Nejis pov (aged eight)
I nervously walked through the village alone. Usually I walk here with papa to get shopping but since daddy's sick for his curse seal being activated I have to go in myself.
I read carefully through the list that uncle gave me.
Soy beans
Rice
Eggs
Milk
Birthday cake for hannabi
I nodded as I put the list away in my pocket. I should be able to get tha-
My thoughts were cut off when I was pushed by someone, making me fall flat on my face. I looked up to see a group of mean looking boys snickering at me.
"hey look its one of those white eyed freaks" one of them said.
"ha! He looks like a pretty little girl!" one of the kids said making the others laugh.
I sighed. Papa said I should always ignore mean people like them so I got up and tried to walk away when they snatched the list out of my hand.
"oh what's this? A to-do list" the boy sneered.
"hey give it back!" I yelled trying to snatched it back. The boy held it over his head and pushed me to the ground. The others laughed as I landed painfully on my butt.
I squeezed my eyes shut as their laughter rang through my eyes. Don't cry neji. A Hyuga isn't allowed to show weakness. That's what the elders always say. Don't cry. Don't cry. Don't cry-
"hey will you troublesome jerks knock it off"
