DISCLAIMER: I don't own Naruto, or its characters.

Hope you enjoy the story. It's been itching at the back of my head for this whole week. Review and tell me if it's been worth writing or not.

Prologue

Naruto woke up and looked at his curtains. It was the morning already. He got up and walked out of his room. After taking a shower, he walked downstairs to the kitchen and sat with his father. They rarely talked in the morning, so it was a normal day so far. But that was short lived when his father tried to start a conversation. "So... how are your grades?"

Naruto looked up from his oatmeal. His father was blocking his face with the newspaper. "Good. B's in gym and Tech. But A's in Science, Algebra 1, and Laguage classes."

Naruto heard his father talking to himself. "That's very good. Same grades as your old man when he went to high school."

He folded the newspaper and placed it to the right of his elbow. "Is anything going on in school that you...don't like."

Naruto sighed. "No, I like it the way it is." He lied as he stood up and turned around, grabbing his bag and walked to the door.

Naruto stopped when he felt his father's hand on his shoulder. "Have a great day at school, okay?"

Naruto nodded and walked outside, closing the door behind him. He walked to the garage and grabbed his bike. He strapped his backpack on him before he rode down the hill that he and his father lived on. The hill consisted of twists and turns on a dirt road path. It was two miles to the nearest town.

Naruto rode the two miles every day to get to school and back. And when he got there he had an even harder time with the cool students there. Just because his father was scientist at a base in town, everyone thought that they were working on evil machines and weapons to destroy humanity. And because Naruto was a scientist's son, everyone thought that he was an experiment that they worked on.

Naruto stopped when a car got too close to him. He continued to ride his bike to the school's entrance and got off his bike as he got near the other bikes. He chained his bike to one of the poles and walked up the stairs to the high school. When he walked in a water balloon hit him and got his clothes wet.

Naruto looked at the boy who threw it and glared. The boy's dog growled at Naruto as it popped its head out of the guys jacket. Naruto sighed and walked down the hall to the gym. He walked into the changing room and opened his backpack. He took out a pair of clothes and got changed. He walked out of the room and walked down to his first class.

Naruto opened the door and walked in. He saw that his science teacher, Kakashi, has already started his lesson. "You are late again, Mr. Uzamaki."

Naruto grunted and sat in the back of the class in his own desk that no one sat in. But this time there was the annoying popular raven, Sasuke. He and his friends were the ones that threw ballons at him. Naruto looked at Kakashi. "Sir, why is Sasuke at my desk?"

Kakashi sighed. "Mr. Uzamaki, this is a paired experiment. And if you were here you would have known."

Naruto groaned. "Okay, but why him?"

Kakashi got annoyed and glared at Naruto for asking too many questions. "SIT Uzamaki!"

Naruto followed directions and sat next to Sasuke. As Kakashi told what they were going to do, Sasuke chuckled under his breath. Naruto turned his head and glared at Sasuke. "What are you laughing about, Sas-gay?"

Sasuke stopped laughing and looked at Naruto. "Don't start a fight that you can't finish, Lose-amaki."

Naruto groaned and banged his head on the table. Everyone looked to the back and saw that Sasuke was laughing out loud. Kakashi coughed and everyone turned back to him. "Okay, now, without any interruptions, we are to make any acid that you can remember from this year.

Naruto lifted his head and grabbed the gloves, apron, and goggles, putting them on. He reached for three containers labeled 'Thionyl Chloride', 'Phosphorus Trichloride' and 'Phosphorus Pentachloride'. He set them in closer to his empty container. He turned around and looked through the shelves for sulfur Dioxide and Hydrogen Chloride. When he found them he returned to his desk.

"What are you doing?" Sasuke asked as he sat back.

"I'm doing the assignment. But I have something for your lazy ass to do." Naruto replied.

Sasuke scoffed at the blondes comment. "I don't do anything in school."

Naruto rolled his eyes. He poored two Phosphoric liquids and Thionyl into the empty container. After that he looked at the sulfer before adding it, slowly. He set the cup down and reached for the Hydrogen Chloride. He poored all the liquid and watched as the combination of liquids settled in. A gas was coming out of it but soon disappeared leaving the acid.

