Summer Rain
Chapter 1: Finding Angels
The sky was a hazy blue and the wind blew cold through the trees which lined the old stone buildings which made up the high school campus. Many of the students walked by, chatting away with the latest gossip and tales of boredom. Beneath one particularly shady tree a boy sat. An old book balanced expertly on his knees as he read intently, only stopping to curse at the freezing wind that blew his dark hair in front of his eyes.
As the bell rang he sighed and stood up after gently placing the worn book in his backpack. Wiping the dirt from his pants he set out to his next class; many kids stared and a few giggled at the state of his uniform. Unlike the crisp clean uniforms which adorned many a student, his was worn and wrinkled. Mud stains cake the bottom near the muddy, dusty boots. The usual white shirt was now a grayish color and in a state of complete disrepair.
Sighing, the pale boy walked through the doorway of his next class and took his place in the dark corner in the back. On the board MR. HATAKE was spelled out in caps in an elegant cursive. Black eyes looked to the left as the usually empty chair was roughly pulled out and a backpack was tossed onto the old wood desks with a *thud*. A similar (but louder) sound was heard as a boy ,a bit taller and much heavier than the dark haired boy, sat down in the creaky chair. "You should be careful, these desks are older than your grandfather" mumbled the dark haired one, though he didn't face the other.
"Oh thank you," the other smiled and gently set his bag onto the floor. "My name is Naruto by the way, Naruto Uzumaki!" he said proudly but the other didn't make any sigh of communication. "So uh…" Naruto though hard to stop the awkwardness, "what's your name?" the other simply pressed his closed hands against his perfect lips and sighed gently.
"Oy Naruto come sit over here!" a boy yelled from the middle of the room and Naruto took one more look at the pale boy before sighing and running his fingers through his blond hair.
"Well I guess I will see you around ne?" he waited for a moment for an answer but never got one. He slowly walked to the group of kids in the middle of the room as they waited for class to start. Once it did Naruto didn't pay any attention to the silver haired English teacher but looked back a few times to look at the mysterious boy. After class as he walked to the school entrance one of the girls came up to him.
"So I see you met Sasuke huh?" she asked in her annoying high pitch voice. Naruto blinked at the girl and she finished, "the boy you kept looking at in class, you know scary, anti social… dirty. His name is Sasuke Uchiha."
As Naruto walked home that afternoon he could only repeat the boys name in his head over and over again until he fell asleep that night. 'Maybe I can try to talk to him again on Monday." He thought as he drifted to sleep.
