< br> Chapter 2:
"F-word Blushing, Too Much Red"


"So, what're you in to?" Kiba asked, genuinely curious, while they were all turning their desks.

"Oh, you know, music, movies, fine literature," Ian replied nonchalantly, after tossing his bag to Aika.

"S-so... do you have a g-g-g-girlfriend or anyth-th-thing?" Fina asked blushing [AN: a regular Hinata, right? And is that foreshadowing? I think it might be, but maybe not, you know how indecisive authors are. But, why is it that this just makes her sound mentally challenged? Cause she's not, just nervous as a mo-fo.]. "Heh, me? Oh Fuck no. Look at me, what kinda self respecting girl would date me?" he replied with, "I mean, it's not that I think I'm UGLY, by any means, but I know I'm not overly attractive either.... I'm of adequate appearance, in the right crowds. That's what I think about myself. And no girl wants to just SETTLE cause all the really attractive guys are taken, know what I'm sayin?" The group replied with a less than enthusiastic "Uh.... yeah..."

"'Don't ever tell anybody anything. If you do, you start missing everybody.' What's that?" Aika said. "Huh? Oh, that's just a quote from one of the greatest novels ever." Ian said, with a sad, yet enthralled, look in his eyes. "And what novel is that?" Vyse asked. "I'll tell ya when you're older." The owner of the bag replied. To that a couple "Huh?"s were heard from the surrounding students. "Don't worry about it." he said, "Lets just get back to our little convo... So, where is the cafeteria? Oh, Aika, most the shit I've written on there is from the same book." After he turned back around he was met with a "Show us your schedule and we can find out which lunch you have, then find out who can show you to the lunch room" from Sakura. "*sigh* Alright," he said standing up to get out his wallet, after doing so he opened it and pulled out a folded slip of paper, after finding it he pulled out a worn black and white checkered piece of cloth, looked at it, shrugged, and put it in his outside jacket pocket. "U-u-um.. you h-h-have next hour w-w-with Neji and Tenten..." Hinata said. "Ok.... but who the fuck is Neji and Tenten?" he said with a very confused look. "Oh, Neji is Hinata's brother, and Tenten is his girlfriend. One of us will walk you over to your math class and introduce you to them." Sakura decided to chime in with. "U-um, we have 3rd hour Science, 5th hour English, and 6th and 7th hour history and government together too," Fina said blushing. "OH! AND YOU HAVE GYM WITH ME AND KIBA!!!" Naruto blurted. So Ian replied: "Wow... you're an obnoxious kid, aren't you, Naruto?"

"What's that for?" Aika asked. "Umm, a great band called Streetlight Manifesto." He said turning back. "And this one?" Aika said pointing to another circular patch, this one was white, although dirty, with a black "C13" on it, in such a way as to make it into a circle. "Calibretto 13" he said while reaching into his inside pocket of his jacket and pulling out a straw, the bottom of if was bent at about quarter length and obviously chewed on, the top was burnt and melted. Without saying a word he put the chewed end in his mouth and started chewing on it, then turned back around.

When he got turned back around he was met with a "Y-y-yes... Naruto is a little obnoxious, b-b-but it's k-kind of f-f-funny," from an extremely, and I mean EXTREMELY, flushed Hinata. Ian started to reply by, till he was cut off, "Heh, alright, it's all good th..." *BEEEEEEP*

"Oh, that's the bell class, have a good day" Iruka said with a relieved undertone to his normal voice. "Can one of you show Ian how to get to his class?" "Y-y-y-yeah!" Fina spoke up with, much to the surprise of all the outgoing people of the group "...I mean, I have to go over that direction anyway." She finished with, blushing, needless to say. "Alright, I'm fine with that," accepted Ian, picking up his bag, much to the chagrin of Aika, "sorry, but I need this" he added to her, noticing her downcast expression. "It's ok!" she said springing up and grabbing her own bag, "come on Vyse, we gotta get to our class!" The group dispersed to wherever they had to go, I don't really wanna go into who had what, I might do it some other time.

