The Bird and the Worm:

Chapter One:

I trudged silently across the cobble stone road to my new high school. "This'll be great," I muttered under my breath. Life in Amegakure seems so far away even though I moved in only a month ago. I looked at the ground my head down when I lost my balance and all my books flew from my arms as I hit the floor. "Pshh. Watch where you are going," A pink headed girl scoffed. "Sorry," I said quickly and began to pick up my books. She walked off with a dirty look on her face as she headed to her clique.

"You need help with that," A lazy voice asked. I quickly turned my head around and see a boy with multiple facial piercings. "Umm... thanks but I'm fine," I say as I picked up the last of my books. "All right," He said. "By the way where are you from? Never seen you around here before," He asked. "I just moved from Amegakure," I answered quickly. I just wanted to get away from him. "Really? Wonder why I never met you before. I used to live there but I moved here when I was little," He said.

"What's your name?" He asked. "Konan," I replied. I have to get away from him. "Heh, I'm Pein," He said as politely as he could. "'Kay well I got to go," He said and winked at me. How retarded. Why would he like a 'good girl' like me? Don't guys like that like girls with facial piercings? I'm a clean slate. "Hey, blue head! C'mon over here!" The pink haired girl called to me. I walked over quickly. "Umm, hi?" I said in a shy tone. "Sorry about that," She laughed. "Your name?" A blonde girl asked. What bimbos. "Konan," I replied. "Cool, I'm Ino," The blonde bimbo said in that annoying squeaky pitch. "I'm Sakura," The pink head said. Well the pink head doesn't seem that bad of a bimbo. "So does that Pein guy like you?" Ino squealed.

Briii-iiing!

Talk about being totally saved by the bell. I rushed into the school doors to escape the two bone heads. I looked at the writing on my hand. Go to class Trigonometry 110. The girls who asked me if that guy liked me were now whispering about me. I walked passed them but couldn't hear what they were saying. "You're not going to fit in here," A red head boy with deep aqua eyes scoffed. "You have to be born here to fit in," He sneered. "Well... For your information!" I said my voice getting increasingly louder as I was about to begin a rant. "Join the club, I wasn't born here either," He laughed sarcastically. This made me even less motivated as I made my way up the stairs.

I just stuck to the shadows of the crowd as I entered the classroom of my least favourite subject. I heard groans from several people as we began to sit down. If this teacher wasn't evil he'd not let me introduce myself. The teacher walked in and talk about absolute no sense of hair style. "HELLO!" He yelled enthusiastically. "I'M MR.GAI FOR THOSE WHO ARE NEW!" He yelled even louder. "Now, we have a new student! Please come introduce yourself," He said in his goofy tone. I wanted to punch him in the face. I absent-mindedly took my books to the front with me. As I turned around I saw that Ino-girl stole my spot next to the guy who's head looked like a duck butt. "Hi, I'm Konan," I said simply. I went to go find an empty seat but this retard who calls himself a teacher made me stay. "Now everyone state your name for her!" He said gleefully. "I'M NARUTO! DATTEBAYOU!" The spiky blonde head yelled at me. "Sasuke," The guy I was sitting beside said uninterested.

"I'm Ino!" The bimbo of all bimbos screeched. "Name's Sakura," She said with a smile. "H-Hinata," Poor girl she seems so nice. "Shikamaru, this is so troublesome," He said lazily. Everyone stated their name until Mr.Gai said in a annoyed voice. "Your name!" "God, take a chill pill, Pein," He scoffed. I looked around worriedly. There was no open space expect for the one next to Pein in the very back of the class. I walked reluctantly to the back of the class. As I sat down I got another wink from him. This one caught me off guard and I blushed and quickly looked away. Ino must have saw this because by the time I looked at the board there was gossiping going on. "What's wrong with you!" I said fiercely. "Konan! I'm letting you off this time because you're new but next time I'm sending you to detention," The teacher said fiercely. I looked down at my text book. Then quickly glanced at Pein, he's not even paying attention.

I took a tiny piece of lined paper and began to fold a paper crane.

Pein's P.O.V.

Heh, she's kind of cute for a blank slate. She'd look good with a piercing. I glanced up from carving the desk I was sitting in with random words she was folding a paper crane. Those are a pain in the ass to make but she can make it look so easy. She does it all in perfect proportion too. I heard her sigh and she closed her eyes as if making a wish on it. I wonder what she's wishing for. She started to make another one and then the teacher snatched it from her. "Pay attention! You're going to detention." Well she'll be with me in it. Little does she know I gained a two year sentence for tiping the entire school in toliet paper for Halloween. Man, that was an awesome time. Just me and the blank canvas. This'll be interesting...
