❞ shikamaru leaned against his palm, [Name] couldn't help but agree. Ino scoffed, she was ready to retaliate against him ❝ he's not wrong you know— there are plenty of other good looking guys here ❞ [Name] couldn't help but back shikamaru up

Ino huffed out, she flicked her hair giving her a cold gaze ❝ oh yeah like who? ❞ [Name] raised her eyebrow, god— if she didn't know any better she'll say the girls here are brainwashed in this fandom. In the corner of her eye she could see Sasuke perk up in curiosity. ❝ Let's see, there's shikamaru, Choji, Kiba, Naruto I think Shino would be liked second if your types are guys who are mysterious like Sasuke— oh I also heard about some older kid what was his name? Neji? ❞ her words trailed off in confusion, brows furrowing in thought.

Shikamaru along with the rest of her male classmates looked at her with odd gazes. Some jaw slacked by her blunt tone, [Name] blinked as she stared at them  ❝ what? ❞ in a flash all males were surrounding her seats as they rambled on who she likes, and what are her preferences.

❝ After lunch you'll meet your jounin teachers, Class dismissed ❞

Locking her elbow with shikamaru— [Name] followed him along with the others in a sluggish pace. She couldn't be bothered by her new team, she knew none of them would get along in the start— Naruto would be off playing some prank, Sasuke would be hiding from his horde of fan girls and Sakura would be obsessively looking for him. ❝ shouldn't you be with your team? Man your so lucky to end up in a team with Sasuke ❞ Ino whined as she slumped over her female companion

[Name] leaned against shikamaru throwing her legs across Choji as she leaned back in relaxation. ❝ As if, by all means I'll gladly give you my spot if I could— troublesome teammates they're going to be ❞ Ino let out an irk as she began ranting as to why Sasuke wouldn't be troublesome and how lucky she was to have him by her side.

❝ Hey, [Name] can you lend me some money?❞ she perked up at the call of her name, she smiled softly as she stared at choji, she had grown to have a soft spot for him something she had yet refused to accept ❝ why? Snacks again? ❞ Choji grinned as he nodded his head ❝ I mean....what else is there to buy besides snacks? ❞

With a bark of laughter, she dug into her pocket pulling out her wallet; she threw it at who caught it with ease ❝ man, you're such a drag choji— you truly are one in a million ❞ Choji could only grin wider with a pink hue on his cheeks. Ino let out a humph ❝ alright since we're in the same group you're gonna have to follow me lead, ya got it? That's the only way it would work ❞

Shikamaru waved her off mumbling a whatever under his breath, he was smart enough not to argue against her knowing she'll throw a tantrum. This was such a drag, ❝ why don't you lead us to some barbecue Ino? ❞ in conversation Choji cut her angry ranting. [Name] nudged shikamaru as she pointed down below where Naruto snuck up on Sasuke and tackled him down. ❝ Naruto! If you so much as scratch him you're on my enemy list forever! ❞

[Name] leaned forward as she peered down below, she knew what to expect. Who the true winner was in this little brawl of theirs ❝ He beat Naruto without breaking a sweat ❞ surprise laced in shikamarus voice. [Name] frowned as she glanced up at him, was Sasuke really that impressive? She could beat him in a spar in just a second— he wasn't that great at all, he was predictable in every sense of the word. ❝ What do you expect? Naruto against my boy Sasuke, no contest ❞ Slobbish speaking, Ino grinned

[Name] rolled her eyes, ❝ oh please he isn't all that great ❞ pulling out of Shikmarus embrace she stood up letting out a yawn. Walking to the opening of the rails, [Name] was ready to help out her so called ' teammate ' in need but a hand wrapped tightly around her wrist prevented her from doing so ❝ Where are you going? ❞ Eyebrow perking up she gestured toward her fallen comrade ❝ Troublesome, are you my dad? He's my teammate. I'll be back in a few yeah?❞

Without a word, she headed over to Sasukes corpse. She peered down at him with amusement ❝ who would of thought the great Sasuke would fall to his nemesis Naruto ❞ she mocked him, god he truly was pitiful to look at in such a state. Sulking in his loose, not accepting the undying truth that Naruto had managed to sneak up behind him and take him by surprise. She ripped off the tape from his mouth enjoying his hiss of pain as he stared up at her ❝ get me out off these ropes— and he didn't beat me. He just caught me by surprise ❞

[Name] cocked her head to the side, she grabbed a fistful of hair as she tilted his head upwards. A red hue emitted from his cheeks as he let out a low groan of discomfort, releasing him from her grip she placed both hands on her hips ❝ Do it yourself it's too much of a drag for me to do it ❞ without another word she left him on his current state. He could get out by himself, it happened in the anime she didn't see why she should help him.

Not wanting to end up in the emotional rollercoaster where Sakura spews out nonsense and bashes at Narutos past she headed toward the classroom feeling rather sleepy today. This was also the scenario where the hokage and Kakashi would visit Narutos, and Sasuke home perhaps maybe they'll visit her home next. And if they did she was prepared for it, she had a book of Icha Icha Paradise out in the open with her favorites scenes and words highlighted. Along with the full collection of Icha Icha on her bookshelf.

She supposed they were her pride and joy, it was far too easy getting those books. Along with throwing a few skimpy shirts and along with other things, her body was growing surprisingly quick and maturing far more than it should at her age but than again she use to be twenty five.