"So.... what's wrong?" Fina asked abruptly when the 2 of them were in a rather vacant hallway. "What do you mean?" Ian replied with a very fake smile. "Don't act like that, I can tell you're really sad, what's wrong? you can tell me..." Fina countered in a soft, worried, voice "...I know, I know, even though I said that, maybe even just because I said it, you aren't gonna feel like you trust me." Dumbfounded, he thought of something he could say to this "Well... I just don't like talking about it.... but I will say that I don't really want to go home right after school, wanna go get some coffee or food or something? With like a group or something, hopefully people with some depth, like you, I could tell, you knew EXACTLY what book those quotes are from, we can all just chat and have some intelligent conversation." "Ok, that sounds like it'd be nice, I'm down for it, I don't think my sister and Vyse should come, they're not what you'd call 'Intellectuals,'" answered the blonde, "a-a-actually, how about just u-u-u-us? I'd really like to get to know you better than I do, you seem very... i-i-i-interesting." Now it was Ian's turn to change a shade of red, "Uh.... yah... y-y-you do too." To this, for one reason or another, Fina smiled a little.

They got to the Math class and met Neji and Tenten outside the door. Fina made the introductions, and asked Neji if he could take him to his science class. "No, I have to go the other way, so does Tenten..." While thinking about how they were gonna show him how to get to his class Ian spoke up, "Y'know, I could just walk down the hall and look at the class numbers, I mean, if this is A118, and my class is A125, wouldn't it just be that way and over there?" pointing down and to the other side of the hall. "Yes.. you can do that, sorry, I forgot..." Fina answered, rather embarrassed at the oversight, "Ok, I have to go, see you next hour, I-Ian" Then, all of a sudden she hugged him and quickly started walking down the hall.

"Oh-ho-ho..." Tenten said with a sly look on her face, "now I see why she's worrying so much about you getting to class on time, she wants to be with you more..."

Exasperated, Ian said "You girls are fucking crazy, you know that?"

"And how is that?"

"Well, for one, it was just one goddamn hug, that don't mean jack shit. And for two, there would be no way a girl like that would fall for a guy like me... especially in under an hour of knowing me. Oh, and three, your kind just isn't very nice to me most the time, that's not cool."

"Sorry to break up this discussion... but we need to go inside." Neji interjected with.

The 3 of them shuffled in and took their seats in the back left corner. On their way in Ian called out to the teacher "I'm not gonna introduce myself, just tell em my name and point at me, that'll be enough." The teacher just agreed, not seeming to care, and not wanting to take his face out of the book he was reading. "What is he reading?" Ian asked. "*sigh* 'Icha Icha Paradise'" Neji said, "it's an adult novel, that's pretty much all he does, reads those books and assigns us problems, makes for a pretty easy class. A lot of the girls don't like him, needless to say." Ian just questioned, "What's his name?" Neji had an answer for this too, "His name's Kakashi."

"Hello class" Kakashi said, not looking up form his book, "we have a new student, his name is Ian, just look around and if you see a face you haven't seen before... that's him. We're not gonna be doing anything today, so just talk and play amongst yourselves."

"Okay, Ian, lets get to know you a little better," Tenten said, ecstatically. "What's there to know? Not much." He replied with. "Well, the least you could do is tell me what you and Fina were talking about walking over here that made you blush so much," she said winking. "Oh.... that... yah, well, apparently me and Fina are gonna go get coffee or something after school and just talk." he said, blushing again. "Wait.. JUST you and Fina?" she asked, "how'd you get a shy girl like her to do something like that?" "Agree nothin, she's the one that said just me and her, I asked if she wanted to go get some coffee or food or something with a group of people and just talk about stuff, intellectual and all that, she said just me and her. I'll just say this now... I'm not a fan of blushing, f-word to it, right? Too much red."

And the conversation went on like that for the rest of the class period, then the bell rang. They got up, left, Ian found the next class with very little trouble, to find Fina sitting in there already, saving him a seat.

"Hey, how're you?" Ian asked

"Fine, how was Algebra 2?"

