The minute Iruka dismissed the class for lunch I was out of my seat and heading for my locker. It had warmed up so I slipped off my jacket and placed it inside, exchanging it for my lunch.
Whispers of my fans followed my every move from taking off my jacket to walking out the door; boys blushed as I walked by in my two layered tank tops. You can never really get used to the attention, but I have—for the most part.
Finding an appealing shady tree outside the Academy I slung my bag over my head, placed my lunch and book inside, and started to scale the tree. Orochimaru always said that I climb like a snake—easily and smoothly.
The thought of my uncle made me stop mid-climb. Why did he have to pop up in my thoughts now? I moved onto a nearby branch to eat my ramen, thanking my lucky stars I was fan-boy free for now.
I spotted Narumi eating with Raijin underneath a cherry blossom tree as Salvatore came over to tease them.
I wished I could talk with them, but what’s the point? People usually think I’m unapproachable because I’m quiet. Narumi on the other hand…the Uchiha stuck her tongue out at Salvatore playfully as I watched. People were attracted to her partly because of her social personality, while I seemed to be “worship but don’t touch”.
The sad thing was that it wasn’t true; but people have to not judge in order to find that out.
Another thought about Orochimaru rose into my head. He often said: “A new recruit of mine acted how people usually think you do when he lived in Konoha.”
Sighing, I put a bite of ramen into my mouth. Thinking of my uncle made complex feelings well up inside me like tears.

Yes, Orochimaru is her uncle (go check her profile) and yes, he is talking about Sasuke. I think I put the timeline during Shippuden but I think it’s all right, is it Rain? After all, it’s what it was last time.