"Done." Naruto called out as he set down the containers.

Kakashi walked over and looked at the container. "What acid is this?"

Naruto smiled. "This is-"

"No, I meant Sasuke." Kakashi said as he interrupted Naruto.

Sasuke grunted and shrugged his shoulders. Kakashi sighed. "I should have known as much. Okay, what kind of acid is this Naruto?"

Naruto frowned. "This is Acyl Chloride, sir."

Kakashi smiled. "Good job, Naruto."

Naruto nodded and sat down. Sasuke grunted. "Teachers pet."

Naruto shrugged. "It has its ups."

Sasuke scoffed and opened of his eyes. He looked at Naruto's face and frowned at how sad it was. "What's wrong with you?" Sasuke asked in an unusual soft voice.

Naruto looked up and wiped his eyes. "Huh..what was it you said?"

Sasuke sighed. "Why are you crying?"

Naruto shook his head. "I wasn't."

Sasuke huffed. "Yes, you were. Don't lie when I'm trying to be nice."

Naruto scoffed at that. "Why should I beleive that you are trying to be nice. All that has happened from you was not nice."

Sasuke looked at Naruto again. "Some people change. Or, at least, try to change."

Naruto looked at Sasuke and made a soft smile. "You'll have to earn my trust before i believe that."

Sasuke groaned. "Why are you being so hard-headed?"

Naruto shrugged before laughing. "My dad says that I get it from my mother."

Sasuke opened his eye again. "What happened to your mom?"

Naruto looked at his feet. Sasuke realised that he struck a soft spot. He got up and looked at Naruto. "Hey, I'm sorry for asking. I didn't know that was a soft spot to you."

Naruto shook his head and got up. He walked out the door and ran down the hall as tears formed at the side of his eyes. He stopped at the boys bathroom and sank to his feet with his back to the wall. He tried to hide his face as Sasuke came running down the hall calling his name. "Naruto... What did I do?"

Naruto shook his head. "You didn't do anything." Naruto tried to take a breath but came out sobbing, "It's just that my mother died by giving birth and today would have been her birthday."

Sasuke sat down and hugged Naruto. He tried to comfort the younger boy to the best of his abilites. "Why are you so nice to me after all this time." Naruto sobbed out.

Sasuke patted his head. "I wasn't the one who was mean to you. It was my friends." Sasuke replied in a soft hushing voice, "I never wanted to do anything to you without a specific reason. Being a scientists son is not good enough."

Naruto hugged Sasuke closer as his sobs slowed down. Sasuke rubbed the boys back as he was released from his clutched. When Naruto let him go, he wiped the tears from the sea blue eyes. He looked at them and smiled. Naruto smiled back. "Better?"

Naruto nodded and stood up with Sasuke. He hugged the raven, wrapping his arms around the boys stomach. "Thank you for not hating me."

Sasuke smiled and hugged the boy back. "Why would I?"

Sasuke sighed and looked at the blonde boys hair. 'How could I hate something this adorable.'

Naruto looked at Sasuke and smiled. "Does this mean that you are going to try to be my friend?"

Sasuke nodded. "Yeah, I'll try my best."

Naruto smiled and let go of Sasuke. "Heh, sorry for calling you 'Sasu-gay'."

Sasuke smiled and nodded. "And I'm sorry for calling you a lose-amaki."

Naruto smiled at the apology. "Thank you for saying you're sorry. What would everyone though if their bad boy turned nice?"

Sasuke shrugged. "I don't care."

The bell rang and Naruto ran off to his next class. Sasuke watched as Naruto left him there. He smirked as he walked to his next class in the other direction. 'I want to see if I can get further than just a friend. but right now I have to attend Algebra 1 with Kurenai and my idiot friends.'

Thank you for reading. It might be short for this one but I promise that the next one will be longer. Review and tell me if it is in need of anything. Bye!

*The Acyl Chloride is an organic compound but is in the acid group.
