Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. It seemed as if my heart pounded at each tick of the clock and skipped at the tock. The pencil in my grip was bending as the thin wood started cracking. Kakashi-sensei slapped closed his book; making me jump a bit in my skin. "Now class, I realize that today is your last day with me so I will be giving you a special treat." He spoke to us. My eyes were nearly popping out of my head at the silver clock on the wall behind him. "I will now let you roam freely throughout the classroom." People got ready to leap from their seats. "But!" Our eyes darted back to his attention, except for mine. Still staring at the evil time keeping device. Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. "You must keep it quiet and do NOT bother me. Go." Everyone leaped from their chairs and started chitchatting in little groups. Someone pounced on my back from behind, snapping me out of my trance. "~~~~-chan!" I was pulled to my feet into a huge bear hug by one of my bestest friends, Naruto Uzumaki. Followed behind him were Ino, Sakura, Sasuke, Hinata, and my bestiest friend ever; Yokiko. "I don't want to leave you guys! I'll miss you too much, believe it!" He cried dramatically. "Yeah, we should totally get together sometime this summer!" Ino stated with a huge grin after Naruto finally put me down from my bear hug. “I know! Hey...~~~~? Yokiko?” But we ignored Sakura for our eyes were glued to the two males in the back. One with black and white skin split in half and the other with long, blond, beautiful hair; Zetsu and Deidara. “You guys!” We shook our heads as I blinked a few times. “Would you two please focus for once and stop ogling at those two?” She asked folding her arms over her chest. My cheeks flustered in embarrassment. “I mean really. I can understand Deidara, but Zetsu? Ew!” A vein popped on Yokiko’s temple. Just before she was about to start her ‘Zetsu-is-hot-and-you-know-it’ rant, I covered with my hand. “All year you guys haven’t said one word to them.” Sasuke stated. I sighed and un-covered Yokiko’s mouth. “I know.” I whispered in my small voice. “Well what are we suppose to do? They’re upper classmen. The only reason they’re here is because the school mixes the grade levels in different classes. This happens to be that one class!” Yokiko growled flicking her long, lime green hair over her shoulder. “This is what I think.” Our heads turned towards Naruto. “Why don't you and the girls go shopping and buy something to ware for the party tonight.” Ino then suddenly got an inspiration. “Yeah, then you two will make those two fall madly in love with you because of your fabulous outfits, then you guys will run hand in hand into the sunset together.” My cheeks frizzled at that comment. Yokiko rolled her eyes. “What party?” She asked. “T-the end of s-school p-party.” Hinata stuttered shyly. Yokiko smacked her forehead. As you can tell, she isn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer. Before we even had a chance to protest, it was already decided. Majority rules. ;A;

**Party Time!**

The limo pulled up in front of the school. Yokiko was squeezing my hand so hard, I thought it was about to break. To think that she would be more nervous than I was. And I was the shy one! “Let’s go girls!” Ino cheered as we slipped out of the stretched out car. I swallowed a hard lump in my throat; lagging behind everyone. “Come on ~~~~!” Ino cheered as the girls rushed inside. “~~~~?” I looked up to Yokiko’s big brown eyes. “It’s going to be fine.” My lips lightly pursed into a smile. She tucked a strand of my night black hair behind my ear. I nodded as we rushed inside as well.
