Here it is...my second attempt at a highschool fic. I love reading and writing them because they're so...fun? Idk, it doesn't take as much planning on my part, so I update them a lot more quickly. Please enjoy!
Sasuke Uchiha glared at the people swarming his desk, knowing damn well this had been a mistake.
The classroom was too small. There were too many students. His teacher seemed completely worthless, being more engulfed in his book than what was occurring in his classroom.
Sasuke wasn't used to this, the chaos. He had been home schooled since he was five, his parents telling him he couldn't get a proper education by attending public school. In fact, when they had heard of his intentions to attend Konoha high, they were shocked.
"Honey…why would you want to go there?" His mother had asked, confused.
"I'll be attending college soon. I might as well get some experience about dealing with other people my age." Sasuke replied.
Which was partly true. He did want to get used to dealing with…people. Whenever he was in public, he felt stares and heard suggestive comments...which left him feeling awkward.
The real reason he wanted to go to public school , though, was because of Itachi. Even as a boy his brother had surpassed him in everything, and when Sasuke saw an oppurtunity to finally triumph over Itachi, he seized it.
"It isn't fair!" Sasuke railed at his brother.
"You always get better grades than me, you always do better in sports, and you always, always, get everyones praise! Can't I ever win?!" He cried in exasperation.
"If you want to beat me at something…why don't you find yourself a nice girl? Something I never succeeded in." Itachi replied coldly.
"What?" Sasuke asked, startled, assuming that Itachi was joking.
"Sasuke, you've never had a girlfriend. Quite frankly, me and the rest of this family are starting to get embarrassed. There are rumors that…you and your friend Naruto are…well"
Sasuke waved for his brother to stop right there.
"A relationship, huh? That kind of thing won't be hard for me at all" Sasuke replied, smirking.
How very wrong he had been. All the girls he had met so far annoyed the shit out of him. In fact, he wanted to give up right away and leave the school. But he knew he would never be able to find someone special in a party or uncontrollable environment, so he sat there and allowed himself to be harassed.
"Oi! Sasuke-teme!" He heard a familiar voice call.
"Naruto?" He asked, actually happy to see the clown faced idiot. The circle of girls surrounding his desk slightly disbanded.
"What are you doing here? I thought you were too good for public school" Naruto teased.
"I needed a little change" Sasuke replied simply.
"How is everything so far?" Naruto asked, sitting in an unoccupied desk next to him.
"Annoying. Just like you"
"Your kindness kills. Hey, let me see your schedule" Naruto said, snatching the paper off Sasuke's desk before he had a chance to object.
"Whoa. We have three classes together. Lets see, your lunch is...yup, the same!"
Sasuke groaned. It didn't seem like he would be able to learn anything now, the teachers would surely be inaudible over Naruto's stupidity.
The door creaked open as a girl with pink hair and green eyes tried to sneak in. If any teacher other than Kakashi had been on the job, her attempt would have been in vain.
"Hey, Naruto" She said as she made her way over to where he sat.
"S-Sakura chan" Naruto stuttered. Sasuke's eyebrow cocked upward. In the ten years he had known Naruto, he hadn't seen him look so...flustered. Obviously he had a thing for the girl.
Sakura looked over as she noticed Sasuke. Sasuke braced himself for impact.
"Whos your friend?" she asked breathlessly. Yes, she was drooling.
"Him? Uchiha Sasuke." Naruto replied uncomfortably.
"Nice to meet you" she said brightly, extending her hand forward for Sasuke to shake.
Sasuke took it begrudingly. He had no reason to be mean to her yet, but he sensed that underneath that nice exterior was a real pain in the ass.
Sakura then moved away from him, too shy to attempt chatting with him. Her face was slightly pink, and she now turned her attention to Naruto.
"Did you hear? This teacher makes his students read 'Come Come Paradise' as part of their studies. Unbelievable!" She told him, leaning on his desk.
"Really? How does he get away with it?"
"He says it helps us to understand the innerworkings of male and female relationships."
Sasuke tuned out the rest of their conversation as he began twirling a pencil in his fingers. Occasionally he sensed Sakura looking at him, but he refused to acknowledge it.
He dropped his pencil on ancident, and as he moved to pick it off the floor, he saw her. One of the prettiest girls he had ever seen in his life.
She stood by Naruto's desk, her face concentrated, as though she was forcing herself to do something uncomfortable. Her pale eyes rested on the fox like boy, while her delicate fingers clutched what appeared to be a spiral. Her long indigo hair fell over her shoulders and framed her soft face. If Sasuke was a pervert, he would have had to admit she had a killer body, too.
"Naruto" Sasuke said, nudging his shoulder.
"What is it?" Naruto asked, irritation in his voice. His flirting with Sakura had been going well for once.
Sasuke merely pointed at the girl, and Naruto whipped around to face her.
"Oh, hey" Naruto said, grinning. Hinata flushed before handing him the bright orange spiral.
"Y-you...you dropped t-this on th-the ground earlier so I wanted to r-return it" she said shyly, bowing her head a little bit.
Naruto thanked her before opening his backpack and putting the spiral back in its proper place. The girl was about to walk away when-
"Whats your name?" Sasuke asked rather boldly.
She turned her porcelain orbs to him, smiling slightly.
"H-Hinata Hyuga...and you are?"
"Sasuke Uchiha"
"A-an Uchiha! Very nice to meet you...I k-know your brother...he comes o-over to do business with my father" Hinata said brightly.
Hyuga...Sasuke did remember the family name coming up every so often, but he had never met Hinata.
"I think I know a Neji Hyuga" Sasuke said, vaguely picturing the boy that was colder than himself.
"Y-yes...Neji is my cousin" Hinata explained.
Sasuke smirked. This girl was nothing like the proud Hyuga he had met.
"A word of advice, Hinata. This idiot" Sasuke said, gesturing to Naruto, who was currently tossing goldfish in the air and trying to catch them in his mouth (with little success).
"Is very loud. Next time you speak to him, make sure you're loud, too" he continued.
Hinata grinned.
"I'll try to remember that"
Chapter one done...tell me what you think. Suggestions welcome.
