Get a Life 34

“…” Neji twitched. Why was this in his locker? Neji looked around, who was doing this to him!? Didn’t he throw this in the trash?! Neji looked back at the book then groaned. Just what did the person think they were gonna gain out of doing this? It’s not gonna happen. Neji then threw it back into his locker and walked away.


“Hey boys how’s the skit going?”
Their drama teacher came up to Naruto and Neji. Naruto smiled.
“It’s going great!!”
Their teacher sighed in relief.
“Thank god, some of the other groups are still having a bit of a hard time, mostly with the costumes. But since you make those I assume that isn’t a problem?”
“Not at all!”
The teacher smiled and went to go check on the other groups.

“I know you won’t talk to me and all, but I AM a member of the geek club.”
Naruto turned to see Kiba then glanced away. He felt bad for what he had done earlier.
“You uh…know the routine right?”
“Bitch Imma outshine you all with my kick ass dance moves!!”
“I’m sure you will…”
Kiba noticed Naruto’s odd behavior and frowned.
“Heeeey.” He then poked Naruto’s check. “Heeeeey.”
“What?”
“What’s uuuuup?”
Naruto bit his bottom lip.
“Are you…really going out with that guy?”
Kiba blushed.
“With Shino?” Kiba rubbed the back of his neck. “I…I don’t know…”

Neji just stood there watching their conversation and felt somewhat envious of Kiba. Shino clearly was the kind of guy who’d treat him well and Kiba clearly liked him back…
“You should just…try it.” Both the boys turned to face Neji kinda forgetting he was still there. “If it doesn’t work out you can aways-“ he then looked towards Naruto “end it.”
Naruto gulped. Was that supposed to be a hint? Did Neji…want to end this? Naruto began to panic, had he fucked it up THAT badly?!
“I suppose that’s true.” Kiba admitted non aware of Naruto’s reaction. Kiba fiddled a bit with his shirt. “But its just so…nerve wrecking.” He then blushed and looked down “What if I miss this up?”
Neji snorted.
“If you keep thinking like that, you won’t.”
“Huh?”
Kiba looked up at him with a cute confused face.
“The only way you could miss this up is by not showing that you care. And right now the fact that you’re worried about it shows you care. A lot.”
Kiba gave a sheepish smile.
“Thanks…”
Neji just smiled back at Kiba and Naruto was looking at Neji. ‘The only way you could miss this up is by not showing that you care.’

The bell rung and people were now heading to lunch. As Neji was about to leave he felt someone grab hold of his hand.
“Lets walk there together!”
Naruto smiled warmly at him. Neji looked at their intertwined hands worryingly. Then glanced up with uncertainty.
“Sure…why not?”

They sat at one of the tables still hand in hand. Neji sighed as he tried eating with just one hand. This wasn’t what he wanted Naruto to pick up from his little speech. If Naruto wasn’t the one who turned him down…then it was up to him to end this.
“Look Naruto…we need to ta-“
“Hey guys!” Sasuke had slammed his tray onto the table and sat on the other side of Nartuo. “What’s up?” Neji looked at Sasuke dully. Smooth Uhichia, SMOOTH.
“Aw nothing much, just got done setting up the big performance details like the time and location for the school feasible.”
Sasuke merely nodded, though the only thing that ran through his mind was, you guys can let GO now… Sasuke twitched.

Neji sighed then jolted as he felt someone hold his other hand. He then turned to see Gaara sitting down next to him.
“Uh what are you doing?”
“Doing as I please.”
Neji groaned then looked down at his food. How was he supposed to eat now? Gaara then noticed Neji’s little dilemma and smirked.
“Say ah”
“huh?” Neji turned to face Gaara only to have a fork full of food shoved in his mouth. Slightly annoyed he swiped Gaara’s hand away from his face. “I am MORE than capable of feeding myself!”
Now Gaara was full out grinning. Neji was a little taken a back. His teeth were really nice. Movie star white. Neji blinked a few times to snap out of his trance.
“Wh-what?”
“I just think it’s funny…how you used that hand instead of this one.”
Neji then realized what he had done. He had let go of Naruto’s hand and was still holding onto Gaara’s. Neji blushed and jerked his other hand back. He then peeked back at Naruto who actually didn’t seem to notice since he was too into his and Sasuke’s conversation.

“…”
Gaara looked dully at Neji. This just wasn’t fair. Why? Why was it Neji always kept looking at him? Gaara then looked at his hands. He was so close but…so out of reach… Neji turned then noticed Gaara looking at his hand. Neji blushed.
“G-Gaara?”
Gaara looked up at Neji and suddenly felt hungry. Gaara held back his need to growl. Neji just looked so-
“Are you alright?”
“…define alright?”
Neji glanced away for a sec then looked back at him.
“This is going to seem like a strange question…but…” Gaara bit his lip in anticipation. Had Neji found out? Did he know he had feelings for him? “Do you…do you draw manga’s?”
Gaara looked at him dumbfounded.
“No.”
Neji looked a bit disappointed after hearing that comment and Gaara began to panic. Wait, was he just trying to start a conversation!?
“I-I mean, I like READING manga’s…”

The bell ringed and Naruto bolted up from his seat.
“It’s time to go!!”
He then grabbed hold of Neji’s hand and began dragging him away. Gaara just sat there and watched as the two of them disappeared into the crowed. He then banged his head very hard on the table. FUCK.