"Eh, ok, teacher seems to be pretty weird, but seems like it's gonna be easy as hell."

"That's good. Jaraiya is pretty weird too, he's the teacher for most of the science classes. Including this chemistry class."

"Cool cool, he better not make me introduce myself, cause that's embarrassing and annoying all at the same time."

'You don't seem like the type of guy that would be embarrassed that easily. Why would telling people about yourself annoy you?"

"I don't know, I just feel like they don't need to know much. I mean, even if I did start to tell them a lot about me, it's not like they'd KNOW me... but I guess we'll talk more about this kinda thing after school. And just so you know, you're lucky as hell that I'm even talking right now, despite what you might've figured about me, I'm a shy kid, I usually don't talk unless there's something important to say."

"Ok, sounds interesting. Although, that last thing you said... I don't really see it. Oh, we might need to get Neji to drop us off wherever we're gonna go, he was going to give me, Aika, and Vyse a ride to mine and Aika's house."

"Nah, I drove ta school, I can drive us."

"Ok, that works, where are you wanting to go?"

"Well, to do this kinda thing, or to just hang out, in my old town, me and my friends would go to Denny's, and I figured I should go ahead and make my presence known here too, that is, if you don't mind going to what is essentially a chain of trucker stops. I do want it to be somewhere I can smoke, if you don't mind it, that is."

"No, that sounds fine, I don't mind you smoking at all, if I can have a cigarette."

"No problem, you don't strike me as a smoker though."

"Strictly social..." Fina said blushing and looking down.

"What's wrong? Parents act like smokers are all goin ta hell? Mine do the same thing."

"Really? Than why do you smoke?"

"Wel.." Ian was cut off before he could finish. "EXCUSE ME! You I've been trying to teach up here, but you 2 have been talking the whole time." Jaraiya yelled, a little defensive. "Sorry man, but, I mean, what exactly am I gonna need to know ions for?" Ian replied, sarcastically, then turned to Fina and whispered "We'll finish this talk later."

Class ended and Ian asked Fina how to get to gym. She just directed him down the hall, and that was that. When he got to the gym he was met with a strange "fight" between Kiba and Naruto [AN: All play, of course.].

"Oh, HEY IAN!" yelled Naruto, grappling with Kiba. Ian walked over and said "Hey. So, what's the coach like? Cause... I'll tell you right now that I'm not big on gym." "Heh, don't worry about it, he's really weird, but pretty easy, I mean, we can usually trick him if we don't want to do anything, and we don't actually do sports, just running and kinda working out." answered Kiba, finally ending the tussle between Naruto and him. "Well, that's good as fuck, cause I'm not plannin' on doin' jack shit today. So I should just tell him that I got hurt moving or something, right?" "Yeah, that should do it." answered Naruto.

"HEY CLASS!!!" yelled and overly excited teacher with bushy eyebrows. "We've got a new student today! So, would you please step forward and introduce yourself?!" Ian reluctantly stepped forward and walked over to the coach, complete with a fake limp. "Umm.. I got hurt when I was moving into my new house, and I don't think I'll be much good for physical activities for a while." Ian whispered. "He's good. Kiba and Naruto said to each other, snickering. "Oh, well, sit out for say.... a week? That should be enough time for you to heal up. Now, would you like to introduce yourself to the class?!" Guy said to Ian, actually concerned a little. "Eh, not really, but I will." Ian said, then turned to the class. "Hey, my name's Ian, I'm the new kid." Then he was directed to the bleachers where he limped over to, sat down, and watched to class run and exercise. The bell rang and it was off to "Mr. Macqueeney's" class for English. [AN: is the greatest teacher I've ever had, so I had to throw him in here.]

Ian arrived about a minute before the late bell just to find Fina saving him a seat, again. "Oh, hey Fina, thank you for saving this for me, again..." He said blushing and scratching the back of his head. "O-oh, n-no problem.." she said, both were blushing now. Ian took the seat waiting for the class to start while thinking. "Goddamn, fuck blushing, too much fucking red."
