Chapter One: Domino Effect

.

.

Naruto was excited as he put on his bright orange coat and smiled at his reflection in the floor length mirror in a corner of his room. Today was going to be the day… It will probably be the best day of his life. At the age of seventeen, he already knows the woman who will complete his life, and today, he was going to confess to her. Today nothing could mess this up. He grabbed his black backpack and hurried out of the door. He could here his Uncle Iruka telling him to slow down but he can't be tamed. At least, not today.

.

He cleared his throat as he practiced the memorized speech he was going to say to her later at lunch break. He was so ready for this. "S-Sakura, I think that you are the most beautiful flower of all. I like you a lot. And I think that we'd make a great couple… You are the high to my school, the straw to my berry, and at seventeen, I'm sure you're the one I want to marry."

.

"Dude! Scoot over!" Kiba grinned as he ran to where Naruto was sitting on the bus. He plopped down beside him and stretch. "Aww man! I didn't get much sleep last night. I was up all night looking out for thieves. What about you? You look… Why are you dressed so bright?"

.

"It's my lucky jacket, Kiba."

.

Kiba snorted. "What do you need your lucky jacket for?"

.

Naruto smiled. "You'll know about it soon, for now just wish me luck on this one."

.

"Okay. Good luck."

.

Naruto grinned. "Thanks." The two sat in silence as the bus stopped to pick up more students. Kiba stood up from his seat and waved at the awkward looking girl who just got on. It was Hinata Hyuga. Naruto watched as she timidly made her way towards them. She had a light blush on her pale cheeks as she kept her big blue eyes on her feet. "Good morning, Hinata!"

.

Hinata glanced up and flushed. "G-G-G-Good morning, Naruto-kun... Kiba-kun." She proceeded to sit behind Kiba and Naruto. She couldn't believe that Naruto greeted her good morning. She tried to control her trembling fingers. She bit her lower lip and silently giggled. From here, she could smell Naruto's perfume so she whiffed and whiffed to her heart's content. That's why she always sat behind Kiba and Naruto. That was her biggest secret.

.

What she didn't know was that a pair of onyx eyes has locked on her since she got on the bus. Sasuke Uchiha noticed Hinata Hyuga everywhere she went. She wasn't like those other noisy girls in their school. She was quiet. She was agreeable. Sasuke heard her speak up only once for a little puppy that was being beaten by a couple of grade school kids but that was the moment she captured Sasuke's attention. He leaned back on his seat with a frown. He didn't miss the way Hinata stole glances at Naruto Uzumaki, or the way she blushed whenever he talked to her. Weird as it was, that was another reason why he liked Hinata. She wasn't like most girls because most girls were begging at his feet for his attention. Sasuke groaned as his most despised female got on the bus.

.

Sakura Haruno was the loudest, violent, and just plain annoying female ever. Her pink hair made her stood out from the crowd but mostly, it was for her loud voice. She was chatting with Ino, her best frienemy, as she looked for an empty seat. A wide grin made it's way to her face when she spotted Sasuke looking at her from where he was sitting. She pushed Ino into Shikamaru's waiting arms before she ran towards Sasuke. She waved at him. "Good Morning, Sasuke!" She greeted.

.

Sasuke groaned. Why can't she take a hint? Glaring at her doesn't really mean she's being invited to talk to him! "Hey" was his dry response but of course, Sakura was a bit thick. She parked her ass beside his.

.

Sasuke caught Naruto glaring at him. Yes, he also observed that Naruto had the hots for Sakura. He didn't understand that. Hinata was head-over-heels for Naruto and yet, he wants this noisy annoying pink-haired girl who couldn't stop talking.

.

Ino screamed as she pushed Shikamaru away and ran to where Sasuke sat. "SAKURA! You bitch! You pushed me on purpose!" She screamed then she smiled sweetly at Sasuke. "Good morning, Sasuke."

.

Sasuke lazily raised a hand as response.

.

This was seriously messed up.
